Seriously, I'm not in the tinfoil camp. I have perhaps read a few too many Snowden documents, in detail. There are a few things I've see, concerning the use of social media. Things like "can we craft a message to go viral"

I really didn't like the message that linked Snowden to HAARP, for all kinds of reasons. It creates a false link between his documents, and the tinfoil theories surrounding HAARP, (global assassination, etc). And I have indeed seen some fake articles that tried to make precisely that claim. That kind of link would also put Snowden, and those who believe that he did the right thing, into the tinfoil-crazy camp. So it smelled bad. Maybe it's just random gibberish, like a lot of the messages. But it really smelled.

Why GCHQ vs NSA.... the most vile tricks we've learned about come from them. The Neo-COINTELPRO stuff.

Other than that, I do have a serious aversion to spammers.



Occam's Razor


By that you mean it's obviously NSA or GCHQ.
