    I will always remember how Michael Moore in the movie Fahrenheit 911 had this little segment that seems like few noticed or remembered.
    There was a neighborhood group that had started up to address local political issues. A man joined this group and came to the meetings and no one thought it strange. That is, until his death was reported in the papers and it turned out that he was a law enforcement officer that lived in another town. He was reporting on the actions and minutes of this group.
    It is my belief that this is happening all over, and what they cannot get people to surveil they are using technology - on all of us. I think this throws into question virtually everything about our lives, our country, our civilization, our reality.
    The countries of the world need to end this competition that terrifies everyone - all countries are terrorist and all citizens are terrorized - and war and start working together.
    Reagan said it in the context of nuclear arms, but our country's reality is just as important, we need to be able to ask question, get answers, prove that the answer are right, question them, criticize them - TRUST BUT VERIFY.

      @@vladbishbosch It's an interesting thought. There's long been a theory that certain actors (no pun intended whatsoever) are controlled-opposition, and they're here to perpetuate an illusion that hopefully will convince Americans and the rest of the world that the U.S. government and their intelligence is like a giant octopus with boundless tentacles, reaching across the globe and constricting everyone and everything in its path. The obvious reason being that--in reality--the scope of the U.S. government's power is, in fact, totally limited, minuscule, and perhaps not nearly as effective as we're led to believe. No different than like the tale of some legendary monster of folklore, told from generation to generation to keep children from misbehaving or something.

Then a year later they trot out their defector asset Bezmenov to make the exact same claim about the KGB. All in one: damage control that implicates the USSR and justifies these illicit activities because "everyone else does it", justification for less oversight and a complete media blackout of their operations - closing the loop against future leaks to journalists.

A CIA analyst warned in a 2018 report that New Zealand was fully compromised to CCP. His report was ignored.
