I didn't mention ES. I'm speaking in general terms. HISTORICALLY, what
I said in *general* has proven to be true, time & again. If others think
for some reason, it's now going to be different, they're entitled.
I'm speaking of various agencies making statements of how "difficult it
is for them" to track / crack / infiltrate the Tor network & other
similar topics or propaganda.
Once you start to believe in conspiracy theories you inevitably end up
questioning any version of reality.
Theories? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt. There's no theory
involved in my statement. It's simply based on historical facts. It's
based on hundreds, if not thousands of years of gov'ts' behaviors, the
world over. If you want to take the last 75 yrs, there's still more
than enough historical documentation that advanced gov'ts always know
more & can do more than they let on. In fact, they'd be insane NOT to
do it this way.
All Gov'ts' would be derelict in their duties if in general, they let
the public & other states know all their technology & intelligence
capabilities. That is the ONLY point I was making.
Historically (not theoretically), what the public knows at the time is
often the tip of the ice berg. In reverse, many believe the Holocaust &
moon landing were some gov't's scams.
Is it a "conspiracy theory" that many (an undetermined %) of email,
internet activity, phone calls, skype, VOIP communications, etc., of
persons that aren't suspected of any criminal activity, are being
monitored? In spite of congressional hearings & national coverage, most
people forgot about it after a couple days or just refuse to believe
it. Polls show many still think there WERE WMDs in Iraq & that Saddam
Hussein was responsible for 9-11.
For all of recorded history, average citizens have never been too
interested in, or taken the time to find out as much as they could about
what their gov't was up to.
