It's incredible how many things have gone from "insane conspiracy theory" to "yes, declassified documents prove that the CIA actually did this".

Makes me wonder what things they're doing right now that might be declassified in a few decades... Makes me wonder what things they've done that were so fucked up that they still haven't declassified them.

Most of it is probably about mass surveillance and their propaganda machine.

I wonder if they have an evolved version of mkultra, maybe testing it right now on Maduro.

I regularly wonder how much of the dark sci-fi we’ve been cooking up over the years is just unaware documentary.

There's this reporter, Ross Coulthart, started going off about aliens and UFOs and telepathy and weird shit recently. He is an award winning investigative reporter who got turned into an alien reporter.

Well I noticed one day he starts talking about the GATE program (gifted and talented education) and testing children for psionic ability... Then i remember my parents trying to get me to try out for GATE and taking me to some weird building where they gave me weird psychic tests...

I failed them, but it proved to me that life is way stranger than we give it credit for. Yes, there are secret government programs looking for telepathic children. I've seen proof. That's probably just the tip of iceberg if so.

It honestly sounds like you dodged a bullet there

Sure, yeah, absolutely. Plausible deniability.

If you tell people about declassified CIA ops they will often call you a conspiracy theorist.

Like, no theory needed lad, this is official documentation.
