I said ”this way”. To me it is paranoid, yes. In my opinion nobody does this. (Don’t give them any ideas, either.) These are multiply redundant time sources aboard satellites in a multibillion euro program. Nobody is sabotaging them (in my judgment†), and we don't need to even bring the idea of this into the discussion. I won't reply to any more replies about this.
† Again as a disclaimer: I don't have a horse in this race and I subscribe to a ton of conspiracy theories (way more than you). This is just not one of them.
It may be "humanity's triumph" for you and me, but there are people who couldn't care less about that - people, for whom the only relevant thing is its impact on their political and economical standing. Such people are the ones who tend to find their way to positions of power.
