The idea that there are groups of people communicating with each other privately doesn't really need a lot of evidence. It's 100% likely to be true.

A better question would be "why do you think these specific people are coordinating with each other?".

What do you want a citation for? I personally communicate in private groups, and so do you.

Well it just seems like you pulled a number out of your ass to support a statement that you're trying to backup

The number is perfectly accurate. It isn't even possible for all communication to take place in public. So I have to ask again... what is it that you think needs a citation?

You just said some set of facts is 100% true and accurate on the basis that it is rumoured to have occurred in a private conversation of which no one can validate. This is problematic.

Example: I know for a fact that 9/11 was inside job. I communicate in a private think group, so you can take my word for its truth.
