I think it's irresponsible to opine like this with no proof.

I agree with Karrot. I also think it's irresponsible to keep digging the hole you're in

> this information has since been disseminated to CEOs etc via some sort of national security briefing

That is not how these things work.

You fantasize about something, claim to be able to read minds then extrapolate from there into another fantasy and present the final outcome as some kind of insightful fact though you are clearly not 'in the loop'. The degree to which you have qualified your statement to ensure we all understand you are making stuff up makes it utterly meaningless, it is simply noise.

This seems reasonable to me.

I think you're getting a bit of flak for your first paragraph here because it sounds scary, but then it's obviously unverifiable conjecture, I'm not sure why others can't see that.

The rest of it I think could well be spot on.

I lost all interest in replying. The replies I was getting were so odd I just deleted everything. It seemed like botreplies, weirdly automatic seeming comments that just didn't engage with what I wrote at all.

That's my take, you read it, I clearly labelled it as speculation and I have no idea what half of the replies even mean. I'll take my 'irresponsible' opinions away if people can't play nicely with them and act like adults.

Could you cite one of these things you've seen before? Genuinely curious.

That's not remotely the same as what you described in the first post.
