> All of this stuff reeks of some kind of psyop. My belief is that for some reason, the US government used psychology tests to identify a select few people who naturally "want to believe". These individuals would take vague evidence and through their own nature would exaggerate and fill in the blanks. They then nudged those individuals with carefully curated credible fake evidence. Then they just sat back and waited for a few of those guys to "leak" the information.

It's ironic to use a baseless conspiracy theory to accuse someone else of a disinformation conspiracy.

I feel sad to see that in the top post of an HN discussion.
