What would they gain? Look at the slides, these are not normal people all working in a large circular building. What would Kennedy have gained from the Bay of Pigs crisis had it gone the other way? Group think is it's own force. Those slides are pretty disturbing IMHO as is pretty-much everything I've ever seen out of that org.
- saganus 10y agoDamn. I was not aware of this. I mean I was aware that spooks were aware of forums and watching them and such, but I never thought that a forum like HN would be a target for them. But I guess that after thinking for a bit HN could definitely be a valuable target. It's just hard for me to accept that a community I visit regularly could be under the influence of these organizations. Scary thoughts.
