The Snowden effect has worn off, it seems. Nowadays the NSA is back to being able to pull the most extreme stunts and everyone who thinks it is even remotely possible is called a crazy conspiracy theorist.
- exmadscientist 5y agoTo claim that the NSA caused or faked the Thailand flooding is conspiracy theorist bullshit of the highest order. To claim that the NSA took advantage of an existing event to help their already-planned ordering fly under the radar more easily is perfectly plausible. And, honestly, pretty boring. Which one are you alleging? Choosing your words carefully might be wise.
