The existence of whistleblowers doesn&#x27;t invalidate every possible conspiracy theory. We can&#x27;t assume comprehensive awareness by proposing: If that were true then it would have been leaked. Every <i>known</i> government secret is eventually revealed. That&#x27;s a tautology. Generalizing it to every imaginable secret is a failure to understand the limits of inductive reasoning. The people who know how much Snowden knew regularly indicate that they still have more to hide. I&#x27;m suggesting that our awareness is limited to a variety of &quot;lesser&quot; secrets. These secrets are callously and ineptly executed by design. They inspire whistleblowers to act before they become aware of &quot;greater&quot; secrets. Their revelation also, apparently, lulls the public into complacency. Exposure to &quot;greater&quot; secrets is gradual and divergent. We will never be fully aware of what mk-ultra involved. Most of the documentation has been destroyed. It was actually kept secret despite being far more sinister. It&#x27;s the greatest (known) example of this fallacy. The documents with &quot;tens of thousands, perhaps a hundred thousand people in positions to read them&quot; weren&#x27;t leaked intentionally. They were discovered because they had been improperly filed and, for that reason alone, survived destruction. Alien visitation is extremely unlikely for numerous reasons. We don&#x27;t have to go nearly that far to support a potentially actual conspiracy. We need only assume that the perpetrators are motivated by power and&#x2F;or have advanced technology. They were able to hide a mind control program utilizing torturous methods 40 years ago. My point was that its worth conjecturing about what they may be doing now. They have apparent motives and we can extrapolate realisticly advanced technology. My second paragraph was just an example I threw together in the spirit of that activity.<p>TL;DR: Just because I&#x27;m paranoid doesn&#x27;t mean someone isn&#x27;t out to get me.
