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

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

That is not how these things work.

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.
