I would followup with one question. Is it a conspiracy if they tell you exactly what they plan to do?

Something that might interest the Aussies here ...... I've been reading a book called "An Interesting Point, A History of Military Aviation at Point Cook 1914 – 2014". It's available as a PDF from the RadSchool website if you're interested: An Interesting Point - A History of Military Aviation at Point CookCheck out the story about the parachute dummy on page 97. (I played pool and darts in the officers' mess at Point Cook.)

I'm currently working on a project with a company in the Netherlands. The people I'm working with are young, very bright and a pleasure to interact with. Great people. Though I don't really enjoy international travel the way I used to due to all the BS, I will look forward to going back over if I'm ever allowed to.

A good lesson in the creation and proliferation of Fake News: "It is hard to believe that a preliminary search for an alleged cemetery or mass grave in an apple orchard on reserve land near the residential school of Kamloops could have led to such a spiral of claims endorsed by the Canadian government and repeated by mass media all over the world. It gives a terrible and simplistic impression of complex issues in Canadian history. The exhumations have not yet begun and no remains have obviously been found. Imaginary stories and emotion have outweighed the pursuit of truth. On the road to reconciliation, isn’t the best way to seek and tell the whole truth rather than deliberately create sensational myths?" www.dorchesterreview.ca/blogs/news/in-kamloops-not-one-body-has-been-found

Legends are that victims were buried in mass graves allegedly here, then there. "Experts" were called in, and eventually the search narrowed to, of all places, a cemetery near downtown. Sure enough, they found a couple of people buried there!
By the way- that "massacre" ensued after a black mob opened fire and killed a white man.

The Way Out
Any elaborate system of government must have a justification, and the justification of this one cannot simply be that those in the ruling class are entitled on the basis of their superiority. That argument went away with the divine right of kings. No, for the current ruling class, the justification is science. The claim of bureaucratic rule is a claim of expertise—of technical or scientific knowledge about everything. Listen to Fauci on Face the Nation, dismissing his critics in Congress as backward reactionaries. When those critics disagree with him, Fauci said recently, “They’re really criticizing science because I represent science. That’s dangerous.”
The problem with this kind of thinking was pointed out by a young Winston Churchill in a letter to the writer H.G. Wells in 1901. Churchill wrote:
Nothing would be more fatal than for the government of states to get into the hands of the experts. Expert knowledge is limited knowledge: and the unlimited ignorance of the plain man who knows only what hurts is a safer guide, than any vigorous direction of a specialised character. Why should you assume that all except doctors, engineers, etc. are drones or worse? . . . If the Ruler is to be an expert in anything he should be an expert in everything; and that is plainly impossible.
Churchill goes on to argue that practical judgment is the capacity necessary to making decisions. And practical judgment, he writes in many places, is something that everyone is capable of to varying degrees. Everyone, then, is equipped to guide his own life in the things that concern mainly himself.
Another thing about the experts is that they are not really engaged in the search for truth. Instead, the powerful among them suppress the obvious fact that there is wide disagreement among the experts. There always is.
God save us from falling completely into the hands of experts. But God has given us the wherewithal to save ourselves from that.
