Excellent documentation/explanation, John.
That Larry regards this as funny makes me have doubts about his suitability as an agent. The danger we face is sobering, not funny. But then, he could be feigning a casual attitude in an attempt to see if we are paying attention. Thats the trouble with having had psyops training: nothing can be taken at face value and everything must be scrutinized for the possibility of untruths or hidden meanings. I gladly shoulder this burden even though it is at times debilitating.
