The main thing I got out of this thread so far, is that people with far greater intel gathering skills than me have no clue WTF is going on lately either. That warmed my heart a little!

Two questions:

1.
The military goes through a lot of trouble recruiting "the best of the best". High intelligence, impeccable health, great physical strength, diverse talents and skills, psychic abilities. If you got it, they want you!
And then when they get you, they pump you full of poisons and generally abuse you in all kinds of ways to destroy you - mind, body, and soul.
Why?
This never made sense to me. What's the point in gathering exceptional people, only to destroy them, physically and psychologically?

2.
The only real reason I see to have any hope something good might be happening, is a couple of spec ops guys posting at t_gram. They don't really reveal anything secret (much like yourself!), and they seem legit to me. The only thing they tell us, is that lots of covert "swamp draining" operations are going on worldwide. A secret war is being fought.
Anyway, what do you think about this possibility? Meaning, the possibility that things are actually going on behind the scenes, and we might not be totally screwed just yet?
