They have a distinct commonality of nuclear research. As such, is the limitation in pattern recognition not yours? If you are overlooking it, you are suppressing it, and are a a part of the conspiracy.

From what I’ve looked up, the range is actually quite broad from astrophysics to aerospace to administrative roles.

Here are the individuals mentioned:

* Michael David Hicks (JPL, comets/asteroids research) * Frank Maiwald (space research / JPL) * Monica Reza (aerospace engineer, JPL) * Nuno F.G. Loureiro (MIT, nuclear science and fusion) * Carl Grillmair (Caltech astrophysicist) * William Neil McCasland (Air Force, aerospace research) * Melissa Casias (Los Alamos National Laboratory, administrative role) * Anthony Chavez (Los Alamos, construction foreman)

I’m not sure what standard is being used to claim a meaningful connection here. The category seems extremely broad.

And the idea that “if you question it, you’re part of the conspiracy” is pretty convenient reasoning.

Honestly, I’d love to be part of some shadow organization secretly running the United States from behind the scenes — do you think they’re accepting applications?

For the record, an administrative worker can have access to substantial sensitive intelligence. Construction workers can know the physical details of facilities. Both are a rich target for a foreign intelligence to exploit. I am not claiming that anything of the sort happened, but it merits investigation.

First, sorry for the earlier sarcasm.

I agree that people in administrative or support roles can still have access to sensitive information and could, in theory, be targets.

But that still defines a very large group. If we include anyone with potential access across different institutions, roles, and locations, then it becomes easy to see patterns in what could simply be unrelated cases.

The key question is whether there is any concrete overlap — same organization, same project, same timeframe, or any shared operational detail. Without that, it feels more like a pattern being inferred after the fact than evidence of a coordinated connection.

More broadly, if we make the category of “possible targets” to wide, it stops meaning much. The default assumption should be that these are unrelated events, unless there’s clear evidence tying them together. Simply saying they could be targets does't really change that.

		I think this is an interesting pattern, but I see your point. The network effects of ~people a degree removed from direct nuclear research~ gets big.

Yes. Rape or murder a woman or child and you may receive an invitation.

American Thought Control and thought controlled Americans human sacrifice of the innocent to pay for their “Power.”

From the Satanic sacrifices of the 80s/90s, through the public shootings of the 2000s, to the rise of white nationalism and everything that stands for today, the occult shadow governance pervades all, for they have the ultimate Power to travel among and act as God in the minds of the vulnerable and unsuspecting.

It is a mob culture, with hierarchies who can hear every thought and memory in the human mind, not an organized cabal of rich wealthy people using encrypted chat.

And they do these things to control the narrative and prune dissent.

Conspiracy theories are a natural way to try to make sense of a chaotic and confusing world where the government has shown a pattern of lying to its citizens. Unfortunately, the theories oversimplify, find patterns where they don’t exist, and almost always melt away when looked at critically (see the Michael Hastings commentary above).

The mistrust in the government is well founded, as Snowden, CIA secret operations in the Cold War, Abu Gharib, etc. have shown. But conspiracy theories fully embrace the nihilistic view that truth is unknowable, everything is evil, and other people have far more power than is actually realistic.

At some point it becomes a literal mental disease, and if you truly believe what you’ve written you should seek help. QAnon and pizzagate are creations of internet trolls on 8chan who lie to the vulnerable to gain their own little power.

		Well trained response! We are not alone in our own minds, and secret occult communities of Power have been among us throughout our humanity, the signs are there, only explained away as eloquently as yours.
