I have watched the show MI5 aka Spooks

The basic problem is people whose entire knowledge of the world comes from movies, TV dramas, Alex Jones, and a collection of idiot websites.

Movies and TV shows lack the "noise" and confusion of the real world, because they're telling a story, and they don't have time. EVERYTHING in a TV show "means" something. Everything in the "real world" does not. In the real world there are random mistakes, confusing and contradictory reports, odd-looking photos, meaningless coincidences, etc., none of which are evidence for a conspiracy.

Alas, your comment DEFINITELY doesn’t apply to me...though you are making it out to be the case.

“In the real world there are random mistakes, confusing and contradictory reports, odd-looking photos, meaningless coincidences, etc., none of which are evidence for a conspiracy.”

Btw, I can tell you must assuredly that you can take your sentence and remove the word “random” and it forms a basis for the disinformation specialist.

And YES, they do exist - under various names.

I think it is interesting that some have tracked back the info on the Conspiracy website Abovetopsecret and believe it leads them to the conclusion that it is connected to Intelligence Services.

Is it? I don’t know.

Could it be?

Of course.

Wonderful post. I've found this to be very true from firsthand experience.

Bears repeating: Not EVERYTHING that is odd is also relevant.
