Something I'd never assume, let alone say in seriousness. In fact, I think my sarcasm couldn't deliver such a line. The CIA is a known entity with known habits, even if given examples are not always known. To this day, they have a reputation even for giving money to terrorist organizations, which is a head-scratcher since I don't think Antifa has gotten a single check since being declared as terrorists here in the US?

So are you conceding that its possible that 10 or more powerful people can keep a secret for extended periods of time? It was your claim that this was somehow unlikely even though history has shown us otherwise. Let's also point out that people are less likely to be reckless and gossip when their lives or the lives of their loved ones are on the line.

No, my approach is to elaborate on the one example brought up before me, not on anything else. See, here would be like you asking me about a specific kind of apple, and I respond in terms of its color, texture, and flavor, and now you're saying that by my logic, somehow, all apples are crisp and tart because I dared say anything of substance about the one kind of apple you'd brought up.

No. You were attempting to make a very common argument about people being incapable of keeping secrets to debunk any conspiracy theory. I'm simply here to say that there is proof that large groups of powerful people have kept many documented events secret for many years

Such an ironic idiom since it's used to compare a manmade behavior of hiding from the truth to a separate behavior of a bird seeking to leave their eggs somewhere relatively safe. But by all means keep using said idiom.

Will do
