SpiralDrift 08/02/18 8:51:33 AM #11:	All the "government is spying on us" talk moved out of the realm of conspiracy theory at the same time that everyone started carrying video cameras in their pockets and couldn't make up UFO or cryptid sightings as easily.

Just kidding. in all honesty it is crazy to me because normally when people make claims about cover ups and stuff there is a reason being it .
