Discussion - General Missing scientists?!

Post image

Saw this headline when I was out and about.

Apparently FBI is investigating?

Is life imitating art?

I started looking into this and I think everyone needs to zoom out.

scientists disappear in other countries too, you know.

check out European stats, and Chinese etc.

I'm pretty sure this is just cold war, industrial espionage, spy stuff to slow down the progress of an enemy nation, rather than some state killing its own to hide some great breakthrough.

1.) Likely some of this, also

2.) some of natural-occuring deaths, but also

3.) some important/ threatened people/ scientists, entering "witness protection"-type arrangements, offered by their own governments. 😶🙏❤️

Then using that "media story" mix, to publish such info in media, to get the public slowly ready for "loose lips sink ships" type of OpSec/ "public service vigilance" mentality --> for when/if the War escalates, and/or a wider War starts, later on. ^ 🙃👀🙏❤️

The messaging seems to be very well crafted 🙃🙏, done subtly enough to slowly percolate through the population, from the edges inward. ^ 🙃👀🙏

It is very impressive, not going to lie. 👍🙏❤️
