That thread is disturbing. Too many people hoping for the end of the world? Apparently because some of them want to feel justified in shooting other people?
I guess I know the feeling, at least as a teen, but I’ve tried not to invest myself in it.
The whole thing is a like a Rorschach test.
It seems pretty plausible to me that they unintentionally ended up imaging or other sensor data about some classified program, by the US, an ally, or someone else. The involvement of the post office seems odd, but that may just be a logistical issue.
Less plausible, but unsurprising would be, as I joked above, that it is an attempt to stifle or co-opt climate science.
But, like I said, its a Rorschach test, and what I find plausible probably says more about me than anything else.
Foreign government attempted to hack into the observatory (but why when they can see everything from space, unless its a backdoor to some military servers)
Anthrax mailed to the facility (haven’t heard of that in a long time though)
Observatory inadvertently or purposefully took pictures of a top secret satellite in orbit
Aliens: but I would imagine the government would be sending in Top Secret, Seal Team 6 dudes that wipe out the facility and make everyone disappear
OR….
Someone at the facility found dirt on Hillary Clinton and she had them “suicided” LOL (just kidding)
LOL I’m a member over on AR15.com as well, and even build my own rifles… but its amazing how paranoid/schizophrenic/ridiculous people can get.
