Thise of us paying attention have known this since the late 90's, but were mostly called conspiracy theorists when we tried to talk about it in public.
That whole paragraph creeps me out i try to avoid this whole discussion now because I don't like observing anymore - I'd like to completely check out of it. The mass murder stuff is horrifying and I hate that its a part of my reality, and worse yet my kid has to see that shit on the news, and other kids have to live it. People need to let ideologies go and work towards space travel peace. If all the other bad stuff has become a reality, I just hope the star trek future we were promised can come true ;)
edit: by part of my reality i mean via the news as well - it hasn't directly affected me thankfully.
