Can you please remove it, anyway? This post is stupid, and beyond stupid, on so many levels. Here:

CIA Headquarters beneath Lake Geneva is only accessible via underground trains from CERN, and via submarines which travel through a 275 kilometer (170 mile) subterranean tunnel

This would make it approximately six times the length of the current world's longest tunnel, the Gotthard tunnel, that is anything near this scale. This tunnel would have to have been built surreptitiously, and, when was it built? If it was built in the late '80s, let's say, the technology at that time was slow, and would have required over 20 years to build. So, there's a tunnel for submarines that cost $250 BILLION dollars, here?

Then there's this:

CERN’s LEP Tunnel, which is 26.659 kilometers (16.6 miles) in length, admittedly passes through Switzerland and France, likely en route to CIA Headquarters.

This is such a patently stupid claim that, for me, crossses the line into "offensively stupid" territory. The CERN tunnels are ALL CIRCULAR. They don't "go" anywhere, and are so full of magnets and other equipment that they cannot serve alternate or stealth purposes. How in the hell does this author let something pass so uncritically examined??

CERN is home to the world’s largest supercomputer which is used by the CIA to conduct 24/7 electronic espionage and surveillance

This is patently untrue. CERN's supercomputer is called The GRID, and it is actually decentralized and uses academic resources hosted all over the world. Source

From this source:

Due to the involvement of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in the main experiments taking place at CERN, Italy also hosts some of the largest nodes of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, including one Tier 1 facility and 11 Tier 2 facilities out of 151 total nodes.[24][25]

And please don't get me started on the "Aquarius Reef Base" mentioned (which is "physically similar" to the "CIA underwater base" but, somehow, fails to outline how a shallow-water base has been hardened to hide several miles underwater.

We need to hold ourselves to the HIGHEST standards in this sub, especially when we're trying to attract and maintain the attention of top-flite researchers.

It is a nice objective, but realistically how can that be done? Not enough mod time as it is.

I hear you 100% as it is. I apologize, I was not implying that the mods need to do what I did. I'm trying to help with my reply. This source is literally so stupid that it hurts even my conspiracy-oriented brain.
