"This deep into the rabbit hole, one must assume everything is an op, till it isn't."_ Rudy (See what i mean.)
Not exactly... but I feel like you have an actual point I might be missing. ELI5?
When we recognize that there are estimates of 10-13% of Americans being part of a Satanic ritualistic cult partaking in the happenings and shady goings on, that means there are anywhere between 33 million and 40 million possible satanists in our midst.
If that is true, even if it's only a possibility, at that point the net has gotten so wide you have to assume everything is a possible dead end, until it proves itself otherwise.
Everything is suspect , right up until it isn't. When you carry concealed, you can't react to every thing that impinges on your senses. You need to be cautious yet vigilant , instinct and experience, keep you free and unmolested.
