Don't be thinking this event is old-style MK-Ultra out of the 60's, 70's and 80's. The science of the brain has exploded since 1990 and the surveillance vacuum cleaner sucks up all the research, published and unpublished, and analyzes it, and spits out a report to DARPA and IARPA, whose venture capital firms have funded and reaped the dividends for years. What WMR has uncovered in the Sejnowski inference is operating several layers beyond the crude and observable. I still think there may be a reason why the crypto operators were in attendance beyond curiosity and, while I haven't played Hercule Poirot on the details, I'm not convinced there weren't other shooters.
