    I don’t tend to believe in conspiracies, but man they make it difficult by just constantly being the shadiest motherfuckers.

      learned from the Bureau of Prisons is every night they redo that video. … So, every night the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute missing."

      If this was a plot point in a mission impossible movie or some court drama, it would be panned as lazy and unoriginal. At best, this would be negligence on the people running the Bureau of Prisons as this was not standard for 2009 technology, let alone 2019. This smells like hiding behind technical BS from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

        I’ve seen that government. If their bureau of prisons is using a system that was current in 2019 I’ll eat at Arby’s

      Conspiracies need to be small and self contained. The more people involved, and the longer it needs to hold, the less likely it is.

      E.g. 9-11 being a government conspiracy with 1000s involved in the cover up? Likely false. George Bush getting info about an imminent attack, then having the info buried, since it would be useful? Far more plausible.

      In this case, the elite standing in lockstep to cover their own arses is quite plausible. It also fits that the group is already too large to keep the conspiracy contained, and so information is leaking like a sieve.
