- "If he’s telling us this I can’t imagine what kind of sh*t they’re actually doing"
- "CIA taking control of cars? I knew those speeding tickets weren’t my fault."
- "Not sure what's more chilling. The fact that all this crap is true, or that they can flex this way because there's nothing you can do to stop them."
