Another example I meant to include, “oh that…yeah I know, we are told not to
look into this, its pretty well communicated if you research into giants or
other races they will end your career immediately, we are told to say its
all 1800’s media fraud regardless of the evidence, in fact they think they
have found a living tribe of Neanderthals in northernmost Canada, but I
don’t know anymore about it, its pretty controversial, again if you ask
questions you’ll be working at McDonalds tomorrow”. This quote found at

Berkeley.
