I feel a bit sorry for him, though, as his conspiracy theories have driven away all the rest of the family. Crazy as it sounds, this is nowhere near the most bizarre thing he’s thought of. I have to ask – how does he claim to get his “insider information”? What is he inside of? ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > I have to ask – how does he claim to get his “insider information”? What is he inside of? He never comes right out and says where his info comes from. He was in the Navy 15 or 20 years ago, and kind of hints that he still has connections in the military. He also says he has connections with higher-ups in the software industry, though that’s a whole other conspiracy there.
