i worked for a government department once too... my job was entering invoices relating to disbursements... my supervisor was a hard faced bitch, as is the norm in government departments

being an investigator or intelligence operator of some kind doesn't necessarily mean they inculcated you into the mindset or that they have put a short leash on you either

there's a lot of illusions people have about the supposed power of governments and they are wrong... it's more error than malice, the malice has deep roots and tries to stay away from easy connections
