Yeah, I left out the spoilers and stuff that didn't actually happen.

There's a lot of what were open secrets in the 90s, like that the gov't was scanning internet traffic and phone calls, the existence of the NSA, the CIA blackmailing US politicians, that gets combined with wacky conspiracies in there, which leaves a bad taste.
