I work with some ..middle age, Russians, and they are starting to discuss a feeling of Deja-vu they are experiencing. These discussions usualy end with the concept that we should really start worrying when we ~no longer~ hear about such things in the media.
My college advisor (who should rot in hell for deciding that my two already completed physics courses weren't good enough with only one semester to go) was investigated by the FBI twice because of the number of radio antennas at his house. The first time was 1978, the second 1983. The 1983 people refused to acknowledge that they were there in 1978, even though he kept copies of forms he had to sign. His family had been in America for at least four generations.
So this is not a new thing. I want follow up investigations on suspicious purchases. How many people were saying the FBI didn't connect the dots on Oklahoma City or 9/11? But one person gets a visit by the cops and suddenly it's 1953 USSR? (Year chosen at random.)
The fools story was so not newsworthy that a British paper has to publish it. The Boston Globe must be shatting themselves over being scooped.
