> Here's the thing about conspiracies: they have a shelf life. The amount of time you can keep a conspiracy secret is bounded by the number of conspirators, how well you can get them to shut up, and how long it has been since the conspiracy occurred. You can take a secret only you know to your grave, but work in a group of ten and someone will confess before their death. Bring in hundreds or thousands and the conspiracy will be blown open accidentally before you can even execute on it.

That's what they want you think!



If someone has the means to compel the silence of millions then we're not talking about a conspiracy anymore. We're talking about the SCP Foundation. The conspiracy will grow to encompass the entire planet, after which there will be no one to hide the conspiracy from[0].
