More bullsquat squared. There has been nothing secret about this. It's been going on since the 1960's. Maybe even earlier. It was never reported on before because nobody really cared about it,and it is only being reported on now because some news organizations want to pump up their profiles and ad rates by pretending to be reporting cutting edge news.
