"and everyone has some triggers"
A fancy way of saying a C++ function pointer, except the callback is emotional trauma or a reminder of sorts.
Actively disabling those involves, analogically, pointing the pointer to a void function that does nothing. Running it in a sandbox is always handy, too.
"Although the more cynical parts of myself believe if operations like Mockingbird and such were exposed, the people would just beg for it to be returned."
I actually have to concur with you. Which is why my objectives have switched from idealistic heroism ('let the people know!' … they don't want to know) to pragmatic neutralism ('lets just usurp Mockingbird and point humanity into doing generally good using it').
I think I surprised a few people in that I shifted gears from idealism to pragmatism when it was required (idealists turn into either denialists or cynics on first contact with reality going bad).
"Don't get into it for money."
Money is a worthless IOU. Experience is infinitely valuable. Biggest risk for me is power tripping.
"They are usually as aware"
I've found in any experience of an evil person they project their moral assumptions onto individuals. Psychopaths 'proudly' displaying their murder victims, for example.
"They probably just wanted to see how you would react."
Struck me as FBI trying a quick co-conspiracy charge on a fabricated crime.
If they do gauge, they're looking at an echo chamber on that one, because I like to clock how they react to my reactions and modify them accordingly.
I disclose any discoveries I make from the observations, so it always burns old ground and 'ups the ante'.
Most insecurity disclosures follow on the heels of my announcing observations indicating as such (the way I see is I'm used as a 'benchmark' - if I can see it, chances are the average joe already know so they quit/fess up and move on).
The thing that does incline me to ask a question is you've got the word "sous" in your image name, which is the same name as the character from Gravity Falls.
It appears as an American phonetic spelling for "Zeus",and I know those MK-Ultra guys have a hardon for Greek references.
I get why Disney do it (they have one such reference in nearly every film they've made, including 'Hercules'), but I'm curious why you've done it.
"they'll create more "events""
I got the puzzle you talked about many years back. Cryptography puzzle. I purposefully didn't solve it (ESP read as 'unsolveable' - one of those nasty logic traps).
I think my non-response baffled them. They bailed when I came dangerously close to unmasking the sender instead.
Back then I twigged mass facial recognition was a thing. Wasn't acknowledged until nearly 3 years later in the Snowden leaks.
All of my discoveries soon became stuff that got publicly disclosed in one form or another.
Keep an eye out for the 'blackmailed politicians' stuff.
I think you're well aware of the cross proxy war of controlled politicians between various governments, organisations, agencies, groups, billionaires etc.
These days corps are cutting out the middleman, sticking in their own shills as politicians. Planned parenthood have thrown their hat into the ring, with the ironic 'I'm a doctor who doesn't work for big pharma'. Apparently planned parenthood aren't big pharma.
Midterms are going to be a shitstorm.
