Cooks

 Have you ever walked in on something that you know you weren't supposed to see? My whole life is based around situations like this, and making them go away. We're called cooks. As a casual cook,I get hired by a few companies every year to get rid of a bank account or two, or convince 5 or 6 people that the fire across the street wasn't started by those men in ski masks. It's all quite glamorous. 
 Calling bullshit already? I don't blame you, I would too. Because I'm sure what you're thinking is something along the lines of "Men in Black" running around with memory wipers. No, no. I don't have anything near that kind of technology. All I am is a pretty face with a suitcase full of money and a pocket full of negotiating techniques. 
 The big boys in my industry don't work on suitcases and good looks, however. Cooks for the government may or may not have the technology to wipe memories, but even if they do, chances are they've never used it on you. Instead, they'll use reverse theories to convince the public that a conspiracy is for the birds. 
 My favorite example of this is 9/11truth.org, which my buddy Gus wrote. In 1999, some people asked him to make up some ideas on how they could make a government-funded terrorist attack theory look like a meth-addict's logic string. Gus told them "If you want people to believe a lie, you have to make the truth seem even crazier."
 So that's what they did. The men who came to Gus wrote the true reasons for "why" 9/11 happened, and connected it to fake ways of "how" 9/11 happened. Things like jet fuel not being flammable, or bombs being inside of the building. So when the people have crazy ideas, or have gaps in logic, everything they believe is refuted.It's really quite brilliant.Nobody even thinks to consider that Bin Ladin was working for the U.S.F.G.
