I reffer to the way the internal security services AND the corporate and other entities they are emeshed with, plus other groups such as PR for large businesses that sort of "think alike"
They have lot of money and power, they are NOT there to protect the Public in the case of FBI and MI5 but to keep the System going
Individuals and smaller units of security services may have benign desires but over all the services sure as hell do not
After seeing Ghandi etc they had to come up with ways to deal with "soft protest"
Ironically they have ensured the doom of our civilization in their arrgosmt demand for short term stability and power
Lyme is very likely a US bioweapon that got out, there's nothing at all unlikely in that scenario
Fits their outlook on bioweapons att the time as well, more about economic and social.disruption than megadeaths
Russians had at least two disasters with bioweapons escaping, so it's perfectly plausible
