Strange that I can’t find anything about it online anymore. I swear I read once that Snowden used ATR as a cover by travelling with them, or had a song of theirs play as a signal to a Wikileaks contact when making a drop of leaked data or something along those lines. Pretty sure Snowden has stated he liked the band a lot too but can’t find that either.
All I found was that their album Reset was based of Snowden’s revelations. I want to believe there is more to it than that, but I admit I may be wrong. My mind may have fabricated this info, it hasn’t been the first time but it doesn’t feel like that, I’m fairly certain I read about a connection before.
More likely, the article I read has been purged from the internet or is being blacklisted from search engines, which I’m sure sounds like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, so easily could be true these days.

I accidentally sent that before adding the message that went with it.
Those should be read in order. Don’t let the titles fool you.
It starts off bleak. It ends just as bleak but with a tiny light, which is almost certainly going to be extinguished.
I might have more to say, but that’s quite a lot of reading I already linked. I don’t expect anyone to actually read it all, I only hope 3-4 people do. Then they share it and 3-4 more check it out.
