Did they just tell us who did "it?"
We have a freshman Congressman who is from Georgia. He is taken aback at the reporter's suggesting there was no actual dirty bomb and yet we still might go to war with Iran anyway - which he won't respond to and leaves. He was in the Army Corps of Engineers. That overt detail is probably not random.
And there's that Pez dispenser! He says he bought it in a panic. Then despite being awkward and unpleasant, when he leaves, he tells her to take care - in a way that suggests something ominous.
They then allow us to very quickly focus on his exit - if you caught it - to see a framed picture about Truman building the "H Bomb" on the wall by his exit. Visible background minutiae are usually not an accident. So it all focuses on a nuclear reason for what we see outside. BUT I can't get over the short convo with the doorman about the radioactivity never being beyond "green" on the detector. That also suggests maybe she is right - that nothing happened as the government claimed/the population believes.
So is it too far a leap to say that our own government built the silos, and did something deceptive under the guise of a fake nuclear calamity? Or am I building a bridge too far?
