Cybersecurity Quote by Maximillien de Lafayette
““Even amid an avalanche of meetings with aliens in the years to follow, Truman referred to the aliens as “Space Monkeys”. Truman was a very complicated man, and did not trust anybody. Behind the screen, he had developed his own plans regarding German UFOs and aliens’ technology. He replaced the OSS with the Central Intelligence Agency by the 1947 National Security Act, and gave the agency an unlimited power to investigate everything and anything related to Germany’ UFOs and the alien phenomenon.””
