I do not know to what extent NRS is driven by Lu or not. I do know that he
was involved in its creation and I told him at the time that I wanted nothing
to do with it because I did not think that the intended mission was a good idea
and NRS has done nothing to make me think any better of it since that time.

In business, we all end up working with/for people who do things we don’t like.

I don’t work for or have anything to do with NRS and I don’t work for defense
contractors and the like.

I honestly don’t know. I share the same suspicions you state above, but
I really literally do not know. I will refer you to one of your own statements
to me about distinguishing between idle gossip and proof.
