Spies Are More Common, and Boring, Than You Think
How many spies are there anyway? Many Americans were surprised in 2018 by allegations that a Russian woman, Mariia Butina, had infiltrated the National Rifle Association and was having sex with well-placed men, in the hopes of receiving information for Russia. Politico has reported that Russia and China are significantly stepping up their spying operations in Silicon Valley, to extract useful tech knowledge.
I think Americans underestimate the extent of spying in their midst. Because we do not know the number of operating spies, that’s a hard hypothesis to test, but there are a number of reasons to find it plausible.

It might be cold today but God’s alternator is spinning. 🌞
To be fair to God, he doesn’t alternate, he only generates when his rays hit the solar panels. God doesn’t ride the sine wave, he follows it with the help of some thyristors.
