Theory is that any two people are only 6 degrees of separation apart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon

Lots of people are even closer to someone involved in bad secret stuff the government is doing. So a fair amount of stuff leaks out via rumor and gossip, some true and some distorted by having been passed from person to person over a few beers.

This lends credence to other totally fictional or vastly distorted conspiracy theories about what the government might be doing.
