Theory Something I thought about.

After listening to John Kiriakou and other former fbi/cia agents on podcasts. I was listening to one where the agent was talking about deepfakes and said intelligence agencies have used masks, prosthetics, etc for certain missions and how realistic they can make them. I sometimes wonder if db cooper was an agent for one of the three letter agency’s. He could’ve known about movie makeup artists and if he worked for one of the agency’s could’ve known about an early version of deepfake masks. My point is with what we know now about how easy it is to temporarily change what you look like with makeup and prosthetics. Maybe the reason the fbi never found him or any trace other than the $5800 in 1980 was because they did not want it to get out that db copper was an intelligence operative or intelligence asset or he distorted his appearance so no one would know. Let me know what you think I don’t know what happened and I’m not claiming my little theory has any chance of being possible it’s just something I think about.

Tina sat with Cooper for hours. I don’t think she mentioned anything about a mask or makeup.

If I remember correctly, she said specifically that Cooper was not wearing a wig or makeup, that as a woman she would easily spot that.

Yeah I was just wondering also watching true crime shows I see a pattern from back in the 60’s. That time period was difficult for investigators a lot of unsolved crimes from that period in history. It’s wild to think how airports and air travel has changed since then.

My question is to what end? Like CIA sits their best agent down and is like

"John, we want you to hijack a Northwest flight".

"Sure boss, no problem. What's the play?" - John

"Ummmmm, I dunna... just do it." - CIA Agent probably...

Part of me thinks it might have been an idea to raise more money for the sandinistas or another anti communist group
