- Trace claims to the originFind the original study, video or document. Check dates and whether quotes are cut.

- Count the peopleBig secret plots need thousands of people to stay silent for years. That rarely happens.
- Talk, don't mockWith friends or family, ask questions, listen, share your own sources calmly. Shame backfires.
