    Cryptome was created by John Young and Deborah Natsios, both highly successful architects.[22][23] Over the four decades of their architectural practice, they have handled multibillion-dollar projects ranging from urban design to forensic services.[24] They have worked as architects, contractors or independent consultants for people and organizations including the Council on Foreign Relations, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York, Columbia University, W Hotels, Reuters, Opus Dei, the Rockefellers, the Mafia, Five Percenters, the Church of Scientology, the Black Panther Party.[25][26][27][28] As a result of their architectural work, they have been invited to speak at prestigious functions like FedCyber, an annual cybersecurity event on critical enterprise and federal government challenges.[24][29]

    Deborah Natsios grew up in CIA safe houses across Europe, Asia and South America reserved for covert CIA station chiefs.[30] She later received her graduate degree in architecture from Princeton University. She has taught architecture and urban design at Columbia University and Parsons The New School for Design, and held seminars at the Pratt Institute and the University of Texas.[38][39] She is the principal of Natsios Young Architects.[40]

    In addition to being co-editor for Cryptome, she is responsible for the associated project Cartome, which was founded in 2011[41] and posts her original critical art and graphical images and other public resources to document sensitive areas. She additionally holds a degree in mathematics from Smith College. She has given talks at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference[42] and Architectures of Fear: Terrorism and the Future of Urbanism in the West,[41] and written on topics ranging from architectural theory[38] to defenses of Jim Bell and assassination politics.[43] She is a notable critic of Edward Snowden.[44]

    Or "Trust Wikipedia?"

    Some advocates for disclosing what the National Insecurity State is doing have had encounters with it (such as Natsios's family).

    Cryptome has been clear over the years not to trust it, or anyone else discussing these deep topics.

    Our customary warning is to be skeptical of anything placed online (or offline), in particular the web sites and news outlets which claim to publish controversial material as well as those which publish the most banal -- any source can be contaminated by those who claim highest trustworthiness. Messing with public information is a long-standing practice of public officials and those who blame public officials to conceal their own perfidy. Thus, we periodically remind to not trust Cryptome, trust only yourself. The greatest hazard is ignorance cloaked as authoritative wisdom.

    Cryptome, aspiring to be a free public library, accepts that libraries are chock full of contaminated material, hoaxes, forgeries, propaganda, cruelly damaging autobiographies, biased biographies, bald-faced lying facts and hypnotic fictions, official statements of affirmation and denial, agenda-promotional vanities, planted errors and deliberate omissions, censored and redacted documents, holy writs and devilish deceptions, concocted mysteries and beguiling fables. Astute readers, seeking relief from manufactured and branded information, will pick and chose, strike their own balance and off-balance among the best and worst among thousands of libraries few of which brag of marketing-grade trustworthiness most closely associated with snake oil, chauvinism, nationalism, evangelism and the commerce in authoritative owning of information by copyright aggression.
