Uh, well, some years ago, I had been in Belgium...
But I guess, that's some fix the government finally did after it had the technological possibilities in the late 80's.
BTW, here in Germany, we have a "Bielefeld Verschwörung" (Bielefeld Conspiracy). Many people believe, there is a city Bielefeld, but there are lots of indications that Bielefeld is a fake and not existing. I think it's Germany's most popular conspiracy, but unfortunately, most information about it is in German.
