Best Kept Secret in the World
/‘Does it even exist?’
SOMEWHERE – Until today, nobody seems to know anything about the best-kept secret in the world. Even international secrecy experts don’t have a clue about what the secret is and if it even exists. Do you know more?
Read My Slips surveyed random passersby with the question ‘What is the best-kept secret in the world? An astonishing 100% (hundred percent!) of the respondents answered: ‘I have no idea!’ (followed by ‘Please leave me alone!’)
The secret service of the Netherlands couldn’t or wouldn’t provide us with any helpful information. Off the record we did – or we didn’t – speak to an anonymous source. It may have been an ex-employee of the Algemene Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdienst (The Dutch Secret Service), or not. She or he explained: “Give it up. At the ‘secret’ service you are never going to find the best-kept secret in the world. How secretive can an organization be when you can find their contact details on their website. Yes, you heard me right. The secret service of the Netherlands has… a website!”
Our anonymous source could only guess the nature of the best-kept secret of the world. “Is it an idea or a concept? A person? A recording? A case of fraud? A new weapon? A new species? An inexhaustible energy source? And is it locked? Sealed? Does it have a self-destruction mechanism? Is it buried or are we all looking at it while nobody notices? Does it even exist?”
[Anonymous source] claims to know absolutely nothing, even after repetitive prodding from our side. “Please stop pressing me, I really have no clue. And if I knew anything, anything at all… I wouldn’t tell you anyway.”
