I have friends who work for NSA as consultants and they have security clearances. Breaching that security clearance can not only get them a possible life-sentence, but their careers would effectively be ruined. They are authorized to mention is what they specialize in e.g: quantum computing, set theory, etc.
Your friend may work at the NSA, but much like Bob Lazar who claims to have worked at Area 51 and has legitimate checks given to Area 51 employees as proof, he most probably cleans the toilets and doesn't need a security clearance. Personally, I doubt a cryptographer would risk their entire life and career just so they can divulge information that will be known in a month's time. It is possible, just very very unlikely and rare, and even if he is a cryptographer with a security clearance, he may just be pulling your leg.

So, at least dozen people will give me a star and 13 people will give me a flag if I create a thread saying:
"Someone told me that [insert cool conspiracy theory here] is true, although he could not give me any additional specific information about it."

Okay please let us know...are you talking about one person or more than one. If it's just one then please say 'he/she' because you're just losing credibility each time you post.
Believe me I'm not trying to be mean, and I want this to be legitimate, but you're making it seem unlikely the way it is being presented.

why don't you say it next month instead of saying it here, sheer waste of people's time.

A very good friend of mine, I have known them since we were kids, works for the NSA.

I asked them if I could mention it on here and they did not care because they said that so much of that kind of information that is false is flying around that this will just blend in with the rest of it.

With that said, while it would be nice if this would happen, methinks this is going the same way as those YouTube clips of weather balloons, or the latest Blossom Goodchild prediction.
In other words, bollocks. I've heard 'wolf' cried too many times now to take any real notice anymore.
