Oh, so sad to hear that its no longer there .. it was a staple in my young engineer life, so many decades ago now, and was definitely a rare gem in the area. I remember one Saturday morning, the herculean effort it took to get past the junkies and into OpAmp for a supply of fresh techdat. Sheesh, so sad to hear its gone.

I lived in LA for a few decades, and one of the few things that kept me sane as a software engineer living in a land of space cadets and celebrity worshiping airheads was the grand plethora of technical bookshops and electronics supply stores that were, once, liberally littered across the landscape from Burbank to Culver City to East LA.

I haven't been back to LA in decades, but I sure hope that OpAmp Bookstore is still alive and kicking, and has had its share of bookshop cats since I last scratched that scruffy itch. LA has so many wonderful secret locations hidden in obscure streets, behind strange storefronts .. it was one of those cities where the old maxim "don't judge the food by the entrance" was also true of bookshops ...

Any actual evidence at all would suffice. The word of America's criminal intelligence agencies does not.

What evidence? Press reports about intelligence agencies is not evidence.

Where is the direct, observable, undeniable evidence?

If you don't have it, then don't keep parroting the nonsense.

> I'm on the left..

That doesn't mean you aren't fascist, or hold a view that isn't hurtful to democracy.

Both 'sides' are equally capable of totalitarian/authoritarian thought.
