We’re not paranoid if we know who created things, the whole point of Noster, they always say trust and verify well know the history of how the Internet was created know what happened know who seeks to created better and be fine with that 

 It's good to be skeptical. Verify. The apps are open-source and the protocol is open-source https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips

I built my own client and relay so I know the CIA isn't involved in that. You could build your own too. 

 Well. CIA will say the same - the CIA isn't involved. 🤓  

 I didn't say to use my app.  I said to build your own.  Only then can you know the CIA isn't involved. 

 Let me add that except for DMs (which probably shouldn't be part of nostr), nostr isn't about secrecy. It doesn't matter if the CIA is involved. As long as your notes get out there. The point is to be public and not be censored, not to be private.  If you want privacy you need a different tool.
