Yeah, I know re joke... everything I write is at least 1/3rd joking... tho my sense of what passes for humor can be just as black and obtuse as these programs we catch glimpses of.
But I am serious about free-flowing info being good and right ... and suppression, through whatever means, being bad.
I do sometimes wonder if the info being hidden is SO mindwarpingly awful that it's a blessing we are kept ignorant... but then think about how most people who seek power actually are, and rest assured it is just power plays and money.
Heck, if it is found we are all getting vivisected like Prometheus' liver, forever, and this life is a delusion between screams as we lost sanity eons ago, they'd likely tell us ...unless it hurt the markets.

Especially if you believe the "other thing" is real and operational. It basically eliminates all the draw backs of using nuclear weapons, and with almost none of the warnings associated with nukes (launch signature). Throws MAD right out the window. Pretty scary.
