rant begins
Nothing pisses me off more than the government's excuse of "No one can find out, we can't tell you because if we did you'd know we've done terrible things and everyone in the world will be mad at us and revolt" and claim a threat to national security. If you don't like the consequences of your actions how about you don't fucking do it in the first place you greedy fucks. I wonder if we'll ever get state secrets privilege abolished. If Trump pulls out that card when this thing breaks open we'll know what side he's actually on.
rant ends

I understand your frustration. Here is another thing that FBIAnon said, that I didn't put in the summaries above.

FBIAnon: "If leaking data en mass destroys my country, we betray the country. If we do nothing, we betray the country. I am not disagreeing with you. I am saying the situation is more complicated when you are on the inside, and you do not have the breadth of info that I have that would make your eyes fall out of your skull if you knew what all was going on." (emphasis mine)

Yeah I've read the whole FBI Anon thing before, and I'm sure it's true. But the people instigating this shit shield themselves behind the potential negative consequences of their actions and eliminate anyone that unearths the truth. I simply cannot accept an entire planet living based on a system built upon an intricate web of lies, fucking over the majority of its population all because the truth will bring the system to its knees. Should it really be up to a (un)chosen few to selectively disseminate information and decide what is best for the world? They (TPTB) have the power and the means to shape and manipulate global events.

I need a beer...or seven.
