Like our control-obsessed federal government is ever going to really allow you access to information of such potentially explosive importance.
The feds' reach exceeds their grasp. There's no way they can block all the inbound signals from every direction around the planet, and no way to control the distribution of the information.

The trouble with most conspiracy theories is that they require a level of competence that human institutions have never demonstrated.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft
