I feel like by now everyone ought to know the lengths govt agencies will go to, to keep shit like that under wraps.

Like bro, Brockovich is still fighting, decades later. Assange is rotting away before the world's eye. Donziger is still under arrest.

Environmental activists are the number one threat in the eyes of many government agencies. Not right wing racist extremists, not corporate polluters, not too big to fail banks - environmental awareness groups.

It IS disappointing, and it IS crazy, but anything which threatens the status quo gets thrown in a black site by BOTH AISLES, and we really can't afford to pretend that's not the case.
