While the revelations contained in those documents demonstrate that the Department of Defense has perpetuated outright lies regarding Ukraine's likelihood of success against Russia, State-aligned propagandists posing as journalists have used the leaks not to hold government actors accountable, but rather to justify the expansion of government powers.
Particularly revealing of the government's insidious determination to protect its absolute power over what may be considered true by controlling what speech Americans may see and hear is the regular disappearance of political memes and other humorous content from chat rooms and search results.
They fear you Speaking Up. They fear you Speaking Out.
They fear you Standing Up. They fear you Resisting.
At the end of the day all of their huffing and puffing reveals one unassailable truth: they fear you.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth - more than ruin, more even than death.
Why has the American government gone down this un-American path of censorship and political persecution? Because men fear thought.
