"Many salutary policies and principles profit from open courts, as the courts themselves confess and concede: first, public confidence in the justice system benefits from openness nor secrecy, public trials not Star Chambers; second, public oversight that can expose misconduct or malfeasance in the justice system; and third, “community therapy” or the communal value of public truth-finding and accountability. A government of the people, by the people and for the people cannot tolerate secret, closed courts hiding truth, obscuring evidence, and imprisoning those who report on it."
-- Constitutional Attorney Robert Barnes
What is being released right now is not transparency.

Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
–Paul Anleitner
