So that becomes true even with things like, let's say the Iraq war, where we all saw the beginnings of that. So People who said that there weren't weapons of mass destruction [in Iraq] were censored, were vilified, in some cases lost their government jobs. There was a CIA agent outed as. As punishment for it. So that was the beginning of it. And then you saw things like, you know, the, the Snowden story where there was a war on whistleblowers. (11:43–11:52)
