> leaked documents Of course more massive dumps of TOP SECRET and damning docs from all around the world, an ongoing effort by many new leakers, year after year with hardly but one between, until there is nothing left to leak... would be a more presently interesting read, each a useful window of change oppurtunity thrown open, than all the pixelated history of prior messengers and their caches as time does render all things. Until then, and even throughout, all the prior art stands, even if naturally compressed by the human mind over time into an easily remembered pictographic representation... some say as some combination or forms of... inspiration, proofs that such actions are possible, that some impact and thought comes from them, a respect, an affinity and peership upon the wall a substitute for what is rare to find or too risky to seek publicly, and that among other things, the entirety of it all is somehow... important. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_painting https://duckduckgo.com/?iax=images&ia=images&q=snowden+graffiti Squinting at the particulars of any image with mere point to name the depicted objects, that will leave you blind... contemplating all the the different meanings any image may represent, that will let you see, even with your eyes wide shut.

Does anyone know if they can get in touch with “opal hart”? This email is in a characteristic, but strange, teasing coyness that seems somewhat irregular for normal communication.
