If you want your findings to be dismissed and ignored by everyone
except True Believers who have no need or use for accurate
information, send them to infowars.com.  That's one of the reasons
that shop exists, and the principal reason it gets free promotional
placements in "mainstream media" on a regular basis.  With friends
like Alex, you don't need enemy propagandists to "stain" your work
product with the taint of ignorant irrational bullshit.

That's a good first step for beginners.  But by definition anyone who
has "hit the motherload" won't stop there; the skill set required to
dig up high value suppressed information does not appear from nowhere,
and applies directly to solving the riddle of how to get that
information distributed.

The longer the rumor that Mendax is dead remains a rumor, the less
likely that it is true.  What evidence backs it?  I think it is more
likely that he is promoting the rumor himself, than that it has any
substance.

Who do you trust?  Ideally, nobody.  Security axiom, applicable across
all disciplines:  "A trusted party is one who can break your security
model at will."

Depending the size of your package, it may be practical to e-mail it
to a few dozen likely addresses.  If you want to be "anonymous" about
it, use TAILS on a second hand laptop bought with cash at a flea
market to create a webmail account while connected to an open WiFi
network with no nearby camera coverage.  All done?  Destroy the laptop.

Or use postal mail to send CDRs or USB sticks.

Or whatever.  Anyone clever enough to "get the goods" is clever enough
to figure out a way to deliver them to an audience.
