History is replete with powerful forces who seek to dominate. It's a constant factor in our lives as far back as written history will go. The edifices of power may sway and shift hands, but all institutions of power seem to seek to preserve, protect and project their power, not see it reduced.
As such, the 'sin' of anyone effectively challenging their authority, anyone who is shattering the lies that their power and authority is built upon, is seen as a 'sin', an unforgivable sin. Those who speak truth against the falsity, those who destroy the lie of the "official narrative" are the enemies of those in power who seek to keep reality a secret.
When one speaks the truth to the lie, the liar is exposed. Since the liar's authority and authenticity to rule is based on a lie rather than a reality, the truth and reality destroys the unreality the liar has created and used to sustain their position of power. Be it insider whistleblowers or outsiders who expose the lies and unrealities, those who shatter the "official narrative" are despised and hunted as enemies of those in power.
When it comes to state power and authority, these people often are "enemies of the state". It's happened openly in the past when governments would try to silence the media who actually did their job, and try to charge them with crimes for exposing truth. Think of NIxon and Watergate.
When an employee of the state "turns" against their master and expose the secrets, such as was the case with Snowden and Manning, these lights of truth in the darkness of lies are seen as traitors who deserve the most severe punishment that can be levied upon them. And those who assist them to get the secret truth out to the public, like Assange, are just as despised.
Leaked emails, documents, audio and video are the most damaging to the liars because they are admissions coming from their own mouths. Correspondences within the deep state are treated as state secrets by making them "classified" and unseen to public scrutiny. Those leaking these conversations, no matter how criminal the activity being exposed, are treated as the real criminals and sent to rot in prison.
While most sane people are thankful to Manning and Snowden for exposing the state secrets, some view them as traitors, preferring to hold onto the illusion of comfort that statism provides them. Any exposure of the state as doing something wrong is a threat to it's legitimacy and authenticity to rule.
When whistleblowers are treated as criminals of the highest nature, while the state criminal activity is ignored or justified, there is little hope for the truth of reality to be discovered by the masses. In order for the public to find out what's really going on, researchers have to file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) applications to be allowed to read what government personal are or were doing, waiting years and decades to find out what happened.
The official narrative sustains the power structure and authenticity to be the authorities in power, to be the masters of our reality. The more divergent the official narrative is from the authentic truth in reality, the more the half-truths and lies need to be sustained in order to authorize the state's (or those in power of the state) authority to rule. Dissent and counter narratives must be extinguished. Whistleblowers, leakers and their publishers must be ignored and criminalized.
We are living in a superstructure of lies built on lies, going back decades. The legitimacy of narratives in play now, are built on the legitimacy and authenticity of narratives from the past. Exposing the lies and deceit of the past shows us the fabled and illusory world we are living in. But few seem to care, as they simply keep going along with the official narrative and maintaining the illusions that allow the authorities maintain the status quo.
The masters of reality in government and media do a good job of keeping many asleep and ignorant of the importance of truth. Pulling one thread of a lie can lead more people doubting the authenticity of authorities in power.
Everything can begin to unravel if enough people start to talk about something over and over and spread it far and wide. The legitimacy of lie is destroyed, and so too is support for the lie. This happened with support for Vietnam through the Pentagon Papers, where people blindly believed in the legitimacy of the war created by the government. Similarly with post-9/11 wars through the Iraq lies sold to start the cascade of wars. Yet the emotional charge and trauma of the attack has overruled the clear vision to stand against the lies of the wars, and they continue unabated at this time.
The lies are all around, and the edifice of power is sustained by it. Those who expose the lies are the enemies of the state, but the heroes and allies of truth and reality. While many rejoice at the arrest of Julian Assange, they fail to realize how perverted they are from being authentic human beings aligned with truth. They support the fall of man to another dark age of humanity.
The speakers of truth and exposures of lies are not sinners, they are virtuous people doing works of good. The sinners are the ones who are attached to the lies and hunt down those who expose the falsity and unreality that robs the rest of us of a better more authentic way of life.
