In an age of information overload, what is most significant?
It is what they do not tell us.
It is what they make it so difficult to access.
It is "nothing to see here".
It is what they dress up in mighty terms - commercial-in-confidence,
Parliamentary privilege,
national security, military secret, for the public's own good.
It is what Freedom of Information requests gets the silent treatment.
It is when shareholder microphones get shut down by the Chairperson of the Board.
It is when obvious topics of urgency, news or discussion of them do not appear as headlines.
It is when authorities underestimate the intelligence of the public.
It is when weblinks are blocked without any explanation given.
It is when the public are fed addiction on rather useless distractions.
It is when censorship occurs covertly with those in power shouting they represent democratic values.
It is when the public gets strongly aroused to find out for themselves.
