Does it matter?

Listen to them when they speak. Ask yourself, does it
serve you and your highest good Take what is valuable and leave the rest.

You are aware now. What more do you need? It doesn't
matter if they lie or not, if they speak or not. Just go about your business with purposeful haste. Your business
being birthing a new paradigm: Personal responsibility.
Decentralized local community. Dream it. Live it. Make it
happen.

You really don't need any of them. You are that powerful.
Whistleblowers, legislators, presidents. They can be ignored into irrelevance. You don't need to find a parade. You can BE the parade.

Paul Newman has died. The fathers are passing. I almost
qualify for elder status myself. I speak to you now as an
elder trying the new position on for size. Go about your business. Be the parade. Where will you take us. Tyranny or Utopia? Your children await your answer.
