US intelligence agencies have been removing thousands of historical documents from public access, the New York Times has reported.

I usually try to stay away from BBC and CNN, they are too mainstream to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ... but still, it gives some insight, hopefully

Jaysus, the U.S. suck so bad.

I like BBC. I don't check their site or anything, but I watch the BBC news on TV sometimes, when it's on and nothing else is.

I think you're absolutely right ... I wonder how far it will go before the masses start realising this ... maybe they will never realise it

Oh the worst has yet to come... I believe our only hope will be the internet, funny enough. The super elite never saw it coming to this point or expected the internet and the information available in it. Sure they probably saw an electronic network but this much in the hands of the users? Anyway information is required for education, educated masses are required for a free society and software is information, do the math. Our only salvation is open source software AND information.

When the Post reports on document removal, you have an image problem.
When the Times reports on document removal, the masses have good reason to be scared.

We'll know we're fucked when they classify 1984 itself.
