“It’s too late to change events, it’s time to face the consequence”
What are the consequences when our government lies to the public?
What consequences await those who unearth and dutifully report on such falsehoods?

“That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse”.
Whitman’s use of the word “may” interests me.
Does he mean we could speak, but only if so inclined?
Or does he imply that there is obligation inherited with this gift?
More true for Americans?

“And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within.”
Here the protagonist is shoved, tumbling roughly to the ground. And yet he rises, perseveres.
Must we not also rise, after suffering each and every injustice? See the race to the end?

Truth matters
The primary federal law that prevents the government from using Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to suppress whistleblower disclosures is the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012 (WPEA).

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
In 1916, World War I left Tolkien scarred by combat and loss, shaping the emotional depth and themes of his work.
In 2026, our ring has come to us, and we must now decide what to do with it.

Finding themselves stranded at a crossroads, their tank broken, they have an impossible choice: flee and leave their comrades to die, or stay, save them but face their own destruction.

“Get out your notebook, there’s more”.
Government coverups are nothing new, inspiring accounts both fictional and historical.
Original crimes are bad enough, but it’s the coverup that makes the scandal.
Like the man says, get out your notebook. There’s more.

This is one of my favorite TV shows. In fact, it drove my career direction!
I loved the blend of shadow government agencies, unsolved mysteries, the main characters dynamics.
What I identified with most however, was Agent Mulder’s insatiable quest for the truth.

In these insane times ask I- “Where art our Toto’s, our Dorothy’s?”
There once was a wee dog named Toto,
Who followed his nose like a pro, though.
He bravely pulled back the screen,
Revealing the fraudulent schemes—
Why, it’s just an old con stealing OUR SHOW!

Fond memories here. This performance stands out as one of the gems. A reinvention of the familiar into transcendence.
Lyrics suggest knowing when it’s time to step away from disillusionment and return to our origins.
I think that’s what America should be about.

I think Robert Frost said it best.
Life is about choices.
To take the left or right path, to help or hold down, to elevate or denigrate, to shout or stay silent.
We all must choose, though in that choosing, we leave our other, unknowable selves behind.
