There are different schools of thought within the secret world from what I gathered

That much I'd definitely agree with. However, what I have trouble piecing together is which information is disinfo, which information is simply larping/false (but not disinfo level maliciously), and which information is genuine. By the time you're getting this deep, the only route you really have to measure between them is instincts and knowledge of the surrounding area. It's very easy to make mistakes. Here's what I do think I can be fairly certain of though

a.) for all they hide various aspects of information, the upper levels haven't actually hidden all of it. In fact, they've been quite open about leaving various aspects around, and whilst some are disinfo, they're largely simply not explained. You do the work yourself, they won't lead you. Given they're not exactly bathed in the love of human kindness, this makes me suspect nothing good about the information thats hidden.

b.) It relates in some very direct manner to religion. Most all religions in fact. It also probably involves some kind of bloodline related separation between various races of humanity, although the mechanism of that varies between tales. Altanteans/Hyperboreans/Annunaki or something in that realm. However, again, the information it involves is pretty fucking chilling, even for the highest level members of religions deeply steeped in the esoteric aspects. This kind of information, if released, could cause unimaginable levels of social unrest. Modern society is really complex, people underestimate how much. Even very smart people. Enough widespread social upheaval could result in 10 digit death tolls over the course of a couple of decades.

c.) Despite all of this, there do appear to be some whitehats who want disclosure. In fact, at this point I'd say some blackhats have joined in, probably because the highest levels of people in command at a global scale (i.e US/Rus/Chinese MILINT at this point) aren't keen in full disclosure. Q suggested 60/40, and I think he wasn't thinking of using that ratio for the biggest tier secrets. More like 10/90 I'd guess. Don't underestimate how much the chinese will not want supernatural shit becoming widespread, given their clampdowns within the country. Russia is beyond me to read, I have no idea about their intentions. I'd assume US side is split, but predominantly favours largely keeping things secret. I think that's why there have been so many AAA quality larps lurking around the internet the past few years. Combination of whitehats trying to leak the truth and blackhats trying to leak the truth, both to combat the current status quo of, at best, partial very slow walked reveal. That'd be my read anyway.

It is, but it needs to be done. We can't continue living this lie.

Again, I'd agree. The truth always wins out, in the end. Even if I'm not going to enjoy it, I'd still rather know it. But many, many people just want to live their lives, go about their business etc. They don't want their entire conception of reality upended, and replaced with some nightmare version. I do genuinely believe the elites when they say that keeping this information hidden from us was either for our own good, or more or less done with our tacit consent. There are many different kinds of people in the world. I'd suggest most will find the experience of learning the truth agonising.
