Read this about MK-Ultra which stopped in 1973 - "In 1977, a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to project MKUltra, which led to Senate hearings later that same year." In 2001, all files were declassified related to the plan.
Operation Mockingbird also was made public really fast: "In addition to earlier exposés of CIA activities in foreign affairs, in 1966 Ramparts magazine published an article revealing that the National Student Association was funded by the CIA. The United States Congress investigated, and published its report in 1976. Other accounts were also published. The media operation was first called Mockingbird in Deborah Davis's 1979 book, Katharine the Great: Katharine Graham and her Washington Post Empire."
This shows that mass conspiracies don't just stay hidden indefinitely. Even the Tuskegee experiment was exposed within 7 years of it happening. Considering we live in a time of Wikileaks, more of these should be happening faster; not slower. The revelations came when we had news programs and underground papers as the sole source of news. Now, we have the Internet. Yet, nothing of real concrete value has come out to expose Sandy Hook as anything but a mass tragedy.
