Original Post:
I asked, concisely and simply, what was being hidden from us. Most of them just berated me, one user claimed the Syria conflict to which I provided a link to a recent UN Statement on which quite accurately reflected the conflict start to finish. Another user claimed that the recently declassified Nixon era documents about the Chilean revolution and coup, but I was able to find a 1973 archived Newspaper accusing the Nixon Admin of having a hand in it from Times Magazine meaning it was already a mainstream theory at the time.
Sounds good. You gotta be more specific then, you were answering a point number 1 with a response numbered number 1 that had nothing to do with that specific question.
(I made an edit to my answer BTW to answer your specific question with some details and comparing it to health care in the 1990s, check that out if you didn’t see the edit yet.)
This new question, I addressed here:

And then there’s some back and forth about whether or not there actually was the type of embargo on these topics that I’m claiming there was, which still didn’t come to much of any conclusion, but I laid out my side of it at least. I won’t say they kept people completely in the dark, but enough so to prevent any useful action from being taken on it until their monopoly broke up in the early 2000s (and still to heavily heavily mute a useful response from taking shape). Other examples include the deaths of Iraqi children under American sanctions or American sponsorship of torture and anti-democratic movements in South and Central American all throughout the late 70s and early 80s.
1 and 1 were figuratively and literally 1:1 given the context of the post.
What was point 1 in the comment you were answering? The exact wording, I mean.
I’m not going to sit here and explain things a second and third time when you’re not even the one who made the comment in question.
I’m trying to help you. I think if you quote the exact wording, it’ll help you realize something, and me quoting the wording didn’t seem to make much of an impact, so I’m trying this approach.
Anyway, I was happy to move past that and address the substance of what we’re talking about at some significant length and answer your specific question, because it is an important question and I’ve got some things to say about it. If you’re not happy with that idea I’m not sure what to tell you lol.
