I'm glad I watched the whole thing...it was very informative especially about the Librarians and the Gag orders.

EDIT: It appears I spoke to soon because some guy just went in-FUCKING-sane repeatedly demanding an answer to the question who kills more people government or corporations. Not only is it beside the point of what this discussion was fundamentally about, but it was asked in a sort of wild-eyed psychotic conspiratorial way that placed a "The End is Near" sign around the spokesholes neck! It honestly upset me how crazy this person sounded because you could sense his desperation to be relevant while having his ass throughly handed to him but a much cleverer commentator.
