A Patriot recently posted a link to an old story about the CIA's heart attack gun, which reached the major media in 1975. Also at around the same time, MKUltra as well as other completely illegal and sinister programs (Tuskagee and the human radiation experiments to name at least two) were revealed.
And before this at least one other large scale criminal atrocity had been revealed, the mass deliberate government poisoning of Americans by spiking alcoholic beverages with methanol during Prohibition (for the claimed purpose of the resulting blindness and deaths discouraging others from drinking alcohol.)
But what did these quickly announced, quickly disappeared "information dumps" ever do?
Absolutely nothing.
In today's world, the average person goes by what is hammered into their heads repeatedly pretty much every single day, month in month out. A single announcement does nothing. It gets them the information but they don't act on it. It doesn't affect them inwardly in any way.
The only thing that does that is repetition. This is why, for example, Coke and Pepsi keep advertising at such a tremendous level. It's not that they think people have never heard of the product. It's because the only thing that shapes the buying behavior is the ongoing repetition.
We've all, or most of us, wanted the info dropped. Drop it all and arrest.
However, the heart attack gun, MKUltra, Tuskagee etc cases show that nothing happens when information is put out on the front pages of the newspapers and on the TV news for a day or a week and then disappears.
For most people, it takes long term dripping.
HOPEFULLY the dumbasses have reached the quantity they require so real business can soon start?!?

I totally understand what you are saying here Patriot, (OP). All that stuff was reported by "the news" and "the papers" back then. Pretty much all we had and people were already on the streets protesting the Vietnam "police action". Peace and love and drugs and rock and roll and, well you get my point. NOW, we have the internet and for better or worse, it makes the comparison somewhat less applicable. HOWEVER, your point about enough people getting the info and caring enough about it to become more informed to the point of even being passively active is spot on. You either hammer it in with constant repetition or have something REALLY BIG!!. So big it is unforgettable. Even then you get one shot and would need to be kept simple to understand by the masses..., and that is for only ONE topic/subject. This stuff is complicated and massive, (think rabbit hole). It will take some skill to pull it off. Hopefully our guys are as smart as we want to give them credit as being. I pray they may be even smarter than we can even imagine.

Because the general public, at large, are idiots . . .
