Data/information can change the world.

And similarly, the withholding of critical information can change the world.

I am referring to data that is being held by Kim Dotcom, and Julian Assange, and perhaps others whose name I'm not aware of, regarding the profound criminal fraud within the Democratic Party in last years' USA presidential election.

Both of these people i named have information that could lance the entire boil of corruption, however, they have not effectively released that data and so events have not changed.

The information that is being withheld is:
*who is the source of the DNC email leaks? (Presumed Seth Rich but not confirmed by KD or JA)
^^^^ this info would change the world by killing the "russian narrative" once and for all

*data about voter fraud (which Seth Rich likely had access to)
^^^^^ would change the world by exposing the depth and breadth of corruption from democrats in last years election

*data which has been collected via surveillance supercomputer system
^^^^ would change the world simply be revealing fully the extent to which individual personal privacy is being subverted by the Deep State in many countries (Five Eyes and beyond)

Both Kim Dotcom and Julian Assange have long-running legal battles, and im interpreting their behavior as "trying to save their own asses by bargaining and cutting some deals" or using that information as leverage for their own personal battle instead of fully releasing all of the information so that it would literally topple the entire system that is prosecuting them (and oppressing all of humanity) and winning the entire war.
