The fourth signatory's resignation opened SENTINEL's architecture to public exposure — but resignation is not prosecution, and the person who designed fourteen years of institutional suppression has spent the months since rebuilding the suppression function inside a multilateral intelligence coordination body.

The question the book asks: when the institution you are inside is the institution you are investigating, who do you trust?
