"'Government knowing' in the real world" means infinitely more than what will be found in any new employee orientation manual. The storyline on Lyle Laverty, whether speculative, third person, or openly admitted in interviews, is a case in point. Here we have a man who, in the early years of his federal career, was eyeball deep in sasquatchery, including the most convincing photographic capture of these creatures (the PG film), was reported to have had a personal sighting, and was reported to have found a nest (in the close proximity of the PG film site), and who later rose in rank to hold a cabinet level position in the Department of the Interior for Fish Wildlife and Parks. This is proof positive of "government knowing" at the nearly highest level.........yet even among the most active of public sasquatch advocacy, few know of this. Why? Because nobody (including, and perhaps mostly Mr. Laverty) wants that to be common knowledge.
Secrets. They're the breakfast cereal of government. It's what they live on. What they feed on. Their stock in trade. Everything they know, they will hide, scramble, or use to manipulate others.
