If they can no longer be kept secret, then it matters to either delay them from becoming public - including decreasing action/time to complete times - and to obfuscate as much as possible, i.e. you may get signals that an action takes place, but other signals may say they are not. Which is entirely possible, i.e. you can use AI to create video signals that look perfect soon, and cannot be detected to have been manipulated with as easily as before. In short, there will always be a way to keep something secret, but it will require to change the nature of perception and truth, which is THEIR whole game. :) Where necessity demands, solution follows.
