Guys, take a break and read some Solzhenitsyn. Reflect on the fact that the Soviet Union altogether did not want him to publish his historical accounts of the GULag. And that he framed his struggle as being against "the Lie." His credo was: "One word of truth shall outweigh the world."
I would go further to say that the closer we are to truth, the closer we are to God, for God entails every true thing. Do we bear witness to the truth of God because we are asked...or because we are impelled by its knowledge? Oaths of silence are subject to the rule that silence about evil acts is complicity in them.
