Any kind of democracy is incompatible with a system where intelligence agencies have absolute authority to hide information.
It used to be that Democracy meant that you could read any official document to make sure your government wasn't acting out. Intelligence agencies were a compromise on that, with the idea that at least if there was a disaster someone would speak out. Now even that is under threat?
The only long term vision that is compatible with this is the decline of democracy, liberal or not.
