That's just a polite way of saying, "I choose not to believe this is happening because I might feel implicated." Is it not better to accept that it is happening, we are all implicated, and we had all better do something about it?

Repression, human rights violations, cyanide spills. Very serious. What independent third party sources do you have to verify these allegations? I suggest links to verifiable science and documents by parties with no investment in the issue would really bolster your claims. Good luck to you. These are really serious allegations.
