Limited Hangout
NOTE: Yasha Levine, author of Surveillance Valley - The Rise of the Military-Digital Complex, worked for mainstream media propaganda outlets (see Operation Mockingbird). Thus you know that his book is simply “controlled opposition” and “gate keeping” and isn't really revealing much and is likely doing lots of misdirection and limited hangouts.

A limited hangout is a form of phoenie deception, or spycraft jargon, originally used by the CIA during the false flag Watergate scandal to describe a process where a deliberate disclosure of some limited information is made to prevent discovery of other pertinent and actual details. The propaganda term suggests a controlled release of information (the “hangout”) that is only partial or limited, to mislead, misdirect, divert attention, distract or to protect more significant, undisclosed information. The strategy involves admitting to some minor wrongdoing while hiding more serious law breaking and evil machinations.
It's difficult to attribute the term to a single inventor or creator, as it emerged from the practices of intelligence community and governmental operations.
Its etymology comes directly from American English, with its first recognized use in the public sphere dating back to the early 1970s, specifically around the time of 1973 when it was used to describe Richard Nixon’s strategy to mitigate the damage of the false flag Watergate scandal. This term has since become widespread in discussions about politics, espionage, and information warfare, indicating the nuanced ways organizations and governments manage sensitive information.

**Limited Hangout** refers to a strategy in which a person or organization reveals a partial or controlled amount of information about a scandal, secret, or wrongdoing. This tactic is used to manage damage control by disclosing some facts while concealing more critical or compromising details, thereby controlling the narrative and minimizing potential fallout.
Etymology
The term “limited hangout” combines “limited,” meaning restricted or partial, and “hangout,” which in this context is derived from “hang out,” meaning to reveal or disclose. The phrase metaphorically describes the selective release of information, where only a limited portion of the truth is exposed.
