Eschew Obfuscation, Espouse Elucidation 

An ironic statement that means avoid ambiguity and adopt clarity. It's ironic because it is hypocritical.

Instead of saying eschew obfuscation, espouse elucidation, Mary just told us to avoid confusion and be clear.

The state of governance that arises when bureaucracy and obfuscation become the acceptable, operational norm.

Our current government, with the media's collusion, has created such an obfustocracy that neither the Oracle at Delphi, nor Nostradamus himself could discern what they really mean.

obfuscram 

Verb: To obfuscate your own personal information immediately prior to leaving a social web site.

I quit Facebook when I signed up for Google+, but since Facebook won't actually delete my account, I obfuscrammed it by deleting all my friends, then I "liked" a bunch of religious pages, disconnected my mobile link, removed all my pictures, personal information and notes and things, posted a bunch of nude pictures of Kasia, changed my profile name to Kasia, then posted my password everywhere I could think of.

They deleted my account for me.
