    Even the best Governments need to keep secrets.

    Our current Western Governments are NOT the best.

    No!

    Research newspaper archives concerning military aviation disasters in the Pacific in and about the South China Sea between 1958-1962. Then, compare these news accounts to the official USA records for aviation disasters. Next, do the same for Civilian flights in the area. Note the lack of flight numbers... due to military charter of military families. Did I hear "sabotage"?

    I have uncovered a number of air disasters in newpapers that are NOT in military records.

    No point in having a secret service if you don't keep secrets. There is spin and there are lies and there are a lot of other stuff but no where near as bad as the conspiracy loons will have you believe.

    So, what concerns you that they are not telling us?

  • 8 years ago

    Yes, everything we need to know. However, it was too brief and many conspiracy can get in.

    James 3

    13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew by good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom.

    14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not, neither be liars against the truth.

    15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish.

    16 For where envying and strife is, there is sedition, and all manner of evil works.

    17 But the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without hypocrisy.

    18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, of them that make peace.

    No I don't - I believe they tell us what we 'need to know' .

    .. And they have experts working in there that put a lot of words and sentences together to make it sound and look like they are telling us more and more of what they think we want to hear.

    .....I don't think i'll ever understand politics!

    Some people probably do believe that the government tells us everything, but many of us know better. What they do tell us can generally be taken with a grain of salt, too.

    Obama is a liar
