Government Secrecy? What if they aren't being secretive for defense purposes, but for control?

Question

What if they are using their secrecy to plan to enslave the population, take over the world, exterminate a large percent of the population, or some other criminal scheme?

I am not convinced the government really is in the business of protecting us, especially since they benefit from terrorist attacks - they are allowed more power, more funds, and the public will more willingly give up their civil liberties.

Answer 2

"what if" ............ they likely are not on our side ?

The elites historically have always screwed us - the peasant uprisings have happened because the "state" has oppressed the population for thousands of years

But through the use of propaganda and technology these uprisings are few and far inbetween

Technology now exists to scan electromagnetic signatures and determine the chemical make up of somthing

HAARP is able to cause the ioneshphere to resonate in harmony with the signal output

The human brain operates between 850 and 920 Mega hertz which is about the same as the average cel phone - the brain itself sends off a signature wave that acts like a fingerprint -

The TV has the ability to place youngsters into trances and make adults feel docile

------------- Nuclear weapons are 60 yrs old and yet we still accept them as if they are the cutting edge of weaponry - that in itself has been an incredible accomplishment of government secrecy

What if --- now begins to turn into when ---- a matter of time before someone decides on a misuse here or there which leads down the path to what was warned about by Aldous Huxly and Orwel

Funny how proletarian litrature has been replaced with other forms of entertainment - Funny how movies seldom concentrate on the above themes prefering instead big b***s and slap stick humor designed to stimulate the reptilian sections of the brain

And please remember the reptilian section of a humans brain can and often does overide the entire thinking portions  

Answer 3

They protect us to an extent but they kill us even more. The government is corrupt, trust nothing that comes out of their mouths.

Answer 4

While a government might benefit, the fact is that government is made up of people, and most of those in power are transient to the system, not permanent fixtures.

That's where the conspiracy theories fall apart for me. The motive.

The same pointless belief that conspiracy theorists have expounded for centuries is no more serious than:

Pinky: Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?

The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world

Answer 5

What if you stop using LSD before posting here?

Answer 6

It really doesn't make a difference to be perfectly honest. Even if,  not that I believe that but just for the sake of argument, this or the next administration have perfectly noble intentions for reducing civil liberties and embracing the logic of a police state the result is still a police state which can and will be abused by less noble leaders now or in the future.

The reason civil liberties exist is to guarantee citizens rights and well being can't be dismissed at will by a government no matter how corrupt it is.

Answer 7

they may be doing all this just to irk u

Answer 8

Because Big Business now owns our economy and our Politicians by way of campaign contributions and other bribery once they leave office. In one way we are already being enslaved by falling wages and the relocation of many of our jobs overseas while the wealthy post record profits while paying very few taxes. It doesn't hurt to have a large military machine, for which there was little need after the fall of Russia, on their side either. Only time will tell how far they may get- most of this involves the collusion of a well to do upper middle class.
