GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY EXPOSED:
THERE ISN'T ONE

The media would have you believe that the government is out to get you. Anti-government protesters and oddball splinter groups, who by the way wouldn't be allowed to exist if it wasn't for the government they hate so much, are trying to spread paranoia that evil people are running things. Somehow, these evil people have nothing better to do than watch you from black helicopters and monitor your brain waves.

Sorry, I ain't buyin' it

Why the skepticism? Has my mind been controlled by the broadcasts from Hangar 54 that want to assure me everything is all right? No, I just stopped listening to the ranting and raving that the media has been heralding. These are the same people who still think what they read is true if they saw it on the Internet. I am starting to get sick of this media-spawned paranoia about our own government. Every time I turn on the boob tube these days, I hear something about corruption this, or mistake that. Listen, I am not saying that the government is perfect, far from it. But it's one thing to be an incompetent bureaucracy rather than a malicious force of doom. Here are some shocking secrets that the media doesn't want you to figure out:

The Government is not hiding alien contact

They simply are not capable of a cover-up that big for that long. Heck, they couldn't even keep the Iran-Contra thing under wraps for more than 10 years. Hanger 54 stores used atomic equipment from old bomb tests. Also, all the speculation and alleged cover up is not that they are admitting guilt, no, they just know how to play the media game. Think of it this way, the military doesn't like the fact that they don't know what's in the sky. So they named flying objects that they can't indentify "UFOs", which stands for "UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS". Under this rule, I could take anything, perhaps a pork chop, and toss it in the air. If my friend Neal, not knowing what I threw, is asked "What is that?" and he doesn't know, he has seen a UFO. UFO does NOT mean extra-terrestrial aircraft! Sure, one could be a UFO, but UFO does not mean it's some Interstellar Winnebago. The military did not want to admit they didn't know what it was, because they didn't want the enemy to know that. Why? Suppose you are the enemy, and you send a spy craft of some sort in the desert to spy on one of the copious military targets out that way. You'd love to know you succeeded in baffling the other guys! The military doesn't want you to know that, because that would be giving information to the enemy.

Now, what about getting "No comment" on all those reporter questions? Easy. Suppose you wanted to totally fog information that got to the enemy. Give them the same response every time. The information becomes meaningless. Look at this interview:

Reporter: Are you doing any troop maneuvers in Jornada del Muerte?
Official: No.
Reporter: Did a plane crash in that area?
Official: No.
Reporter: Did you see anything on your radar?
Official: No.
Reporter: Do you know why anyone saw lights and an explosion in that area?
Official: No comment.
Well, DUH! If the enemy saw that, they'd go "Yes! We fooled them, our research is going in the right direction!" But this is what the clever officials would say:
Reporter: Are you doing any troop maneuvers in Jornada del Muerte?
Official: No comment.
Reporter: Did a plane crash in that area?
Official: No comment.
Reporter: Do you know why anyone saw lights and an explosion in that area?
Official: No comment.
Reporter: Are you hiding evidence of an alien spacecraft?
Official: No comment.
Reporter: Is it true that you are secretly plotting with alien spacebeings from Vegan 7?
Official: No comment.
Reporter: Does your underwear have polka-dots?
Official: No comment.
Man, you won't know the status of ANYTHING with that kind of response. You have no leads, no pointers, and that official is doing his darndest to make it stay that way, even if asked a totally ludicrous question. He doesn't care. No comment. But stupid people think, AHA! No comment means, "I am hiding something!" Yes it does, but that's not the same as admitting guilt! He's from the military, he's supposed to keep things secret! Otherwise, all kinds of radicals would have access to information on building nuclear devices and the North African Plain would be a radiation zone from all the bombings. And even with the best secrets, the Rosenbergs still managed to smuggle secrets to the Russians.

The Government is not incompetent on purpose

You get any HUGE group of people running any one thing, and I guarantee it will screw things up. This happens every day in corporate environments. It screws up more by accident than evil plot. I see the government as a huge rogue elephant trying to put together a tiny model plane. It is bloated, and oversized, and I bet you could fire 50% of all Federal Workers, and not make a dent in their output or problems (and if anyone so much as dared to actually try such a thing, there is a HUGE Federal worker Union and Lobby organization that would life very miserable). Ask IBM.

It's like the chaos theory. Enough random variables (in this case, individual people with their own goals, dreams, fears, and other personality quirks) and you cannot navigate a straight path anywhere. All it takes are a few personality conflicts, paranoia, incompetence, and other oddball factors to mess up even the most simplest of tasks. I really doubt there is anyone who says, "Today, I will screw something up..." as part of their daily plan. Well, not many, anyway.

People are putting too much power into the Government

Because of reasons I have already mentioned above, the government has too much to do anyway without regulating more things that they can't even enforce now. If people simply could regulate their own local laws, and realize the occasional exception, the courts wouldn't be bogged down with all the small nickel and dime cuts that bleed time away from the REAL issues.

There are thousands upon thousands of laws that would never be needed if people just showed the slightest sense of respect, humility, and tolerance towards their neighbors. Millions of cases are tried yearly because no one even trying to communicate or attempt to understand that mistakes are made, and that some things you just chalk up to a learning experience and go on with your life. This nation is sue-happy, and all kinds of laws, sub-laws, and laws governing laws and sub-laws are becoming hopelessly entangled in a massive web of confusion.

And whose fault is this? We are! The government is our SERVANT, that like most servants, you have to tell them what to do. It seems that the government has become its own entity in a sea of ignorance, surviving with only a scrap of knowledge of why it was created in the first place. It's up to us, with our voices to say, "This is what we can do, and this is what we need you to do!" Simply expecting your government to teach morals and values is as stupid as expecting a stone wall to lecture you on the history of masonry.

People make mistakes

Sorry, even big people. Yes, Waco and Ruby Ridge were tragedies in their own right, but how many operations to the FBI and CIA do right that we hear about? Not much. Doesn't make good news AND the FBI and CIA don't share much knowledge to begin with. The space shuttle blew up once, killing seven astronauts, but should we shut down the space program for one accident? I say we learn from it, and move on.

The government is run by humans, so it is bound to make human errors. Instead of trying to tear down the government, we should be trying to shape it to be more efficient by learning from past mistakes.

Make your voice heard

And lastly, people have no right to complain because MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN VOTE! Man, if everyone says, "I am going out for some fast food, do you have any requests?" and you say nothing, don't complain if the guy comes back and didn't bring onion rings. The excuse "All the leaders suck, I don't like any of them!" is sooo lame. Man, how do you think they got that way? No one did any selective voting! Vote for the person you hate the least, and work your way from there. Eventually, like a pedigree breeder, you will start selecting out the traits you don't like, and get better and better people to vote for.

In conclusion...

The end of all this ranting is that the Government is not EVIL, just inefficient and slow. But on the plus side, if any radical person got in there, even a high-level position, it dilutes anything damaging he or she might do. It is up to us to fix it, and help make this country better by doing more than complaining, but actually doing.
