During Clinton's term, we had people on FR who swore the UN was building camps to warehouse people after Clinton declared "marshall" law because of Y2K and arrested all the gun-owners/Christians/conservatives in the country. Black Helicopters were circling their houses, watching them because they criticized the government.
Read some of the Murrow building stuff.
I believe we don't always get the whole truth from government but it's not because they want to imprison or kill us all. The real reasons are much more mundane.
One would be to cover up incompetence. Another is for national security reasons and a third would be to prevent exposure of ongoing investigations.
Well, at least imagination is still alive and kicking. I agree with Post #45 cripplecreek, I really do not believe we get the whole truth all the time, but for the reasons stated in #45. The problem with these folks is they have no coherent arguments. Just ramblings that don't manage to cover all aspects of the day in question.
