It says a great deal about their lack of character and intestinal fortitude.
It also states volumes about how condescending and weak they believe we are. They fear telling the population the truth. They believe you and I can't handle the true ugliness of what needs to and should be done.
They value their own comfort and security ( of power ) so much that they try to keep us oblivious to the real world.
We may all go to the slaughter house but the majority will go fat dumb and happy because they have been coddled and spoiled by our so called leaders. ( although many are gooing willingly )
