It scares the hell out of me to think there is a possibility that there is NO major government cover ups or conspiracies. I am deeply comforted by the idea of a shadowy oligarchy of elder men in suits who control an army of faceless SWAT teams that enforce every aspect of American society and guide us, wordlessly, to a safer existence.
Primarily in the form of politics. Because if American politics are 100% real... Wow, we're really really fucked. I desperately hope it's all a show to calm everyone down and give the illusion of security, because most of the people who are able to vote, shouldn't be allowed to. They're uninformed and pig-headed. They generally lack concerns for REAL issues and instead opt to listen to distraction issues like flag burning.
Not to mention if there is a shadowy organization, bigger than the CIA or FBI, then they are working to be that many steps ahead of our enemies, which are a-plenty at the moment.
