There is allot of what seems like "cover ups" from our government.

It does not matter.  We will never know what really happened.  Just like the Kennedy assassinations, Marilyn Monroe's death, aliens etc...  All of this is out of the common persons control.

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

Maybe if the government didn't waste all our tax money on evil terrorist cover-ups, there'd be more welfare available for you...

Mr rockandroll58 and others, just read on and read the investigation yourself:\n\n45 tons of 9/11 contributions and supplies were stolen, and 2 whistle-blowers lost their jobs\nfor reporting this to the FBI, which deliberately ignored the allegations.  Apparently, FBI\npersonnel were involved in the theft and coverup.  And incredibly, some of these\nartifacts ended up with "16 government employees, including a top FBI executive and\nDefense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld."\n\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-06-16-sept11-thefts_x.htm\n----\n\nWell Rumsfeld can get away with it for the same reasons the whole cabal is ripping this country off: there's no one to enforce the law - it is that corrupt on a widescale.  And these people truly believe they are above the law.

The government is (or was) established to protect the rights of the people, not to protect the people. Government is not a scam, even though most of it is a joke. I believe that our country could use a better government, not just locally, but nationally. We as a Nation and a state deserve a better government than we currently have. The government is trying to protect our rights, but we also have private domain (this includes areas of individual life that are of no business to the govt.) We have many freedoms, they just want to protect those rights.

The guy above seems to have pretty much covered it.

They were all carried-out by our government.

This is another example of what is wrong with our government as well as our voters. Here you have an elected official who does not even know that there are laws against higher illegal aliens, as well as laws against stealing social security numbers.

Governments have always lied to the people.  In the worst cases, it's malicious -- a bid for power, money, whatever -- but in the case of the U.S. I sincerely believe that many of the lies have a more mundane purpose: communication.  Korlach Kyle is right -- you keep the people ignorant and they won't rise up.  The thing is, that the lies are not the cause of the ignorance but the effect.  Few of us have the time to deeply understand the issues.  I don't.  So the power brokers, whose job it is to understand the issues, simplify for us.  In the act of simplification, history is written and something between half-truths and lies are told.  We're fortunate in this country that the truth is largely discoverable if we're willing to search for it and demand it.  This last fact is relative.  Freedom of information changes.  Recently, we've elected to sacrifice some of our freedom, and some of our information, for security, but balancing this is the huge increase in the disemmination of info via the internet.  Dissemination, of course, is not the same as availability.  It would be a shame if we agreed to continue in this direction -- curtailing more freedoms for security -- out of fear.  We are a fearful people -- afraid of germs, afraid of fanatics, afraid of arguments, afraid of thinking too hard -- but we're also a fiercely proud people.  Already our representatives on both sides of the aisle are beginning to insist on our freedoms back as the ant farm gets its peace back.

This is par for the course. The government is made up of human beings (therefore flawed) who are in it for themselves and I don't think many of them do their jobs. I do find it difficult to believe that any fraud, especially at this level, can be perpetrated without inside help.  I know I'm not counted in the unemployment figures. I think most figures relating to disadvantaged Americans are greatly underestimated.  You could probably triple most numbers in that regard.

You can't believe what government tells you.

What kind of "church cover-ups" are you talking about? Other than talking to people in each and every church in the community or country, good luck.

The goverment has concealed things from the public since it's formation. Cover stories and diversion stories are created daily. With today's instant communications technology, it's not as easy. And it's not always with evil intent. For example, when the 911 incident occurred, the idea was that the least truthful information released to the public the better, so as not to create panic over possible future or more attacks that law enforcement had no advance knowledge of where it would occur, even though they told us it highly probable it would. The theory is tell the public the least information possible with plausible deniability. If that isn't possible, and real information for the safety of the public is available, release it according to its weight against negative panic and fear that it may cause. The least the better is rule of thumb in goverment.

LOL!!! Thank you, I almost fell out my chair I laughed so hard. Whew, that is great! The U.S. government caused the 9/11 attacks, LOL!! You have got to be kidding me. There is no way anyone could honestly believe that the government could possibly be that cruel. Hell, I thought all the Bush haters thought he was an idiot. Sounds to me like you would have to a genius to set up a mass cover up like that. How can the guy go from an "ignorant cowboy" to a maniacal criminal mastermind? I guess next people are really going to start believing that we never went to the moon, or that LBJ had Kennedy shot. LOL, thank you, thank you very much!
