I was recently talking to a former FBI agent and he and I were having a lighthearted debate over a couple of beers, when he explained to me that the “public didn’t need to know everything”.
Last year I had a discussion with a retired military officer and he said the same thing, “The public doesn’t need to know everything.”
We at Against Crony Capitalism believe that government clearances and “top secret” designations are far too often used to hide mistakes, waste the taxpayer’s money, hide crony capitalism, to do all manner of things we don’t want our government doing.
At the same time we also understand why some things should be kept secret, ICBM codes for instance, that seems pretty reasonable.
But you know what is not reasonable? When there is an army of drones flying over New Jersey (and earlier over bases in Virginia) and the feds won’t tell us what they are (if the feds know) or what the feds are doing (if anything) about the situation. When drones are flying over neighborhoods and even shutting down airports, it would be good to have at least an idea of what the folks in Washington are thinking.
We figure it’s our own government flying these things. That’s the most logical explanation. The military is probably deploying the drones, perhaps in response to a threat that the government doesn’t want to tell the public about.
John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC, makes the case that these drones might be “nuclear sniffers”. He also says that he spoke to a person who recently physically had put his hands on a “lost” nuclear warhead who supposedly was trying to get people in government to pay attention, but to no avail. Watch the video, Ferguson comes off as reasoned and informed, a man who appears to know what he’s talking about.
