Would they tell us if they knew space ships have visited
Are we likely to be told if knowing may change the world
History is full of question about what governments knew and what we are told

Belly, these things called govt, which I prefer to call them something more like what they are, NEVER tell us, the people the truth.
If we could ever extract the truth from them, through 'other' means, we would find that they believe that by not telling us the truth, is for the 'greater good', or to our benefit.
Now I can see what they mean when I look around me.
Too many people are too immature and out of touch with what is really going on around them, to entrust them to process information which calls for an extreme level of understanding and maturity.
Two things sadly lacking in people today, and there are plenty more.
Now because pollies know that people are such a mixed bag, and cannot agree on what is in front of them let alone what they can't see or touch, they create stories that are based on the message they wish to convey, when in actuality, they have no intention of fulfilling that which they have just explained.
It's called;
Political Correctness.
The main purpose of anyone going into politics is to 'feather their own nest'.
Even if someone was naive or innocent or well meaning enough to win a seat, it would not be long before they were either 'turned' to the 'dark side' or they would just sit back and wait it out, and get no-where, or resign, as the corruption would be to much to bare for an honest and good person.
This is the way it is, because if you do not succumb to the 'dark side' you will not be trusted by the others who are well entrenched, and so you will just be another useless, well intentioned polly that just goes along for the ride.
I for one have always been skeptical of govts, to the point where I don't believe anything they say, like Climate Change, to be as serious or relevant as they make out.
I am reminded of the boy who cried 'WOLF'.

I do not think governments tell us every thing, I think they dare not
Say in the matter of travelers from outer space, if the knew they existed think about the implications of telling us they do
What God, if any would be theirs
How would the world, over night, handle a new God? or none at all
Are we humans able to handle the truth, maybe not
Questions from history, did America know the Japanese would bomb Peal Harbor
Did America need it to bring its then isolationist people in to the war
Many questions are possible, but just maybe we are not always told the truth

Dear Belly,

Of course governments don't tell us every thing.
The security of the country, often doesn't all it.
To prevent panic and maintain good relations with allies
and neighbours also influences how much we need to be
told. Then there's also during election times - party's
will protect their interests.

Yes true Foxy never doubted it
But just how much are we to blame for that?
Humans seem more and more to fight and complain about every thing
Just maybe we could not handle the truth
We get the politicians we deserve, we make statements about them all being the same, then reward the very same people by reelecting them

Well we are not going to run with it but the question remains
How much are we told, what is hidden from us
My view is a great deal, and do not blame one side of politics
Both sides and even world wide, hide secretes from us
Leave it there and try to pick a more interesting subject next time
