Many people believe the United States Government have been hiding stuff that happened in Area 51 and the Roswell crash. Same with the truth of 9/11
The government seems to cover many things up, what do you believe?
Are there aliens in our existence, have the visited us?
Is there a huge top secret project being built by someone?

Aliens? You mean strange beings from other planets?

I see one now.

My friend tells me a lot of stuff about the Government, I don't believe it all, but it makes sense.

Just yesterday he told me that a government official brought in a tape recorder to the meeting and you could hear Donald Rumsfeld saying "We need to make a second 9/11".

My friend said that if that were to happen, Martial Law might go into effect, and some other things.

Now I'm not saying it's true, and I'm not saying I believe the government conspiracy theories, but there are things that you have to question. Don't believe everything you're told, find out information from all points of view to form your own opinion.

Truth is, you really cant 100% believe high authority unless you have solid proof.

While there are some things that the government is obviously hiding from us (JFK Assassination), I'm not big on huge conspiracy theories. For one, people in this country just cannot keep secrets - the Nixon administration figured this one out the hard way. Then look deeper; look into the Roswell Crash: the army was desperate for money at the time, and if they found a crashed alien aircraft, then they would have been bathing in cash. These kind of conspiracy theories don't pop up when people look at the evidence logically and come up with the most probable explanation that happens to contradict the government's story; they come up when people go around looking for excuses to say that the government is lying to them, or for excuses to believe in alien species that are playing god with us.

I generally don't believe in conspiracy theories, which is the beef that I have with Michael Moore. The man's documentary's would be brilliant if he didn't try to fill every American with these ideas of conspiracies.

As FM said, the US govenment undeniabley keeps secrest -- obviously. Sitting abround your house all day trying to figure out those secrets and getting more paranoid by the second is completely unhealthy. This is why I do no condone conspiracy theories.
