(55,981 posts)There are those that blindly claim there in no evidence that there is a secret government (if you look closely they have their eyes closed, and finger in their ears as the recite over and over, "there is no secret government."
But we need to look at it from a different angle. If we agree that power is the ultimate objective of the wealthy elite, then if follows that some of them would use the billions the government gives for protection from the "boogyman" and their positions in government free from oversight to amass power. To me that's like entropy. For it not to happen, we would have to place solid restrictions and people we can trust in positions to police them. We have not done that, therefore I believe there is a cabal of powerful people that have control of our government. And I say to those are whimpering from their naive, denial reality bubbles, "Show me evidence that we dont have a shadow government."
