Why does the government hide thingsd from the public like Area 51.?

Question

That's stupid. I hate that.

Answer 1

It's like the white elephant in the room...you want to know it, you want to see it, but you know, deep down, you really shouldn't. This is such a case. A "person" can handle knowing these things..."people" cannot. A person is smart, clear thinking, but a group, is dangerous, and most importantly, influenced. Now personally, I think Area 51 should be OK...if their's really aliens...who cares...let us check it out...they don't hide new species of animals here on Earth do they? Of course not...

But other things like already said before, how we make our money, how we track terrorists, and things that "people" should not know, these need to be left to those we trust, and elect. But again, we ALL want to know the truths...about EVERYTHING...but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Answer 2

Not that I'm saying area 51 exists, but the government must keep some secrets. We elect politicians to run the country for us.

Now, I'm not saying that we should be left in the dark, but total disclosure is foolish.

When the MSM released information last year about how we were shutting down different avenues for terrorist money to flow, we, the People didn't need to know that. Because of stunts like this, our enemies can change tactics and continue hurting us.

Answer 3

The aliens might be telling them not to as it would cause an influx of questions. However in the near future I think aliens will be introduced as it is obvious there was a major cover-up re Area 51.

It would be to their advantage to say they cannot disclose the info to the public rather than promoting outright obvious cover-ups. Where is the intelligence?

Answer 4

Because their afraid of world wide panic, look at the "War of the Worlds" people were actually jumping out of their windows, people have a tendency to panic. Besides the government wouldn't admit anything anyway, they wouldn't want our enemy's to know any of our secrets, if we had knowledge from something that came from space at area 51 do you think that they would tell the world that, I don't think so, they would pretend they didn't know what people are talking about, their not about to admit anything, If we're learning something from something that landed they aren't about to share it with our enemy's.

Answer 5

Many protection rigidity events are good-secret, so it is not stunning that workers at a protection rigidity base could be prohibited from speaking approximately their artwork. the main ordinarily-properly-known theory i've got heard approximately section fifty one is they use it for sorting out stealth planes and different protection rigidity airplane, which the protection rigidity has to maintain secret in the event that they do no longer choose u.s.'s enemies to repeat the technologies. the government hides many stuff from us. it is not consistently sinister--that's in simple terms that in the event that they advised individuals their secrets and methods, then they could have no way of combating your enemies from getting those secrets and methods and using them against you.

Answer 6

Because most of the public have big mouths and revealing our own cutting-edge military secrets to everyone else in the world, including our enemies, doesn't make very good sense.

Answer 7

Because some things are National Secrets and should remain so. Military technology, the formula for the ink used to print currency, etc.

Answer 8

Gee....what if you are a foreign operative? When you have the need to know, you will be given the clearance. Our secrets are to our advantage.

Answer 9

Some things are military secrets and we don't want the Iranians or Red Chinese to know.

Answer 10

some things should be keped way some things like the news
