It's plentiful and it's not custom 'made' to scare us.

Not that some of it isn't scary, but much of it actually puts us somewhat at ease.

We are not going to have to wait years to hear the truth (or what's left of the truth).

What a difference a Change in administration makes.

1. Its my experience that government leaks info to distract from other things
Lets see, while the MSM goes Aruba on a joke of a bomb in Times Square what else are they not covering?

The financial meltdown of the EU, the rising influence of the IMF in forcing Greece into austerity programs, financial "reforms" here in the US (which wont solve anything), people's 401K's once again losing money as the stock markets have been falling.......

I guess there really isnt anything more important going on after all.

3. Seriously? All Governments Lie to their People ... I'd believe just about
anything but not 100% from government or M$M sources. Not ever - always skeptical until I can acquire independent verification from a reputable foreign news source.

6. Skepticism is not the same thing as cynicism.
You strike me as more of a cynic than a skeptic.

Only a fool would believe 100% of the things we're told by the government and the media. Reversely, only a fool would Disbelieve 100% of everything we're told. I'm in neither camp.

Sure, we're told what they want us to hear, but that doesn't mean that it's 100% bullshit. If you want to live your life believing that everybody lies all the time, be my guest.

5. Or he could be highly
incompetent? We shall see.

I was wondering if ..in his mindset the foreclosure of his house had anything to do with his insane act? I could be way off base, of course.

He was trying to get away and would have succeeded if not for some excellent technological police work.
