The citizens are lied to, misinformed, or kept In the dark.

On the subject of trusting them by having an informed citizenry, they hav absolutely lost that trust. The citizens are lied to, misinformed, or kept In the dark. It is being discovered that many conspiracies are in fact not theories but are true. The news media is part of the coverup. The problem is that with all the deceptions and coverup going on, it is nearly impossible for the public to be informed. When we wake up to the fact that the powerful military industrial complex does not have our best interest at heart, nor do they respect the Constitution, it is alarming. We are sitting ducks with respect to their power.. As such, our freedoms and our rights are being trampled on by those we are supposed to trust. The enemy is within. I say the benefits no longer out weigh tr risks. It is time to fire them.
