This just too funny.
Some of us think the government is hiding numbers and making it less than it is.
Others think the government is embellishing the truth and making it sound worse than it is.
And everybody has numbers to back up their theory.
The less group criticizes the more group and the more group lashes back at the less group.
And none of us has a clue.
You cannot accurately realistically perceive the whole truth if you must dismiss vast bodies of pertinent truth to arrive at your conclusion.
The powers that be and authorities at every level often have CONFLICTING, CONTRADICTORY GOALS AND AGENDAS. They ALL will use ANY situation that presents itself to further their individual programs and goals.
All known truths (and their probability of pertinence) must be weighed in the mix of factors affecting any situation.
Facts:
1. There ARE those in power and authority who would and DO minimize, deny, under report and even hide or lie about what they personally "know" of a situation in order to "prevent public panic" and/or "maintain control" by being in exclusive possession of "all the truth".
2. The above people RARELY, IF EVER know, have or understand all the
crucial truths bearing on any particular situation.
3. There are as many others in authority who would EXPLOIT and magnify any problem to further their unique agendas and goals.
4. There ARE many people of SCIENCE, POLITICS, BUSINESS, MEDICINE, GOVERNMENT, and EDUCATION who have extraordinary wealth, and/or power, authority, credentialed With the DESIRE, MOTIVE, MEANS, POWER AND OPPORTUNITY TO DE-POPULATE this planet, as they continually, publicly advocate.
5. There is realistically NO CONTROL or effective oversight of world wide genetic engineering efforts, both relatively AMATEUR and ultra-sophisticated secret multi-nations bio-weapons labs.
6.NOBODY on the planet, including even those actually engaged in creating artificial new forms of viruses, bacteria, plants and animals has any way to know the actual consequences their genetic meddling with the balance of nature might cause.
7. MOST of those engaged in such high tech playing with nature DO NOT HAVE, NOR PRACTICE ADEQUATE MEANS, METHODS AND ABILITY to prevent an unintended, accidental, sometimes overlooked, release of their "creations" upon the world. (which does not even address the implications of a
deliberate release of bio-engineered microbes)
8.
New organisms seldom have many existing, balancing "natural enemies" on this planet to restrain their spread.
9.The OCCURRENCE, significance and impact of
accidentally released organisms by ALL levels of research is generally denied, misrepresented as naturally occuring mutations, and recombinations of existing microbial life by scientific, political and medical authorities so as to not stigmatize any scientific research however irresponsible and deflect public demand to bring increased legal restraints upon such research.
10. Scientists, "experts", even "GENIUSES", in their particular narrow field of knowledge do not necessarily have any more or even as much circumspective awareness as your local grocer, bank teller, farmer or cop AS TO WHAT IMPACT THEIR WORK COULD OR MIGHT
HAVE ON OTHER PEOPLE, BUSINESSES, SOCIETY, GOVERNMENT, HEALTH, FREEDOM AND THE FUTURE WE HAND TO OUR CHILDREN.
11. There ARE many people in this world who are truly EVIL. We generally acknowledge and deal with only those who are NOT rich, powerful, and fully capable and intending on executing terrible (for the rest of us) agendas.
12. ALL EVIL presents and sells itself as serving some intended "good" or positive outcome which will be achieved by doing that evil.
