RE: Government Run Weather Modification Programs: Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
There is so much classified stuff out there. Weapons programs, space programs etc.. and whether these are legal or illegal ops we as the public aren't informed and in the case illegal ones can never find out because our institutions and politicians can't even get their hands on the data. It makes a mockery of what democracy is supposed to be.
I think this sums it up perfectly...
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it.
