If
you told somebody 10 years ago that there existed some sort of secret
group or “secret government” pulling the strings behind the
scenes of government policy, international law, various global
rules/regulations, and more, they would have called you a “conspiracy
theorist.” Today things have changed, largely as a result of information
leaked by Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and various other
whistleblowers and activists in recent years.
All of this exists in what’s become
known as the “black budget world” — a world so secretive that its
operations, known as Special Access Programs, or Unacknowledged Special
Access, remain hidden from Congress and are exempt from reporting to
Congress. You can read more about the black budget in an article we
published on the subject here.
The National Security Agency (NSA) was
founded in 1952, but its existence was hidden until the mid 1960s. Even
more secretive is the National Reconnaissance Office, which was founded
in 1960 but remained completely secret for 30 years. The United States
was built on secrecy. According to John F. Kennedy:
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match. (source)
Is this the world where the “Men In Black” (MIB) come from? Multiple presidents and politicians have
alluded to the existence of a “secret government.” For example, the
26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, stated that
“behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government
owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”
The 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, stated that
“some of the biggest men in the United States” are “afraid of
something,” of a “power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful,
so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak
above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
