Feel this is a fantastic point chaka. And a major piece of the picture as regards what I was trying to start discussion on. When there are critical things, of vital importance happening. And someone intentionally excludes telling anyone about it. In my opinion, its not only deception ... its betrayal. On the scale its happening now ... Would feel safe to say, its not only betrayal ( of public trust ). Its criminal ... aka: crime against humanity. Could just be my opinion though.

(edit) Interesting analogy folks ... what do you call someone who knows a heinous crime has been committed. But helps to cover it up, gives aid and comfort to the perpetrators ? And does everything they can. To help said lowlifes escape justice ? Just saying ... something to think about perhaps.


Also: " Thats Horrible. But how do you know this?"

Because I always ask questions poster. And prefer to think for myself etc. I agree, it is horrible and wrong on so many levels. When I really stop and think about it ... makes me wanna puke.
