"This always behind closed doors thing does not always set well with me!" Some may habitually call it "National Security", others an attempt to hide certain damning facts that could expose government complicity, apathy or incompetence!? "Maybe, it's a little bit of both!?"
Before long, government may build an "Iron Curtain" around itself, and all that will ever be aired, truth or lie, is what they wish to be divulged! "That which polishes the apple, even if that apple is sometimes poisoned!?
Security "MUST" be maintained, but beware of any atrocities or transgression that suddenly appears under this all-encompassing heading of security - they could kill you!?
When the word security becomes more of a self-protecting excuse, than actual fact or necessity, the essence of the word has been spun, rung-out, and whitewashed!
"Security is a great and essential thing, but when any politico seizes it up, just to protect their own agenda or tush, 'tis the people themselves who usually take it up the tush!!" (opinion)
