Yes there is a lot of bogus info, much of it from our own government who has plenty at stake to prevent such advancements from moving forward. Have you ever researched how JP Morgan squashed Nicoli Tesla?
Yet, it is precisely why we have govt. To preserve the greater institutional, above top secret understanding of this Nation's enlightened self interest, we have elected Stewards of the Ship of State. But, the govt, are just folks, most are hired, even appointed, have lives, families, watch TV, etc. We are the govt., remember? Whatever your opinion about how we got here or where we are, it's us. Only us. No one is really running the show. It's a loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires, oligopoly vs new money. Our Govt manages somehow, to reduce the vendetta, to not perhaps completely bloodless, but very behind the scenes. And it manages to maintain some world peace. Britannia before us, Rome before that. As much as I can tell, that is as far back as world peace goes. Before the Pax Romana, Warlord/Vassal regions, Sparta, for example, after Rome more Warlords.
If we the People don't have other People trained in the hard jobs of National Interest, we will soon have no Nation. We would have Warlords. If there is something that can upset the balance, it doesn't matter what it is. The job is to decide to not reveal it. It is simple, Everything, including Liberty leads to Tyranny. Peace in this world is the only thing that matters now. The weapons are just too vicious.
To me, it is exactly a model of the books 1884 and Brave New World, now add the Matrix. Yipes, I mean it has already happened. The facts are stranger than fiction.
