Government, particularly the Federal Establishment, has vast powers to mislead the people and manage the news. Officials can conceal impending actions until their effects are irreversible.

...quarterback, and if I'm not good enough, that's it. I'm independent, and I have a lot of confidence in myself. I became a quarterback frankly because I liked the idea of everything starting with me. I guess that's why I prefer baseball. It's more of an individual's sport." He is a shortstop, one who has yet to prove he can hit (a .285 batting average last season for Nebraska...
