Theory; What if Area 51 was not a government owned testing facility, rather a corporation owned by certain government officials and Elites worked by contractors, as in whoever wins the contract (Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, McDonnell Douglas etc...) Then the Government can deny the area is a secret government testing area or military airbase cause they are not lying, so it is all private like other contractors like Xe or should I say Blackwater etc... if it is not owned by the government but the government invests in the technology to secure American dominance and the corporation gain control and dreams of globalization, Area 51 could be like an Embassy for a country and then have the immunity they desire all private and within the law, so they haven't been lying to you, they are just good, so I take my hat of for them, plus what ever is developed on that piece of ground will benefit us all, the technology is fantastic, Nano technology etc... will always be at the forefront of military technology and will be in the commercial hands years later, many of the daily applicants that you may be using or dress with today have most likely been used or developed for military use first before it reached the commercial end, so why complain? we need conflict and a bit of war to pay and test all this technologies and it helps to keep overpopulation down, only the gifted will survive :) maybe not the fittest ;) and living in Peace is not in the human nature, People are stupid or the word stupid would not exist, we cant help it lunatics and madmen are just born not always created.
