TAX AND SPEND:

Here's an example of how scientists team up with government to loot us:

"The scientific community has shifted its earlier view of Mars dramatically. Instead of stories about the cold desert planet, the popular press now prints headlines such as: “Flood Carves Instant Grand Canyon.” The situation is ripe for seeing only what is already believed. This bias shows in the language when channels are identified unequivocally as fluvial (carved by flowing water) and of late Noachian age (between 3.5 and 3.7 billion years old), the very name invoking images of a universal flood."

The people won't tolerate looting for probes to a lifeless, frigid desert planet, so they pretend Mars is something different.

I just opened a can of worms with a search about when our ancestors almost went extinct. 70,000 years ago. 150,000 years ago. 1.2 million years ago. Apparently life was tough for our ancestors.
