5 SECRETS The Government DOESN'T Want You To Know! Description: Wacky theories are more prevalent in American culture than ever before. Whether it's Vladimir Putin hacking voting machines, or the first Moon landing being faked, breathless and sketchy journalists spread tales of conspiracy far and wide. But 100% real secrets don't get as much attention as cartoony stories...and that's on purpose. The U.S. government works to create an environment where certain questions just don't get asked. Here are 5 weird and scandalous secrets that D.C. keeps on the down-low. Let's begin! #5 - Your Money Isn't Real Thomas Jefferson insisted on a Federal death penalty when the Constitution was written. But it wasn't for serial killers or even traitors. Instead, Tommy wanted the scalp of anyone who tried to form a central bank, and print a currency not backed by valuables. The threat worked until a century ago, when President Wilson founded the Federal Reserve Bank, with which the government could go into debt printing its own money. Decades later, President Nixon took America off the gold standard, giving the bank power to print unlimited paper money while leaving citizens to foot the bill. Currently, the Fed is about 20 trillion dollars in debt. Hey, did you hear about those crooks who knocked off the Federal Reserve bank? They couldn't figure out what to do with minus 20 trillion bucks. #4 - Testing the Meddle Politicians are indignant at the prospect of another government meddling in U.S. elections. In 2016, what began as an ingenious campaign tactic quickly grew into a full-fledged spy scandal, with Democrats of all stripes accusing Russia of rigging the Presidential election against their candidate Hillary Clinton. But our leaders could use a self-examination. Our government has been meddling in foreign elections since the 1950s, when it helped overthrow democratically elected rulers in Iran. The CIA is known to have played a role in the assassination of Congo leader Patrice Lumumba, and more recently helped General Pinochet achieve a violent coup in Chile. In a word, Uncle Sam gives as good as it gets when it comes to interference. #3 - Mistressing the Point President John F. Kennedy has taken a pretty bad rap from fellow Catholics over the years, due to his extra-marital love affair with none other than Marilyn Monroe. But the truth - rarely if ever brought up on TV - is that Kennedy is far from the only President OR First Lady to have a secret lover. Everyone knows about Bill Clinton's White House liaisons, but Bill's got nothing on Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt who practiced an open relationship - behind closed doors. Lyndon Johnson was a two-timer in Texas, carousing with glamorous model Alice Glass. President James Buchanan had a boyfriend. Have the Bushes, Obamas and Trumps been more faithful to their monogamous vows, or just better at hiding their sex lives from the public? #2 - Dishonest Abe In Washington D.C., the words "Abraham Lincoln" are synonymous with honor and integrity. Lincoln, after all, freed southern slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation, and managed to win the Civil War despite a bumpy ride for the first year or two. But in real life, Lincoln was as racist as most white men of his era, and believed that slavery was not the central issue of the Civil War. His proclamation helped cause chaos for the Confederacy, but Lincoln also sneakily employed slave catchers in Northern cities. The iconic President once confessed that if he could have held the Union together with the simple promise to keep slavery intact, he would have done so. #1 - UFO Research: A Russian In-Wention Most of us know of Area 51 and the mysterious, shadowy nature of our government's business there, be it testing creepy weapons, studying aliens, or both. But did you know that Moscow's astronomers have likely gathered more evidence of UFOs than we have? In fact, in 1967 Soviet astronomer Feliks Zigel invited NASA to take part in a joint study of Russian UFO sightings, which once involved 200 witnesses giving the same account of a possible alien ship. Russia has been investigating UFOs since before our government was interested in space, and the joint effort could have been groundbreaking. But it was the Cold War, and NASA turned him down. So if you think it's just the United States secretly storing those alien remains...remember, UFO studies are a Russian In-Wention, Captain!
