Black Files Declassified

I've seen Mike Baker on several other shows, but he really shines here, great analyses on various topics that may have been covered before, but with worthwhile new revelations.

I bought the series i enjoyed it so much.

The show is well done, in my opinion. My primary issue is they appear to give off vibes indicating the American people have a right to know everything the government is up to. Freedom of information, they say. I find it shocking that so many of those in this series are either so ignorant, stupid, (or willing to make money at any costs), not to understand that if all of America knows everything our government is up to then ALL the world would know too. Do we really want ALL the world to know our government's secrets? Really? Or are people so incredibly naïve to think as Americans, we'll keep it all secret?

Despite what some say, I don't find it politically biased. Some seem to have meltdowns because they think it is & claim it is skewed, which means it's not skewed to their own political beliefs.

Just noticed in season two and then went back and watched season one, how he can be driving a Chevy, the steering wheel's insignia is obvious, and he pulls up to the parking space and gets out of a Jeep, and another he's driving a black Chevy and pulls up and get out of a grey ford. Then the blurring out of the grill insignia but the steering wheel one is visible. Also driving a Equinox and gets out of a suburban. If those vehicles are rentals, which most probably are, they should have at least dusted off the dashboard before filming an episode that the dash and windows are very visible while driving.

I enjoy the show very much but I have a pet peeve that I'll get to in a moment because it doesn't take six hundred characters to convey.

I love the technological concepts that the show covers, especially the way wars will be fought in the future.

The technology that the United States comes up with is simply mind blowing and hopefully years ahead of our adversaries, though doubtful when you consider countries like China and others that would do anything to take over as the world's top superpower.

Ok, just eighty five characters to go so I can get to the point.

Would someone please tell the host that there is no such word as "nu cu lar". The word is "nuclear ". I would think that a show covering the subject of technology of the future would want to convey intelligence.

Thanks for the space to let me vent.

Tim cleaves.

"The President has secret powers even those in Congress don't know about" were sagely told by one of the talking head experts.

Ugh.

How does this talking head know *ANY* of that statement? Not being the President, she couldn't know of secret exclusively Presidential powers. She can't possibly know whether Congress knows about those powers. Are we to believe she surveyed all 535 members of Congress? In other words, her entire statement is semantically null.

That's the problem with the entire show. It's vacuous. The host allegedly at one point had some sort of security clearance, but obviously he's not going to risk prosecution by violating that confidence onscreen. The rest are the usual "experts" with made-up qualifications and fertile imaginations.

Two stars for being more credible than Ancient Aliens. No stars for barely clearing that bar. Two stars.
