One theory is that it is a small covert group within the government who is really in the know, and that nowadays the president is out of the loop.
Why would the government take that risk? What would be the purpouse?

There's a lot of talk in the ufo community about how the government's supposedly leeking information containing their knowledge about ailens. The reason for this would be to prepare people before finally telling the whole story.

We're so swamped in our own stupidity and imagination that we may never see the truth even if it were disclosed.

Considering the evidence of collusion of the government with the Zetans, I'm not sure I really want full disclosure until the alien abductions stop occurring -- especially those that involve uniformed US soldiers helping the Greys.

I don't necessarily believe in the New World Order, but full disclosure under these conditions would only serve to validate an imperialistic state that abuses many common citizens; this is not a pleasant prospect.

What would happen if full disclosure did occur and then the government decided to make it illegal for common civilians to defend themselves against alien abductions, say, under the legal blanket of diplomatic immunity?
But, if they can then point to their efforts of gradual indoctrination, they can claim (believably) that they were simply avoiding a panic, and trying to get the info out there without doing so.
Lemme shed some light on your question...what could possibly be the easiest way of making something sound ridiculous? Slipping a little truth into something a bit outlandish and telling it to a nutjob or a simple minded gossip or a greedy snakeoil salesman and having them spread it far and wide throughout the UFO community. Soon that truth waters down and is replaced by outrageous claims of discarnate alien entities and Galactic Federations and useless trinkets and books.

Last I heard, this covert group, also called Majestic 12, is not a part of the government anymore. They were until 1969, after that, they became a private owned organization, financed by big money (coming from unknown sources). So, it may be very possible that the government can't say anything - they simply don't even know. Maybe MJ-12, when they were a part of the government, had too little information or the president at the time decided to shut the group down (either MJ-12 wanted to be a private organization, or something else).

The aliens would learn people new stuff, maybe new systems of government, much better than ours are now.

Or, the last option. There are no secrets, no aliens or UFOs in any group's possesion. Therefore, nothing will be revealed because there is nothing to reveal.

The lie may run so deep and so far back in time that coming clean now would do more harm than good. Or it may put certain people out of a job.
