That kind of behavior indicates to me that these people are NOT in seek of the truth, but rather something to reinforce their beliefs of alien intervention on our planet...

They believe the government when they are being told what they want to hear.

I'm one of those people who would love for it to be true too but as you said, it's unlikely the government could contain something like that for years.
Disclosure seekers are hypocrites?

Get on the side of people, real people, and demand disclosure especially tech.

Those pushing for disclosure, like me, already know 100% what is real, and what exists, often with first hand experiences. And anyone saying otherwise is ignored for choosing to believe lies or as the working minions of the elite, counter intelligence.

Something recently caught my attention regarding possible UFO Disclosure by the US Government. Before Obama made the announcement of Bin Laden's demise, there were a few people, even on this website, giddy with anticipation that disclosure could finally be happening. I find it odd that the same people who distrust the government to the extent they believe the government has been covering up alien/UFO information for decades would suddenly do a 180 and trust them for 'revealing the truth' about aliens and UFOs.
That kind of behavior indicates to me that these people are NOT in seek of the truth, but rather something to reinforce their beliefs of alien intervention on our planet, beliefs they are often unwilling to consider may be erroneous. In my opinion, either you trust the government on the issue of aliens and UFOs, or you don't, anything else would be hypocritical, and nothing but a pursuit to satisfy your own ego/belief system.
Expecting disclosure from a government you don't trust is self-defeating, wouldn't you say?

Furthermore, there is no one who will ever convince me that most of the posters who write up nonsense threads like this and others, are just ordinary skeptics. I have a very hard time really imagining that average people are this uniformed and closed minded, except perhaps for a few highly religious programmed ones, fundamentals, because most of Mexico is open minded, they are a Catholic nation that gets alot on their news, and no one I've very talked to except for a few think like this, but would never post these threads.

I get what you're trying to say, but to be honest it's probably too simple to put it like that, and generalising the whole group of people that want disclosure.
For instance : some of us want disclosure, not because we trust the government or the details of disclosure that they'd reveal, but because we think admitting that other life is out there is a natural part in our development, and the governments are blocking that. So I'd be happy that all the disclosure arguments have finally ended, and that as a Human race we can finally start looking at things in a better way, also that all of us that don't think we're alone don't have to feel like freaks in a circus any longer.
And the skeptics/non-believers would probably think they'd lost the great battle, but stuff all that. Those people would be very important in our next battle, which would be separating the truth from the obvious piles of crap that the government would give us in the way of info about any Aliens, etc.
Some believers would be happily agreeing with everything the government said, then building up their own scenarios from that info, that could be completely wrong in the firstplace. Skeptics would be needed in a big way to help with problems like that, and maybe 'believers' would finally get a better sense of why people who are skeptical are so important to the bigger picture.

They don't trust the Government to tell the *truth* about aliens... only to open the door.

We trust they know the truth about Aliens & UFO's, but we don't trust them because so much information is so blatently been held back from public knowledge - We trust justice will be served! There's a difference!
Whatever's going on, some in power may want to get on with this Disclosure, whilst other may want to carry on with the lies and deceit!
Hardly hypocritical!edit on 2-5-2011 by Just Chris because: Posted comment inside a quote tag.

It seems to me like you're cherry picking what to believe from the government and what not to with no regards to the truth, but rather what fits your bill of the ETs on our planet.
