The business of Amerikka

 The business of Amerikka is none of your business. 

It is steeped n secrecy, with the terms, criteria, and justifications for regulatory action known only to a few of the most powerful political actors and economic actors in the world. That scenario is fertile ground for corruption and autocratic abuse -- as well as mistakes that could be avoided with greater transparency. 

 
We, the Government, have vital information which we cannot disclose. It is upon this knowledge that we make decisions. You, who are merely private citizens, have not access to this information. Any criticism you make of our policy, any controversy about it in which you may indulge will therefore be uninformed and valueless. If, in spite of your ignorance, you persist in questioning our policy, we can only conclude that you are disloyal.

Thank you for your close attention to these matters
