   I am an 86 year old RAF vet. I have never trusted the government since WW2.They do not serve the electorate but are in office for their own and big business benefits.In general a large percentage of elected MP`s are currupt. Reply

   60%? try 99% you will be closer cause anyone that said they did trust the government thought the government was conducting the survey and was afraid to say they didn’t trust them…. only a 3rd grader with a poor education would believe: “I am from the government and I am here to help you.” And why don’t we trust the government? Simple. Governments LIE. They lie a lot they love to LIE. And somehow they convince their employees that the public is too stupid to deserve the truth. But the truth is we are all smart enough to see a liar. We just all react differently to it. Hence the ‘don’t trust you as far as we can bowl you’ mentality into which the lies have grown. How about you quit trying to be the boss of everyone and chill out with a new hobby like loving people as a policy? Greed works but it is ugly. Love works and it is beautiful. All you have to do is grow up. Reply

    60%—BIG WHOOP. That’s still not going to matter in the long run. The people are still going to lean on the crutches of “working within the system” to avoid imprisonment and personal inconvenience. Americans are generally not intelligent or erudite enough to commit to revolutionary action, nor do they, in general, know what “revolution” actually IS (they’re lucky if they can SPELL “revolution”). This “distrust” is generally trivial, and is quickly allayed by the major media. Americans like the fact that they can still work and watch TV and raise families because they believe this is indicative of what it means to “live the good life” in “the best country in the world”. A nation of people who believe in this way is not a nation where revolution of the people can happen. Reply

    Not all Americans are dumb and stupid, they have been kept in the dark so long it is kind of hard to find the right path to a reality they would not enjoy if they could really take a truthful look at it and understand the real TRUTH of it. Yes I believe some kind of a revolution is necessary to find our way out of the hole we are in, not pleasant. I can remember when peace and love was the norm, and I am saddened by what is going on - hey the greed issue is within all people, it is just some don’t act on it, for it is only a temporary thing. It does rely on lies lies lies all the time, that is why it is called greed. Somehow, someway we the people must rise up and let these so called elite really know who we are. Distrust government you betcha’ it is a given. Reply

    How can anyone trust the Government, look at the skies, the whole Planet is being sprayed with chemicals 24/7 in every country, the atmosphere is turning white with the filth, it must be costing trillions, and the Government won’t even admit that they are doing this. All this waste of resources, while they watch people starving and war torn? All Governments are one and run by a psychopathic hierarchy, these people are not Human. Reply

    First the world was ruled by religion. After that the world was ruled by Kings in the name of religion. Then the world was ruled by governments in the name of free market economies and industry. Next the world was ruled by corporations. Now the world is run by the few who have gained enough money and power from those corporations. Not much has changed. People are still being taken advantage of by those who have the ability to do so in order to get more money and power. The only difference is that where the people in charge used to proclaim their superiority, now somehow have convinced (40%) of people that they are benevolent and act in the best interest of the masses. It does not matter the form of government, or how many people are involved. As long as one person has the ability to better his or her situation, they will, no matter how bad it hurts others in order for them to gain an advantage Reply

    Why would anyone trust “the government” ? Do you leave your car and house open ? If you trust the government, you trust normal people. Reply

    I’ll add that most people critizing them have absolutely nothing to teach them, and they feel they’re not as bad simply because they don’t have enough power. Come on, how was it in school for you ? Did the children lie between themselves to influence popularity or not take a blame or hide something they are ashame of ? Of course they did ! It’s the same little kids who now are in position of power. It is in everyday life that you can make a difference, try to be 100% honest with yourself. When people will be better, governments will be better. Reply

    I am surprised that the number is only 60%. It seems that governments exist only to serve their own need for money, power and control. Serving the people is a concept that went away a long long time ago. Reply

    Do not fear. The reason security, fear, earth changes are occurring is because bigger forces are in control. The dark wicked elite and their puppeteers are getting sweaty and afraid because their is no place for them in the new earth after the changes have moved through their changes. So they are going to continue their lies and false flag operations. WWII, Vietnam, Iraq wars were all events that were either lied about or tweaked to get the US involved. Government lies. That’s just the way it is. They will continue to do this as long as the public is asleep at the wheel. They will direct us to drive the bus over the cliff as long as we continue sleeping. STOP letting them use fear to harness you because to them, fear is the glue that keeps their plans together. Resist them and think of love and compassion while being AWARE of what’s going on around you. The less fear there is the less control they will have. I am not afraid of them. They can point a gun at my head and I am not afraid of them. They will never put me in a box unless it’s 6 feet under and even then, my spirit is still alive so they have failed - they will not control my mind using fear and my body is a mere vehicle and should I wish to return to this life again, so I shall choose, not them. Don’t let them continue to keep us in slavery. It is not true reality that more and more people are falling into poverty while there are more billionaires than ever before. It is their thought form that we have bought into. Reject greed and cease to do business with people and companies that belief in ’service to self’ over all other service and pretty soon they will run out of tactics and will dry up like a flower without water. Love of your fellow neighbor trumps all greed and avarice. Reply

    60% seems low but considering 95% of those citizens are brainwashed sheep, I guess that’s not too bad. If said sheep knew anything approaching the truth about their governments, it would be 100%. Reply

    Ever since I saw that film “Loose Change” and the revealations as to what really happened on 9/11 I have distrusted almost every thing in authority in the UK- the Government - the media - it really isn’t funny - the puppet masters have gone to far - and even otherwise innocent and unaware parts of the British population are starting to realise that we are in serious trouble as a society!

    we’re slaves. cities especially are concentration camps. try growing a garden in the park or some crops and see how many people come from all directions to give you grief about it. or even around the apartment building you live in. people dont like each other enough to share what they have with others. human beings are plain selfish. that can also be because people are too unappreciative, disrespectful and abusive of other’s ability to share so people are distrustful of one another. poor basis in understanding; poor empathy and apathy. everyone has become greedy. that’s why everybody locks everything; car, home, bike etc. stop shopping and supporting corporations and their useless products. don’t even go to work 5, 6 or 7 days a week. that’s slavery. the lack of team work and sensibility is incredible among people. develop skills in growing your own food, become aware of free energy for your homes and cars. discard money and barter instead. give and take equally.

    My problem with governments is that they see themselves as the moral authority but fail in the area of morality. They outlaw abortion to protect the sanctity of life but at the same time execute criminals, murder dissidents and start wars. They fight to protect the definition of marriage but then never really show themselves to be good spouses. They claim to be a Christian nation but then fail to do as Christ did - feed the hungry, educate the masses, love their enemies, heal the sick with affordable medicine, etc. Reply
