BRISBANE, Australia - The House has held a closed session for the first time in 25 years and apparently discussed a hotly contested surveillance bill.

Republicans had requested privacy for what they termed "an honest debate" on the new Democratic eavesdropping measure.

Conspiracy theorists around the world have filled many pages of blogs and emails with theories as to why the public was prevented to hear what their elected representatives said and heard.

That is the nature of secrets: those "kept in the dark" want to know and in the absence of knowledge, seek answers.

Writers suggested that the special closed session of the U.S. House of Representatives discussed a lot more than the pending security surveillance provisions.

Last week's session was only the fourth time in 176 years that Congress has closed it's doors to the public.

Word has begun leaking from last weeks special, closed-door session of the United States House of Representatives.

Theorists wrote "Not only did members discuss new surveillance provisions as was the publicly stated reason for the closed door session, they also discussed: The imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008, the imminent collapse of US federal government finances by February 2009, the possibility of Civil War inside the USA as a result of the collapse and advance round-ups of "insurgent U.S. citizens" likely to move against the government.

Also theorised was the detention of those rounded-up at "REX 84" camps constructed throughout the USA and the possibility of retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses and the location of "safe facilities" for members of Congress and their families to reside during expected massive civil unrest

Other answers included "the necessary and unavoidable merger of the United States with Canada" (for its natural resources) and with Mexico (for its cheap labor pool), the issuance of a new currency - THE AMERO - for all three nations as the proposed solution to the coming economic armageddon.

Members of Congress were FORBIDDEN to reveal what was discussed and ABC News via WCPO web site at the link below CONFIRMS congress members were FORBIDDEN to talk about it!

Several are so furious and concerned about the future of the country, they have begun leaking info. More details coming later today and over the weekend.

That is the problem with secrets and inadequate explanations for their necessity, imaginations run wild.

I'm pretty skeptical about this, but it was an interesting read. What do you think?

I personally feel that if need be,our Government should engage in
cloak & dagger methodology in it's effort to secure america and
make inroads towards our War on Terrorism.
Kinda like the post WWII period of Spies,counter-spies and
covert counter intelligence.It's what the Brits did,and drastically
helped the War effort around Churchill and FDR.
Great Leaders and Great counter-intelligence.
Is All.

That's a pretty freakin' controversial surveillance plan if that's all they're talking about... All those "theories" seem a little far fetched though.

Imminent collapse of the US economy? Gimme a break. Even Black Tuesday wasn't that bad.

Man, this happened three months ago. They were only in there for an hour with the doors shut. C'mon now.
