Who are the “They”?

There is an old expression that is often repeated when one inquires as to the origin or explanation of something. Namely, “That’s what they say”. My question has always been, “Who are the “They”? For example, If you asked about why tornadoes always hit mobile home parks, the answer always is, “That’s what “they say”. Of course, this response is given for countless things that no one has a rational answer to.

Who and where are the “They”? Is there some hidden unmarked clandestine windowless building in the Nevada Desert (maybe within Area 51) or in Washington D.C. (perhaps in the CIA building basement that cloisters a panel of black clad masked  “They” who have the vast knowledge to answer every question that no mere mortals have the answers to?  It may be some super computer that has all the answers to any question that could possibly be asked. However, the “They” existed when I was a kid, long before computers were invented. Therefore, this thesis is irrelevant.

Maybe some disguised guest who used to be one of the “They” will appear on Coast to Coast AM and give us the answer. Meanwhile, I shall continue my thesis that this is indeed yet another esoteric clandestine government agency that we mere mortals will never be privy to. Could this indeed be true?

Well, “That’s what “they” say”. 😛
