The Biggest Lies in History

-Stalin's promises of equality

-Iraq War

-Columbus/Pilgrims at peace with Native Americans

-Catholic church

-Watergate

-Wikipedia

-Hitler

-politics

-U.S. promising equality to blacks before the civil rights movement

Throughout all the lies in history, I believe that Adolf Hitler telling the Jews that they will live a better life at the ghetto was the biggest lie in history.

Manipulated Information from Government Possible in Society?

I totally believe that the government manipulating information is possible in our society. This is due to a point in which our society's government think that telling a particular truth to the public can be dangerous in terms of security, health, as well as themselves, etc. And to prevent that, the government might manipulate or not even mention the truth to their people in our society. I think of this as the government backstabbing me and the people of the society every time they lie or not mentioning the truth and killing us to death. But I doubt that the government will control or manipulate almost every information available to them. This is to the point in which the government don't want the public to notice that they are controlling information and tell most of the truth. Sure that most of the people of a particular society won't notice the lies but not a little percentage of that society. That is because I believe that there are at least somebody will eventually find out that the government is being corrupt of telling lies to the public and spread that message to every one living in that corrupt government. Then you notice that the government in which was telling lies to people about any topic has collapsed and went to extinction like the communist Soviet Union in the 1990's.

Government's Witholding of the Truth

How would it be possible for a government to keep the truth from it's citizens?

- The government might tell only part of the truth and keep the other part untold for some reasons.
- The government might take the truth and replace it with lies believable to citizens.

For what reasons did the government want to control or manipulate information?

-So that citizens might not leave that particular government they are in now and move to what citizens think is a better government to live with.
-So that citizens do not rebel against the government.
-To prevent citizens from thinking negative of the government.
