You left off some big lie gov manipulations of public opinion:
The Battleship Maine: used to start the Spanish-American war. Blamed on Spain, actually an accident.


Does this mean everything the government does is corrupt or manipulating?

As opposed to the articles you mentioned, we have been seriously attacked by terrorists. Not just us, byt much of the world. You surely don't deny this...do you?

Would you prefer the government do nothing as you don't trust them? That was the call after 9/11. Why weren't we protected. Why didn't WE receive warnings. Now as they dispatch warnings, people complain that they warn. What way would you have it?

The Gulf of Tonkin Incident : A deliberate fabrication by Lyndon Johnson to kick off the war in Vietnam

Given history, it's actually more sensible to believe your government is lying to you. How many times has history proved that the government HAS lied to us? And these are just the lies we KNOW of - how many lies remain buried, classified beyond scrutiny?
