Do you think the government has ever played a role in covering up something?

Hey grimml check this video out [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E3oIbO0AWE]


Sorry, but I don't have the time right now to watch a video that's longer than an hour. I have to learn for the finals.
But this is still not a peer-reviewed paper. Everybody can make stuff up and claim it as the truth. Most people won't research if it's the truth. That's why I prefer a peer-rewied paper: The facts are checked by actual experts on the field. All I have seen till today was that the truthers' arguments were debunked in those papers.

I forgot to say: I wouldn't trust such videos. A good example is the movie Zeitgeist. When I watched it, it all made sense to me. But somehow I still had the feeling that something is wrong with the movie. So I did some research (only a few minutes) and what was the conlcusion? There are many half-truths in the movie, some stuff is completely made up and the conclusions aren't that obvious like they make it seem. Don't ever trust movies blindly.

9/11 could be a government cover up, i suppose some things suggested it. But Bin Laden did take responsibility for it, did he not?

That's nice. How about the X-Files predicting it only a few months before it happened?

Here's one with more clips from the same episode. They even say it will hit the WTC. The script was provided by the CIA.

You can stop the vid at 2:10 and ignore the simpsons part because that's crap.

I think they were honest about what really crashed in Roswell. It was a transponder: one of hundreds of little baloon/metal contraptions that could relay information of where and when a nuke went off based on when 3 or more triangulated its origin. It was a secret operation. The nearby military base (Area 51) was told to recover it and they overreacted waaaaaayyyy too much.

Most of the UFOs were secret planes still in development. The first report from a credible source, an air force pilot, claimed that it looked like a saucer missing two oval sections from the back, like a bat. This sounds a lot like a prototype stealth bomber.
(sorry if the pic is very huge!)

There are definitely cover-ups in, the American Goverment. I'm English and I realise this I mean American Goverment, are not telling the American People about Operations they have done until 70 Years Later. They probably wanted to keep the Cuban Missile Crysis a Secret but J.F.K, told the public about it. I myself believe that the Pentagon ordered J.F.K's Assassination. And no I am not getting this fro Black Ops it is my strong belief, he was a good president but made a lot of cuts and told the General Public a lot of things by in other's eyes:
"They where not meant to know."

If you are referring to america, that is like asking, "is the sky blue?"

I hate to say, but I believe we have one of the most corrupt gov'ts in the world!

Hmm, if Obama parents are proud American's but he is born in a different Country that makes the man a immigrant? I think not, a man or women should be judge'd on there long line of family history and not the birth place. I mean over in England if your mother is English and so is your Father that doesn't make the child a American!

The American government has participated an a series of covered up government activity that many of the civilians at the time would have found outrageous and unnecessary.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27état
This is the "1953 Iranian coup d'état", where the US and UK planned to overthrow Iran's elected (that's right, Iran even DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED this guy), in order to put in a prime minister who would share more oil with us.

"According to the CIA's declassified documents and records, some of the most feared mobsters in Tehran were hired by the CIA to stage pro-Shah riots on the 19th." (Wikipedia, link above)
These document's were declassified, meaning that enough time had elapsed for the necessity of the secrecy to fade away, so it had been sufficiently covered up for quite some time.

Correct me if I may be wrong on any of these statements, it has been a while since I've been in AP US History and the facts are fairly vague to me =P
