Governments Use Tricks

Official Question Material
Prep: Varies

Official Audio Prompt

I suppose it's a truism to point out that citizens need to be well informed. Maybe it's something we take for granted in our liberal western democracies. But there will be plenty of societies that are, well, run counter to explicit government policy. Many areas of the world still suffer from the reverie of the deliberate missing information. Governments, especially the unelected ones, but also some elected ones, have denied events that have taken place. They also pretend that other events did take place. They would help spin what they cannot deny. Ensure they've used every trick of the book, to fool the eyes of the world, in an attempt to cover up their mistakes.
