Possibility in our society

I think this may be possible in our society because our government control a lot of things in our lives like having the power to put different laws, our currency, and our technology. Our government may seal information because the truth may set their people to not trust them. Its just the typical way we use the truth, for example if I didn't feel like doing Mr. Sipkins homework and the next day I tell him I forget and make up a story it would make him less mad to hear that then i just didn't do it. Thats the same way with the government.
