Is it normal for the government to hide things?

Is it normal for the government to control, twist and hide the truth?
9/11 was apparently the government; bombs under the towers, no black boxes found, no witness’s to a “plane” hitting the pentagon, the planes that hit the towers weren’t commercial etc.
Princess Diana was murdered, AIDS is man-made, evidence of aliens exist, people dying due to the government hiding life saving drugs because of money, Jack the Ripper was hired by the Royal Family, the list goes on.
I am not saying I believe in it all but if it’s true, why are they getting away with it?
I know the government control the media and the only reason we hear these theories is either word of mouth or, more commonly now, the freedom of the internet.
Should they be able to cover so much up? I can understand to an extent it’s for our protection but, let’s face it, the only people they’re really protecting is themselves.
Has it become to norm for the government to control the world? Does the truth hurt that much? Or is honesty really the best policy?

    Who wants to sit in the basement with me and wait for our conquering alien overlords?

    of course its normal for the government to hide things from the general population. if they spilled the truth about everything then there would be mass hysteria! just look at how people are reacting to the 2012 crap and there is actually no evidence to prove that the world is going to end but they are all still so freaked out. can you imagine how people would react to things that are actually real?

    Government hiding things = normal. Your examples = incorrect. Your intellegence = lacking.

    • You = boring.

      P.S
      How can my examples be incorrect? They're theories.

      You also spelt intelligence wrong.

  • People are afraid to take action and the others just simply think "Everything is fine the goverment is filled with good people". There is also the part that the goverment in the future will try reduce the human population to 10% and if thats true I will just be disgusted that this happened because so many people thought these people were good when they obviously are not.

    I dint know whether to say it's normal or not. Basically the govt is corrupt, its not normal as a human to govern and hide things in such a way. But it has become te norm. I personally think it's the extraterrestrials' fault. They tricked our leaders into creating a slave society by giving them knowledge and technology. Corrupted.
