What do you think was the biggest cover-up in the history of the U.S. ?

Question

Since the Declaration of Independence, stories and rumors surfaced about events and the people never being the truth.

Is there an event that you believe was covered up...by who?

Answer 1

The truth behind the assassination of President John F.Kennedy.

I do not believe only one person was involved. If that was the truth, then why is the official Warren report to remain sealed until the 100th anniversary of JFK's death? In 100 years, those of us who were alive, will all be dead.

Answer 2

There have been rumors and speculation about cover ups since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.Many of these rumors could have been laid to rest had the incidents been investigated and the results made public. Here are a few theories:

the Assassination Of President Lincoln-How did John Wilkes Booth elude capture for as long as he did? Why did he die before he was officially charged with the Presidents death.? Was he killed to spare an all ready grief stricken Mary Lincoln the anguish of a trial or was Booth killed to silence him.Was Lincoln killed because of dissension between the North and South or political reasons?

The Assassination OF John F. Kennedy- How did one bullet do so much damage to two people? What took the motorcade so long to stop after the shooting started? Why was the motorcade route changed ? How did Jack Ruby get close enough to kill Lee Harvey Oswald? Who had the most to gain?

The Assassination of Robert Kennedy- How did kitchen help get close enough to a potential presidential candidate to kill him? Where was his security?

Answer 3

The best cover-ups go unditected. The list, I'm sure is endless.
That's what makes them the best cover-ups.
To keep it simple...Imagine,..
Your a cowboy with a large herd of cattle your driving across country to sell.
One of the other cowboys tells you there's a pack of starving wolves over the ridge waitng for the herd to pass thru.They know if they can panic the cattle and drive them in all directions the'll eat for months.
He asks what you want to do. He points out that going in a different direction to avoid the the wolves could end up in a large loss of cattle due to a harder terrain. If you drive straight thru chances are the wolves will panic the cattle and result in a very large loss.
Or there's this,. inform the cattle of the situation and hope they don't up and panic immediately scattering in all directions. Also resulting in a very large loss of cattle and still having to face crossing the same area. .
What would you do?
This is the type of thing that makes for a cover up.
"Really, why"? you ask.
Here's why. This's the best way to handle this with the least amont of losses of both cattle and profits.
Out of the herd your going to cut out half dozen or so of the dumbest cattle. Just before your ready to drive your main herd safely thru we're going to drive the ones we cut out straight toward the wolves. Just off enough to draw their attention away from the main herd and leave them for the wolves to chase around.B y the time the wolves figure out what happened your long gone with you unharmed herd.
Got it. In this country we're all the cattle.
