If they have how would we know? And how many people could be part of something secret and unethical? Here are some things that do and have happened.
When a rumor starts that could damage someone with money power and resources. We soon witness the use of subversion or disinformation by spreading contradictory rumors, that finally overthrow the original and true story! Take things slightly out of context and possible expand on them. Find a person that lacks credibility and exploit them as wackos that support some loopy idea.
So here are a few to look into.
Tuskegee experiment.
Manhattan Project
operation northwoods
MKULTRA (also known as MK-ULTRA) was the code name for a CIA mind-control research program that began in the 1950s
The CIA mind-control apparatus has been well known since 1975,
when 10 large boxes of documents were released pursuant to
Freedom of Information Act requests

OF COURSE THEY HAVE SECERTS LOTS OF THEM, HOW MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED, MORE THAN YOU CAN COUNT. THE GOVERNMENT HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF PAGES FOR EACH AMERICAN CITIZENS. THINGS GO ON A DAILY BASES THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. LIKE IN THE 1950'S WHEN THE GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT ON ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THAT MENTAL HOSPITAL WITH RADIO ACTIVE CEREAL WITHOUT THEM KNOWING IT , TO ONLY COME OUR 50 YEARS LATER, WHEN MANY DEVOLVED CANCER, A LOT ALREADY DIED. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE.
WE ALL ARE AT RISK WITH THE SECERT OPERATIONS THEY HAVE, WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW WE FIT IN. JUST LIKE PIECES ON A CHESS BOARD.

Yes there are secrets being kept and they should be kept for the sake of national security.
However most things don't stay secret forever and vast conspiracies are impossible keep secret. The more people that know of something the greater the chance the secret will get out. The problem with vast conspiracies is that in order for them to be true too many people would need to be involved and secret would get out.

Yes, all governments have their secrets... Information is power...
Back when reporters did more than repeat talking points handed to them, they used to discover 'secrets' and inform the people of the country of what was really happening behind their backs.
The government has as much power as we give them. When we fail to act to keep our elected straight, and when we fail to get involved in politics at ALL LEVELS.. city, county, state.. Not just the presidency, we give the government more control over our lives...

There are plenty of things this government does that the American people and the media have no need, or right, to know about. Every government has it's own deep, dark secrets it keeps hidden for a reason.
The biggest failing of this nation is our free media. They demand to know everything whenever they ask...and if someone says "no, we won't tell you"...they throw a huge hissy fit.
Welcome to the 21st Century of America. Our enemies don't need spies anymore...they just need American cable TV.

ALL nations have secrets!
it is an essential tool to keep potential enemies off balance, and to protect assets and sensitive information, just like you do from your neighbors etc.

A secret is no longer a secret as soon as more than one person knows it.
