All Governments Lie

[Larry Storch]

"All governments lie" was the mantra of investigative journalist I.F. Stone. It's also the title of a new documentary film premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival."

Recently heard this on CBC. Thought it was interesting and will be looking for the documentary online in the future.

Write up:

im sure when enough people figure this out there will be a big revolution someday

Well, government lying isn't anything new. The fact that mainstream media is ignoring or going along with it is what's alarming. More and more people are getting their info from sources other than "The News". That may be the revolution we are beginning to see. Personally, I haven't watched tv news in years, or tv for that matter (I have cable, but no channels).
You almost need to do your own investigating, but I think you can get a better idea of the facts. Not taking all your info from one source of course.

Totally agree with this statement.
