We all know the government only wants what's best for us, right? They would never lie to us. That's why we trust them with all our tax dollars...
If you've been a long-time follower of Glenn—or have ever picked up a history textbook—you know that, unfortunately, governments tend to slide toward corruption and self-interest. That's why we have a Constitution that puts limits on the government's power through establishing checks and balances—if only the government would adhere to them. With the growing federal bureaucracy composed of thousands of unelected officials, our government is increasingly unaccountable to the Constitution, which means they can get away with more corruption while lying to the American people.
Our elected officials need to step up and bring these corrupt leaders under the accountability of the Constitution again. Here are the top three recent examples of the government getting away with blatantly lying to the American people to cover up their corruption.
The political establishment lied about COVID's origins

Throughout the pandemic, the CDC, NIH, political establishment, and mainstream media cracked down on any speech that didn't fit the approved narrative: that COVID-19 originated naturally from bats, that the NIH was not funding gain-of-function research, and that the draconian COVID mandates were helpful in "curbing the spread" of the virus.
Thousands of people were censored or lost their jobs, being forced to choose between complying with the government mandates and their personal convictions—or even putting food on the table when stimulus checks wouldn't cover their families' basic needs. For two years, we bore witness to how fragile our basic constitutional rights really are in the hands of our unelected, bureaucratic elites.
This past year, the establishment's lies came crumbling down.
In 2023, Congress obtained declassified emails showing the WIV was not only performing gain-of-function research, but it was funded by the Fauci-led NIH. These emails also suggest Fauci’s staff was aware of the potential risks of this research. During closed-door hearings, Fauci admitted to Congress that the COVID lab-leak theory was not a conspiracy theory and that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials during COVID-19 was likely not based on scientific data.
Will the elites whose policies resulted in the censorship and mass firing of thousands of Americans for holding these views be held accountable? Don't count on your government to do so.
The FBI knew their Trump-Russia investigation was a witch hunt.

For years, President Trump faced vigorous investigation and scrutiny over alleged collusion with the Russian government. This persecution lasted for years, until May of 2023 when the Durham report was finally completed. The report revealed that the FBI never had any real evidence against Trump and was seemingly prompted into action by Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
The Truth about the Biden crime family.

On October 14th, 2020 the New York Post published a bombshell article that exposed the damning evidence that then Presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter were involved in illicit business dealings with foreign nations. But, within hours of publication, the article vanished into thin air. For years, we were left wondering what had happened until December 2022 when part seven of the Twitter Files revealed that the FBI had prompted Twitter executives to take down the article the day before the article was published.
With the emergence of the Hunter Biden laptop evidence came a whole new understanding of how crooked the Biden family really is. It has revealed that the family has had business dealings in several foreign countries, including Ukraine and Romania, with their dealings amassing several million dollars.
