In general the rule of thumb: if it isn’t entirely and completely true, then you simply must STFU.
Somehow our gov has given itself cart blanch to lie to us for any reason, they do it constantly with reckless abandon to cover up and further their corrupt agenda. Effectively they have stolen any chance we might’ve had to make informed decisions. The number of ways this can be abused is infinite; the number of ways it has been and currently is being abused is ginormous. It has turned our form of government into a bad joke.
