I.F. StoneEvery government is run by liars. Nothing they say should be believed.
About This Quote
People often say that the government is lying when it says anything. However, this is not always the case. In fact, in some cases, the government is telling the truth even when it’s not clear what they are doing. For example, a guard at a prison may be lying about a prisoner being in a cell.
The guard may have been trying to punish the prisoner for some transgression that was not revealed to him. When a guard tells you that a prisoner is in a cell when he isn’t, listen to what he says and do everything you can to make the prisoner appear in your vision.
