'If we allow the red cross to visit Palestinian prisoners, it will be a PR disaster' - Member of the Israeli Knesset admits. They clearly are worried people will see the torture dungeons.
US Government quietly passed legislation allowing the Government to legally LIE on financial records
“SFFAS 56. The Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standard 56 allows the US government to LEGALLY MODIFY OR OMIT FINANCIAL RECORDS to protect classified activities. Cook the books.”
Again, this is still in effect right now
Issued in October 2018 by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board
It allows federal agencies to modify or omit certain information in public financial reports if disclosing it could harm national security
This includes adjustments to presentations, disclosures and even consolidating and excluding components to protect secrets like covert programs and intelligence spending
So this means the federal government and departments like the CIA and Pentagon can outright lie to us about their spending and omit what they’re doing on reports
They legalized stealing from us and we aren’t allowed to know about it
