The average citizen, of any country, will never find out what is or has "really" happened in the government that cares for them. Furthermore, unless directly affected, the average citizen will die happily not caring. All kinds of unimaginable horrors have happened in this world, and regular people are the ones who carry it out against other regular people. All we can do as people is make sure that we are not the person carrying out any horrors against any other people.
