Secrecy In Germany

Secrecy means Impropriety In today’s government and related services there are many loop holes and places to hide things from the people of the United States of America and all other countries. While nothing is perfect, nothing of this scale should be so subject to privacy. Hiding these things leads to disasters and mistrust of the system that is meant to be for the people, a system to not fail the body it governs. Over the years things such as the cover up of the John F. Kennedy assassination, the justification of the Iraq war, the hidden 28 pages of the 9/11 report, secret financing of Nazi Germany, and secret banking records have caused suspicion within America and other countries about what exactly the government hides that have yet

All over the world there are corrupt governments. Looking back into other secret records, there was hidden funding of Nazi Germany. Gold was being sold and smuggled to help them fund their operations by places such as Sweden. Sweden was supposed to remain a neutral country through out the war but it was later found out that that was not true. Over the years “Sweden conducted extensive trade with the Nazis, primarily in iron ore and ball bearings that were critical parts of Germany's war effort.” (Nazi gold went to Sweden 1). This neutral country kept those records a secret for many years. Even an American based bank help to fund the war efforts, of a country the United States was at war against. Chase Manhattan helped Nazi Germany excel at war efforts because “the bank offered to block both American and Jewish bank accounts, after talks with Chase Manhattan Corp” (Chase funneled Funds to Nazis). They were blocking the assets people of this country needed in order to promote the genocide in the opposing country. This knowledge was obviously not released to the public at the time it was happening since this is basically an act of treason. These two examples show that secrets do not only hide directly within the government but also in its counter parts. The way these bodies of people handle some of the information they receive is in no way helping those who deserve to know it. Secrecy has always been a trend in many

The people of the United States should be able to hold their government accountable for keeping them informed about terrorist attacks, assassination, funding of wars, and basically any other crisis or national event that should arise. The people of the United States have just as much of a right to the information as government officials if it does not put national security at risk. The people need to trust the government in order to keep the country running smoothly. In the press conference requesting the release of the 28 pages from the 9/11 reports, the daughter of a man murdered by the terrorists said “9/11 children are growing up in a world where we can't trust our own government, because too many truths remain hidden about who was ultimately responsible for the murder of our parents” (9/11 cover up). This is proof that the government isn’t being held accountable for things like
