LIES THE GOVERNMENT TOLD YOU

In his book “Lies The Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History,” Judge Andrew P. Napolitano has meticulously and concisely outlined seventeen lies or so to say acts of deception that he feels the American government has been sharing, spreading, and/or allowing to be propagated throughout the country’s history for generations. Through his book he attacks the philosophy or mindset that facilitates the government to lie, and it challenges readers to recognize that characteristic, to confront it, and to be rid of it for good.

Through 17 well researched and well presented chapters viz,:
