My point is that taking government money doesn't mean doing what the government wants. If they paid me $640 a minute, or even a second, I still wouldn't lie about history. No one and no entity has enough money to pay me for that.

you have answered your question here... 1567 king was killed and that was only out in 1973... so its not that secrets by government will remain secrets forever but they can hide secrets whenever they want for how long I guess that depends from person to person for how long they can keep their mouth shut but that does not mean that government cannot hide something if they want to.
Um . . . no, you see, people knew in 1567 that Bothwell killed Henry Stuart. Because he opened his mouth in 1567. Those were two separate examples intended to show a pattern of human behaviour. What does Mark Felt have to do with Mary Stuart, her second husband, and her third husband? Nothing. What he knew about was a certain break-in at a certain hotel. He spilled as close to right away, in historical terms, as to make no difference. Bothwell bragged the day after the crime. In fact, he went on trial. (He didn't get prosecuted, but that had a lot to do with the near-army he had surrounding the court.) Mark Felt helped bring down a President.

Your failing is that you think of the government as an it. You think of the government as one entity, which is manifestly isn't. Each individual person who is part of the coverup must keep silent in order for the thing in question to remain covered up. The more people you have, the more likely it is that someone will spill. And many of the conspiracies posited have a lot of conspirators. How many people do you think know of extraterrestrial life? How many are involved in the coverup? And why do they all stay quiet?
