This seems a pretty big claim! What truths do people believe that are wrong, and what do you believe the truth to be? And why would they protect a generation and from what and why? And will they not protect the generation who are coming up now, still learning the false truth because the real truth hasn’t been revealed yet?

I'm not certain.

It's very common to delay information to minimize its impact. I suppose for "national security." My intuition is that it is a matter of country pride, and cultural "ownership" over a world wonder.

No, that's how delaying information works. They'll all be dead by the time it comes out anyway.
