This is the best I can come up with...

Classified, cover-up, conspire, fudge

to shield the truth?

Its the right place to post it but we had more info it would be easier to help you.

"Propoganda", is the only word I can think of that hasnt been mentioned already.

Or maybe "the President concealed the truth from the lower classes with clever subterfuge and covert manipulation"?

Couple of additional thoughts: your probably better off calling them working class.

And a tool I've found invaluable to me with my writing:
http://www.suicidalbeanbag.com/downloads/WordWebInst.exe

Its a dictionary/thesaurus program with a plug in for word. (and yes I know Word has both these things after a fashion. Word Web is more useful imo) Everytime I'm having a problem finding a word, thats where I go. Just becareful not to use any words you've never heard before as you could mis-use them which is the worst sin.

How about mendacious condescension?

Thanks a million, sometimes its so hard to find the "write" word your looking for. "best pun ever", cheers

Which one did you use, out of curiosity?

I used conspire, it fitted the rest of the text pretty well

Obfuscate/obfuscation? At least, I think that's who you spell it...
