Whenever my mom says “Tell the truth you won’t be in trouble.” I would almost always end up telling the truth and i end up getting in trouble and she would talk to my dad and all kinds of things, what’s the most successful Lie in History?

I feel like it would have to be one of the many lies that Juan Pujol Garcia made in WWII.

He was a double agent for British intelligence. Won the highest Military honor in Britain AND in Germany. This man lied his way into the spy business, and proceeded to completely hoodwink German intelligence.
To build off of that…Operation Mincemeat. They took a dead homeless guy from Wales, made him look like an Allied military official, and gave him fake battle plans indicating that D-Day would not occur at Normandy. It worked.
Not D-Day – it was to mislead the Germans about the 1943 invasion of Sicily, but yeah.
