It's amazing what's been covered up.

- The Tiananmen Square demonstrations. (1989)[1] At least in China.

- Britain's efforts to get the US into WWII before Pearl Harbor. (early 1940s) [2]

- DuPont's attempt at a US coup (1933) [3]

- The Israeli nuclear bomb test. (1979) [4]

The first one is a successful outright suppression. The rest were obfuscated and obscured at the time, but the historical record exists.
