What about the theory that Planet X will cause tectonic plate movement etc. (Yes I know most members dismiss this as bunk). But for sake of argument, if there was a planet(comet) heading in, and the Govt knew it harbinged bad things, would the Govt hide the knowledge?
No tinfoil hat. Joke all you want. Sinkholes, subsidence, cracks in roadways, smoking ground,flooding, happening all around the world. But, sure, everything's normal.

Not if it was a planet, comet or even a large-ish asteroid since such a thing would be seen by thousands of amateur astronomers and become public knowledge within minutes of discovery. And any effect it had on the planet would be as noticeable as a walrus in a trifle at a wedding.
Of course, it's always possible that nearly every one on the planet is involved in the conspiracy EXCEPT YOU If only you weren't wearing a tinfoil helmet you'd have heard the messages .......

A very remarkable planet, this "Planet X".
Not even the gravitation pull of the Sun, nor the Moon can cause the effects you describe, and yet your PlanetX is able to do these things.
Must be very very powerful indeed.
And yet... still nobody can detect it.
It's called equilibrium. Ever studied any science? All these factors were in gravitational equilibrium before Planet X showed up, and PX is throwing that equilibrium off.

So sink holes are caused by "equilibrium?" I think you're the one who needs to study some science.
There are three main kinds of faults: normal, thrust and slip. Thrusts are compressive, slips move in parallel but opposite directions (think San Andreas), and normal faults pull apart and can be known as rifts and occur in rift zones. In active rift zones caused by normal faulting sinkholes are a common feature. Lesson over. Let me know if there is anything else you need to be brought up to speed with.

Sinkholes are usually caused by the erosion of soluable rock, like limestone, not faults or invisible planets. Lesson over.
Karsts are the more common cause of sinkholes; however that does not mean sinkholes are not caused by rifting sometimes and in FACT are, please show me anything that says rifting never causes sinkholes, here is the first link I came across:

I didn't say sinkholes are never caused by rifting, did I? I said they're usually caused by the erosion of soluable rock. The recent uptick in sinkholes in the US has been linked to fracking. How would an invisible planet upset the "equilibrium" of the Earth's crust without affecting the Earth's oceans, which are much, much more liquid and susceptible to tidal forces?
Sinkholes are occurring all over, not just where fracking is occurring. Many low lying coastal areas of the planet are being flooded. Anyway, the results of a new solar body moving the Pacific ocean 3 inches and the Pacific Plate 3 inches would be quite different, with the ocean it wouldn't be noticeable, but with the plate it could be quite violent.

What you're stating is wrong. If Planet X was coming at us from the direction of the Sun, and was reflecting light in the IR spectrum due to it's chemical composition, it would be extremely hard to detect - what are all amateur astronomers taught - never look at the Sun.
