"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."
"This summer, our country and the world commemorated the 56 th anniversary of the historic and breathtaking Apollo astronaut's Moon landing taking "a giant leap for mankind" while leaving behind a small U.S. flag and the delicate detailed footprints of the brave astronauts from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)."
"In its own way, the Trump administration has also taken a breathtaking "giant leap" as our country and world look on. The leap that Trump and his MAGA co-conspirators have taken, however, is not extraterrestrial. This leap, rather, follows a deranged trail outside of the traditional political and civil discourse environment into the toxic atmosphere of blatant lies and deceptions, leaving behind a stench-filled, democracy-killing dump in its wake."
"I found it more than ironic that Trump is going after his political foes by directing the Secretary of his Department of "Justice" Pam Bondi to file criminal perjury charges against former CIA Director James Comey as well as New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Sen. Adam Schiff (D) for alleged mortgage fraud."
Repeated lying aims to dissolve belief in truth so the public can no longer distinguish truth from falsehood or right from wrong, leaving people unable to think or judge. An administration action is characterized as a "giant leap" that instead plunges into blatant lies, deception, and a toxic political atmosphere that damages democratic norms. The pattern replaces traditional political and civil discourse with a deranged trail of falsehoods and a "democracy-killing" environment. Legal mechanisms are being deployed against political opponents, including directed perjury charges involving high-profile figures, as part of that broader campaign.
