Dear Friends,
It seems to me that everybody lies. Some people lie occasionally to spare the feelings of others, some lie to make themselves seem bigger than they are, some folks lie when the truth would serve them better… but the worst are people who lie to deceive others into doing damage to their self interests. Con men, scammers and politicians fall into this category. These are the people who pose the greatest threat to humanity and our future.
Lying to get others to support your self interests, at the cost to the self interests of others, is the currency of politicians who seek to be tyrants. In this the quintessential political liars are Islamofascists. They convince a young person, who is essentially good, looking to win favor from God, that the way to heaven is to commit multiple mortal sins, in God’s name. They lie to get these innocents to spend their lives and souls to propel the islamofascists into greater and greater political power, which he will then use to oppress others. The victims of the lies, are the suicide bombers who give up their immortal souls, so someone else can have worldly power over others, as well as the bombing victims themselves. Temporal power the islamofascist will misuse, as a means of satisfying their avarice, sexual lust, and their thirst for power over others.
The Islamofascists is not the only politician, who uses lies to get others to damage their self interest, to enhance the interests of the liar. We see this played out by Marxists throughout the history of communism and we also see this paradigm in play today around the World by various political leaders.
When a person or political party is caught lying once, it is generally forgiven, due to the fact it is human nature to occasionally lie. When a person or party lies constantly, in ever more preposterous ways, the wise person disregards everything the proven liar says. We see this in polls regarding the trust people in America have for those “journalists” who call themselves unbiased. They have so destroyed their credibility, that more people believe that aliens have landed on Earth, or that America never landed on the moon, than believe the unbiased media today. Their constant lying by, half truths, omissions and utter fabrications have destroyed their credibility.
In the US Presidential race we see this same thing happening. The Obama administration and their allies are engaging in ever more absurd lies to discredit Romney. One day Romney is a bully, the next he is a wimp, a week later he doesn’t pay taxes and now he is a murderer. The lies become more and more ludicrous every day. The unbiased press pick up the lies and run with them… further discrediting their brands. The US voter will, sooner or later, be so disgusted that we will exclaim our utter revulsion at the constant lies. As the lies get more shrill and insane the American people, and people around the World, will wake up to who and what those that make such absurd claims… really are and what they truly seek.
It is only common sense, that we do not listen to the incorrigible liar, especially if he is a politician. Because when a politician lies as a matter of course it is always because he has malevolent motives. Maybe to hide some defect in their character, perhaps to misdirect us from the results of their policies, or most dangerously, it is to trick us into doing profound damage to our self interests. No matter the reason, we can reliably tell that when a politician or political party engage in such tactics, they have put their own self interests above ours and the nation as a whole. Wise people protect their self interests, and don’t fall into traps set by disingenuous politicians, like the Islamofascists and others with similar agendas. But, there will always be a segment of the population that believe George Bush dynamited the levees in New Orleans and personally demolished the World trade center. Those people are beyond hope and willingly strap on the explosive vest, walk into a school… and trigger it. It is up to the rest of us to see that they don’t.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
