While lying has been with us from time immemorial. In today’s age it is different, in most respects worse.
“Age of Deception” -- simple words, yet together they convey danger. Deception is defined as the act of hiding the truth to gain an advantage. Simply put -- lying. An age is a division of time, an era. These three words are often referred to in books dealing with treacherous epochs. Even the Bible references these words, describing an era of deception against God’s people. Crafty truths about doctrine which leads humanity towards end times. Plato stated “False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.”
Humanity confirms that lying and the masking of our inner selves is part of life. Today, we have the marvels of modern technology impacting news, social media, political organizations, and educational institutions. This has enabled self-proclaimed attention seekers, hyperpartisans, and profitable algorithms. They have spread a myriad of leftist ideas about truth throughout America. While lying has been with us from time immemorial, in today’s age it is different, in most respects worse. Corrupt revisionists are circulating damaging lies, and these falsehoods are amplified as never before. One example is the leftist hatred against America’s heritage and culture. We now live in an age where absolute truth has gone the way of the dinosaur. America’s citizens must hear this wakeup call and apply critical thinking against these lies, manipulation, and deceit. Americans must understand this dark energy or it will destroy our society, perhaps leading to America’s end time.
Each day in this “Age of Deception” constantly raises challenges in finding reliable information. The 2024 election has already demonstrated that disinformation will be used regarding the economy, climate, immigration, voting, and woke thinking.

The democRATs are competing with Allah to be the greatest deceivers.
When lying ‘works’ it’s incentivized.
It’s why a free and honest press was an important part of our system. That’s changed. The liberal ‘elite’ press is firmly biased and functions as a facilitator of lies.
A solution? Create something that replaces the corrupt press.
But, then, the schools never taught us how to think. They only filled us with information.
And now, the Marxists controlling our schools teach us that "critical thinking skills" are racist.
Their goal of creating a nation of sheep has been accomplished.
The left have been terribly successful at deceiving the low,info folks of the world to beleive
That man is destroying the planet
That men can be women
That women are just as capable as men at everything
THat all whitE people are racists and bigots
That homosexuals are gay
That there are so many genders that it’s impossible to know how many there are
That men mensturate
That it’s perfectly normal and ok for men to shower with little girls in schools and ymca and such
That a man hanging out in a female athroom all day isn’t a pervert
That the world is gonna end in 6 more years or so because of evil man
That throwing all our money at “climate change” will solve the “problem”
That bugs are delicious
That electric everything can be achieved without burning fossil fuels to supply said electricity
That children before the age of reasoning and common sense really want to be mutilated and change their sex
That it is impossible to tell what a woman is unless a person is a biologist
There is certainly a lot more that liberals have successfully declared to be the “New Truth According to Liberals”, but this small list just goes to show h9w successful they have been in turning cold hard facts into lies, and lies into cold hard facts
“While lying has been with us from time immemorial.”
Satan wasn’t called the “Father of Lies” for no reason. This should tell us who pathological liars serve.
BTTT
Anyone who uses the absurd expression “my truth” (as in, “I am living my truth”), is among these Orwellian fools. Some are just stupid, others are intentionally deceitful. Both are dangerous.
Reading the first paragraphs of this reminded me of a classic article on deception posted back in 1998.
