A truthfully informed public is essential for representative government to function.
There are nefarious groups of people who do not want representative government to function, who do not want the public to be truthfully informed, who, whether or not they are aware of it, want the law of the jungle to prevail.
This is the law of the jungle: the strongest survive; the weakest are destroyed.
We live either under the rule of law or under the law of the jungle.
War is the law of the jungle.
Western Civilisation is in an advanced state of decay. American society is decadent. Contempt for truth is the evil most fundamental to the decadence; note tagline.
Millions of people do not comprehend what's going on, either because they lack the wit or are wilfully blind to it; some are afraid of truth. They prove the adage: A fool is more dangerous than a scoundrel. Benevolent people who bring disinformation or who refuse to bring truth to the public fall into this category.
I don't know what the truth is--about this incident or other matters of vital public importance--but I do know this: We cannot trust our political leaders or our major sources of information to inform us truthfully, and truth--truth for its own sake--is our greatest ally, our greatest safety, and what we need most.
The Information Age has the potential to bring truth to all the people of the world. It also has a dark side: It can bring them untruth, disinformation, and propaganda, and it can support the law of the jungle.
The most important single thing that benevolent people can do is demand truth--truth for its own sake--whatever that may be, wherever it may reveal itself, regardless of the consequences.
Most people are fundamentally benevolent and will behave benevolently if they are truthfully informed.
