The truth is almost certainly stranger than fiction. Unfortunately there are so many lies, so much propaganda and so much smoke and mirrors B.S. that it's almost impossible to tell anymore what is true and what is fiction. The worst part is that the media in the "free world" (an anachronism!) is now the Ministry of Propaganda and the governments of the world are the biggest liars. This is NOT a political comment whatsoever, before anyone tries to go that route! My statement above is directed to ALL political parties and ALL governments unless noted on a case-by-case basis - as of this time, I have made NO exceptions. As a postscript, I would say that I find fewer and fewer honest individuals, as well - much less corporations.
I completely agree, Rayak. Lies are ubiquitous and it is costing us a great deal financially. It is extremely difficult to do business in 2024 without being defrauded. The only person unequivocally honest is Donald Trump.
