Leaps of truth

All governments lie. If you reject this, then there’s no point in reading further. The banks have lied and do lie, so does BP, politicians and spokespeople for many organisations. Football managers and players lie. The Catholic church has lied over sex abuse.

The counter to all this are the words ‘some’ and ‘some of the time.’  The idea of almost all politicians, heads of big companies, church leaders, doctors, council officials etc. lying continuously is impossible for most of us to contemplate.

But what if most of those referred to here had no idea they were defending the indefensible?  What if policies based on lies and deception became the unchallenged norm?

And what if the agenda of those running the planet was so horrific, to consider it was infinitely worse than accepting the cashless, surveillance, restricted, controlled, manipulated, micro-chipped, over-taxed and corrupted society we have today?

Just suppose the motives for war were worse than profit and power, but had something to do with genocide? After all there have been no examples in history have there? The Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan and Cambodian atrocities never happened did they?

And who is it who tells us the world is over-populated? I wonder how many people in Alaska, Scotland, Mongolia, the Sahara, Canada, Greenland and Australia would agree?

 Those of us who like to think we have sound moral values could never imagine a world run by tyrants could we? And yes, what could the tyrant’s agenda be?
