Fake news, propaganda, inspired by governments and delivered by MSM is responsible for all our wars and social suffering.

It began with Edward Bernays, Sigmund Freud's nephew, worked with Woodrow Wilson to establish the official US department of propaganda, still growing today, to fool the US population to support entry in WW1.

All propaganda works the same way. First the issue is made emotional to the target, so the facts won't matter. Like our newly popular word "post-truth". Then the target is given misinformation,  lies, to spring the trap.

Our only defence is to value, demand and scutinize the truth before we succumb to basic emotions engineered by lies.
