Our modern world embraces the lie, the lie of our history, the lie of our present. The lie feeds power of those who seek to control humanity through control of countries & economies.
Money, power & religion are the root perpetuators of the lie, all are mechanisms of control.
The lie is perpetuated through political ideology, religion or both. The lie is pushed to control humanity so that power & wealth solely remains in the hands of the few, at the expense of the many. Be they oligarchs, plutocrats or religious theocrats, they all seek control.
As the lie becomes the accepted norm, those propagating the lie seat their power & control over humanity. We see this in crony-capitalist western nations, socialist regimes, communist nations & religious theocracies like the many Islamic nations of our world.
In all of these formats, power & wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few no matter it be obtained through control derived from political or religious ideology. It matters not the method, all support the lie. It is human nature in a world ruled by Adharma.
This is why Media lies, be it in a crony-capitalist oligarchy/plutocracy like western nations, a socialist/communist nation, or a religious theocracy like our many Islamic States. Media lies to maintain the control of the few and they do not want you to question their authority.
