Почему нам всё время врут?

Врут ли нам историки?
Врут ли нам правители?
Дела исправители -
Жизни погубители...

Врут и не стесняются!
Совесть не включается!
Врут безбожно нам всегда-
Вот такая ерунда!...

          Why Do They Always Lie to Us?By Vladimir Angelblazer

Truth is the foundation upon which justice, trust, and progress must be built. Yet, it remains an elusive and endangered commodity in our world. Throughout history, those in power have manipulated narratives, concealed inconvenient facts, and engineered grand illusions to serve their own interests. The pattern is timeless—emperors, kings, politicians, media moguls, corporate elites, and self-proclaimed reformers have all wielded deception as a weapon to control the masses.

Lies come in many forms. Some are crude and obvious, designed to intimidate and suppress. Others are more insidious—crafted with precision, disguised as noble intentions, and sold to us as necessary corrections of history, policy, or culture. These so-called "fixers" and "progressive architects" claim to rectify past injustices, yet more often than not, they create new forms of oppression, distorting the past to justify their control over the future.

Consider the modern information age, a paradox of unparalleled access to knowledge and an epidemic of misinformation. The digital revolution promised transparency, yet it has only amplified the power of deception. Governments manipulate public sentiment through selective censorship. Corporations curate reality to suit their profits. Social media platforms, once heralded as beacons of free expression, have instead become the arbiters of ideological conformity, silencing dissent under the guise of protecting the public.

My own experience is a testament to this reality. During the COVID era, I published an article—on my own page, expressing a carefully argued perspective, grounded in fact and logic. But instead of engaging in dialogue, instead of refuting my arguments with reasoned debate, the response was swift and absolute: censorship. Facebook, that self-proclaimed bastion of liberal democracy, erased my voice at the mere whisper of a well-placed denunciation. The truth I had shared was deemed too dangerous, not because it was false, but because it contradicted the prevailing orthodoxy. Someone, somewhere, had decided that my words should not be heard. And so, they were silenced.

This is the true danger we face—not only that we are lied to, but that we are no longer permitted to challenge the lie. When institutions that once championed free speech now eagerly police "acceptable discourse," when debate is replaced by de-platforming, when questions are met with cancellations rather than answers, we must ask: what kind of society are we becoming?

They lie to us because it is in their nature. Lies maintain power. Lies sustain control. Lies manufacture consent. The moment the truth is spoken freely, their authority is threatened. And so, they tighten their grip, disguising their suppression as progress, their censorship as responsibility.

But truth is not so easily extinguished. It does not belong to any one party, corporation, or regime. It is the birthright of those who seek it, who refuse to be placated by comforting illusions, who dare to challenge the falsehoods woven around them. The pursuit of truth demands resilience, and above all, the courage to speak—even when they try to silence us.

So, we must ask ourselves: Will we remain passive spectators in an age of deception? Or will we reclaim our voices and demand the truth, no matter the cost?
