The Western War on Truth
Paul Craig Roberts
The “war on terror” has simultaneously been a war on truth. For fifteen
years—from 9/11 to Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction” and
“al Qaeda connections,” “Iranian nukes,” “Assad’s use of chemical
weapons,” endless lies about Gadaffi, “Russian invasion of Ukraine”—the
governments of the so-called Western democracies have found it essential
to align themselves firmly with lies in order to pursue their agendas.
Now these Western governments are attempting to discredit the
truthtellers who challenge their lies.
