The false intelligentsia

The greatest risk to the internet are not the lies of the idiot which everyone can see through but the lies of those purporting to be the intelligentsia. There are conservatives who lie, and there are liberals who lie, and both conservatism and liberalism do not hold truth to be a supreme value. This is also true for leftism. Truth is simply not the value to many  of the new left-wing and its would be intellectual especially those within university and those that hold university places . Lying is to the new left what breathing is to biological life. 

 Vladimir Lenin, named the Soviet communist newspaper “Pravda,” the Russian word for “truth.” But all of us know how that ended up .

 There are  are examples of lies people  are told and that they must hold dear  lest they be removed from social media, shamed, ostracized, and even fired from their jobs. 

The 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the election? This lie has permeated the American media for more than three years. There was never any truth to it. But those on the left–the Democratic Party and the mainstream media–found it a very useful claim, and they are doing so again in the 2020 campaign. This lie has been told since before Trump was elected. It is repeated by virtually every left-wing commentator and politician.

 See, for example, “10 Ways Trump Is Becoming a Dictator, Election Edition” by Harvard professor Stephen M. Walt (Foreign Policy, Sept. 8, 2020) or “Donald Trump Wants To Be a Dictator” by Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland (The Guardian, July 5, 2019). It is a lie. 

 The fact is no conservative American politician is a likely dictator because one of the fundamental goals of American conservatives is to shrink the power of the government. A dictatorship in America is far more likely to come from the left, which seeks to massively increase government power. We only have to look at Seattle where a cockeyed leftist government has been put in place, In that city drug addicts have more or less been given free reign. 

America is a racist society? America is, in fact, the least racist country in history.

Jews didn’t run to America and need  to prove there was widespread anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930s.

 Another lie  was an example of widespread racist police brutality. The  lie is frequently cited by the left  including by figures as prominent as Barack Obama. Recently  a grand jury, which included black jurors, declined to indict the white police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, a black man, because Brown had attacked the officer, sought to steal his gun, and was in the process of a second attack when he was killed. 

America was founded in 1619, not 1776. This is the infamous New York Times lie for which the Times was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. This is the same prize awarded to the same newspaper in 1932 for its horrific lie that there was no famine in Ukraine when, in fact, Joseph Stalin was deliberately starving about 5 million Ukrainians to death. 

 Leading liberal scholars of American history have condemned the Times’ rewriting of American history—that the American Revolution was fought in order to preserve slavery—as a lie.

 These are just some of the left-wing lies increasing numbers of Americans believe.
