Deception has become the order of the day. The old adage is that “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth”. This is called “The Illusion of Truth Effect”. It is useful for establishing and entrenching propaganda.

They know they are lying.
They know we know they are lying.
We know they know, we know they are lying.
But, they are still lying!
