All lies have one thing in common.

All lies have one thing in common. Every lie has to do with claiming false causation. Each lie says that an event was caused by something that profits the person telling the lie.

The ozone hole is a good example. Someone found that by saying freon caused an annual, natural disappearance of ozone over the South Pole, they could take a .99 cent can of freon, raise the price to $19.99, and make people think it is so dangerous that only a licensed technician could handle it.

It’s easy to see what happened to the profit available from the little can of freon. Instead of making ten or fifteen cents on each of hundreds millions of cans, manufactures were making ten or fifteen dollars!

Oh, pyramid of lies! Vast mountain of deception! The wonder of it all!

The environmental movement proved its worth to those who would lie about causation. “We turned freon makers into billionaires! We can do the same for you!”

Asbestos manufacturers were among the first to go, destroyed by a howling pack of vicious liars. Now, of course, our brake pads aren’t as good. On 9/11, buildings whose beams were stripped of asbestos collapsed in the fires, another case of environmentalists destroying thousands of their fellow citizens.

The makers of asbestos substitutes are rolling in cash.

Every section of every store is filled with “healthy” , “safe” products that claim to harm neither mind nor body. The only things damaged are the souls of those telling the lies.

Those who loved death more than profit focused on the imaginary problem of overpopulation. They used the environmental movement to help. “Millions will die of malaria if we can get rid of DDT! Rachel Carson can pack an alarmist book chock full of lies, and our media employees will shill it. Fools will believe. Millions will die. The imaginary problem of overpopulation will be solved.”

In some cases, the other side lies about imaginary causes (air conditioning chemicals/ozone hole). In other cases, the other side lies about imaginary effects (DDT/harming birds). In either case, lies are compounded until money begins to flow.

Then, another group of liars finds something to lie about.

Pray that they will stop lying. Our prayers are the only chance they have.
