Putting a spotlight on truth versus propaganda can help stem the manipulation that these war-mongering tyrants use to forward their lethal and destructive agendas.

Lies, misinformation, and propaganda are their tools, convince one man, you must strike first to prevent your wife and children from being raped and killed, he will take up arms. Convince a nation, and you have a war.

Will the gears of war mongering grind to a halt when it meets a wall of truth?

So what happens when the lies are exposed? Will that one man still take up arms if there’s no danger to his wife and children? Will that nation ignore the truth and go to war when they no longer believe the lie? 

Talk softly and carry a big stick might be a good defensive posture. But disarm the would-be despots before they even get to power, and you might not even need a stick. Expose their lies and propaganda, and you take away their power to manipulate.
