Dishonest leaders and sociopaths have no conscience and use lies every day to benefit and protect their own interests. The deception is in their DNA. They only care about themselves and their own wishes. Nothing else and nobody else matters.

The lies have a selfish purpose.

They are meant to benefit the liar

and prevent others from knowing the truth.

Liars recognize that repetition is important. When lies are repeated over and over for long periods of time, they tend to gain wide support from people who want them to be true. Also, lies are rarely refuted. Liars know that few people will spend the time, effort, and research to verify their statements, especially when they make small modifications each time a lie is told. Fact-checkers can’t keep up with new changes and could never get the word out about every addition or change to the initial lie.

Lies are like destructive fires that grow and advance rapidly.

Unscrupulous people tell lies that spread

faster than they can be disproved and extinguished.

How sad, disappointing, and dangerous it is that some people tend to believe and perpetuate lies even after they have been proven wrong. This tends to happen when the lie is adjusted to the wishes, opinions and emotional needs of the believer. A person’s inaccurate and biased beliefs 1) social, 2) political, 3) religious, 4) medical, and 5) environmental can be strengthened by lies and misinformation. Also, any individual belief can influence your view of another belief.

A truth is not difficult to kill, while a lie well told is immortal.

– Mark Twain

We all rely on leaders, politicians, information experts, social media sites, news organizations, and other respected sources to tell us the truth and give us the facts. Unfortunately, some sources will be wrong. Others will be dishonest. Your words are intentionally misleading while hiding or concealing critical and relevant facts.

Nobody likes to be proven wrong and you can end up relying on bad people and misinformation to prove you are right, especially when you’ve gotten the results you want and like.

What happens when someone refuses to accept the facts and truths that prove them wrong? They close their minds and do not allow contrary information to enter. They are completely ignorant of reality, continue to believe they are right, and cling to any like-minded person or false information that supports their beliefs. The worst of all situations can occur when people start lying to themselves.

Liars want:

– Make yourself look good

– Get something they want

– Make others look bad

– Prevent others from getting something.

Techniques the liars used:

– Exaggerate your behavior or actions.

– Make false and misleading statements

– Double or tell a bigger lie

– Repeat the lies over and over again with courage and conviction.

– Ignore or discredit the facts

– Avoid details and details

– Withhold information

– Cover up the truth

– Intimidate or discredit those who tell the truth.

– Blame others for things that do not work

– Accumulate loyal followers who benefit from the lie in some way.

Liars use deception to convince us to believe them. Since truth, facts, details, examples, and explanations matter, we must be careful to place our faith in leaders and information providers who are honest and trustworthy.

Plato once said: “What comes out of the mouth can only be what the mouth is full.” It is our job to determine what the speaker’s mouth is filled with, especially when the mouth belongs to someone we are counting on to know the truth and facts.

“It doesn’t bother me that you lied to me,

I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you. “

– Friedrich Nietzsche

When we discover that an influential leader has lied to us over and over again, that person no longer deserves our support, trust, or respect. Only a fool would continue to trust the statements made by a prolific liar.
