Three lies that govern a people, and the one command that breaks them There is a sentence I have come to fear more than any slogan a tyrant ever shouted. It is quiet. It is usually said with a shrug by a tired, decent person who means no harm, and it goes like this: I do not know what to believe anymore. That sentence sounds like humility. Most of the time, it is surrender. A man who can no longer tell truth from counterfeit has not become wise. He has become governable. He will believe the next confident voice, or he will believe nothing and call his exhaustion discernment. Either way, someone else now holds the pen that writes his reality.
