By now everyone acknowledges that the federal government lies to Americans as a matter of course. It’s no longer just the so-called “conspiracy theorists” who think that. Anyone who’s been paying attention over the last couple of decades has come to that conclusion. After COVID, after the recession that wasn’t really a recession because they changed the definition of a recession, after the wars in Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan and Ukraine and so on — there’s no reasonable person left in this country who trusts the federal government on faith, and rightfully so.
What this means is that, if you’re a Washington bureaucrat, toiling away in, say, Joe Biden’s Justice Department, you have to adapt. You can’t just feed people bald-faced propaganda, because no one will buy it. You have to work to sell the deception. So naturally, that’s exactly what the DOJ has been doing. They’re coming up with inventive new ways to lie that are difficult to detect, at least on the surface.
