F/N: Wikipedia, testifying against interest:
To lie is to state something with disregard to the truth with the intention that people will accept the statement as truth . . . . even a true statement can be used to deceive. In this situation, it is the intent of being overall untruthful rather than the truthfulness of any individual statement that is considered the lie . . . . One can state part of the truth out of context, knowing that without complete information, it gives a false impression. Likewise, one can actually state accurate facts, yet deceive with them . . . . One lies by omission when omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions. Also known as a continuing misrepresentation . . . . A misleading statement is one where there is no outright lie, but still retains the purpose of getting someone to believe in an untruth . . .
Does anyone have any good reason to believe these people don’t know better, or that with a modicum of honest investigation they could know better? That is, that they know or SHOULD know the truth?
Theatre of the Absurd, indeed.
But then Plato exposed all of this, 2350 years ago in The Laws, Bk X. (Go look up the reference for details. And read up on Alcibiades, the poster boy for the underlying problems and prototype for Nietzsche’s superman.)
They are just telling us what they are.

That's from the blatant, willful LIAR who repeatedly falsely accuses me of threatening his family, in addition to his other numerous lies and false accusations. If I tried to list them all it would take days of typing.
It's obvious what YOU are gordo. You tell "us" every time you speak. You ARE, to the EXTREME, what you condemn.
