The truth is a weapon, in the Propaganda industry, albeit one that often gets short shrift. Tobias Langdon tells us in The Toxicity Of Truth that lies are weapons too; that they work especially well for the corrupt and the vicious. He is referring mainly to Socialists, to Marxists. He mentions Blair & Obama in particular. There are plenty more that could be added to a list like that e.g. Netanyahu.
Paul Craig Roberts, an

Academics can lie just as much as the rest of us. When their livings ride on it,
they may do it louder, longer, more publicly. An Australian does not go along
with one of them.
