Lies Have Become the Basis of Governance

Both George Galloway and Craig Murray have written pointed criticisms of the latest Skripals poisoning roll-out by Theresa May. The identification of the two allegedly Russian perpetrators in the Skripals case coincides with stepped up claims by the U.S. that Syria is planning a chemical weapons attack for its offensive against Qaeda-controlled Idlib Province. Trump has apparently done an about-face on Syria and is now in full agreement with the longstanding U.S. position of regime change.

Lies have become the basis of governance. It is a tricky and volatile way to rule. Eventually the truth will out. The problem nowadays is that it doesn't matter. Lies will simply be dusted off and re-used. Look at Iraq and its illusory WMDs.
