Summary:
Big
lies
are told by governments, politicians, and corporations to avoid responsibility, cast blame on the innocent, win elections, disguise intent, create chaos, and gain power and wealth.

big
lies
and thinking critically, because
big
lies
require believers, and democracy depends on independent thought.
