Art of Deception and Lies
America: Gaslighting as a Discipline of Social Change

April 25, 2021
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.  John 8:44 (NIV)
You are Made Clearly Known when Your Legal Defense is that You are a Liar and Your Words are Intended for Irrational Folks
In 2020 Tucker Carlson broke the record for highest-rated program in U.S. cable news history, garnering an average nightly audience of 4.33 million viewers. When pressed legally about the integrity of the information passed on to his viewers, the Fox News lawyers representing him stated the "I'm Popular, I'm Paid to Lie, So I Lie Defense" --- AKA "I'm Just Bullshittin', Play Acting the News Defense":

Case Dismissed in Federal Court: Tucker Carlson Ruled a "News Clown"
Tucker Carlson is an entertainment personality, he "is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary,'" -- AKA Fiction "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes.

Legal Defense Against Defamation: I am a Liar as Well, My Words Only Target Those with No Sense
Post November 2020 election, Sidney Powell joined former U.S. President Donald Trump's legal team to help in overturning Trump's loss. She promoted the idea that voting machine manufacturers rigged the election in U.S. President Joe Biden's favor. The following month she was sued for $1.3 billion for that lie.

Her defense: Powell’s lawyers argued her claims that were clearly her own “opinions and legal theories” and not statements that the public would immediately believe... that a reasonable person would not automatically believe her.
I Lie Too. I'm Ted Cruz and I Believe People are Stupid.
It worked for Trump. God, I hope it works for me... I can almost taste the power. [Balls fist and bites down on forefinger.] To Steve Bannon: "Put me in coach."
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!  Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)   For such people are not serving our Lord, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.  Romans 16:18

Protest
In response to a reporter's question of "What should protestors do?", U.S. Representative, Maxine Waters, offered (on live TV, present among an unarmed gathering of citizens, while jury was sequestered) that if justice was not served, never stop protests, but protest even more aggressively. Make your voices heard. Let them know that you mean business.

Riot
Out of pure avarice and hunger for power, and in response to his election loss, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed, on live TV, an angry, armed mob of protestors (who threatened harm and murder), encouraging them to surge the Capitol to defend his power grab and attempted overthrow of the American government.
