How To Lie

Ms. Google will try to get me to read “news” from different sources. Yesterday, she showed me one of many articles claiming that the Trump administration is reacting differently to the riots in LA than they did to the “riot” on January 6th.

Paraphrasing Mr. Dunn, “Orange man bad. He pardoned those evil J6ers that admitted to …”

This is an absolutely true statement. Many of the people who were detained for their actions on January 6th did plead guilty to multiple crimes.

What was not said was that these were people who had been crushed by the juggernaut of the Department of inJustice. These people were often arrested in S.W.A.T. type raids, early morning dynamic entry. They were then held without bond awaiting trial.

There are multiple reports of these people being held in horrible conditions for many months. There were people who served multi-year sentences before their trial even began.

They were offered a chance to plead out and if they did not take the plea deal their court date was frequently pushed back.

It was never about justice, it was about punishment and sending a message.

So people did plead out. They took the plea so they could get out of the damn gulag. They wanted their lives back. They knew that they would continue to be punished for maintaining their innocences.

One of the hard things for anybody to understand is that these were people that had never expected to be locked up. They aren’t prepared for prison/jail.

These aren’t gangbangers that expect to do a few years behind bars to gain cred.

These were just regular people that were abused by the inJustice system to make a despicable point.

    There are outright lies, lies of omission, little white lies, etc…

    What you hit on are lies of context. (or lack of context) As you state, they pled guilty. What the article did not say is why they pled guilty. That is refusing to provide context in order to create a narrative.

    Currently watching a court drama show. In it the prosecution is trying to make the defendant look like an obsessed stalker. They keep repeating “you sent her over 30 texts in one evening.” as if that proves something. I have sent a half dozen texts trying to correct my statement after autocorrect helped me out. In reality that is one text, split into several.

    Content and context matter, and refusing to include it is a lie. Especially if the intent is obvious, as in your example. No one reporting the news for a living actually thinks every J6 defendant is a violent criminal that pled guilty to the most heinous of crimes.

    But, enough of their readers will.
