Everywhere we look, we are deluged with customised facts and deception. That’s why a moment of truth from a former US President stood out last week.
During a speech at his presidential library in Dallas, Bush made the mother of all Freudian slips. He denounced “the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq”. He quickly corrected himself and clarified that he was talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I mean of Ukraine,” but then added, shaking his head, “Iraq, too.”The Bushes always said that they disliked being “put on the couch”. But this time, Bush jnr put himself there.
He also appeared at a far-right Christian conference organised by QAnon prophets that started with a video about “ritual child sacrifice” and a “global satanic blood cult”.In another shameful spectacle, truth is a matter of no importance to the rabid fans of Johnny Depp, who resemble Trump followers in their blind loyalty and willingness to set aside ugly facts about their hero.
