Why oligarchies create their own "real stories"
and eliminate the dissenting storytellers

Blazing Reader,

Another great quote from Setting God Free (written by renegade Catholic priest, Father Seán Ólaoire):

“Great ideas and great stories inspire great transformation, but they don’t have to be ‘real’ to effect these changes. That is why oligarchies create their own ‘real stories’ (fake news) and eliminate the dissenting storytellers (the prophets).”

In fact, sometimes the most credible way to spread great ideas is through made-up stories. As Mark Twain said, "It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense."

Stay sane & read great books,
