The lair talks to deceive, the narcissist and manipulator talk to deceive, and some people are all, a liar, narcissist and manipulator, and the desire is to deceive people so that they can control them.

The greatest trick is to convince a person or people to only hear their side of the story, thus leaving the victims of their lies half blind and believing a version of events that is based on a bit of truth, many lies and only one side of the story.

People thus armed will back up, support, and be tools for the narcissist/s, and they will believe that their one-sided small amount of truth mixed with lies is the complete and only truth.

Politicians do this all the time to convince the public to believe and follow them.
Any reading or study of political power in any country will show people this, yet even armed with this knowledge the general public allow themselves to follow, obey and even give their lives for causes they don’t fully understand that were created int he public’s minds a mixture of lies mixed with truths.

Hitler did this when he told the people that the enemy bombed a village and killed everyone in it, and the German people were full of anger and revenge, yet Hitler also knew that it was his own German bombers who had mistakenly bombed the village when jettisoning the bombs before landing back in the German airport.

In the USA government documents are constantly being released with shocking truths of the people being lied to by past Presidents and political people, yet the people will still blindly give their lives for the latest political stories mixed with truths and lies designed to convince the public that war is the way.
