The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed. - Hannah Arendt, German philosopher and historian, from her essay “Truth and Politics,” published in the February 25, 1967 issue of The New Yorker.

"On Meet The Press, Buttigieg called the lies and ensuing threats to the city “part of a strategy,” where Trump’s campaign would rather “talk about anything but their actual record and their actual agenda.”

“They need to get us talking about something else,” Buttigieg said. “The crazier, the better. And they go for something so outrageous that you actually can't ignore it...because very real pain has been inflicted on this community.”"

Review: Kill Yours, Kill Mine by Katherine Kovacic

austcrimefiction.org/review/ki…

... more than KILL YOURS, KILL MINE (aka SEVEN SISTERS) playing into any wish fulfilment you might have, it's cleverly constructed, fast paced, bravely plotted crime fiction with twists and turns, and a kicker ending. Utterly compelling reading.
