Given the absurdity of the 'official narratives' we're all being subjected to on a regular basis, through both the media, and, at least in my experience, people much closer to home, this seems to be an important article to consider.

If knowledge is truly power, and if the strength of our being and of our very souls is dependent upon our alignment with Truth and Objective Reality, then we'd do well to re-familiarize ourselves with the ways in which we are lied to on a more or less daily basis."
So, what rhetorical fallacies have you spotted / been subjected to?
