Fake news is rising rapidly, an ironic and disturbing trend. Despite having unprecedented access to information, we're caught in a paradox where abundance breeds falsehoods.

My Humble Opinion!

The will of the people, really? , IMHO, was predicated by lies, Apparently, supported by money and part of Aleksandr Dugin's 1997 grand plan.

It is not usually a good idea to write an article when your self-monitoring is at "ebb-tide:" However, it can be rather cathartic.
