“They are flesh and blood human beings like the rest of us sometimes they are right sometimes they are wrong.”
— The Great Supernatural Secret, Ivan Bell – 2009

“Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information – misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information – information that creates the illusion of knowing something, but which in fact leads one away from knowing.”

― Neil Postman

Warning

There must be a term for this concept.

Those who would conceal the truth spread false information too horrible to be believed.

The target audience opts to “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”

A defense mechanism, a coping technique that reduces anxiety arising from the unacceptable or the potentially harmful.

Instead the subject believes another falsehood, easier to believe.

The truth which lies somewhere in the middle gets lost.

Mission accomplished.
