Our society is increasingly dominated by powerful liars who determine the futures all of us have to live in. Their lies pose an existential threat to all of us. We aim for an understanding of the deep reasons for this lying and the societal processes that have resulted in a high level of acceptance of liars in leading positions. We want to find pathways back to a society where lying is considered as unethical and unacceptable, where liars are not put into leading positions with responsibility for our common futures.
“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Paul Joseph Goebbels. We say:
If you are appalled by the ubiquitous lying of those who are in leading positions in our society and if you understand the danger of this and the threat it poses to our future, then we want you to join us here.
[Jun 04, 2026] ‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: This is what the Global Justice Report published today makes very clear. Read the article by Jonathan Watts in the Guardian as an introduction. While this equal and habitable world is still possible, it is very unlikely that we will transition to this world as long as greedy and unethical billionaires supported by governments they own compete to be the first trillionaire. The report underlines that the fight for an equal and habitable world has to be a fight against a system that rewards extraction and depletion of all resources and requires infinitely growing consumption devouring the Earth's life-support system; a system designed to increase inequality and sustain the exploitation of almost all to serve the greed of a few!
