Assault on truth
Although some of your readers will suggest, perhaps with some justification, that I am going too far I am compelled to draw their attention to the post-war words (by necessity here paraphrased) of the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller.
“First they came for the Communists and I did not speak out. Then they came for the socialists, then the trade unionists and then the Jews and I did not speak out. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.”
