“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” — Allegedly spoken by William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
Though this quote is widely debated in authenticity, its content reflects a strategic reality: disinformation is not about lying once—it’s about making truth itself impossible to discern. In a world increasingly shaped by media manipulation, psychological operations, and ideological warfare, the idea of making “everything believed false” is no longer hyperbole—it is an operational goal of cultural, political, and psychological conquest.
This article unpacks how such a strategy is implemented, why it’s done, and the devastating effects it has on the individual, family, society, generations, and national destiny.
I. How Disinformation Is Accomplished
The goal of disinformation isn’t just to deceive—it’s to reshape the framework of reality so the public no longer knows what to believe. This is accomplished through a multi-layered, coordinated system.
1. Control the Gateways of Information
Media consolidation places most of the news and entertainment in the hands of a few corporations.
Narrative framing ensures even “truthful” stories are told in ways that advance a specific agenda.
Censorship and shadow banning silence dissent while amplifying the sanctioned perspective.
2. Replace Truth with Emotion
Facts become secondary to feelings.
Truth is redefined as “your truth” or “lived experience” rather than objective reality.
The masses are conditioned to trust personality, charisma, or repetition, not logic or evidence.
Whether or not William Casey ever said it, the spirit of the quote rings true: we now live in an age where lies are called love, and truth is called hate.
But truth remains. And so does the call.

Because in a world of manufactured realities, the most radical thing you can do is think clearly, live truthfully, and love courageously.
