Worldwide Spirit of Deceit and Hypocrisy - Raymond F McNair - October 1974

Raymond F McNair

Many things in today's world just aren't what they seem. It's the era of the "sophisticated lie." Who can you truly believe? What is behind all this lying and duplicity? And where will it take us - unless we drastically mend our ways? Recently, when talking casually to a complete stranger, the subject of the "Watergate mess" came up. This individual showed much annoyance and indignation over the fact that much lying and deceit has been evidenced by various high officials who have testified before Senate Watergate hearings. This person could plainly see that "big lies" and outright perjury before the Senate hearings or before Grand Jury were utterly wrong and totally indefensible. Yet, paradoxically, this same individual, only minutes later, urged me to palm off my twelve-year-old son as an eleven-year-old in order to save approximately one dollar on the cost of a scenic tour on Catalina Island (just off the Southern California coast). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
