1-5 The Self-Replication of the Evil of Evil Men: Lies, Cruelty, the Evasion of Responsibility, and Moral Collapse

SECTION FOCUS
This section examines how the evil of evil men frees itself from moral constraint and reproduces itself without end. So long as ends such as “revolution, stability, national security, and organizational interest” are declared the supreme goal, lies, torture, starvation, guilt by association, and sacrifice can be rationalized; and once a catastrophe has occurred, accountability is evaded through blockades of information, the rewriting of history, the downward shifting of responsibility, and the search for scapegoats. 1-5-1
