Sorry but we live in a society that is built on false pretenses and hoaxes. The preposterous UFO hoax has brought up the issue of how ubiquitous hoaxes are. Hoaxes that we are currently living through:

1) Climate Change.

2) UFOs.

3) Systemic racism. Racism against Whites is systemically embedded in law, the 1984esc name is affirmative action.

4) Wage pay gap between men and women.

5) Supposed widespread racially motivated Police brutality.

6) The supposed lack of correlation between race and IQ, violence, criminal activity, work ethic and other traits.

7) Transgenders being organic and not a fad.

8) America has fair elections.

9) Equal protection under the law and equal application of the law.

10) That Joe Biden is President. Everyone knows he isn’t making decisions but no one cares to ask who is.

11) Diversity is a strength for any country.

12) Requiring voter id discriminates against some races of people.

13) Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian Disinformation.

14) White supremacists are the main terrorists, not radical muslims.

Recent Hoaxes that ran their course, were proven false but half the country still believes:

1) Trump Russia collusion.

2) George Floyd’s supposed “murder”.

3) Michael Brown Ferguson MS Hands up don’t shoot.

4) Treyvon Martin wasn’t beating George Zimmerman to death when GZ shot him.

5) Freddy Gray death in custody of Baltimore cops was police brutality.

6) Covid masks reduce transmission, quarantines slowed the spread, the vaccine is 90% effective in protecting you, covid didn’t originate in a Chinese military lab in Wuhan it was natural. The quarantine was sold to the public as two weeks to flatten the curve. Can’t boil the frog too fast.

7) SCOTUS Justice Brent Kavanaugh was leader of a gang rape ring.

8) SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas sexually harassed Anita Hill while Anita Hill voluntarily followed Thomas from job to job working for him.

9) College campus race hoaxes.

10) Hate crime hoaxes Jussie Smollet, Carlee Russel kidnap hoax, Duke Lacrosse rape hoax, Black attacks on Asians called white supremacy, college campus hate crime hoaxes, and many more.

11) 2017 metoo targeting Trump uncovers nothing but leftist men who got away with harassment due to their Leftist privilege. Harry Weinstein, Charlie Rose, John Conners, Matt Laur, Chris Matthews, Ron Jeremy, Al Frankin, Danny Masterson, James Franco. Bill Clinton and Joe Biden still get a pass with Leftist privilege.

12) America has a free press. Victor Davis Hason on 8/8/23 article describing the fusion of all corporate media and the dem party. VDS doesn’t say it but my opinion is that large corps know that the feds can deny them M&A and target them with regulators they way they have oil and gas companies so the corporations, in this case media, do what the dems want to the letter.

Hoxes that are forgotten:

The supposed gigantic outbreak of satanic worship inspired child abuse in day cares all over the country in the 1980s. Wenatchee WA had a huge case that was ultimately determined to be a hoax thanks in part to a Wall St Journal article pointing out all the contradicting statements made by young children witnesses and other witnesses and other ignored exonerating evidence etc.

Satan worshiping cults. Son of Sam saying that the dog was his conduit to speaking to Satan. Many many others, all hoaxes. No actual devil worshipers that had committed significant crimes were ever identified. No large and secret groups of satanists were ever identified. A hoax.

War of the worlds hoax in 1930 from the Orson Wells radio show.

Aaron Clarey “Trillions of $ spent over decades to brainwash the population and you think that you are going to come along with a little stick of truth and they are going to accept it”?

Aaron believes that most people are incapable of independent thought. He is probably correct. People have beliefs and opinions on big issues based on culture. The Left controls our culture. The Blob is raised on marxism. Also women have a lot of influence in every American institution and they have a natural affinity for socialism that will never change.

Yes, hoax after hoax, lie after lie. No wonder people are losing their minds. I'll add a few more falsehoods peddled to the US public (may be some overlap with your comprehensive list.) If it's ok with youI may 'publish' our list for fun .

Russia "hacked the election of 2016" (no evidence required).

Russia (Vladimir Putin in particular) is bent on destroying the USA.

All immigrants, legal or illegal, have equal status before the law.

National borders are inconvenient, cruel, and obsolete.

Western Civilization is a malignant force in human history.

Islam is “the religion of peace,” no matter how many massacres of “infidels” are carried out in its name.

Men are a negative force in society. White men are especially negative.

Brownie points given for behaviors under the rubric LBGTQ.

All discussion about race problems and conflicts is necessarily racist.

The hijab (head covering for Muslim women) is a device of liberation for women.

There should be a law against using the wrong personal pronoun for people who consider themselves neither men nor women (recently passed by the Canadian parliament).

A unifying common culture is unnecessary in national life (anything goes).

Colonizing Mars is a great solution to problems on Earth.

Blacks are intellectually equal to whites

Welfare and income supports are helping blacks.

More taxes are good because they will cure income inequality.

Social Security has a "lock box"

Democrats want you to believe that NRA members are criminals.

Women really are facing discriminatory pay difference, ie., there really is a "war" on women

Climate Change is a crisis and cap and trade is needed now.
