In history we can identify many untruths that various entities and governments have used to implement certain regional plans and strategies. We know today that the pretext for the outbreak of World War II was an alleged attack on the German border by a Polish commando unit. After the end of the war, information appeared about this event, which was practically a staging of the attack that would provide the pretext for the invasion of Poland by the German army. Another environment in which the phenomenon of fake news is present as well as that of manipulation is the political environment and, in this context, we bring into discussion the contemporary political environment in relation to global events that are often part of manipulation and lies.
