The Effective Truth

Power depends on appearances, on manipulating what the public sees. On seeming good, while doing what is necessary to gain and maintain power. To decipher events that seem hard to read, I sometimes rely on a Latin strategy called Quebono. It means look to see whom it really benefits in the end, and then work backward. Self-interest rules the world. Daily law, don't be fooled by appearances, by what happens, by what people do and say. More seduction and war.
