The new world strateegery: lie and stick to it

That's what it's come to. If you are wrong or caught in an unfavorable situation, just lie and stick to the lie, and when it comes time to defend your position with facts, just avoid speaking directly about it. Don't let your accuser argue facts, just stick to your lie, and let the "courts" sort it out. If you are adamant about your lie, this will create doubt, reasonable doubt. Lying with conviction. It's the new way of doing things.
