I think the response to demonstrable lies is not appeals to authority and “peer-reviewed papers” (as if that carried any weight in the pursuit of truth), but instead speak truthfully in the face of deception. The IMF represents an ungodly and evil system and we should stop pretending it cares about truth. They know they’re lying. Invoke the name of Christ Jesus and do not play the demons’ game of sophistry. Demonic principalities will of course react with predictable lies and deception, call out the lies, and in Christ’s name and banish the demons. This carries far more weight (infinitely so) than peer reviewed papers and rational arguments. View quoted note →
