The Karma of Untruthfulness. Occult means of mass influence and hidden causes of the First World War. Thirteen

These lectures Rudolf Steiner read on the eve of Christmas 1916, when the war has already covered the whole world and it was necessary to figure out the true causes of what is happening. Who actually unleashed this war? For what purpose? Whose interests continue bloodshed to a victorious end? And who will celebrate victory?
Answering these questions, the author opens the occult reservoir of the unfolded world contraction. He explains the driving forces of historical events, describes the occult means of impact on large groups of people and shows that behind external events are manipulators using occult knowledge in the Uznurgin Interest. The most important role in the events under consideration was played by the fact that Steiner called untruthlessness - a frank lie and semi-trial, actively introduced into consciousness including through the media.
