The Prince’s Truth
Numerous scholars of ancient Irish, Indian, and Iranian texts have established that the sovereignty, security and fertility/prosperity of Indo-European states depends on the Truth of the Sovereign. Myles Dillon put it like this in 1948: “Let him magnify Truth, it will magnify him. Let him strengthen Truth, it will strengthen him. Let him preserve Truth, it will preserve him. Let him exalt Truth, it will exalt him. For so long as he preserves Truth, good will not be lacking to him, and his reign will not fail. For by the Prince’s Truth great kingdoms are ruled.”

The deepest root of Tool 4. In Indo-European culture, the sovereign’s truth sustains the realm’s sovereignty, security, and fertility. When the sovereign lies — as Duncey Putin and Druidey Don lie — the realm itself decays. Disinfolklore is the sovereign’s lie made systemic: a machine for producing untruth that corrodes all three pillars of the Inner Realm it claims to protect.
