ELASTIC TRUTH
David Burrill O.B.E.
Corporate Security Expert & Strategist | Secure Leadership ? Making Intelligence-Led Security a Business Enabler
Kevin Green and I recently released our latest book titled Elastic Truth. The concept for the book was Kevin's and has a particular resonance during a time in which 'Fake News' and distortion of both information and facts seems to be on the rise.
In a world where threats to our well-being thrive, and responses to them increasingly take on extreme forms, how are we supposed to recognise truth from lies? What constitutes legitimate, or morally acceptable behaviour, when it comes to protecting ourselves from real or planned attacks?
Here, we survey the ways that truth and lies are increasingly entwined and legitimised to support behaviour that is unjustifiable, from disaffected parties to Nation States, and all their legal and wordsmithing employees.
We look at the work and wisdom of a globally respected, experienced and well-connected man who has spent decades working at the cutting-edge of eliciting truth from lies in pragmatic and successful ways.
We conclude with a return to some humane principles and understanding about how to move forwards in today’s often confused and aggressive climate, by respecting tried and tested practices.
We welcome morally acceptable challenges from dissenters.
“We look at the World differently.”
1 年I look forward to reading your book, David. We too are currently embroiled in disinformation and propaganda all around us, in almost every assignment we undertake, so your book will make for very interesting reading. May I take this opportunity to wish you, Kevin and your family. All the best for a peaceful and relaxing Christmas. Yours Aye Stuart
