Evil or Stupidity?

It's funny how people believe that authorities which constantly lie are doing it from a good place. I mean it's a common trope in politics to note they lie isnt it? Yet still people believe they have basically good intentions and really mean to achieve good, and bad things like power grabs and corrupt deals are just the result of mostly stupidity. 

Have you no spiritual discernment? Jesus said a tree is known by its fruit. Lies are the fruit not of stupid yet good intentions but rather deceptive intent. 

Do not attribute to stupidity, that which is easily explained by malice. As the Bible says, 

Proverbs 16:30 - "Whoever winks his eyes plans dishonest things; he who purses his lips brings evil to pass."

Lies are the shroud of evil. They are not tangential to evil. They spring from it. Following people blindly you've known to be caught lying will eventually cause pain in your life, and it won't be their fault. 

This is true in all your relationships. As the old saying goes, "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me." Beware of trusting liars.
