Is "Fake News" a Second Cousin to Fiction & Mythology ?

I don't believe I asked this question of myself ( since I am a contemporary fictional character).
Therefore, I submit the question to my viewers to render their 'just verdict' on the matter ! I suggest that
there be no pleadings before a kangaroo court and no political dictums ! Rather, the view and verdict of the
contemporary 'commoners' should be reached and announced in a 'Hear ye ! Hear ye' fashion in the
contemporary  ' Cyber Town Square'.

Public Opinion',

Wall Diplomacy ?

Again, I trod the earth to discover the archaeological evidence of  'man-made sanity,diplomacy
and other mysteries of Life'.Today's focus is upon the  'walls of confusion, division and paradox'. My
magnifying glass has been on its' own spectacular mission into the eons of space or so it seems.
Well, I (as fictional hoboclown detective) peered into the past  at   7th century  B.C. and poked around the
"Great Wall of China" to examine the contrast between it, the 2018 plans for the "Mexican Wall ",
the "Berlin Wall"  and the 'Wall of Wills or Peace between  North and South Korea'. The "Great Wall
of China" has its' own glorious history and intent. Ironically, the leaders of  contemporary China support
the eradication of the 'walls' between North and South Korea. Also, ironically the USA leaders support the
construction of  a 'Great Wall' between the USA and Mexico. The  " Berlin Wall' has been torn down.

As a fictional investigator,  I wonder if the history  and impact of the  'Great Walls'  have any relevance on the contemporary 'walls of division' between the rich,the poor,the disenfranchised , race and ethnicity,gender & identity, justice and injustice and the divisions between police powers and citizen's rights.I think mortal man needs some answers on the 'wall phenomenon'.

Don't cry for me;I am only a fictional clown and walk thru the walls of division all the time .Imagination is
a great and wonderful thing!

Read about the "Great Wall of China" at the following link and  examine the topic for yourself.
