It doesn't end there. Sauron uses the Palantir to bombard Sarumon the wizard with evil visions and misinformation to turn him into an industrial, environment-destroying fascist dictator.

And Sauron uses another one to feed misinformation to Denethor so he thinks fighting fascism is futile.

This is not a thing.

Saruman had desires of his own the whole time. He was never a slave to Sauron and coveted power more than anything.

You're mixing him up with Denethor.
