Who ya gonna believe?
We live in the time of the Great Lies.
What seems conspiratorial, tinfoil-hat nonsense one day, turns out true two days later. I never thought I would live to see such a time. Many years ago, young and full of dedication to the diplomatic service, I would dismiss various conspiracy stories with the line, "Do you know how many people it would take to pull off that conspiracy?" Well, I have learned. We have thousands, tens-of-thousands perhaps millions of people bombarding us with lies one after another; they not only lie to us but when the lies get exposed they blithely move on, telling us "No. We never said that," and come up with a whole new set of lies to make us forget the previous set.
In this humble blog, I have written over the years of the death of the "expert" (see here for a sample). I focused mostly on the climate change hoax--probably still the greatest lie ever told--noting that the same "experts" who can't predict a hurricane's track from one day to the next, presume to predict the state of the weather/climate in ten, twenty, thirty years if we don't stop eating meat, driving SUV's, running A/C, etc. None of their predictions has come true, so now they stopped making verifiable predictions, and merely shout, "The climate is going to change!" They can't tell us if the earth will get hotter, colder, have more rain, less rain, more hurricanes, fewer hurricanes, weaker storms, stronger storms, and so on and on. We must up-end our lives because, well, "The climate is going to change!" Their theory comes down to, "Anything is possible!" That always struck me as a weak theory on which to base critical political, economic, and social policies, but, what do I know? They're the "experts."
We live in a time of a rising sea . . . of lies; King Canute save us!
More recently, we have had to live through a batch of new lies; herewith a random sample, in no particular order: we can't drill our way to energy independence; inflation is just transitory; the Jussie Smollett "hate crime" hoax; the Kyle Rittenhouse lie fest; the January 6 "insurrection"; the Trump-Putin collusion fakery; the Trump-Zelenskyy "quid pro quo" hoax; the 81 million Biden voters; and, of course, the hoax that comes in a close number two to "climate change," the COVID-19 hoax--a flu manufactured in a Chinese lab, with Fauci support--used as the excuse to wreck the global economy and expand the power of the ruling bureaucratic elites. Masks everybody! Mail in your ballots! Stay home! Don't congregate! Fake up those death numbers!
So is it any wonder many of us have serious doubts about the story we get fed 24/7 about Ukraine? One doesn't have to become a Putin puppet, or have a lack of empathy for the poor people killed by the Russians, to have reservations about the march to war that the ruling class want us to undertake. Every day it seems something new emerges about that war; something which, ironically, fuels the clunky Russian propaganda machine. What the hell is this business about the US funding or otherwise supporting Ukrainian bio labs? What is the true story? Certainly the nonsense coming out the State and the Defense Departments is not the whole truth. Is this Wuhan on steroids? What were we doing? If it's all innocent, why did our idiotic Undersecretary Nuland express "great" concern over the Russians gaining access to these labs?
None of this makes sense, except for the horrid possibility that we have a conspiracy to destroy the West by a cabal who think they will hold ultimate power afterwards and rebuild the world to their liking. Too crazy? Think not.
