Kurt Schlichter is close on this one [1], but I’m afraid he underestimates the situation.
But trust is earned, and these people act like it is their right to have our trust, that we owe them to take it on faith that whatever these people say is the Gospel. Except they are wrong all the time, and instead of owning up to it, they treat you like some sort of idiot for noticing. When you don’t trust people who are perpetually wrong, that’s not denying science. That is science – you are making observations, and drawing reasonable conclusions. In this case, the observation is that our establishment sucks, and that it can’t be trusted.
How far would a little humility gone? Very far. Imagine, and this will be hard, these masterminds getting up and saying, “America, we were wrong about something. We thought it was right, but we tested it and we found we were not right. Here is the data, and now that we have better information, we are changing our recommendation.”
What would we say? “Oh, okay. They were doing the best they can and being straight with us. People make mistakes. We need to learn from them. After all, it’s been a century since the last pandemic so we have a lot of lessons to re-learn. Let’s move forward.”
But no. No, there’s no humility. They make a mistake and they don’t stand up and admit it. Instead, they just change the narrative and act as if the narrative du jour was always the narrative. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. But we’re not blind or stupid for noticing.
They tell us the vaccine is going to make us immune from COVID. Then it turns out you can still get it, just not as bad. Yet when people notice this 180-degree spin, the smart set shrieks like Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Just imagine if they had been honest and forthright. But that was not in the cards. The ruling caste’s conceit is that we are idiots, unable and unworthy to make simple decisions for ourselves. We must be guided, nudged, or intimidated, if ..necessary, into making the right choice. And we do not deserve explanations, because the last thing our elite wants is accountability.
Instead, they want unlimited power.
Ummm… Kurt?
Of course they want unlimited power. This was and always has been about defeating Donald Trump… About reestablishing and maintaining permanent Democrat party power.
Remember first of all, that when government runs Health Care, every healthcare decision is a political one. There’s no other way for that to fall out. Democrats have always understood this which is precisely why they pushed so hard for the government takeover of healthcare.
We now know that Facci was lying to us, this was no mistake, this was a flat-out lie, when he said that he was not funding gain of function research at Wuhan. His theatrically vehement denials simply don’t hold up to his own definition.
And how is it that he knew just two days after Donald Trump’s election, that Mr Trump would face a pandemic? If he knew two days after the election, why is he didn’t know two days before, particularly since Fauci was funding that research?
It’s difficult not to draw the conclusion that Dr Fauci along with the remains of the Obama administration decided to get together and release the kraken. After all they had a common enemy in Donald Trump. What better way to defeat him after the fact?
Again, these are not healthcare choices, these are political choices.
And if you think they’re alone in this, think again.
Remember the nursing home deaths in New York as an example… Sending infected patients to nursing homes where covid-19 could be spread among older people (who would only vote Republican anyway,) instead of sending them to temporary hospitals which were provided by Mr Trump’s Presidential edict, simply because the Democrats didn’t want Donald Trump getting any credit for putting a handle on this. Or perhaps just as likely because they didn’t want to get a handle on this. The illness being in the wild was their ticket to power either way.
And yes I’m fully aware of the level of evil required. But I wouldn’t put it past the Democrats.
