But we have to admit now that although what we did made sense to us at the time, it was wrong and it must end.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing along with the COVID-19 narrative was immoral and it was illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The repetition of the bland phrase \u201cduring the pandemic\u201d has to end too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to make sure that the words we speak correspond with the reality that we see around us. Otherwise, we will be sucked into what Rudolf Steiner called \u201cthe karma of untruthfulness.\u201d When we adhere to horrific lies that act will make easier, precisely because so many people cling to those lies, the propagation of even more horrific lies in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accepting lies as truths makes abominations thinkable, makes genocide reasonable. No wonder that nuclear war with Russia now seems plausible for policy makers. No wonder that the destruction of our soil and oceans sounds like a good business opportunity for Wall Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step we must take is to end this pattern, to interrupt the fiction that keeps on circulating, the evil that keeps on giving. We must recognize that when we say people died of \u201cCOVID-19\u201d we are acting as knowing accomplices to a crime. Lots of people died of different causes, including some who died because of the use bioweapons whose nature remains unclear even today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there was never any \u201cCovid 19.\u201d That was the whole point of the operation. If there had been a real pandemic, it would not have served to accustom citizens to embracing hypocrisy, to accepting lies as truths in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They could easily have created a real pandemic, one that killed millions with real lethal viruses\u2014but they chose not do so because the goal was to undermine the authority of institutions, and to weaken the foundations of civil society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Killing people with a virus was not the point. Killing people with a vaccine however, was quite effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was the same script for the 9.11 incident. A real terrorist attack that made sense could have been easily carried out. But they chose to add in buildings collapsing in on themselves in blatant defiance of the laws of physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was no accident. No, that was the whole point: Degrade the public\u2019s ability to think and compromise all intellectuals (except a tiny handful who sacrificed themselves and were then completely ignored).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That left us without anyone to trust and institutions that are dishonest by nature. Call them Harvard or the New York Times if you want; the criminality cannot be hidden by using fancy names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so here we are, in the age of monsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what is the solution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is only one solution. There is only one medicine in the cabinet that has a chance of curing this gangrene of the soul. It is that bitter purgative that we are loath to drink, that sour tonic known as truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our hearts go out to those who were forced to engage in unnatural and unfair activities in a desperate attempt to preserve their sanity and to save their families.
