Friends,
Two related items in this email:
Firstly,
occasionally, when one argues against a set idea, especially an idea
that allows you to be a member of a cliquish group, snob faction, or
dare I say it, a self-righteous "herd", you'll be confronted with the
query: "What, are you a _ _ _?" As in "Are you a doctor?" "Are you a
lawyer." Basically, "Are you an expert?" And the answer always is, of
course, simple enough: "I can think for myself, which is apparently something a lot of folk just don't want to do for themselves."
An
answer like that in Nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia or Mao's China
would have got you dispatched from this world with celerity. We might be
entering a time when that will soon be true again. Look at what is happening in Austria or Australia. But we are morally
obligated by God to think for ourselves, since He made us in His image
and likeness. Or also as Aristotle's "rational animal", thinking for
ourselves is what makes us human. Animals themselves are not morally
responsible but WE most definitely are. It's a gift, and a moral burden.
About
a public policy that affects us all, and seems on course to remove all
our freedoms to somehow "make us safe", as does the whole Covid fiasco,
we need to know our history: to know, for one example from science, that
Louis Pasteur was a fraud. This is well documented in his OWN private
papers and was detailed in 2016 by Princeton University Professor Gerard
Geison in his The Private Science of Louis Pasteur, (and
actually, in effect, Pasteur himself admitted as much on his deathbed).
And that is true for virology, because in the entire history of
virology, viruses have never been proven to cause disease or to even
exist – yes, that's true. Both allegations are, shockingly
for those who don't know, historically true, if you bother to read the
history and think for yourselves.
Bottom line: One must always beware of what Pasteur's French countrymen called the idée fixe.
The "fixed idea". They should know. At one time, half of France had the
fixed idea that Alfred Dreyfus was guilty of giving military secrets to
the Germans. I'm sad to say, this was especially true of the Church in
France (because Dreyfus was a Jew). No matter the evidence, no matter
the proved guilt of the actual spy, none of it mattered. Then later they
had the idée fixe that the Maginot Line would defend them from
the Germans. They spent most of their military budget on it, so it had
to be effective, right? How did that work out for them? Today, it's Covid.
Such is no way to live, my friends. It's no way to be human. Transhuman slaves, maybe, but not true human beings.
- BTW: We could all think – or so I hope – of snappy answers to this stupid question in the title, but I think my wife's is the best: "I'm not a mathematician, but I can count." (She politely doesn't add amadán, "dumbass!", but I'm not always so polite.)
Secondly, here's a powerful article from American Thinker,
and a scary one, too. It, too, is about "herd thinking" and it opens with observations about Germany, but
then goes on about the same attitudes manifesting in many Americans
today. I'll excerpt just the first three paragraphs. Please, friends,
read the rest. It is titled: "The Cruel Lesson to Learn from Austria's COVID Vax Insanity", by Joseph Kulve.
The excerpt:Back in the late 1990s, I once complained about the quality of the tap water to my German colleagues in Bonn, Germany. It was full of caulk. Disgusting. But they lectured me that the water was great and that it was full of caulk because it had to be reclaimed. Otherwise, we would run out of water. My mocking reaction that caulk is not water and that we were just a few miles from the massive Rhine river did not endear me to my colleagues. Everyone knew that everything German was world-class, except me, apparently.
Memories of Germany came back to me when I recently read that Austria wants to remove the unvaccinated from society. Their crime? Killing the vaccinated with the disease that the vaccines protect the vaccinated from (sounds as logical as the tap water thing). I have not yet read that they want to kill anyone, but I am assuming they will remove them from society (concentrated in unvaccinated camps?) until they give in or have the jab forced on them. Will Austria's unvaccinated have to hide in secret compartments in private homes until the insanity has run its course?
The details of what I read made it sound as if the extreme measures in Austria were motivated more by a desire to hide the previous failures of the Austrian kaisers' COVID policies than to protect the people. As these COVID mandates start to look more like Frankenstein experiments gone wrong, those who mandated them will be looking for scapegoats — not unlike what happened with the failed economic management of the socialist governments in 1930s Austria and Germany.
AnP again:
As Sophocles observed 23 centuries ago, "Never say it cannot happen here."
