The Truth Will Dawn ... And Then?

Unintended Consequences

So many erudite and superbly well credentialed commentators and individuals, replete with insight and compassion, welded to very sharp minds and often sharper wits lead an e-lumination. This luminescence of data, analysis, and commentary aligned in counterpoint to a relentless crushing, injurious and orchestrated narrative is also the manifestation of an axiom many may recognise, ‘from each according to ability; to each according to their need’.

The output is an embodiement of the freedom of expression. And in joining an audience, one expresses the freedom of choice, and the right to hear, read and see. In its way, the mileur is as frutiful as it is brutal, whether on those that paticipate or those that are the target of its critique. I have no expectations, only a desire to add a quanta of contribution to the e-luminescence that daily grows brighter.

I was drawn to substack to write and to comment out of a feeling of compulsion, a gnawing sense of necessity to participate in its e-lumination. This is a conscious act of defiance against a bizarre, incarcerated spectatorship who are required only to comply, to cheer and to applaud as they nonetheless have so much stolen from them, including their health, livelihoods, social cohesion and trust and, for many, their very life.

The well recognised axiom, ‘from each according to ability; to each according to their need’ has a long history that returns us to biblical orgins. And like so many noble thoughts and symbols it was sequestered by the unimaginative.

To wit, the rainbow, the swastika together with a lexicon of reassigned symbols, words and language have become societal road signs. They are adopted to protray a faux-unity and to hermetically seal an exclusive ‘fluid’ identity that is anything but inclusive or diverse of the wider community from which they insist on violently differentiating and separating themselves. ‘Resistance is futile’, disagreement is not tolerated. Exclusiveness trumps inclusion. Alternatively, such road signs are used as a variation on hazard warning, to isolate and demonise opposition, ‘anti-vaxxer’ being the topical pejorative du jour from the pecksniffian elite. To do this the media must be properly captured, which in New Zealand is an under-statement.

While Saul Alinsky is attributed with saying, “Control the language, you control the people,” there seems a clear Orwellian origin to this aphorism. Nonetheless, the goal is to incarcerate thought, to freeze action, to influence, to promote, to instigate but above all, to control. Such actions become a required necessity when the brittle fragility of the associated diktat and narrative with its dependent ideology could so easily and ruinously be exposed. The Saul Alinsky doctrine expresses this delegitmising take-down in Rules For Radicals. The operative word for understand here is, ‘delegitimisation’.

A central plank of the current tyranny is the delegitimisation of all opposition. This is well reflected in the diminishing ability to respond to incoherence. Civilised, ethical, coherent analysis and commentary that may also articulate established and cherished values is derided, dismissed and decried. Simple disagreement is spurned and ridiculed.

The trouble is, by delegitimising a majority, pretending the synthetic gene injections and their lipid nano-particle injections are safe and effective when they are anything and everything but, the disgusting politicisation and coercion of ethics medicine and healthcare, the incoherent wrecking of a multitude of established norms, the outright denial of a tsunami of recurrent infection, vaccine associated enhanced disease and of reinfection, sickness and death, leaves the greatest number of people still standing in the sunlight with no choice and little or nothing to lose.

Post Script

While the grip of the book burning tyranny of the moment may struggle to recall the words of Spanish-American Jorge Augustín Nicolás Ruiz De Santayana, (1863 - 1952) ‘George Santayana’,

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,"

they must at least dimly perceive that, as the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) stated,

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident,

or as others have opined,

“Lies have short legs.”
