" To Be Ruled by Liars

(Jeffrey A. Tucker | The Epoch Times)

January 16, 2023 Updated: January 16, 2023

The last several years have revealed something we never wanted to believe. Major swaths of the leaders of our public culture—in government, media, and industry—have been lying to us. They had their reasons and certainly believed that their lies were necessary and thus noble. But still we know now what we once suspected but lacked confirmation: the loss of liberty in our times is rooted in core claims that have proven to be untrue.

We could go through the list but you already know the litany: the severity of the virus, the utility of the lockdowns, the functionality of masks, the danger to kids, the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines, the impartiality of social media, and so on.

But the really big one is hitting us very hard, namely that this was never really about public health. The officials and agencies that were leading the response were not actually scientists and public health authorities. Deeply embedded agents of the national security state were the real movers and shakers throughout…"

Am so sick of seeing this word everywhere: leaders.

The flipside is followers, disciples, sheep. Non-special, interchangeable, unexceptional, mediocre, second-rate, dispensible . . . as opposed to anointed, holy, exceptional and all the effing rest of it.

It has crept in everywhere. Human Resources love it. Leaders are the ones who are paid lavishly for their special charisma and fluent bullshit but bugger all else. Managers, who report to leaders, often via stratae of other managers, are no less interchangeable than the minions who do the actual work.

Leaders get their photos taken, bluster on the news, and shake that utter cnt Zelensky’s hand.

Liars definitely does a better job of representing what’s going on.
