Mandate Failures

Editor's Note:  I've forgotten where I saw this so I can't link it, but it's certainly worth reading.  Lesson?  Leftists Rule.....Badly.  RK

I was impressed when Rogan had Dr. Robert Malone and Peter McCullough on his show, both of whom have called out the government's and media's vaccine narrative — and rightly so: leftists claimed that COVID couldn't possibly have been a man-made virus from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  Not only was that misinformation, but we now know that Fauci and the feds lied about it from the start.

• Leftists claimed that the lockdown would slow the spread.  That was misinformation.
• Leftists insisted on a six-foot distance rule.  That was misinformation.
• Leftists claimed that cloth masks provided protection from COVID.  That was misinformation.
• Leftists insist that children must be masked.  This is a continuing lie that is destroying children.
• Leftists claimed the vaccine would protect people from catching or spreading COVID.  That was misinformation.
• Leftists claim that more shots make people safer.  Israel's experience shows that this is completely wrong.
• Leftists insisted that ivermectin is deadly and doesn't stop COVID.  That was misinformation.  This stance probably has killed several hundred thousand Americans.
• Leftists insisted that a hydroxychloroquine cocktail (with zinc and an antibiotic, among other things) wouldn't stop COVID.  That was misinformation and that's been known for 18 months now.
• Leftists insist that children must be vaccinated.  That is misinformation and exposes children to a dangerous risk.

I could go on, but I think you get the point: if there's misinformation out there, it's on the left, from Fauci on down.  This means that Malone and McCullough were sharing information, not misinformation.  They struck a blow against a narrative that ensures that the American economy falters, the middle class is destroyed, community connections are broken, kids are broken, and our society is so destroyed that the only hope for saving it would be a vast government program that breaks our constitutional free-market system once and for all.

Marxist teachers indoctrinate students in the religion of communism by teaching them to hate themselves, hate one another, hate their parents, hate their country, and hate their heritage.  Marxists blame society’s ills and people’s personal difficulties on politically incorrect groups (i.e., traditional religious capitalists). Students are taught to view statements from such groups as forms of oppression and to stand up to “evil.”Communist dogmas taught in schools are gaslighted by media and Hollywood propaganda.  Five generations of indoctrinated students are now the leaders of America’s cultural institutions, which are canceling politically incorrect individuals.  Big Tech participates through deplatforming and censorship of news content in social media.

 Communism appeals to the basest aspects of humanity: pride, envy, selfishness, and laziness.  Communism is the quintessential postmodern religion because you are your own god, and you decide what is good or evil so that you can do as you please.  Communism is a choice between evil and good -- a decision made at the spiritual level.

Alas, medicine has debased itself these last two years, so that it may join with the scoundrels of other professions, claim its spoils at the government trough, and cozy up next to the immoral apparatchiks, parasites, and bullies of the State.  Add medicine's scalp to the sizable collection already taken as trophies during the last century's Marxist slaughter of reason and objectivity one profession at a time.  We have public school teachers who refuse to teach, prosecutors who refuse to prosecute, judges who refuse to judge impartially, reporters who refuse to report on anything that might undermine their personal politics, and now health professionals who choose pharmaceutical patronage over patient health.  The professional classes have hollowed themselves out so completely that they stand for nothing aside from whatever talking points they've been handed by the managerial enforcers of State-sanctioned "truth."  Remember, citizens, nothing is correct unless it is politically correct first.  To progress, we must all obey!

Where merit disappeared, dogma took over.  No longer does it matter how much you know but whether you know what the Marxists want you to believe.  Freethinking, originality, and genius have disappeared on university campuses today because those once-treasured gifts are threats to groupthink, political correctness, and obedience.  It is no surprise, then, that students lack all capacity for critical thought and that professors lack all capacity for birthing novel ideas.  Science, as traditionally understood, has always been an investigatory process that almost always augments and replaces majority-held consensuses over time with paradigm shifts fashioned from the radically divergent observations of contrarian thinkers.  However, when diversity of opinion is forbidden and professional careers are killed for wrongthink, then science dies, too, leaving only the mediocre consensus of fools draping themselves in the prestige of science without any inkling of what it requires.  The vacuum created by no longer seeking the talented creates a space for the talentless to reign.  Some of those talentless beneficiaries became medical doctors.  Many of those became willing disciples of Commissar Fauci and his State decrees.  You see, elevating students who never learned to think on their own means elevating professionals who follow orders, not truth.

 We are left with a professional class, then, unable to perform its duties and steeped in contradiction.  Colleges have been dumbed down, but degrees are important.  Politicians condemn U.S. history while profiting from its triumphs.  Marxists decry unearned privilege while promoting unearned privilege.  What remains are "professionals" only capable of going along to get along because they've never known success any other way.  Prestige factories produce cheap products that break easily and do not last.  When you look around at society today, from the lowliest municipal bureaucrat to the president of the United States, it is obvious that the further Marxists have succeeded in destroying professional standards, the more guaranteed it becomes that the meritless will rise in those professions' ranks.  After two years of quackery posing as science, it is clear that medicine is the latest log on the left's bonfire of reason, rationality, achievement, know-how, diligence, and faith.
