There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "…truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity–it is simply true and that is the end of it" – Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
Anti-Science Right-Wingers Protest Common Sense COVID Restrictions — Babylon Bee
SHANGHAI — According to sources, thousands of right-wing, anti-science extremists have converged in Shanghai to protest Chinese President Xi’s common sense COVID restrictions.
“These science deniers are extremely dangerous,” said CCP Propaganda Minister Yin-Yon Yangalong. “Our benevolent President Xi has locked thousands of people in their homes for several weeks for their own safety. This is a very compassionate and pro-science policy and anyone who questions it is a right-wing bigot.”
The minister went on to explain that thousands have already been saved from COVID as they have starved to death or burned to death locked in their own apartments. “After extensive scientific research, we found that dead people are completely safe from being infected with COVID,” he said, smiling.
Biden has offered his support to protestors in a public statement, saying: “Come on, man! Flarpjack mibbymufflins! Lardledoo!” The administration, however, quietly pledged support for President Xi, promising they would work with tech companies to silence dissent whenever possible.
At publishing time, Canadian PM Trudeau had also offered to help President Xi, citing his experience with trucker protests.
