Very little.<br />The main sad thing to deal with is the increasing disconnection we (those who refuse to give up the inner knowing) have with the rest of humanity. But I would ask: are they even really human? I no longer feel that I am losing that much.<br />The only people and beings I wish to consort with are those who are still connected to truth. Thus, I haven't really lost anything. <br />And what have I to fear? That some goons will hold me down and inject me with a vaccine I don't want? Not here, anyway. Voluntary compliance will be so massive that they won't really need to forcibly inject holdouts.<br /><br />It's all rather tiring, however... having to listen to nonsense. I don't watch TV. I don't listen to NPR (National Propaganda Radio). When I turn the radio on for a minute or two once or twice a week, it's insane: corona corona corona corona corona corona.<br />Yawn.<br />Jacob Gitteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559764359800682222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-13662056782926017772020-04-16T17:12:57.837+01:002020-04-16T17:12:57.837+01:00What has been most strange to me is how even many ...What has been most strange to me is how even many within the Dissident Right, people who usually are very hostile and mistrusting of the Establishment, suddenly trust the state on this issue.<br /><br />In fact, here in Sweden where the government so far have been quite modest in its reaction many right-wingers fault the government for not assuming totalitarian powers soon enough!

I think part of it is the serious /ominous tone (because it's ubiquitous in the media they consume): "yes politicians are corrupt, but they wouldn't lie about something *this serious*!"Joehttp://m0k.ca/writing/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-42794103577073329842020-04-16T14:20:28.925+01:002020-04-16T14:20:28.925+01:00I've heard it said that "only the small s...I've heard it said that "only the small secrets need to be protected - the big ones are kept secret by public incredulity."<br /><br />The little lie is a deviation from truth that can be noticed and rectified. The big lie is usually a full inversion of truth and therefore lies within the human blindspot a full 180 degrees out of their "vision". They simply cannot conceive of it.<br /><br />Only a belief in the existence of cosmic evil can allow one to discern the truth in these times.Moonspherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015070450886972955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-92174946306732517392020-04-16T14:04:29.740+01:002020-04-16T14:04:29.740+01:00@William - Yes.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."<br /><br />IMO Christians (including devout churchoers and active church members) are much too prone to lying, especially at the workplace and professionaly - failing to acknowledge and repent this. <br /><br />We should recognise that when Jesus describes the devil in this way, he is indicating that lies are intrinsically evil and sinful.

Then we become mouldable into any shape the power elite chooses. We become ideological slaves. This has been going on for decades with all the politically correct nonsense but is happening at an alarming pace now with the current pestilence panic.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-39955910051230975762020-04-16T10:32:24.521+01:002020-04-16T10:32:24.521+01:00Excellent point.

You've drawn attention to a disturbing phenomenon - one that should be rather obvious at this point, but is mysteriously not. <br /><br />It's mind numbing to consider that we consistently demand solutions to problems from the very people who precipitate the problems.<br /><br />In connection with your post from yesterday, I suspect the potential upcoming Antichrist focus will be the greatest lie of all. Whatever solution is presented will surely serve as the capstone of this pyramid of lies. And I imagine most people will embrace it with open arms.
