Starvation seems to be the next big thing in the political pipeline - wilful destruction of global agricultural resources. Blind - I don’t think.

Quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.“ ~ George Santayana

And its corollary: "Those who learned from the past are condemned to watch as others repeat it."

Loved your article. Did you know Malcolm Muggeridge wrote a fantastic book on Mother Teresa called "Something Beautiful for God"? Please read. Malcolm gave tribute to the ministry of Mother Teresa, and they corresponded. Malcolm became a Christian led to the Savior by the testimonies of a tiny little nun called Mother Teresa. We live to give God glory and to love and serve others. This world may never see us, never give honor and even hate us, that is OK as long as God loves us.

I keep thinking of the millions of young people the world over who were forced into taking that shot and continue to be - when they try to have children - heaven only knows what possible consequences there will be. Dr. McCullough and all of the others like Dr. Kory, Nass, Marik and Verone can sleep well at night, knowing they saved untold lives and tried to warn the world.

"One of the most bizarre features of our bizarre time is that an experimental, gene transfer technology has become an object of unshakable devotion. Among members of the COVID-19 Vaccine Cult, belief in the substance (about which they know nothing) is an article of faith."

Well said!

very nice parallel... also tells us how much we are learning from our past, and how we are making great societal progress... not.

There is an excellent movie on Prime “ Mr Jones” that deals with this exact topic, I found it to be enlightening.

Dr Peter McCullough is a giant oak tree under whom we have found shade, solace and insight His acorns of truth have been spread and have taken root. The forest is alive and on the move.

Yup - Narcissists for whom promoting a worldview that supports their false self-image and allows them to amass power, prestige and profit are very skilled at what they do, and the most skilled form Cults of Personality. Those cults have disciples who promote the narrative and armies of flying monkeys who swarm anyone who doesn't get with the program.

John, which is even worse - pretty scary to think about the power that's in these people's hands, however, if the world would wake up, they couldn't do what they are doing.

Excellent. Thank you for this post.

Goes a massive way to explain the vast chasm between the woke & the woke up!

These same tactics were employed by the popery in the dark ages. The world appears to be re-entering the dark ages and repeating the same mistakes, except this time it is on a world wide scale.

The White Army vectored out of the Crimea and the Don/Volga confluence north towards the Red Army defending Moscow. But, say the rabid anti-communists, it was the Red Army stole all the grain and caused the famine. Just old cold war propaganda from the old nutter right.

My parents lived through this period in Ukraine and experienced many other atrocities. For a a view of the life and sorvival by poor people read my story "Lydias Child" by Valentine Kirychenko. All proceeds of the sales are directed to Ukrainian Charity for children.

Your lead seems to join a very recent recital (https://undsoc.org/2022/09/18/malcolm-muggeridge-on-the-holodomor/). Revisiting that old history is useful https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/nov/18/ukraine-famine-russia-holodomor and in much more detail https://www.garethjones.org/soviet_articles/soviet_and_the_peasantry_2.htm (more on that site). Perhaps an important point relates to Russia claims on the region where this happened, Ukraine's Donbas. Not so reported was the relocation of Russians to the area to repopulate which, as you might imagine, has stirred a resentment in the area from the nominal Ukrainian residents. Thus the area has a complex history that few even begin to appreciate. Prior to 2014, region citizens who spoke both Russian and Ukrainian nearly interchangeably were tolerant with each other. Russia has since 2014 (many say 2009) been causing divisions. Who might accept that post Holodomor citizens would freely vote to join Russia? The current war seems related to the inability of Russia to prevail in the Donbas.

Back to your original point, we see biased reporting and think we understand. The CoV Trusted News Initiative has tried to control the narrative and along the way demonized any who might oppose or question the narrative. This has added to the insults of terrible, failed policies which have harmed many more people beyond the reputations of solid scientists. Aside from failed policies, we also now see that the thing that was to save society, mRNA vaccines, might even be causing damage. And instead of apologies we get pleas for amnesty, forgiveness.

It will take some time to expose the details of the failures. I'm not much of advocate for assessing blame or taking retribution. But we need a serious housecleaning to remove those who created the policies and serious questioning of why there was no internal pushback from objective scientists. How could objective, highly trained scientists not see the damage to the public?
