I’ve got good news and bad.  I’d apologize for the bad except we all need to know it.  It’s better to temporarily discourage people with the truth than to lie to give them false hope.  Lies have limited shelf life.  Sooner or later, they are exposed.

The good news is that those lying to you today will be revealed as frauds.  The bad news is, that may be just the beginning of the story.

Sadly, fraud is the byword of our world.  The vaccine is safe and effective.  COVID is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.  Two weeks to flatten the curve.  It was mostly a peaceful protest.  I am not a crook.  I did not have sex with that woman.

Perhaps the most blatant example is Dr. Anthony Fauci.  He perfectly embodied the fraudulent spirit of the age when he proclaimed to naysayers, “I am science.”

Those with the slightest grasp of history may recognize the hubris.  Vladimir Lenin likewise proclaimed nonsense to establish his bona fides.

“Communism is omnipotent because it is true,” Lenin declared as a foundational tenet of Marxism.

The logic behind Lenin’s and Fauci’s nonsense is simple.  They need their dogma to be recognized as the truth before anything anyone else’s views may even be uttered.  Any deviation from Lenin’s or Fauci’s talking points then can be reduced to bourgeois lies or “fake news.” 

Lenin’s legacy of omnipotent government replaced religious truth and, at least in Russia, succeeded for seven decades.  All points of view that conflicted in the slightest with communist dogma were banned.  It literally was life-endangering to publicly disagree with the dogma’s absolutism.

Likewise, Fauci needed to shut down dissenting voices that suggested he could be wrong.  He did it by equating himself with “science,” the new god of our age, ironically thanks in part to Lenin.  You’ve probably noticed, to disagree with him publicly has been to invite career ruin and ostracization — and yes, there are even modern budding totalitarians who want you imprisoned.

Lenin’s and Fauci’s obvious frauds also share this: they must be enforced without mercy, without exception.  Any chink in the armor can be fatal to a closed system, which we saw in the early 1990s as Russians began to openly question communist dogma.
