Told my kids about the lies
Now that my book (DiaryOfCovid.com)
is in the hands of four of my five daughters (the fifth is only nine,
and I'm going to let her have a nice childhood without burdening her
with gratuitous stories of evil), informal discussions have begun here
and there.
They of course
lived through the madness, but didn't know the details quite as well as
their old man, who of course focused on those details obsessively.
Sitting
down and explaining from scratch what happened, as I've been doing
around the Woods household, is a surreal experience. The crazy things
that have to come out of your mouth in order to convey the actual events
of those days, months, and years, are truly arresting.
Well,
remember the phrase "trust the science," three words it is now
impossible to hear without bursting into contemptuous laughter?
They just became more idiotic, if you can believe it.
The
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is reporting that according to
an audit released late last week by Auditor General Paul Martin, the
Department of Health "was unable to provide evidence-based documentation
to substantiate 33 Public Health decisions made during the COVID-19
pandemic."
"The department
was unable to provide requested documentation, acknowledging that they
'did not create a compendium or a repository of all of the scientific
articles, papers, publications and analyses it consulted during the
pandemic and therefore we cannot provide a fulsome and detailed list of
all of the evidence consulted and used when recommendations were being
formulated.'"Now
when you said all this stuff was made up out of thin air (they
eventually admitted that even the six-feet rule had no basis in
anything) and there was nothing scientific about it, you were called
every name in the book.
As usual, you were right, and the authorities were lying.
I have a friend who woke up to the anti-scientific nature of what was happening when he saw the "experts" acting like this: | Now
with Covid more or less behind us as an excuse for wicked behavior and
lies, the authorities have moved on. The same people who convinced
Americans that they should be excited about $1200 checks with their
names on them are blaming rising prices (which more than canceled out
whatever benefit Americans got from those $1200 checks) on greedy
American companies, who for reasons never explained suddenly got greedy
all at once: |

Senator
Warren has no curiosity at all as to why, if dramatic rises in consumer
prices can painlessly give companies higher profits, it took them until
just the past couple of years to think of this idea.
So,
again, in order for my daughters to understand the world around them,
I've urged them to adopt this rule of thumb: governments will blame
private actors for crimes they themselves commit. Housing crash in 2008?
Why, we had nothing to do with it! It was "predatory lenders," you see!
Prices going through the roof? Why, we had nothing to do with it! It
was greedy companies, you see!
This
is a tough pill to swallow, so I also tell them not to fall into
despair over problems they can't fix. Yes, we all have a part to play in
creating a better society, but no one of us can accomplish that
directly.
Instead, I urge
them: direct your energies to things that are within your direct
control. Live with a purpose. Take yourself seriously. Have a mission.
Don't drift aimlessly. Focus.
They
know what my goals are for next year in various aspects of my life.
They know I have a system for reaching them. And they know that despite
reporting on truly grim things day after day, I'm in great spirits and
have built the life I want -- despite the SOBs.
My
readers and I are taking 2024 very seriously, and instead of making
frivolous "New Year's resolutions," we're going make next year the best
we've ever had.
The bad
guys want you hopeless and demoralized. Instead, let's systematically
improve whatever areas of our lives need work: finances, relationships,
health, social life, work, whatever it is. Living well is the best
revenge against Klaus Schwab.
I'm closing down my 2024 program in two days, so I hope you'll click and get on in here with us: Tom Woods
