Recently, I reread Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and this passage struck me:
You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I
am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appalls me. There is a
taint of death, a flavor of mortality in lies--which is exactly what I hate and
detest in the world--what I want to forget. It makes me miserable and sick,
like biting something rotten would do.
I immediately
thought about our national life; it's one big lie. Media commentators and
Democratic Party hacks (Gavin
Newsom, Nancy
Pelosi, Kamala
Harris, etc.) claim that Joe Biden is a mentally competent and fully
functioning adult--that he has all his marbles and is making rational policy
decisions based on moral considerations and our national interests. But
that's a lie.
Biden is
suffering from severe cognitive decline and dementia. The symptoms grow worse with
each passing week. Everyone knows it, and the refusal of our political and
media elites to be honest about the President’s mental health is frightening.
President Biden,
the Democratic Party leadership, and the legacy media insist Biden is running
for a second term. That’s another lie. The puppeteers in the White House
rafters have already chosen Biden’s successor. I predict the new candidate will be announced this
summer shortly before the Democratic Party's National Convention. I believe that Michelle
Obama, not Joe Biden, will be on the presidential ballot next November.
I feel sure
that Biden’s handlers have already written the presidential decree pardoning Joe's
son Hunter and other family members of all their crimes. Undoubtedly, the
President has already signed that decree in case he keels over prematurely in
the coming months or is incapacitated by a stroke.
Our war
in Ukraine is another lie. Ukraine is losing that war, which has produced millions of refugees and
perhaps a million battle casualties. Although our government is lying about
it, the United States is directly at war with Russia, a nuclear power. For
what?
The people
propagating these gross lies don’t care that they are hiding the truth. Perhaps,
as Joseph Goebbels suggested, they have lied so many times that they’ve come to
believe the lies themselves.
However, I
think the White House press officers, the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington
Post know they’re lying about the Biden administration. And I think they
know that Americans don’t believe the bullshit they’re spewing.
They don’t care
that they’re being written off as liars and dissemblers. Why? The mainstream
press doesn't give a damn whether the American people think the press is trustworthy, and that’s scary.
