The Whole Truth & Nothing But the Truth

‘The judge asked: “Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?”

The ten words “The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”, gets to the crucial point in this phrase used for centuries to “quicken the conscience” of those giving testimony in court. A lie is commonly what we might call a half-truth – or even mostly all true! It’s simply not the whole truth. We’ve all seen the crime shows where the evidence all appears to lead to one conclusion. But at the last minute, another piece of evidence reveals the falsehood and the true criminal. Indeed, partial truths are frequently used to support a grand lie.

Thus, the grand lie of evolution starts with the truth of adaptation and natural selection. But then are added untruths, conjecture and wishful thinking on the part of rebellious mankind. And natural selection – to support evolution – becomes a grand lie. The truth is that natural selection cannot migrate out from the created “kinds” – the distinct species groups. The truth is that natural selection and mutations cannot add new creation, new complexity and new information to the genome. It can only shuffle the genetics that are already there!

 The truth is that in nature the laws of probability are governed and indeed overwhelmed by the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics – the incessant move toward increasing entropy (disorder). The truth is that new specified complexity requires an outside energy and intelligence! The truth is that creation requires God.

Epitomizing the Nazi genius of propaganda under Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels famously and correctly said: “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will come to believe it yourself.” Herein lies the secret to the grand lie of evolution, and to so much of the other disinformation being thrust upon us in the world today.

Climate Change as Climate Alarmism, for example, begins with the undeniable truth that climate changes. But added to a few truths about greenhouse gases are a lot of assumptions, conjecture and agenda-driven grant money for desired research outcomes with computer models. Another grand lie then becomes the drumbeat that is heard everywhere and has been now for 30+ years: We must unite globally to reset world economics and save the planet!

 Subverting democracy under the pretense of protecting it is another grand lie. The lie includes people saying: “We must suppress their ‘disinformation’” (which is frequently truth) “in order to advance ‘our truth’” (which is frequently disinformation). And so they feel we don’t actually need free speech at all! They want more authoritarian powers to target political opponents who dissent from their approved narratives – whether that be disagreement with school boards about gender confusion and race theory indoctrination, or disagreement about COVID policy, or pointing out the various problems in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. They cannot and will not allow true reporting or debate on these issues!

Interestingly, Goebbels also said, “This is the secret of propaganda: those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.” This is the great subtlety of the deception.

These grand lies are from “the father of [lies]” (John 8:44), “which deceiveth the whole world” (Revelation 12:9), i.e., the devil. And they are quite ugly upon examination. Lies, like any evil thing, are inherently ugly. Nobody, not even the worst perpetrators of the worst crimes, would honestly describe immoral acts as “beautiful”. The morally deformed is not beautiful.

 Here is where the truth of Biblical Christianity also shines through uniquely. We believe in the Creator Almighty who established His original perfect order and is truly glorious in His perfection. In addition, we define human nature as inherently flawed because of Adam and Eve’s decision to disobey God and to listen to the devil. Understanding the truth about man’s depravity is satisfying because it is true and makes our redemption all the more lovely! Our liberty in Christ from the ugly bondage of evil is truly a beautiful thing!

Truth is vital. Without truth, we are left, in the end, with meaninglessness. We are left unable to detect propaganda, lies and disinformation. Therefore, we are at the mercy of evil, as well as despair. But the absolute truth of God – His righteousness and complete integrity, His omniscience and holiness, His love of liberty and His word – grounds us with meaning, purpose, joy and goodness so that we are able to trust Him and love Him.

 We rightly appreciate the created beauty and freedom that God has given us. It is ultimately an appreciation of perfection – a perfection which derives from and is a joyous, marvelous reflection of the truth and nature and personality of the Lord. He is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And that truth is beautiful! As the poet John Keats wrote, “Beauty is truth, truth is beauty.”

Divine beauty is characteristic of God and is vastly superior to even the very best of created splendors. Our great calling is to dwell in His house, “to gaze upon His beauty and to inquire in His temple,” as the Psalmist expresses his desire. The Lord is the purest loveliness and the very essence of joy and wisdom, perfect in all His ways without end.

So it is no wonder that saints throughout the centuries have experienced an inexpressible delight in worship, prayer and studying His word, even though the Truth is veiled in this fallen world. Through the lenses of our redeemed nature, we can appreciate the Lord as we survey the reflections of His creation. We were redeemed for an interior, supernatural joy as we indulge and even over-indulge our new nature! It is the meaning of “to be blessed”.

“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:25). May you be blessed in the indulging of the new nature that is given us through faith in our great Creator and Redeemer, looking into the perfect law of liberty and continuing therein!’https://creationmoments.com/newsletter/joyous-islands-of-truth-in-the-worlds-vast-sea-of-lies/?mc_cid=5ecb7de1ed&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

Australia’s Booster Jab Madness

Posted by whatyareckon on February 12, 2022

Do these politicians read anything that declares how lethal these vaccines are to the health of the person? ‘The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has updated its advice on booster shots as expected after weeks of lobbying by some state premiers.

Any Australian who is 16 or older will be required to keep their Covid vaccination schedule ‘up to date’ to be considered ‘fully vaccinated’. Currently, this will mean three shots of an approved vaccination.

Six months after the second dose, a person’s vaccination will be considered ‘out of date’. ATAGI’s recommendation does not apply to children, who will continue to be considered fully vaccinated after two doses.

This matters for those states still using the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ for vaccine passports systems, such as Victoria, where people will be required to go and get a booster shot if they want to be able to access most parts of the economy.

National Cabinet met to discuss the issue and have agreed to update the mandatory vaccination regulation to three doses only for Aged Care (at this point in time).

The Prime Ministers, premiers, and chief ministers were unable to come to an agreement on the scope so, as predicted earlier in the week and following statements by the Prime Minister, international travellers will still only require two doses to enter Australia as ‘fully vaccinated’.

Tourists with two doses could be left in the lurch, as there is yet no guarantee that they will be allowed to enter into states with triple dose mandates.

State premiers and chief ministers have already expressed their intention to update their mandatory vaccination regulations across a wide range of industries. This will means that hundreds of thousands of workers will be required to get a booster shot if they want to keep their jobs.

The Northern Territory, for example, declared its intention to require booster shots by March 11, 2022 back in January. “All workers under the mandatory vaccination direction will be required to have a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. This will be done in two phases and applies to all people aged 18 years and over. Workers in high risk settings will be required to have their booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by 11 march 2022,” states their official health website. The deadline for all workers is Friday 22 April, 2022.

Daniel Andrews, Premier of Victoria, has announced that he will give workers is certain essential industries four weeks to go and get their booster shot representing a one month extension to an earlier deadline. The Premier has also threatened to update the vaccine passport system to include booster shots, which will mean that people must seek out a booster shot to continue to access restaurants, bars, shops, pubs, and stadiums.’https://www.rebelnews.com/three_doses_required_to_be_up_to_date_in_australia?utm_campaign=rb_02_11_2022&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel

What Has Happened to Reporters?

‘When I worked at the New York Times, I don’t think I ever wrote a Spiderman story.

What’s a Spiderman story?

That now-famous meme:

A Spiderman story is any investigative piece where the side the reporter is attacking can say EXACTLY the same things about the other side.

You’re misinforming!

No, you!

No, you!

No, you!

… ad infinitum.

I wrote lots of investigative pieces (mostly about drug and other medical companies) in the 10-plus years I worked for the New York Times; I’m proud of them. Some are still quoted, more than a decade after I left.

Here’s how I viewed my job: finding, investigating, and reporting on criminal/quasi-criminal and concealed/quasi-concealed corporate behavior.

All those words matter. Executives usually try to avoid breaking the law overtly. They don’t like prison. Prison isn’t fun. They prefer golf. (I’m not entirely sure why.)

Of course, there are exceptions. A few executives, like Elizabeth Holmes, are frauds basically from the jump. Other will cross the line when the walls are cracking and they get desperate. But generally, well-lawyered companies prefer to look for loopholes.

If paying a physician directly to prescribe your drug is illegal, offer volume “rebates” for drugs administered directly by physicians.

Or create a “naturalistic” clinical trial – where the physician receives hundreds of dollars for filling out a one-page form every time she enrolls a patient.

Or offer a free, all-expenses paid continuing education seminar for physicians about “new treatments” at a ski area, and keep the schedule light. And hire “key opinion leaders” – other physicians – to give the seminars – you can pay them, they’re working. And pay those KOLs to “consult” with your marketing division about the best ways to promote your drug.

You get the idea. When the product is a pill that costs pennies to make and can be sold for dollars (or sometimes hundreds of dollars), there’s LOTS of money sloshing around. You just need to put it to work.

So criminal OR quasi-criminal.

And concealed OR quasi-concealed. Obviously, companies will not go out of their way to describe clearly illegal behavior – cash in bags, et cetera. Getting at that usually requires whistleblowers (another topic) and internal documents.

But public companies have strict disclosure requirements. And pharma companies have to provide data to the Food and Drug Administration both before and after their products are approved and register their human clinical trials prospectively with the National Institutes of Health (they didn’t always). And lawsuits and the discovery process can also be great sources, which is yet another reason the vaccine immunity is so problematic.

So the truth – some version of the truth – is out there. Getting to it is often an iterative process – write a story, people talk, more documents come out, write another story, new evidence arrives in your email, et cetera. Bethany McLean did this brilliantly with Enron 20 years ago.

But please – pretty please – note two facts about the process I am describing.

First, it is a process of finding HIDDEN facts and data.

Second, Spiderman is nowhere near it. When Eli Lilly tried to hide the dangers of its drug Zyprexa from doctors treating people with schizophrenia – among the most vulnerable people in the world – nobody said the people with schizophrenia were hiding anything from Eli Lilly.

That’s investigative reporting. Bringing hidden facts to light. Protecting people who cannot protect themselves from companies with vast resources – armies of lawyers and marketers.

What Elizabeth Dwoskin (who, by the way, did not include me in her Washington Post story today – either she or her editors must have realized how terrible that would look after what I posted late last night) – is nothing of the sort. It is opinion and argument, pure and simple.

Why?

NOTHING ABOUT WHAT I AM DOING IS HIDDEN. The opposite: I present my findings every day in as close to real time as possible. And I have no hidden financial conflicts of interest.

AND READERS PROVIDE THE VAST MAJORITY OF MY INCOME. Either directly through Substack and Amazon or indirectly through publishers like Regnery and Simon & Schuster – who offer me advances in the hope they will sell enough books to recoup them, and pay me a portion of the money they make after those advances have earned out.

Investigative reporting would be: discovering that I’m lying about this and some bad actor is funding me. (Who? I even don’t know – the Russian government, maybe?) Which would be impossible, because it’s not true.

Investigative reporting would be: discovering that I have been making up sources or lying about what the documents I present say. Also impossible, because it’s not true.

Instead these people who call themselves reporters basically say, what you are saying is wrong – and not merely wrong, misinformation – because the Centers for Disease Control says so.

What?

I say again, WHAT?

You’re not Spiderman, I’m Spiderman!

I am reporting and have reported that public health authorities have vastly overestimated the efficacy of the vaccines for more than year and are presenting their data in a way that is effectively false. To say the CDC disagrees with me is not to shoot me down; it is to confirm what I am saying.

And it is not reporting, it is stenography of government institutions.

If these people had been covering Robert McNamara we’d still be in Vietnam.’https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/what-has-happened-to-reporters

Do the Vaccines Work?

The government officials say “Get vaccinated”! This will stop the spread of the virus and if you do get it you will not get as sick plus your going to hospital is less likely. Oh, is that correct?

‘The Greek-Australian community is in shock following the death of James Kondilios, a fit and healthy 23-year-old.

The young powerlifter and science graduate was double vaccinated and did not have any underlying health conditions when he tested positive for COVID-19.

Mr Kondilios died at Sydney’s St Vincent’s Hospital where he had been receiving treatment following severe complications with the virus.’https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/coronavirus/friends-and-family-left-shocked-by-death-of-double-vaccinated-23yearold-with-no-underlying-medical-conditions/news-story/03bafe97d6855b4a0b7e0297b7552f83?utm_source=SkyNews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Editorial&utm_content=SN_DAILY_PM_01&net_sub_id=282058248&type=curated&position=1&overallPos=2

Young, healthy and DOUBLE VACCINATED but still he died! Why all this madness to get even the children involved in this madness? Is there an underlying purpose to all this and if so, perhaps it’s not really for our health?

Covid Vaccines & Myocarditis Problems

Posted by whatyareckon on January 7, 2022

‘A huge new study has found the risk of serious heart problems called myocarditis in men under 40 soars with each dose of a Covid mRNA vaccine – and is sharply higher than the risk from a coronavirus infection itself.

The findings call into sharp question the efforts by American colleges and universities to make their students receive booster shots before returning to school this January – especially since other studies have shown that the risk of post-vaccine myocarditis is concentrated not merely in men under 40 but in those aged 16-25.

The study, which British researchers released in late December, showed that the risk of myocarditis almost doubled after the first Pfizer shot in men under 40. Then it doubled again after the second and doubled again after the third – to almost eight times the baseline risk.

SOURCE: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.23.21268276v1.full.pdf

For the Moderna vaccine, the risks were even higher, reaching 16-fold after the second shot. (The risk of a third Moderna shot could not be calculated because too few people received it.)

Because each Moderna shot contains 100 micrograms of mRNA, while each Pfizer shot contains 30, the findings suggest strongly that the heart risks are dose-related and likely to continue to rise with each additional shot.

The study also contained some evidence that post-vaccine myocarditis might be more dangerous than other forms of myocarditis. It showed a trend towards higher death rates in people hospitalized for myocarditis after vaccination compared to other myocarditis cases.

Both myocarditis and pericarditis are forms of heart inflammation that can be very serious, even deadly. In an appendix, the researchers reported that 263 Britons were hospitalized for myocarditis within four weeks of receiving a Pfizer shot; of those, 38, or 14 percent, died. Only about 9 percent of people hospitalized for myocarditis that did not follow an mRNA vaccination died.

The researchers did not look at other potential cardiovascular risks, such as heart attacks or irregular heartbeats, although American and European databases of post-vaccine side effects contain many reports of those as well.

The findings come even as many colleges and universities – including public schools like the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, large private schools such as Syracuse University, and Ivy League institutions such as Princeton University – demand that their students receive a booster Covid shot before returning to campus.

For nearly all these students, an mRNA shot is the only viable option, as the Johnson & Johnson shot is no longer in common use.

These colleges are likely subjecting their male students to a risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, a related illness, that is much higher than the overall risk of Covid, which is vanishingly small for healthy teenagers and young adults. Many larger universities are likely to have multiple cases of male students hospitalized for myocarditis as a result of the mandates.

The massive study was is based on data from 42 million Britons who received at least one Covid vaccine dose, including roughly 22 million who received the mRNA vaccines.

About half were given the mRNA vaccines, while the rest received AstraZeneca’s DNA/AAV vaccine, which is not available in the United States. The AstraZeneca vaccine, which works similarly to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, had a lower risk of myocarditis than mRNA vaccines.’https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/more-bad-news-on-covid-vaccines-and/comments?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0MjUyOTI1MiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDY1OTQ4ODIsIl8iOiJVK25PRyIsImlhdCI6MTY0MTUwMjg3MywiZXhwIjoxNjQxNTA2NDczLCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMzYzMDgwIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.eJ995DJ1wtrVu2u_IxwMRl3fyozAS6pg_Inr05voriU

Yep, Disney+ Bows to China

It really comes as no surprise that ‘Disney+ has censored an episode of The Simpsons in Hong Kong, where the streaming service recently launched. The episode was censored over references to the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Until June last year, Hong Kong operated separately from China. Hong Kongers enjoyed more freedoms than the mainland.

However, since Beijing enforced the national security law in Hong Kong, the censorship laws enforced in China started applying on the island. 

On social media, Disney+ subscribers began reporting that an episode in Season 16 had been removed in Hong Kong. 

We’ve managed to confirm that the Season 16 episode “Goo Goo Gai Pan” has been removed in Hong Kong.

The episode had two references to the Tiananmen Square massacre. It featured the famous Tank Man Photo and a plaque with the statement “Tien An Men Square: On this site, in 1989, nothing happened.” People often use the statement to mock the government’s attempts to erase the event from history.

In China references to the Tiananmen Square massacre are heavily censored and is called the “Tiananmen Square Incident.” 

On June 4, 1989, in an effort to stop a protest by students about corruption in the government and democratic reforms, the Chinese government sent the army to Tiananmen Square with tanks. The exact death toll from the clash between protesters and the army has never been released, although it is speculated to be in the thousands. 

Before the enforcement of the national security law, Hong Kongers held vigils to commemorate the incident every year. The Hong Kong government went as far as shutting down a museum that displayed exhibits to commemorate the event.’https://reclaimthenet.org/disney-censors-the-simpsons-episode-with-tiananmen-square-reference-in-hong-kong/

Commie in Charge of the Banks!?

Is America savable? Not if the following is allowed. ‘President Joe Biden’s nominee to regulate banks stole hundreds of dollars of merchandise from a discount retail store, according to a police report revealed Wednesday.

Saule Omarova, whom Biden tapped to serve as Comptroller of the Currency, was arrested after she was caught stuffing $214 worth of clothes, shoes, cologne, and belts in her purse at a T.J. Maxx in Madison, Wis., in May 1995. Omarova was 28 years old at the time and studying for her doctorate at the University of Wisconsin.

Omarova is slated to appear before the Senate Banking Committee for her confirmation hearing Thursday. If confirmed, Omarova will oversee regulation of the country’s banking system. The police report, published by the American Accountability Foundation, could get her into further hot water with Senate Republicans who say she supports radical economic policies.

Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.), the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, has pressed Omarova to turn over a copy of a thesis she wrote on Karl Marx while studying at Moscow State University in the late 1980s. Omarova, who attended the school on a Lenin scholarship, scrubbed her résumé of a reference to the Marx thesis at some point over the last few years.

Omarova, a professor at the Cornell Law School, has said she wants to “end banking as we know it” by requiring bank deposits to be held with the Federal Reserve, rather than private banks. Omarova has also proposed the creation of a federal agency, the National Investment Authority, that would fulfill the goals of the Green New Deal by investing in infrastructure projects. Omarova said one goal of the National Investment Authority would be for oil and gas companies to go “bankrupt” in order to fight climate change.

Omarova will likely need unanimous Democratic support in order to be confirmed, but some moderates have expressed concern about her views. Sen. Jon Tester (D., Mont.), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, said he has not decided whether he will vote to confirm Omarova. Sens. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.) are reportedly on the fence about her nomination.

The White House downplayed the theft allegations against Omarova in a statement to Fox News prior to the release of the police report. A White House spokesperson said Omarova has been “fully transparent” about the incident by disclosing it to the Senate Banking Committee, and that her arrest was the result “of a misunderstanding and confusing situation.”

The police report contradicts that claim. According to the report, Omarova “admitted to have stolen the items,” which consisted of four pairs of shoes, two bottles of cologne, two belts, and a pair of socks.

Omarova did not respond to a request for comment.’https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/saule-omarova-stole-hundreds-of-dollars-of-merchandise-from-a-t-j-maxx/
