The Lie of the Macrocosm and The Lie of the Microcosm
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels
The Lie of the Macrocosm > Man-Made Global Warming
The Lie of the Microcosm > Man-Transmitted Global Pandemic
In the late 1970s, the big lie of Man-Made Climate Catastrophe was created. There was no evidence whatsoever that any of these extreme claims were true. Of course, neither was there any hard evidence that these extreme claims were false. During this period the propagandists (see Dr. Goebbels) relentlessly repeated their big lie. It took decades for the hard evidence to come in. Even then repeated disinformation campaigns (see the hockey stick) continued to gaslight the public with this huge lie. This lie caused a disastrous curtailment of American heavy industry, the loss of tens of millions of high paying jobs, and a steady increase in the cost of living for every American.
That was The Lie of the Macrocosm. We have now moved into the era of The Lie of the Microcosm, an inordinate fear of infectious disease. Again it is much the same scenario. We start in the position of a lack of hard knowledge to either confirm or deny the lie, so the propagandists exploit this by repeating the lie relentlessly. As the hard data has come in giving us enough data to realize we have been gaslighted, the disinformation campaign is started to keep people under the controlling fear they first fell victim to. (see the second wave.) The ill-effects of the lie are manifest. A huge unemployment rate and a crippled economy. An attempt to pervert a crucial election. Finally, an attempt to cash in on the panic with false solutions that will make the manipulators rich while everyone else suffers.
Dr. Goebbels is such a good teacher in this. “It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” It is imperative that we fight these lies with the truth. Remember it is the truth that our enemies fear the most. Let’s give them more of the truth than they can stand and show them no mercy.
They aren’t just our enemies, they are the enemies of mankind.

Published in General
Initially, to prop up the Macrocosm of the Big Pandemic Lie, Youtube featured a lot of videos of Fauci and Bill Gates smugly discussing the technical aspects of social distancing, mask wearing, and the expected second and third waves of COVID fatalities.
But rather than impressing the public with the idea that this was a doomsday virus that no one could conquer, so many people made jeering remarks about the Duo of Death that many of those initial videos have gone missing.
However, what is coming into my area of the country as a second wave is all the San Francisco Bay area tourists. Apparently most of them listen to legacy news stations and are convinced that COVID cases are increasing, and then that fact means each of us is just one maskless store visitor away from death. The information that most COVID cases end up being minor or even asymptomatic has not reached the legacy news stations yet.
Carol,
Yes, exactly. This is phase II of the gaslighting. There is now hard evidence that there isn’t a second wave threat, so those involved in the lie turn up the volume to keep everyone in a state of fear. If they let down the truth will come out and that will be the end of it.

Nice bit of “official ranking of Activities with regards to COVID infection”
Where did you get that chart?
Carol,
The gaslighter’s dream come true.
