Guest Post by Eric Peters
Orwell wrote about telling the truth being a revolutionary act – in a time of universal deceit. But what led to the time of universal deceit? Such as the one we’re living in right now?
James Kunstler pinned the tail on the totalitarian donkey the other day. He wrote that “a society hostile to truth can’t possibly remain civilized, because it will also be hostile to reality.”
And that explains everything. Makes sense of the otherwise insensible.
How else to explain the hostility toward the telling of truth about – let’s start here – the electric vehicles that the government, via its regulatory regime, is effectively forcing the car industry to manufacture and thus leaving car buyers fewer and fewer new car options that are not “electrified”?
The truth is there would be few, if any, electric vehicles available for sale were it not for the regulatory regime that advantages them and disadvantages their functionally superior competition. The latter being functionally superior – as well as significantly less expensive. Thus accounting for the need to disadvantage them.
These are inarguable truths, just the same as the truth that – if people weren’t paid to buy EVs via subsidies – even fewer would probably buy them than the few who have.
But when you give voice to these truths, the response is not acknowledgement of them but hostility toward those who voice them.
They are accused of all manner of things, including Ludditism and “denying” that the “climate” is “changing” – and thus it is necessary to give up cars with engines that weigh 3,200 pounds that get 35 MPG and cost $30k for cars that cost $50k that weigh 5,000 pounds, about 1,000 pounds of the latter being accounted for by inefficient energy storage devices (the battery packs) that require orders of magnitude more natural resources to be extracted from the Earth putatively being “saved.” As well as massive amounts of electricity to keep them charged – most of which is produced via the burning of hydrocarbon fuels of one kind or another.
Instead of – yeah, you have a point – it is often something like the snarl of an angry Doberman affronted because you got too close to its owner’s yard. How dare you! You have stolen my dreams!
Et cetera.
Whether EVs are interesting in their own way – or have their own virtues, such as silent operation and immediate and forceful acceleration – are entirely beside the point as regards the truths about them being pushed rather than freely desired to a degree sufficient to warrant their being manufactured in large numbers.
But if you say it, expect to experience hostility rather than acknowledgement of the facts. The hostility used to shut-up the truth-teller.
We saw the same – and are still seeing the same – with regard to the truth about “masks.” They did not and do not “stop the spread,” especially if the person wearing the thing hasn’t got anything that is spreadable. You may remember the untruths that were spread about “asymptomatic” spreaders, which is a thing of a piece with a bite from creature that lacks the necessary equipment.
But those who acted in accordance with the truth about “masks” – and questioned the lies being told about them – were treated with a degree of general, widespread hostility never before seen in this country. For a time, it became like another country – its name need not be mentioned – in which people who refused to wear another piece of cloth signifying approbation of a great evil were likewise treated with hate for their refusal to play along with what wasn’t true.
We see the same hostility toward the truth with regard to sex – not the act so much as the facts. Boys and men are male and how they dress and act doesn’t alter the fact. That is a truth.
If they do dress and act like the females they aren’t, then they are impersonating females. In other words, they are what used to be accurately – that is, truthfully – referred to as transvestites. There is no such thing – in truth – as a “transsexual” because it is not biologically possible to “transition” from one sex to the other by changing the clothes one wears or the way one acts or even by surgically and chemically altering the way the body looks. It is still and always will be either a male or a female body. And that is the truth – whether one likes it being as immaterial as whether one likes gravity.
Step off the edge of a cliff and see for yourself.
But to say the truth in these times is to become an object of deranged hostility. Of a piece with the deranged hostility directed at people who would not buy the lies about “masks” and – later – the mRNA drugs pushed on them as the way out of “masking.”
These are, indeed, dangerous times – precisely because the truth is no longer universally respected, however much we may at some times and in some instances be unhappy about it. As for example when we step off the edge of a cliff.
In place of truth, a series of lies – often hysterically hewed-to. It is easy enough to understand why that it is.
When a ship is unmoored, it drifts with the wind, whichever way it blows. A society unmoored from the truth is not much different, except for the fact that the “wind” that steers it is not random.
And neither is the course of the ship.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

If just one person had foreseen how much one man’s lies would fuck up the world and killed him, we would not have the three religions his descendants manifactured to deal with today.
If you kill the three religions, you remove a most of world’s reasons for divisions.
Yep.
If those Canaanites had killed that lying bastard usurer distiller slaver Abram when he dig his first hole in their yard? the world would have been a much nicer place ever since.
yes, the only truths you may need or should desire are those that maintain the infrastructure of your conscience realm, and survival thereof. There is no need to know all truths, nor to expend the valuable energy necessary to investigate. Life would be futile.
What truths define life, your life? Think about that. Truths are defined by ones senses and the ability to evaluate this data (i.e., intelligence) as collected by your senses. And your judgements and conclusions may be biased by your environment, trauma, neglect, indoctrination, etc. Therefore, each individual is entitled to his or her own reality, and as such, realities are individualistic. Thus it can be said that there is no right and wrong, good or bad. Your life is you and the journey to understand and rationalize it is necessary, however fraught it might be with misconceptions and incomplete interpretations.
We are complex beings. And each must make their own journey as they see fit.

Yep.
The first great lie, “you shall be as God”.. now we get all of it’s manifestations, “you are entitled to your own reality”.. “make your own truth”… nothing new under the sun. Man still falls for this concept of self-godhood over and over, until the other lie from the garden comes into play…..
“you shall surely not die”… but eat they did and die they did–and so will you. At that time you will find out REAL truth and that you are NOT a God who gets to decide truth.
The first great lie, “you shall be as God”.
Right.
“You are gods.”
Your turn.
Taking scripture completely out of context is not a good thing. For example:
…you are gods…
Who is being spoken to? Who is doing the speaking?
Read the rest of the verse/verses-if one is truly wanting the meaning…
Ok.
Provide the context.
Muddy the waters much?
yes, the only truths
I never said “only” you stupid prick.
You will be judged unrighteous and cast into the fiery abyss
No I won’t.
And why would a God of “Love” keep you alive forever in torment for making a mistake?
Being tormented forever for even 100 years of deliberate sins is totally out of proportion.
Seems to me, a loving God would simply erase the evil from existence.
Keeping evil people alive forever in pain seems excessive vindictive and immature.
You don’t understand because you don’t want to understand.
You worship a vindictive mist.
True that.
It sort of gives the lie to God loves everyone. My belief in God does not include a belief that He loves everyone on the planet. Two Biblical examples, whether or not you believe them, Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah.
The wages of sin is death, permanent death.
Jews manipulate details to get the desired results better than you or anyone, but keep on trying, scrub.
By who?
You?
Bring it on church boi
It is simple.
If you can not discover the moral laws implied by the natural life cycles,
You are doomed to being duped repeatedly in life.
“For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.”
If jesus is the only path, what is this one?
Sounds like a second option to me.
I picked the second one.
“You are gods”
“Do not place your faith in the nobles or sons of man, to whom no salvation belongs. ”
I solved and decoded their propaganda manual!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
There basically IS NO “clean water” anywhere in North America proper. Over 90% of all free flowing waters are contaminated with giardia from beaver shit. You’re either gonna have to boil it or filter it.

Well water, OTOH, might be a better choice, but then you’re stuck living by a hole in the ground until it…or you…dries up.
Your path will always dictate your needs.
You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality
Ayn Rand
Or?
Karma ran over his dogma.
My reality is nothing like your reality. So, who’s reality is the genuine article? The answer is none.
Do you believe stepping right in front of a semi truck barreling past you at 60mph will be deleterious to your health ? If so ,then you have identified just the very wee beginning of your starting point for where all of our perceptions of reality are in agreament .
Yep.
The truth can be had by studying the natural cycles!
Simple- There is no spoon. The bald headed kid got it perfectly.
Do you have the courage to face a different reality, Carperteria? Can you take the time to explore something outside of your thought process range? Don’t say I didn’t spend the last 8 years here predicting this.

Raised my kids fairly simple. Don’t lie, don’t cheat and don’t steal.
It’s real easy, man
They won’t make it then?
RD- Simple minds, excellent choice.
Thanks.
Reality is the same, everywhere and always.
It is what exists, without you.
It is the perception of this reality that differs between individuals.
And that differs greatly from individual to individual.
At a certain point, the perception of reality diverges from the actual reality sufficiently for it to become an existential issue.
These excesses are generally referred to as mental illnesses.
But even back safely under the Gaussian curve’s bell, the perception of reality can be as disparate as “Your worst nightmares are my wildest dreams…” .
Well said!
All of these tin-pot self godhood types will be dust one day and yet reality and universal truths remain. Their beliefs ( deceptions) of them “making my own reality/truth” dies with them from one of the ultimate truths, ” it is appointed unto men to die, and then the judgement.”
Their physical body will be dust but this physical body is not what lives forever.
Saw an article on natural news that say when CO2 levels get too low it causes a major extinction event. No wonder the demos and WEF are pushing lowering CO2 levels so hard. Makes perfect sense now.
And try asking a statist if the government needs consent of the governed? If the statist will even concede the point, then ask what legal evidence of consent has ever been given? Then watch the deer in headlights in the eyes as they can’t understand what legal evidence even is. They start blabbing about you can move so you consent, which isn’t considered consent in any court on the planet for anything, ever.
