My beautiful Byron,
Well, when will you be reading this? Lets guess, in 2022.
What will the world be like then? I wonder how many of the worst humans lying their way through life today – will be made accountable by then?
I wonder what outcomes we will look back on two years from now when remembering this day, 13 August, 2020.
Today, Trump is President, Johnson is PM, and Brexit is progressing. The Covid Pandemic is still on the increase; about 170,000 people in America are confirmed dead, while most people (with double figure IQ) think those numbers are unreliable. Because governments do not accurately release data on cause of death and prefer to understate the risk of Covid so they can get people ‘Back to work.’
Brexit is clearly harming the economy of Britain far worse than the simple minded supporters imagined. I wonder how the state of Brexit today will look to you two years from now. Perhaps, with a little luck, Johnson, Farage and Cummings will all be serving prison terms and Britain will be prospering as an EU member.
Brexicide I think I will name it. Willfully killing Britain’s economy and with it the future of its next generation. Two years from now I wonder what Johnson/Cummings and Farage’s legacy will be in terms of the British economy?
I guess in two years time we will have a better idea of how many people actually died from Covid. In America many people believe the liar saying Covid is a Liberal hoax – like Republican bikers in Sturgis – and Police departments in Florida – simply refuse to wear masks and believe the Trump misdirection that ‘Its just a little flu.’ People are accustomed to believing only what they choose to believe.
Who Lies wins was not just a good title for the book about Charlotte Adler and British family law, but also about what the world has reduced to. Where the lie has become of equal value to the truth. And who lies most wins for that reason. With Covid it is quite clear that lies do have consequences. Trump says – drink detergent to kill bugs – and some 800 people die because they took his medical advice. Lies, it turns out, are not the equal of truth. By consequence, accountability follows the lie. One way or another.
I still keep up my cautionary approach with Covid awareness. I sure don’t want to get it, even if I do feel healthy and without underlying conditions. We use masks when we have to go out, and generally, we do not go out.
Two years hence you will also know if the schools went back at this time, in August of 2020, as Trump and Johnson are pushing hard for. I think letting kids go to school and get ill may not be good governance, placing the convenience of not having to keep kids at home above their safety. My bet is – many schools do reopen under pressure from Government to do so. And many kids will spread the virus as a result. I hope I am wrong about that.
If you read this for the first time in 2022, as may be the case given the blocks you face in any contact with me, then you will already know the answer to my speculation.
