A blindness that can't be pierced by evidence, and a light that can't be put out by darkness.
The only thing that can fight the blindness is prayer.
I had a conversation tonight at a sort of extended family Christmas do with a sort of relative by marriage of a close friend; this man is a public servant very high up in the current government, in the state in Australia where I live, a government that was particularly tough on Covid lockdowns and jabs.
We were washing and drying dishes.
He asked me what I’d been doing this year.
I described what I’d been doing this year - how I’d refused the jab, how I had to take my long-service leave (an Australian thing, three months off every ten years) when I hadn’t planned to (I had really wanted to use my long service leave for doing some further study, but this was impossible), and then was forced to take three months unpaid leave in which I lived a quiet life and worked with my hands (1 Thessalonians 4:111) - window cleaning in fact, working for a friend.
Then I described this fact check blog, that you are reading right now.
He was happy to hear about Elon Musk being a WEF young global leader, and about the fact that there’s no evidence that snake venom in the vaccine, and the logic and research I used to determine these things, and how many hits these articles have had (a lot), and how people are desperate to know the truth.
However when I mentioned the Hunter Biden laptop and the fact that the New York Times now has run the story as true, on 16 March 2022, he simply didn’t believe me. I offered to show him the story. He completely refused to look at the evidence. He flatly refused to look at it. He said, “Oh, no, that’s just disinformation.” Then when I said, “Well it’s not, I’ve got the evidence, the New York Times published it, I’ll send you a link to that story,” but he said, “Well I’m not looking at it, it’s just your opinion.”
This is a link to the article, by the way, and I’ve quoted the paragraph below in which the New York Times finally admits the story is true and the facts are very damning, both for Hunter Biden and for the New York Times, which denied a true story for more than eighteen months.
People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.
In some of the emails, Mr. Biden displayed a familiarity with FARA, and a desire to avoid triggering it.
In one email to Mr. Archer in April 2014, Mr. Biden outlined his vision for working with Burisma. In the email, Hunter Biden indicated that the forthcoming announcement of a trip to Ukraine by Vice President Biden — who is referred to in the email as “my guy,” but not by name — should “be characterized as part of our advice and thinking — but what he will say and do is out of our hands.”
And then I said, well, what about Ivermectin; will you let me prove to you that we’ve been misinformed about that?
He said, “Oh, that’s horse dewormer.”
I said, “Well actually it’s not just horse dewormer it’s human medication and the two guys who discovered it got the Nobel Prize in 2016. And it’s used to treat River Blindness- Onchocerciasis.”
But he didn’t believe me.
And I went on to describe the Tess Lawrie / Andrew Hill video, where after raving about ivermectin’s efficacy Andrew Hill released the study undermining the evidence for ivermectin against Covid under pressure from “someone high up” in Unitaid.
This despite Andrew Hill being the head of Unitaid.
My fact check on this is here, it has a link to the video Tess Lawrie took of her zoom call with Andrew Hill, where she challenges him, you can watch it yourself:
“Will you let me send you that video?” I said.
“No,” he said, “It’s disinformation”.
I mentioned the ivermectin studies, https://c19ivm.org/meta.html and then I said, “Won’t you even consider the evidence?”
He said, “That’s just your opinion.” And he said, “And I heard some guy from the British Medical Journal talking about this, and he said it’s misinformation. How should I not listen to him?” What can you say to that? I said, “Well there’s plenty of people with good credentials, high up cardiologists and immunologists who would disagree with him. Just look at the video, it’s very short.”
“No,” he said, “It’s disinformation.”
And I said, “Are you afraid that with one pull on the thread your comfortable life will be threatened?” (That was probably not helpful, I regret that comment.)
He said, “No. It’s just your opinion. I’ve got my opinion and you have your opinion.”
I said, “No. I have evidence and facts. You have an opinion, but it’s an incorrect opinion because you don’t know the facts. I just want to give you the facts.” The whole table was listening. Some rolled their eyes at me, as though insisting on evidence and facts was just one step too far.
One wise older woman said, “There’s just not enough time to check everything.” She is very ill, but she grasped the main problem.
Perhaps I should have said, well I have the time - I don’t have a family - I don’t have grandchildren - I have the time to research these things and find the sources. And that’s what matters - the sources - the evidence - the logic behind the claims - and the hostile witnesses are the most important, like the New York Times with reference to the Hunter Biden laptop story. Like Andrew Hill, condemning himself with his own words. That man needs prayer more than anybody; I feel sorry for him, so wracked with guilt and self-condemnation. How does he live with himself? Surely he hates every advantage he gained from such a gigantic compromise?
But I did mention that one older lady at church started looking at the evidence I was giving her, then she stopped because she told me she didn’t have the time to look into this because she was busy looking after her grandkids.
Now her niece has a long term completely debilitating vaccine injury, which she might not be suffering from if that older lady had taken the time to find out and warn her. God have mercy on us all.
And I said that people have to look into it — they have to know — so that next time we can all stand together against it.
And somewhere in the middle of all of that conversation I described what it was like, being one of only about four or five people who refused the vaccine in my church. (A church that I attended because I knew it was very Biblical and centred on Jesus and I expected that people would hold me accountable to the truth; instead, I found myself one of only a few people standing up against the government lies; everyone took it for granted that they should take the vaccine. Very few of these people prayed about whether they should, or asked God to show them, or did any research, nor did the whole church pray about this or pray for the unvaccinated throughout the year and a half; although I remember now, one friend agonised and took it against his conscience, another friend of mine threw down a ‘fleece’ (Judges 6:36-40) and asked for three signs that he should refuse it and God gave him all three signs to say that he should refuse it, but then he went and took it anyway; God bless him, God bless them all anyhow, I love them all, they are my family, but it was such a great grief that so few people listened to me.)
(And one died suddenly, soon after the third jab.)
I said that I refused to take the vaccines not because I disliked needles but because it is against the Nuremberg code to coerce people into taking an experimental medication, and my conscience wouldn’t allow me to bow to that demand.
I can’t help thinking that this might have scared my government friend.
Perhaps he didn’t want to look at the evidence because he was too implicated?
Maybe it’s too terrible now to contemplate that they were part of a government action where people were killed and maimed?
Perhaps that’s why he didn’t want to look at that evidence?
I don’t know.
But I have never seen so much resistance to evidence, except where religion is concerned; at least, I was thinking when I started writing this article it was the secular religion that was the problem.
People who have a secular religion that gives them all the answers - the government is always right, the vaccine is god, the TGA and AHPRA are never wrong - when they have all the answers, when they refuse even to look at the evidence, that means that they are blind. Refusing to look at evidence honestly is blindness.
And this sort of blindness I have only ever seen before in religious people.
I once had a discussion about religion with a Moslem, whose arguments against Christianity went around in a circle. Many other religious people are the same, when you start probing; thing 1 is true because thing 2 is true, thing 2 is true because thing 3 is true, thing 3 is true because thing 1 is true.
But now I realise - it’s more likely unacknowledged guilt motivating my friend’s refusal to look at the evidence — the fact that you feel implicated in a wrong when you thought you were doing the right thing (I am sure all those in the governments of various places all felt they were doing the right thing) — this would be enough, too, to make you want to close your eyes.
Perhaps these people are saying, “What if so-and-so - who died straight after the vaccine that I encouraged him to take - died from taking the vaccine?”
If someone is in this position, they should understand that they were a victim of the misinformation too - but please don’t keep your eyes closed now, please open them - because people are starting to realise. Kerryn Phelps, former head of the AMA and Australian politician, is now talking about her partner’s long running vaccine injury.
This truly is a spiritual war.
What other type of war is there, where the truth is in front of people’s eyes, but they won’t look at it?
Ultimately the only way forward is to cry out to the One who came to earth more than two thousand years ago to lay Himself down in poverty in a manger with a poor family and Who died and lived again and Who rules over everything now, splendid and resplendent in blazing light and rainbows and glory upon His heavenly throne, despite appearances on this earth where it sometimes looks as though God is not in control — despite everything you see, pray for these people who don’t want to know — intercede for them.
Pray for people’s eyes to be opened.
Pray for them to see the truth.
Perhaps it is guilt makes them not want to look at the evidence - because they’re afraid of being found responsible for a wrong - but what they need most of all is to know that they can be forgiven.
What they need is to know the truth of Jesus Christ’s forgiveness and grace.
I wish I’d said more about that tonight.
Society, the law, the government, in the end, these institutions might be recovered - but I fear for those who still refuse to see what has been happening even at this late stage, for the mills of justice grind slowly but they grind exceedingly small.
But Jesus doesn’t show us the justice we deserve - he shows us that there is forgiveness with God, so that we should fear Him.
God help us to show grace to these people in their blindness who refuse to look at the evidence.
At the end I regretted our conversation - I brought an unhappy note into Christmas for him - but at the start he asked me how was my year — should I have lied and been non-committal? Should I have been resting in the Lord more, maybe then I would have just closed my mouth? I have to trust God is with me all the time, though, and after all I prayed before coming to that Christmas function… Maybe I didn’t pray enough?
We ended with an apology from me — I said I didn’t want to end up talking about this tonight — and a hug. Maybe that’s enough to show God’s love? I hope so.
And if I forgive my friend I must forgive myself — my own shortcomings as well, or believe God has forgiven them — God have mercy on us all.
And God will have mercy on us, so long as we ask Him for mercy, so long as we turn to Him for forgiveness and grace, for that’s what Jesus’ coming into this world as a poor baby sleeping in an animal’s feedbox guarantees, if it guarantees anything; that God loves us so much that He abandoned his own comfortable home in heaven in eternity. And that God wants us to forget our pride and forego our blindness and turn back to Him and receive mercy, even though we truly don’t deserve it one iota.
God bless us all this Christmas.
and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you
"It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." (usually credited to Mark Twain... https://quoteinvestigator.com/2020/12/23/fooled/ ). This wise observation applies more than I ever would have thought before covid. If anyone is still ignorant of the vaccine/covid lies in spite of all the evidence, they would have to be either extremely stupid not to look, or more likely being willfully blind because of the above quote.
