Don’t be seduc’d by a Multitude. Thou wilt stand alone when thou diest; and shalt be call’d to give thy Account by thyself.

Introductio ad Prudentiam, Vol. 2, # 2087 (1727)

The Narcissist's Prayer

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

— Dayna Craig

A quotation from Omar Khayyam:

«
When Allah mixed my clay, He knew full well
My future acts, and could each one foretell;
Without His will no act of mine was wrought;
Is it then just to punish me in hell?

During the Nazi Holocaust there was some information known about the death camps but the actual death tolls came as a total "surprise" to Allied armies (including American officials who had orchestrated turning Jewish refugees away from our shores and back to Europe). It's not that they didn't know—they knew on a level that they suppressed and avoided. It was only when presented with incontrovertible facts that they began to comprehend in full consciousness.

What Might the US Owe the World for Covid-19? | Common Dreams

A US-funded laboratory origin of Covid-19 would certainly constitute the most significant case of governmental gross negligence in history. The people of the world deserve transparency and factual answers on vital questions.
