Wrecked

 "A false balance is abominable to the Lord, but a properly proportioned weight is a delight". Proverbs 11:1.

There have been lots of audible sighs this week as the word of the "end" of restrictions spread, and that's entirely understandable, but that deserved sense of relief has been accompanied, rightly, amongst many, with expressions of fury over the marooned wreck of our society that has been produced by the so called 'health' policies of our incarceration.

Barrister Francis Hoar conveyed the devastation so well: "It (these policies) was the worse public policy decision in modern times. I hope we will look back - if we have any sanity, historically -and wonder what it was that caused us to abandon all our pandemic preparations, all our experience regarding the progression of respiratory viruses, and most important of all, all our understanding of the importance of freedom and constitutional probity, through democracy, in governing ourselves.... I identified the fundamental problems in March 2020 with this - the monomania, the concentration solely on one virus. The fact that no attempt was made to identify what harms this would cause, notwithstanding that both the Government's and the WHO's own plans in 2019 recommended against implementing far more moderate measures. What we ended up with was a Chinese communist experiment. If we look at the evidence that we knew about in March 2020, spoken of by Michael Levitt, a Nobel Laureate, and Professor Ioannidis, of Stanford University - one the most sited scientists in the world, were saying that the outbreak on the Diamond Princess cruise ship (March 2020), was a golden opportunity to observe and learn the nature of the virus, giving us the age stratification of infection, and showing that only mainly elderly people were seriously at risk.... This shows that this was never the desperately dangerous pandemic that we were told. We knew this from the start - the average age of death was over the average age of general mortality.... Even if this had been a far more serious issue, so 700,000 people or more dying here, even then, it would not have been justified or proportionate to shut down our society. The reason is now clear - lockdowns do not prevent viral spread. The comparative evidence, not the modelling, shows they made no real difference in respect to this, but crippled society. The long-term consequences of these inept policies will be with us, and with our children - who we have thrown to the wolves - for decades to come. It is absolutely shameful that our political elites have legislated for this to happen. It is disgraceful and unconscionable that the opposition and the media have never asked the questions that they should have raised continually throughout this madness. We have used an act or Parliament that was never envisaged for that purpose to give leaders powers that they should never have had. We as a country should be deeply ashamed of all of this".

The 'false balance" employed in this affair has not only stained and ruined the land, but it has nurtured and nourished a blight that will mark us for the rest of our days.

We want this to be over, but the truth, already evident in respect to two evils, is that this malady has only just begun.

We are now being told to "live" with the plague itself, supposedly because the latest variant allows that, but the deeper reality is that MRNA materials have failed, comprehensively, to provide any long-term resolution, and now we are faced with the ongoing reality of what these same materials will produce in vast numbers of the population in the days ahead.

The collateral damage is vast. Few of us have been left unscathed in some fashion by what has unfolded, and where this will steer society next is clearly going to be awful.  Germany, for example, has now announced that anyone "unmarked" by the vaccination program are to be considered "enemies of the state".

We are driving headlong into a holocaust with global casualties, and the awful horror is just how few realise or understand the murderous evil unfolding around them.

Christ alone brings the riches of justice and truth - a balanced weight.

His Kingdom will rightly endure forever.
