Month: December 2021

During the great depression FDR went on radio for his fireside chats to talk to the country. FDR was a President who exuded optimism. Ronald Reagan was like that as well. Those kind of attitudes are crucial for the morale of people during difficult times

The attitudes that media and scientists have during the present crisis is frustrating and infuriating. Omicron is a setback in the fight against covid. But, this is not March 2020 nor is it the winter of 2020 to 2021.

We have come a very long way. Can anyone say that the year 2021 was not much better than 2020? Even with Omicron, this is a mild variant in comparison to its predecessors. The infections in South Africa have decreased dramatically. The present situation is difficult but there are signs that are encouraging.

The Scientific community sees things very bleakly. I understand we need to be realistic and not be in denial. Do we have to see things in the worst possible light.

Scientists do not understand diplomacy or behave like emotionless machines. Take for example the Greek scientist Elias Mosialos. This Scientist was attempting to persuade Greeks to wear masks. A worthy endeavor.

This man posted a blasphemous picture of the holy family in which he mocked and ridiculed the virginity of the most holy Panaghia within the context of mask wearing. This fool does not realize that angering millions of Orthodox Greeks does not make it easier to persuade people to wear masks.

Most Greek bishops have endorsed vaccinations and have assisted the government in efforts to stop covid. Yet, Mr. Mosialos angered the bishops in Greece. The contempt for Christianity that this well educated Scientist expressed is an example of the dangerous divide that exists between the scientific community and many ordinary people.

People around the world are tired, frustrated, and angry. No doubt the Scientists feel the same way. But the Scientists need to understand human nature as it is. Human civilization over the past two years has suffered a trauma unprecedented in this lifetime.

The Scientific community has estranged itself from millions of people owing to the support given to the Wuhan lab in China. From the very beginning of this pandemic Scientists lost the confidence of people owing first and foremost to association with China. The inability of Scientists to show any form of optimism and the doom and gloom attitudes have not helped.

What are people supposed to think in a horror movie world where life has been completely disrupted only to see Scientists who have no empathy for regular people? Yes, people should be responsible and wear masks and be vaccinated. Scientists likewise need to have more empathy and appreciation for the average person.

Scientists do not relate to ordinary people. That is a problem and it can be seen in the example of a Greek Scientist ridiculing the Mother of God. This Scientist has totally undermined his own efforts to convince people to wear masks.

At a a time when unity among men matters, science has become politicized and detached from ordinary citizens. This is an obstacle that needs to be overcome. Scientists should not mock religious faith and they should be inclined to acknowledge that things have improved despite recent setbacks.

The anti vaxxers and Scientists have much in common. They both view the present world with a sense of pessimism and negativity. Since the Scientists and the media are publicizing nothing but negativity and minimizing facts that offer hope they should not be surprised that so many people believe that things are hopeless.

Orthodox Christians and people of other faiths take solace knowing that God is there. Leave it to a scientist to mock faith which has proved invaluable to so many people during these evil times.

Former Greek President and Minister of Foreign Affairs Karolos Papoulias passed away. He was an honorable man and a Greek nationalist who as Foreign Minister under the late Andreas Papandreou took very hard line positions on Cyprus and Macedonia. In 2004, the treacherous Prime Minister Costas Simitis, Foreign Minister George Papandreou, Constantinos Mitsotakis, and Dora Bakoyannis plotted against Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos.

Papadopoulos refused to accept a United Nations plan for Cyprus that would have solidified the Turkish invasions and occupation. For this reason, the above mentioned buffoons sought to undermine the President of Cyprus. President Papoulias refused to support them and maintained his support for a free Cyprus.

May his memory be eternal!

It has been proven that the National Institute of Health and its affiliates such as Eco Health alliance and the World Health Organization have been morally compromised by their working relationships with China. Their professional and financial backing for Gain of Function research in Wuhan has been exposed. Unfortunately, their activities have not received proper coverage from international media.

The first point here is that the scientific community refuses to take responsibility for the outbreak of covid. They initially lied about the leak in the Wuhan lab by stating that the wet markets in Wuhan were to blame for Covid. The refusal of the scientific community to demand the departure of Anthony Fauci (an enthusiastic and unapologetic supporter of gain of function research up to the present day) continues to undermine its credibility.

Leaving aside the nefarious activities of all the above let us examine the attitudes of the broader scientific community. By no means should the broader scientific community be associated with the activities of all the above. However, scientists have an inclination to be irritating by their apathy to the very real frustrations of ordinary people.

At the present time, the new variant called Omicron represents a serious threat. Fair enough to recognize this threat. However, Scientists act as if nothing has changed since last year. The media is not helping either but that is another story.

Last year, no one was vaccinated. This winter, sixty percent of all Americans have been fully vaccinated. Furthermore, although Omicron spreads much faster than the Delta variant as it has a much more mild effect on people. Granted, none of this is good but the fact is we are much better off this winter than last winter and the refusal of Scientists and Doctors to concede that things are better is especially irritating.

It is clear that Scientists and Doctors do not understand the importance of morale. Clearly, they do not understand the frustrations of ordinary people. This is not the fourteenth century in which the world was ravaged by the black death. This is 2021 where the world has changed and in which the outbreak of an infectious disease is far more difficult to cope with.

The world of 2020 was a much different world from previous centuries. Frankly, a pandemic in today’s world should have been unthinkable. Scientists and Doctors have shown inability to understand the economic, social, and political effects emanating from the lockdowns that were imposed at the beginning. Shutting the world down created further problems as can be seen by the riots in America during the summer of 2020.

Theologians understand that we live in a fallen world where man is a sinner. Christianity offers the sacrament-mystery of confession to believers because people sin even after repenting. People fall again and again and look to God’s grace for forgiveness again and again. Do Scientists and Doctors understand the nature of man and his proclivity to sin?

The Scientists believe if they tell people about how to fight the pandemic that people will just listen. That humans are more complex with a variety of beliefs and theories and may not listen does not seem to reach the understanding of the highly educated Scientists and Doctors.

The pandemic should not have happened. It happened because of the reckless actions of Chinese Scientists and their western enablers who failed to take into account the well being of the people of the world and the disruption of their lives. Much has been said about privilege in America.

Let it be understood that the most privileged people are the Scientists who carried on with their activities while the people of the world carried on with their lives not suspecting what was to come. One of the things that must change post pandemic is the privileged position of scientists. Democratic governments must take control and exert their authority over the Scientific communities in the future.

We have seen in recent years the scandals regarding religious institutions. The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese is a case in point with its never ending tales of corruption. The Roman Catholic Church is another example. As Churches and Governments are held responsible for their offenses, so should the Scientists at the National Institute of Health and elsewhere for assisting the Wuhan lab.

The lockdowns also deprived people of attending religious services from which they draw faith and strength. The secular elite in Science, Medicine, Government, and Media had no empathy for the spiritual and moral dilemma that believers in all faiths faced during the lockdowns.

Scientists and Doctors see nothing but gloom and death. This despite the fact that America and the world came a long way from the early horrors of the pandemic to the summer of 2021 where things got much, much better. While the year 2021 will end in disappointment can any one doubt this was a much, much better year than 2020?

The Scientific community needs to clean house beginning with Anthony Fauci who needs to be retired. They also need to fundamentally recognize that people need a sense of optimism and hope. It is not enough for people to merely be alive, they need to know that they will recover their lives.

One has to wonder if the Scientists will ever admit that the pandemic is over even when it actually is over. No one can deny that the Scientific community under Fauci has attained a great deal of political authority and influence unprecedented in American history.

The Russian government sponsored a resolution at the United Nations which passed. The resolution condemned Nazism and Neo-Nazism. The resolution condemned racism and racist ideology. Guess which two countries voted against the resolution?

That would be the United States and Ukraine. Countries that abstained from voting are mostly American allies. This exposes the Biden administration and the Democratic Party as the frauds that they really are. Decent people condemn the pagan, racist, and occultist ideology of Nazism at every opportunity.

Since the Russians sponsored the resolution, the Biden administration refrained from doing so. The Russians have valid reasons for sponsoring the resolution and the Democrats have understandable reasons for opposing it. The Biden administration and its predecessors have been supporting the Ukrainian militias which are filled with Neo-Nazis that glorify Nazi collaborators.

Ukraine’s opposition to the resolution is obvious. The Russians have exposed the hypocrisy of the American Democratic Party which claims to be anti racist while turning down an opportunity to denounce real racism at the United Nations. The Democratic Party has made common cause with Antifa, a radical Marxist organization that considers itself to be anti fascist.

The real anti fascists are in Russia who are fighting the Neo-Nazis militias in Ukraine. The connection of the Democratic Party to fascism goes back to the support that the Clinton administration gave to the pro Nazi Croatian government during the 1990’s. Hillary Clinton compared Vladimir Putin to Hitler but serious people know that Putin has a family that fought and suffered against the Nazis.

The Clintons and Biden have a history of pro fascist activism in the former Yugoslavia and Ukraine. The Russians have successfully exposed them.
