The Authorized Lying

There has been a bit of news coverage about the Alex Jones trial. I don't know a lot about it but from what I gather he's in trouble for using his InfoWars platform to lie and hurt people doing so. Specifically he said some things about the Sandy Hook school massacre that those related to the victims did not like. I do not know the details of what was said and what legitimate harms resulted, but it seems to me that Alex Jones is essentially being prosecuted because a lot of people consider him the most evil person on the planet.

"How could you say those things? And so forcefully too? For shame Alex Jones!"

Again, I myself really do not know the extent of what Jones said or did or the actual merits of those things. What is so striking is that if Alex Jones gets in such trouble for lying so egregiously through a modestly large broadcasting channel, why aren't half the mainstream media outlets undergoing the same prosecutorial treatment? How about a simple catalog of their incessantly bleated lies -- there is a pretty good one over at Edward Ring's latest piece.

Why don't those lethal deceptions qualify for a day in court, with the media personnel responsible made liable, made to be put on the stand for maximum ridicule, just like Alex Jones was? Much of the reason is simply because those lies are the authorized ones perpetuated by Cain's Legacy for the purpose of constraining the World faithful. They may be the most wicked lies, but if they work, then what of it?

I can't help but add a link to this piece, which really is the one that inspired me to put up this post. It is at Brownstone, Ramesh Thakur's "Tyranny of the Coronaphobia." There he makes one of the best cases about why these people should get the same treatment Alex Jones does, for the same presumed absurdities they're leveling against Jones -- here's a good one: 

I wonder, too, if we have set ourselves up to repeat the folly every year with annual outbreaks of flu, especially if it is a bad flu season. If not, why not? Perhaps someone will come up with the slogan ‘Flu Lives Matter’. Or governments could just pass laws making it illegal for anyone to fall sick and die.

But then, it is the truth that government entities (including the hegemonic corporate, financial, and ecclesiastical branches) must appear to be doing all kinds of splendiforous things for people so it may do its legitimate job, no matter how much those in it lie. So many people then bow to its deceitful dictates because they known nothing about Truth and Grace.

That Truth and Grace thing? That's Christ. He's over in the Kingdom, by the way.
