Why are only satirists asking the obvious question?

From Newsthump:

Met Police Chief Cressida Dick... told reporters, “The Met Police do not like to admit defeat in solving crimes, but in this case, we’ve had too little to go on, so we have had no choice to look for outside help.

“There are so few clues that we just don’t know where to start. Whether it’s with the repeated public admissions of guilt from politicians and civil servants, the questioning of those who resigned over the breaches or to start by talking to the eye witnesses who just happen to be policemen who work for us. How is anyone supposed to solve a crime like this?"


From The Daily Mash:

The investigation into a number of thoroughly documented illegal gatherings that attendees are on record as attending is not expected to be challenging, especially once direct testimony is taken from the police officers who saw it all.

Nathan Muir of Hebden Bridge said: “Call me Columbo, but I’d begin there. Check the records, find out who was on duty, haul them to the interrogation room and get a full list of all parties they saw, heard or inadvertently attended. It doesn’t have to be Line of Duty. They’ll probably just tell you.

“They’ll definitely have noticed wheeled suitcases full of wine, because they’re sharp-eyed police, and there’ll definitely be full records of who was where when because it’s the seat of government."

Because everyone else has been told not to and the PTB know they can get away with it, because it's not sex.

This is all very good work. But you only have the facts.

What do I mean by this? (in case you ad hom me with the tin foil hat again)

How many times do you need to be told that facts are of no use when you're facing a cult? And that the only way to defeat a cult, is by joining a more powerful cult.

Why is that? Because a cult gives it's members enormous meaning in life, rightly or wrongly. And that meaning gives them the energy to do all sorts of crazy things as means to the end.

Fact: you cannot beat power with weakness. If you disagree with this then you are not doing science.

Now. Here's the difficult question to put to your psyche. "Am I involved in my own cult. And is my cult rather a weak one?"

Onward: How alike is the climate cult to the covid one? Where the enemy is the climate denier, not the anti-vaxxer tin foil hat wearer. Where the virtue signalling ritual is the mask wearing, isolation rituals.

Finally: Is the worship of LVT, just another cult, albeit a weak one?

RS: "facts are of no use when you're facing a cult?"

Agreed. I'm only hoping to nudge those not in a cult. The genuinely interested and open minded. So I wouldn't waste my time with Anti-Vaxxers.
