Public discourse, the moment it becomes basically neutralized with regard to a strict standard of truth, stands by its nature ready to serve as an instrument in the hands of any ruler to pursue all kinds of power schemes.
—Josef Pieper
The attempt, carried to the extreme, to manage human affairs disdaining God completely leads us increasingly to the edge of the abyss, to man's ever greater isolation from reality. We must reverse the axiom of the Enlightenment and say: Even one who does not succeed in finding the way of accepting God, should, nevertheless, seek to live and to direct his life 𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪 𝘴𝘪 𝘋𝘦𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳, as if God existed.”
—Pope Benedict XVI (1927–2022), Subiaco Address, 4/1/05.
Plato inaugurated a revolution in human consciousness. Christianity built upon this revolution and perfected it, instantiating this revolution in culture. The Enlightenment counterfeited it, substituting a desiccated and hollow version in its place, and postmodernism rejected the counterfeit, or so it claimed, thinking to have rejected the revolution tout court but actually managing to put an even more spurious and diabolical counterfeit in its place. In the last three years, there has been an all-out effort at counter-revolution, far more powerful and effective than anything in the past, and it looks like this time it really has been overthrown. Some small few still stubbornly support the revolution but they are being relentlessly persecuted and scapegoated for it. Their number may very well be dwindling, but let us not lose hope.
The revolution to which I refer is the one of Truth. Plato taught that an opinion should be accepted, not because it is a dictate of the powerful, or because holding it gets you something you want or not holding it gets you something you don’t want, but because it is true, period. And what he meant by true is in accord with reality, not societal consensus or the deliverances of official experts. The Enlightenment revolted against Plato and the Aristotelian tradition that followed him, not by rejecting truth altogether, but by replacing a theologically and metaphysically grounded, measured and justified truth open to transcendence and divine reality with “science” and “reason,” meaning in practice the wilful rejection of the truth of Divine Revelation and the reduction of reality to only what can be known by empirical experiment and thus manipulated for the pleasure and power of men. But the word truth still meant what it meant to Plato, conformity to reality; it was just that the official paradigm of reality had been reduced to pure immanence. In postmodernity, “truth” was indeed put in scare quotes, replaced by “narrative,” or better, “narratives,” that is, the stories that individuals and cultures tell themselves for reasons, necessarily, other than their truth value. Permitting no overarching “metanarratives,” the possibility of objective truth about religion, art, ethics, and even science was officially denied, but it was applied quite selectively, with the uber-truth of postmodernism itself accepted as true, period, along with certain self-evident ideologies, such as liberalism, Marxism, naturalism, scientism, progressivism, and secularism. Questioning the “truth” of these was considered as heretical as questioning Catholic dogma by a medieval inquisitor.
But I think that now, after three years of the incalculable evil of the scamdemic lies and mass murders, the truth-revolution Plato inaugurated is truly dead. The absolutely asinine tweet by one Tony Annett quoted above, whose Twitter profile photo shows him smiling adoringly next to the insufferably evil and truth-hating Bergoglio, is proof, for Annett is a synecdoche for the culture at large. The “sensible” position, for both Annett and the masses of the propagandized, is the “center” between the two senseless extremes, and, of course, these are construed to whatever will ensure that one’s preferred position is the reasonable, “sensible” center one. But what does sensible mean here? Does it mean the true position on, say, masks, Tony Fauci, and the “vaccine”?
Shouldn’t the sensible position be the one most in accordance with reality, based upon the correct answers to the following questions about reality: Do masks stop virus transmission? Are they harmful to the body and the psyche? Are asymptomatic people contagious? Is Fauci a good person? Is the so-called Covid-19 vaccine safe and effective? And there are more basic questions:Was there ever even a pandemic, or was it all a deliberate lie? If so, when was this Big Lie planned and for what purpose? Was the vaccine designed for health or mass sterilization and murder? Were the lockdowns and vaccine passports implemented for public health, or totalitarian control, mass theft, and mass murder? Here is an example of someone in love with truth whose dialectical discourse of truth-seeking questioning communicates this love to others beautifully, lucidly, and trenchantly, inviting them to repent of their dogmatic rejection of reality and join her in an existential commitment to Truth. This wonderful lady puts so many Catholic academics and intellectuals to shame:
And if one were to consult reality, not the official “experts,” to answer the questions one should have had at the very outset of the obviously totalitarian “lockdowns, these are the answers that you would have eventually discovered, as Dr. Michael Yeadon, a former vice-president of Pfizer research, did:
The infection fatality rate of SARS-CoV-2 is 0.1 – 0.3%, which is not significantly different from some seasonal influenza epidemics.
Based on the peer-reviewed articles, at least 30 to 50% of the population has prior cross immunity.
SARS-CoV-2 does discriminate. “The lethality of this virus, as is common with respiratory viruses, is 1000X less in young, healthy people than in elderly people with multiple comorbidities.”
Asymptomatic transmission is the “central conceptual deceit” used to “underscore almost every intrusion: masking, mass testing, lockdowns, border restrictions, school closures, even vaccine passports.”
PCR test is “the central operational deceit.”
Neither cloth nor surgical masks prevent respiratory virus transmission.
Lockdown is “epidemiologically irrelevant” and never works. “Only “stay home if you’re sick” works.“
“Covid-19 is the most treatable respiratory viral illness ever”. Safe and effective early treatments are available.
Based on the peer-reviewed articles, very few clinically significant reinfections of SARS-Cov-2 have ever been confirmed.
SARS-CoV-2 mutates slowly, and no variant is even close to escaping naturally-acquired immunity. However, there is the possibility that the so-called vaccines prevent the establishment of immune memory, leading to the repeated infections, which would be a form of acquired immune deficiency.
Safety is the top priority in a public health mass intervention, even more than effectiveness. “It was NEVER appropriate to attempt to “end the pandemic” with a novel technology vaccine.”
The four gene-based “vaccines” are toxic. The basic rules of selecting vaccine candidates are: 1) the agent has no inherent biological action (non-toxic); 2) the agent should be the genetically most stable part of the virus; 3) the agent should be most different from human proteins. Spike protein as the vaccine does not fit any of the above criteria.

But Annett, like so many other know-it-all internet blatherers, is not asking Margaret’s questions, or any questions at all, because he is not interested in the truth. His tweet has nothing to do with truth, for he is neither claiming any truth nor inquiring about reality. It is rather a passive-aggressive rhetorical weapon designed to get something for himself, in this case, the approval of his fellow Catholic sophists and the Propaganda Regime Oligarchs through his pathetic virtue-and-ideology signaling. In other words, his tweet is about power, not truth. Annett is not communicating with anyone about anything—he is dehumanizing, manipulating, and coercing his audience. Such abuse of language is essentially an act of psychological rape:
Whoever speaks to another person--not simply, we presume, in spontaneous conversation but using well-considered words, and whoever in so doing is explicitly not committed to the truth--whoever, in other words, is in this guided by something other than the truth--such a person, from that moment on, no longer considers the other as partner, as equal. In fact, he no longer respects the other as a human person. From that moment on , to be precise, all conversation ceases; all dialogue and all communication come to an end.
—Josef Pieper
With truth dethroned and Plato’s revolution overturned, what public, and much of private discourse, amounts to now is psychological rape, with its participants both the rapists and the victims. Tony Annett is one such rapist, as well as all the other emasculated-pansy-serpent-men and Lilith-possessed defeminized women at, say, Where Peter Is and America Magazine and the various other covens of intellectual “progressive” sorcery. But it’s not just these leftist, godless, antichrist punks and witches on the “left,” for they are just the most noxious dregs. You also have the many “conservative orthodox Catholics” who promoted and still promote, in the face of the overwhelming evidence of harm and death, the time-release euthanasia shots by assuring themselves and others that they could play Russian Roulette “in good conscience.”
But thanks be to God there were those graced souls—many of them “spiritual but non religious”—who retained some level of Platonic love of truth, which, scandalously, can’t be said of so, so, so many American Catholics today, and thus could see ab initio that the whole pandemic was really a scamdemic, and that the vaccines were evil, even if they didn’t know yet know exactly how or why. Now we know how and why, because we sought to know, even in the face of the greatest propaganda psy-op ever orchestrated. Those who drank the kool aid then seem now to be confirmed in their sinful delusions, with even the “sudden death” of their loved ones unable to shock them out of them.
The abuse of political power is fundamentally connected with the sophistic abuse of the word, indeed finds in it the fertile soil in which to hide and grow and get ready, so much so that the latent potential of the totalitarian poison can be ascertained, as it were, by observing the symptom of the public abuse of language. The degradation, too, of man through man, alarmingly evident in the acts of physical violence committed by all tyrannies (concentration camps, torture), has its beginning, certainly much less alarmingly, at that almost imperceptible moment when the word loses its dignity.
We are living through a full-scale totalitarianism zombie apocalypse, a literal hell on earth: countless people, many young and healthy, are literally dropping dead, having been injected by a time-release euthanasia shot, with autopsy after autopsy revealing veins filled with grotesque blood clots, but the masses, including most Christians, just blink mindlessly, believing without question the most ridiculous and patent lies ever uttered—it’s due to the stress caused by anti-vaxers! It’s “sudden-adult-death-syndrome.” The western presstitutes decry “antisemitism” while they gleefully support Nazis in the Ukraine/NATO war of aggression against Russia, and the gay disco comedian installed by the Western cryptocracy to arm and protect them. Armed atheists stand outside of libraries to “protect” pedophiles from “conspiracy theorist right-wingers” so they can perform lewd acts in front of children—with their parents watching and smiling. Anyone who dares to claim that a man can’t become a women and vice versa, or that the anus is not a sex organ is considered both insane and morally deranged, even “unChristian.” Did I say that this is hell on earth?
Though the more overt mass terror and atrocities have been paused for the time being, the globalist satanists holding the reigns of power masking as custodians of the common good have no intention of ever stopping it. But it can be stopped, if only Plato’s revolution could be resurrected. And each of us can do that right now, in his own heart, for all it takes is a simple act of the will: Say it now: "My God—who is Truth—I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love you. I beg pardon for all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love you.”
Name your genocide—it was not a mistake.
That includes the Great Democide of the 2020s.
To imply otherwise is to give Them the out they are seeking.
It was not incompetence.
It was not lack of knowledge.
It was not spontaneous mass hysteria.
The planning occurred in plain sight.
The planning is still occurring in plain sight.
The philanthropaths bought The $cience™.
The modelers projected the lies.
The testers concocted the crisis.
The NGOs leased the academics.
The $cientists fabricated the findings.
The mouthpieces spewed the talking points.
The organizations declared the emergency.
The governments erected the walls.
The departments rewrote the rules.
The governors quashed the rights.
The politicians passed the laws.
The bankers installed the control grid.
The stooges laundered the money.
The DoD placed the orders.
The corporations fulfilled the contracts.
The regulators approved the solution.
The laws shielded the contractors.
The agencies ignored the signals.
The behemoths consolidated the media.
The psychologists crafted the messaging.
The propagandists chanted the slogans.
The fact-chokers smeared the dissidents.
The censors silenced the questioners.
The jackboots stomped the dissenters.
The tyrants summoned.
The puppeteers jerked.
The puppets danced.
The colluders implemented.
The doctors ordered.
The hospitals administered.

This is quite excellent!! Thank you!! The line that resonated with me the most, due to my own views, writings, and research was:
"...but by replacing a theologically and metaphysically grounded, measured and justified truth open to transcendence and divine reality with “science” and “reason"..."
Brilliant!!!
Looking forward to more...thank you (I have "cross-posted" this essay to my own substack readers)
Dear Mr. Kozinski,
With deepest gratitude am I thanking you for having written this testimony of the state of life of man in the world in these days. I made notes of the meaning you have clarified for me, about why people lie about the pretense of their philosophical outlook. I never believe that any person speaking relativist gibberish believe what they speak. You've unravelled the dirty-ball-thought-string with clear thinking and straight forward language. Thank you very much.
Also, the prayer that you advocate all us pray, always---are these the words given to the children by Our Lady of Fatima?
Again, with appreciation and best wishes for you in this new year.
Joanne Wasserman
