So said CS Lewis, author of such works as The Chronicles of Narnia. In his A Reply to Professor Haldane Lewis he said
" Every tyrant must begin by claiming to have what his victims respect and to give what they want. The worst of all public dangers is the committee of public safety.
I must, of course, admit that the actual state of affairs may sometimes be so bad that a man is tempted to risk change even by revolutionary methods; to say that desperate diseases require desperate remedies and that necessity knows no law. But to yield to this temptation is, I think, fatal. It is under that pretext that every abomination enters. Hitler, the Machiavellian Prince, the Inquisition, the Witch Doctor, all claimed to be necessary. "

After over a year of not seeing my eldest daughter, Redhead and I had the great pleasure of a visit from my daughter and her youngest son this morning. She is in her mid 40's, a drop dead gorgeous blonde who is about to complete her PhD . She is no dizzy blonde and has worked hard all her adult life to become a very successful woman. Happily married, kids, full time work and someone of whom I am very proud.
With all the border closure rubbish, lockdowns and social distancing crapola that has been going on throughout 2020, it was a short but long anticipated get together that had only one rule: no discussion of Politics.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
On September 17, 1787, America as we know it, was born. The pre amble to the Constitution set out the intent of the Founding Fathers in clear and simple terms. I often wonder how they would feel about what is happening in their UNITED States of America today - in 2020.
Li-Meng Yan, the Virologist who claimed COVID-19 originated in a military lab and that China and the World Health Organisation covered up facts about its human contagion early on has certainly attracted a lot of attention. Not all of it welcome.
She left Hong Kong and fled to America, saying
If you are anything like me, you may find it all hard to understand. This series of images delves in to her claims that the Virus Was Made In A Lab... compiled by Big Bear source:
The 20th Amendment says “the terms of the president and vice president shall end at noon” on January 20....“the terms of their successors shall then begin.” That is all very well and good, but if their successors have yet to be determined because of mail in voting, the outcome is a worrying one indeed.
People have been touting Nancy Pelosi as the " caretaker " because she is Speaker of the house. HOWEVER, it is reasonable to assume that if the election outcome is not known, then there would be a distinct possibility that there would be no House. The terms of all members of the House would end, as stated in the Constitution, on January 3

So said a commenter on an article from The Washington Post back in October 2019 in relation to any Virus that may break out. In fact, even Joe Biden tweeted about the threat of a Virus in October 2019 - months before the supposed outbreak.
The Covid-19 outbreak - named because it was a corona virus identified in 2019 - was clearly on the radar months before we were officially notified and the world went mad.
A global New World Order; with a select few at the helm and we, the People, kneeling in fear.

People today staged a Freedom protest in Victoria, Australia. It was at the rather well known Queen Victoria Market - renowned for its fruit and vege stalls and great Australian produce.
Today, it seems that Victoria is producing a new product altogether: a Police State..
While Nevada held a peaceful protest today with its key speaker, President Donald Trump, it seems that chanting " Freedom " in a public space in Victoria is not the done thing. In fact, having Citizens chant " Freedom " is something to get the Killer tomatoes out for and also the Riot Police.
What the hell have we come to?
I bought a new duster online it is one of those ones they advertise on TV and I am very pleased with it It gets rids of cobwebs and dust quite easily. What a shame it doesn't work with politicians.
I have always been a great believer in the phrase of blowing the cobwebs away. If things are not going well I take a walk and blow the cobwebs away to clear my head. I think that the world needs to take a walk in the fresh air so that we can clear our heads and start thinking sensibly again.
On September 11 2001, the world reeled in horror as America was attacked.
I remember it vividly. It was the middle of a Queensland Spring night and I couldn't sleep. I got out of bed and turned on the TV. The channel was playing what I thought was a futuristic movie. But it wasn't a movie. It was happening.
Half way around the world, I sat on my couch in shock. Nearly 3000 people perished.
"...one of Cate’s closest friends – a man she’d played rugby with – is the ex Prime Minister, Tony Abbott. “I knew I’d have to tell him,” she says, “because our friendship is one of the oldest, most continuous friendships of my life.”
"And what did Mr Abbott say? “I got the most loving response,” says Cate, “He said, ‘Look, it changes nothing.’ Then he said, ‘What’s your preferred name now?’
Tony Abbott is a good man.
