What does a government do when nobody believes it? From Thomas Buckley at lewrockwell.com:
The Drone Paradigm
It has become a reflex reaction.
Tap the Biden administration on the knee with a rubber hammer and it kicks out a lie.
And it has never mattered to the likes of Alejandro Mayorkas and John Kirby and Karen Jean-Pierre that their lies are clearly and obviously are lies.
The border is secure. Hunter will never be pardoned. Joe is mentally fit. Dumping trillions of made-up dollars into the economy did not cause inflation. The “vaccines” were completely “safe and effective.” There was no government censorship program.
Over the past years, they perfected the public injection of ignorance, responding – if questioned – with even more lies or, better yet, even more words and words and words, sound and fury, signifying nothing.
And they have gotten away with it, in part because the media has helped them and in part because the public was beaten into submission during the pandemic response and in part because lies can be comforting, if you already agree with them.
And because deciding to stand up and having the nerve to say “well, that’s wrong, I can see it with my own eyes” invariably led to pariahood.
But that changed November 5 – people can now actually say what they think publicly.
The Biden team – and, specifically, the deep state puppet masters who control it – does not seem to have gotten that message and are getting very frustrated that people are not automatically believing them anymore.
