Seriously, that's what we need at this point. Ropes. They need to have the deadly fear of accountability. Right now there are zero checks and balances against those in power. Zero.

The β€œappeal to authority fallacy” has become a hallmark to help us identify the corruption in all kinds of areas. Matras like β€œTrust the Science” or β€œVaccine Deniers” or β€œConspiracy Theorists” or even the 1984-esque β€œFact Checkers” have all become calling cards of the corrupted systems and their shepherds.

When we hear about whole swaths of science and academia who are afraid to defend their positions in debate, it becomes even more obvious.

Now, millions of dollars have been raised for a simple debate over the science behind vaccine safety. Yet the scrutiny is being shunned. In fact avoiding the debate is now being defended by the corporate media in such a dishonest way, saying things like β€œYou should not give them the moral equivalence.” Claiming it is below their authority to even consider a debate. Saying things like β€œImagine debating with a flat Earther.”

This is laughable of course because for $2.6 million dollars - or whatever has been raised at this point - any one of us would happily debate a flat Earther, no matter how pompous we believed our level of authority was.

There is only one real explanation for their squirming cowardice: They have been corrupted.
