There are three ways to lie:

1 Tell a story that is 100% fabricated. This is the easiest way to get caught, because such lies and the people who tell them get tripped up by easily debunked parts of their tale, often when the story itself becomes contradictory. The only way for the liar to get away with this one is to keep the story short and impossible to verify or debunk by virtue of having few specific details.

2 Tell a story that is based upon a true story, or that has elements of the truth within it, but portions of the story that cannot be proved to be true or false. The true portions bolster the falsehoods. This is the most common type of lie. 

3 Tell a story that is 100% true, but tell it in such a way that the listener doesn’t believe a word you are saying. This is the most difficult lie to tell because you ARE telling the truth. You just have to get the listener to tell the lie to himself.

With COVID, we are being sold a bill of goods. The powers that be have used all three of the methods above.

In North Charlotte, North Carolina, there was a ‘Juneteenth’ party consisting of over 400 attendees on Sunday night. A pedestrian was hit by a car that fled the scene. Shots rang out while EMS crews were treating the injured victim, and this soon blossomed into a firefight between multiple attendees. Over 100 cases of multiple calibers were recovered at the scene by police. Two people were killed and 12 injured.

While EMS was attempting to treat the victims, they were attacked by the crowd. This is the reason why EMS wouldn’t enter the scene in CHOP without the police securing it. 

There were over 400 people there, and no one saw a thing. Not one single witness will admit to seeing anything.

Protests? Not a one. Black Lives only matter if they can be used to advance a political cause.

This shopper wouldn’t let six black men cut in front of him in line, so they waited for him outside. How is this not a hate crime? Because it is open season on white people. 

Police Chief, Fire Chief, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Petty Officer. They are all racist terms.

The University of Florida is now banning the chant “Gator Bait” as well as the famous “Chomp” because racism.

The Atlanta police officer (Rolfe) involved in the shooting there was fired without being investigated or suspended pending investigation.

One of my college degrees was in Public Safety Administration. To get this degree, I had to take classes on Administrative Law. One of the topics covered was employment law. Under the Constitution of the United States, the government cannot take any of a person’s property without first allowing due process. There is a Supreme Court case that specifically addresses this situation. We were forced to write a research paper on the case. I am still in a recovery mode from our ransomware attack, so I cannot retrieve the file. The gist of it goes like this:

An employee of the government still has constitutional rights. If your employer (the government) wishes to deprive you of your employment, due process is required. This means that before the employee can be suspended without pay or terminated, there must be an investigation, and the employee is entitled to a hearing in front of the administrative authority (or his appointed representative) where that employee can bring representation, call witnesses, etc..

While the investigation is taking place and before the hearing, many employers do not want the disgraced employee out there in the public, so the employee is usually either assigned some sort of desk duty, or is suspended with pay, pending the outcome of the investigation and hearing.

That did not happen in this case. At the very least, Officer Rolfe has grounds for suing the department for damages, and perhaps will be given his job back, with back pay.
