For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that it knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along.
Once it was known that the first COVID-19 case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses—with help from Western agencies—the left went into full persecution mode.
They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial any who dared follow logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were both culpable for the virus and lying.
A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and Biden administration demonized any who dared speak the truth about a lab origin of the deadly virus.
The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus’s origins, such as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.
The Biden government also tried to use the lab theory to ridicule a supposedly pro-Trump “conspiracy.”
Western corporate interests deeply invested in China did not want their partner held responsible for veritably killing and maiming hundreds of millions worldwide.
Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president.
Indeed, that was the point.
Biden’s role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the “old Joe Biden from Scranton” pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced.
His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.
By 2017, the public knew three truths about the so-called Christopher Steele dossier.
One, it was completely fallacious—fabricated by a has-been, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He childishly had cobbled together lurid sex stories, James Bond spy fictions, and Russian-fed disinformation to destroy the Trump candidacy and later presidency.
Two, it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She hid her checks behind the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GSP paywalls.
Three, the FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.
No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was the work of “Russian disinformation.” Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation.
The pornographic pictures, the evidence of prostitution and drug use, the electronic communications implicating Joe Biden in his family’s illicit shake-down operation of foreign governments—all were never challenged by anyone who was associated with the laptop’s contents.
Yet future Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, along with former interim CIA Director Mike Morrell, sought to fabricate a colossal lie to arm their candidate, Joe Biden, with plausible denial in the last presidential debate before the 2020 election.
They rounded up a rogue’s gallery of 51 now utterly discredited former intelligence authorities to lie to the nation that the laptop was likely fake.
All knew the FBI had verified the laptop. But they also knew that their titles would empower their lies that the Russians likely invented the laptop to aid the sinister Trump.
And the ruse worked like a charm.
In the debate, Biden cited their lies chapter and verse to claim the incriminating laptop was fake. A lying media damned Trump as a puppet of Vladimir Putin. Joe Biden, little more than a week later, won the 2020 election.
The Biden administration deliberately destroyed the southern border and welcomed 12 million illegal aliens. And then it lied that Biden had no power to stop the influx.
The media fabricated the excuse that “comprehensive immigration reform” was needed to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books.
Upon inauguration, Trump, in a matter of days, stopped what Biden had deliberately engineered for years.
Biden’s handlers wanted new millions of poor illegal aliens, dependent on social services, to swarm the borders.
They saw them as future voters and constituents to fuel their victim/victimizer Marxist binaries.
And they now quietly see their efforts as a huge success—knowing that it will be near impossible to find the millions of illegal aliens they welcomed in.
All these lies have divided the country and permanently damaged the U.S.
The perpetrators have neither apologized for their lies nor tried to either deny or substantiate them.
No one involved has ever been held legally accountable.
The legacy media permanently ruined its reputation and will likely never be seen as credible again.
The Biden administration, overseer of many of these lies, will be regarded as the most duplicitous and dishonest presidency in modern history.
It’s 8 am now. I’ve been watching since 5 am hoping for someone else to open the comments, but when reading the same thing VDH has been posting for two years, it’s hard to find something new to say.
So, in that vein, here are a few NEW things the Professor could be writing about----
Tesla closes at $235.89 on Wednesday. Tim Walz shatters his phone. This is a 25% YoY increase.
A jury just fined Greenpeace $660 million dollars for disrupting the company installing Keystone Pipeline.
Hakeem Jeffries gets a cold shoulder from Hollywood mega-donors. Most say they aren’t interested in attending his $10,000 per plate fund raiser.
Chuck Schumer facing increased calls to step down. Senator Kennedy of Louisiana observed that Schumer is about as popular as Chlamydia.
Census projections have 11 Congressional seats shifting from Blue to Red States. That also means a shift of 11 Electoral votes. 323 is the new 312.
President Trump will be signing an EO today abolishing the Department of Education.
Three Democrat Senators announce retirement. Fifty-seven Republican seats in 2026 not outside the realm of possibility.
SpaceX saves stranded astronauts. Media-ite ignores it completely.
Voters see the lawfare by Leftists against Trump’s promises and aren’t happy.
Don Lemon complains he was sexually harassed by women while at CNN.
Kash Patel captures three of the 10 Most Wanted list in his first month. Real FBI agents are proud once again. Patel says this is just the beginning of the FBI to returning to its roots.
Pam Bondi removes ATF oversight for those wishing to have gun rights restored and returns it to the Attorney General’s Office. The new rules will be published today in the Federal Register.
So much good news. So little of it reaching the public.
Edited----I forgot
The price of eggs has dropped to an average $3.45 per dozen.
Average price of gas has dropped to $3.349 nationwide. It was $3.459 one year ago. I paid $2.249 last week at Sam’s
The title only needs to say that they were lying. By definition knowing you were not telling the truth = lying so another way to title the article is to say that “The Left Knew They Were Not Telling the Truth to Us All Along”.
We expect the Left to lie because if they told the truth America would be financially solvent, the military would be the world’s best, China would be forced to pay recompense, the climate hysterics would be silent and we would not need Donald Trump to deal with all the damage both nationally and internationally, created by the lies. There also would be a lot more people living that did not have to die but for the lying. They lie to acquire a plurality of votes needed to provide them power to buy future votes. Consider the classic example that gave us the ACA. Johnathan Gruber admitted via a hot mike that “the stupidity of the American voter” made it important for him and Democrats to hide Obamacare’s true costs from the public. “That was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” said Gruber. “But I’d rather have this law than not.” And Justice Roberts jumped in to defend the Act as a tax when it was never defended as a tax. Roberts was never a Defendant or a Plaintiff. He was worse – he was an activist who was crucial to the defense. As an activist he could never have hinted about his thinking because if he did the Senate would never have approved of a tax bill. But he knew since Kavanaugh used similar language in the appellate court. Without his rewriting the defense from the bench Americans would today enjoy more and better coverage, costing less, and Medicare would be far less susceptible to insolvency.
Obama was also caught lying, in an indirect way, which was picked up by another hot mike when he told Russian President Dmitri Medvedev he would have more flexibility to negotiate on issues such as missile defense after the 2012 election. How did that help the Ukraine?
Clinton and Gore lied when speaking to Lynn Martin, on Nightline, about their support for NAFTA. The result: a nacco state to our south killing more Americans than any war and a parasitic sponge to our north touting socialism they could not afford without America paying for the cost.
Without lying Democrats would have no campaign strategy. But the greatest of all liars is the media which helps create, protect and disseminate the lies. The media protected by the First Amendment is worse than anything even Joseph Goebbels and George Orwell could have imagined.
The lies lost their effectiveness last November. By February, they’ve become effective again. 100% Negative media will do that. I think the only difference is that fewer people seem to be buying the lies, so I guess that is progress in a small way.
My hope is that the Trump success begins to show in enough quantity the lies lose their power once again. It will be close.
The quality of the press Secretary is much better. Of course she has a lot of truth to work with which, as we all know, was in short supply during the last Administration. CNN and MSNBC can’t find any adhesive powerful enough to keep their untruthful fabrications together. I don’t have to work at all to make Donald Trump and Elon Musk look good because so, so much has become irrefutably obvious that even someone like Helen Keller would find Leftist lies impossible to miss. Now I can spend more time dedicated to continuing education, which I love, in my profession, and need only get involved when dealing with Constitutional issues directly in opposition to what judges seem to think they know. They kniow a lot but most is wrong. They either lie or spread misinformation and that is what the public and media still buys.
EB, you make the point I was thinking about as I read VDH’s column. Though we all enjoy his work, he’s beginning to get a bit stale in his choice of topics.
But, I’d imagine VDH is under contract to produce copy, so that can sometimes be a grind when the spark of imagination fizzles.
Nevertheless, there’s so much winning going on, its hard to keep up. Personally, I’m waiting on the HR holocaust over at the Pentagon when stars begin to fall like knickers on prom night.
