When anyone claims to be the voice of a god, or science, or the senate -- and even says they are the embodied representation of whatever they claim to be. They are liars. But be sure they are full of it. And full of themselves too. They are as twisted as a pig's tail They are as crooked as a dog's hind leg. They are claiming a right to step on your head. A true professional will temper their skill and knowledge with humility. The etymology of the word "Doctor" is "teacher," not your highness. Hubris is never in good form. "Pride goeth before ...."

Metabolically Screwed non-Poetry
Big business paid off scientists who skewed data about harmful substances. Remember when people were told cigarettes are safe? Look backwards 60 years. It took several decades to expose the tobacco magnates who funded scientists to support their carcinogenic product. Consider also the lie that dietary fat is more obesigenic than refined sugar and carbohydrate. This infernal lie is still passed off by those who call themselves experts but refuse to take the time to dig deeper, still clinging to the convenient dogma they inherited. Meanwhile, 4 in 10 are now obese with 75% of the population being insulin resistance with prediabetes and a fatty liver - this is happening in supposedly the most developed country in the world. Diabetes is a far more pandemic than covid, yet old lies still find die-hard adherents among the willfully ignorant pseudo-scientific community who spike the science. Woke yet?
Greybeard’s Rant
I’ve finally gotten to the point
where I don’t care what they say.
The so-called beneficial demands authorities make —
what I must do. When I was eighteen, said
I must go to war for my country. I was to be fodder
for the failed cause of someone else, which would
only serve to change me into a monster or back to dirt.
The invisible tyrant said we needed to cut all fats
then formulated margarine only to find later
that their creation was poisonous trans fats.
Then they replaced sugar with high fructose corn syrup
made in a laboratory for lab rats –but good for business
enhancing obesity much more–
Almost everything the experts tout is wrong–
over and over again, wrong. I have lived
through about ten presidents and have watched
the carnage and corruption of a selfish society.
Even our resistance movements are
destructive and wrong-headed. They exude
the negativity of knee-jerk reactions to the other
negatives only to blossom with more of the same.
History replicates itself by the law of attraction.
So Says the Preacher
Gandhi didn't advocate punitive resistance, nor did King --or Mandela. But Che did, his clothes stained with blood. Yet, celebrity t-shirts laud him. Their thinking is that the ends justify the means. Wrong! The bloody mass graves of Lenin and Stalin cry out. A movement of media intolerance was behind the Holocaust. History repeats itself when we stop paying attention. Mayhem triumphs when good people look the other way. Can you imagine how dangerous it was for Bonhoeffer to rail against Hitler over the radio? Or Polycarp to contradict Caesar to his face? Their fame is more indelible than any viral TikTok, YouTube, or whatever. There is a time for everything under the sun --so says the Preacher. Bards who water down their flow are tepid blowhards.
