Almost as if . . . Yup. Almost.

Thanks for a great, concise roundup of the situation!

I read many of your articles related to the pandemic and appreciate your content.

But if you use titles like these you lose credibility as a serious researcher/scientist.

I would agree that the justice system is not impartial in picking the ones to be judged (in the country I'm from, we have lived 30 years with a billionaire thrice prime minister with no regards for laws claiming that all his trials were a conspiracy. And probably some of his enemies actually setup some of his legal troubles). But some of your arguments here are frankly ridiculous.

Not a problem at all. The system is so corrupt and full of liars and incompetents, I already have none of this 'credibility' you speak of. Probably a good thing...

If you don't care about your credibility why would anyone care about what you write?

I don't think it's a good thing. But ofc it's my opinion and if you really think you framed this article in the correct way, well, I guess it's my problem and my choice of what to read.

Hi Lorenzo,

I'm pretty sure that Raphael is not giving his opinion on his own "credibility", but rather what the "liars & corrupt" in our world may think about his credibility.(Raphael, please correct me if I'm wrong)

So in effect their opinion is worthless propaganda because they are.

Love the sources you reference in your article. So much double speak by the mainstream media and narrative managers... so obvious.

You know it, Con. When the majority of people gladly took the unnecessary jabs, without any long-term effectiveness or safety data, and further persecuted me for not taking it, a decision I've been vindicated for many times over (including easily fighting off COVID and now having natural immunity), I don't put much stock in what others think anymore, no matter how clever or righteous they think they are. Evidence only, please.

I don't understand... I replied to you... and now there's nothing... well... bug? hallucination?

Raphael was there a comment from me here?

Ok - which ones are ridiculous?

All seem to me spot on and supportable with evidence. So if anything, understated.

I guess some people really believe that what Trump was found guilty of is far worse than the millions killed by the previous presidents and the child molestations linked to Epstein that continues to go unpunished! TDS is real.

Found entirely unjustly guilty of….

Yes TDS it seems addles the mind to the extent that you would rather live under fascism than freedom, or at the very least pretend that you don’t see the problem. It is cognitive dissonance to an extraordinary degree.

I never thought I’d know what it was like to live under the nascent Fascist state - Germany in the 30s say - but the global left (the people in charge almost everywhere on the west for now) have made that experience real. Destroying democracy to save democracy if they are to be believed. Scary times - but the tide is turning.

Indeed. How decent Germans went along with the Nazis becomes more understandable by the day.

What many believe is that the things are so completely different and unrelated that even putting them in the same article - let alone the same sentence - sounds wrong.

Why? Because a war is an event so complex and exceptional that pretending that it depends on single individuals or that it can/should be judged by "normal" laws is silly.

The other argument (also showcased in the title) about the lack of consequences for (some) murderers and (some) pedophiles sounds equally silly.

EVERY single person condemned from the dawn of time to its end, could say the same thing. You play with people's rage VS Trump's condemnation to imply that these "facts" about justice make Trump's trial "wrong".

If your point made any sense, justice shouldn't be administered at all, because justice isn't capable of pursuing all the crimes. And can even be wrong.

Are you claiming that we should we give up on human justice with its imperfect laws, imperfect procedures and imperfect administrators?

If Trump has so many all-powerful enemies that he can't even escape a stupid setup process about I don't even know what, when the rest of the people you mention are immune to any problem, then Trump is naive and useless.

I have very heterodox opinions about philosophy of law that I'm sure you don't want to read, so I'll stop here... plus I'm not even sure that my comments work...

"President Biden’s possible involvement with his junkie son’s “sketchy” business activities for some reason. " - or his showering with his 15 year old daughter.

To post or not to post... If we put up the videos of all the times Biden groped and sniffed young girls, we'd be the ones banned, huh?
