While Conspiracies Abound - Truth Arrives in The End

Reader comment on item: Conspiracy Theories in a Time of Virus [COVID-19]

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Apr 6, 2020 at 14:09

Having intermittently followed Dr. Pipes through several years (I've lost count) of Middle Eastern studies of historical and hysterical hyperbole; of discussions regarding the life and times of the various peoples who are always caught in contentions and implications of lives that cannot be left in peace for the lack of any neighborly love, we can now see how all of this going to end: and COVID 19 is not the cause.
There is no one conspiracy; theories abound but none are sufficient to be the single or multiple thread of rationales, though all contribute to the single most salient factor of the primary epidemic that is at the center of the world-wide panic. What is at the center of all of this? In a word-fear....fear....fear.
Folks, this is spiritual Psy-Ops...and guess where that comes from.....anybody...anybody...Mr. Bueller?
That being the case, is it any wonder that conspiracies abound? The world, indeed the entirety of humanity is on pins and needles since not even the medical specialists, let alone the local practitioners, can get a handle on what is merely the next variation of virus/pestilence that has cyclically menaced humanity for centuries, indeed since before medicine was identified as anything more than an outgrowth of practicing pharmacopeia as an artform and not science. Why does humanity do so?
Fear is a condition of the human psyche that manifests itself in the absence of truth. Conspiracy theory abounds in the absence of truth; see the connection? Why do the potential arbiters of conspiracies pander to the fears of the potential victims of the conspiracies being promulgated world-wide and naming them in conspiratorial fashion (xenophobic implications magnified): because they fear the truth.
Now, in these times, truth is bound to be a casualty since the world does not bear well under the conditions of truth; pandemics of mortality come in all types and from more causes than medical conditions; how many populations have been decimated and how many more are targeted due to man's inhumanity to man: ethnic cleansing is a disease of the mind and is its own from of a pandemic: will social distancing protect Sunni's from Shi'a; Rohingya from evil operatives of Myanmar; sons of Isaac from sons of Ishmael; Druids from Syrians?
It is noted elsewhere that COVID 19 may be considered an act of God (specifications of whose God notwithstanding); and to the extent that this observation does give credence to a Divine aspect (elements of apostasy and agnosticism in evidence as well), this is not considered far from the truth.
In the Hebrew Holy Writ, many times pestilence was brought upon a rebellious people of HaShem, for there was a total departure from the precepts of the Holy One of Israel, which has persisted until this day. Rejection of truth is made evident as the proximal cause; in the rejections of truth, conspiracies abound. It had happened then; it is happening now.
Do not think anyone is going to escape what is already promised: salvation for some; escalation in fear for others. Seek the truth and decide who will be comforted in truth and who will be consumed by conspiracy. It will make all the difference in the world, for however longer it is scheduled to last.
