What do you do, when societal morality has completely collapsed?

 

Paul Craig Roberts described the United States' impenetrable culture of lies and unrestrained self-interest.

 

Here in extracts:

 

 

The failure of Big Pharma controlled medicine to acknowledge vaccines as causes of death and the power of money over medicine have led to a dilemma. What happens if your vaccinated baby dies and you are blamed for murder?

 

Six months ago Andrea Shaw filed a lawsuit with the aid of Robert F. Kennedy’s Children’s Health Defense against the American Academy of Pediatrics.

 

The lawsuit . . . charges that the AAP, while taking donations from Big Pharma, gave assurances that the vaccines on the federal vaccine schedule are safe.

 

The day after the vaccinations, the twins “showed symptoms such as blue lips and sunken eyes, prompting the family to take them to the emergency room, where a physician diagnosed a post-immunization reaction.”

 

The Payette, Idaho, police department has charged Shaw with murdering her twins by suffocating them.

 

[S]uspicions are aroused that the AAP or Big Pharma bribed the police department in order to create grounds to defeat the lawsuit.

 

This is America Today. We mere citizens can trust nothing.

 

No institution has integrity, none are trustworthy.

The moral?— Do we still want to make fun of people . . .

 

. . . who cling to an old-fashioned sense of right and wrong?

 

The surge toward Western secularism appears to have drowned ethical decency in an ocean of avarice and parasitism.

 

It just might be that hostility toward genuinely moral religious principles comes with too much optimism regarding humanity's (arguably predominating) miserable character.
