Watch this short (9:15) video of Sen. Josh Hawley ripping Anthony Fauci apart on live TV in front of Congress and the world. In it, numerous questions are put to Fauci and, in every instance, his answer never varies.
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.”
Get the heck out! Hawley brought out the point that Fauci had already received a preemptive “pardon” from President Joe Biden, which guaranteed that he could not be prosecuted for any crimes he might have committed during the time span covered, more than a decade, if my memory serves me correctly. Yet, here he is, sitting very uncomfortably in the hot seat, squirming in front of hard interrogation, visibly condemning himself to the entire universe, and all he can do is repeat some mealy-mouthed mantra about his “right” to remain silent.
Wow! The man, who was elevated to god-like status, equated with and known as “The Science”, is now in the process of being publicly and deliberately stripped of any semblance of respectability and honor, knowing that death awaits him in his very near future, knowing that his lies and machinations are laid bare for anyone to see, yet he cannot once bring himself to admit that he was wrong, that he made very grievous errors, that he is responsible for much of the havoc and destruction suffered by millions and billions around the globe. “No, I will not answer the question because I would then have to admit that I am to blame.” “No, I will not admit that I am responsible.” “No, I will not confess to anything wrong.” “No, I will go to my grave resisting the call to admit that I am a sinner and need to be forgiven.”
Well, so you shall, Mr. Fauci. And, at your advanced age, you can see the Grim Reaper approaching, but no matter how much you struggle to avoid it, the moment will come when you are transferred from this earthly court into a heavenly court, the Supreme Court of Supreme Courts, where you will be faced with the Supreme Judge of Judges Who will not allow you to equivocate and make excuses. You will stand there alone, without the backing and support of your “counsel”. You will not be able to “plead the Fifth”. In fact, when the question of questions, “Why should I allow you to enter my presence”, is presented to you, you will be reduced to abject groveling and begging for mercy, but there will be none shown.
You, Mr. Fauci, are a disgrace to humanity and the sooner you part from us, the better it will be.
"Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
'Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?'
"How you are cut down to the ground, ..."
From Isaiah 14. Read the entire chapter for context.
Lest anyone reading this think that I am simply piling on the man because of growing popular opinion, let me remind you that I called him out years ago when it was (almost) unsafe to do so.

Fauci is done. Finished. He has become a pathetic, little pile of quivering human flesh. So, let’s move on and leave him there with his own miserable conscience to keep him company. I appreciate Sen. Hawley’s grilling and want to give him credit where it is due, but I have some questions for him.
- Where were you when all this BS was going on? Why didn’t you speak up sooner?
- Were you concerned for your own hide more than you were concerned for the truth?
- What are you going to do now about all the others who worked with Fauci, those who facilitated his rise to power and his accumulation of wealth, awards, and prizes?
- When are you going to split with Donald Trump, a.k.a, Captain Warp Speed, the man who took on the responsibility of ensuring that countless billions around the world were injected with the (potentially) deadly chemical shot, the man who, to this day, praises himself for making all that happen?
- When will you introduce impeachment hearings against him and call him to account for his high crimes, not only in the COVID episode, but also for his brutal murdering of innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, his violent killing of 168 little girls who were attending school in Iran, and his zealous backing of the indiscriminate slaughter of men, women, and children in the hell known as Gaza?
Truth will out, sooner or later. Far better that it be sooner, but I’ll take it whenever it comes.
Poor Roger's Almanac 
We are to love our enemies. That proves very difficult at times!
As for your follow-on questions at the end, this is why all of it is a farce. Prosecute Fauci to test the validity of those “pardons.” There are dozens of people equally responsible for criminal behavior during covid, many of whom have no such pre-emptive pardon. Why not prosecute them?
Of course, this says nothing of why there hasn’t been, and won’t be, investigations and prosecutions for the summer of riots in 2020, the abuse of power against the J6 defendants, the criminality of the Biden family (and we will say the same about the current family once they are out of office.
It’s all a farce.
A farce! The whole thing is a farce!
Exactly, completely correct, and now that we know it’s fraudulent and fake, what is there to do about it? How do we separate ourselves from the farcical system which is and work toward a more truthful one which can be?
Probably, the first thing to do is to recognize the truth. The current system is a farce. From there, we can develop something better, something which is more consistent and aligned with the truth. If this means that we have to abandon our conception of what truth is, well, then, so be it.
Does this admit to error on our part? Probably. Quite likely. Does this mean that we have to change the way we think? Almost certainly. Repentance is, after all, not just swearing off alcohol and pornography, but actually overcoming the addictive hold which both, among others, have on our lives.
You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.
Roger, I don’t think we can really separate ourselves from this farcical system. We are swimming in mud, and no matter how much we might hate the mud, we still must swim in it.
What to do? You are doing it. You are focused on making yourself a better person and treating other people appropriately, you are sharing your ideas both through your blog and, from what you have written, also in real life.
Nothing better will be developed absent a change in the hearts of men. You are working on this, both within yourself and by sharing your ideas with others.
Thank you. This is appreciated.
