Hindsight is
For now, we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
We are not seeing for lack of looking, we entered 2020 and have now come to the end of it having made many declarations about 2020 vision etc… but we were not seeing ahead, we didn’t know of and were not prepared for COVID-19. Not really. We were going about our business doing what seemed right in our own eyes; so we were caught off guard just like the world. Reflecting on the pun that is implied in the title of this feature, I have to humbly conclude that as the people of God we messed up. The great nations of the world are all in flux; we can’t depend on them for answers. The COVID ‘Infodemic’ The World Health Organisation is concerned about the management and dissemination of information about the virus. Their website had this advisory: The COVID-19 is the first pandemic in history in which technology and social media are being used on a massive scale to keep people safe, informed, productive and connected. At the same time, the technology we rely on to keep connected and informed is enabling and amplifying an infodemic that continues to undermine the global response and jeopardizes measures to control the pandemic. An infodemic is an overabundance of information, both online and offline.
It includes deliberate attempts to disseminate wrong information to undermine the public health response and advance alternative agendas of groups or individuals. Mis- and disinformation can be harmful to people’s physical and mental health; increase stigmatization; threaten precious health gains; and lead to poor observance of public health measures, thus reducing their effectiveness and endangering countries’ ability to stop the pandemic. Furthermore, disinformation is polarizing public debate on topics related to COVID-19; amplifying hate speech; heightening the risk of conflict, violence and human rights violations; and threatening long-term prospects for advancing democracy, human rights and social cohesion. WHO do we trust? Pun intended! 1 The PLANdemic COVID heightened speculation and inquiry globally as to who stands to benefit from the chaos? It all seems like a diabolic smokescreen and the same short list of allied globalists and billionaires keep coming up from the Wuhan labs in China to the Pfizer vaccine factories globally. Meanwhile, we witness the inevitable demise of the American democratic system. We clearly see what is wrong with America from #BLM to the Charlottesville Riots to George Floyd’s murder by police, the failure of the federal government to provide proper health

care for its citizens and the fiasco in how the pandemic, has been handled. Even though President Trump was no saviour, his policy was to rid his government of corruption. Is Joe Biden’s government an ingathering of the ‘swamp gnats’ that they say Trump tried to drain from the Capitol Hill swamp? Does Biden’s cabinet have deep connections to Wall Street and the Fortune 500 corporations of America? If so it is dubious as to whether we can expect that workingclass or middle-class interests will be catered for at all or at the very least they will be way down on the list of priorities. In short, it seems as if democracy is dead in America. I am hoping the Democrats aren’t guilty of the mail balloting scandal as alleged because if it’s proven that tampering did take place, it’s gonna be blue versus red in the streets of America. One to pray about... 2 You will recall I warned in SHARE Magazine article, The Dragon Awakes, Vol 7 issue 1, Jan 2019 3 that China has steadily organised itself and is rolling out its well-laid plans like ‘Pinky and the Brain’ to take over the world. Trump-led trade wars with China to challenge -Chinese corporate espionage and theft of western intellectual property and their responsibility for the COVID-19 outbreak - during which time China’s response to this was to develop relationships with Wall Street and leading American Corporations to help oust Trump in the American 2020 Elections. In return, these American corporations
