Bullshit Keeps Us Sane

[Bảo Lộc a century ago]

There are many Philadelphians who have never visited Kensington, Fairhill, Cobbs Creek or Bridesburg, etc. I mean, none of those. At my neighborhood dive, Friendly Lounge, there’s Johnny AC. At 55, he’s proud to have never been to NYC. We rely on the lying media to find out what’s happening on the next block or downstairs. Even what we see with our own eyes, which now amounts to almost nothing, we must wait for confirmation from CNN, Fox News, New York Times or Washington Post. Your loved one keeling over seconds after “vaccination” had preexisiting conditions you’re just learning about. It all makes sense.

Two months ago, one reader said of Tadeusz Borowski, “Why would he lie?” When it comes to the Holocaust, there are six million reasons, but we often lie even when we’re trying to be absolutely honest, which is rare enough. I’ve repeatedly quoted Norman Lewis, whom I much admire. Last week, I cited his statement about the Montagnards, how they’re “the best-dressed and best-housed people in Indo-China.” I’ve seen them meticulously dressed or nearly naked. In 1995, I glimpsed one nude lady at a stream near Sơn La. There’s even a Vietnamese word for this, tắm tiên, fairy bathing.
