A lot of have not covered themselves with magnificence this year. Here are my most significant disappointments of 2021:
The Mainstream Media
2021 has tested to damage the charming idea that reporters are encouraged above all by the mission for fact no matter where it leads them. Nope: just as the MSM refused in 2020 to acknowledge there was anything even remotely suspicious that a senile child-sniffer in some way beat the most popular president in United States history, so in 2021 the MSM refused to admit that there was anything from another location suspicious about the official pandemic story.
In Downing Street interview, the default question was always “Why aren’t you doing more to impose masks, CCP-style lockdowns, quarantines, etc?”, never as soon as “Isn’t this all a dreadful overreaction? And because when was Big Pharma so eminently credible?”.
It wasn’t simply the slavish lickspittles from the BBC and The Sun who declined to stray outside the Overton Window. Even all those stalwart conservative/libertarian/free-market writers that you used to envision would always be your bulwark versus tyranny turn out to have actually been simply as craven.
Sure, they might be huge and brave and outspoken talking about the threats to liberty presented by Wokistas insisting on weird pronouns. However when it concerned broaching the more awkward subject of a globalist, technocratic takeover being performed under the guise of a pandemic: crickets!

Scientists
Like journalists, only with higher deceptions of intellectual credibility and less scruples. Any newspaper article beginning ‘Researchers say …’ relieved you of the need to check out any additional due to the fact that it may just as well have actually started ‘Pinocchio states …’ The only sincere ones in 2021 were either retired– or just recently sacked for having actually spoken up of turn.
Medics
Like scientists, just a lot more disappointing since you believed they existed to conserve your life, that they valued things like the Hippocratic Oath which no way would they push experimental treatments on you without notified permission. Sure there have actually been some notable exceptions to this rule however most of them are no longer real working physicians due to the fact that they have actually been pestered out of their tasks for wrongthink.
Libertarians
All that fine-sounding stuff about the Laffer Curve, the moral case for lower taxes, the genius of Hayek and Von Mises, that funny anecdote about Milton Friedman (‘Why refrain from doing it with spoons?): they have actually constantly been great on the theory of freedom. However it ends up that when it’s truly under risk they run for the hills, especially when it turns out that the donors who pay their think tank incomes are actually part of the issue they have actually been pretending to eliminate all these years.
The Conservative Celebration
Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything that any affordable individual might construe as ‘conservatism’. It doesn’t care about: the countryside; personal property; minimal federal government; personal duty; low taxes; tradition; liberty. However it does wish to take away your fuel cars and truck and your gas boiler and your foreign trips due to the fact that St. Greta stated so; and it’s completely unwinded on the subject of open borders.

The Archbishop of Canterbury; The Pope
Painfully woke oil executive Justin Welby and South American leftist agitator Bergoglio were enthroned (as Archbishop of Canterbury and Pope) practically simultaneously in March 2013. Maybe the timing had some significance in the Luciferian calendar, however it was certainly devastating for many believing Christians who have looked on, horrified, at the destruction this grisly duo have actually dealt with their respective churches. Welby wishes to decolonise church statuary; Bergoglio wants to eliminate Latin mass; both appear more interested in worshipping Gaia than God.
All the idiotic celebs, political leaders, reporters who enabled themselves to be roped into the government’s project to damn individuals who do not want get immunized.
History will judge these shills, I hope. However not, I fear, before this obviously orchestrated campaign has whipped the vaccinated section of the populace into a witch-hunt frenzy versus the unvaccinated. What they are doing by sowing the seeds of such division is wicked and unforgivable.
Brexit
Sure, we all had a lovely idea of what Brexit meant when we elected it. However the Deep State never for a minute had any objective of permitting us to have it. Nor have they.
Boris Johnson
From his close, afflicted nickname (his real name is Alexander) to his japesome Telegraph articles commemorating breast augmentation and BMWs, Johnson is, and constantly has actually been, an elaborately built fraud. The pity is that most of us (me included) hoped there was something genuine below the facade and didn’t realise the fact until he was inextricably established and the damage had been done.
The British
Not all of them. I ‘d say an excellent ten per cent have risen to the event and I have actually been happy to march along with more than a few of these stalwarts, such as Bob the previous Telegraph cartoonist to Jamie Franklin of the Irreverend podcast.
Nonetheless, provided our happy history from the various wars where we have thrashed the French, the Spanish, the Germans and the Dutch, provided our roistering nationwide spirit (Merrie England), our love of pluck and dash and wit and liberty, it has been something of a disappointment to me as an Englishman to see how quickly most of my compatriots have caved to mask tyranny, to petty administration, to ominous idol worship (clapping for a bad socialist healthcare system? Truly??), to demagoguery, to the type of curtain-twitching snooping and snitching more redolent of East Germany under the Stasi.
I do hope John Bull can recuperate his spirit in 2022. And I wish the very same to all my fellow liberty fighters around the globe, from the US and Canada to Australia and New Zealand. We should have better than this– and if we do not get it, we have just ourselves to blame. There are no white knights. It’s up to us. Given that God is on our side I believe we will prevail in the end.
However given what we’re up against (principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places), I believe it’s going to be rather a battle.
