The Origin of "The Origin . . ."

“Does anyone know who employed Darwin, where Darwinism comes from?” [Lara] Logan, now with Fox News’ streaming service Fox Nation, asked. “Look it up: The Rothschilds. It goes back to 10 Downing Street. The same people who employed Darwin, and his theory of evolution and so on and so on. I’m not saying that none of that is true. I’m just saying Darwin was hired by someone to come up with a theory — based on evidence, OK, fine.”

Scene:


A massive office. Portraits of ancestors on the walls. A thick carpet. A large desk.


A quick knock on the door. A woman enters and addresses the man behind the desk:


“Mr. Rothschild, Mr. Darwin is here to see you.”


Rothschild: “Send him in.”


A young man in his early twenties, wearing a dark suit, enters.


Rothschild: “Ah, Charlie, good to see you again. Have a seat. I expect you have further news about that proposed expedition of yours.


Darwin: “Yes, Mr. Rothschild. But I’m afraid that my news may not be pleasing.”


Rothschild: “Er, why is that?”


Darwin: “Well, I recalculated the itinerary, the necessary crew, and the needed provisions, and determined that the initial financial investment figures I gave you fell rather short. So, I’m here, hat in hand, to ask for a greater capital commitment on your part for the expedition to advance. I’ll not take offense if you find the numbers on this sheet to be unsatisfactory and for you to withdraw your offer of support.”


Hands over a sheet of paper; Rothschild slips on a pair of spectacles and reads.


Rothschild: “Why, Charlie my son, do you think that a Jewish banker, a Rothschild, would blink at a figure like this? Look, we have agreed upon a purpose here: to bamboozle the scientific world and beyond with the idea that mankind has evolved from ape-like creatures. Your voyage on that ship of yours—what’s it called? . . .”


Darwin: “The Beagle.”


Rothschild: “. . . we both know that it’s just to produce a cover story that has to seem to be legitimate. So in order to accomplish that, what’s a few thousand pounds more to a Jewish banker? You go right ahead with that journey to . . . where? . . .”


Darwin: “Galapagos.”


Rothschild: “Galapagos; sounds like what a race horse does. Is that a real place?”


Darwin: “It’s off the coast of Chile.”


Rothschild: “Well, you just go right off, enjoy the ocean journey, write up a few ‘scientific’ notes, and come back in a year or two. Then slap together a book that will shake up the Christian establishment—and we’ll both have a great laugh at their expense.”


Darwin: “Thank you, Mr. Rothschild.”


Rothschild: “Don’t mention it. [Writes something and hands the paper to Darwin.]


Darwin: [Reads] “Matzos, chicken soup, gefilte fish . . . . What’s this?”


Rothschild: “Well, you have to provision your ship for the long journey. Take this list over to the address I’ve written. I have a side interest in a Jewish ship’s chandlery. I might as well get a little money back—under the table, as it were.”


Darwin: [Rises from his chair and puts on his hat.] “See you in about two years, Mr. R.”


Rothschild: “Gay ga zinta hate.”

Hammer and Tongues

As the saying goes: “To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” 


Republican and fellow rightwing hammerheads have been busily banging away at imaginary nails. Take Ronny Jackson, for example. An MD who once claimed that Trump was the paragon of physical fitness, Johnson is now a Member of Congress representing (where else?) Texas. Seeing the Democratic party as a nail head, Johnson brought his tool down mightily: 

Here comes the MEV - the Midterm Election Variant! They NEED a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots. Democrats will do anything to CHEAT during an election . . . ,

he tweeted.*


Somehow this alleged man of science (aren’t doctors supposed to be men of science?) didn’t give a logical explanation of why his claimed bogus COVID variant needed to take a route from South Africa to Europe before being sprung on gullible US voters. Or why it is that non-bogus people are dying from a bogus disease. I wonder in what medical school class one learns to finesse such questions.




This is what people say to me: he doesn’t represent science, he represents Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps.


Thus, Fox Nation host Lara Logan offering a comparison between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.**


Logan’s playing of Whack-a-mole, using her hammer on the pate of the distinguished director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is a very advanced example of weaseldom. Note that she doesn’t say that she herself  is making the comparison; she is allegedly only repeating “what people say to me.” She claims, “People all across the world are saying this.” I haven’t heard that in my part of the world, but, then again, I don’t have much to do with crazies. Apparently, Logan does, but don’t blame her for what she hears and repeats—because, weaselly, she doesn’t dare say it directly.




Tucker Carlson is not a man who is going to be outflanked by the likes of a Lara Logan. He gets out his hammer for Fauci’s noggin and disdains any weaseling. He will own up to his whacking. 

If you haven’t checked in on Tony Fauci lately, you may be a little surprised to discover what he’s become . . . . After two years of being nonstop media adulation, Tony Fauci has morphed into an even shorter version of Benito Mussolini.***


(Whether it is worse to be banged on the head for being a Mengele or a Mussolini, I leave up to you.)


Carlson subtly engages in a cute bit of anti-Italian bigotry here (and, considering his record on immigration, perhaps something of a warning against southern Europeans in general). 



Time, I think, to take away the toolbox from the wingnuts. Though I think someone should first take a monkey wrench and tighten the screws that are loose.
