“FEAR<\/strong> is not a good counsellor.” Those words from French Bishop Marc Aillet have echoed in my heart all week. For everywhere I turn, I meet people who are no longer thinking and acting rationally; who cannot see the contradictions in front of their noses; who have handed to their unelected “chief medical officers” infallible control over their lives. Many are acting in a fear that has been driven into them through a powerful media machine \u2014 either the fear that they are going to die, or the fear that they are going to kill someone by simply breathing. As Bishop Marc went on to say:<\/p>\n Fear… leads to ill-advised attitudes, it sets people against one another, it generates a climate of tension and even violence. We may well be on the verge of an explosion!<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014Bishop Marc Aillet, December 2020, Notre Eglise;\u00a0countdowntothekingdom.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It is precisely in this fear, which leads to control, that nations are making decisions that are now literally killing people \u2014 again, 130 more million people face starvation this year[1]<\/sup><\/a>The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) warned that, as a result of the coronavirus, the number of people facing food crises around the world could double to 265 million people by the end of this year. “In a worst-case scenario, we could be looking at famine in about three dozen countries, and in fact, in 10 of these countries we already have more than one million people per country who are on the verge of starvation.”<\/strong> \u2014David Beasley, Director WFP; April 22nd, 2020; cbsnews.com<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n
