Numbers 11:4-6 , The Egyptians (or the rabble) with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat! We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost – also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna.”
Just a week or so ago the mainstream media and thousands representing the “medical community” told us we must throw out the “stay-at-home” orders and go to the streets to protest the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police.

It is quite natural to gloss over the real or imagined failing of rivals, enemies, and friends when they pass away. J. Edgar Hoover, for example, viciously attacked Martin Luther King, Jr. during his lifetime for supposed philandering and consorting with communists, but Hoover and his followers had nothing but praise for King after his assassina tion. In turn, it was Hoover himself who came in for criticism after death for manipulating congressmen and for a homosexual lifestyle.
More and more, every week, I feel like I’m living inside George Orwell’s classic dystopian (opposite of utopian) novel, 1984, where Big Brother monitors and controls the private lives of everyone, and if you cross the line of what’s deemed acceptable by the totalitarian state, you will truly be sorry you didn’t toe the line.
