Very well presented - although likely a bit overly triggering for some to actually land, but there will surely be others written using this as a stepping stone which may land with those better.
My only real difficulty is in this line: "When the Faucists step forward and confess their evils, admit their lies, and acknowledge their conscious efforts to gaslight, mislead, misinform, and do outright harm to others, then, and only then, can thoughts turn to forgiveness."
I suppose it turns on the definition of "Faucist" and cognitive dissonance and belief systems. I find it hard to believe that those at the level of Fauci and Daszak, especially given the redacted email trail that leads to a clear conclusion of complicity, weren't acting with full knowledge of what they were doing.
I wonder how many that we all would assume - and would hope - given their positions and authority - actually believe they were doing the right thing and just can't see it because their minds won't let them. They aren't or msg not be ignorant but they aren't fully willful either.
Nicely written, I also think there should be first clarification, and then they can ask for amnesty if people will be willing to let them go without any punishment.
yes, forgiveness given or earned?
Charles Eisenstein writes a nice piece on this also: https://open.substack.com/pub/charleseisenstein/p/amnesty-yesand-here-is-the-price
Oster doesn't regret what she did, just how things have turned out, or might later turn out for her.
It's a good sign that she is scared of repercussions. Things are changing.
Thanks, great post. Yeah, really puzzling... there wasn't much of the factual data out there and yet they went on millitan/combatant crusade....

Or are people truly so evil?
Perhaps my blinders are on as well.

PNK, I have been so waiting for you to write this article.
Like Megan says below (above), "way too late!"
These people are asking for forgiveness way too late.
They knew.
