The more we bury the truth, the deeper the innocent are buried with it.
It’s easy to look back at history and wonder how ordinary people didn’t see what was happening.
How could whole towns lie in the shadow of barbed wire fences and say they didn’t know?
After the Second World War, Allied forces marched German civilians through the concentration camps. Ordinary men and women: bakers, schoolteachers, shopkeepers – were made to walk past piles of corpses, to smell the stench of death, to see the emaciated survivors, to face what had been done in their name.
It was a reckoning. Not just for war crimes, but for wilful blindness.
And maybe that’s where we are now.
No one’s building death camps, but there’s been a different kind of war waged in the shadows. A war on children. On innocence. On truth.
We’ve seen abuse in churches and care homes. Corruption hidden behind polished podiums. Crimes buried under committee reports. Warnings ignored. Survivors silenced.
Every time someone tries to blow the whistle, they’re told to hush. “Don’t cause trouble.” “It’ll damage reputations.” “What will the neighbours think?”
Trying to bury something doesn’t make it go away. It makes it worse. It gives it roots. It lets it spread.

Burying corruption is a form of corruption.
As General Dwight D Eisenhoer said all those years ago:
“The things I saw beggar description…
…The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick.I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations to propaganda.”
— General Dwight D. Eisenhower, April 15, 1945
Shielding people from the truth isn’t kindness ... it’s cowardice. It creates a nation of people living in a padded cell, calling it freedom.
And truth, however painful, is the only way out.
We speak of reconciliation, inclusion, justice. But what justice is this, that robs a child of her innocence to prove an adult’s virtue? What kind of society sends toddlers to daycare for 40+ hours a week, then calls itself nurturing? What nation lets five-year-olds be audience to drag queens, or forces girls to share bathrooms with boys, then pats itself on the back for being “open-minded”?
We have turned the world upside down. And somehow - always - the children pay the price.
They carry the burden of our unresolved guilt, our political games, our desperate need to be seen as good people in a bad world.
But who’s asking them how they feel? Who’s protecting their right to be children, not ideological foot soldiers?
We talk a lot about safeguarding the future. Maybe we should start by stopping the madness now, and letting the innocent be exactly what they are: innocent.
Truth Hurts - and Why It Must
We live in a time when we punish people not for lying, but for telling the truth too plainly.
Say that a vaccine may have caused harm? You’re a conspiracy theorist.
Say that children deserve childhoods, not sexualised performances? You’re a bigot.
Say that a sitting President might be suffering from cognitive decline ... maybe even elder abuse? You're told to "respect the office" and keep your mouth shut.
But here's the thing: truth doesn’t need your permission to exist. It just needs daylight.
Let’s go back to 1945 - when American forces liberated the camps. They didn't hold a press conference. They dragged the townspeople in. Made them walk past the bodies. Made them smell the rot. Face the horror.
Because deep down, many of those townsfolk already knew something was wrong. The smoke. The rumours. The missing neighbours.
Some were too scared to ask. Some were just too comfortable to care.
And we are in that town now.
There are citizens pretending not to see. The ones who scroll past the news, who dismiss the files, who laugh nervously when someone mentions Epstein or Hunter Biden or the Vatican or aged care homes or vaccine injury or school curriculum gone mad.
They tell themselves it’s not their business. Or worse: they convince themselves it’s for the greater good to stay silent.
But history says otherwise.
History says that truth, even when painful, is a form of mercy. Because lies breed rot. And rot spreads.
Right now, child abuse is real. That’s not a theory... that’s a fact.
Elder abuse is real. Government censorship is real - and it’s being done “for your safety.”
But safety that silences truth is not safety. It’s sedation. It also puts all your truths under the microscope.
We’re told some truths are too upsetting for the public. Too controversial. Too dangerous.
Really? Auschwitz was upsetting. The cries of an abused child are upsetting.
But you know what’s worse than upsetting? Not knowing. Not acting. Not seeing.
We say we want justice, but justice without truth is like medicine without a diagnosis - all theatre and no cure.
You want to protect the public from online harm? Don’t ban 16-year-olds from the internet - go after the ones producing the filth.
Go after the monsters, not the messengers. Don’t censor the people pointing to the fire, kick down the door and put out the damn blaze.
Because that’s what truth does. It burns at first. But it also clears the smoke. It hurts. But it sets us free.

For the Sake of the Innocent
This isn't about being left or right. It’s not about being edgy or “anti-woke.” It’s about being grown-ups in a time when children are being led into madness and the elderly are quietly disappeared.
It’s about looking that six-year-old in the eye - the one clutching a teddy bear in a daycare where no one really knows her name – and saying, “I will not abandon you to this.”
It’s about looking at your aging mother and saying, “You are not a burden. You are the roots of this tree. And I will not let them cut you down for convenience.”
Crazy how it's considered normal to drop your kids off at daycare 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, just to drive to a job that pays for daycare, the car, and a home you're barely in. We're literally working to afford a life we hardly get to live.

Because if we are too afraid to speak the truth, then we have no business pretending we care about the future.
Truth is not cruelty. Silence is.
If the truth hurts, let it. Let it crack us open, let it humble us. Because only then can we build something honest. Only then can the innocent breathe again.
So no more lying by omission. No more coddling adults while the children suffer. No more shielding the public from “difficult truths” while those responsible sleep well at night.
If this is a reckoning, then let it come.
Let the light in. Let the truth out.
And this time, let it be the innocent who are carried forward - not crushed beneath the weight of our cowardice.
