Many heroes, who don’t see themselves as heroes, gave testimony at the National Citizens Inquiry† (NCI). In their mind, they only did what their conscience demanded of them. On the other hand, the Hydras, also, don’t see themselves as villains or criminals, but time and evidence will prove who is Hero; who is Hydra.
“In a time of universal deceit, speaking truth is a heroic act.”

Heroes need to be remembered and modelled;
Hydras exposed, indicted, convicted.
Heroes look
above and beyond
Welcome to Heroes & Hydras
As we begin this “Hero and Hydra” series1 some might consider Hydra-Heydrichite to be outrageous hyperbole as applied to “authorities” who conceived and enforced the COVID-narrative, but as evidence continues to escape aggressive censorship, we will, in coming months and years, come to know that what was done in the 1930s and ’40s was but a lesser prelude to a 2020s global, Utopian, criminal conspiracy2 — a final solution to the despised chaos of freedom / choice / agency without regard to age, gender, race, or ethnicity. Covidism3 became the dogma of most (naïve? captured? compromised? corrupted?) power elites on every level from local to global. Men and women with iron hearts became the norm. But, regardless of the risk, there were men, women, and even children of conscience and integrity who spoke up against the lies and crimes — becoming heroes.

#58: David Brooks* - Author, Political / Cultural Commentator

Is this time of polarization concerning recent actions of Donald Trump1 and Elon Musk,2 David Brooks gave a speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) this past week that was both a confession and a wake-up call to attendees and auditors. As Brooks said, he expected boos (and one could hear a shout of "traitor"), yet some did applaud his observations — observations that are not popular with many of the "Right" right now. Not so long ago, it took courage to publicly oppose the narrative of the Left; now also to criticize the favored narrative of the Right (as can be seen in the comments). I think his description of Western failings is mostly correct, but perhaps not deep enough to expose the abyss of corruption that has engulfed both the Left and the Right. Not everyone may agree on the definition of who is a hero, but history will undoubtedly sort it all out in time.

* David Brooks (born August 11, 1961)[1] is a Canadian-born American book author and political and cultural commentator. Though he describes himself as an ideologic moderate, others have characterised him as centrist, moderate conservative, or conservative, based on his record as contributor to the PBS NewsHour, and as opinion columnist for The New York Times[2][page needed][3][better source needed]. In addition to his shorter form writing, Brooks has authored six non-fiction books since 2000, two appearing from Simon and Schuster, and four from Random House, the latter including The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement (2011), and The Road to Character (2015). Beginning as a police reporter in Chicago and as an intern at William F. Buckley's National Review, Brooks rose to his positions at The Times, NPR, and PBS[1] after a long series of other journalistic positions (film critic for The Washington Times, reporter and op-ed editor at The Wall Street Journal,[4][full citation needed] senior editor at The Weekly Standard, and contributing editor at Newsweek and The Atlantic Monthly).[when?][citation needed]
