The fewer whistle blowers,
the greater share of honour

In response to the article and video I posted on Monday about registered practical nurse Tash McCormick speaking out against the COVID mandates, Lila Zanrossa wrote:

If only more health professionals stood their ground and refused to comply. That would open people's eyes more... Pity that so many doctors, etc., only think about their pay and not human beings...

While an army of scamdemic-exposing healthcare workers would be nice, the current situation reminds me of this line from King Henry V:

The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.

Or, in this case, the fewer whistle blowers, the greater share of honour.

Way back in 1415, in Agincourt, France, King Henry V and his band of 6,000 weary men, were forced into a battle with 36,000 French soldiers. It seemed like impossible odds, but in Shakespeare's play, "Harry the King" just shrugged his shoulders and gave one of the greatest speeches in human history — rousing his men to fight a battle that it seemed they had not a hope of surviving.

The best rendition I've seen is by Kenneth Branagh. But my son's recital (when he was only six-years-old) comes in at a close second (don't miss the bloopers at the end).

PS In my recent appearance on The Iron Will Report, Will Dove and I also discussed this battle-ready speech and why it's so important to overcoming the "we're not enough" mindset.

PPS On Wednesday, artist Jordan Henderson and I were on The Fakeologist Show talking about how modern art is messing with people's minds. If you missed it, and would like to watch or listen to the recording, you can do so here.
