Chernobyl - Madness

What is the cost of lies ? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. The just world is a sane world There was nothing sane about Chernobyl. What are you doing ? We have to shut it all the way down. No. We could be on a Xenon pit. We have to shut down with 24 hours. No. We're doing the test tonight, raise power to 700. We can't raise the power from here with the rules ! Shut the fuck up and do your job ! What happened there. What happened after even with the good we did... I would like you to record your command. Raise the power. Madness... We have a power surge Sasha ! What did you do ?! (Chernobyl Reactor 4 explosion) (Call from NPP to the firefighters) It doesn't look right... The color... Go back to bed. (Call from NPP to the firefighters) When the truth offend we, lie and lie until we could no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there. We have the situation under control. It's well under control. The State told us the situation here is not dangerous. Have faith comrades. We seal off the city. No one leaves. And cut the phone lines. Contain the spread of misinformation I think there's graphite on the ground, in the rubble You didn't see graphite. I did. You didn't because it's not there ! Go to the bedrock roof and report back what you see. No, I won't do that. Of course you will. You'll be fine. Every lie, you tell incurs a debt to the truth, sooner or later that debt is paid. Sorry !... We did nothing wrong !... Please take him ! Please, please... It's not 3 roentgens, it's 15 000. We're gonna have a baby. Yeah... There are 50 000 people in the city. He's a medical doctor, if he says it's safe, it's safe. Not if they stay here ! We're staying. Yes we are ! And we'll be dead in five years ! No one wants to think what's going to happen to them, but here we are. We're asking for your permission to kill three men... (dosimeter ticks) If you hit an animal, and it doesn't die. Keep shooting until it does. Don't let them suffer. 12,000 roentgens... Comrades soldiers... The Soviet people have enough of this accident, they want us to clean this up and we have entrusted you with this serious task. By three minutes you're dead within months These are the most important 90 seconds of your lives... Commit your task to memory, and do your job... (Deadly radiations) (Firefighters lead coffins) Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask 'what is the cost of lies?

I got a pit in my stomach watching this and thinking about how the current US administration is currently handling the Coronavirus. If the government is lying to it's people about how serious a life threatening situation is, it will only get worse.

What is the cost of lies?

This show gave me such a pit in my stomach when I watched it.

Knowing what we know now makes it so much worst to witness chernobyl, even after knowing this was a dramatization...

I saw Suggs walking in the street the other day

My wife said it was the first sign of madness
