and our DNA hears what we say
I used to like the idea of the ancient Celts, who considered it the
coolest thing to make the last words they uttered in this life a joke.
It would have meant that not even death had a hold over the speaker,
presumably who fell in battle. So I went looking for examples of
people’s very last words and actions and found the most common
occurrence of the last thing you do in your life is to tell the truth
because you’re talking to God and what good would it do to lie to him?
When Sir Isaac Newton died, he was humble. He said, “I don’t know
what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only
like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself now and then in
finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst
the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

People of great age and wisdom with nothing left to prove are famous
for telling the truth, no matter how much it costs them. You witness it
in the stern resolve of 90-year-old German woman Ursula Haverbeck
against the merciless Jewish overlords who seek to establish their
Holocaust lies in the minds of everyone in the world. In total fear of
an old woman and showing the compassion of the Jew, they slammed her
into jail. Alfred Schaefer, Horst Mahler, Ernst Zündel . . . so many
other valiant comrades who chose to decide that the last thing they
would ever do is tell the truth, and they all paid dearly for it,
because this is a world that is run by lies . . . noble lies, vital
lies, murderous lies . . .
