Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 5

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.
Re: Aztec Gods
That's an extraordinary sculpture, by the way -- I wasn't familiar with Szukalski before now, but I need to remedy that.

Re: Aztec Gods
Hmm, so now I suspect this project of mine will take me much, much more than I considered before.
Oh you are going to like him I suspect. The sculpture was a plan of him to be part of a university tower between Mexico and Texas and he built it in such a way (see the hole in the middle of the backdrop) that with the wind in a particular direction the monument would hum. He was kind of mystical in nature and a little crazy. Towards the end of his life, I believe through his sheer talent, he started to try to piece together language and anything of pictographic value into what he called "Protong" which according to him was proof that the origin of human kind, after the last deluge, originated in Eastern Island. I don't think he was correct but I think he started to sense something old from within human ancient cultures and then applied a monistic view in the way he perceived things. He ended up in 40 years illustrating 42 volumes totaling 25,000 pages with about 14,000 illustrations which he called "witnesses". He was algo a bit of a megalomaniac so he trashed all world history and rewrote it as "Zermatism"
Up until recently very few people knew about him until the documentary came out. Unfortunately very few of his sculptures survive because they got bombed by the Nazis on their assault of Poland, only pictures remain. Your local library might have the book that came out with it Struggle: The Art of Szukalski . It has quite a few pictures of his work and a few comments by him about them.
