Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 28

[ecosophia]

The semi-open posts  I've hosted here on the Covid-19 narrative, the inadequately tested experimental drugs for it, and the whole cascading mess surrounding them have continued to field a very high number of comments -- to understate the matter considerably! -- so I'm opening yet another space for discussion. The rules are the same as before: 

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 plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. 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, as more nations back uneasily away from lockdown policies that don't work, and reports of harmful or lethal side effects from the covid vaccines mount up in unprecedented numbers, the floor is open for discussion.

O Canada

[(Anonymous)]

Extra! Extra! As of yesterday my country is now under the rule of the never-before-used-but-surely-very-scary Emergencies Act!

Before we all jump on how awful or evil or crazy this or that Canadian leader or group or piece of pseudo-legislation is, can we please all just take a deep breath and a deep, hearty laugh?

I think this will only be solved by enough people refusing to take the bait and instead pointing and laughing and not cooperating. Like the tow truck drivers in Ottawa and Alberta who were unavailable to haul away transport trucks 'due to Covid'.

I wonder what other forms of humourous non-compliance are possible...

Excellent point and a good reminder. If there is one thing our elite cannot stand, it is to be mocked and laughed at.

Two data points from looking at the Guardian.

1) First is an article by Musa Al-Gharbi that sums up, for a left-leaning audience, why there isn't "something wrong" with the unvaccinated:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/15/this-is-why-some-people-dont-want-to-get-the-covid-vaccine

2) Earlier today I saw in the Guardian's business live blog this entry:

"More people out of labour force with long-term sickness"

"The number of people out of the labour force increased during the last quarter of 2021, partly due to a worrying increase in long-term sickness.

The economic inactivity rate increased by 0.1 percentage points in the October-December quarter, to 21.2%. In total, there were nearly 400,000 more people neither working nor looking for a job, compared to before the pandemic.

(There is a chart here which I can't post)

"James Smith, economist at ING, explains:

Economic inactivity is another potential source of recent worker shortages. Like we’ve seen in the US, there’s been a pronounced increase in the number of working-age people neither in nor actively looking for work since the pandemic began.

But unlike the US, where a lot of this trend has been attributed to early retirements, it’s long-term sickness rates that have risen and helped prevent UK employment from reaching pre-virus levels. How much of this is linked to long-Covid is not yet clear.""

Link:
https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2022/feb/15/uk-pay-growth-lagging-inflation-vacancies-unemployment-stock-markets-oil-ukraine-business-live?page=with:block-620b85788f08d2c32d5a617e&filterKeyEvents=false#liveblog-navigation

You'll have to scroll down quite a bit to find the original entry. If this were to do with vaccine side effects, I would have expected the same thing to be happening elsewhere, which I'm not sure is the case. But it caught my eye.

One additional probable cause of inactivity showed up today as I signed up for FMLA (family medical leave act). When they read me my case number I commented on what a long number it was and the nice lady said "you have no idea, there's lots of people hurting out there", then she offered to pray for us. So apparently many long covid/vax injuries/stress victims are being treated at home by an otherwise working adult. We are one family that has lost all trust in the medical industry and pretty sure we're not alone.

Vagus Nerve Disfunction.

[escorcher]

Came across this a little earlier:

'Study points to vagus nerve dysfunction as a central pathophysiological feature of long COVID'

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220212/Study-points-to-vagus-nerve-dysfunction-as-a-central-pathophysiological-feature-of-long-COVID.aspx

After reading about the vagus nerve and it's importance it's kind of weird the link hadn't been made earlier. Also guess it could be damaged as much by the vixens as the virus too. Be interested to read any insights our resident medical theorists might have. Just to stretch things a bit, could it have anything to do with the consciousness issues that seem to be cropping up for one or two in the public eye (though it is strange they were both talking about vixenation at the time)? Highlighted as only he can by the Bad Cat this afternoon:

Re: Vagus Nerve Disfunction.

"Long covid" is just newspeak for post-viral syndrom, which we have known about for some time. Viral infection can cause a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, especially if it has already been compromised by trauma or prolonged stress. ANS dysregulation has been identified as a major factor in chronic fatigue syndrom, fybromyalgia, chemical, food and electromagnetic sensitivity and the whole spectrum of autoimmune problems and even cancer. The ACE study has shown this clearly. Healing the nervous system is possible and there is good work being done is this area. A major part of this work is restoring a sense of safety to the organism. All the panic and totalitarianism sure ain't helpin' any!

Dear John Michael Greer,

My deepest thanks to you, and my thanks also to the commentariat.

As Dr Alexander, champion of the truckers, just got thrown off of TikTok, it looks like we're in for another tumultuous week.

Mini-update from Canada

[(Anonymous)]

On Valentine’s Day, while Mr. Fancy Socks invoked the Emergencies Act (a rehashed version of the War Measures Act), RCMP officers at the protest in Milk River, Alberta, received gifts of roses from local children – many of them tiny tots (sorry, I lost the link). Potent ‘weapons’ of love: symbolic gestures that imply ‘we trust that you will do the right thing for us’. Adults gave roses to cops in their cars in Ottawa, too (https://www.facebook.com/shaun.zimmer/videos/985427739055786)

Also, the draconian Chief of Ottawa Police (Sloly) has been sacked (Feb 15). I guess he was not evil enough. With Mr. Fancy Socks eager to split some trucker heads under the Emergencies Act, he’ll no doubt be trying to recruit Darth Vader (“What do you mean, Darth Vader isn’t a real person! He’s a movie star, for God’s sakes! Get him on my payroll, I don’t care what’s his price!”). That should go over really well with the cops on the street who have been fist-bumping truckers and their supporters: https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/pro-tips-for-police-and-society/comments?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo2NDIxMjc1MywicG9zdF9pZCI6NDg2OTcwMTAsIl8iOiJPSzdKaCIsImlhdCI6MTY0NDk0ODY4MSwiZXhwIjoxNjQ0OTUyMjgxLCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMzIzOTE0Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.B0WrZS6cF_yaYSyE7LaXSHUjlkIJDR0eJQoqb01_X_Y&r=128avl

I'm comparing grim to bleak. I think grim is better.
In Canada I am hopeful there is some principle
that will undo the latest barrage. A Thomas
Sheridan video said Britain and Germany also
fought on the astral plane with magic (I think
I got that right). Those of us not well versed in
magic must have a reservoir of 'good energy'
we can send into the universal ether to work for
good yes?

Vax cheerleaders collapsing mid-cheer

[tunesmyth]

There seems to be a rather chilling trend lately of vocal pharmaceutical product supporters keeling over at the very moment they are defending the product in question. First Heather McDonald, then this German TV presenter (whose name has not surfaced yet in the places I've seen this video).

Have I missed any other examples? Two is pretty shocking, but if there end up being three, I feel it will be a pretty rock solid personal propaganda tool to help viscerally persuade friends and loved ones that these particular pharmaceutical products... may not be such a good idea after all.

Re: Vax cheerleaders collapsing mid-cheer

It's easy to exagerate the importance of this kind of events. After all these 2 cultists are not even dead.

Meanwhile, nobody cares that children dying suddenly has become perfectly normal - even when 2 teenagers die in the same day: https://www.thedesertreview.com/opinion/columnists/lightning-strikes-twice-two-high-schools-sudden-deaths-on-the-same-day/article_d5375cdc-8dbb-11ec-ac07-73af1dfa9c96.html

Conspiracist?

[(Anonymous)]

I came to a realization this week. As to the opinion of a majority of scientists, after the unscientific demonization of Ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine, the mostly unscientific mandates, the widespread use of remdesivir (Fauci), the Fauci/FDA/CDC demand that there be no pre-treatment with therapeutics of people with Covid before hospitalization, and the recent federal withdrawal of monoclonal antibodies, led to the death of more people than Covid.

I realize I might sound like what our elite media say when they say conspiracist. But I am not alleging a vast conspiracy. I think most people in Health Care do what they are told what has to be done, their job depends on them not questioning what they are told sometimes, and once a thing is widely done it becomes harder to question. It is a pandemic and people were scared, and many remain scared, and not just of the virus anymore. If there is a conspiracy, it is among those who told them what to do, with the threat of the ending of one's career for anyone who questions it.

But remdesivir is still used, and most hospitals still have no pretreatment policy, two years in, and the mood is such that you cannot publicly question the narrative without being called anti-vaxx. The majority of scientists and health care professionals I would fully expect not to admit this, ever. But the truth has a way of making itself known regardless of the ability of our current elite to censor information they claim to be mis-mal-disinfomation.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I stand by what I have said. Now that the government has officially labeled "anti-vaxxers" as potential terrorists, I think we can assume, as the elite are revealing themselves not just with censorship but the open threat that they will freeze and even take the money from your bank account, there are people being paid, and not, scouring the internet for those who question the narrative, making lists. I will be thinking about that whenever and wherever I comment. I will be commenting less too, less widely, being more meditative about it, less hostile. This is an information war. It is just as unethical as one might imagine any war to be. I mean to be ethical, in defiance, if commenting is taking a side, or if only because I refuse to lower my self to their level.

Re: Conspiracist?

Yeah, but as someone who has always been very sceptical of Western medicine it's always been this way. The original anti vaxxers were some of the most demonised people in our society, cast out as heretics. What's happening now is more people are just joining them in the wilderness.

Religious exemption

[(Anonymous)]

i was recently contracted by a music college to teach private lessons - they have an "everyone must be boosted" policy, so I'm going to claim a religious exemption as a Thelemite and, by way of explanation, plan to forward them a handy website which consolidates the text of Liber AL with Crowley's complete first and second comments thereon for their reading pleasure. I'm eager to see how they do!

Re: Religious exemption

Excellent! Let us know how that goes.

As others have no doubt pointed out, in Canada the shale is starting to find the air conditioner.

The Emergencies Act, the successors to the War Measures Act is no joke.

The section invoked "public order emergency means an emergency that arises from threats to the security of Canada and that is so serious as to be a national emergency; (état d’urgence)" is meant to deal with civil war, insurrection, separation (hello Quebec & the October Crisis)...

From its declaration the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms no longer apply. As Canadians saw with the October Crisis the police now have the authority to round up people, legal niceties be darned.

The government has stated that all banking is now subject to government approval. And they plan on making these changes permanent.

The truckers to their eternal credit are taking things calmly and have stated they have every intention of carrying on till the end.

Last bit. I donated through GiveSendGo. Apparently my donation was sufficient as to risk having my bank account frozen. My only regret was that I didn't have more. Only 36,000 Canadians. I'm a tad disappointed.

First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you. (I believe we are here)
Then we win.

I seem to be okay at the moment, still taking my vitamin D and doing workouts. However, things have gotten possibly strange:

1) I've suddenly gotten an allergy to Aspartame. Yes, I know we're talking about a low-level dangerous chemical, I've been quite tolerant of the stuff until the last week when, suddenly, I found myself having sudden sinus attacks (which have disappeared quickly after I stopped drinking the Aspartame sweetened drink) over the past three weeks. The first time I noted it and left it at that, the second time I noted it and decided to experiment, the third time I made a point of choosing a bit more carefully.

2) Got me some Zinc/Elderberry supplement gummies, did them for a couple of days, noticed that I suddenly had higher blood pressure and tension in the back of my neck – enough to keep me awake in the morning during a catchup nap. Decided to skip doses, things seemed to improve. May be the zinc (have noticed a bit of reaction to that stuff)...

...however, I find it interesting that I seem to be suddenly a bit more sensitive to what's going on around me over the past month. Medium-term reaction to Covid (hoping I didn't catch Delta)? Long term reaction to the Vaccine (even without a booster)? Coincidence? Who knows – either way, it's been an interesting month.

Stress Relief du Jour

With bonus puppy 🐶!

Does anyone think it sounds weird for a young woman to refer to herself as her pet’s mommy? Up until very recently, such usage was the province of old ladies. I wonder what changed? Maybe it’s a symptom of Long Covid? 😷

Someone mentioned Naked Capitalism being a good source of eek-Covid. I swear their Covid section gets longer every day (I normally just skim it).

Any time a woman of reproductive age calls herself the mommy of an animal, well, maybe it's just me, but it sounds as though she's saying something rather awkward about her choice of bed partners....

This one produced a hearty chuckle. Premier Doug Ford is "done with these mandates". Errr, wasn't this guy proclaiming a state of emergency a few days ago? Goodness, things are really getting surreal.

I wonder what the logical conclusion to the War on Truckers is going to be? Will it fail just as badly as the War on Drugs? Or can we stomp out all truck use in our lifetime if we try hard enough? Can Trudeau turn Canada into the next North Korea?

Probably it might be a good time to invest in self-driving big rigs, as no doubt Congress and Wall Street are going to throw a trillion down that hole. Too bad they won't find the material to build the 50,000 lb batteries it would take to run such a rig.Get the money out quick thereafter!

This statement from Kunstler isn't quite on topic (except insofar as we're experiencing an accelerating spiral of cultural madness which includes the Covid vaccines), but it's too good not to pass along:

If the ads on the Superbowl each year are like a Rorschach test for the nation’s mental condition, then this year’s ad-roll was a cavalcade of frantic hallucinations suggesting a near-complete detachment from reality for an audience of ADD-disabled cell phone slaves locked into a Big Tech induced consensus trance.

The review in the Washington Post described it as "righteous", while being unable to reprint any but a very few of the words being sung. It ended with the strikingly ambiguous rhetorical question: "Just imagine if this were normal!"

MY ideal of righteous music performed by a Man of Color:

"I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world."

Despite all the bad news about the injections, here's some good news. Someone close to me, who got mRNA injections in the 3rd and 4th months of pregnancy, recently gave birth. The baby is healthy and the birth was normal.

Wonderful news!

Suffering For Righteousness

[deng]

I thought this was worthy of posting. I hope you agree.

It's Suffering For Righteousness That Makes You A Man

Or a proper woman, of course.

Paul Rosenberg
freemansperspective.com

Up until political correctness enfeebled the West, we used to talk about things that “separated the men from the boys.” And however poorly the phrase may have been used, it had a legitimate point: It’s one thing to be male, it’s quite another to be a proper man.

The same obviously applies to women: It’s one thing to be female and quite another to be a proper woman. We used the male version of the phrase because most women’s roles were different (necessarily different) in the days before reliable birth control.

But on whichever side of the biological divide you find yourself, it’s suffering for righteousness that confirms you as legitimate, solid adult… as someone to be taken seriously.

Either You Haven’t Or You Have
There are all sorts of ways to make a show of being a legitimate adult: You can be a frightening brute, you can display your intellectual prowess, you can hold up your wealth, status or beauty, or you can threaten others with power that stands ready to avenge you. But none of those things make you a real man or a real woman. They are shows, not substance; they are ornamental plumage.

Becoming a real man requires you to suffer for righteousness. Not merely to suffer – everyone suffers – but to suffer because of your personal, moral devotion to something. That proves there is solid ground in your soul, and more or less nothing else does. All other proofs can be faked.

So, either you’ve taken a serious risk, suffered for it, and held your position; or else the rest of us can’t be sure of your solidity: Either you’ve suffered for something you thought was right (while punishers didn’t), or you haven’t.

Let me restate that for clarity:

Until you’ve suffered for righteousness, there’s no incontestable reason for the rest of us to take you as a serious adult.

And more than that, you have to suffer as an individual. You can be one of many who make a similar choice, but you have to face personal consequences, not collective consequences. Until you do, the rest of us have no way of being sure. Going along with a group, even a minority group, is not the same thing as making a costly individual choice, and until that happens, the rest of us lack a reason to trust you as an individual.

Being Right Isn’t Exactly The Point
It may seem that my use of the word “righteousness” makes being proven right a necessity, but that’s not actually the case. The core of this is having the strength to do what you believe is the right thing, in the face of contrary power.

If, believing yourself to be right, you make a hard choice and suffer for it, you’ve shown yourself to be a man or woman, even if you later learn that you were mistaken. What needs to be demonstrated is an honest and strong soul, not factual precision. The best explanation of this I know came from Thomas Jefferson:

Your own reason is the only oracle given you by heaven, and you are answerable, not for the rightness, but uprightness of the decision.

It’s the uprightness and courage of what you do that matters. Your uprightness is the fundamental, not your rightness.

The truth, of course, is that people willing to suffer for righteousness are far more likely to be right than those who follow the crowd, but that’s not the core issue.

Do Hard Times Make Hard Men?
The belief that hard times make hard men is an old one. I tend not to hold that belief, because our development doesn’t actually require darkness, and also because brutally hard times turn boys and girls into broken men and women. If we rely upon brutal times, we doom ourselves to heavy damage.

Still, there’s some truth to this, because hard times force people into suffering for what is right. And we’re seeing this right now.

And so the question becomes, who is suffering for righteousness right now?

Homeschoolers have been suffering that way for quite some time. They’ve been called everything, made the butt of endless jokes and barbs, and worse. Likewise Bitcoiners; they’ve been called fools, suckers, crazies, and so on at length. Things are changing a bit now, but in both of these arenas courage was required; if you couldn’t muster it, you fell away.

We’re now seeing the same and worse directed at people who don’t want the quasi-vaccines officialdom is demanding. These people are being broadly and profoundly discriminated against. Huge numbers of them have been fired from their jobs, forbidden from stores and restaurants, fined and threatened with jail time.

These people are suffering for righteousness; they are showing solid ground in their souls. And it doesn’t matter whether or not the statistics bear them out five years from now. The fact that they are standing for what they think is right, and bearing personal costs, is enough.

The same is true for the protesting truckers: They are taking risks for what they believe, making themselves respectable men and women. This moment is creating people who are solid. They will certainly continue making errors – we all do – but they are not to be confused with empty conformists.

What Was Your Rite of Passage?
Suffering for righteousness is a very pure rite of passage, and we need more such rites; not only to prove things to others, but to prove them to ourselves. In other words, you need to know that you’ve done the hard things, suffered for them and stood to the challenge. Yes, other people need to see that in us, but we also need to see it in ourselves.

Rites of passage are necessary. They have to be hard; they have to cost you in some significant way. In a perfect world things might be different, but this isn’t a perfect world. If you can’t think of your own passages, you had better start taking the question seriously.

Being a non-conformist comes with a price attached, but paying it transforms us into something more. It’s a price we all need to pay, and hopefully sooner rather than later.

Suffering is not a virtue of itself, but suffering for righteousness illuminates the fact that we are more than placeholders and followers… that we are upright men and women, to be taken seriously.

"After over two weeks and a local end to vaxx passports, the truckers will be ending the blockade along the US-Canada border at Coutts. This was today."

I hope this interaction between the police and the protestors plays out across the country, and a similar reaction is seen with the military.

Bravo for the Mel Brooks reference.

I'm uncertain if these have been posted but here is Dr. John Campbell on myocarditis post-vaxx. He sums up the contents of the video in the first few minutes if you don't have a half hour to kill:

He refers to this article in his video, which references a JAMA study showing a 133x risk of myocarditis post-vaxx:

Nothing shocking for those of us paying attention, but it's not being taken down from Youtube.
