Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 29

[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 Canadian officials launch a campaign of reprisals against citizens who supported a peaceful protest against government policy, and the words "died suddenly" become the favorite media euphemism of our time, the floor is open for discussion.

Temporary Reality-

i re-read that another TWO times because it's sooo rich and i smiled wondering how you could WRITE that and not know you ARE most definitely The Pretty One now???

everything you said is mad rich with understanding and it seemed a chorus on the side re-iterated what Papa G has started here.

The Pretty Ones isn't about some imagined static future of perceived perfection. it's about swagger an attitude setting the standards being the first to bring things to the fore...the ones people pay attention and copy and riff off of sample steal... all yes yes yes.

these are GOOD things.

and the reason we're The Pretty Ones Now is because they've run out of road. ideas. they've hit the wall. this is where if we were in an argument we'd have to give them room to step up to themselves.

we're the pretty ones because they're DYING and we're alive.

we're not Pretty because we're smooth skinned and size 3s or young or big assed or round or tall or gingers or brunettes and we're sure as hell NOT Pretty because we follow orders.

we're PRETTY as hell because we have heart imagination are willing to caterwaul ugly screams and fight for what we love and take all the punches that come from being from WILLING TO BE HELLA UGLY.

we're The Pretty Ones precisely because we're willing to be so damn UGLY and wrong and admit we were serial killers in past lives or THIS life. we're PRETTY because we're the HUMAN ones and they are stumbling and yes...

have forgotten HOW to be human. hence Klaus Schwab. but really... the news the TV shows the innerwebs the influencers and reality stars... they are not exactly bouquets of originality.

and people have been TRAINED do not undermine daily constant training of already tending to go along to keep the peace, then you have to "thumbs up" an inane photograph of someone you don't even KNOW to...

KEEP THE PEACE.

i saw that with my friend's girlfriend crashed our party to meet me when i begged to NOT have to meet her. we were having a deep talk and she made an excuse to stop by then she was distracted by a phone zap as everyone is now, and she nodded as she got her drip and interrupted a great conversation with, "so and so didn't 'like' my photo. i knew she was mad at me!"

that's when i realized social media was even more complicated than the first time i screwed up my courage and tried to go down on a woman. because women will tell you you're doing great one-on-one then trash you in the ladies' room next day... and for the rest of your LIFE.

that's why i do it so well, though. fear of being publicly shredded for sucking in bed is where i BAAA! BAAA! like a complacent lamb/sheep girl. if you can't even KISS right you don't deserve your swagger.

so Temporary Reality...

back to YOU:

all my life when i'd go to cafes and talk like we do here, SOMEONE SITS NEARBY PRETENDING TO READ THE SAME PAGE IN THEIR BOOK FOR HOURS.

and this is how everyone HERE talks and thinks and lives, too.

so i'm not just blowing smoke up all our skirts when i say:

HELL YEAH WE'RE THE PRETTY ONES NOW.

have you ever gone to their parties? this is IT. we're living their idea of a good time.

if we can't pitch something superior to this when it's all dissolving before our eyes then no... i'm afraid not. we're not so pretty after all.

but we ARE. we already are doing the first works of fighting for imaginations BACK. that's FREEDOM! that's the you can imprison me/i will be free of Papa G's raisin day truh. i don't speak/spell french. let the Canadians fix it.

and we are doing the work of moving the RAILS. the hard work of being there to watch the SWITCH. what a time to be alive. again: when i'm not staring at the ceiling in horror, i try to pretend i'm before-birth choosing the best rollercoaster ride of a time to be ALIVE... and this would be IT.

we're the pretty ones because we're changing the MUSIC. how dead is everything! we're the first ones on the scene come to resuscitate... what?

i don't know. but we're PRETTY because we're struggling to be clean try a new (OLD!) way. this stuff feels OLD. creaky old. oil really must've been one helluva drug, to paraphrase Rick James.

we're the pretty ones because we're willing to take a punch for love and to be a true and real romantic is not flowers and cheap candy, it's getting RAVAGED and coming back to cover your love corner AGAIN the next day and take a hit and ...

that's how you SELL and PITCH this honor thing.

it's contagious watching someone stand still for something they believe in and own it and be willing to calmly FIRMLY say their piece. or peace.

we're pretty because we're the opposite of all their whingeing fear and passive aggressive avoiding.

we're The Pretty Ones because we make life look like it's worth living again.

you said it yourself we're downright GORGEOUS here.

own it. it'll actually save you time.

OK, I give in :D

i don't want you to "give in," Temporary Reality: my pitch to YOU in particular has been:

"Temporary Reality... you're not boring you're not tedious you're not to be quieted because YOU KNOW SO MUCH AND I WANNA KNOW HEAR AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE KEEPING TO YOURSELF."

because you don't YET really buy into you, yourself, being all that and the proverbial bag o' chips, when you ARE.

it's a long healing a long game this changing our minds from this where we are.

i've never met you but i already know you're all heart and to not be wasted.

By "give in" I only meant that I wasn't clinging to my notion of "we're not pretty yet" too tightly :) I see your point and mine both: we're doing the work, there's more work to be done.
