Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 53

[ecosophia]

As we move into the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

(Yes, the change in image theme reflects that; the earlier sequence served its purpose. With a nod to El Gato Malo (1, 2, 3), the posts to come will be headed by thoughtful memes relevant to the Covid mess. Yes, I'll take nominations -- you can post links in the thread.)

So it's time for another open post. 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, the floor is open for discussion.

Thank you JMG for hosting these discussions, it has honestly been a soothing oasis of sanity as I try to get my bearings in this upside down reality. I only wish there was a way to build relationships with many of you outside of the internet.

I'd like to run this by others here - does it seem to anyone else that a lot more people these days have become downright unhinged, lost their tether to normalcy? I can't shake the feeling of being a character in a spooky movie or video game, where the Big Bad is coming and the crazy people are acting out, influenced by the ominous background music.

Just one example where it hit me, I went to a bar I've been going to for years in a sometimes questionable part of town. It's usually fairly calm despite it's location, but this last time there was a man dancing and posing in the middle of a busy street, clearly out of his mind; more homeless roaming around begging than I've ever seen there before; and I was approached by a man who threatened me if I didn't give him money (I was able to safely remove myself from the situation, thankfully). It was just such a jarring experience I've been mulling it over ever since.

This is in addition to noticing people driving unusually bad, ERs overflowing with the mentally ill, a remarkable amount of people in my office who are out on leave due to mental health issues...

Yes, I think many people sense that we are in a holding period of time, a bit of the doldrums. It's an eerie feeling, KNOWING that shoes or swords are due to start dropping, but haven't yet begun.

There is a slackness right now, and I find myself wondering if the projects I'm working on even matter. The world could be so different this time next year that the work I'm doing now could be pointless. I say this coming from a history of having believed in the fast collapse for a couple years, and also feeling things were pointless back then. THIS feels different. I will of course adjust as the situation plays itself out, but I have a bit of a feeling of "pushing on rope" or "why bother". It's not a good feeling, and I think many many people feel it too. It's kind of crazy-making.

I absolutely agree with your analysis.

It all feels very eerie and fraught and opaque. If you stop and observe, you can FEEL the tension AND panic beginning to increase as people come to realize (and try to come to grips with) what has been done to our world - socially, economically, politically and medically. The sense of disorientation and disbelief out there is palpable - along with the fear of what is going to happen next.

I've seen a lot in my 65 years on this rock but I agree that it feels different this time. Maybe it's simply because I can see so many possible outcomes but without a clear sense of exactly what is going to happen next. It's all new territory because the scale and scope of this outrage is so vast. I have also put off some decisions and plans because I can't get a good reading of the lay of the land at this point. I am just watching and waiting.

Yes, I perceive that a good many people out there are insane, and of many are actually possessed, to some degree, at some times. A lot of people are just drugged up-- they don't want to be here.

I too have felt like I'm in some bad horror movie for the past 2 years.

I'm doing the best I can, and I am optimistic, but dang, it has been rough. Very lonely. I'll be fine, though, and every day I give thanks for my health.

As for meeting other people: the anonymity of this forum (not for everyone, but for most of us) is crucial. I think it's going to be possible to meet like-minded people where you live if you get out and do things-- hunt for mushrooms, train a dog, volunteer in a garden, anything that involves doing things with your hands in real space with live people. I would add to that getting involved in the political process wherever you are. Candidates for local and nation office who are running on medical freedom platforms need help!

And, as you would expect, the Black Oobleck is thicker than ever these days. I'm hoping for a bit of surcease once that war on the Eurasian steppe starts winding down.
