Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 54

meme 2As we move further 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. 

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.  

A Couple of Canadian Service Announcements…

Those within the group who have been following the socio-political-legal aspects of the “fox and mandates” situation in Canada may be interested in one or both of the following recent developments:

1 - The Public Order Emergency Commission – which was created to inquire into the circumstances that led to the declaration of emergency on February 14, 2022, and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency – has opened the public submission process to allow Canadians to share their views and experiences on all aspects of the Commission’s mandate. Guidance on the production and submission of emails/letters, including a recommended submission deadline of early September is provided here: https://publicorderemergencycommission.ca/ The public hearings will be starting on September 19, which will receive extensive (live, I believe) coverage by various Canadian alt media sources.

2 – Rebel News reporters were in Coutts, Alberta, covering the border closure by truckers in late January and early February this year; Rebel has just released an hour-long documentary out of the coverage. It managed to capture the "raw democracy" at the grassroots level and the actual negotiations with the police (RCMP). Getting local MLAs on board was the key to success. Here’s the link to the documentary: https://www.rebelnews.com/trucker_rebellion_the_story_of_the_coutts_blockade_premiere?utm_campaign=ks_couttsrelease_8_19_22&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel

It is not every time that a grassroots protest is successful in effecting major political change, but the closing of the US/Canada border at Coutts did exactly that. Before the protest, every single province in Canada had numerous zany mandates. But once the protesters at Coutts managed to force Premier Jason Kenny to drop Alberta's mandates, all the other provinces followed suit within one month (as if each province was scared to be first). Personally, I suspect that the success of Coutts was what really freaked out the federal Liberals and got them to invoke the Emergencies Act almost as a knee-jerk reaction (a reaction which, many of us hope, they will live to regret). Only 3 months after the Coutts incident, Jason Kenny was voted down as the province's leader during a leadership review largely due to virtually every freedom fighter in Alberta purchasing a party membership in order to vote... Kenny’s replacement has not yet been chosen.

Thanks, that is great news. It shows that grassroots political action *can* work and is therefore worth doing, even if you can't win every battle.

Here's another thing, Ron - Canadians deserve to hear that the basis for the Emergency Measures was literally a meme produced by a politically-incorrect Podcaster.

Regardless of one's politics, everyone in Canada needs to know this. Our government is so inept that they used a meme-joke as the basis for invoking martial law, claiming that it was real (it wasn't):

Ah, yes, Diagolon: the online joke by Jeremy MacKenzie that has been spun by MSM to be a real ultra-right militant group. We should not be surprised since we had a (Jewish) Liberal Minister of Parliament state in early February, during Question Period, that "honk honk" really means "heil h!tler" because it is there on 4chan. She conveniently neglected to mention that beside the statement was Pepe the Frog made up like a clown and reference to a meme that was used to troll the Canadian MSM in 2021. OMG, maybe Pepe -- the world's most dangerous cartoon frog -- and Jeremy are in cahouts!!!

Sounds like you know about it already. But many people don't.
