Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 64

[ecosophia]

As we proceed through 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.

Thanks for this! Saving the link, and looking forward to starting it tonight. Is this a series? Are there more episodes coming?

Century of Self blew my gourd when I first saw it. Still does. That series, more than anything, introduced me to The Whale.

The way you frame things here, an obvious comparison is coming to mind that never has before. Not sure why it didn't earlier. Putin has a lot of overlap with Napoleon, minus the desire to "conquer the known world", barring the obvious war in Ukraine, which NATO would have you believe is the first step to a Napoleonic Empire. Both strong leaders, emerging as ambitious mid-level functionaries out of a period of social chaos, wrangling order back into the world, and praised for it by their people.

Glad people like Adam Curtis here too!

His perspective on Putin is a bit different, more in the vein of a still collapsing empire and someone being chosen for power to not prosecute the rich. Though I may be misremembering.

It looks like there are 7 or so episodes and it, as far as I am in, is just this archival footage that really makes me feel like im there.

It probably helps that my parents immigrated from a former part of ths Soviet Union so many idiosynchacies I find quaint.

I wonder if the same couldn't be said for Napoleon?

Do your parents have an opinion of the current state of the world as compared to the end of the Soviet Union?

Possibly, I'm not too familiar with Napoleon on further reflection and could use more brushing up on that time.

My parents left Poland just before the end, they talk about how shortly after they were able to leave emigration became restricted. It's difficult to ascertain their perspective, I know they are very fearful of Russia from having grown up in the Soviet Union and being aware of all the squashed student uprisings.

They were very stressed at the start of the conflict and largely keep in line with what the regular news is reporting, but they haven't mentioned it for a few months.
