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.
Re: John Leake on the cancellation and suicide of Stefan Mickisch

(Assuming Mickisch did kill himself-- I'm not sure what to believe anymore these days.) And my first thought about Mikisch was, what a shame he could not have held on a little while longer, for the carousel is turning, slowly, slowly, but it is turning, many people are starting to realize that he was right, and in years to come he would have stood as a shining star to so many people.
We will need people who are artists and experts, who know and cherish and can teach us about the wonders of our culture, that the best of it may survive the years to come. We could debate the merits of Richard Wagner, yes, there is much darkness in his life and work, but Wagner was vastly influential, and his music beautiful, original, and powerful and I have no doubt that, eventually, Mickisch's voice and performances would have been again highly respected and deeply appreciated, and perhaps more than ever before.
If anyone feels despair, please hang on!! This too shall pass.

If you stop playing, for any reason, they win. Now, they may still win anyway, but if you keep going, even if it feels like you are trudging through sludge and taking slings and arrows, well, you MIGHT win.
Just keep going.
