smudge goes thereAs 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.

Eric Hoffer! My dad used to hang out with him at Red's Java House.

When I read your posts I think of that old wild self-expressive joyful spirit of San Francisco.


WOW WOW WOW.

every time i ride my bicycle down 24th street past Cafe La Boheme, i take a huuuge deep breath and SING as loud as i can: "LAAAAA BOHEEEEEEEME!" because i'm courting the owner in case i wanna pitch him later.

i met a Nuyorican on Mission street when i was at the fabric store at 17th, and it was in the middle of lockdowns, and he was doing something akin to spoken word how he talked to his friend.

he was singing with me as i rolled up and i laughed at what he was saying to his friend.

when i got out of the fabric store, he was waiting by my bicycle for me, and so we went on a couple or few dates. ONE at La Boheme for hours where we were sitting outside and we created a PARTY when the Low Riders cruised by on that saturday afternoon.

the La Boheme owner was hella grouchy, but by the time we left, he slipped by and thanked me almost under his grouchy breath for stopping by.

i smiled and KNEW he was the best kind of grouchy people. so now i sing his cafe's name when i pass by... just in case we all wanna meet there at 24th/mission, center of transportation.

an elder first took me to La Boheme when i first moved to san francisco in 1994. said it was where all the best and real artists and writers went.

no more./but soon again.

yeah. Eric Hoffer reminds me of my own late mentor, Kris Kovick, when i read him or see his old interviews.

i never got why she was into Gay Shame even back in '94. she didn't wanna be mainstream. she just wanted to be Left Alone.

on an old YT interview i saw Eric Hoffer's apartment building and James and i were thinking SOMEONE'S GOTTA KNOW WHERE THAT WAS!

he just lived in a ROOM!

it looked like Chinatown. or North Beach.

anyhow, yeah, Cetiosaurus... i want that fun stuff back.
