Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65

the reason whyAs 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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.    

Another update from one nursing student

I have posted here before, and now it is time to give an update. The curriculum at my school seems to demand that all of us listen to the lies and be as indoctrinated as possible. I write this update out of great sadness because while we are participating in classes called "Health Literacy," where they teach us how to write propaganda professionally, two of my classmates have attempted suicide, which I personally believe is from the ever-growing demonic chants and mantras from the vax, that have been thrown around recently. Many around me are saying life is not worth it and have suicide jokes hinted in every single sentence. My friends tell me that there is no life for them... I'm not sure what to do, but this frightens me. If I could ask a small favor of any of the commentariat to pray for me. I am young, and I came to nursing school to learn basic skills to care for people. I'm not so sure about that idea anymore.

This seems common from what I can tell across education, especially in health, there is a lot of cynicism and dark humor. It can be a useful coping mechanism but ultimately, I agree it seems really harmful when not paired with real time to unpack.

I wish you all the best with your education, there is plenty of value in learning to care for people.

A friend of mine is a resident, where I found this type of attitude common, pre-vax so a bit different, but definitely very negative. I really admired her because she found the like-minded group and distanced herself when she felt that negativity was rubbing off on her. As a result, she found a great group of close friends and when conversations or topics stray to the negative she is quick to exit and sticks to her principles. I hope you find those people, assuming they are there, who also see the signs and don't want to fall into the spirals of doom.

I was recently in the hospital and it was caregivers like you who helped me to heal. Stick to your true beliefs. May your spirit be whole, full and healed.

The way I see it, now is the opportunity to power up and hone one's imagination. People who lack imagination fall into the "doom and gloom," the "I can't do this or that," everything is impossible, and so on. Things can be terrible indeed, but when you have your imagination, you have the world.

This may also be your signal to find some new friends-- those who are not so unimaginative and spiritually lazy.

What kind of friends do you want to have as you go through life?

I am not minimizing how difficult things can be, I get that-- and all the more reason to buck up and use your powers.

Whether nursing school would be your best path for learning how to care for people I could not say, but I do recognize that there is something extremely perverse and dangerous going on the mainstream medicine right now.

As you requested, I will pray for you, and may you be blessed.

Thank you for your intentions to care for people. I have been in the hospital many times and I always, always appreciated the nurses who were kind and helped me.

PS I don't mean to use your imagination to live in a world of fantasy, but rather, use it to find better ways to live a better life and achieve your goals. Your creativity requires your imagination. And a wicked sense of humor is also good to have.

This is wonderful Grumbling Grumbledore.

'Harnessing' the imagination to 'envision' possibilities is something many of us develop (or are developing) later in life (SAD COUGH).
This is a separate use of the imagination from 'creating' art works. It can go hand in hand and how wonderful that will be.

Prayers incoming!

I've been doing the Octagon Society work JMG posted here and one of my realizations about many of the awful things I went through as a child and into my 20's is how much it made me the person I am today. I got to the point now in my mid-50's to be at peace with what happened. I hope the healing process is faster for you and I hope that your resolve doesn't diminish. That part of you holding on, do what you can to strengthen it.
