Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65

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.

I bore a great grin of satisfaction when I heard that the government was freaking out over the pace of donations, because of what it signified about the movement's popularity.
Tamara Lich is a sweet-hearted lady and it's my life mission to hug her.
On the "divine hand" aspect: I was speaking to my wife about this and we realized that this protest had to happen in Canada - because it had to be peaceful. If there had been any whiff of genuine violence about the protest, we could well be building back better under martial law right now, as another commenter said.
Can't wait to hear your run-down on Friday! (I'll send my view in advance: my boys Chris and Jeremy pwned them).
Re: Thursday’s Testimony at the Truckers Commission
Date: 2022-11-05 06:31 pm (UTC)I'll be honest that I was both excited and nervous about Jeremy testifying: not as though I think that he is guilty of anything other than a wicked sense of humour, but with the combination of the system's determined effort to break him through illegal and inhumane forms of incarceration and grilling by laywers, I had my doubts and hoped and prayed that he would pass through the gauntlet unscathed. And so he did! Like his girlfriend told Viva Frei a few days ago, "Jeremy's been through worse"... the guy's got stones the size of Gibraltar Rock!
As for Chris, may the Gods bless him abundantly! This brave, damaged, lion-hearted patriot did our whole country proud on Friday! Based on what I know about him, I know that had the confrontation gone on for a second day, he would have been in the front line on Feb 20th, too!
