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. 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.

Speaking of celebrities, in the bookstore the other day I found a memoir by actress Sharon Stone. It begins with an account of a stroke she had in September '21. Of course there is no mention whatever of *that* subject. The opening is pretty well written; I hope she wrote it herself.

Date: 2022-11-06 07:03 pm (UTC)I'm reading this great magazine (I think it's a Music Spotlight Special Issue) about Loretta Lynn right now, and pretty much everyone they mention that was one of her friends seems to have died under the age of 65 (including 2 of her 6 children and one grandson). Though it was the 60/70's and then car and plane crashes took a bigger role (though that did have it's comeback in the 90's/early OO's). When Conway Twitty died of an aortal abdominal embolism at 57, collapsing during one of his concerts (she collapsed a lot in her early career - they don't sleep or eat properly while travelling), she spent the night running back and forth between his bed and her husband - who had just had major heart surgery - as they just happened to be in the same hospital at the same time.
I suppose something has still changed, though; Loretta lived well to a ripe old age, and the whole magazine breaks from the format of her being some sort of singular star held up above the others, to being this bright light amongst this ecosystem of incredible people all doing the same thing and building on each other at the time. I have such a long list of albums and biographies to look up now from the 60's/70's heyday of country music - the time of Owen Bradley at Decca Records pioneering the Nashville sound and raising up pretty much every female country singer you can think of at that time.
She was a really wonderful person, who had no illusions about reality.
"I was never ashamed of not having an education... There was nothin' I could do about it. If there'd a-been something I coulda done about it, then I'd a-been ashamed."
On her husband, Doolittle, who married here when she was 15 (he 21; and it's not like she was "old for her age" he gave her a children's doll when they were dating, and got her pregnant before she even knew what that was), and cheated on her relentlessly, usually also beating her drunkenly, - she still also credits him with her career. Both are completely true: he bought her her guitar, encouraged her to play and sing, and acted as her agent, living in their car and driving around the country with her. (Also, she always hit him back, one time knocking out his two front teeth. She thought he would kill her, but he laughed and never got them replaced. He was proud of it.) She just says, "Just remember, I'm explainin', not excusin'." They stayed married until he died of diabetes when he was 69, but her daughter Cissie said, "She lived a lonely life, a lonely life and so did Dad."
Ah well. It ends with a short profile of one of her grand-daughters (she had 20 grandchildren - she was a grandmother at 34 - 24 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren when she died at 90) and her album with a bunch of the grandchildren of other musicians from Lynn's era (including Twitty's granddaughter). Tayla Lynn "spent years dealing with substance abuse, which she ultimately got through with the help of Loretta." She says she got out of the extreme depression by duetting with Loretta, and covering her songs. That's when she stopped going solo and joined with the other grandchildren to cover their grandparents' original collaborations.

written it..........
....the recall seemed so finely-attuned and the descriptive writing
so well done......
but then, why wouldn't he have written it......
I wonder if Bob is Foxxed and Boostered up - hard to imagine
They're loading syringes at the hanging
They're painting vaccine passports brown
