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.

Date: 2022-11-10 11:53 pm (UTC)You make a good point with #2, the physical and mental fragility of modern Americans throws a wrench into any predictions. The military is finding it hard to find enough people who pass the physical exam these days. However, the rich and powerful might think they can get around this by bringing in mercenaries from parts of the world that don't have as much of the modern, climate-controlled, safety-focused lifestyle.
As far as #3 goes, I agree that the divisions in modern America are very different than they were in the 1860s, and any modern civil war will be very different from the previous one. What concerns me is that during the Civil War, the regions where loyalties were divided often suffered most of all, even if they weren't in the path of the major armies. Families were divided, and warbands used the lawlessness of the war as an excuse to ravage the land. Cities/regions with different loyalties than the surrounding areas had a rough time of it too, an example being Knoxville, TN which was a stronghold for unionists in a confederate state.
Other nations also may have interest in provoking civil war here in America and destroying the heart of the American empire. I already wonder how much China is adding fuel to the fire through influence of social media. If civil war does break out, the complex map of political loyalties could make the outcome worse than if the majority of regions were clearly on one side or the other.

It's hard to imagine 'rooting' for Mitch McConnell or the other root-beer float brains.
As for the 'progressives' my god what a collection of wax statuettes.

Date: 2022-11-11 12:20 am (UTC)I'm glad now I have always been an introvert. Never part of a clique in school. Always an oddball few could label accurately. Wary of any new fad or in-group peer pressure. As the USA holidays approach I'm suddenly being invited back to a family Thanksgiving table after being thrown out - literally - last year for declining to state my medical history and the year before for not being worthy to be in their "bubble." Whenever I feel anger, fear or hate about those sorts of actions, I go into nature, let my mind wander, and then find it easy to "forgive" them. But I can't forget while accepting last year many of them will forget, twisting themselves into knots to blame anyone but themselves for the harms they did not just to me but to themselves, too.
Watched this week the movie, "The Banshees of Inisherin." A seething cauldron of people going nuts on an island each with uncontrollable internal fears. A bleak scenery of a treeless island checkerboarded with stone walls enclosing small fields of poor tired soil. A visual metaphor for every person living in their own painful walled reality. In the end, each character had to choose in their own different ways and in their own time what to forgive or not, forget or not.

Re: angry and scared about election results
Date: 2022-11-11 12:34 am (UTC)Very much so, to the point that while I will no longer vote blue, I also won't vote red.
As for DeSantis, this seemed to be a good assessment: https://unherd.com/thepost/ron-desantis-the-new-champion-of-trumpism/ He and Trump have had a bit of a falling out since the whole election-denial business.
Florida also used the end of Roe to pass a compromise 15-week abortion ban, bucking the trend of states moving to opposite extreme positions on the issue.

Date: 2022-11-11 12:35 am (UTC)Most dangerous psychopaths can't be deterred, are very bright and motivated and rarely respond to rehabilitation. Some like Hariri revel in describing, in detail, what they will subject the "usless eaters" to while proclaiming their virtious mandate to do so.
We've lost an eldery family member within eight weeks of a second dose to aggressive brain cancer and seen complications in others.
We've learned to believe people when they show us who they are.

Re: We're on our own...
Date: 2022-11-11 01:19 am (UTC)You defend yourself and wanna be liked and I say this i like you real and emotional and excited.
Even the ochre curmudgeon can take care of herself. ...a dude wouldn't have cared.
You cheated me and us by taking yourself out as you were. This is classic female stuff and where a lot of our rage comes from, for in your head bowing out and behaving will net you something in return.
What it is is different for each game player and the source of much agony because we are rarely ever up front about the terms....even to ourselves.
So I dare and beg for more scribbling outside the lines from you in 2023 because as a woman i crave more passionate emotional daring honest women like yourself. And you're brand new at this so it will be wobbly at times....yes plan many apologies but art needs air laughter forgiveness and all the snot placenta bones and screams.
If you are not safe as well as encouraged to fly and fxck up after all the love and sweat and time you've put in here...where oh where can you?

Re: WORDLE
Date: 2022-11-11 02:37 am (UTC)My sense is that covid (and Ukraine) are a one two combo. Ukraine let’s people all over the world FEEL like a Great War is happening, and it sort of ticks all the boxes power gets by having a war. But it’s (so far), nice and contained. For everyone outside of Ukraine, it’s like a roller coaster ride. All the thrills and chills, none of the actual danger.
Covid is where the actual dying happens. Whatever the cause, if you buy the covid narrative or if you think it’s all lizard people killing everyone, it’s hard to deny lots of people are dying, or have died. It’s on the scale of a decent sized global war. People might just be psychologically wiped out, aware that danger is about, death is stalking the hospital halls. 3 years of semi-regular adrenaline dumps can take a toll. Add to that the likely reality that many people ARE injured, and what I think we are seeing all around, in those blank stares, is a sea of walking wounded, subconsciously pondering what battle weary soldiers ponder.
Plus there is probably some woo layered onto that as well ;)
Murmuration.

Date: 2022-11-11 02:40 am (UTC)Meanwhile, Japan's leading activist for EHS and MCS human rights has been forced to flee her home in Sapporo. The strategy she has promoted is "shelter in place," since Japan lacks places to flee. Her house was well shielded, but the noise from construction of a campground next to her house was too much on top of the increasing electromagnetic burden we are all dealing with.
Re: Eisenstein - The Mask of Derision
Date: 2022-11-11 03:13 am (UTC)So Eisenstein has to say everything indirectly. Each point he makes has to be repeated three times always from a different angle. He goes in with shields up, plants his foot securely on common ground. Every step he takes after that is carefully placed and defended from all sides. Otherwise, he cannot occupy territory claimed by the other fellows.
It seems needlessly wordy to someone who simply says what they mean and means what they say. But words are tricky and have a mind of their own, in print especially. They sometime twist up to look us in the face like the flamingo Alice uses to hit the hedgehog when playing Looking-glass croquet.
