Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 66

Smudge for the winAs 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.

Jessica Rose, Australia Births Numbers

[personal profile] methylethyl 2022-11-14 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
https://jessicar.substack.com/p/whats-going-on-with-births-down-under

This popped into my inbox today. Looks like Australia's published births numbers for 2021, and... you really need to see the charts for yourself. That looks dramatically worse than what's going on with births numbers in Europe and the US, and it starts earlier, too.

I don't entirely trust JR as a source, and I'd *like* for someone else to look at that and tell me that is some kind of graph voodoo making it look worse than it really is, OR that Australia simply has a dramatic data-lag problem and it's gonna take another six months for them to actually tally all the births for 2021 accurately, so that dropoff is simply an artefact of slow reporting.

I don't know. Is what she's reporting real? If so, it's... what the heck?

I just received a link to a new paper that has been accepted for publication, presenting more evidence of spike protein toxicity, this time with regard to hematopoietic step progenitor cells in umbilical cord blood. It's quite technical, but they found damage from both COVID infection and vaccination, but worse in the latter case, via induction of apoptois.

Thoughts on Cynicism

(Anonymous) 2022-11-14 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
...cynicism is an Old World indulgence because it is a passive, sedentary response dripping with effeminate effete "do me" entitlement.

it doesn't create because the act of creation is antithetical to real cynicism.

so then it's often armor. for a child's broken heart.

but when you feeling an adult, full of one's own AGENCY, you have a sense of honor. a code of conduct for yourself.

and when i died as i was and wanted to suicide, the moments i glimpsed how LOVED i was an wanting to die was coming in THEIR faces, i saw it... i saw myself as a petulant, "Who do you think YOU are?"

because Americans or maybe all of us in the west, we had all these "High Expectations." to become what? the best CFO in a company?

the dream has been rancid a long ass time.

anyhow, i wanted to die because I WANTED IN. i WANTED TO BELONG. and when i couldn't have it all -- be myself and not be the token -- i lost it all... but gained EVERYTHING.

that's why i cannot advocate this enough, this Living Suicide thing.

so i wanted to die because i was cynical about how fixed everything was and how soulless and cheap everyone in the book biz was and art and music... everything i loved...

and we'd ALL long since whored ourselves out.

to make a buck.

how you gonna go against in a world where we can't afford to live in our own countries anymore????

so then i watched the birds in Rudy's mom's bird bath and realized how much James loved me and how much i had and i was SUICIDAL because i had such "High Expectations" for myself?

EW! i had worms! this American Dream got wormy.

anyhow, i realized i was being an absolute BITCH.

i'd like to say that was that, i got it. no way. illusions and dreams leave stains and echos and i'd relapse because the reality of going on crappy job interviews on craigslist is its own rung in hell.

so it took me a few years to mourn who i was how i thought it was supposed to go, but when i awoke as the more recent Me, i now see how the cynic is like going on a road trip with Eyore.

during these Apocalyptic times, pick your side kicks and best friends with much care.

i've found that when i've got a temporary mild case of cynicism, i myself DO the thing i'm accusing others of falling short of. and LO! does that put it in perspective AND it actually reinforces my IDEALISM and ROMANTICISM because like the old adage about for every ONE cockroach you see, there are 50 more YOU DON'T SEE behind the wall... THAT is how i multiply my own romance and idealism exponentially. because if I can come clean about something horrible i've done, THEN OTHERS DO IT, TOO!

(i've used the same rationale to forgive myself for weird fantasies, too, so buyer beware of buying what i'm pitching you)

and to pick up on Mark's (?) requoting of was it Maya Angelou? "pay attention when people show you who they are"

I DO! i love that quote from long ago because i live that way and use it ALL ways.

so cynics actually are telling you that they are dead weight and never really actually create anything new out of nothing AND they don't surprise themselves by forcing themselves to step up to much of ANYTHING (hence the cynicism).

cynics are very much in a beta "show me tell me" position instead of DOING.

you may be cynical as a famous or wealthy entrepreneurial person who attracts whores eunuchs and fawns, but i tend to think those are just the fake cynics because people who build and create will also habitually keep looking for romance and purity like strung out gamblers they won't QUIT.

so those are fake scratch'em cynics who're romantics maybe to a fault or in extreme.

so that's my take on why cynicism is like acid to any future where we're creating our own way out of now way. / we have to vibrate to a certain chord to even envision SEE it... VIBE it.

(smile)

there. that's my take on why cynicism is HELLA played out.

plus, cynics can't shtup for nothing. / this is a new era of warmth and romance and cuddling. everyone's been too damn nasty too long. time to hold hands first since no one can look at EYES anymore. the young masked cashier at trader joe's said she gets anxious when she looks in anyone's eyes.

from here on out, as a writer and artist, i hope to make cynicism look as appealing as being farted on by someone you don't like, in a closed car driving through greely, colorado.

My profoundest sympathies. I hear nothing about my alma mater, thank goodness, but I have performed translations or English checking for a number of Tokyo University professors, some of whom I still respect highly, but found myself very deeply offended about 20 years ago when they started presenting me papers from public-private-academic partnerships. It looked like they'd sold their soul. No concern about human rights. I've become selective about whom I will help since then.

"But I also have a visceral, frankly irrational fear of it. Something is just....not right. I can't put my finger on it. Someone or something somewhere seems to have whispered to me "beware", and I listened. I feel like the above arguments came second, after the visceral recoil...But the cootie jabs make me shudder for less logical reasons I can't quite explain."

It's fascinating how many people have said some form of this. In fact, it seems to me that most if not all the people I know who resisted have said some variant of it of other....

Erika,
True story. I live in Amherst. (SF Jr., with a special dab of East coast snootiness.) Way back,long before the pandemic, I took special enjoyment from inviting in any religious proselytizers (usually here, this meant Jehovah's witnesses.) I know dozens of people here who just slam the door in their faces.

I'd offer them a cup of coffee and talk, comparing notes between their faith, and mine. My point was always to connect with the human being, and get them off the script. They would come back to my house, trying to convert me. Once, they brought a serious upgrade -- a missionary here from Africa-- Gambia, Ok think, but I have forgotten. He was apparently a higher-up in their church.

I asked him, "You must have traveled a lot. What's the most difficult place you've ever been in, where nobody is the least bit interested in talking to you?"

He paused, and a large smile spread over his face. "That would be here."

Despite any protestations to the contrary, that's how I think most "rational" decisions get made. First with the gut, and then painted over with a nice coat of rationality compatible with one's belief system. Less need to think this way.

What a superb takedown of all the people, notably public figures, responsible for the rotten contemptible behavior and disgusting policies we've been compelled to endure. I particularly appreciate his use of the adjective "accursed" to characterize the vaccines.

What is more, I remember Mr. Weissman as the author of the article entitled "31 Reasons Why I Won't Take the Vaccine," published over a year ago, which was similarly brilliant, biting and incisive. We need for there to be no shortage of this kind of public speech. In the (admittedly unlikely) event that I were to convert to Judaism, I would want this man for my rabbi.

Hi Erika,
I wrote that about the rhythm in your words....Hey If I heard a rhythmic sound to the words then you're putting it out there.........

I got talking to a Nigerian woman at the laundromat when I had just moved and was waiting to get a washing machine. She mopped up twice a day for twenty minutes or so each time on top of her full-time personal caretaker job. She sent money home for her kids. She could not fathom how we lived here in terms of the brokenness. I wonder if she took the jab to keep her job.

"i hope to make cynicism look as appealing as being farted on by someone you don't like, in a closed car driving through greely, colorado."

There must be a story there? :-). Not a lot of reasons to drive through Greeley, Colorado...


As for the Angelou quote, I think it depends on whether one interprets it in a "ser" or "estar" sort of way. In terms of seeing people as they are rather than as I want them to be, yes. In terms of suggesting that people can be permanently defined (and therefore dehumanized) based on their beliefs or actions in the moment, not so helpful.

I track Australian deaths as the ABS regularly publishes updates (currently +17.3%). ABS birth data is less granular, but available here for 2021 and is compared to preceding years: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/births-australia/2021

At an overview level things look OK, as it says:
Key statistics
- There were 309,996 registered births in 2021, an increase of 15,627 (5.3%) from 2020.
- For all Australian women, the total fertility rate was 1.70 births per woman.
- For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, the total fertility rate was 2.34 births per woman.

It doesn't split the year into periods, so you can't see what the Q4 2021 figures are.

The ABS often publishes interim data for a period then updates the figures as the data is finalised (some data arrives late). Perhaps someone got hold of an interim dataset, as a 70% drop is so massive it seems impossible to hush up.

However, having said that Dr Luke McLindon was fired from the Mater Hospital in Brisbane hospital in June 2022, as he was going public about a 70% miscarriage rate in vaxxed women there vs the normal 13-15% rate that he said still prevailed in unvaxxed women. The Mater Hospital denied that statement and said miscarriage rates were normal.

It's a question of waiting and watching. Personally, I'm not expecting good news.

Hey, all cynics deserve a right of reply. Yes, it's me again! :-)

Firstly, farting is a natural and healthy process that indicates your bowels are functioning normally, although excessive aromas suggest that you might want to moderate the curry, beer and mushy green peas in your diet. Nb. Sly farting in combination with an innocent look is a significant social skill.

Secondly, it's well worth reviewing the work of Paul Chefurka captured here http://www.paulchefurka.ca. He went on a voyage of discovery to uncover why we collectively do the self-destructive things we do. After that voyage he became a Buddhist teacher - very apposite.

He puts it much better than me:

"I no longer see any point in singling out individual aspects of the human experience for special attention or criticism. Population growth, climate change, global corporatism, chemical pollution, resource depletion, species extinctions, ocean overfishing and acidification, global financial instability, mounting social disparities and injustices are all merely symptoms of a system that has been out of control for centuries (despite our earnest attempts to convince ourselves otherwise.) We have no choice left - or perhaps we never really had any other choice - but to ride the dragon until the human overshoot corrects itself, as overshoots always do.

The silver lining I see is that all the pressures coming from this process of correction can be useful goads toward personal self-development. "In all matters, strive to do the right thing." What does this mean to each of us? What does mindful living in the midst of the whirlwind entail, what does it require of us in terms of personal growth, in the development of wisdom and self-awareness? How might each of us resolve our alienation - from each other, from our societies, from nature, from our own place in the universe? How may we find the re-connections that are essential if we are to emerge from this tumultuous, careless human adolescence into individual and collective adulthood? These are deep questions for dark times."

- - - -

"Overshoot, what overshoot?" says Wily E. Coyote, as he runs frantically in mid-air. You're just being cynical again.

It seems most likely that there is a data-lag. Australia started to vaxx people in the fertile age-group only in June-August 2021. In other countries the decline in births starts to decline 9 months after that moment. If births really started to decilne in November 2021, then Australia has a very different pattern then other countries. It will be woth watching the numbers, but for now the most likely explanation seems to be lagging data
