Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 66

[ecosophia]

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.

Unexpected Truckers Commission News Flash

[(Anonymous)]

This week Canada’s Public Order Emergency Commission inquiry (i.e., “Trucker’s Commission”) has been focusing on the “side shows” of the protests that took place at two Canada-US borders (Windsor Ontario and Coutts Alberta) at the time of the Ottawa protest but were non-existent at the time that Prime Menace Turdeau uttered “The Deplorable Word” (invoked the Emergencies Act). Not a lot to report in general (lots of cops giving testimony, one of whom stated that protesters used children as ‘human shields’ even though a police investigation proved that it was simply a rumour on social media; videos of militarized cops using ‘questionable’ crowd-crushing tactics in Windsor are not being shown). Today is Day 20. It was interesting that this morning the mayor of Coutts (who was not a fan of the blockade) stated that about 70% of his village’s inhabitants supported the blockade. He also stated that most of the blockade was by farmers, not truckers.

Now for the news flash. In the early afternoon – but before the scheduled lunch break – Commission lawyer Gabriel Poliquin keeled over in the middle of questioning a witness. He bent his head to take a swig from his water bottle… and he just kept going down. An ambulance arrived. Witnesses on the scene say his face was not covered (i.e., likely not dead on the scene). Not sure whether his will be a ‘died suddenly’ story (hope not; I don’t wish that on anybody), but as an omen (and as a publicly viewed proceeding I take such events as transcending the circumstances of an individual), this collapse is not good.

Honk honk!

Dear lord this is shocking to hear. I can't imagine what weirdness is all wrapped up in this.

Was the lawyer on the pro or anti liberty side? That is indeed one heck of an omen.

The lawyer was questioning Mario di Tomasso, Deputy Solicitor General for the Government of Ontario (who had stated that the Ottawa protest had quickly morphed into an occupation, but there was no evidence of violent crimes – just the community’s sense of well-being was adversely affected) – just going through day-by-day meetings/discussions that Mario had other bureaucrats, when Gabriel goes down like a sack of potatoes. As a lawyer for the Commission, Gabriel’s job was to be neutral and get the witness to provide more detailed or contextualized information.

Oh my gosh.

Well, I watched the video. What's so strange about the video-- like so many of the videos of people keeling over (as posted on such sites as https://t.me/s/covidbc -- is how sudden it is. They seem to be completely normal, walking, playing sports, dancing, or speaking, as in this case, and all of a sudden: boom, they hit the floor.

Not that I have much experience in watching people keel over. I have no idea how normal this is, as far as normal goes in the Keeling Over Department. But I would have expected someone who was going to keel over to be feeling crummy for a spell, first maybe slowing down, and slowly going over to sit down somewhere...

People always look like that when they faint. I had classmates that fainted at the mention or sight of blood who did that, or all the people who keeled over during university exams. Sometimes they'll twitch and drool alarmingly as well.

but as an omen

You took the words out of my mouth - I can't imagine a more obvious omen.

Lessee... as an omen, he's the guy who represents nonpartisan fairness in the procedures?

Re: Unexpected Truckers Commission News Flash

Pretty much, Methylethyl -- at least the way I see it.

The Commission has had several such lawyers, who have been rotated throughout the proceedings (sometimes more than one in the same day). Over the past week, it has appeared that the Commission is not as unbiased and objective as it is supposed to be... trying not to make the connections about bureaucrats and politicians being in their own echo-chamber and ignoring police reports/advice; trying to obfuscate evidence of police brutality against protesters; and showing discomfort when protesters emotionally and emphatically talk about the immense psychological and economic harm that the mandates have wreaked on "Joe and Jane Canuck".

I take the unfortunate incident with the Commission lawyer to be an omen that the Commission is being compromised. This is in advance of next week's in-camera (un-public) testimony that will be given by Canada's spy agency (CSIS) in concert with federal politicians. Interesting timing, shall we say!

Me neither. I just wish that as with that... what was his name? Fetterman? The guy who was obviously cursed by God to lose? Anyway, I'm sure it wasn't anything like as clear as this omen, and no one could possibly get it upside-down this time.

Re: Unexpected Truckers Commission News Flash

John Fetterman. Yeah, he suffers a stroke which leaves him obviously mentally handcipped and, as he's speaking, all the flags blow down (if you want an omen, there ya go). I think that says more about Pennsylvania machine politics than anything else. The voters got what they wanted, and now they will have it. Pass 'em the ketchup.

Ugh. The idea's already being floated by lefty talking heads.

It'd be the perfect ticket, of course. Whoever's running things still gets to run things untrammeled without ever facing an election. And if you object, you're ableist.

Fetterman wasn't the sharpest tack in the box before his stroke, if you ask me, but there's a big difference between an auditory processing disorder (which can improve with therapy), or a minor speech impediment, and being "mentally handicapped." A lot of Americans have known people with worse speech impediments, or deaf people, or people physically disabled by a stroke, who were quite smart, yet shunned by employers or infantilized by strangers and even "helping professionals." I think the attempt to portray Fetterman as inferior backfired badly by creating sympathy in voters who've seen friends or family wrongly treated as mental inferiors because of a physical defect.

Or maybe Fetterman is a perfect symbol of the moment, a stroke victim. Maybe he’s a way to say “strokes are no big deal, this vax damage is no big deal. La la la la la”.

Ron M have you seen the revelations concerning the 'private citizen' who launched the class action lawsuit based on being harassed by honking?

Zexi Lee is not simply the unassuming private citizen she is made out to be.

Re: Unexpected Truckers Commission News Flash

[(Anonymous)]

I am aware of the revelations that Zexi Lee is a federal government employee who has close ties with municipal politicians - and that the lawyer whom she hired for her class action lawsuit approached her (which is illegal).

If there are any other interesting details about this nasty little piece of business (Zexi Lee), please let us know!

Thanks for the revealing clip. I remember Brendan Miller asking Zexi that question, but because he did not follow up with more questions, I did not dwell on it. As it is, there was enough shocking testimony from Zexi's lips to keep us occupied. And besides, it was our first day watching Convoy lawyer Brendan Miller and were not familiar with his modus operandi. A lot of lawyers go 'fishing', but not Miller. He knows a lot more than he lets on and he very slowly builds cases around witnesses' sworn testimony even when he appears to be 'just fishing'. Usually his last question is the most important and revealing -- but not necessarily revealing at the time that the question is asked. Let's see where all this leads.
