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: 2022-11-09 09:43 pm (UTC)Don't despair! I was flabbergasted watching results roll in last night too. How is 'murder, censorship, and tyranny' a winning campaign?! Even though I'm not a republican (or democrat), I was hoping the red wave story would have played out as fantasized. I can't tell you how many people, in this blue area, when talking quietly, say the vector we are on is insane. That made me think the wave would come crashing in. And then the investigations would start. But it didn't. I've been to this rodeo before. Lucy got me again anyway.
And then I realized, I had bought in to the damn story again, for a bit. They had hooked this fish. I was up and down with the red wave. And it occurred to me, faster this time than before, THEY won't be helpful in fixing this. THEY never were going to be. I had hoped they would lift some of this weight, get the ball rolling, crack the narrative. They still might, who knows. Then your words echoed for me...
This is on us. This is OUR job. This is our burden and privilege to shoulder. We get to be the pretty ones. You and me and everyone here. It will take longer. It will be harder. It will be all the more spectacular for it, when we look back and tell the story. We have a setup for an epic story for the ages. We just need to not quit.
The whale was never the answer. You are. We are.
Keep your hand on the plow. Hold on.
Murmuration.

Is 3 million child deaths a year considered just normal for "non-tyrannical" times or "excess deaths caused by idiots"? Obviously, that depends a great deal on whether those were the children of anyone who mattered).

Thank you.

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 06:14 am (UTC)to put this in animal house terms, we are flounder, who got his brother's car destroyed by the rest of the gang. the lesson to be learned?
otter: "you fxxxed up. you trusted us."
something something won't get fooled again.
it's going to get a bit more complicated than just sitting around and hoping people wake up to what's being done. indeed, it is now our (the people's) job. let's hope we are up to it.
it's time to encourage teamwork (and not of the red or blue variety, that's obviously failed) when it comes to the whole keeping your hand on the plow thing.
the hand seeks tools to cut the wood,
to till the soil, and harness the power of the waters.
then the hand seeks other hands to help, a community of hands to help-
thus the dream becomes not one man's dream alone, but a community dream.
you are correct. it is a burden. and a privelege.
belonging to all the hands who build.
even the booty seekers. :-)
