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.

It's been pretty bad here in Japan. It's as if I have a little sphere of light around my altar, but darkness reigns elsewhere.
I attended a meeting of my religious group last Saturday. We are losing people. A lot of them are older and we would be declining anyway, but I think not at such a rapid pace. I think many of our members were harmed by the vaxxes. The leader of our sect had very little spiritual to say this time, which is unlike him. He spoke of the need to prepare to demolish our main meeting house to avoid putting that burden of the joint owners of the property, who are no longer able to attend. Really depressing. I am rallying with the leader and one other motivated younger intellectual member to at least leave a legacy for when people come around and realize they need it.
Religions have come under fire everywhere except perhaps Russia (from what I can tell). They were blamed early on for spreading COVID. In Japan, most religious groups I know stopped holding public ceremonies, and some (including ours) even discouraged their members from coming together and performing them privately, for fear of incurring suspicions and fatal levels of criticism. None have resumed public ceremonies.
The Kompira Shrine has stopped holding training courses for its followers these past three years. This year they tried to organize an on-line course, but it appears to me that they are suffering financially enough (much revenue from tourism) that they've had to let go of priests, and those who remain just don't have the time to organize very much.
Meanwhile, the digitalization of Japan seems to be the only thing going forward. The tide is withdrawing even further from spirituality, and I will be driven further from society than I am already, but my little circle of light will not go out.

Strength to all of the holders of little lights in the current dark...
