Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 66

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.
Re: Unexpected Truckers Commission News Flash
Date: 2022-11-10 07:21 pm (UTC)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!
