Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 67

[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.

Marathon Man

Walking NYC streets recently, one question pervaded my mind. A punchline from a 1970s thriller that I was too young to understand at the time but I do now and find it slightly ironic that the nazi villain was as obsessed with the same thing as everyone else.

Is it safe?

This notion, all encompassing, everywhere all the time, safety. In turning it over in my mind it led to an angry God, a God tired of our wicked ways… The other hypotheses, which I hadn’t considered too much until that day, came into sharp relief and in retrospect, I’m here trying to make the connection clearer. Something about safety and the lengths we go to pursue it seemed silly, seemed wicked. Poisoning children at every turn and doing it in the name of safety. The whole notion of a single type of medication to keep people safe, the gaming of our biological responses knowing full well it can go wrong.

Is it safe?

Of course not, there’s no safety in this world, only opportunity. At least that’s what I used to believe. Now I just see us deluding ourselves… Or is it effective propaganda. Tell the big lie often enough and too many will believe… It is safe! And effective too!!!

But what about all this could anger a God? Hubris. So much of the past two years has been drenched in it. The angry God hypothesis seemed so clear in my mind that warm November night, man in his hubris has set something into motion that could have a terrible blow back. As I struggle to raise children in this madness, I know I am caught up in it 100%! I’m running this marathon till my lungs ache and my muscles burn and the question I can’t run away from…

Is it safe?

And there are so many other questions that follow. When will all be revealed? Is such a thing even possible? The political reality of last week makes war feel inevitable. Nothing can stop them now except maybe bankruptcy… and even at that, one seems to be tied into the other. It feels like mile six and the thought of another twenty is too much to take. The war on my refusal has moved onto my children and I think maybe it is both hypothesis, God has simply let a demonic hoard wreak havoc upon humanity. It sure feels that day with each passing week.

Is it safe?

Nope, not here anyhow and moving to Florida isn’t an option, at least not without breaking apart my family. How to fight Leviathan? Saying no has been my only sensible action but the beast is not without it’s resources to punish, to cause misery. I can already hear the argument, how can you deny your child an education? How can you deny your child the joy of being around other children? And then I am the monster. The devil, father of lies, the demon hypothesis makes the twisted logic logical… The evil of QR codes… The prospect of internment camps in NY state is very real now. All I want is health and prosperity for my children and to do that I may have to stand outside the law.

Is it safe?

Not at all, not even close… The NYC work mandate may be gone for the private sector but there’s still a very unspoken embrace of it at my job. No official word one way or the other but new job postings end with the medical experiment as a job requirement. How this became a prerequisite for employment, no demon or God need be involved, just human greed and gullibility. I hate being excluded but I know for now it’s best to keep my distance, to stay away. It’s a long mile six and all I can do is keep running!

I posted this satirical "news article" I wrote on our society's preoccupation with safety before, but it was a year or so ago so here it is again. Safety is a real, important concern in life but like anything else can be taken too far. This scenario is meant to be over-the-top absurd, but I'd say it's just the trends we're seeing now taken to their logical extreme.



Upon first impression, Randall Raef may not seem like someone who will revolutionize the world, but if you allow this professor at Etaroproc University to give you a tour of his Machines, your view of the future
will never be the same again. Over the past decade, Raef has been creating our future, a safe future in which all the dangers that most of us consider part of ordinary life are eliminated.

Raef has three Machines completed and fully inhabited, and five more in the building process. Each completed Machine looks from the outside to be just a huge box of a metal building, without any windows.
Inside, most of the space is taken up by thousands of rooms, each of which is a home for one person. Once settled in such a highly sanitized room, each person never has to leave again. The spaces in
the Machines that are not inhabited by people are used by robots to deliver the people everything they need, and remove their waste. The rooms are all outfitted with the latest in digital technology which
allows everyone to communicate with each other without leaving their rooms. Everyone is equipped to be able to work remotely, and any items they may need for their work are delivered to their room. The rooms
are securely locked so nobody can get out and endanger themselves or others.

The initial Machines that Raef has built are occupied either by prisoners or volunteers that have generally come from homeless communities, however Raef now plans to advertise them to get more and
more people to move in. Once there is a critical mass on Machines built, Raef indicated that he has contacts in the government and the media that will use all their influence to persuade people to resettle
to the safety of Machines. “Eventually”, Raef says, “Our plan is for everyone to be required to live in Machines.” For now, he admits, there will still have to be some people who work outside of a machine
as robotics technology isn’t advanced enough yet to replace all that humans need to do in the world at large. “There will be essential workers that will still need to leave their rooms to get certain jobs
done,” he says, “but they can still be settled in machines for the rest of their lives, and only be allowed out to work in strictly supervised situations.”

Raef plans to be able to strictly control population in his world of Machines because artificial insemination will be the only form of reproduction and fetuses will develop in labs. “There’s no way sex or any form of human contact can be completely safe, nor pregnancy either” he says, “Besides, this way we can have exactly the right population to fill the machines.” Babies will be raised in their own
rooms by robots that won’t make the sort of mistakes that parents can endanger their child with, and anyone who really wants to interact with babies can do it over video chat.

Raef admits there have been some challenges with the first three Machines. Some occupants have resisted, a few have found ways out and destroyed infrastructure or even in one case, found and attacked Raef
himself. Others have found ways to commit suicide inside their rooms. Raef is working on these issues. “Locks have been improved to the point that nobody has escaped in the last year. Rooms have been
padded, and items that have serious potential to be used for self-harm have been eliminated. We’re determined that anyone living in Machines will have completely safe lives, which includes being safe from one’s self,” he stated. He even is testing out putting some people in straitjackets if they don’t need the full use of their arms for their work. When asked why people have behaved in such ways, he seems both
angry and a bit mystified. “I’ve dedicated my life to giving these people the ideal life, safe from harm,” he says, “A lot of people are just ungrateful for all the work I have done to help them. People act
against their own interests all the time.” “These people are not qualified to make the best decisions for themselves,” he insists. “My education and experience has given me the skills to save the world,
and I won’t let idiots who are too stupid to care for themselves tear down the new world we’re building.”

Raef himself lives in a mansion in the hills that overlook San Francisco Bay. When asked whether he plans to move into a machine himself ever, he replies, "My own job of overseeing the construction and development of the Machines requires me to be mobile. I have to put myself at risk to create a world where others are safe. One day I may get the privilege of retiring to a Machine, but for now I have to
stay where I am even if it means my own safety is compromised."

Occupants of Raef’s Machines have also gone into a rage over some of the conditions he has provided for them. Several times, people have been upset over the food they are receiving. Raef’s response to that
is “All the food I’m giving them has been scientifically proven to be the most nutritious diet available, they should be thankful they get the benefit of world-class nutritionists who care about their needs.”
Since occupants of the machines can only communicate with others and get information through technology that Raef controls, he can keep any unrest from getting too out of hand by censoring anything that he
considers misinformation. Still, he’s concerned that some of the issues he’s had have come from outside agitators. “I think hackers from Russia must be finding a way to get through to some of the
occupants of my Machines. Why else would there be discontent in what’s the most perfect world created so far on our planet?” he theorizes. “Many people have even claimed they’re suffering strange illnesses,
even though they are just the touch of a screen away from some of the best medical care in the world. What else could explain that but influence from outside agitators leading to psychosomatic disease?” he
added.

Raef did eventually acknowledge that it’s possible that some people really do desire to be outside, have contact with others, and do things that can’t be done in a room with even the best of technology.
His advice to anyone who feels this way is not to oppose the Machines but to embrace advances in bionic technology. “Let’s face it,” he says, “living our lives the way we have been is horribly unsafe.”
“Once we have everyone safely inside Machines, we can put all our energy as a society into replacing our biological parts with bionic ones. Once we have eliminated biology in ourselves and eventually in
the larger world, it will be safe to come out of our rooms again. This is the way forward if we want to get out of our rooms, resisting the coming of the Machines is what backward idiots do.”

Raef recommends anyone that’s interested in a safe future who has any money to spare consider contributing to his charity MACS (Make America Completely Safe). MACS will spend your donations toward building and perfecting Machines as well as bionics research.

i remember your previous posting.

has it really been a year?

i'm no fan of the current new normal, but once you get off the media's beaten path i believe it has at least inspired some creative thinking. here's to a better tomorrow.
