Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 70

[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.

How are they going to build these smart cities? We're already seeing semiconductor shortages. And we're going to need those semiconductors for Zuckerberg's Metaverse, hahahahahaha.

Sorry, but I don't buy the arguments that center around equipment shortages or lousy technology or lack of fossil fuels. These problems are just temporary glitches. The people pushing the Smart City have access to all the various resources and brainpower on this planet.

They will find a way around these types of barriers.

Why is Tesla so valuable an asset? It cannot be about their cars. The kindest thing that can be said about them is that they are a work in progress. No, it is all about their research into batteries. That is going to be the power source of the future (remember we are already in the Matrix). They won't be made of lithium because there isn't enough of that element in the world. That's just a stepping stone to something else. They are learning all the time - even if it is not always apparent to us little people.

The Smart City will be stopped only if we the people put a stop to it.

Access to all the resources, brainpower, personnel, and money on the planet does not create one more atom of rare metals than exist on it otherwise.

That may be quite true but my point is that they will find a way around this.

Rare earths are required for many electronics - but that is based on what is known NOW. In the future, rare earths (which aren't really that rare) may be supplanted by other materials (perhaps synthetics).

Knowledge is increasing all the time and on every front. I would never make prognostications based on current conditions.

Until someone demonstrates how to make the sorts of technologies which currently use rare earth metals without using them, I think it's safe to say they will be required for decades, given how long it usually takes for a new technology to be developed, if it's possible at all.

"Knowledge is increasing all the time and on every front."

If this is the case, then you're royally f***ed. Along with the rest of us. If you truly believe that technological progress is inevitable, get ready for absolute defeat. Throw in with the WEFfers while you still can.

They have a lot of the infrastructure in place already. If you have 4G-LTE service, all it takes is a software update to switch it to 5G. Note that 5G is a complex set of technologies, but all of them are controversial and none have been safety tested. In Japan, they clearly intend to provide every community regardless of size with 5G, and they are making progress towards this. I wonder if this could be one reason for the semiconductor shortages you are seeing.
