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.

I think I live in an odd place, in that the people here are generally very wealthy (and very old). But there is a growing middle class millenial culture, and I don't sense despair in general. If anything they are more upbeat - our Christmas parade was bigger than ever with floats from all over. Very interestingly, the Santa and his elves walked, and came last and anti-climactically.

But the wealthiest boomers are very touchy. Maybe it's vaccine injury, but I suspect it's something else.

The one on my council I make froth at least once every meeting by pointing out macroeconomic trends. This week I knew I was being bad, but I did it anyway, and I pointed out that on on issue we were going to be bad guys no matter what, with no good decision to make because the homeowners in question were being greedy, and we had no law applicable against rank greed.

One of the developers spent the rest of the discussion twitching a jerking in an odd way, and people in the audience started breathing really heavily and turning pale. They were fighting it, but they knew.

The other councillor gave this thundering impassioned speech about people being allowed to do whatever they wanted with lands they bought - they owned it - as justification why he was voting against the motion. But I was voting for the motion, because it was the slightly least bad option; and his speech indicated he wanted to as well. Another councillor pointed this out to him. He gave another thundering speech and doubled down on why this meant he would NOT support it. The sense of shock in the room was palpable - a couple more attempts were tried to communicate, but it was impossible, everyone seemed to get frightened, and the mayor broke character and said, " We tried. I'm just calling the question."

The councillor voted against himself.

But later, he understood it instantly, and seemed really frightened, when the first councillor explained again after the meeting. It was like watching someone wake up in the middle of a sleep walk. I've never seen anything like it; one councillor who had been making frantic eye contact with me at one point said he had been worried he'd been watching a medical emergency unfold.

I'd thought our culture had replaced gold with land (Cortes' quote to Montezuma), but I think that clinched it.
