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.
Record Scratch Radio on KPOO Wednesday Dec 14th/1:00-1:30....
Date: 2022-12-08 09:09 pm (UTC)89.5 FM in San francisco or live stream/recording on KPOO..com
I'm practicing not swearing again as I've really let myself go regarding profanity during such profane times, and Mr Jerome thinks he's gone nuts for going through with this so I'm gonna do my best at being a Good Girl because I could do a lot if I'm speaking to my actual neighbors over a general populace spread far and wide online.
I wanna start KPOO dances to get people to meet each other and talk about new business cooperatives. I wanna see folks buy up and fix up our own housing and do our own small businesses who can promote and sell at events.
KPOO knows I have huuuuge designs on them. They, along with James, brought me back from the dead.
But first we will have to see if I can go a half hour without getting them an FCC fine.

TRANSCRIPT - BRIEF EXCERPT
1:03
ERIKA: OK we were going to talk about Mathias Desmet's book, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TOTALITARIANISM, because I've just read it twice
and it's an entirely different book the second— no it's not entirely different, I mean there's just more nuance that I didn't catch the first time, and I wanted to talk about that book because I'm trying really hard to understand people. And I— yeah, that's it. And I want— This is the day after the election, so let's go there.
JAMES: The midterm 2022 elections to be precise.
ERIKA: Right. So I'm realizing that people no longer care. I mean, I've been sobbing today, I'm been really having a rough day, I'll admit that. And all the stuff that we talked about with the girl we were talking about earlier that I thought she was unusual in not standing up for her friend, I thought she was just weak. No, no, but I'm really—
JAMES: What are you talking about? Now you're—
ERIKA: We're talking about— I feel like there was supposed to be this red wave—
JAMES: You're talking about like everybody knows exactly what you're talking about earlier in the day—
ERIKA: OK, OK. This is the day— alright fair enough I've been reading a lot and crying and yelling and writing. So I'm really upset about how there wasn't a red wave as a reaction against mandated experimental vaccines and the rampant overuse of the Emergency Authorization Acts and how I really assumed, casually assumed, that there would be more, not because we were Republicans but because it was not OK to take away our rights. It was obvious that what Biden is, is, what is it, a regency, that's he's insane, and then Fetterman* gets in. I'm lost. I'm really lost. That Fetterman got— I'm, I'm, I am lost, James. I'm lost that— I did not know that drag queen shows were— I'm lost! I'm lost! I don't even know how we got here.
JAMES: Well, the problem you have is that you're not, you still don't—
ERIKA: So I'm reading this book—
JAMES:—you still don't see reality because—
ERIKA: No, no, So I'm trying to read this book understanding people, I thought I was the freak. OK so there's a lot on my mind right now so we're just going to have one of our I hope a deep conversation, we'll stop as I promised when you want. But what I don't understand, how are we supposed to live and exist in this clown circus? And I can't— and everything is worse. I guess because I see the gap, I counted on the fact that inflation was crazy, the price of gas is crazy, the fact that American people can't afford their own homes, I figured there would be like, well, not that that's Biden's fault or anyone's fault, I'm jus—well it is, but I'm just saying that there's never been any reaction, we just keep getting used to it. So and then this whole thing with the masks and everyone's— and I just didn't know. And I was talking to you earlier about being an artist. I'm really lost about what and who to be right now. And I was talking to you earlier because the reason I bring up Matthias Desmet is because I like that he has all these, he has this idea that it is the mechanistic mindset that comes from out of the Enlightenment. The mechanistic mindset—
JAMES: Right but as I pointed out—
ERIKA: Yeah and you said no dice.
JAMES: No, the problem with that idea is that even though there's truth to that, the mechanistic-scientific, you know, dissect things and numbers are only thing that matters, there's no God, etcetera, is a big part of Western culture and politics, however—
ERIKA: And why we're here.
JAMES: In reality, no, but it's not the actual answer. Because this is nothing but power.
ERIKA: Right OK.
JAMES: Because as we saw with the covid hysteria, the numbers are right in front of us, there is no— Science had nothing to do with it. I mean there's logic or rational basis to have these latest vaccine boosters where they tested on eight mice and call that good and America wanting to give it to all the kids, even though other countries have realized that's a really bad idea. None of this is actually based on actual so-called science, and science has been corrupted. And in that book, Desmet's book, he does talk about how badly science has been corrupted lately—
ERIKA: It's an ideology now.
JAMES: Well, regardless of that, but they're—
ERIKA: Or part of the ideology
JAMES: —but they're not actually doing science anymore, it's all gamed. And there's not good science out there. And especially the medical-industrial complex has been bad for a very long time. They're not methodical, they're not logical, they're not using good statistics. It's all a game.
ERIKA: Fair enough, fair enough, I don't want to get bogged in that.
JAMES: No, but the problem is not, it's not the mechanistic because his idea is, well need to go more woowoo—
ERIKA: Fair enough, fair enough! But he even says that it has been hijacked for an ideology.
JAMES: Right, but it's about power.
ERIKA: So right—.
JAMES: It's about power.
ERIKA: And you're saying yes, it's all about raw power. But what I'm upset about and I'm lost and I'm very confused about and I could cry now, because someone posted the, um— I get so emotional.
JAMES: Good God.
ERIKA: It was the Declaration of Independence, you know? About how like the government — it's just— I just feel—
JAMES: The thing that's missing is that the people that—
ERIKA: But that's what he's talking about, no, but wait, wait—
JAMES: Are you going to let me talk at all?
ERIKA: I want to go back to that because that's what he said about the mechanistic ideology. That's why there's no heart, there's nothing to fight for James, there's no love.
JAMES: The problem is, is that when you look at Jefferson, the Jeffersonian ideal of the farmer, the independent farmer and that sort of thing, or the idea, you go all the way back to the Greeks and the idea of what it means—
ERIKA: You can't cite Jefferson without a whole lot of baggage, James.
JAMES: I don't care about that. Listen, I'm not talking about all that other stuff. And the Greeks had slaves—
ERIKA: No you can't.
JAMES: That's, they also had slaves, that's not what I'm talking about.
ERIKA: I'm just saying you have to be aware.
JAMES: Can we have a conversation without you shooting me down for the PC people? Give me a break.
ERIKA: I'm not, I just do feel—
JAMES: You know what you're doing right now.
ERIKA: I do feel like it is—
JAMES: We're not, no you're not—
ERIKA: No but I do feel like it is, even though I do I cite—
JAMES: —this conversation—
ERIKA: But baby, we got to admit this is a problem! No, we've got to admit that these are issues!
JAMES: Can I even finish what I said before you say sh*t like that?
ERIKA: Fair enough.
JAMES: That's really a pain.
ERIKA: We're not getting along lately.
JAMES: We're not getting along today. I didn't want to do the podcast for that reason.
ERIKA: Then we can fix it, go ahead.
JAMES: The Jeffersonian ideal of what an American would be like, an independent farmer, that sort of thing—
ERIKA: Oh OK.
JAMES: — where you're in charge of your destiny, and the state was much more minimal, the problem is, that's not the people who exist today. And the people want what they're getting. The people do not want to be free.
ERIKA: Right.
JAMES: You have to understand that freedom is just a word and most people do not want freedom and liberty because it's scary, that means you have to make decisions for yourself and be responsible for yourself. Nobody wants that. They want to control other people and be controlled in return. They just hope that they get, you know, the upper hand. They want to be the ones pulling the strings. And so freedom and liberty are not a real value to America if they ever have been. And this is really scary because we are heading towards totalitarianism, that is clear, clear as day, and nobody seems to notice.
ERIKA: They don't care.
JAMES: But they don't really care because—
ERIKA: I don't know what to do with this.
JAMES: —they want to be in charge.
ERIKA: What?
JAMES: They want to be in charge. They're perfectly happy telling everybody else what to do whatever it is they want to do.
ERIKA: But James the reason I wanted to talk about this is because in the end, all I care about, we talked about this earlier, where I said, I feel like, as an artist, I have been the kind of artist who's an alchemist who wasn't looking for gold or the philosopher's stone necessarily because I can go evil or good in a second, either way, but that I— but actually the philosopher's stone has nothing to do with that right, it's about truth, right? So I wanted to have energy. What creates energy? And you even said years ago when I was like, why am I here if I'm such a misfit? Why am I still here? And you said, you're nature's— what did you say, you were nature's way of reasserting itself. And I didn't know what you meant, but I liked it because it felt like a dare. A way to live. And I like that.
JAMES: OK.
ERIKA: Oh, cool, it's good to be like this. So you turned it into a good thing. And I suppose that, I feel like as an artist my job is to send out something to counter all this, to counter this, this slide into totalitarianism—
JAMES You can try but now the problem is—
ERIKA: So it's life— wait this is also in his book—
JAMES: —the problem is, this is a torrent, there's a torrent of stuff flowing through the Internet and people don't even read books—
ERIKA: Yeah. it's not about that—
JAMES: — which I find very sad and pathetic—
ERIKA: Yeah it's not about that, though, it's energy, it's energy—
JAMES: You don't get good ideas through the Internet really. You can read stuff and you can kind of do stuff, but the medium is the message. It's a problem. Even though I read lots of essays online—
ERIKA: As do I.
JAMES:— it does something to your brain that you're, as soon as you finish something, you're like, looking for that next little hit, OK, what else could I read, what else could I read?
ERIKA: I mean that's kind of why we're doing this podcast, to give back—
JAMES: It does something to do your head, I notice a huge difference—
ERIKA: —we're trying to give back.
JAMES: But it doesn't matter, what I'm saying is that you're just throwing, you're just pissing into a fire hydrant. It's not—
ERIKA: No because it helps me. It helps me. I have to say like John Michael Greer's open covid post on the dreamwidth has been a lifeline for at least me.
JAMES: Sure it's all nice.
ERIKA: No it's not all nice, James, there have been days—
JAMES: But you're maniacal think that you're going to change things. We're going down—
ERIKA: Oh but we can!! Don't you see?!

Date: 2022-12-09 08:59 pm (UTC)i'm both honored and horrified: honored that you deigned to type us out but the horror is that this was like being forced to look at myself in a magnifying mirror under fluorescent lighting while hearing my voice on an answering machine.
(smile)
i'm reminded why James is often called James St. James by anyone who knows us, and my interrupting him is way worse than my swearing.
MUST needs work on that most definitely...
thanks for the good wishes, too!

Date: 2022-12-11 01:13 am (UTC)I've changed my mind for a few reasons...
Haven't checked email in weeks and want to less and less so please take the time to honor MY time and tell me directly what YOU think I oughta or WANT to know right here. It's part of the whole reason I'm here.
Third reason is I don't click links and El Gato was right about worm actually finally turning and I'll leave it at that for now as I'm finger typing and respecting you with full and proper spelling is me honoring you with anachronisms so please don't take my 90s era directness for rudeness.

Date: 2022-12-12 07:56 pm (UTC)i wasn't gonna write because i cannot presume to know ANYTHING of any substance from what you posted on Kimberly's site, BUT i went to go look at the preview of your book before looking at it and i winced and here's WHY:
i think you're of the internet generation and even your pitch to sell this writing was internetty, in that you're surface skating which is what the internet is all about and does. the medium is the message or it re-makes the world and you in its own image.
i winced because it and her pitch cheapens this work. and your question to Kimberly and that you get an e-book a DAY is crazy for retention and rumination...what Papa G calls meditation.
to be a woman to me and from the others who taught me, because we are each sisters and trade secrets and gifts all the time on how to BE this DO this... to me there is no BOOK and i myself am loathe to write down all i know about what i do because it always cheapens it just when i share it-- to gen pop or even the ones who get it on eco dream/or eco main.
but i do it because the internet has stolen everyone's inner attention and free time and imagination and i'm doing all i can to REMIND anyone who recognizes what i'm doing before we all get covered in resin and frozen in movement and life.
so i'm not Kimberly but as a SISTER i will tell you that i think you're even ASKING Kimberly such questions because you've lost touch with your deepest Femininity.
it is more expansive and amazing and wondrous than you know. this is what today's thinking misses as it kills... deadens... flattens... dessiccates... infiltrates and castrates.
this is why some girls of yore kept fluffy diaries or wrote hearts on the special days in the calendar. you cannot be a minimalist human. woman or man.
it's boring.
but i think you're saying the internet got boring and ain't nada on TV... or the magic phone as it is now.
so dare to be bored and try ONE just ONE of Papa G's teachings or offerings. the innerwebs teaches us to SKATE sample move on be distracted no eye contact even with one's own soul.
that's why we're gathered together here today.
i'm gonna publicly post this on eco dream even though THAT makes me wince. i'm sharing myself with my sisters and brothers who choose to falter into the world with experimenting on this work and i use myself as an example or inciter or inspirer on HOW to play with these things we read and study about.
so being Woman is a lot more fun and complicated than we've all recently been led to believe. one's secrets are necessary a must and i cannot look at that file you sent not because i don't trust you but because of the wince.
this is the world we are in and someone will always try to make a buck and pitch a new way but i don't think you can possibly hope to write down and hope to SELL such a thing. especially an ebook on the internet.
so stop vacuuming scanning skipping... stop stay still and see what happens in your BODY. watch how hard that is when you're not distracted by an e-book a day.
that's the world now. all scanning... no LIVING.
don't be "optimal" or "efficient." consider those bad words for awhile and see how it feels. then pick up one of Papa's studies that appeals to you. he's clean. anyone else is selling you something else on the other side. a retreat a logo water bottle a daily meditation you pay for on substack...
good luck...
