Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 74

plexiglassAs 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 uselessness 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. 

Thomas Sheridan's latest

Thomas Sheridan is unfiltered, brash at times, but my word is he perceptive. He put out the following broadcast on NYE, in which he proposes a new mythological framework for understanding this mess. Imagining Lovecraft as a prophet of our present age, a theme which our host has of course explored in depth, he refers to the opening passage of The Call of Cthulu - "we live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far." In other words, there are metaphysical lines which human beings are not supposed to cross.

What if, Sheridan asks, one of those lines is space travel? Assuming there are quasi-Lovecraftian entities out in the cosmos whose nature we cannot begin to understand, might they have perceived the rockets we fired into space in the 60's and 70's as an attack? If so - the COVID jabs are their retaliation. We fired pointy objects up into space, they sent pointy objects back down to us...

See it, if you prefer, as a poetic metaphor for the transgressions of our Faustian culture into realms we had better left untouched. Either way, it's a powerful rhyme.

He he he. And I'm sure you could construct a mythopoesis based on that! I have a few ideas, but they're possibly too graphic to share on here, I know our host likes to maintain a level of decorum.

Thank you, I enjoy Thomas immensely and his warrior spirit was a great help (discovering him as I did through this page) in getting through a couple lockdowns. I will also add this page (thank you JMG) was an immense (!) lifeline for survival.

This description of a poetic metaphor
