Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 75

ironicallyAs 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.

The Satanic Temple dedicating 'largest satanic gathering in history' to Boston mayor, will require masks

SatanCon 2023 will take place in downtown Boston April 28-30. Registered guests are required to wear masks and show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, according to the organization.

"Attendees must wear an N-95, KN-95, or disposable surgical mask," the temple said on its site. "Gaiters, bandanas, and cloth masks will not be allowed."

Do what thou wilt! Apart from declining the clotshots and refusing to wear a mask of course. Those two things violate Satanist community standards.

I can't wait to hear their theme song! I'm assuming they all sing in different keys at not quite the same time, with an occasional syncopating gasp, as one of them dies suddenly. Since they're mostly just grumpy Christians, nostalgically reworking the rituals from their over-regretted youths into something they hope is edgier and hipper than what it was modeled on, maybe they could just take one of the unfondly remembered hymns so cruelly forced on them at such a tender age and turn it into a toe-tapping ditty for their favorite fallen archangel. OK, that's a fun idea — excuse me as I go look for the most hackneyed hymns malingering around from any one of the times in the last century that Christian revival tents were all the rage across the US.

Oh my, there were some truly dreadful songs! Something clearly went very wrong in Western Christianity in the 1960's! I'm no longer sure I can actually blame these people for looking to satan to rescue them from that kind of torturous drivel.

I think my personal nomination for satanic-temple-club theme-song would have to be that unforgettable blast from the past by the one hit wonder Friar Peter Scholtes. Yes, all you hep cats who answered "They'll Know We Are Christians by our Love", you're really keeping up on your ecclesiastical trivia, aren't you? And what says satan better than that liturgical classic? Any satanic-temple members who have never managed to expunge that particular earworm from their memory banks will only have to learn a few new words to have a ready-made dark-lord chant up and running for all their public cursings:

We are one in the [mandates]. We are one in the [dark] lord.
We are one in the [mandates]. We are one in the [dark] lord.
And we pray that all [conformity] may one day be restored.
And they'll know we are [satanists] by our [blood], by our [blood].
Yes, they'll know we are [satanists] by our [blood].

We will walk [on] each other. We will walk [jab] in hand.
We will walk [on] each other. We will walk [jab] in hand.
And together we'll spread the news that [death] is in our land.
And they'll know we are [satanists] by our [blood], by our [blood].
Yes, they'll know we are [satanists] by [the clots in] our [blood].

OK, for anyone who found themselves unexpectedly inspired by that heartfelt rendition and for some unknown reason wants more, there are in fact two more scintillating verses to the original, so by all means unleash your muse and have at it!

We will shun the unvaxxed with our love, with our love
We will toss them on the train tracks with our love, with our love
Proudly wearing our face diapers as we shove, as we shove
And they’ll know we love Satan by our clotted blood,
And they’ll know we love Satan by our blood.

We will point and spin before we drop, flip, and flop
Looking at approaching demons as we drop, flip, and flop
And we’ll hitch a ride to hell before we stop, before we stop
And they’ll know we loved Satan by our clotted blood,
And they’ll know we loved Satan by our blood…

if they bother with an autopsy or an embalming, that is.

Good to know the Satanists are being consistent with their faith...

When you're too "evil" even for Satan? Oh no, if you don't wear a mask, you might go to - ?

No surprises there

Compelling people to perform fatuous obedience rituals that insult human dignity have always struck me as compatible with the precepts of Satan, and those of Beelzebub too. So the shoe fits perfectly.

I have a relative in Massachusetts who participates in the Satanic Temple or other similarly named religious group based in Salem. I think he does it just to try to get the goat of conservative relatives. He is a fundamentalist atheist. He wrote off to all our relatives in 2021 to report who had gotten the vaxx. He's a living, still breathing booster! Proudly didn't die when he caught COVID twice.
Thanks to his fine efforts, though, I know that one relative who died of turbo-cancer in spring of 2021 had indeed been recently vaccinated.
I wrote back to him one time saying that if he found the Satanists a nice community, that was good, because community will be important in the times ahead. He doesn't believe that, though.
