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 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, religions, 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 met Norval

Date: 2023-03-14 05:30 pm (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
This past weekend I was reading through last weeks comments and came upon the ones about Norval Morrisseau, and am reminded of something which tangentially relates to the reasons for these weekly conversations .

Back in 1978 (ish) they had just opened First Canadian Place, a vast skyscraper clad in white marble. The main lobby/floor was maybe 30 feet tall and it housed an exhibition space called the Jewel Box with floor to ceiling glass walls. One weekday afternoon I was out with one of my house mates, Peter, and we noticed that the exhibition was of Norval’s paintings so we went in to have a look. We were the only ones there and were discussing the work when Jack Pollack came to us and we had a great conversation about art and what fun the grand opening of the show had been with all the who’s who of the Toronto art scene present when Norval entered with a smudge bowl smoking with sweetgrass, tabbaco and cannabis. Jack laughed and said he had a vision of the police raiding the show and charging the tony crowd with being found-ins.

Jack asked if we wanted to see a great theatre show which had just opened and he could get tickets. A day or two later we went to see Lindsey Kempt dance troupe’s homage to Jean Genet’s “Notre Dame des Fleurs” called Flowers at TWP theatre. One of the most amazing works of theatre I’ve ever seen. Afterward he took us to the hotel where Norval was staying during his exhibition, and we spent the rest of the night telling stories and laughing. Norval was the first person to tell me that I was a shaman. I have a serigraph of Norval’s in my bedroom and it’s one of the first things I see every morning.

We kept social contact with Jack for a while because he was fun, was a great cook, and he had a beautiful 1920’s art filled apartment in Rosedale. You see back in those days when young gay men came to the big city you actually had to meet people (just another thing that the internet has destroyed). There were clubs, political gatherings, taverns, bookstores, and best of all - real discos. Even if you didn’t know someone outright, you’d recognize them or know someone who knew them. It was like a cohort, or a graduating class. That was before AIDS.

In 1981 I moved to Montreal with my (now) husband. I kept in touch with many friends in TO and it seemed every time we would speak it was basically “guess who died?” It was soul crushing. I estimate that by the late 1990’s eighty to 90% of my cohort were dead. Young, creative, intelligent: gone. Later in the 80’s there was a TV program about AIDS on TVOntario, and Jack was one of the interviewed. He said he caught it by sharing a dirty needle. He was a wealthy man and didn’t need to share needles. He just couldn’t bring himself to admit………

There’s an odd thing about having one’s cloak of invincibility ripped off at too young an age, you become a realist. I realized that infinite growth on a finite planet is not conducive to huge populations; ask any yeast what happens. I’ve been preparing as much as possible for my second die-off experience, I just didn’t think it would be this soon or in this way.

Please accept my blessings and prayers for a safe journey through what’s ahead, and I will accept the same from anyone who is gracious enough to send them.

May love and peace be with you.

"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"

I had a thought along these lines. I read recently about horticultural therapy, how it enjoyed modest popularity before the current regime of psychiatric medication blew everything out of the water.

My idea is: Instead of a small handful of massive hospitals, how about a prolific and widely distributed network of garden-hospitals? Where patients can recuperate in settings that promote human health, filled with flowers, silence, trees and healing herbs?

You know, rather than places that combine the most notable aspects of Mordor and Oceania.

In theory, churches could offer Membership Only 24-7 care for people discharged from hospital but not yet able to be left alone at home. But how tthis would work out in practice, gives me pause. Such an idea would be shouted down and fought tooth, law and claw via gov’ts wholly captured by special interests such as AMA and insurance cosplayers. Maybe it could be managed as a Prayer Retreat where people come to worship and offer up thanks for their release and are ably supported by Prayer Teams.

If every fire station were to be furnished with an on-site clinic and small infirmary for the use of the first aid and nursing care of first responders, that could be another wedge to dislodge the gluttonous ‘enclosure and centralization’ of medical resources that has been allowed to happen by we the people.

What political leverage could be used to achieve this end against solidly entrenched self-enrichment corporate bodies who can easily afford to pay hospitals in job-free rural areas to run unhallowed drug trials on medicare patients, I know not. Half-a mill per each captive subject is hard to turn down, y’know?

Maybe a voucher system could be put in place so the fire stations, often staffed by volunteers, could decide whether to buy new equipment or stocka mini-clinic./ infirmary that cooperates with the schools to take care of kids that get sick after they arrive in classes and their parents have no day care arrangements..

I let my immune system get run down and got sick this weekend. Really nasty fever and body aches. My wife mentioned that I should try some of the HCQ/IVM and see if it responds, and sure enough it did. I'm not vaccinated and assumed I must have robust natural immunity by now, but apparently there are new variants out there eagerly waiting for an opening.

Take care of yourselves, and for heaven's sake get enough sleep!

A talkshow I listen to had a very interesting discussion about models. The 2008 financial crises was caused by "collateralized debt obligations", essentially models of debt. These models are mathematical equations describing reality, but left out key aspects, as any simplification must do. When some assumptions were no longer valid, the model broke down, and the image they projected departed from reality.

Models explain parts of Corona policy. When a model is created choices are made what to include, what to exclude, and which assumptions to make. For example, if you assume Corona is spread between students, the resulting model must surely predict that school closures are a good idea.

Listening to the talk, they make models sound like religion. Religion is made by priests in a temple. Non-priests are not allowed to question religion: that is blasphemy.

Policy models (at least the Dutch ones) are made by scientists in secret (the underlying code and data are never published.) When you point out a divergence between a model and reality, that is also treated as blasphemy!

They even quote a politician saying: "Why did the models desert us"?

Ecosophia Prayer List, Week of March 15

Date: 2023-03-14 11:17 pm (UTC)
tunesmyth: (Default)
From: [personal profile] tunesmyth
To those who are interested, here are all of the requests for prayer that have recently appeared across the Ecosophia community. Please feel free to add any or all of them to your prayers.

If I missed anybody on the full list, or if you would like to add a prayer request for yourself or anyone who has given you consent (or for whom a relevant person holds power of consent) to the list, please feel free to leave a comment below and/or at the prayer list page.

* * *

This week I would like to bring special attention to a few prayer requests.

Mr. Beekeeper (Beekeeper in Vermont's husband), who was been airlifted to a hospital in Albany NY for heart issues, for blessings, protection, and healing. Mr. Beekeeper's condition is stable but he's in need of a bypass, with surgery scheduled for Thursday.

Praesepe, who got a double mastectomy on March 8th. No update from Praesepe yet, and I don't expect to hear from her for a little while, but in this time of great transformation for her, please continue to pray for her to overcome her cancer; for blessings and her protection, and for her healing. (Original request here).

Lp9's request on behalf of their hometown, East Palestine Ohio, for the safety and welfare of their people and all living beings in the area. The details coming out are still caught in the fog of war, and various claims of catastrophe and non-catastrophe are flying about, but the reasonable possibility seems to exist that this is an environmental disaster on par with the worst America has ever seen. At any rate, it is clearly having a devastating impact on the local area, and prayers are certainly warranted.

And as the vernal equinox approaches, I'm adding one more prayer to the list for the next week. I'd like to ask that each of us praying give thanks to the powers and entities we have been connecting with for all of the blessings that they've brought to everyone who has appeared on prayer list these last few months.

* * *

If there are any among you who might wish to join me in a bit of astrological timing, I pray each week for the health of all those with health problems on the list on the astrological hour of the Sun on Sundays, bearing in mind the Sun's rulerships of heart, brain, and vital energies. If this appeals to you, I invite you to join me.

NCI Truro’s Expert Witness Line-up

Date: 2023-03-15 01:23 am (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
The National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI) Hearings Event, which will be held in the city of Truro, Nova Scotia from March 16th to March 18th, now has 7 expert witnesses:
1: Dr. Peter McCullough – Renowned cardiologist,
2: Dr. Patrick Phillips – Family Physician,
3: Dr. Laura Braden – Immunologist,
4: Dr. Chris Milburn – ER Physician,
5: Dr. Joseph Fraiman – US ER Physician and COVID Analyst,
6: Dr. Dion Davidson – Vascular surgeon, and
7: Dr. Aris Lavranos- Former ER physician and practicing lawyer.

The latest addition – Dr. Lavranos – has quite the background: He is the CEO of his own medical services practice, Emergency Physician at 6 different hospitals across Canada, is a Doctor of Law, and is a Medical Doctor.

And the commissioners for the Truro hearings are no slouches, either (take THAT, Rolly!):
1: Bernard Massie, Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology and has a career as biotechnology researcher/consultant,
2: Ken Drysdale, executive engineer with over 40 years of experience as a Professional Engineer and works in the area of forensic engineering, investigations, preparation of expert reports and expert testimony at trials,
3: Janice Kaikkonen, a community outreach worker who (interestingly) is pursuing a Ph.D in Theology and Discipleship, and
4: Heather DiGregorio, a senior law partner who has represented clients at the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.

(Just a reminder: anyone who wants to watch the hearings live may do so at: https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/nci-live/)

It looks like the nation-wide NCI will really start off with a bang! Next up at bat: Toronto (March 30 - April 1). More details on it next week.

Freedom! Liberté! Justice!

Third David Martin interview on JHK

Well worth a listen or three.

At least 2 listens for each of the David Martin interviews.
So much information packed in.

A question, there appears to be a feeling among some true believers that all this illness and death is a result of 'long covid' and therefore, can everyone please keep wearing the masks???
Nothing to do with the jabs, only and all because of the terrible virus.

Has anyone else come across this 'belief'?

mr_nobody1967: Mr. Yuck, the first emoji (Default)
From: [personal profile] mr_nobody1967
Well, it has been about three years since society in the US started going "Covid crazy", and last year about this time when the "mushy middle" began the process of snapping out of it and moving on to the next concern-fad (in this case, the Russo-Ukrainian War). So a year out from that time, I think it's safe to say that Covid Is Over, demonstrated by the fact that the only thing one can think of to say to hysterical leftists on Twitter who proclaim #CovidIsNotOver is "What? Why do you say that?"

However, the task of making the harmful nature of the mRNA Covid vaccines into common knowledge remains before us. The challenge there is that more than two-thirds of the population got fully vaxxed, and I can't entirely blame people for being reluctant to face up to what awful harm might have been done to them by the institutions they trusted and put enormous pressure on people to get vaxxed. I predict this will take, at the very least, until the July 4 holiday, because that was about the time last year that the current critical mass of fully vaxxed people was reached, varying somewhat on a state-by-state basis.

Looking back on the last three years

Date: 2023-03-15 08:09 pm (UTC)
From: [personal profile] dendroica
The weekly comment count is dwindling, and I'll admit that I'm no longer reading them all.

It feels a bit like we have won the battle (for our freedoms) but lost the war (for wider acknowledgment of vaccine/mask/lockdown harms), and that as the whole saga recedes from public consciousness it is crystallizing into a largely false narrative that will be written in the mainstream history books: a new and dangerous virus spreads around the world and is managed by masks and lockdowns until it is defanged by a savior vaccine produced in record time.

I expect the lingering vaccine and mask mandates to quietly end in the months ahead, but I'm starting to lose hope for a larger reckoning in the near future. But I could be surprised...

I agree, and it troubles me. The stranglehold the MSM has on people's consciousness is a wonder to behold. They tell people what to believe, and the people believe it! And if the narrative they were pushing six months ago turns out to be a lie, well then just don't talk about it and the people will quickly forget all about it. It's very disheartening.

The media told a lot of howlers over the last three years, but they won't admit it for fear of trashing their credibility. I find this ironic because the sources I trust the most are the ones who admit the limits of their certainty, and work quickly to correct any errors they may have put forth. As long as the media is bought and paid for by Big Money (especially Big Pharma) the truth will never really come out. Theoretically, the government could provide a balance by providing unbiased facts, but it looks like they are bought and paid for also (certainly the CDC and FDA are).

My current best hope is they will just leave me alone "next time", but it's a slim hope.

EP 9: A.J. DePriest Exposes Fraud Involving Federal Money and Schools
HeartLandLibertyProductions
May 15, 2022
https://rumble.com/v14u7qy-aj-depriest-exposes-fraud-involving-federal-money-and-schools.html
DESCRIPTION: A discussion with AJ DePriest focusing on Fraud involving Federal money being sent to States and to School systems, and federal mandates that follow the money that is forcing states, localities, and school systems to follow federal guidelines or lose BILLIONS of ESSER dollars that they have already accepted.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:
A.J. DePriest is on telegram at https://t.me/ajdepriest
She is a member of an independent think tank, TN Liberty Network and the Adam Group, which offers covid education and patient advocacy, TheAdamGroup.net.
Interviewer Dan Meredith's show is Heartland Liberty Productions live Wednesdays 8-9 PM from the Nashville TN studio.

TRANSCRIPT - SELECTED EXCERPTS

5:15
A.J. DEPRIEST: We followed the money. In January of 2020, actually 2021 is when we all got together and we started researching the CARES Act which was the Corona Virus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act that was passed in March of 2020 that President Trump signed. We wanted to see how that money was filtering into Tennessee and what it was affecting. And 259 million dollars of that money from the CARES Act went to Tennessee Schools. And there weren't a lot of strings attached to that. It was a lot of reporting, what they were going to do with the money. And if you remember correctly in 2020 most kids were at home from school. All the schools were closed. And so a lot of the money went to really good things like helping schools put together IT programs so that there would be better remote learning opportunities.

DAN MEREDITH: So federal money coming to—

A.J. DEPRIEST: Right, to Tennessee. For that.

DAN MEREDITH: Tennessee.

A.J. DEPRIEST: Yeah that was the CARES Act. And other than the reporting requirements we couldn't find anything that affected schools negatively.

Then in December of 2020, the CRRSA Act was passed, and that's the Corona Virus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act. So they added even more money. The first set from the CARES Act was called SR-1 for emergency relief response, what is it? [reading off smart phone] Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Money. So that was SR-1 money from the CARES Act. CRRSA released SR-2 money. And Tennessee got 1.1 billion of that.

DAN MEREDITH: These are all federal programs.

A.J. DEPRIEST: Right. Right.

DAN MEREDITH: Money that we send to the federal government and then they turn around —

A.J. DEPRIEST: Our tax money.

DAN MEREDITH: And send it to, not just Tennessee, they're sending this money around around everywhere.

A.J. DEPRIEST: Yeah. Yeah and that was one of the things that we discovered when we started researching the CARES Act and the CRRSA Act, is that this money wasn't just coming to Tennessee, it was going to all the states for all the schools. And um, yeah, there's the CARES Act, and that was a nice little chunk of change there, about 259 million dollars to Tennessee, but then in the CRRSA Act and SR-2 money it was 1.1 billion. So it was a little bit more. And again we didn't really find anything, anything really bad or negative about the CRSSA money.

It was in March of 2021 that the ARP Act was signed and that's the American Rescue Plan Act. That was signed by Biden. And the timeline is really important here. That was signed on March 11th. And Tennessee got 2 point, almost 2.5 billion dollars. So you see the progression from SR-1 was a nice pile of money, SR-2 was even more, and SR-3 was even more than that. It was almost twice what SR-2 money was. And um—

DAN MEREDITH: Now what is this money, is supposed to be all related to covid in some way?

A.J. DEPRIEST: Yeah. Covid Relief money. Covid, federal covid relief money. It's the same pot of money that went to businesses to impose shot mandates for their employees, it's the same pot of money that went to hospitals, to enact certain protocols within hospitals, to encourage hospitals to get all of their employees shots, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So it's the same pot of money from the same three acts that were passed where all that money was appropriated.

But the ARP Act was the one that we focused on the most because we discovered that the CDC in December of 2020 said that every school in America could open for 25 billion dollars. Every school in America. And they wanted kids back in school because in 2020 when kids were at home learning, their parents were seeing what they were learning. And the federal government figured out—

DAN MEREDITH: They don't like that.

A.J. DEPRIEST: — pretty quickly, no, they want— So every district of every school in the United States had to complete a district plan called the Safe Return to In-Person Learning. They wanted kids back in the classroom. So the graph that we have that shows the spending, the CARES Act money was 13.2 billion, CRRSA was 54.3 billion, the ARP was 122 billion. Now the CDC remember said that every school could open for 25 billion, but so far in SR money it's climbing close to 200 billion. And that's the most that the federal government has ever given to any state for school in the history of federal giving. So that's really important to note.

But the state plan, every state had to submit a state SR Plan. And it's a template that the federal government provided to every state and the second or third page of every state plan there is a signature box where their commissioner of education, ours is Penny Schwinn, signed and dated when they submitted that plan.

Our state plan was submitted July 2nd of 2021 and there's a really important clause there and it says, by signing this document I agree to each of the assurances listed in Appendix C.

10:50
So, what's in Appendix C?

The second bullet is probably the most important one, and that lays out that the requirement that the SEA, which is the State Education Agency, will comply with all ARP Act and all other ARP ESSER requirements. Now this is where things get dicey because if you go to look at the interim final requirements for the ARP Act it states very clearly that every state and district plan will show how they're going to universally mask, contact trace, social distance, isolate, quarantine, test, covid test, set up vaccination clinics to try get the entire school population vaccinated. These are all in the interim final requirements of the ARP Act.

11:47
[END OF EXCERPT]

*

12:39
A.J. DEPRIEST: And long after our state of emergency ended, they're still masking kids and its because of this SR-3 money. It's so much.

But I think probably the most important thing people need to understand is the timeline of events. Because SR-1 money was given with no strings attached. SR-2 money, no strings attached. Two thirds of that giant pile of SR-3 money was given to the states to their schools and that was March 24th when the two-thirds of the SR-3 money was distributed. April 22nd was when the interim final requirements came out listing all of those CDC requirements. So they gave them a lot of money, more money, and even more money, and then they laid out the requirements. That is, that's simply fraud.

DAN MEREDITH: Right.

A.J. DEPRIEST: Yeah. You can't give schools all that money and then say, oh by the way, here's what you have to do to keep that money.

DAN MEREDITH: Right.

A.J. DEPRIEST: Hmm mm.

DAN MEREDITH: You think the government planned that?

A.J. DEPRIEST: Yeah, I think they did. Yeah.

DAN MEREDITH: We're from the government and we're here to help you.*

A.J. DEPRIEST: Exactly![laughs] Exactly.

DAN MEREDITH: Well I'm glad you are doing this and your group of people are doing this because this is the kind of thing that most normal everyday people, they've never heard of this kind of thing.

A.J. DEPRIEST: Hmm mm.

DAN MEREDITH: None of us knew that. I mean, I didn't know that. Most of our listeners didn't have any idea this kind of thing was going on.

A.J. DEPRIEST: Well I think the reason why we started digging into this is because something wasn't jiving in our minds. We were going to school board meetings and we were watching them online and the way school boards were behaving when crying parents, begging to have their kids unmasked and they were dropping just reams of studies about how masks were inefficient and even detrimental to health and they just didn't seem to have any emotion or response. And we wanted to know why. We also wanted to know why there were no OSHA HAZMAT bins anywhere in any school for the disposal of these toxic, deadly masks. And so we started looking at why these things were happening and what we discovered was that these requirements in the interim final requirements were behind it all.

More On Our “Humanity”

Date: 2023-03-15 11:16 pm (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
Maybe it’s more than just a coincidence; I can’t say for sure. But late in last week’s chat I shared a new video of Canadian veteran and Freedom Convoy spokesperson Tom Marazzo narrating, along with others, something he had written regarding the preciousness of our humanity and the horrors that take over when we – as a society – abandon it. Well, today I came across an article written by Canadian freedom fighter Julie Ponesse which touches upon the same topic but from her own unique perspective.

Quite likely I am ‘preaching to the choir’ and maybe the topic has been ‘beaten to death’, but in the off chance that someone among us might like to reflect on such things, I feel inspired to share Julie’s latest article: https://brownstone.org/articles/do-you-matter/

Thank you Ron. I have the Tom Marazzo video open in another window now for viewing shortly.

Will check out Julie Ponesse also.

Serious heartfelt material. Good to reconnect with those who both feel and think deeply.

Incendiary Calgary Call Out

transcriberb: (Default)
From: [personal profile] transcriberb
Funny how it is, I was determined to put a lid on these transcriptions at year-end 2022 but I keep coming across videos that I feel a strong pull to transcribe. This is a really strange one. It appeared in Mark Crispin Miller's Substack as a repost of someone's tweet of a video by woman in Calgary, calling out a political candidate who was campaigning door to door. He laughed at her when she said her sons had died (not clear that they died from vaxx injuries, but the tweeter who posted the video asserted that). That sounded astoundingly terrible, so I wanted to see for myself if the video clip was being fairly described. Let's just say, it wasn't fun to transcribe. The political candidate behaved like a craven fool, however, I don't think he was necessarily far from the spectrum of what passes for normal these days. Mainly I think he was confused to have been so challenged on the vaxxes, he'd concluded the woman was a nut (because who wouldn't think the vaxxes are safe and effective?!), and his laughing was mainly-- I would guess, I'm not in his head-- because he was nervous; after all, he laughed when he introduced himself. But enough of my perhaps overly charitable interpretations. I felt it was important to transcribe this video because it so well illustrates the vast gulf between those bought into "the narrative" and those who did not-- as of March 2023.

TRANSCRIPT

BEV: Oh, really, you're the NDP candidate?

DENIS: Yeah. Nice to meet you. Denis.

BEV: Bev.

DENIS: Nice to meet you Bev. How's it going?

BEV: Good how are you?

DENIS: Good, having a nice [inaudible] [laughs loudly] yeah just going around introducing to neighbors, asking what's the most important issues for you coming up this election.

BEV: Freedom.

DENIS: Oh yeah.

BEV: Freedom.

DENIS: [laughs] Yeah.

BEV: So you know, one of the things that I think that in a free country that um, we should be able to decide is what medicines we take and don't take.

DENIS: Yeah.

BEV: And where does your party stand on that?

DENIS: Yeah well, in terms of you mean more vaxx policies.

BEV: Hmm mm.

DENIS: I'm assuming.

BEV: That's a medicine, right?

DENIS: Yeah. So with us right now if you look at all our policy papers coming out [inaudible] future dot ca they've got it all listed on there.

BEV: Cause what I saw Rachel Notley say was that everybody needs to be vaccinated.

DENIS: Yeah it would have been great if more were vaccinated honestly.

BEV: Why do you figure that?

DENIS: Um, because vaccines work great. [laughs]

BEV: And why do you say they work?

DENIS: Yeah because we've seen every study [inaudible]

BEV: It didn't, it didn't stop the spread.

DENIS: It actually [inaudible]

BEV: It didn't stop you from catching it.

DENIS: Yeah no [laughs]

BEV: I have friends that are vaccine injured.

DENIS: Yeah.

BEV: And did you realize that who makes these vaccines?

DENIS: Yeah big pharmaceutical companies.

BEV: And do you realize that they've all been sued and have paid the biggest fines in history for getting rid of studies and bribing doctors? Did you know that?

DENIS: No, I think we're looking at different facts here, but—

BEV: Oh no no. I, I, I, I've been studying this and researching this before covid even started.

DENIS: Oh yeah.

BEV: Like these companies have all been convicted of felony charges.

DENIS. Yeah.

BEV: You know? The vaccine injury boards only pick up 1% down in the United States of the vaccine injuries and you know these companies are the only companies on the planet who have no li—

DENIS: [inaudible]

BEV: who have no liability for their products.

DENIS: Yeah.

BEV: So if their product injures you, you can't sue them.

DENIS: You know I'm just going to stop you, we're going to respectfully disagree on that. I'm going to go chat with more neighbors, it's totally fine—

BEV: So why don't you want to finish this conversation? Like your party—

DENIS: I'm sorry—

BEV: is is pushing an unproven vaccine—

DENIS: Sorry m'am [laughs]

BEV: onto people and you're standing here laughing!

DENIS: Yeah.

BEV: You find that funny?

DENIS: We've got different I guess disagree some different facts but you enjoy your day. [walking away, laughing]

BEV [following as he continues to walk away]: These are facts. There's only one set of facts. But politicians have two sets of facts.

DENIS: Thank you m'am.

BEV: You know Rachel Notley is trying to force unstudied vaccines on people and you guys are promoting this?

DENIS: [smiling, turns back to her and waves, then continues to walk away, laughing]

BEV: how many vaccines that how many people have been injured and killed by these vaccines? And you want to know something else, while you're laughing and smiling, that I'd like to share with you?

DENIS: Thank you m'am, thank you m'am.

BEV: My two sons are dead. My two sons are dead. So you keep smiling about that. One of them died on—

DENIS: I'm not smiling.

BEV: Well you've been smiling ever since I've been talking to you.

DENIS: [inaudible]

BEV: You've been standing there laughing.

DENIS: [inaudible]

FELLOW ELECTION CAMPAIGNER: [inaudible]

BEV: One of them died at 34 years old New Year's Day.

DENIS: That's really [inaudible]

BEV: He left behind a one year old and an unborn child.

DENIS: Sorry.

BEV: No listen to me!

DENIS: No we're going to agree to disagree here?

BEV: What are you going to disagree about? Whether or not my sons are dead or alive?

DENIS: No, you've got your opinion.

BEV: I'm trying to tell you something.

DENIS: Yeah.

BEV: I'm trying to tell you what these lockdowns have caused.

DENIS: You're screaming m'am. I'm sorry, but we're just going to keep walking.

BEV: That's because you cut me off, and it's not screaming it's raising—

DENIS: We've got to talk to neighbors, I'm sorry.

BEV: And what am I? Because I don't agree with you you're going to go on to somebody else?

DENIS: You're screaming.

FELLOW CAMPAIGNER: We'll go to a different block.

DENIS: Yeah. Yeah Let's, just move, guys.

BEV: Yeah, go push your bullshit some place else.

FELLOW ELECTION CAMPAIGNER: Sure have a great day [inaudible, campaigners talk among themselves]

BEV: Your communist bullshit. I will never have a great day because my two sons are dead because of people like you.

FELLOW ELECTION CAMPAIGNER: Let's just walk, yeah.

BEV: Keep walking and laughing.

DENIS [walking, showing a big smile]

BEV: It's so funny.

DENIS: [walking, smiling]: OK

BEV: People dying. Dropping dead all over the place.

DENIS: It's OK. [inaudible]

BEV: No it's not OK. People's children dying is not OK. And that's what your party is pushing, trying to force unstudied vaccines on people.

NEIGHBOR AT FRONT GATE: [loud clapping]

BEV: Yeah that's what they're doing. But they don't want to stop and talk about that.

DENIS: [laughing]

BEV: Go talk to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.

DENIS: Let's go.

BEV: But I know about Pfizer, I know about these vaccine companies.

DENIS: OK [inaudible]

BEV: [addressing the backs of several election campaigners as they all walk away] And I know about Rachel Notley because I used to support that little commie. And now she wants to force me to take a vaccine. You know what you guys should be doing is going to Ottawa and asking Justin Trudeau how many millions of dollars he made on these vaccines. How about asking that? How about finding that out?

DENIS: [continuing to walk away together with several other election workers]: Thank you m'am.

BEV: And you should go do your research on these vaccine companies because they have paid the biggest fines in human history. Because they've killed so many people. What other company do you know, what other company do you know has no liability? Why won't yous answer any of these questions? These are very serious questions that Canadians would like to know. NDP party has no answer. No answer. Running with their tails between their legs like little Rachel Notley.

This is very time-consuming work you have done on behalf of all of us and thank you.


The NDP candidate seems very much like what the NDP has turned into. I remember when federal NDP leader Jack Layton was rising in the polls and the party had visions of a possible national victory I ran into an NDP (local) MP on the campaign trail and asked him a question about an NDP policy. He said, 'We have to say this because we might win.' I thought..........'Huh?' Quite flimsy ...........and this young candidate in the video above has that Kamala Harris 'I'm zonked on opiates' zero mythic depth laugh.

From: (Anonymous)
...not a lot of time to check in but i'm getting used to the fact that we've already lost WW3 and i'm acclimating myself to this new reality so that i can step UP to it, like i eventually had to with my own wild hair. part of the reason i decided not to straighten my hair was also because i wouldn't know how to ACT in straight hair because straight hair is also PERFORMANCE.

okay... back to things:

i realize last big hurrah on this End of America thing is GEN X. we are the only thing between ...well, we're the LAST HOPE.

that means i'm tripling down on the movie lines to find each other.

i'm taking memes into The Real. somehow.

but also i took a long bath and realized that many of you all, you entrepreneurs and dare devils here, need to look up OSCAR MICHEAUX. he was a crappy filmmaker but was a millionaire because he was the head of a chitlin circuit for film as there wasn't a ton of film for negroes.

the commercial real estate might have to go through foreclosures and new owners before it's even worth thinking of renting a place for any length of time but first i thought of A WAVE in the tub.

a WAVE, meaning i'm not worried about changing or saving society or even America anymore... all i can do is try and start the party the WAVE so that others can emulate or riff or do the opposite. but we're all talk until we have some sort of economic ...THING. some parallel thing.

i'm not putting energy into forgiving not forgiving fixing or denying... i'm gonna take my talent and James HATES this megalomaniacal side of me but (shrug)...what else we gonna do. ain't nada on TV as we used to say for real before we'd go outside to PLAY.

watch the Twilight Zone episode "Kick the Can." that's where we're at now.

i'm plotting and scheming. using the indefinite closure of the mission cultural center print shop to make my own ghetto one. i saw a youtube video of a Mexican cat doing photo emulsion in a veritable "cave" with chickens outside and a squirt bottle, no running water or dark room fancy lights or anything.

no excuse.

so from looong ago in the garage, i've got 5 aluminum screens with the printable image area 11x30". perfect. i got 'em cheapish years ago because i like scary sizes.

anyhow, out of nowhere Papa G's composition came to me!~ LONG BEARD takes up MOST the 30". beard hair lovingly illustrated in ink individually. he needs a nib like a croquill or that effect of ancient lines that vary with pressure. no rapidograph tedium for Papa G. i love rapidographs but when OTHER people use 'em. i have many but they're like straightened hair for me. i don't recognize work in my own hand when the line is that monotonous.

so first one is riffing off our dear EL GATO! can't do the upside down exclamation point on this computer. this is the big beast that flattens laps. EL GATO's inspiration comes first because it's THE CATS. didn't the libs even try and outlaw cats at some point?

the cats are it. it wasn't up to me and EL GATO! sent over all these kittens. we cannot live in this apartment with 5 cats for the rest of my life so i feel challenged to now solve that problem by suddenly becoming optimistic about our business/economic prospects for the future.

that's where JULY 4th comes in. i saw the date regarding something ELSE and it underlined what i've been avoiding: we need to do a wave of a tour thing or meet ups regarding parties art music CULTURE.

we have a culture. a burgeoning culture. i have to - even as i'm rebuilding my own life in the real here in SF - i have to not dismiss what Papa G has courted started HERE and others are playing "with" me and get me don't fear me and pass the vibes the intent the energy the love, on. i've SEEN it.

it's a burgeoning culture and thus i must honor it and answer others' serves and volleys to keep this in the air. no more whining moping fretting. i have to shake it off and go "it is what it is" and be with that in my bones and not try and get "my old boyfriend" back and just deal.

so the wave...

i'm writing the process even though i'd rather impress and jump out from behind the curtain looking and smelling perfect. but nah. this is live theatre in the real and i'll share the perfume. oh... that's what you call it? yes!

the wave. after us Gen Xers, it's over. so what have we to lose in this? is it a hail mary? i can't even THINK that. i can't worry about a Jonestown world and courting and convincing them to live as they're trying to flush us all down and out and gone.

i've gotta start the cultural WAVE... try and STEAL use borrow bite what is HERE so that we may find each other.

gotta go. James calling me dinner's ready.

but look up Oscar Micheaux. we need our own chitlin circuit and that's what i aim to help bring into being.

This is an interesting read:

As the author says, "The 'hermit state' had almost no Covid in 2021 due to its extreme zero Covid policies, so WA vaccine safety data provides unique insight into vaccine effects absent the confounder of Covid infection"

The author higlights data on "adverse events following immunisation (AEFIs) with the Covid vaccines were reported at almost 24x the rate (per 100, 000 doses) of AEFIs for all other vaccines combined."

For me the real kicker was a bit further down the page, where the author links to stats which she says show "Background rates of myocarditis and pericarditis increased by 35% and 25%, respectively"

!!!

I do not possess any stats talent myself, so can only take her word for it...perhaps some maths masters here might like to check the figures... but that seems very damning. And it provides a good answer for Helen in Oz upthread, who remarked on how people are blaming the increased illness and deaths on 'long covid'.

Living with death

I've been to a lot of funerels lately. More than any other year.
Well, because of my fraternal memberships, my social circle is older, significantly, than I am. Losing friends thirty to sixty years older than I am is not exactly a tragedy (I'm middle aged myself), though it is a grief.

Talking with kids and friend and friends' kids, though, we noted that people live today who would have died as infants fifty years ago, and people lived as infants then who would have died fifty years before that.

With medicine getting shakier and less available, we're going to start losing children again to things we don't lose hardly any to right now. Like food allergies. Childbirth complications. Asthma. We came up with a pretty long list just running through the things that failed to kill us over the years. I'd have half my kids, my friend would have died giving birth to her first and her husband would have died last year.

We're going to have to learn how to live with really massive child mortality rates, and some pretty ugly maternal mortality rates, if medicine keeps getting worse.

As my sons' quote "She took God's hand in hers and walked through the Valley of Shadows to give you life." (DeMolay Flower Talk) We're walking towards the Valley of Shadows. There is no way around, and to stop the procession is out of any of our individual control.

How do we do this? Who remembers how? How do we live when we're the ones left? How do we prepare for when we're the ones leaving others behind? Modern society says "buy life insurance" and "set up a go fund me." That takes care of financial needs, maybe, but nothing else.

We all come from different traditions, here. Let's dig into this now, before we need it.

My people show up with food. It's a small thing, but it's very nice to not have to think what to feed the children when you can't think. Life does not stop for grief. I know there are traditions of wailing and other actions, but I know nothing about them other than that they exist, and they must help folks deal, somehow, and keep on living.

I'd have died at least three times as a child (I couldn't feed as an infant, I got severe pneumonia, and punctured a lung, all before I was ten), so this is something that hits close to home for me. I wish I had a good answer other than we're all going to need to get used to a lot more death than we've seen in living memory. I hope it comes on slowly, rather than all at once, but we'll just have to see how it plays out.

As for options, my family has a long standing tradition of spacing our visits when someone loses a loved one: we don't all go for the funeral, instead we'll plan our visits so that when family friends lose loved ones we can be there for them when everyone else has gone home. Grief takes a lot longer than just the funeral, so having people there later can be a lifesaver, sometimes quite literally.

Found a site satirizing the covid response of an academic town near my job. Here's a good example:

All the material, sadly, seems based on real life policies

Things may get very interesting in the US covidian-narrative-shake-it-up-wise -- it looks like RFK Jr may jump in as a presidtial candidate. He says he is seriously considering it.

For foreigners, and those not aware, the state of New Hampshire holds the first of the primary election for the US presidency, so serious candidates put special focus there starting about... now.

He better get himself a bulletproof Pope-mobile, considering how things have historically gone for people named Kennedy.

University Asks Judge To Block Release Of Documents Related To Dangerous Coronavirus Research
by Dylan Houseman, March 14, 2023

The University of North Carolina is asking a judge to block the release of documents related to the research of Dr. Ralph Baric, a pioneer in the world of dangerous gain-of-function virus research.

UNC is being sued by U.S. Right To Know, a nonprofit watchdog that works to expose wrongdoing by corporations and governments in the healthcare space, for documents related to Baric’s research while working at the university. While some documents have been turned over during the course of the coronavirus pandemic, UNC filed a motion to dismiss late last week seeking to prevent the release of some documents being sought by USRTK.
