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.

Um, folks, that's "a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other" -- and thus not appropriate for this forum. Thank you for keeping this venue on theme!

I remember being a teenager and an enthusiastic volunteer for the Eugene McCarthy 'insurgent' presidential Peace campaign (in Wisconsin).
He did very well and had quite a head of steam then Bobby joined the race and we know how everything turned out.
A few short years ago I was listening to a university (progressive, leftist etc...) radio program and they played an interview with
one of McCarthy's national campaign managers. His description of the campaign sounded quite chaotic and something Hunter Thompson could have turned into a novella. He also said the campaign was 'flush with CIA operatives who had oodles of cash.'
I thought, 'WHAT?'
I've never gotten acclimated to the weirdness in everything and react naively even at my age.

Date: 2023-03-29 11:10 am (UTC)Speaking of trolls, I've actually been noticing, and with no small surprise, how few there are elsewhere, where I would assume the comments sections are not moderated (nor not moderated strictly), as for example, on many of the Substack covid-related blogs. I do spot the trolls, but there are actually only a few, and they're pretty obvious & lame. I would have expected more.
P.S. Who else remembers making prank telephone calls?

Date: 2023-03-30 01:12 am (UTC)I remember how crank calls took a 'dark' turn....
Not as bad as one could imagine...the root was humour but it went several steps
beyond calling the tavern and asking to speak to customer I.C. Upee.
The bartenders would humour us by calling out the name. 'Is I.C. Upee here?'

Date: 2023-04-02 02:30 pm (UTC)I saw a cartoon once of a bunch of old guys 'celebrating' in triumph, one of their members raised and being carried.
The caption said 'State Champions 1955.'
One of the celebrators said, 'Of course a lot of the excitement has gone out of it by now.'
lol.
