Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 90

seatbeltAs 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.

Thank you for this. I birthed two out of three at home, but ended up at hospital after all of them for differing reasons, and I felt like a voiceless hostage the whole time I was there. And people react to me like I’m some kind of oversensitive crazy person when I bring it up. But it’s clear to me that as soon as you cross that threshold into hospital (or even an ambulance), your body is no longer your own. Like some kind of spell takes hold. The machines and their medically credentialed automatons create and interpret reality there, everyone else be damned.

“ i don't think this is hell here because i've had pleasures insights and relationships that were transcendent ARE transcendent. ”

If the pessimists are correct, then it would be counterproductive for the Demiurge/Archons to create a world of PURE 100% suffering.

Such a state of affairs would alert the prisoners that they are truly screwed. That runs the risk of the masses realizing their condition and banding together for some sort of jailbreak or revolution, just as might occur in the prisons and dictatorships we observe on earth and in history.

The Gnostics claim the only true salvation is through reconnecting with the Divine Spark hidden within the shells of your material incarnation).

No, from the perspective of the putative Higher Beings running the horror show here on earth, it makes sense to leaven the world with a large dollop of pleasure and joy, so as to keep the prisoners satisfied. Or, if not satisfied, at least imbued with hope that if the prisoners just do “this” or “that” they can once again regain the drug-like high of some semblance of satisfaction with their fate.

Kind of like the old Peanuts cartoons where Charlie Brown repeatedly falls for the illusion of Lucy promising not to take the football away just as he’s about to kick it.

For the 100th time.

It’s time to wake up.

Fascinating: this is just the inverse of the problem of evil. Why would an omnipotent, omniscient, omnidiabolical being allow good to exist? The fact that this question can only be answered with "it wouldn't" is impossible for you to imagine, so you have to come up with all sorts of implausible answers. Hmm.

I think you should re-examine your assumptions about what constitutes an “Evil God” (for lack of a better term)

If you were to ask the laboratory animals who are experimented on in the process of scientific research what they felt about their captors, they might very well describe them as “evil,” assuming they could talk. And they would say this despite that they are also given shelter, food and water.

Yet we as humans would acknowledge that while the topic of animal experimentation is ethically complex, the goal of the researchers is ultimately something benevolent - the well being of future humans.

We may be in a similar situation in relation to our “captor”

So black-or-white appeals to “omnibelevolent” or “omni-evil” notions of God/Source are probably best left to 19th century theological debates.
