ecosophia | Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 96

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.

Rintrah posted about it previously, but Igor has taken that post and expanded on it a bit. Worth the read.

Dutch government data are showing that the first quarter of 2023 saw a 40% increase in people seeing a primary care doc for memory/cognition problems, in the 45-75 age group. The increase is also there for younger folks, but a mere 31% there :/

I was already fairly careful about not driving around unnecessarily. I don't live in a walkable city, and have no prospects for moving to one, so-- necessary evil, for now. Hopefully not forever. Still, one gets lazy. The reports on this have made me pay more attention to other drivers, drive more defensively, and consider, much more carefully, each foray out onto the roads. Do I really need to go? Could I make three or four stops and avoid a future trip? I used to do this to save gas... now I am letting mileage concerns slide in favor of being more careful at intersections, not counting on other people to stop for red lights, keeping a good distance between my car and other cars, bit of hypervigilance, that sort of thing.

Have seen a lot of impaired-looking driving going on lately. People not being able to merge, even when there's hardly any traffic (like, complete stop, on an on-ramp, look both ways several times, then ease out into a 40mph zone), people not able to stay in their lane, people going halfway into the left lane to pass a bicyclist with 8ft of clearance.

But, as always, I'm still new to this town, the stench in all the major intersections says 10% of the population is driving around completely baked, and I have no way of knowing whether the bad driving here is a longstanding problem, or something recent.

Is this how car culture ends?

We have noticed a lot of really aggressive and/or impaired driving around here, too (CT part of NYC metro area.)

Also a new thing called "takeovers", when a throng of aggressive drivers (almost always young men) intentionally block an intersection/parking lot/etc. with their cars and use the space to perform dangerous tricks in motorized vehicles.

It's an interesting phenomenon. Obviously a lot of young men bored and needing to do young men type things. Instead of horses, they use cars and motorcycles.

But lately they've been getting kind of violent, trapping other drivers and jumping on their cars, etc., so the police have gotten involved.

In ANOTHER source of problems though, everyone around here is impaired by the screen of thick smoke funneling down from Canada into our area. It's really bad--smells like a forest fire here for the past three days, kids sports and field days canceled, people who work outside are sick, everyone has a cough.

Climate change + covid/vax injuries + testosterone = bad scene.

Yep, belief in the climate change narrative is a known cause of cognitive decline, so add that to the jab and you've got a problem for sure.

I went out to get the mail. The sky was orange and it smelled like a campfire. I went inside and loaded up the Plume Labs air quality webpage. It said:

"Dire."

Well OK then.

(I'd bet the reason for that is that when they coded it, they never thought the AQI would get that high.)

That was a few days ago. Everyone in the house is coughing and we have a toddler. :facepalm: It's supposed to improve now for a while. But the news sites also say to expect this on and off all summer because they say the fires are away from populated areas so they're just going to let them burn, so the smoke will be back any time the wind shifts.

Seems like another sign of decline to me: Canada no longer has the wherewithal to put out fires that are affecting only their neighbors' citizens and not their own.

Put a 20x20 hepa/smoke particulate filter on the intake side of a box fan and run it in the house with all your windows closed. It will take the smoke particulate out of your indoor air. I am always astonished at how dirty the filter gets!

My husband and I use that during smoke and fire season in Oregon. We got the idea from a friend who goes to China which has filthy air. It works for those of us who don’t have an expensive HVAC system for heating and cooling our homes.

I run some air filters in the house. Out of curiosity, I took some readings with my radiation detector (a bGeigie from Safecast, which I understand detects mostly alpha particles). For whatever reason, the dirty air filters give readings significantly higher than the background. Whatever they are filtering out is apparently radioactive.

Another interesting thing I've noticed is that my bGeigie gets the highest readings on city streets. Tends to be lowest out in the forest.

Wow. That's really all I can say.

Actually, no, I can say more: I spoke with a paleoclimate researcher yesterday about the last time North American warmed like this. She said (referring to the Pliocene, I believe) that forest fires at high latitudes were much more common then.

So this may be a feature of the new normal, as they say. Wondrous.

--Ms. Krieger

Ooooo, don’t get me started on this one!

First the fires started in Alberta a few weeks ago. Some of my ‘freedom friends’ in that province reported that arson is a definitely a factor as late April is not fire season in Alberta and a trucker reported seeing a series of regularly spaced fires near a highway which were nowhere near any other fires. Then the fires spread across the whole country, including Nova Scotia which has had an extremely cold and wet spring. Oddly enough concrete bridges in that province have been burning, with no sign of fire among the trees and other vegetation in the vicinity (who knew that spontaneous combustion is one of the properties of concrete?). Satellite photos of Quebec show many fires starting across the province at exactly the same time (synchronized cloudless lightning bolts, or something, I guess). Sure enough, dozens of arsonists have been caught and charged. The same arsonists who are at it year after year in Alberta: they have extreme left affiliations (scaring the be jeepers out of the public to think that ‘climate change is happening – better fund us if you want to save the planet’).

To add fuel to the fire, fire departments and firefighting services across Canada are terribly short-staffed because many firefighters refused the pokey-pokey and were fired – and are not being re-hired. Some fire departments are at half-staffing levels. Knowing that the situation is dire, legions of retired fire-fighting professionals have contacted their respective authorities offering their services, only to be told by the authorities (after contacting them many times) that they have been put on a waiting list – and are never contacted again.

Apologies to Americans who live close enough to the Great White North to experience bad air quality these days due to your northern neighbour circling the drain. I understand that New England solar farms have been generating about 50% of the power that they usually do this time of year due to the smoke.

The memory loss is lucky then, they won't be able to remember what caused their problems.
