Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 96

absurdities and atrocitiesAs 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.

My house would be one of the ones you noticed because of its poor state of maintenance.

Before lockdown I used to work on it, repairing cracks in walls, sweeping the driveway etc. Now I just don't care anymore. I can only just summon the energy to go to my bs job to keep the bank account going. I'm unfoxed but I am broken. My spirit is broken.

Maybe what you are seeing have some non physical origins too?

Yes it does have nonphysical origins. Kimberly Steele wrote a good piece as I recall about the health of the etheric body. My best wishes to you.

PS Whoever you are, dear Anonymous, you are very much needed. And sweeping your driveway might actually matter, a lot.

Hang in there, fellow Anonymous! These are indeed trying times. May better days find you soon.

I'm also ignoring gardening and maintenance issues that I used to keep up on. I too just don't care anymore. However, in my case, it's not that my spirit is broken. It's that all the niggling distractions of trying to be a good American, a good neighbor, a good cog, keeping someone else's rule book firmly in place, can no longer inspire any obedience out of me.

Wow, did that just sound like Deplorable-speak??? From whom, sweet little old Moi??? Surely, you must be kidding!

Being a good neighbor was always bringing round food when they were sick or lending a hand when they needed to rebuild something. When did it turn into meeting someone else's arbitrary standards of lawn care, just to keep their property values levitating in the stratosphere or the city inspectors off your back? Sheesh, if I had ever wanted to suffer under the constant threat of a tyrannical homowners association, I could always have bought in some sterile planned community! So why has this dreary hell been brought down on the rest of us?

The bs job, the bs bank account, the bs lawncare — I too just can't summon the energy to play all their ridiculous games anymore. What then to do with all the energy that I'm not willing to pour into this dying parasitical system? I find it quite astonishing just how much energy I now have available to pour into healing my Self and others' Selves from all the damages this corrupt disaster of a failed worldview has inflicted on us.

I highly recommend not giving any of your best energy away to that bs job. It doesn't deserve it, it doesn't require it, and it will never repay you for it. Pour your vital energies into the areas that you actually love and value, and let the bs job just putter its way along to its eventual redundant demise.

I wish I could say the seedy look of my yard was because I am protesting middle-classdom. But it's really because my mower wouldn't start after the winter, I've drained the gas and replaced it, put in a new spark plug, replaced the air filter... and that's all I know how to do, so now I have to find a mower repair place. Sigh.

I'm tempted to just mulch the whole yard and plant pumpkins.

Pumpkins! Yum! That sounds like a temptation to succumb to! :)

Just found out a local tree maintenance company is willing to drop off mulch by the truckload so long as they don't have to pay the dump to accept it. Maybe you could come to a similar arrangement in your area? Be wary of spiders of course.

I encourage you in that pumpkin idea! You might even add a few other plants, like corn, beans, or sunflowers. Amaranth looks great and makes good cereal, or you might try buckwheat. Really, any mix of simple edibles is more appealing than lawn.
