Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 96

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.

Date: 2023-06-13 12:27 am (UTC)Maybe changes due to climate change - a hotter Earth contains more energy, perhaps it might/can express that in unanticipated ways? I know not everyone believes climate change is happening and that it seems to get blamed for everything, but if it is happening then perhaps it might cause some strange phenomenon like this? Or at least this seems like something that is more in its wheelhouse than having a bad reaction to covid, or whatever.
The fires around where I live have been extraordinary in recent years. Absolutely massive affairs with pyrocumulus clouds, and freak events caused by the scale of them - the intensity of some fire related winds even flipped a 10-ton fire truck over in one place, and thick smoke blanketed vast areas of the country. Each night I watched this towering wall of smoke roll in on the sea breeze from nearby fires, it was like watching a sandstorm or something like that approaching. Then it would slowly 'clear' during the day as the prevailing winds blew the smoke back seaward. Then in the evening it came back. Rinse and repeat.
No sooner was that disaster over than we got smashed by a freak hailstorm with these huge balls of ice busting everyone's windscreens and writing off their cars.
And shortly after that we entered covidworld and a whole new, seemingly endless, drama began. . .
The intensity of all sorts of events seems to be building. 'Natural' disasters, frankenviruses and "vaccines", 'heated' world affairs. . . The predictable world of yesteryear is vanishing in the rear-view mirror.
Why not ramping 'natural' electrical 'events' too?
Or maybe this is another manifestation of TPTB trying to destroy particular ways of life in Canada and forcing everyone into a new one. It's not as if that hasn't been happening openly all over the 'collective west' and that they don't have 'plans for everyone'.

Date: 2023-06-13 03:31 am (UTC)I am a bit further North in Western Washington, and yeah, the climate is changing. I've seen enough in my half century of living here to see that ball is already rolling. (Don't get me started on the stop climate change scam being pushed that rhymes too much with the 'we're all in this together' cooties bunk.)
Actually the one thing that has helped get me through all this cooties nonsense is to pay attention and help midwife the few acres I'm on. So far the vow 'Til death do us part' has dispelled every last hard sell of fear being pushed for me. Spending the last few days away from work mowing firebreaks makes a lot of sense if my heart is already married to the land. It is reassuring that we can also work with and build and ecology and not just destroy them.
That being said, I have geeked out on a bit of this stuff. Freaking cottonwoods burning from the inside out!?! A live one couldn't burn if you doused it with 100 gallons of #2 diesel. I keep them around here with the other trees because they won't burn and help for a natural firebreak.
Fires happen on their own well enough, and yes, Western North America does get dry summers, but what was shown for those specific fires ought to be raising more red flags than Chairman Mao's funeral.

Date: 2023-06-13 07:58 am (UTC)I didn't have a lot of faith left in TPTB after the last round of big fires here in Oz - our PM seized the opportunity to flee, sorry, to go on "holiday" and evacuate himself and his family to Fiji, while the whole damned continent burned and much of the citizenry gagged on smoke or had it even worse.
Sure, I had little faith left in TPTB anyway after 'claims' of WMD in Iraq, not to mention all the rest of the lies, dissembling, and manipulations that preceded or followed it on every conceivable issue. But even after all that, covidworld, and a particular issue to do with Afghanistan that I won't go into, proved that they were capable of falling even lower in my esteem - I guess some things just have to be experienced to be appreciated. . .
These days I reckon that TPTB are utterly unfit for the job right across the whole of the western world - they're completely untrustworthy, and totally lacking the necessary character, competence, and intelligence for the positions that they hold.
They certainly do NOT deserve anyone's respect, let alone obedience, and I don't blame anyone for thinking the worst of them, because they've demonstrated time, after time, and time again, that that's exactly what to expect.
Anyway, enough ranting from me - I'm sure I'm not telling anyone anything new.
Good luck on your land Coyote Girl, may you stay safe, and long enjoy it.
