Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 96

[ecosophia]

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.

Dear John Michael Greer and forumistas,

Thank you for making this possible. It gives me great, great solace to see this open anew each Tuesday.

Back in the original hypothesis, you outlined an endgame, stage 11, where the deaths became impossible to ignore, triage became the order of the day, governments proclaim the arrival of the predicted hyper-lethal variant and new rounds of shutdowns and the like come. Given the death rates are rising, to the point where it's getting hard to ignore, do you still think that's plausible?

I'm trying to figure out what happens now, but it's increasingly looking to me like your hypothesis was right in broad outline, just off with timing and (maybe) the cause of the deaths....

Where to even begin with that plexiglass photo... That cannot be real, yet part of me is like, yeah Kim, it's real. How are they supposed to exercise when they've got plexiglass that close to their bodies? Plus the horror novelist in me envisions the carnage that would ensue with the mildest of earthquakes, and they would almost deserve such a grisly fate for being that dumb... sheesh.

Canadian Cancer Patients to USA

I saw this when I checked the KOMO news site the other day:

My family lives in the Seattle area, so I check the local "news" several times a week. Canadian breast and prostate cancer patients are being sent to Washington state for treatment, as Vancouver lacks the capacity/facilities to do so.

This is not medical advice, nor homeopathical advice for that matter. But here is a paper by the Mexican National Institute of Medicine and Homeopathy about a group of homeopathic therapies for COVID-19. Since some people have gotten reinfections recently or had sequels, I figured it would be good to share in case anyone would like to consult a licensed homeopath to chat about it.

A group of homoeopathic medicines for COVID-19: A systematic review of clinical features

[(Anonymous)]

I was talking with a guy from work who had a horrific reaction to the vax and almost died. While in the hospital hanging on for dear life he felt completely disconnected from god, transforming him from semi-religious into an obnoxious atheist. Our conversation on the subject began when he started choking like a cat trying to cough of up a hairball. He said it happens to him regularly now, which is pretty terrifying. Also the part of his personalty that made him charming despite his numerous faults is rapidly disappearing and now he's becoming more belligerent. It's like a six year old trapped in a sixty year old body. He reminds me of the descending beast on The Wheel card. I think I'm actually witnessing someone being dragged off to hell, and it's probably time for another banishing ritual tonight because after hanging out too long in his atmosphere I feel kinda gross.

natto

[michele7]

A few posts back, the benefits of natto on covid had a small but lively thread. One person asked about fermenting natto without using commercial spores. I'd like to share my experience. After falling down the YouTube rabbit hole of watching umpteen "how to make natto" videos using plants as a source of the Bacillus subtilis, I used celery stalks as my bacillus source. I have celery growing in my garden, so I cut a few stems, stripped off the leaves, boiled them for a minute to get rid of any other bacteria. The fermentation was successful, but the natto sticky threads were not as strong as the commercial natto spore batch. I did find one source that used fig leaves and stated that the natto threads were as strong as commercially made natto. That will be my next batch since I have fig trees in our garden. I encourage any one who wants to try natto, but doesn't or can't get the spores to give a plant source of natto spores a try. Some videos I watched used mint stems, basil leaves and celery stalks.

An update

Hello!

Can we have an update on your views of how events will unfold concerning the vaccinated?

Last week, a poster linked to Rintrah who mentioned the steep increase in the Netherlands of people with memory and concentration problems. This was according to a newsbulletin of health agency RIVM. The news bulletin from RIVM is based on a quarterly inquiry that looks into symptoms that could be associated with Covid. It is based on reports from GP's but only looks for certain afflictions that are associated with Covid and its aftermath.

There is more beside the memory and concentration problems. RIVM reported also that there was a peak in heart arrythmia and dizziness in the first quarter of 2023. This is not a good sighn of course. I was hoping that now that the vaxxination spree and Covid itself have quieted down, the incidence of heartproblems would start approaching pre-Covid levels. That is obviously not the case.

PS I found this monitor of cancer incidence in the Netherlands. Till end of 2022 there was no increase, despite the situation in the US where according to The Ethical Sceptic a steep increase is going on. Unfortunately IKNL discontinued producing the numbers, so no information over 2023 is available. https://iknl.nl/monitor%20

Ecosophia Prayer List

[tunesmyth]

Here are all of the requests for prayer that have recently appeared across the Ecosophia community. Please feel free to add any or all of the requests to your own prayers.

If I missed anybody, or if you would like to add a prayer request for yourself or anyone who has given you consent (or for whom a relevant person holds power of consent) to the list, please feel free to leave a comment below.

* * *
This week I would like to bring special attention to the following prayer requests.

JH's mother-in-law Sue, who lives in Spain, has had a severe arthritis affliction in her knee that has left her unable to walk for weeks now, leaving her more or less bed bound; for prayers and/or healing energy for swift resolution of the issue and swift recovery of her ability to walk.

Tanamous's friend's brother David got in a terrible motorcycle accident and has been diagnosed as a quadriplegic given the resultant spinal damage; for healing and the positive outcomes of upcoming surgeries and rehabilitation, specifically towards him being able to walk and live a normal life once more.

One of open_space's best friends, Patricio Lopez de Nava Amezcua, was shot and killed last week; for the safe and pleasant passing of his soul. (Photo of Patricio here.)

Nicole's (shewhoholdstensions) 41 year brother Robert died suddenly in bed on May 15th; for a smooth and blessed journey on the other side. Robert was a single dad and he leaves behind three children: Hannah, Zack, and Jordyn; that they and Nicole be blessed and protected, and find what comfort they can during this very difficult time. (Update here.)

Lp9's request on behalf of their hometown, East Palestine Ohio, for the safety and welfare of their people and all living beings in the area. (Lp9 gives updates here and most recently here, and says "things are a bit... murky"), and the reasonable possibility seems to exist that this is an environmental disaster on par with the worst America has ever seen. At any rate, it is clearly having a devastating impact on the local area, and prayers are still warranted.

* * *

Guidelines for how long prayer requests stay on the list, how to word requests, how to be added to the weekly email list, how to improve the chances of your prayer being answered, and several other common questions and issues, are now to be found at the Ecosophia Prayer List FAQ.

If there are any among you who might wish to join me in a bit of astrological timing, I pray each week for the health of all those with health problems on the list on the astrological hour of the Sun on Sundays, bearing in mind the Sun's rulerships of heart, brain, and vital energies. If this appeals to you, I invite you to join me.

Apparently there has been a big increase in the number of brain abscesses in children. According to this article, it began in May of 2021.

https://www.sciencealert.com/abnormal-surge-of-brain-abscesses-in-american-children-cdc-says

Since this can be a side-effect of respiratory infections, the article says that this underscores the need for children to remain up to date on their COVID 19 vaccinations. It also includes speculation that this unusual occurrence might have been caused by the lifting of mask mandates. Science reporting at its finest, folks.

The Great COVID Death Coverup - Mercola

[fredsmith11]

Article here for about 24 hours: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2023/06/07/covid-death-coverup.aspx?

Some good charts in the article that show the spike in hospital deaths in early COVID times: " . . . the fact remains that the New York area experienced a uniquely sharp, awful mortality event in spring 2020 . . . ".

Hmm, surely a coincidence how those deaths fueled the propaganda machine.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Within weeks of the pandemic outbreak, it had become apparent that the standard practice of putting COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilation was a death sentence; 76.4% of COVID-19 patients (aged 18 to 65) in New York City who were placed on ventilators died. Among patients over age 65 who were vented, the mortality rate was 97.2%

The recommendation to place COVID patients on mechanical ventilation as a first-line response came from the World Health Organization, which allegedly based its guidance on experiences and recommendations from doctors in China. But venting COVID patients wasn’t recommended because it increased survival. It was to protect health care workers by isolating the virus inside the vent machine

Data suggest around 10,000 patients died with COVID in NYC hospitals after being put on ventilators in spring 2020. Other metropolitan areas also saw massive spikes in deaths among younger individuals who were at low risk of dying from COVID. It’s possible many of these deaths were the result of being placed on mechanical ventilation

Excerpts:
If you were older than 65, you were 26 times more likely to survive if you were NOT placed on a vent. A small study from Wuhan, China, put the ratio of deaths at 86%, and in Texas, 84.9% of patients died after more than 96 hours on a ventilator.

Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, in a mid-June 2022 lecture, admitted that placing patients on mechanical ventilation did more harm than good.

Polly Toynbee

[(Anonymous)]

Dear Mr Greer

Thought I would relate an incident that happened last week which perfectly illustrates the attitude of the liberal media. I ran into Polly Toynbee who was on her way to a book launch for her new book on class. Some of you might not know who she is. If I say that she is a famous columnist on the Guardian and the Observer, then that will tell you all you need to know.

I went up to her and asked her politely why there weren’t any stories about those who had been damaged by the covid vaccines in her paper. She seemed to be keen to reassure me that there had been a number of stories in the guardian about those who had been disabled by long covid and seemed keen to talk to me. I realised that she had misunderstood me and told her that I was talking about those who had been disabled by the covid vaccine. Her attitude suddenly changed, and she backed away from me saying that the science showed that the vaccines worked and that we will have to agree to disagree. She asked me if I had taken the vaccine and I said no and she said “there you go, you should thankful that people like me have taken the vaccine.”

I said that the vaccine did not stop transmission and she continues backing away and saying she did not want to discuss me. She told me that she did not want to talk to me. She looked like one of female victims in a Hammer House of Horror film who was backing away while she held of a cross to stop the vampire who was moving towards her. Some one else then came up to her and I gave up as I did not want to be accused of harassment and she had made it clear she did not want to talk about it.

I have to admit that I was not surprised by her actions and I went home. I felt I had a perfect right to raise the subject with her because she is a motor mouth who is always spouting her opinion on tv, radio and newspaper columns.

If any of you ever suffer from an infestation of Polly’s then call me in and I will get rid of them in 5 seconds.

Lock down failure

Dear Mr Greer

There has been a report from John Hopkins clearly stating that the lockdowns were a failure. There was an article about it in the telegraph and surprising as it may seem there was a story about it on the BBC radio 4 Today program on Monday. Please see following link

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/06/05/lockdown-benefits-drop-in-the-bucket-compared-to-the-costs-landmark-study-finds/

Igor on Dutch Memory Problems

[methylethyl]

https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/disturbing-rise-in-cognitive-problems

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 :/

US states legislative news

[(Anonymous)]

We're not hearing much about these legislative wins because of the censorship on the MSM and also, I think the whole subject, state level legislation, is more than a bit dry (...or, on the other hand, maybe kind of like natto...) but wow, there have been some successes / disasters averted. Have a look:

https://standforhealthfreedom.com/wins/

There is a small army of people now on the sharp-eyed lookout for the nitty gritty of state level legislation. And anyone can join.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure if this has been posted previously:

https://www.who.int/news/item/05-06-2023-the-european-commission-and-who-launch-landmark-digital-health-initiative-to-strengthen-global-health-security

In a word - vaccine passports - or, as they prefer to term it, "a wide range of digital products to deliver better health for all." Reassuring, isn't it, coming from the agency responsible for much of the upheaval we continue to experience. And now, they (officially) have power over us all.

As I've said (too) many times on this forum, they will not stop until they are made to stop.

My 33 year old son is in the hospital tonight with AFIV and Tachycardia that started late last night and got worse today. He has no other health problems but took the J&J shot in 2021 at about this time, so around 2 years ago. Any information or references folks have is very welcome. Also prayers. Thanks

TPTB are no longer fit to rule!

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever thought to yourself that as much as TPTB want and indoctrinate us all to believe that they're God and the sole source of authority, power, justice, reason, etc. on this Earth that they simply aren't?

And that as much as TPTB might demand worshipful, dutiful, even slavish obedience, that they simply don't deserve it?

Well, I'd just been trying to write a post along those lines, but I was tying myself in knots, so I put it aside thinking I might come back to it later.

And no sooner had I done that, then, then as fate would have it, I immediately stumbled upon these words by following a chain of links in the comments 'below the line' over at Gail Tverberg's site:

"Don't Let Them Get Away With It"

"There are notable moments in history when the overlords of this world go too far in their exercise of power and commit a crime that is a glaring expression of their arrogance. Such a crime is memorialized and becomes symbolic of their tyranny. Decent people are shocked by the spectacle of it and conclude that the overlords no longer have any legitimate claim to rule."

Well, thank you God!

That's precisely the sentiment I was trying to get to in my own, torturous, way.

Here's the links, and apologies in advance for any repetition if they've already been provided:
