Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 97

[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.

Milkyway,

Here's how this works as I see it: in every country, there's an elite class that sets most of the policies and cultural thinking for said country. In plenty of nations, this elite social class is at least partially bought off by the American Empire; in some cases, they could survive but would lose an enormous amount of the perks they currently enjoy if the empire goes away; in others, they're dead without the ongoing military and financial support of the US. Even in countries such as Iran and Russia, where the social classes that run things at the moment are not tied to the US in this fashion, there are almost always competing power centres which are, and which would, if given a chance, happily take over. These are extremely vulnerable, since without the constant military, financial, and propaganda support of the American Empire, they are uncomfortably likely to end up dangling from lampposts, and even if they avoid that fate, their current perks depend on supporting Washington in local power struggles.

One of the core mechanisms by which the empire functioned was by the creation of new dollars, which could be used to gobble up huge amounts of overseas wealth, which was only possible without catastrophic inflation because a rapidly increasing amount of international trade was done in US dollars. This is why "free trade", where an ever increasing fraction of economic activity requires international trade, is so important to the empire: it's the means by which these dollars can be sent into circulation outside of the US, and thus can be created without causing a hyper-inflationary episode.

This constant outflow of dollars though caused a major economic imbalance in the US, and one side effect of this was the destruction of the factories and other manufacturing jobs which used to provide the working class with a huge percentage of their jobs, and a very large portion of the well paying ones. This played a massive role in plunging millions of Americans into poverty, and in depriving millions more of their ability to support their families without taking handouts; this is a very big deal to a lot of working class people: the inability to support a family without needing assistance has caused major psychological trauma to a lot of the working class.

Trump went on the offensive here, and, perhaps aware of what he was doing, perhaps not, started attacking the core of the American Empire's wealth pump; take free trade away, and the ability to print dollars on demand goes away; the end result would be the collapse, or at least drastic reduction, of the empire. This would result in a massive realignment, not just within the US, but around the globe; and this would see plenty of people who currently hold power suddenly lose it in dozens, if not hundreds of nations, and the core of the empire (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Israel) very suddenly lose a lot of international power and with it a lot of wealth; for at least two of these, this would in fact be an existential threat.

This meant that the elite classes around the world had every incentive to fight it, but there's a bitter irony here: their self-image said that they should be fighting for their own nation, and in many cases their home country has been ruined economically by free trade. In fact, one of the more brilliant elements of the American Empire is the way that since each nation raised its own elite class, they could reliably be counted on to fight each other, and try to push more of the costs of the empire onto other countries, instead of their own.

Suddenly faced with the fact that their interests were not aligned with those of their countries, and faced with the prospect of needing to defend a system that, up until this point, many of them had been fighting because of the damage it did to their own countries', the elite classes worldwide suffered mental breakdowns. TDS thus set in in not just in the US, but around the globe as people suffered meltdowns due to the cognitive dissonance associated with Trump; especially once it became clear that his rhetoric was not just bluster, but that he intended to try to keep at least some of his campaign promises. Meanwhile, since the US has spent decades using vast sums of money supporting "Progressive" movements around the world, there's a lot of support for the sort of magic which the Magic Resistance did, since the neo-pagan movement was, until quite recently, widely considered "Progressive".

The end result is that a huge number of the Magic Resistance workings were performed all around the world; and it seems likely to me that when they earthed out, they would have earthed out not just in the US, but in every society where the elites were involved with them. This is also, of course, also ignoring the very real possibility that other groups used magic of their own to try to attack Trump; which merely tosses in another wild card into the game.
