Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 97
Jun. 13th, 2023 01:55 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

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: 2023-06-14 08:51 pm (UTC)Funnily enough, though, I don‘t think I‘ve ever read anything about the covid response in North Korea… :D
Anyway, if anybody can explain how the effects of TDS and the related workings could create such madness in such a variety of countries, I‘d love to read about it - I simply can‘t imagine how this could have worked.
To me, this was the weirdest thing which creeped me out the most: how so much of the world went completely bonkers in lockstep. That, together with the creepy vibes from this whole episode, makes me think there was something „non-human“ behind this all. But whether TDS and the response to it played such a major role… dunno - but I‘m open to explanations if anybody has them. :-)

I had not heard anything about it online; all the hooraw was about the upcoming Grand Mutation in December.
At the time I had the sensation that a massive cosmic door had pivoted on its hinge and things were going to be very different from here on out.

Date: 2023-06-17 03:24 pm (UTC)I feel this pretty much every day now! Lyrics from an 1971 Carole King song rise up all the time: "I feel the earth move under my feet, I feel the sky come tumblin' down". 2020 was a turning point year of great magnitude. It began with a bang with the Saturn/Pluto conjunction, then an extended Jupiter/Pluto conjunction, culminating in the Grand Mutation on the winter solstice. Another famous song title from 1957 also seems apt: Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On!
Thanks for the interesting link.

Date: 2023-06-18 01:02 pm (UTC)I periodically - like, it will happen 2-3 times in the course of a few days, then not for a while, then 2-3 times in a few days again - get a sensation that I can only describe as being hit by a mild earthquake tremor (or two) in the absence of any seismic activity. It's like something shoves me sideways, like you would feel as the tremor moved through and the earth itself jerked. It's a fairly mild, but very strange sensation. When it first happened, I used to ask other people if they had felt "a mild earthquake" and try to look up seismic activity on line, but nobody ever knew what I was talking about and I never found any seismic activity reports. (I live in an are with low seismic activity, and have never experienced more than a mild earthquake a few times in my life.)
Either I'm having weird full-body hallucinations, or there is something "else" going on that I'm sensing and which can't be explained by mundane means. Like I'm physically sensing a shift on another plane, maybe? Like something is shifting and settling into a new place, and I sometimes sense the jolts?

Date: 2023-06-14 10:56 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2023-06-15 04:48 am (UTC)So many mythologies place all the chthonic powers of hell deep inside the earth that Gaia can come across as being hellish herself. She’s not though. If anything, she’s more the gatekeeper, keeping all those chthonic forces underneath her from imbalancing the world by surging up all unrestrained. Were she weakened, more of those forces could then escape to wreak havoc, but she’s not going to call them up herself. That would go against her nature, and, given that she IS nature, that would pretty much be the universe going against itself.
On the other hand, Gaia in her divine balance is perfectly willing to work with other balancing forces, such as Karma. The resource guzzling PMC-class has had some rather interesting karma coming its way for a very long time now. Maybe Gaia just thought it was high time for them to enjoy the fruits of the harvest they had so enthusiastically sown behind themselves with nary a thought for the consequences. I rather doubt that it would have taken much arm-twisting to get Karma to go along with her, if Gaia did decide the time for harvesting was ripe.
