Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 97

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.

Alas, those who grew addicted to the goodies that vending machine could once offer them can no longer pay much attention to anything except kicking their broken vending machine in the hope that something new may fall out of it. I do believe our PMC quislings may have inadvertently launched a brand new cargo cult. “If you kick Progress, the Great God in the Sky, hard enough, he’s sure to keep delivering us all the vending-machine goodies we demand. So go ahead and kick that failing hegemony harder!”
You know, I think that might be turn out to be the most concise theory yet to explain the entire self-goal of the Ukraine war. “Kick our dying hegemony! Kick it harder! It has to keep giving us goodies, dammit! Build airfields out of vines and coconuts for F-16’s to land on, bringing us Progress’ goodies!” At this point, I’m just happy that our clueless élites are kicking the whole rotten edifice down on their own, whatever mythology they may happen to be using to justify their tantrum of creative destruction.

Date: 2023-06-16 07:35 pm (UTC)I am thinking that people who lost homes in fires, especially if those fires appear to have anomalous features, might begin to investigate, and create the same kind of underground "outcry" if only to begin to make some sense of what happened to them.
That is what I will be keeping an ear out from here on in. What are people saying about what they themselves have suffered.
