Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 102

[ecosophia]

As we near the end of 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.

"At that point, I felt my "higher self/higher guide" message that this was now the time for me to tread the middle and to work to serve the balance. That I was not to buy into hatred or fear or worst case scenario and this was how I was going to come through the next few years. I got a sense at that time, that the intensity surrounding the aftermath of the election was just the beginning."

I had a very similar experience.

I too found the response to Trump's election to be downright chilling. I have never had a high opinion of Donald Trump - I grew up in New York, so Trump was in the local news and on my radar long before he went national, and I was never a fan - but the way people on the left responded to his election was, imo, far more appalling than The Donald himself ever was.

But it was right around the 2016 election that I started getting divination readings telling me to "find the balance" and promote harmony. And I kept getting those same readings when the whole covid debacle started.

I too have been trying to "tread the middle," not by accommodating authoritarian bullies, but by trying to be understanding of how so many people seemed to be caught in a spell, and by trying to build support and connections with people pushing back against forces of hatred and vitriol. I don't always do a good job, but I try.
