Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 139

baffledWe are now in the third year of these open posts. As the phrase "died suddenly" repeats in the mass media like a mantra, statistics for work days lost to illness and all-cause mortality mount up in heavily vaccinated nations, and more and more ugly facts about the official response to Covid spill out into public, we are entering what may well turn out to be the most difficult period of the Covid disaster -- the phase in which denial rises in lockstep with the death rate, and a great many people try not to admit what has been done to them by the people and institutions they trusted. It could get ugly, folks.

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.

Erika I've never been in the situatiion you're in and I respect how you are 'all in' with love and committment.
I have (and am) been a parent (lousy at times) and I do know exhaustion and care and devoted dedication.
What madness it seems you are up against i.e. the system.
Best,best, best wishes!

I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this everyone. Thank you for sharing.

I certainly think fear and the wish to stay in the community group are very powerful motivators. I just thought my religious friends would be better at resisting. And that more people in my life would use critical thinking before getting their kids fixed. Alas, no.

Well, “transhuman spirits” are a bit of a reach… at least without ruling out the mundane possibilities. My first thought was, because I live in Ohio with its long history of both religious movements and hucksterism, that your friend is lining up to go full huckster with some revelation followed by the usual UFO cult procedure. But… he is a member of the PMC trying to push a creative project now running contrary to PMC conventional wisdom – that is, AIs, now that they threaten PMC jobs, are bad. So – pretending the wolf at the door is a cuddly puppy sets up the poor fellow for some serious cognitive dissonance. Add the small but important fact that the PMC by definition cannot be creative since that would be an act contrary to their role as servitors of the elite on top of the usual strains of maintaining a career path in a down-trending economy, and the resulting combination of cognitive dissonance and anxiety is overwhelming. Without other data, the aspiring Savior of the AI People has driven himself to madness by staking out an untenable position and trying to defend it with wishing-makes-it-so logic.

This more or less tracks with what I'm seeing and what the all-cause death rates seem to suggest.

People around me seem to be dying at a faster clip, and it seems to me to be noticeable and yet not quite dramatic enough to really raise alarms. There definitely seem to be more fatal heart attacks and strokes than there used to be, but the increase is moderate and mostly among older people with co-morbidities. (From what I've seen, it seems like people whose heart attacks wouldn't be too surprising given age/health are all having massive fatal hearth attacks instead of survivable ones, while the number of people having chest pain and going to the hospital and recovering seems to have declined to the point of non-existent. It's like heart attacks have gotten worse?) There have been a few shocking deaths (by blood clot or heart attack) in the last few years among younger people in my wider circle, which were attributed to "just one of those freak things" - but again, not enough to really catch people's attention. One healthy middle-aged person I knew died in his sleep for no apparent reason - but just the one that I've heard of. Cancer diagnoses, both new and recurring, also seem to have modestly increased.

From what I've seen of all-cause mortality data, it's a similar story - death rates are going up, but at a modest pace. And it's hard to figure out how much is due to an aging population and how much due to something else. Nobody in the mainstream media seems to want to investigate the data, of course.

The other thing I was forced to remember during the last few years was that a majority of people around me watch corporate news and actually believe that it's there to inform them. That's why they were so terrified.

If you live outside that bubble, it's easy to assume that more people understand that the purpose of mainstream news is to make money, and that the "news" is influenced by one, the need to attract viewers with exciting stories, two, the need to keep advertisement revenue flowing and the resulting pressures from advertisers, and three, the need to stay in the good graces of elected officials and other authorities in order to maintain "access" to sources. If you see the "news" and know that they will breathlessly exaggerate stories to make people watch, observe that over half of the TV ads during the commercial breaks are for pharmaceutical products, and know that reporters who say the wrong thing get banned from press conferences and other sources of info, you logically deduce which masters the "news" is serving, and don't take it too seriously. Especially not when it contradicts what you're seeing with your own eyes and discovering by "doing your own research" (which most of the time is really just "doing your own journalism").

But most people don't think that way (as I've discovered). Most people watch TV news, and read mainstream sources, and actually think that they are being informed rather than manipulated. Imagine how scared you would have been if, instead of trusting your own experience ("huh, almost nobody I know is dying of covid...) and looking at death statistics yourself ("hmm, these numbers say hardly anybody under 70 is dying, and most deaths are in long-term care facilities...") and reading alternative accounts (including whistleblowers) with an open mind, and putting these things together and concluding that the whole thing was hyped-up hysteria - instead of that, imagine actually believing what you saw on TV and in the NY Times! If you actually thought that the TV was telling you the truth, how could you NOT be terrified?

One of the things I had to re-learn during the cooties hysteria was how many people will trust an authoritative source over actual experience and even raw data. They truly believe the TV to be more trustworthy than reality. It really IS a kind of vulgar magic, when you think about it.

Funny you use the word 'hypnotized'. I remember sometime in mid-2021 a video of a Scottish stage magician who has used hypnosis to get members of his audience do outrageous things on stage for decades. And when he saw the visual imagery (colours, patterns, etc.) of the advertisements widely distributed by the British health authority (NHS) they closely match posters which he has used to hypnotize the public to attend his shows. He was 100% convinced that the government was deliberately hypnotizing the public. I can't remember his name or trace the video at this point, but I do remember it vividly. Ever since then I have considered hypnosis to be one of the more viable explanations regarding the process in which such a large swath of the population lost their sanity - they all might as well have been clucking and flapping their arms like chickens on a stage (some still do, apparently).

The Kunstler post specifically refers to antivirals, and it is possible to find much earlier references to GVB. https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/this-is-not-an-april-fools-gag/

Unless they are referring to another anti-viral but the link above is extremely clear on what is being indicated.

I am afraid you missed what he is saying. He is arguing that the virus is guaranteed to mutate to a form that will cause the tsunami (of death), and it will make the concern about adverse effects insignificant in comparison.

But I still have my thumb firmly stuck under (as in - bearing UP) the side of the scale you and James find yourselves on, with another thumb firmly bearing down on whatever forces are ranged against you in the other side of the scale.

May love and stubborn cussedness prevail.

They're doing this BECAUSE I'm distracted with James. Just when you think you're TOO cynical...ha!

They knock on my door at 530 am now instead of 730am.

Thanks for the thumb, dear Scotlyn!

Do you remember how TV ‘news’ shows (aka pop-psyop-props) blared FEAR and graphed DANGER and counted up DEATHS and CASES – without ever providing a context for comparison. Like, in the same time period:
–-Number of traffic accident deaths –-
–-Number of murders, by city
–-Number of cases of fentanyl deaths
–-Number of children dying of starvation, stinking bad dirty water, diarrhea and malaria
–-Number of deaths by flu the year before or before that
–-Proportion of the total population
–-Age or morbidity of ones who perished

Oh Noooo! Nothing like THAT could be allowed!
it might disrupt THE MESSAGE, might dispell the MOOD, make utterly laughable the pumped up ramped up, jammed up the gut push for FEAR FEAR FEAR.

I am, to this day, appalled and frightened by the changes this mind assault made on people I know to be more intelligent than me and used to trust. Mob formation, deafness to reason, rejection of contrary evidence, wrath at any sign of dubious distrust of THE AUTHORITY.

If there was no superhuman or subhuman influx generating this change, then I must conclude it is entirely human for people to go massively, collectively insane for no good reason. An emotional disorder of the mass middle mind, deliberately seeded and cultured by hyenas and vultures who stood to gain money, land, power, political leverage by inducing the disorder in a multitude.

The mass of US citizens and most of the industrial / colonizer culture must have suppressed knowledge of oil depletion, subconscious fear of imminent decline, and repressed guilt for the harms done to millions of others, such as Native Americans, banana republics, slavery and race hatreds all of which profitted the middle classes enormously.

All of the urgency that ought to have been poured out on governments in the 1970s to cut back on consumption, give up cars, use trains, embrace greater poverty and gain richer lives from engaging with the earth in healthful ways – all that buried force was expended on pressuring your social circle to take the SHOT the SHOT that would FIX EVERYTHING Forever!

Well. The I Ching talks about how the Change of Earth on top of Earth allows evil to succeed completely, yet at the same moment, plants the seed of its own downfall.

Having blown off a big reserve of psychic energy kept under the salt dome of willful blindness to facts, the perps of this painful farce may find that there is no more gusher to count on down there. They just may have drilled down with the fear-bit so deep that they will never again get the power to move the masses into their tanks and information silos.

They may learn that mass movements, once loosed from confinement, can turn and sway and swell in unpredictable ways. Like the oceans under the winds of reality.

The abstraction of abstracted abstractions represented by their Artificial Brainless Stupidity data blobs, engineered by unreal manips of mediality is likely to go Frankie on them. The monster composed of sewn-together dead parts and animated by captured lightning may fail to follow their orders and serve as their obedient slave.

As may the rest of us, bearing a will towards restored and restoring humanity.

Sadhguru's Jaggi Vasudev, an Indian mystic and yogi, hypotheses at the beginning of the pandemic was an increased solar activity in the form of solar flares and such. He didn't tackle the scientific side, just that he could feel something off and that it would be peaking last half 2023 first half 2024. He issued his book Death a few weeks before the pandemic and said wars would happen. He seems to have been right on that. The only thing he said that hasn't happened and I hope it doesn't happen is that something worse than the pandemic would come but he didn't specify so it might be the current wars going on and the possible escalation of the one in Ukraine --or one of his exaggerations to get people do more sadhana. Something to explain the madness, to me it seems like a global scale madness of crowds. We've done really weird things with our minds before like the dancing plague of 1518 were 400 people couldn't stop dancing for weeks or the witch trials.

The term "mass die off" could use some clarification imho. How long would it take to halve a population suffering a sustained 10% excess death rate? What if live births declined at the same rate? Not as long as one might think.

I would add to that, "and then forgiving themselves." I suspect that a lot of people can't get past that part, if they accepted that they were duped, they'd just beat themselves up with sh#t self-talk until Kingdom Come, and that is a big reason, maybe the biggest reason why they don't want to face things.

My take also.

And by the way-- I will say, though, that the first time I watched an AI video (witout knowing that it was an AI video) my strong impression was that the speaker was channeling an entity because it looked like a normal person, it sounded like a normal voice, but I perceived very clearly that there was something nonhuman about it. Then I found out that it was AI generated. I did not perceive an actual entity, however. If that makes sense.

Dear Erika:

I don’t know the answer to your question; I’m sorry. Maybe quietly ask a helpful nurse at the hospital? Dr Google?

I wish I could be of more help.

Blessings for you and James

[personal profile] stubborn_ass 2024-04-04 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
FWIW, James being out of the hospital / hospice should be looked upon as a positive. While under your current stressed mental state, we've been taught to send our 'sick' folks to the hospital.. but in the current situation where shedding in highly-vexed areas are through the roof, it becomes a constant assault on his immune system.

I would strongly suggest that you do a mental reset for yourself first. I may not be able to lay out the sequence of thoughts in the right way, but please understand that no offence is meant, and I believe you are capable of the reset, and understand why it's necessary.

1 - In all the commentary here, elsewhere in the alt-space and online, has there been anyone who actually recovered from turbo-cancer using traditional chemo therapy? Really... it doesn't even slow it down. So doing even a bit of chemo, was a fear-induced reaction programmed into most people, urged on by oncologists and very likely made things a lot worse. What's done is done, the point is that we have to stop digging deeper holes for ourselves if we're trying to get back to ground level. Some of the modern diagnostic tests are very useful tools. But when you're able to reduce all the previous tumors using alternative supplements, putting him in the hospital setting and getting chemo was reversing all the good work. You can use the current medical system for where it can be beneficial to you... but really have to take ownership of your own ahd loved ones' health. Even for the diagnostic tests, you can figure out proxies on your own to guage how well your treatments are helping him... e.g. when my mother was deathly sick, she was puking out every meal. Soon it was 2 out of 3 meals.. then 1 out of 3 ... and eventually once a week etc. That's what I mean by using a real life proxy indicator to suss how out how things are going. In the old days, a good doctor would be asking a ton of questions and taking copious notes, to get a sense of how a treatment course is progressing. Now you have to do that on your own.

Know that now that you have his best interests at heart... if the treatments work, fantastic. But if the damage is too extensive to recover from, it's not on you. Understand that you're going to be making a good faith effort and it's what really matters. I fully accepted that my mother would not be able to make it through, and by refusing to send her to the hospital, when all the relatives were going after my wife and brother to put more pressure on me to do so, if my treatments failed, they would blame me. So be it. At least she would have a fighting chance with me.. . but zero with the system, which they didn't understand.

At this point... James is very weak. That means his ability to absorb and process any nutrients and supplements is also compromised. So there is no point in overloading his body by giving both vim and fenben. So pick one... as it stands, my observations is that vim works for 80% of cancers and fenben for the remaining 20%. You play the odds accordingly. When he gets better, giving both would then be a much more useful option.. but at this point, priotisation is much more critical. Also understand how they work... the destroyed cancer cells become waste products flooding the bloodstream, which the liver then needs time to clear. Aka make sure he stays properly hydrated, IV drips with Thiamine (B1) would be 1 reason why I would or want to put someone in a hospital setting if they were not eating or drinking properly. So do not stress out if you can't get the treatment supplementation into him everyday... his body will need time to clear things out too.

1 suggestion is that there's too many signs that his metabolic system has gone a bit haywire from the accumulated shedding exposure. The key way to reset that is using the nicotine patch, 7mg for 6 days. Unless he's somehow unfortunately allergic to nicotine (you can test with a much smaller patch first), this will turn on a lot of the metabolic systems that have been shut down via the spike exposure. This is critical as we need his immune and energy systems to be kickstarted back to life.

There are many fronts that can be fought, gotta pick the most important ones, which will then build bigger bridgeheads for additional supplementation later when he gets better and can handle more stuff. Step by step.

Hope that helps.

"Insane": US Physicians Received Billions From Pharmaceutical And Medical Device Industry, New Research Finds

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68700993

24 year old English-capped female footballer who hasn't been able to play for over a year after getting a stroke. Elite level athlete since young, getting a stroke. Higher profile folks like her can't be fully censored away, like normal folks. But can and will be buried by search engines you use.

I was in the neuro-wards of the top local govt hospital last year.. 1 in 6 beds was a patient in their 20's or 30's. That is definitely not 'normal'... and sure, they're not dead yet, just like the English footballer, so they're not in the mortality stats, but who's looking after them, can they still do any meaningful productive work?

It hasn't caught attention because the average normie just wants NOT to see it. Egon Fisher related a spiritual dream he had, where a person in a crowd literally died suddenly and the crowd just ignored it. He was very angry at the callousness of the crowd.. but that is the situation we are in now. If those normies were actively detoxing from the shots, then yes, I think the health and economic situation can be quite amerliorated. But 90+% are not. As we've seen from accounts here and elsewhere, as someone's health situation deteriorates, the tendency is to go into a deer-in-headlight mode... then rely on the current medical system, the same one that poisoned them, get gaslighted and lost precious time.. and even if they figured out the right therapies to use, the damage done is often too severe to reverse. The search engines are so corrupted now that if they tried to do their own research, there's too much deliberate misinformation placed online and people get confused by all the conflicting "studies", as designed.

Good News Stories of Last Week

(Anonymous) 2024-04-04 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I’d like to share a condensed version of selected ‘wins’ recently discussed by Dr. Mark Trozzi and Ted Kuntz, with some light commentary by yours truly. Full version, including links and video of the discussion are available here: https://drtrozzi.substack.com/p/wins-of-the-week-ep14-with-ted-kuntz

Legal:

1. Dr. Asseem Mahotra announced this that the Finnish government is being sued for human rights violations by introducing a Cooties-19 pass. Dr. Mahotra has been given 2 hours to speak in the Helsinki district court on the safety & efficacy of the Cooties-19 foxes.

2. U.S. Senator Cory Booker, a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, has reintroduced a package of bills geared towards reforming the country’s agriculture sector. One of these bills, the Farm System Reform Act, would mean the end of factory farming and more grass-fed meat. At least some politicians have made the huge intellectual leap from agriculture to food on the table.

3. On March 24, X News posted that X “is proud to help defend dissident Ontario physician Dr. Kulvinder Gill against the government-supported efforts to cancel her speech.” The official statement reads: “X will now fund the rest of Dr. Gill’s [crowdfunding] campaign so that she can pay her $300,000 judgment and her legal bills. Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and a critical defense against totalitarianism in all forms.”

4. An Ontario arbitrator has determined that two hospital workers who were fired for refusing to take the Cooties-19 vixen were terminated unjustly by Humber River Hospital in Toronto after their union challenged the hospital’s actions. Arbitrator Jasbir Parmar ruled that the hospital did not have sufficient grounds to fire the hospital workers. British Columbia and Ontario are now the last remaining Canadian provinces to continue to enforce vixen mandates on health-care workers.

Political:

1. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research is getting grilled on its involvement in a controversial study by David Fisman that the Trudeau government used to justify their Cooties-19 restrictions, including the vixen passport. An order paper filed by a Conservative MP is asking for details on the study conducted by David Fisman and allegations that the study was fraudulent. The CIHR has 45 calendar days to provide a response. Fisman’s fraud is the topic of Regina Watteel’s book – Fisman’s Fraud – The Rise of Canadian Hate Science. The Liberals used this fraudulent study to justify their vixen passports that kept many unfoxed individuals barred from work, travel, and restaurants.

2. The Australian Senate voted to establish a parliamentary inquiry into the nation’s excess deaths, giving the green light to what is possibly the first inquiry of this nature in the world. Good to see, but I’m not holding my breath on this one…

3. After a request by a supporter of the National Citizens Inquiry, a radio station in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Rock 98.5, is running NCI testimonies on the air. This is a surprise victory.

Honk honk! Not good news, but a long overdue update on the trial of Freedom Convoy leaders Chris Barber and Tamara Lich. Their high-profile case on the charges of “mischief” and “counselling mischief”, which began in November last year continued for a few days in March. Lich's defence team argues that the Crown is 'cherry-picking' video evidence in the case. The trial is now on hiatus until August, with currently scheduled dates between August 13 and 23. Who knows if it will end then? Nine months for a “mischief” case – must be a world record (and not one to be proud of).

Oh - but some good news to round things off. Kayla Pollock, the young Ontario mother who was turned into a quadriplegic due to a fox booster and was offered physician-assisted suicide as the only government ‘support’, had a successful GiveSendGo fundraiser (largely thanks to Veterans 4 Freedom) and will soon get a trained helper dog. She has decided to name her dog “Storm”. Kayla has been saying on social media, with a faint smile, “Storm’s a-coming!” Let’s hope it’s a doozie!
