Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 147

you're earlyWe 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.

Trump as dowsing road. So very true! I have seen the spittle flying from the Bad Orange Man-deranged. A lot of people I know, they're like windup vomit dolls, you just whisper the word "Trump," and STAND BACK! They start spewing credo.

I used to find this very disturbing. Now I just avoid mentioning Trump, and if someone else does, quick, I get out of there.

I'm US citizen who plans to vote for Kennedy, by the way.

Boccaccio, I see the same. It is oftentimes very eerie to me.

My conclusion at present is that what will bridge the gap isn't going to be so much something I said-- although perhaps it could be-- but their willingness to start asking questions, rather than simply swallowing what they're told by the mainstream media. And that's up to them. Once a person starts asking questions, everything changes. And that's precisely why many people do not want to ask questions.

The worst example I ever witnessed was an inveterate old covidiot, rightly upset that his adult son had been injured in a hit-and-run accident. He was instantly convinced that the driver, still unidentified, simply had to be a Trump voter.

You can't fix stupid. Just slowly back away....

I have an old gas stove that still has a pilot light, and yesterday I tried putting beans with some natto starter just sitting untended in the stove for a day. Today it was slimy and had a bit of an ammonia smell, but not too strongly. Assuming that is what I'm supposed to get, it appears it worked.

Thank you for getting me started.

The pregnant lady actually won her case. However, even more concerning was the video about a year later (about 6 months ago) of child services and the police raiding her house and taking all her kids - including her new baby which she was breastfeeding at the time. They pretty much pulled the baby out of her arms as she screamed. Pretty distressing stuff.

No follow up so I don't know what happened after that and everything would be sealed. Her lawyer would probably also have advised her not to talk on social media since what she said might have gone against her. However, seems like probably pretty vicious payback. You have to do alot for child services to take away children as a surprise first step in this country. Like they'll counsel physical abusers as long as it's not 'serious'.

What was she thinking? Investigating officially-sanctioned crimes? Her job was always to investigate NOT officially-sanctioned crimes, those committed by people who are NOT officials.

Sheesh!

"Sorry, but this is too little, too late. The egregious governmental and media overreach into individual liberties during 2020 has forever changed the American psyche. If the NYTimes had any backbone, it would've been publishing independent op-eds YEARS ago--not 4 years after the fact. Cry and gnash your teeth all you want, but your Trump Derangement Syndrome was nothing more than an emotional overreaction, it was unreasonable, and it SHOWED. It's not that you can't make mistakes, it's that when you do, you cling with arrogance, belittlement, and unearned faux intellectual superiority to other EDUCATED but less sheep-inclined Americans. This article states the obvious. I simply can't give handclaps. This is the pointing of a rusty weathervane of codependency."

Time from conspiracy theory to MSM; about 3 years now.

Well well well

Looks like they've decided that Fauci is going to be the scapegoat for the lies, deceit and psycopathy that has gone on over the past 4 years or so.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/under-oath-fauci-must-answer-these-questions

Couldn't happen to a more deserving person, if you ask me though.

The real delusion, is they think they can do this all over again with another disease and another "vaccine". Maybe they can with the city dwellers but I think way too many people have learned from their tactics.
