ecosophia | Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 147

We 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.

I just read the article posted above from Hawaiian Druid. I appreciate that article. Well-written, humorous and spot on.

I have always avoided large groups. The volume of energy in a crowd makes me feel like hiding. The craziness out there currently seems to go to 11. Masks inside. Driving like maniacs. So.Many. Flags.

In my corner of the world (north of Atlanta) people seem oblivious to collapsing systems. Vacations are taken regularly. New cars and properties and shiny things are all the rage. I retreat to my garden and take solace in the magic of a seed growing into a plant growing and producing fruit and vegetables.

During a recent social situation someone started on one of the issues du jour. My skin got prickly and I focused on talking about the potatoes I was cooking. Can't say too much about smashed red potatoes roasted in the oven now can you?

I have encountered many people with new medical problems like turbo cancer, exploding intestines, mystery illnesses that required time in the ER that were all blamed on bug bites (three of these).

Today, for no reason, I started to panic. Sometimes it hits me hard and general panic and agitation set in. I cannot pinpoint the reason. This is a new experience since the Covid shenanigans started. I feel like I am being hunted and my hiding places are diminishing by the minute.

Daily prayer and meditation help. Asking for protection and setting the intention to be love and light are also helpful. Sometimes my light is not as shiny as I would like it to be.

Thank ya'll for being here.

Hi Rooby,
I recommend you get a copy of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. I think Marcus will be a big help to you. I know he always has the right thing to say to me.

Thank you.

I gave some leftist kneejerk political analysis once upon a time to a fellow who (in retrospect) moved with profound gravitas and smiled easily.
He gave me a photocopy of a Marcus Aurelius meditation.
