Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 153

[ecosophia]

We are now winding up 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.

Humming and Immunity

[(Anonymous)]

Dear Mr Greer

Dr Philip Mcmillan has done a you tube video on how humming can decrease the chances of getting a covid infections by increasing the amount of Nitric oxide in the sinuses. At first I thought this sounded like a really weird oculi thing, but a quick look at google was enough to find that there is science behind this. Dr McMillan is pretty sure that Gert Vanden Bossche may be right and that the simple act of humming may help in a Gert scenario. I have noted the hypothesis you have put up and suspect that humming could also help in a John Micheal Greer scenario. Given what may be about to happen I have decided that as soon as I leave the tube station on the way to work I will be humming a few tunes to reduce the chances of infection. The way that you vibrate the names of gods in your occult practice could help you to reduce your chances of infection. This also points at the importance of breathing through your nose. Here are some links below.

the lonely path of the last few years has led me to not only chat with store clerks like we're meeting up at a class reunion but also to sing and hum as I walk my daily routes. I make up outlandish songs which I consider turning into poems but they seem ridiculous and my humming is both sing-song nursery rhymish and 'top 40' songs from youth. I haven't considered addressing god(s) but you have just given me the idea of 'plea' or 'prayer.' .

I had no idea this was medically useful. Amazing.

All true!
And Whatch ya got to lose?
And doesn't cost a cent!

Let us bring down industrial medicine and all its associated con-men by simply whistling a tune, singing a tune, humming a tune, smiling and saying firmly "no thanks".

"Not buying what you are selling"

Oh and while we r doing all this music making i think we oughta be planting and spreading seeds. Nut trees top of list. But all kinds really :-)

Hmm! (So to speak.)

I wonder if that's also one of the fringe benefits of "vibration," the peculiar method of chanting divine names and words of power practiced in ceremonial magic. You learn how to do it by finding a tone and way of chanting that produces a buzzing or humming sensation in your body. If I understand the links you've given, that might have a similar effect to humming.

Humming and chanting in vibratory modality has always made me feel energetic (and gets rid of the ocasional headache) so this is good to hear

I know it's a bit different, but one of the reasons I balked at wearing the mask initially is because it prevented me from whistling. Here's to smiles and happy sounds!
