Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 179

[ecosophia]

We are now in the fourth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary more than three years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health are anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; public health authorities government shills for the pharmaceutical industry are still trying to push through laws that will allow them to force vaccinations on anyone they want; public trust in science is collapsing; and the story continues to unfold.

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 and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. 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 wholly owned 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 plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.

5. 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. 

6. Please don't just post bare links without explanation. A sentence or two telling readers what's on the other side of the link is a reasonable courtesy, and if you don't include it, your attempted post will be deleted.

Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

The truly demonic don't change their minds; they simply change their strategies. Their minds remain fixedly obsessed with imposing their demonic vision upon the world, one tortured and overburdened soul at a time. After all, no healthy balanced soul would ever allow a demon to take up residency, so demons have to go out of their way to mistreat everyone, in the hopes of getting others, in their desperation, to invite demons inside themselves too. Wait a minute! Does that sound like Facebook?

As in, does that sound exactly like Facebook's model of getting its users addicted to virtual attention hits, while doing nothing to discourage cruelty and hate campaigns on its platform? Once its captive addicts get attacked, only half manage to walk away, having learned an important lesson. The other half, in the desperate hope of regaining those lost likes, will turn to any energy pattern whispering promises of superhuman powers into their ears. Kinda sounds like the ideal demon reproduction model, doesn't it?

Every time a demon speaks, some amount of untruth is hidden in that utterance. They are simply unable to say a complete truth. Zuckerberg managed to make his company's motto a lie by slipping in a "don't" to distract everyone from his actual goal. He also lied about always doing "independent fact checking" while he was only cancelling people who were telling the truth. Now Zuckerberg is lying about what his motives were, how he was only following the government's orders, and how he really didn't want to and will never do it again. Doesn't that sound like a defense he could easily have cribbed from the Nuremberg trials?

If the best that your supposedly rehabilitated self can come up with is the mimicking of Nazis, you can be quite certain that you are some kind of a twisted sicko. While Zuckerberg will surely continue trying to “be evil”, I think he may well have lost his platform — he’s obviously afraid that he might. Perhaps it is now that we should take a moment of prayer for the greater good, and offer our heartfelt thanks for the abundance of blessings now pouring in all around us.
