Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 194
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; 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.
Re: St. Malachy’s Prophecy
It would fit in the pattern of the church not taking responsability for any wrongdoing. The many abuse scandals are testament to it. I think the worst about the abuse scandals is the gaslighting and protection of the perpetrators. Not speaking out about the vax would be just another example.
I thought about the Malachy prophesies. In a Sprengerian sense one could argue that Francis already was the last pope of the church of God. He was instrumental in kickstarting the Second Religiosity. Where Benedict tried to get spirituality back in the chuch by allowing the Latin mass again, Francis shut that door again and showed disrespect to Benedict at his funeral. I've remarked to a friend that Francis struck me more like a social worker than a religious leader. He appointed a mass of progressive cardinals too so his successor will no doubt continue the Second Religiosity.
PS There is another way in which the prophecy could come true. If the vax scandal finally breaks, the outrage could also include the gaslighting religious leaders. That backlash could severely hurt the catholic church. In the Netherlands Christianity is rising amongst young people, but it is mainly protestantism. This trend could be reinforced if the church of Rome is found to be perpetrating and covering up another scandal that this time hurt millions.

Babylon Bee did a story on that back when Pope Benedict/Ratzinger died in 2022 - Pope Francis Announces Passing Of Final Catholic Pope.
