The cats: Ash is the gray guy and Shadow is the black with bow tie. Ash is my mellow lounger while Shadow continues to be ten pounds of kitten energy in a five pound bag... I'm just glad they get along!

Date: 2021-12-09 04:40 pm (UTC)Second. I kind of have the same idea about the fox outcomes that you have. I understand the idea that the foxed could/will have very high causaliies. That actually makes ‘ logical’ sense to me but for the life of me I can not see that as actually happening. It is just such a huge and frightening idea. What I want which is just pure fantasy is for people to come to there senses about the whole business.

Date: 2021-12-09 06:14 pm (UTC)I meant to email you -- I'm putting the commercial space for the library on hold, not taking any more donations, because I am collapsing my Studio, vacating my commercial space now that I have served the entire lease, and I will be teaching for the foreseeable future out of my home and my parents' home. I did look into getting a commercial space. Prices are far too (artificially) inflated.
That said, the Athena Reader's Club online is still going strong. A book shipment is coming your way soon.
I see lots of signs the vaccinated are in big trouble already. Anyone who is paying the slightest attention to "alternative" media such as Rumble, Bitchute, Minds, Telegram, etc. can immediately see what the mainstream media is extremely desperate to cover up. Yesterday there was another big uptick in ambulances during my commute. And then there is pesky old VAERS, which only reflects maybe 1% of the harm and death that is going down. The vax-injured are immediately gaslighted by their doctors and all of those still under the spell of the Narrative, which is most people in my area of Chicagoland.
My Ogham have predicted Vaxpocalypse and I have predicted that what I am seeing right now continues unabated, which means about 10% of the vaxxed have a complication which may be as "minor" as chronic fatigue but which also could be severe like myocarditis or death within a few months of getting the shot. Of course anyone who does the boosters ups their chance of getting hit with adverse side effects: the booster is reportedly the same shot as the original. The likely outcome is somewhere in the middle. If "somewhere in the middle" comes to pass, we will see politicians and doctors heads on pikes. I can easily see people burning down hospitals out of anger. To some degree I see the scales coming off some people's eyes and anger replacing fear. It is NOT a good time to be anywhere near allopathic medicine as a career in the next ten years. Any medic who doesn't come off as a snow-driven angel will be in the unenviable position of "convenient scapegoat".
Cute!

Date: 2021-12-09 10:33 pm (UTC)I posted about this on JMG's thread, how my husband and I both got the coof. He probably brought it home from his (masked, vaccinated) students, and gave it to me.
He got sick late last week, and developed a sinus infection that led him to go to the walk-in clinic for antibiotics. Of course they test everyone for you know what, and sure enough - positive. I started getting sick on Sunday, and did a home test Monday evening - positive.
We both felt crummy for a few days (hubby a bit worse than me), with fatigue, chills, muscle aches, low-grade fever, dry cough. About as bad as a mild flu, and we've definitely had significantly worse bouts of flu in the past. I started feeling better yesterday, and today (Thursday), I feel completely fine, save for a little lingering tiredness and a sense of smell and taste that isn't quite all the way back. Hubby is still coughing a bit, but also well on the mend. We both treated ourselves with herbal supplements, vitamins, and zinc, in addition to the antibiotics hubby needed for the sinus infection. We're both middle aged but healthy with no comorbidities, and not jabbed.
I'm sure that this virus can, like any cold or flue virus, be much worse for people who have underling age and health issues. But right now, I'm sitting here sort of dumbfounded....this is it? This was the plague that shut down the world? I had a mild flu for all of 3 days, my husband, eh, maybe you could call it a moderate flu, for a bit longer, but absolutely not even as bad as seasonal flu can be. I even attended a work meeting on Monday on Zoom and apologized for having "a bug" that caused me to blow my nose on camera and cough a bit when I talked. (I thought about telling them that I had coof, but that would have led to awkward questions and I didn't feel like discussing my medical history with a bunch of random people in a work meeting. And who knows, they might have all gotten really alarmed and tried to tell me to go to the hospital or something.)
I feel like I'm crazy. I mean, I knew intellectually that the official narrative didn't add up, but having just caught and kicked the coof with couch-rest and herbs in under four days (while still getting some work done from home), I'm kind of dumbfounded. Am I the only one who thinks the virus has no clothes? How did we get here?
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm surrounded by a lot of PMC true believers - and even my working-class associates seem spooked by the whole thing. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the crazy one.

Date: 2021-12-10 04:33 am (UTC)My husband is type 2 diabetic. His started with a cough and sniffles and turned into body aches, mild fever, very bad congestion, coughing, hacking. For me, it was a mild cold that turned into feeling tired and being very congested for 4 days. Luckily I was sick on a three day weekend. The fourth day I took off. I was easily able to control it with one dose of Nyquil on the worst night and one Alleve pill the next. Other than that, I made and ate lots of soup, drank juice, water, and tea, took white willow and other herbs, and sat in the steamy bathtub every night. I have had pneumonia three times following horrible colds and this one was nowhere near as serious. It was a cakewalk compared to the flus I used to suffer in college when I let myself get really run down. I'm almost 50.
If anything, the Covid debacle has shown us how little allopaths know about the human body. For one, digestion comprises 70 percent of immunity. Solve digestive issues and immunity issues usually follow suit. Another often ignored point: ALWAYS err on the side of conservatism with health. Experimental injections for a flu that kills less than one percent? That's like getting double D breast implants because a passing stranger muttered that your breasts are too small. Overkill. Overreaction is nothing new in allopathic medicine though -- they think nothing of carving up people's eyeballs so they don't have to wear glasses (Lasik) or permanently mutilating the stomach of an obese person so they can be skinny (stomach stapling). For a bunch of asshats who are so afraid of death, they truly are gullible to the nature of the clot shot. From what I can discern, there is about a 2% or one out of every fifty chance of dying right away from the vaxx, and from the looks of things, about a 10% chance of having permanent fatigue or debility.
The PMC are insane and demon-obsessed. Some of them are just beginning to snap out of it. I hear a little more encouragement in my Speakeasy groups every day. People not wearing masks in stores, mandates being overturned, low approval ratings for the criminals pushing the narrative. The interesting part will be when the vaxxers who didn't go completely nutzoid wake up and realize how badly they've been had. Many of these will be saddled with or caring for those with permanent vaccine injuries. The tables are beginning to turn and the aftermath of the vaccines is a great deal clearer.

Date: 2021-12-10 02:30 pm (UTC)I really appreciate the C.S. Lewis quote floating around about the tyranny of good intentions. She truly believes her actions are keeping her staff and everyone we serve safe.
Re: die hards
Date: 2021-12-10 05:56 pm (UTC)The mask is a superstitious symbol for the PMC. Though they don't realize it, wearing it not only (virtue) signals their tribal allegiance to their class, it gives them the illusion they are protected from the decay of Progress and its perks. They have no connection to their own inner selves. They have erected a wall of dissonance that manifests as mask and vax paranoia. Though I could never know for sure as I am not a god of karma, I believe they are going to spend one or more future lifetimes in dire, abject working poverty of the same sort they ignored as they chased plush office existences with N-95s behind steel doors.

Date: 2021-12-13 07:46 pm (UTC)She, too, thinks that the vax-or-test and masked-at-all-times policies for staff and the people we serve are absolutely critical to keeping everyone "safe". She and the board are all united in the same "we're in the middle of a deadly pandemic and have to strictly obey all the rules to keep everyone saaaafe - why doesn't absolutely everyone agree with us?!!" kind of thinking. They are loosing clients left right and sideways, but think it's because people don't feel sufficiently "safe" to come back, and not because, oh, I dunno, maybe people don't want to submit to medical tyranny to receive services. Go figure.
Given your "people we serve" language I'm guessing that you, too, work for either a nonprofit or a government entity?

Date: 2021-12-11 12:26 am (UTC)When it's hot out, I like to take silken firm tofu, rinse it off, slice it, sprinkle with green onions and then just eat it plain and cold with a side of cooked rice. Chunks can be dipped into a mixture of wasabi and soy sauce or sweetened soy sauce.

Date: 2021-12-12 03:54 pm (UTC)Could Washington State be the first to follow the model of the worst of Europe and Australia? The governor just parroted the "Everyone will either have recovered from covid, be vaccniated, or be dead" threat that made the rounds earlier. Not aware of any other governor who has taken the rhetoric that far.

Date: 2021-12-13 02:56 pm (UTC)My family is 100% supportive of my decision not to get vaccinated. There is no shunning, and they all came to our house for Thanksgiving and stayed here with us (including my brother and sister-in-law flying across the country). I am so grateful for that. My family, but especially my dad, lean libertarian, want the government to stay out of their business, etc., yet all have been vaccinated. Everyone except my mom has also been boosted, even though they are all healthy, relatively slim, and my siblings are only in their 30s. My parents and sister live in a red state. My brother and his wife are military. They are not Branch Covidians. I learned after Thanksgiving that my brother has had a hard time focusing recently (of course, he doesn't tie it to the booster). Then this weekend my mom told me that the reason she's hesitating about the booster--in addition to all the scary articles I send her--is that after her second shot she kept waking up at night with her heart racing. She goes on to tell me that my father's arthritis flared up immediately after his booster and that he's had a pain around his heart as well. He even tied it to the booster but so far has refused going to the doctor because he doesn't think the doctor will believe him if he says it's from the booster. I, of course, kind of freaked out and strongly, strongly encouraged my mom to take him and to request a d-dimer test. I think (hope?) he will go this week.
I know that I have to respect their choices, just as they have respected mine. I provided my rationale and they all know that I'm the "researcher" in the family. I can't, or shouldn't, harass them into taking or declining a medical procedure. But it's also hard not to feel guilty. Like, if I had sent them one more article, or argued more forcibly, maybe they would have refrained. It's such a tough situation. Ugh!
