would love to have a beer with you!!! such an amazing SS. Yes the hospitals are not full with respiratory illnesses they're filled with all sorts or weird and wonderful autoimmune illnesses and strange cancers. yes there is a pandemic now but it's a pandemic of the suddenly.

PS. I can attest to German Internet being third world. I have 2 sim cards in my phone so I can switch between networks if i accidentally walk behind a tree.

Technically that would not be Internet, but cell service, right?

Count yourself lucky – where I live there is no cell service.

Perhaps you're lucky to live in an area where there is no cell service. Technology is convenient, for sure, but it can be nice to be away from all the BS.

The German press is about to have a much larger story in frozen Germans.

Wouldn’t be the first time Germany decided to fuck around with Russia and freeze by the thousands for the trouble….

Riaan, you’re being trolled. This individual knows exactly what you were alluding too all along. Don’t fall for it. And even if this individual is as clueless as they claim, it is as you rightly say, their own responsibility to be curious and investigate a “truth.” The whole, ‘pass me a citation’ thing when one speaks of general knowledge is how some, bizarrely, attempt to claim intellectual superiority over the individual that can’t rapidly produce a citation. As if asking for a citation is a signal that they have done research, or are very discriminating in what sources they trust to believe outright.

I generally believe that no source should be trusted outright, but I also don’t hide behind someone’s inability to do my research for me as a sign of intellect.

After someone has been well indoctrinated by many years of television programming, it is easy to understand that they are easy to trigger with keywords and have vast experience with fomenting an entire scenario from a few of them.

It is a fool's game to assume that someone whose last television was stolen in 1987 would be as susceptible to keywords as someone who owns and watches a smartphone and a flat panel television more hours than they sleep.

Frozen Germans in Stalingrad happened before global warming .

That is made easier by global warming being a myth created by scientists whose paychecks depend on them not understanding the importance of the truth.

Worry about frozen Germans is not an issue, most of the Germans bought a stove by now and have 8 hundred million left over masks to burn for heat .The fun part will start finding a solution about all that smoke .Most buildings don't have chimney ,so there will be stove pipes out the windows throughout the cities .It will remind us of Stalin Grad .

This was an issue with the old wood gasification engines. Germans were running generators converted to run off wood gas, but lacked proper ventilation. Lots of carbon monoxide poisonings. Ended up making wood gas generators become obsolete…well one of the reasons.

Expand full comment

Wood gas engines where used in Germany at the end of the war and shortly after .They where called HOLZ VERGASER on trucks and in the trunk of cars . I know all about it because as a kid I rode in the back of a truck that had a wood gaser .

Yesterday I had an appointment with a bone specialist in a hospital and came out of there depressed ,mad and mentally damaged . I was only in for about 2 hours ,because of a broken shoulder bone .The masking in there is not only keeping evil spirits away but any one with a bit of sanity left over, from almost three years of insanity .Hospitals are about the worst place one can enter ,besides prisons .I believe if I would go there with anything flu I would not come out alive . My brother did go in there with what he thought was a flu and was dead after 6 days of treatment with remdesivir .ventilators and heavy sedation .I did not know that he went there because we live 800 km.apart and no one told me what went on there ,only after his death when it was too late .I would have done every thing to keep him out of that killing place .I would never go there with any thing flu or cold ,one gets taken prisoner sedated and killed for a large pay off to the hospital .

Stalingrad happened in Germany?

No the old Stalingrad happened in Stalingrad ,but the new Stalingrad will soon happen in Germany . After that the whole world may be Stalingrad .

If that is considered a likelihood, it would be wise to invest in Stalin statue futures.

Which, like the hospital "crisis", is a largely self-inflicted one as well.

Definition of insanity on an infinite loop.

Actually, it's very clever.

Think about it this way: the C0VID scam makes money for the MSM's benefactors, Big Pharma. Big Pharma then transfers that money to the MSM.

The people in the hospitals continue to be "heroes," and have enough time to make Tik Tok dance videos. Lots of people die for various reasons because they're not getting treated; many of those are elderly, so they're on the government payroll. If they die, it's a bonus for the government.

The government also gets to play (pardon the expression) Hitler by controlling every single thing that people do; what they put into their bodies, when they leave their house, who works, who does not work and so on. They have completely control, and they like that.

So really, it's quite clever. Bring in tyranny under the guise of safety. A stab in the back while in the embrace of a warm hug.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.… To be ‘cured’ against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

I agree with his sentiment up to the point of addicts living under a tarp and defecating on the street. Welcome to Portland.

Point taken, but don’t you think Portland’s policies are the very definition of “a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims” and thus are responsible for producing the very results you are describing?

Indeed, it's a truly bizarre and Orwellian mix of tyranny on the one hand, and crippling by enabling and infantilizing on the other.

Or Seattle or San Fransicko or any other city that drank the exact same koolaid.

It's called government love . My brother experienced that love ,when he went to the hospital ,thinking he had a flu .He was dead after 6 days in there ,next day he was cremated . Every hospital is a little Auschwitz .

"Germany has descended into some kind of purgatorial alternate reality, where it’s always March 2020"

What do you suppose will be the narrative if Germany runs out of natural gas this winter and people start dying from exposure to the cold?

Covid is the gift that keeps on giving.

Expand full comment

When people start dying from exposure, well, they simply won't report it.

And we all know, if the MSM didn't report it, it didn't happen.

Expand full comment

If they report it, they'll blame it on Covid.

Expand full comment

Or climate change

Pleas don't blame anything on Covid . My dogs name is Covid and he does not bite .

Expand full comment

After you died from exposure you can't report it anymore . You must make your report before you die .

Expand full comment

I can tell you what the narrative will be: we ran out of natural gas because THE UNDISCIPLINED people (most likely right-wing, climate-change-denying, transphobic unvaccinated white people) did not show enough solidarity and therefore did not save energy, and this is why we are in this dismal situation.

I don't know what level in Dante's Purgatory we are in exactly- but there appears to be a new one. It's hospitals and "health officials" restricting basic hospital functions while collecting huge government bail outs. These restrictions limit necessary operations, treatment and screening that saves lives, permanently limiting lifespans. I had a really nasty cancer in May of this year, and getting into the hospital for my operation with a specialist was one of the most challenging parts of the story. It's hard to describe the absolute disconnect of your fight between life and death and the absolute disregard for life and death that you see up close in the hospital. I don't think my "reality" will ever be the same again.

I'm sorry for your situation BUT you'd be better off staying away from "hospitals" completely. Who have they ever cured? They make you sicker and you suffer to a higher degree going through their bullshit.

It’s literally just an exercise in maximizing profit. They used to at least be motivated to extend lifespan because it equaled so many more drugs, diagnostics, and procedures -- but now they have figured out how to cash in more via dead patients.
