It’s really not hard to envision how with such obsession an accidental release could have happened. In the same breath it is easy to see how someone might decide to move things from the mouse model to the human model. The IRL model.

“Leave well enough alone” just doesn’t apply to such people. You can see this in the megalomaniacs such as Dasek, Gates, Fauci and Walensky. They believe themselves gods.

But we must remember that this virus, like anything else in the natural world, just exists. If it should find itself docked to an ACE receptor this is just a matter of circumstance.

We are the existentialists that go about caves, tormenting bats and disturbing nature. If virions have a phenotype, it is what we ascribe to them. In this way members of our species seek to control all of reality instead of just leaving well enough alone.

"They believe themselves gods."

They don't believe in anything beyond themselves and their own ambitions. They fear death. They fear the end of their existence because, for them, death is the end not the beginning.

None of us gets out alive. We all die.

Uploading your consciousness into the cloud so you can live forever is laughable. Whatever is uploaded will not be you.

It makes me wonder though, do such people see the value in a human body? I ask because they apparently own so much but don't seem capable of appreciating it or imbibing in it's natural qualities. They are never satisfied especially through the means by which humans touch reality. In this way, I can see how they would value a digital existence.

IMO, many (most? all?) of the people involved are psychopaths. They value their own lives and, perhaps, the lives of their friends and family members (as long as they agree with them). They don't value the lives of the rest of us.

we've seen this when the tech (literal) geniuses created social media and phones, then realized that when they had kids, what they'd wrought. It's the autistic-ish obsession that all great creators, explorers have, released on the rest of society. This little corner of the world was just exposed ... and we're not - so far - as a societal whole asking 'wait, you're doing *what* with our tax dollars? are you fucking crazy ?'

It's inevitable that inherently curious humans will try to understand our environment. That's the core of all research. But investigation of dangerous things raises the possibility of a research "Heisenberg principle" where observation without manipulation is not possible, and just the act of observing changes the outcome. That's not necessarily bad or good, it just is. We'll never convince the curious to not observe, so we must learn to accommodate the outcomes.

Another principle of physics that probably applies to biology is entropy, the measure of disorder in a closed system. But it occurs in every system, with complex interactions between systems that make predictions difficult, and probably impossible with our current technologies. But we have to try.

We should worry less about disturbing nature, and more about adapting to nature. Nature will challenge us whether we participate or not. It's its nature.

Expand full comment

While your observation about the urge to curiosity and observation in a certain portion of individuals is certainly true, but, there is also the necessity of limit setting. Unfettered curiosity at some point impinges on other members of the social group. Others may not value or enjoy the result of another's unfettered actions (Yes, simply observing is an action; just as not choosing is a choice), and then the principle of "The Greater Good" begins to apply. In a social context, one cannot conduct himself or herself as an unbridled "Id" just pursuing its own inclinations. Many actions and outcomes are possible... not all of them are necessarily desirable.

Expand full comment

I don't give much thought to id, or psychiatrists for that matter. Few actions are unfettered, since living in civilization requires tempering our instincts or facing penalties. Especially in technical curiosity which is necessarily restrained by available funding. But as we often see in the government, they often provide funding for peculiar and even anti social efforts. My point was only that those things happen, we can't stop them, but we can adapt to them.

Circumstance? Perhaps, but could a viral entity just exist in stasis in a bat population while waiting for another more adaptive creature to stick its inquisitive snout into the cave and facilitate a new and more fertile opportunity for said viral entity? Hitting the jackpot with the GOF gang from the Wuhan aggregators would be (a) circumstance (b) culmination of the waiting game, much the same as the spider waiting for the inevitable fly. The viral entity would not be concerned with the motivations of the newfound disseminators of its spike protein. It would, however, definitely seek to effectively diversify and successfully adapt to any opportunity to replicate. If the humans go messing about with the genome to “gain” function, so much the better. The viral entity known as Ebola more rapidly proved fatal to its host, thereby significantly lessening its ability to spread among the humans.

I’ll settle for them feeling it at all.

To what end? Do we believe these crazed scientists released their mutant virus on purpose to test their hypotheses? Or do we believe that it was an accident after unsuspecting lab staff infected themselves and went out among the public?

Further-

1. Was there a militarized component to this? China's economy was teetering prior to the outbreak. Suddenly, they are called on to mass produce PPE and medicines for nations across the world. I imagine that helped their economy.

2. Do we dare entertain the theories on the World Economic Forum's 'The Great Reset'? https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/

Is there a group of global elite that think mass depopulation is necessary to save our planet and help the smooth transition of the 4th industrial revolution?

How much is coincidental? How much of what we are being told is real? We are in strange times, friends. The mind can reach into the depths of conspiracy theory and instead of having to grasp for straws, these actors have laid out so much evidence before us that it is evident they have no desire or intention of hiding anything. It is as if they think they have already won.

Correct, that is what they think. It is a partially false belief, since the autocracy they have erected is essentially a techno-utopian one which does not understand that the state needs a monopoly on force. Instead they have crippled the army with their own injections. There are regions where this won't matter and regions which will essentially be able to shrug off the autocracy like a speck of dust. It just depends on whether the citizens in those regions want to be state-managed "biomass" or want to be free human beings.

Your thoughts on this theory? (Just for fun, from a friend of mine.) The people who resisted the injection made it through the fear cycle without being manipulated or overcome. If the autocracy intends to dismantle the current systems in wealthy, mostly western nations, only the most resilient of people could endure the periods of difficulty and accomplish the rebuilding necessary to reestablish a functional society.

Life outside of the state tends to be a lot more messy than that, as Hobbes tried to get people to understand. Nietzsche had it totally wrong - charisma is much more powerful than resilience or any other measure of "superiority." And tribal homeostasis isn't what it used to be in the pre-firearm era.

Ideally, things will proceed peacefully wherever consensus favors freedom. Where consensus favors autocracy (Canada), those who value their freedom need to already be running. Where the consensus is unclear (California) matters might get messy. Then there's the question of how the Federal gov responds to widespread state nullification of mandates / succession. It's very up in the air since, again, this is a would-be autocracy of utopianists who aren't as comfortable with force as they will need to be, supported by resource-starved police who will either revolt against them (UK? California?) or are brain-washed into fear and, by extension, weakness (Australia).

Do you think moving to a freer city within a goatskin leaning state (Washington or Oregon, eg) is a reasonable strategy? Or do we need to flee to a state with freer management altogether?

It's really hard to say. Planning would be so much easier if the purge of the unvaccinated had a chance of being successful! But prospects are only really dire in the Northeast. It can't be successful in the rural west coast. Zero local support and almost no police left, proportionally, to upkeep the state even before 2020.

Does this mean that CA / OR / WA will be declared "rogue states" by the G7 (revised to G1, probably) and economically sanctioned? That the Bay and LA will become their own city-states to preserve access to the global economy, leaving the rest of CA alone? The current political illegitimacy of the West coast state governments is a huge problem that can only be solved by playing out.

Amidst which chaos, it might seem that the rural areas don't have much to fear from the state. That's true. But what of the mafias that arise in urban areas when the economy turns south? Bay Area gangs have already been preying on tourists all the way down in LA for years. Having sucked the City dry for 20 months straight, presumably they'll turn their attention to the Peninsula (also totally under-policed) next - but who knows, they could turn to the countryside.

All in all, I'd say finding a sanctuary city outside of Seattle / Portland isn't a horrible bet.

Fleeing will not work. They will come get you. The U.S. was created by people fleeing this sort of thing, and it was the last place on the planet to which they could flee. Running is no longer any sort of option.

They have no way to put boots on the ground.

Had they wanted to use injection-based "biological purity" as a new paradigm to indoctrinate young boys to feed them into an army big enough to conquer the world or a police machine capable of carrying out the will of the state, it's clear that they would have had a slam dunk. The potency of vaccine worship within the secular mind is incredible, it seems to exceed any nationalist or racialist programming. To the secular mind, the maker of a vaccine is akin to a Pharaoh - a human god. Even though the things are basically just a bunch of zombie tissues rubbed together by cretins all day long.

But this would only work if the vaccine was a blank, and the efficacy just a mass delusion propped up by media censorship (as it already is).

It can't work if the vaccine kills teen boys (and again, they didn't even try to build the army in the first place, because they didn't think they would need one). The current, vestigial armies of the West will soon be reduced to skeletal drone warfare staffs who might go ahead and stage a praetorian revolt against the media/state anyway - when the Guard loses faith in the Emperor, the Emperor gets tossed into the ditch.

Brilliantly put. I often wonder what the bovine genome makes over our immoral treatment of cows. Those genes have the easiest job in the world, and could care less how callous we act toward their carriers; to them, we are the "servant" and they the master. A peculiar morality, the genome.

I assume you're at least peripherally familiar with David Martin's bold assertion that SARS-CoV-2 was essentially patented 20 years ago, and any cosmetic changes from v1.0, or theatrics about low-budget, semi-illegal expeditions for spikes in bat caves in a country where documents create reality, are just a distraction.

An even more interesting proposal has just been advanced by J.J. Couey, who argues that SARS-CoV-2 was designed either as a vector or model for a coronavirus uber-spike - one that, if vaccinated against, some idiot researcher imagined would grant immunity to any possible coronavirus spike protein. He debuted it in his stream last week, https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1155458003?t=00h59m04s

So, essentially, SARS-CoV-2 is just coronavirus plus a human-"perfected" spike design based on collecting wild spike from as many places as possible - all to the end of eradicating a virus that no one even worried about. I think his theory will take off. He reinforced the argument in his dissection of the Nextstrain data a few days later (as well as making me much more willing to consider that the Covid vaccines might, in fact, have driven changes in the spike as early as the trial periods) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1159285424?t=00h11m59s

I should add that even if neither of them are correct, all this "lab leak" and EcoHealth conspiracy stuff has the firm markings of a psy-op to mask blatantly intentional release.

Expand full comment

Psy-ops are not unique to pandemics, of course, and should be suspected as a factor in every event. Those who shriek about "conspiracy" are either naive or complicit. Conspiracies are as natural as breathing, and should be as expected. Being a natural part of our environment, it's unproductive to investigate or punish them, only useful to adapt to them. But punishment is another form of psy-op, so some will always seek that, too.

Exactly - the "punishment" is always just going to be weaponized by the next media-state apparatus into a theatre of legitimacy that disembodies the state from the people.

Correct, a functioning autocracy requires embodied human intelligence - which is why the NSA/algorithm-based autocracy didn't work in the War on Terror era. But a healthy democracy also requires embodied governance; to get people to agree to limit the state, you have to bring them into the state and let them cancel out their ambitions; that way they go home empty-handed but don't revolt about it. The difference is that a republic is in an unstable state where embodied governance is possible, but not guaranteed.

Too deadly was never going to happen. Not deadly was never going to be acknowledged. Herd immunity to coronavirus is an impossibility. They already achieved game over when Tom Hanks tweeted a picture of a glove. Everything since then has been theatre and statistical manipulation. The only reason it has taken this long to get to the mandates is the awkward necessity of deposing Trump - who didn't want the power granted to him in March and might not have known how to use it anyway - and declaring "victory." Without Trump we would have been here 10 months ago.

And Daszak already would have been tried as an unwitting scapegoat. The only thing holding off that farcical "justice" is the delay in rolling out mandates.

I believe Vanden Bossche also believes the trials brought the variants.

Expand full comment

Exactly - Couey seems to have vindicated him. I'm still one foot in and one foot out. Delta from India based on trials (with magically coincidentally enhanced fitness among the rest of the population)? It's a stretch. Additionally, it doesn't change the fact that infection efficacy (mucosal IgA "sterilizing" immunity) fades after a few months - if we weren't boosting, the selection pressure would already have disappeared.

Expand full comment

Just to explore the theory, which like you I'm not totally convinced by:

you need combinations of key mutations in the spike for serious fitness advantage. One alone won't do it, you need like four. Spike's problem is that picking up all four at once is very unlikely. Generating one randomly is fine but doesn't really yield an advantage; the effect isn't cumulative enough to improve step-by-step.

So you vaccinate a people in the trials, and a few things happen.

-Suddenly a lot of mutations away from legacy spike will be preferred simply for escape potential. Maybe this gives you an inordinate concentration of strains with mutation #1 in the vaccinated, because they're more resistant to other strains.

-But more importantly, you create a lot of people with imperfect immunity, who kind of get sick, and kind of slowly get better. Couey's claim is that these people are functionally the same as the immuno-compromised people with 150-day infections. They get infected with SARS-2 that has mutation #1 already (the strain preferred among the vaxxed) and then their persistent, low-grade infections goes on long enough that separate strains of virus within them develop their own separate mutational arrays. One strain has mutations #1 and 2, the other mutations #1 and #3. Then recombination blends all of these separate mutations together in the same strain, and you have a Variant of Concern.

Expand full comment

I think that is how his theory would go. It seems stronger if you squint at the Nextstrain graphics instead of ponder the details. And I don't want to place too much faith in the fidelity of sampling before autumn 2020 to rule out that the sudden arrival of variants is an artifact of a change in (amount of) measurement.

Expand full comment

There are some who believe variants are being seeded in certain places...like '12 Monkeys' without the time travel. I suspect the jabs are actually accelerating the infections. How else can we explain the explosion of cases in countries that didn't have a problem before (Mongolia, Singapore, Australia)? I've also begun to wonder if the virus lay dormant in people like herpes viruses only to erupt when the person is injected.

Expand full comment

And, to round back to David Martin, some who assert that the variants are a fabrication of frame-placement. Here I acknowledge my epistemic helplessness. It's clear that the collusive media narrative around variants has little connection to their real import either way.

Expand full comment

Not sure. Nextstrain can be explained simply by data = money regardless of utility of data, so it would be reaching to try to tie it into any broader design.

The idea being either turn the entire world into China, or depopulation. The proof of which one will be in the pudding. But if the same forces that are being handed a biomarker-based On/Off switch to citizenship (a person/unperson switch) for the entire human race are the ones who claim that the chain of events that led to this moment were an "accidental" I'd sooner be wrong than believe them.

The author posits that the virus itself somehow cleverly conned the researchers into facilitating the replication of the spike protein and injecting it into the human population.

The last 5 years have been an ever-accelerating revelatory unmasking of my personal naivete. My perception has transitioned from a notion that, at the fringes, our world contained malign actors... into a Biblical Allegory of Good & Evil. These forces conspiring to redirect the trajectory of our civilization are EVIL incarnate, and 'The Good' are much too quiescent and silent. As Yeats said: "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."

Our intention must be to define that which is righteous about Western Culture, and thence, to rise up in an attempt to salvage its tired bones. Those of us willing to act on that impulse must offer no quarter, brook no fatuous calumny of our motives and endeavor tirelessly to despatch the heretical Evil-Doers with unswerving might and impunity.

This is not simply about a Virus. It is about the survival of everything brought into being from Sophocles & Plato to Heisenberg & Salk. Evil must not be permitted to succeed without those of us who can, meeting the Satanic forces on our terms.
