Covid-19 and the rules around it have purged all non-conformists out of most aspects of society. Police, government, military, airlines, big corporations, colleges, universities, health care, teaching etc etc.

So now we have nothing but obedient rule followers running our entire society. That never works out well does it? Perfect for the deviants in Davos however.

This is correct. This is an ideological purge of public institutions and people need to be aware of what is going on (especially the police and military). They are hoping that people just bow out quietly and leave their positions since they don't have their jabs (and most have). Quite genius if you think about it...

One of my best friends joined the police force 2 years ago and I mentioned this to him. He laughed it off at the time. He was also one of the first in line for his jabs because "it couldn't hurt and it could only help". He is now regretting it and starting to realize what is going on.

If we scan the top positions in many powerful institutions, it is surprising to find a similar profile in current 'leaders' ---

People are placed in these positions from relative obscurity or with enough personal / character weakness that it's rather clear they don't belong in that job. They are not leaders who inspire followers, they have not valiantly earned their way up the ladder, nor are they experts in the vast responsibilities that they are suddenly given. They're lucky to have gotten a job they don't deserve, and that sets up a dynamic of defensive insecurity that panders to the people above them (who are strong leaders) while completely failing in the role's responsibilities that they have. Essentially, that position has been conveniently eliminated.

This weakness makes them indebted to whoever is above them, unable to challenge what should be challenged. Imagine if you wanted to pull off something rather massive and naughty, but you might have the beloved, long-respected presidents of University X and Y against you..... Given a show-down in media, the public would side with long-respected university etc. leaders rather than corporate propaganda. However, if the "leaders" are already in a tenuous position without respect of the people, then meaningful opposition has been eliminated. Furthermore, if these "leaders" have no expertise and equally little moral character, you can convince them of any agenda so long as its wrapped in plastic vector graphics with dollar signs and words to boost their fragile ego.

Actually this was last done under bolshevism. Real judges were tossed-out and replaced with party apparitchniks who would sentence people to Gulag for thought-crimes.

-->"He is now regretting it..."

As I like to say (as a warning), you can't un-drink the Kool-Aid.

Most people who capitulate won't get to the regret stage because they refuse any self-examination of their decision, as it's too painful. The head-exploding cognitive dissonance is avoided by remaining purposely ignorant of the facts of the matter.

At least a tattoo can be removed; the jab?

Expand full comment

Yes you can't un-jab yourself. It is surprising how many didn't include this in their risk calculus.

Regarding my friend, it kills me because he is actually one of the most health-conscious people I know. He used to co-own a gym and wrestled at a very high level in Canada. He is also very careful about his diet. I think he just trusts that his leaders have his best interest in mind or that they wouldn't purposely mislead. I am guessing that was the initial mindset for most who acquiesced to this...

However, it is tragic because before 2020, if you asked anyone if they trust politicians or bureaucrats, most would have said no!

Getting jabbed is not that much of a big deal for most. I got jabbed twice and boosted (Moderna) but I changed my mind over the last year. These particular vaccines are toxic and uselss junk. I should not have gotten the jabs but calling that "regret" is too much. They don't work and they injure too many but most of us "vaccinated" will be just fine. Thus, there is no pain and no regret.

I am in great health, no infections, no allergies, just nothing. I did catch omicron a few months after getting boosted but it was really nothing, not even a proper cold. I am confident that the next infection with Sars-CoV-2 will be nothing again.

Expand full comment

I know that two researchers have found pfizer/moderna jab samples to be 'blanks' with no modRNA detectable by spectroscopy. You may have gotten blank jabs.

If this can be verified by more scientists, then this is evidence for malfeasance or fraud, which is not covered by product liability immunity.

Expand full comment

I don't think so. Moderna shot no. 2 caused a severe immune reaction, I was very sick for three days but fully recovered quickly. The booster also caused side effects consistent with strong immune system activation.

Read bongoben's comment again: he said not everyone got blank jabs. I have no knowledge one way or the other but looking at what's been going on I think anything is possible.

Hopefully you’re right. We still don’t know if there are long term adverse reactions.

Expand full comment

Difficult to imagine the mechanism for hidden long term damage. Yes, the spike protein or fragments thereof could behave like a prion, causing amyloidogenic disease. Theoretically. Or the vaccines could cause cancer in some weird way, theoretically.

I think that these vaccines are acutely toxic due to their propensity to damage the epithelium of blood vessels, neurons and the heart pretty much immediately. This makes sense from a biochemical perspective and it's been happening.

Thank you for providing your thoughts.

As you are someone who is clearly intelligent and capable of being circumspect, I'd like to ask a question: Why did you jab in the first place? Are you elderly, immuno compromised? Because if not, and assuming you are aware of the efficacy of many preventatives - why would you subject yourself to something untested?

I'm not so sure about that. According to some sources, there are on average 500 protests in China every day. There are also reports of China surrounding their banks with tanks because of protests.

Damn, you are so right and that is so terrifying. I think that throughout history most large organizations were filled with conformists, but always had, and embraced, a few non-conformists. Those were the leaders who inspired organizations to take risks, to develop new products and services, create dynamic internal cultures, etc. Devoid of those types large organizations are now hollow shells, zombies waiting to be cut down. Unfortunately, they'll keep consuming living flesh and surviving until the living find better weapons and fortresses.

On the bright side, if the application of new vaccines and boosters continues at an increasing pace, the problem might solve itself. Just remember that no matter how brilliant the elites might believe themselves to be, there is no perfect plan.

Not much of a loss in my opinion. Artists are supposed to be the non-conformists of society. Hollywood these days is just putting out reboots and super hero movies. The actors just go along with what ever is popular. We need actors, directors, musicians and playwrights to challenge the prevailing narrative, not validate and regurgitate.

It's a great loss to me. I have developed my skills in the theatre for over 35 years. I lose not only job opportunities, but also a community of colleagues & many friends. I agree we need artists to realize they're on the wrong side by participating in this diabolical bullshit. However, most of them in charge currently seem to be distracted with scrambling to show how many woke rules and regulations they can impose on anyone who walks through their doors. I'm very sad about it.

The universities are beneath contempt now. They've suffered total moral and intellectual collapse. It seems the truly talented and intelligent are heading for the exits, because no one with any sense or brains wants to be subjected to a lifetime of speech codes and mandatory injections under the rule of midwit administrators. Students seem to be catching on too: US enrollment is apparently down 600k this year.

This 1000% . . . a great example of exactly what is wrong. And the plumber is out working and improving his life, family and community. The Ivy league grad is sitting at home on Twitter spewing venom, dragging down family and community.

It was bound to happen as we tried to enforce equity. The narrative became smart people are university graduates, they make all the money. The flyover types are lower class, their professions are beneath us. So in order to make sure everyone is smart and of upper class, then everyone needs to go to university. And to make sure it is equitable the government will pay for your education. Some actual smart people at the top saw the grift and then hired dumb people (administrators) who admitted dumb students to complete the scam.

Sure, there's still decent educations to be had at some schools. And sure we're still graduating smart people educated by smart teachers. But even at that the smart students have learned to be quiet and conform. Sigh . . .

Expand full comment

There's more. Let's say someone is an actually-smart or actually-very-talented person. They are applying for a job that is important in society for whichever fine-tuned moral, technical, expertise, aesthetic reason. Now there are 800 applications from other university graduates. Who is smart? Who is a liability?

By sheer number, people with actual enjoyably-above-average skill in whatever area are being drowned out by noise, and all of society suffers as a result with substandard outcomes.

The more important a job is, the more it will attract unethical, arrogant people who crave power and are willing to stab to get it. If university degrees weren't given out like candy, that could eliminate a lot of the nasty back-stabbers and make it more tolerable for serious people to simply do quality work in important jobs -- essentially, what a degree meant in the past.

Yeah, the trickle down effects are staggering. It takes an extroardinary amount of effort, litterally blood, sweat and tears, to get society where we were a few decades ago. Some fairly reasonable, relatively fair systems to reward the talented, industrious and smart, plus provide very respectable alternatives for everyone else. Sure, there's still corruption and unfair circumstances, but overall arguably the best we've done in human history.

To take the Ivy league grad student example, the family are likely stressed emotionally and financially. They retreat from society, do poorly at their jobs, treat other siblings poorly, turn to substances and other unhealthy behaviors to cope. The online friends this person has are an echo chamber of low expectations, envy and vitriol. Health is poor, cost to society is huge. Forgiving their student debt is just the downpayment on the total cost.

Contrast that with a healthy, balanced person contributing to society, able to help others emotionally and financially, propping up all around him after he is standing solid.

Multiply out these situations over a society and you get exponentially compouding effect.

Universities are a mixed bag. They teach some eminently useful stuff (e.g. engineering), some nice-to-have-but-easily-done-without stuff (e.g. dead languages), and some utter nonsense (need I provide examples?). The question is: whither will the useful stuff go? If the useful disciplines detach themselves from the structure as a whole, then universities will sink and go the way of the Catholic Church. (Oh, I know, the Catholic Church is still there. But compare its power to what it was just a century ago!) If they remain, then - who knows?! It's possible that they (the useful disciplines, plus the university as a whole) will increasingly become more and more corrupt, until China and some of its allies remain the only places on earth that train large numbers of people who know how to build bridges that do not collapse. Or maybe the dumb stuff will slowly wither and die as students abandon those fields, and universities will renew themselves, perhaps in a more modest (but healthier) form.

Speaking of engineering,

plans for a massive project in the US recently crossed the desk of a friend. It was prepared by enthusiastic start-up types who wanted to use their automated software to do it.

Glaring mistake. Would have collapsed, killing thousands of people and costing many millions of dollars. Plan was approved and passed on up the whole structure until the end. Old guys recalculated everything by hand, young guys got huffy and apparently couldn't do traditional calculations.

Expand full comment

Okay, that sounds rather terrifying...

Expand full comment

And the enthusiastic people who designed and are marketing this software did not allow the calculations to be visible --- "why is this 3 cm thick instead of 20?" -- so there's no way to check the safety or the logic on any project that that software is applied to. Everything had to be recalculated by hand and only then did it emerge.

Akin to certain opaque pharmaceutical products.

What you describe is a consequence of two things: (1) the culture-wide pushback against the "nitty-gritty," and (2) a failure of professional ethics.

(1) It's everywhere. Don't force children to master orthography and grammar of their native language. Don't make them calculate stuff by hand. Don't make them memorize foreign language conjugation/declension tables. 'Coz it's BOOORIIING, and boredom is to be avoided at all cost. And that's how you wind up with engineers who don't know how to calculate stuff.

(2) Yes, by all means refrain from making tasteless jokes that are likely to offend people. It's basic courtesy. But the actual ethical principle that engineers need to have inculcated into them is that they have to triple-check all their calculations so that their bridges wouldn't collapse and kill people. But nah. Microaggressions are so much more interesting to talk about.

Teaching dead languages isn't useless.

I was wearing fake mask for nearly a year. Although this autumn I will refuse to wear anything. If anyone complains I will just ask them how many jabs do they have.

Usually they just say "masks are required" or try to hand you a mask. I typically leave.

However, I wonder if "my parole officer gave me an exemption" would be an effective response?

exactly go along to get along. I dislike making confrontations. I have several masks in my car console. Today I am taking my dad for bloodwork at a lab. I am in Northern Virginia 35 miles west of the cesspool. We used to be a very conservative county, and I know 20 years ago no one here would have complied to this BS. Now, it is different. To add: In Virginia you have to wear masks in medical offices

So I know my daddy will forget a mask but I have plenty of those dumb light blue ones you find laying all over parking lots, woods, streets etc;. The new pollution

That's why I use the mesh mask that I linked above. It fits the "mask requirement" in almost all places. In those that it does not, they will give you a blue mask.

It's my little eff u to the whole concept of masks.

It's a little more sturdy than fishnet stockings. It's more like the mesh that you'd see in a mesh swim suit cover up or a mesh tank top.

You can get it lined or unlined; I have it unlined.

And yes, you can hold it up and see through it. To me, that's the point.

Doubtful.

Look on the bright side. You won't need to mask up this winter, it isn't like you will be going out for coffee or dinner, the restaurant's power will be out.

Good lord - I thought Germans were intelligent. Biden and Fauci both quad vaxxed and had Covid… So damn dumb - the countries are different, but the desire for control by certain humans is the same.

The more educated are more easily hypnotized. The self-assurance of intelligence is its own trap.

Sorry, but not surprised, to hear about the new, proposed legislation. All of this blatant authoritarian madness makes me want to take my family and move to the middle of nowhere and remove ourselves from this sick experiment.

and where would that be... at this point.

Hubbs and I would love to "run away" as well.

I don't know if this is a good suggestion or not but there is a website/company called Nomad Capitalist or something similar. They're on YT as well. I've watched a few videos, their ideas don't seem to be bad but I have no idea how good they are.

As far as I know, most of the world is on board with all the craziness to some extent or other. I think Bosnia Herzegovina didn't buy in. There are countries however where the rules aren't really enforced or perhaps it's easy to buy your way out of a pickle. The latter was sort of the way it was in some commie countries. About 30 years ago, I traveled through Bulgaria, got into some trouble and it was completely easy, fast and not too expensive to pay my way out.

If you need a pick-me-up, something to brighten your day, head on over to r/COVID19postive on reddit. I can't remember if it was you who pointed out a post there months ago, but since then it has been the gift that keeps on giving!

Some recent favorites! What a pitiful end for humanity.

It's really the logical outcome of wokeness and being ok with that being imposed on you as a job condition.

I love it!!!!!!

Like going everyday and ask, “can I get another one soon? Can’t wait!!!”

Expand full comment

Can’t stop thinking about it. Someone should prepare a book with covid pictures: people on the beach with masks, people swimming with masks,, etc… This “continual willingness” thing could be there as well. Could even be the books title!
