Strong covid video promoting Australia Rally August 21, 12pm

OK – this video has a super powerful message and a lot of it rings true. I don’t agree with all of it – but it is worth watching and thinking hard about. Detangling the hyperbole from just how bad things actually are – is difficult now for me.

I hesitated to put this vid up because it is a bit sensationalist, but it’s also good for all of us to push our imaginations beyond normal limits. It’s quite likely we are on the verge of digital tyranny leading to world depopulation and slavery. Does not hurt to at least consider that picture. I agree with Malone’s comments above. ABN

The evolutionary advantage of playing victim

Scholars from the Immorality Lab at the University of British Columbia created a victim-signaling scale that measures how frequently people tell others of the disadvantages, challenges, and misfortunes they suffer. Those who scored higher on this victim-signaling scale were found to be more likely to virtue-signal—to outwardly display signs of virtuous moral character—while simultaneously placing less importance on their own moral identity. In other words, victim signalers were more interested in looking morally good but less interested in being morally good than those who less frequently signal their victimhood.

You could expand this to include the groupiness of the hard left. Playing victim requires an audience. Also requires an ideology that forces others to pay up. ABN

Some of what I caught from Lindell’s symposium yesterday: Anonymous Conservative

Everything below is quoted. Link to original at the end. ABN

Joe Oltmann, the Tech executive who described hearing Dominion executive Eric Coomer say he had made sure Trump would never win in November, and who said publicly Coomer had extensive ties to Antifa, was at Lindell’s Tech symposium, and briefly told his story. He began by saying people should have no doubt, there is a massive hidden organization in this country that has taken everything over, and it works, in his words, “exactly like the Mafia.”

Alcoholism and its effects on character traits

This article is well-worth reading: FRONTAL LOBE CHANGES IN ALCOHOLISM: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Few people, if any, in this world have not been affected by alcoholism. How much of human history has been warped by it?

UPDATE: The Fifth Precept of Buddhism is: “No irresponsible use of alcohol.” This is often interpreted to mean no irresponsible use of drugs as as well. This extension of the meaning of this precept is reasonable because many drugs cloud the mind and cause bad judgement in ways similar to alcohol. Nevertheless, that is not what the original precept is. I personally do not drink or use drugs, but believe the following is also worth considering: Are We Misunderstanding the Fifth Precept? ABN

The Climate Change Alternative We Ignore (to Our Peril)

Below is an article by The Ethical Skeptic, well worth reading. ABN

A study released in January 2020 by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics/Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Science Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, claims that the world’s oceans are warming at the same rate as if five atomic bombs were dropped into the sea every second.
When the Earth’s core enters an exothermic cycle, the Earth’s air-conditioning heat pump gets less efficient.

Mitta Sutta: A Friend

“Monks, a friend endowed with seven qualities is worth associating with. Which seven? He gives what is hard to give. He does what is hard to do. He endures what is hard to endure. He reveals his secrets to you. He keeps your secrets. When misfortunes strike, he doesn’t abandon you. When you’re down & out, he doesn’t look down on you. A friend endowed with these seven qualities is worth associating with.”

Thanissaro Bhikkhu

The Gestalt-Heuristic (G-H) Gap and Its Impact Upon Understanding

There exists an essential dysfunction between those subject matter experts who execute the detail and craft of a discipline, or its heuristics, and those who are responsible for the direction and ethics of the organization, or its gestalt. Such dysfunction can serve to be the source of flawed decision-making based upon poorly crafted analytics and scientific study.

This is a very good read. It explains (describes) how and why large organizations can make very serious mistakes. The essay ends with a very clear description of how governments have made a huge mistake by promoting and now mandating covid vaccines, which already have clearly failed.

Personally, I believe the vaccine debacle is more than just a mistake. It seems most probable to me that those at the top of the Gestalt hierarchy have bad motives. Can it be that all those agency heads, board directors, and hospital administrators can’t understand what a leaky vaccine is? Or ADE? And why have they actively suppressed effective treatments for covid? TES’s analysis can also form a basis for a strategy of unrestricted warfare as Gestalt leaders can be certain Heuristic specialists will be incapable of questioning them effectively. Who are the top Gestalt leaders? Maybe we do not know or cannot know yet, but we can see and describe the terrible effects of their decisions and thus assume those leaders exist. What else is coordinating all those agency heads, board directors, and hospital administrators? ABN

The vaccines have FAILED. Booster shots will only make them WORSE. The nightmare of ADE is already rearing its ugly head

The evidence is in. It’s clear. Not only have the vaccines failed, they are dangerous for all healthy people. Giving them to healthy children is downright evil. There is no medical justification for that. Mandating them for anyone is evil. There is no other word for it.

Here is just some of the evidence:

Israel: “95% of the severe patients are vaccinated”

Iceland: “Vaccination has not led to herd immunity”

141 hospitalizations, 43 in ICU and 18 on vents. All but ONE have been vaccinated

Scroll through this site for more information and links showing the vaccines have failed and are now doing more harm than good. The pandemic is now being fueled by vaccine-selected variants. The vaccinated are getting sicker and in greater numbers because vaccine efficacy is waning. I even doubt the vaccinated are getting milder cases of covid, as is sometimes claimed. Isn’t it more likely that the vaccines themselves have already killed the most vulnerable, eliminating them from the tally? ABN
