"In a way that comes from being born into this world, having no idea what it’s about, being rejected by a million people including by those close to you, forgetting who you are, succumbing to self-betrayal, feeling the unbearable pain of it, pedaling toward healing for your dear life, screaming, not knowing why it has to hurt so much". pedaling away is how I emigrated in 1982 to France to live in what i call 'socio-economic, political exile', for a decade. So it hits the spot.
There isn't a day goes by now, when I don't think about what happened to me, when I was in my earlier adulthood.
Oh, I've been there, like from 1956 to 1987 or so. Living as in exile. But (never start a sentence with a but, - bad grammar), I'm a male and I'm supposed to bear the piling on of many more layers ... Don't become a mess though. Who really has the time for a mess, hmm?
I really cannot encourage emotionalism though at times like this. I do fear the monster.
The possibility that we're just in the 'eye-of-the-storm' at this moment. That these ogres, these specific organisations and these 'off-shore' enemies are preparing an even greater onslaught or conjunction of some very unfortunate coincidences. An attempt to define our resilience in a grand-final 'show-down' event. Like ... a new virus out of Wuhan that interacts with your vaccines (if you took 'em), and er; - well you know, that's it, bye-bye-happy-hour!
Sadly the internet, I've learned is not a place where people want to read my truths or aspersions; - so I'll leave it at that. And don't forget. Love is not a place to hide if one is truly worried about being abused or hurt. Sure, I love you. This is the internet. So what the hell does that mean?
Fill in the blanks here. "Please look after yourself", he said fading into the distance.
Thank you Peggy! I think that monsters play a role, they help the people stay away. One definitely has to figure how to love oneself first and foremost (not as in "these are MY chocolates, none for you" :) but really, in a mysterious way). When it comes to monsters, I think the most important task is to protect ourselves from them. But we cannot succumb to fear or hatred, both can kill us from the inside, and it's not good. So insisting on love as a principle of life, while intelligently protecting ourselves from the monsters, seems like a good strategy, something we need to figure out all the time because it's definitely not easy.
Isn't it also fanatic and cruel to insist that people who actually do science and)or believe in the scientific method are "asleep", "sheepies" or co- conspirators when all they are doing is responding reasonably to an existential threat? It's ok to question the science, but, when your objection is countered, it's not okay to dismiss the answer by suggesting the answer is a lie, because it's "known" or " suspected" that the scientist has ulterior and malevolent motives. These aren't arguments, they're, beliefs and should be presented as such. Lives are being lost and "suspicions" shouldn't be confused with scientific fact.
For instance, masks. "Do masks help prevent disease spread?" That is the question. In answering it, one cannot cherry pick data that supports either the yes or the no...Since the data supports "yes" , with obvious caveats as to type and fit, why waste time and lives supporting "no"? It is, as you say, "cray-cray" and cruel when people scream at school board members and threaten doctors because they are recommending something that has been scientifically proven to save lives
Also as far as masks specifically, the data does not really support their usefulness at all and supports the fact that masks dramatically increase the amount of CO2 that we breathe in, which is bad for health. Also masks are petri dishes for bacteria, including the ones that cause pneumonia (while letting the viruses pass through and around just fine).
But that rather uncontroversial scientific conclusion has been attacked and censored. In the end, who benefits from that distortion of science? Not the regular citizens, and not even the regular citizens who sincerely believe that mask are good for them!! We can cheat what we believe in but we can't cheat what happens in the biological sense!!
Thanks for the reply. The answer to the question, "do masks help prevent the spread of an airborne virus?" has been answered through the scientific method in many, many studies. I won't cite because you have already "poisoned the well" by saying you "believe" studies are rigged. In which case, it would be helpful to cite the research you see as faulty.
Implying that masks are useless because Thailand is heavily masked is not "proof" either, of masks not working. The question would be, "Why is Thailand surging in Covid transmission?" The data collected would INCLUDE masks, but also location of clusters, living conditions, vaccination rate, general sanitation, etc., etc. Has anyone claimed all masks are 100% effective? No. That's a straw man argument. (The Thailand argument is also cherry picking, without any context. Why not also cute New Zealand?). Masks are recommended as one of several easy to use tools to help prevent getting and spreading a virus.
Much of your argument seems philosophical, from the point of view that we have all lost our way and have disconnected ourselves from the simpler, more connected lives of our ancestors. I can't comment on that, though I do know indigenous people used observation and trial to discover which plants would cure a headache or stop a wound from becoming putrid. Their minds worked pretty much the same as ours do at collecting and interpreting what we now call data.
I agree with the general premise that greed, power and lust for recognition and status can skew thinking and cause people to lie, exaggerate or tweak data. The purpose of peer review is to stop this from happening.
So, I hope you don't mind that I peer review your assertions so that maybe both of us will learn from each other and adjust where necessary.
I think that screaming at sincere people is not justified in any case. I personally don't think it helps anyone, and that's regardless of who is factually more correct in a given exchange. I don't like screaming, and regret it when people do that, even though usually, regardless of the opinion, people scream out of frustration and fear for their well-being.
The question is, has something been scientifically proven to save lives?
Are we talking science according to the actual scientific method, or just by virtue of having a diploma or a job in research? As someone who grew up around medicine and science and hearing all the conversations about what scientists do in real life, I am well-aware that there is a lot a of data rigging happening in "science" in order to prove what's desirable.
Importantly, is the scientific debate allowed? Or are we in a situation where only one kind of opinion is amplified, while dissenting opinions and conclusions, regardless of how credentialed the person is, are mocked and censored?
Having dug rather deep into what we are living though right now (and yes I do have a background in anthropology and academic research), I have come to a conclusion that science is more or less dead at the moment, which is tragic and heartbreaking. I miss the days when scientific method meant something at least as an aspiration.
Also I wrote about the corruption in the medical establishment here. It is very thoroughly sourced.
From “Event 201” to “Cyber Polygon”: The WEF’s Simulation of a Coming “Cyber Pandemic” , Whitney Webb 2/5/21
Last year, the World Economic Forum teamed up with the Russian government and global banks to run a high-profile cyberattack simulation that targeted the financial industry, an actual event that would pave the way for a “reset” of the global economy. The simulation, named Cyber Polygon, may have been more than a typical planning exercise and bears similarities to the WEF-sponsored pandemic simulation Event 201 that briefly preceded the COVID-19 crisis...
...When the world’s most powerful people, such as members of the WEF, desire to make radical changes, crises conveniently emerge—whether a war, a plague, or economic collapse—that enable a “reset” of the system, which is frequently accompanied by a massive upward transfer of wealth.
In recent decades, such events have often been preceded by simulations that come thick and fast before the very event they were meant to “prevent” takes place. Recent examples include the 2020 US election and COVID-19. One of these, Event 201, was cohosted by the World Economic Forum in October 2019 and simulated a novel coronavirus pandemic that spreads around the world and causes major disruptions to the global economy—just a few weeks before the first case of COVID-19 appeared...
Rather than preparing for a potential medical pandemic, Cyber Polygon 2020 focused on preparing for a “cyberpandemic,” one that mainstream media outlets like the New Yorker claim is “already underway.”...
Cyber Polygon 2020 was both an ad for pro-Russian relations and a promotional exercise for Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. Some of the people who took part and supported the Cyber Polygon event are involved at the highest levels of cyber intelligence; some may have even been unofficial representatives of their national state intelligence apparatus. The decisions of several national governments to participate directly in the WEF-led Great Reset is no “conspiracy theory.” For instance, the incoming Biden administration sent its climate envoy, John Kerry, to the WEF annual meeting last month, where Kerry underscored the US commitment to the Great Reset agenda and the associated Fourth Industrial Revolution that seeks to automate most jobs being currently performed by humans. With the governments of Russia, China, the US, the UK, Israel, Canada, and India, among others, on board with this transnational agenda, it becomes deeply unsettling that high-ranking operatives in both the public and private sectors joined the WEF to conduct a simulation of a crisis that would clearly benefit the Great Reset agenda...
A massive cyberattack, such as that simulated at Cyber Polygon 2020, would allow faceless hackers to be blamed for economic collapse, thus absolving the real financial criminals of responsibility. Furthermore, due to the difficult nature of investigating hacks and the ability of intelligence agencies to frame other nation states for hacks they in fact committed themselves, any boogeyman of choice can be blamed, whether a “domestic terror” group or a country unaligned with the WEF (for now, at least) like Iran or North Korea...
Wow. Just wow. Every. Single. Time. Your words touch my soul. Thank you.
Thank you!!!! I am so honored to touch your soul. <3
This is beautiful, Tessa. "And courage, as the sword and the chariot that carry love through fire and through darkness" - that brings tears.
Thank you Dirck!!! Hugs!!

Here is the under-2 minute-advert for the "cyber pandemic with COVID-like characteristics". It appeals to my fears.
It works much better than that "You'll own nothing and be happy" drivel.
This is a real threat. My heart is beating faster and my attention is focused. I need to know a lot more about this!
