    Gustav Klimt The Park 1909

    I remember that Klimt; it is very rich and very dense, but so expertly done; the contrast of the dense foliage against the view of the light below the dark foliage is wonderful…

    I have to consider the 3 hour video; of which I listened to about 40 minutes…so far…
    Though very well done; it seems redundent for my present living situation…
    My wife and I know full well what enough is…and live our life with probably more than enough at this point.
    But, that said; we’ve not bought, aquired, or accepted anything more than what it takes to live day by day. for more than 5 years and counting………..

    I’m sure the NYT does not see the irony in the juxtaposition of these headlines (can’t read stories, free article limit reached.)

    Children of the Holocaust Who Are Anonymous No More
    Researchers using enhanced, rare footage of a transport to a Nazi death camp have been able to identify some passengers, including children who survived.

    (Love the implicit “we” opposing the “us” in that first headline. Obviously everyone who reads the Times is vaccinated.)

    And proving that they are in techofantasy lala land, right above those two stories on the front webpage:

    Our species seems to have a set-point to favor “eating your dessert when it is in front of you” approach to available resources.
    Farming in colder climates has tempered that for those who were able to survive it, because you have to save and prepare for winter.

    Spanish Politician Banned from Twitter for Hate Speech for Saying a Man cannot get Pregnant.

    If I were to guess at the very sketchy rationale for this call, it was probably because the politician didn’t qualify his statement by saying “biological male” instead of “man”, IOW, I’m guessing he was thought to be saying that transgender men have no inherent right to identify and live as men. I would have to see the context of his statement to have all the information, but I am inclined to think that wasn’t what he was trying to say at all. I’m all for promoting the right and dignity of trans people, but what the censors at Big Tech need to understand is that hypersensitive speech-policing like this will make the average person less friendly to trans rights rather than more.

    The EU is discussing “travel certificates” and in its unending wisdom, because it doesn’t have enough vaccines, has decided that only one mRNA injection is enough to travel freely. They can’t legally ban you from travel if you don’t want that stuff in your body, but they can make it hard and expensive for you, so vaccination will be free -or close- while testing -PDR or rapid- will become costly, and only valid for a few hours or days. How did we get here? What happened to us?

    I agree. Who said all that? I would say, in one word, “The Matrix”

    From Zero hedge article: “To date, 41% of Texans have received at least one vaccine dose, and nearly one in three are fully vaccinated against coronavirus, which lags the rate in many other states.”

    Okay so does this mean Texans can expect to get really sick from covid variants in the coming months if so many are vaccinated? Will they experience lots of vaccination side-effects? It seems to me that they are kicking the tires of a decent vaccination rate – if vaccination is as helpful as hyped, one should be able to resume normal life.

    Matrix, Choice and Fate. Neo is not “The One”.

    There are some parts to this. The “Matrix” anticipates all the normal responses, and as yesterday, lets/promotes rebels to get coverage to see who rallies to the pre-designated flags, so that like Goldberg, they can be properly controlled. That’s established in the movie. So real change can’t come from ordinary responses. In fact, it has to come from inside, from a System’s, the Matrix’s own internal contradictions. Although we matter, the “System” won’t change unless the power players, Deep State, military, billionaires, change. That’s why rebellions happen, but revolutions don’t, because they are conflicts BETWEEN power systems. Not us, the people, we’re the last to know. Conflicts between states and Federals, between business and military, between banks and governments, etc. Not us.

    And that does seem to be happening now, but it’s all so hidden, before it breaks out in the open, down to our level. …With the requisite lies and propaganda about whoever the foot soldiers of those OTHER oligarchs, power people are terrible Huns, or some such lie. Or we’re fighting against slavery, and not for corporate power and final destructive tariffs in favor of northern manufacturers. Or that AntiFa is the obvious hero/enemy. We do see open fire between CIA and Pentagon on the ground in Syria as well as elsewhere, but at the moment remains between (hidden) power blocs. Thank God. You do NOT want fighting to break out at the individual house level, whatever it takes, because it can’t be put back in the box.

    I’ve seen the problem is, the information on the ground is now so bad, so polluted, so unsure, that it’s making me sloppy. I don’t like it, so I have to dial out to a far larger scale than what AOC or Gaetz ate for breakfast. We see that ever-so-clearly with the now hourly flip-flops and nuclear-blinding contradictions in Covid. The information is no good, so the discussion is no good.

    What is that distracting us from?

    This is not good news for mRNA vaccines. Non-neutralizing antibodies are those which cause vaccine enhanced disease or ADE:

    “Biden expressed disappointment in those states that had plans to fully reopen, saying the goal was for every American adult to receive vaccinations before starting big gatherings, with a target date of July 4 for families to get together and celebrate.”

    Of course. Which target was set up in concert with Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J when the US government promised the corporations that if they sped through vaccine development, they would offer up the US population with a dollar sign on each of our heads.

    Partner and I have been doing our part to stop the Covid madness by entering stores maskless. Some stores (Walmart, Arby’s) have no masking signs. Others (Fry’s grocery) have outdated signs stating that masking is required due to local ordinance. Not anymore…governor outlawed that. (Which I don’t think was appropriate — I value home rule, and I dislike the executive branch making and revoking laws — that is the legislature’s job. But it was high time to drop masking rules.). Some have new signs (Home Depot) explaining even the vaccinated should still be masked. NONE of them stopped us when we entered without masks, NONE of them said anything to us at all. And, I’d say that 95% of the customers are masked.

    I for one am glad Home Depot doesn’t like money and like many companies recently, plans to go out of business by annoying their customers. The sooner they fail the better.

    Hey, anyone remember their CEO failing the company by 30% then could only be removed by paying him 100 million? Now that’s capitalism. Efficient markets. Not like free-bank-money banana-capital bank-created monopoly extraction at all. Ya know: with the elimination of a million home-hardware, home-lumber jobs, while Home Depot has profits only as a pyramid.

    Yes, but that only protects those who don’t want the vaccine until full approval occurs. And I don’t see that any major stumbling blocks to full approval have occurred. Full approval will happen, and I/we have no power to stop it. It’s a race…to inform enough people about the problems of the vaccines so that when approval occurs there is common enough knowledge that these vaccines are dangerous so that enough people will continue to resist vaccination…also understanding that once vaccinated, those who were not noticeably harmed by the vaccine are cognitively biased to believe that the vaccine is “harmless” for all. There are many possibilities…by vaccinating not just the vulnerable, it will be harder to hide any long-term vaccination effects as symptoms of old age or pre-existing conditions. Covid vaccine boosters may cause a rash of allergic reactions. So many possibilities…and not wishing ill to come on anyone vaccinated, but also understanding that the only way to prevent forced vaccination is for there to be obvious detrimental side effects.

    “What is that distracting us from?”
    Been wondering about this for a while now. I’m no longer giving much attention to covid related stuff.
    We’ve learned about Inver, etc. from Dr Day. Thanx.
    The “official” pronouncements change daily, no need to go there except to note their direction.
    Locally, it’s quite a bit of “I am not going to mask” met with relief and mask removal by the other person(s). Regional case tally near none, though heavy restrictions are officially mandated.

    What’s next?

    Always assuming the vaccines don’t have nasty long-term side effects, isn’t this what’s really going on, that due to the limited scope of the antibodies new jabs will forever be required to handle the latest variant? So people will have handed over responsibility for their immune systems to Big Pharma. No wonder there has been such a desperate rush to vaccinate everybody.

    Serious question: So what is the point of the jab? You can still get sick and still transmit, and you can still die from it. So what is the point? What does it do that is a benefit for you? Does it have any benefit? How does it benefit those pushing it because they are pushing it hard, going to bars in Dallas with uniformed soliders asking people to get it on the spot. What does it have that those in the “know” want us to have so badly?
