    From the Non-Profit Industrial Complex with Love | The Art of Annihilation

    The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg – for Consent: The Political Economy of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex [ACT I]


    “What’s infuriating about manipulations by the Non Profit Industrial Complex is that they harvest the goodwill of the people, especially young people. They target those who were not given the skills and knowledge to truly think for themselves by institutions which are designed to serve the ruling class. Capitalism operates systematically and structurally like a cage to raise domesticated animals. Those organizations and their projects which operate under false slogans of humanity in order to prop up the hierarchy of money and violence are fast becoming some of the most crucial elements of the invisible cage of corporatism, colonialism and militarism.”

    I’m getting so tired.

    Can I rest now?

    I started drinking (getting drunk) again after 8 years 5 months of sobriety, I can’t handle all the suffering anymore…

    I rescue abandoned animals by the arm full, yet they keep coming.

    I help others in the same hell, putting their rescues on my adopt-a-pet/petfinder websites, sorting through calls where 80-90% of the potentials are people/places I wouldn’t place a furbaby, forget about them being of any real use to other humans…

    Then I wonder what will happen to these poor souls, many of which have received the death injection(s), where will they end up when their families become sick, disabled or dead? 😐

    What will happen to these marvelous furry souls that the Infinite has placed in our hands?

    We have rescued hundreds of kittens, cats & dogs over the last three decades, but it’s a complete shit show now!

    The sadness of suffering is almost more than my soul can bear, thus the escape through alcohol ~ A poison that almost killed me before I got sober the last time…

    I poured out the last few ounces of booze I have in the house, I really hope I’m done.

    I have work still to do helping innocents, as well as supporting others doing the same, I hope m spirit is enough to carry me through this dark age…

    My mother is in a nursing home, I have requested that her other children/grandchildren attend in my stead, after 800+ days non-stop I can’t deal with it anymore ~ She’s nearing the end, hospice is probably the next step.

    My spiritual intuition tells me that things will become MUCH darker, I doubt I will see the light in this life again, but caring for my wife & our Les Misérables keeps me going ~ I used to help other humans, but that has gotten impossible…

    I wish you all the best, love one another, for tomorrow we die.

    “Austria just announced mandatory vaccination as per Feb. 1”

    Then I guess I will be eating my hats. Both of them. FIlled with humble pie.

    Not that it makes much difference, I suppose. It wasn’t as if the economic bubble-popping of the covid phenomenon was going to be halted much less reversed by vox populi getting a grip on its medical self; but it would’ve been encouraging to witness people embracing at least that much personal responsibility and the autonomy that creates.

    Non stop Jury tampering:
    “MSNBC Banned from Rittenhouse Trial after Employee Follows Jury Bus; Network ‘Regrets’ Incident”

    Mistrial #12? #13? Why do I even bother following this? Lying, cheating, threatening, intimidating, murdering if possible. Every minute, every day, not news. The only news would be if somebody did something about it.

    MSNBC Reporter Seen Hanging ‘The Jurors Are Here’ Sign On Their Hotel” – BBee

    Or “Hang the Jurors here”, either way. Somebody added, “If this doesn’t mean a mistrial, just exactly what would it take to get one?”

    “DEVELOPING: Kenosha School District Switches to Remote Learning to ‘Protect Students and Staff’

    The Left: tracking down and killing children, wherever they may be found. Or else what are we talking about? What are they afraid of? That Ted Cruz of the GOP plans to riot and burn Kenosha businesses and schools? Pretty sure that’s not happening.

    I don’t want to report this: it’s not salutary and not helpful. I’m quite sure it’s not what “The Left” is going for. However, it’s what’s happening and what they widely approve of, so I can’t lie about it either. If danger is being created, we need to name what that danger is and where it’s coming from. If they don’t approve of, condone, and encourage it, they can disavow it and pull all funding, actively remove participating D.A.s and anyone who raises funds to bail out arsonists and looters. That would be 30% of the Party, deactivating their own Brown Shirt Left wing, apparently composed of felons and rapists, so I don’t think they will. I can’t hide their actions for them, but I’ll be elated to report if they wish to change tactics and stop killing people, particularly children, the poor, minorities, and their businesses.

    Uttar Predesh: Great! I’m glad you see that India has Covid falling everywhere. And if you put their rates/deaths against Europe, at the peak India was still 10x safer than France if I recall. Now since virtually no one is vaccinated there, sanitary conditions are terrible, and the people are poor and often of weak health can you explain to me why I need to go there to be safer than Ann Arbor? Thanks again for your help in proving my case, and demonstrating with overwhelming force that neither vaccines nor masks work.

    But something seems to be working there. And in Africa, Indonesia, SE Asia; some thing, some action, some food – some drug even – that only seems to be given in certain areas of the tropics. Something that’s very common, but is not in Northern Africa, Egypt, or Libya. I wonder what it could be?

    On that note, what is making Florida – completely open – safer than Michigan, Minnesota, California, NY? Something – something that seems to predictably wax and change with the seasons. Whatever could it be? Gosh, if we could only identify this seasonal compound and distribute it cheaply to the masses, we might save HALF the lives. You know: 99.9985% survival instead of 99.997% survival.*

    *People under 70 with no comorbidities.

    So thanks to your providing the evidence of how well all of India is doing, I don’t need to tell YOU that masks don’t work. And therefore it’s no surprise to you that Florida is doing better than lockdown New Mexico and ultra-vaxxed Vermont. I’m sure you’ll be calling your Congressman shortly and requesting that they stop all Covid measures and restore human rights, since that is what your data supports. I’m so happy we agree all the time!!!

    “becoming vaccinated should still be a priority for Americans, but the anti-covid pills that may allow at-risk individuals to stay out of the hospital “could be a lifesaver.”

    Actually quite a good idea. No one will die of “Covid” anymore, and instead will die at home of a variety of spike consequences such as heart failure. Naturally they also get paid for both the selling and the hiding.

    “Eventual new lockdowns should not have to be suffered by those who are vaccinated. Restrictions should only apply to those who are not immunized,”

    Why? Who are they endangering? The vaccinated who are safe? This is why you can’t use logic. Logic does not apply here, so responding with logic will only annoy them. They want to kill and oppress people, and you need to respond in that way instead.

    “QAnon-style conspiracy theories and far-right undertones.”

    Uh, what does any of that mean? “Bad word, word, prickly word, alarming word, word. How do you feel now?” Q-Anon in what way? It was also letters of text posted on the internet? As Bernie Sanders and his supporters such as Joe Rogan are now routinely called “far-right” or even “Nazi”, so the milder “undertone” means they might be Kirsten Gillibrand?

    cloth facemasks in community settings has become an accepted public policy response to decrease disease transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

    Yes, it’s a “Public policy response” because it’s a social and not a medical response. It has no foundation in science, and has been re-debunked worldwide over the last two years. Although the data is messy, there is no correlation between masks, lockdowns, and outcomes. In fact, almost the opposite: the most lockdown areas are the worst in the world. CDC releases and re-releases studies that show masks don’t work (most recently children study in August) and the CDC and their Science are promptly ignored in favor of little yellow stars.

    We knew this in the first weeks, as it was aerosol or near-aerosol transmission and 100 years of CDC data said that anything under N95 – and that with gloves and protocols – would do nothing. And so it DID do nothing, and nothing has been stopped, anywhere. We are 100% on the pre-2020 Science, and 100% OPPOSITE to all post-2020 CDC Science. One works, one doesn’t. So we must, must, must use the one that doesn’t, hasn’t, won’t work.

    “Mask Wearing Cuts New Covid-19 Cases By 53% (F.)”

    If it does that, why are mask areas the worst in the world and Florida and Sweden doing fine? Something doesn’t add up. If their masks worked, Britain and Ireland would be half as bad. Also, so…when do we stop using them? Or do we need to breed genetic humans that have a mask at birth? Do we stop when the seas are nothing but a boiling blue mass of masks? Otherwise, what’s your exit plan?

    “Capitalism operates systematically

    WHY do you make me have to respond to this? NGOs are “Capitalism” now? They are NON-profits. Charities. You just said so 10 words ago. Other than ‘Capitalism’, he’s correct: that is the purpose and it is widespread and successful. These “helping” NGOs “Help” Raytheon bomb Syria, then “help” the U.N. fabricate fake chemical weapons attacks, then “help” refugees sink in boats, over and over and over, to allow more bombings by Raytheon. The NGO part is to make nice people support it. To their very lives. To love, adore, support, fight, kill, and die in defense of Raytheon and the bombings-for-profit. As you can see, it works better than anything in the history of history. There is NO murder, death, profit, or extraction that the young, the Left, and the heart-felt “helpers” won’t approve of, and will jail and kill anyone who stand in their way, as seen on Belmarsh and Kenosha.

    This is amazing to me, nevertheless, I must admit that it’s true, and also entirely, completely impossible to break or even mildly affect the spell they are under. They will kill ME, a stranger, a family, a friend, if I interrupt their séance and worship to Raytheon, Pfizer, and their billionaire dick-ship riding owners.

    Gary — Life is very much larger that that. Larger than all this. If the logic doesn’t work, doesn’t make sense in this small zone, go up a level, add larger things. When you go up a level, you realize how small this is and how it makes sense in the bigger picture. To me that’s realizing death is not an end and we live eternal, through multiple lives, progressing slowly, but getting better nonetheless. From that view, no one is “dying” — not your mother nor the animals — they are changing on to elsewhere. And then change and return and go back again. All things are temporary, as time = change, and all named things ‘die’. Progress is slow but compare the animals and health, the morals and mores to 1721, 1021, 21 B.C.

    How are you dying when death is not the end? And how are you failing when you have forever to improve? Give yourself a break, we can’t always uphold all pressures.

    Have no idea what to make of “no flu season” last year, but CNN has an article talking about it today. I am thinking it’ll be used as further ammunition to crank down on the unvaxed.

    CNN: “While influenza activity is very low in the United States, it’s getting started and there’s enough to indicate that there will be at least some kind of flu season this year, unlike last year, when an emphasis on frequent handwashing, mask use, closures of schools and businesses, and social distancing pretty much shut down transmission of the virus.”

    “The CDC estimates that, depending on the season, flu kills anywhere from 12,000 to 61,000 people a year in the United States. During the first week of November, 14% of deaths were attributable to influenza, pneumonia or Covid-19. Only 0.3% of specimens tested came back positive for influenza this past week, the CDC found, and just 295 people have been hospitalized for flu.”
    “On Monday, the CDC confirmed it was helping state and local health officials in Michigan investigate an outbreak of more than 500 cases among students at the University of Michigan. That’s the biggest single outbreak so far.”

    At the University of Michigan, 98% of students and 90% of staff have been fully vaccinated against Covid. I’d be interested to see data about whether the flu outbreaks this season are mostly affecting Covid-vaxxed or unvaxxed.

    Regarding the flu outbreak among the 98% Covid-vaxxed students, “an outbreak of this size so early in flu season is concerning.”

    The first positive test was on October 6, according to the college’s newspaper The University Record. Since then, 528 cases have been diagnosed by the University Health Service (UHS) on campus, with a large upswing over the past two weeks. During the week of November 1, UHS diagnosed 198 new cases, with 27% of all tests performed coming back positive. The week of November 8, there were 313 new cases, and the positive test rate increased to 37%.

    It’s normal for cases of the flu to start going up as early as October—with flu activity typically peaking between December and February, per the CDC—but an outbreak of this size so early in flu season is concerning. “While we often start to see some flu activity now, the size of this outbreak is unusual”… The strain behind the Michigan outbreak is a subtype of the influenza A virus called H3N2, The University Record reports…

    When it comes to distinguishing the flu from COVID-19, the illnesses can present so similarly that the only way to know is with diagnostic testing, according to the CDC. Overlapping symptoms include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, cough, trouble breathing, and muscle or body aches. One differentiating symptom is losing your sense of smell or taste, which is more common with COVID-19 (though it can sometimes occur with the flu too, the CDC says). And it is possible to be infected with both at the same time, per the CDC.

    All those negative test results (for the flu) suggest that there are lots of Covid-vaxxed students with flu-like respiratory illnesses (prompting the students to get tested for the flu).

    Zero, from that Conversation piece:

    But COVID vaccines have been thoroughly tested, and they have been shown to work. Their side-effects have been extensively examined. They have been approved for use around the world and have been credited for saving many lives.

    No, they have not, and no, they have not. And neither have the side effects. They have not been approved either, EUA is not that. Sure, the triumvirate claims many lives have been saved. But not a word about lives lost due to banning early treatment.

    I’ll jump the gun and say that this is almost certainly ADE. Because most of us learned about ADE by studying the covid phenomenon, we tend to forget that the main problem with ADE is that it weakens the general immune system, period.

    VPoet mentioned addiction. Lord, am I an addict. Miraculously clear at last for almost a month. My addictions had reduced to cannabis, a fairly benign addiction, almost a 50/50 benefit/damage ration. But it triggers an ancient tobacco jones.

    Having been homeless a sizable portion of my life including a recent 6-month spate in 2016-17, I have no problem picking up old cigarette butts rather than buy and therefore smoke a whole pack instead of just getting a quickie fix from one or two half-smoked fags. (Everyone go ‘ick’ and get it out of your system, already.)

    What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Unless I caught some wicked bug like tuberculosis, this naturally strengthened my immune system’s intelligence factor — its ability to recognize and rapidly target offending microbial intruders — even as I turned my lungs into rotten pulp sacks.

    Inbetween recurrent bouts of the behavior described above, I take awesome care of myself, building up the muscles of my immune system — my T or Z cells or whatever forms the general all-purpose grunt army that protects me through brute force from infections.

    And of course, abundant vitamin D & C. (Other stuff too but D&C are the mainstays against infection, imo.)

    I’m not particularly scared of covid or any bug even though I know there’s a bug out there, with a warrant for my deathg written in its genome, that will finish me off someday if more mechanical means, from gunshot to heart attack, don’t beat the microbes to the finish line.

    I don’t exactly go around french-kissing winos sleeping in the gutter, but I give my immune system a vigorous workout overall. At 65, with greasy paper sacks for lungs, and a body whose capillaries are increasingly prone to internal bleeding, I like my chances of not getting taken out by teensy ninja bugs better than that of most people.

    My skater son, age 25, in strong physical health from his skater lifestyle, especially now that he’s given up the party booze/weed ethic it features, and has learned from his old man that his body is made up of what he eats, therefore a ramen diet will turn him into a bowl of soggy noodles, is virtually bulletproof from all the street time he spends, falling on the ground, literally rolling in layers of infectious city dirt.

    The sickest he’s ever been is when he got the first round of the clot shot after asking his old man what he should do and, of course, ignoring my advice and getting the vakz because, like almost all people his age, magic screens with talking heads predominantly rule his psyche. (And we are very close, very close, and he admires me and calls me Wise Man.)

    But any damage to him from the vakz will be way down the road, if at all. He’s good for now (and says no to boosters).

    In a sense, I say, bring on the night. Not only couldn’t I stand another day of our phony culture’s false sunlight (insert snide remark about “green energy” here if it please ya), but victory shows a bias for those who strike first. Light a candle, embrace the darkness… and stick a shiv in its belly. KIll it with kindness. Believe in miracles but don’t expect them; not because they’re unreliable, but because we can hardly see them when they happen, hysterical and scared and goggle-eyed as we become when the lights go out.

    The easiest thing to make in this world is a miracle, for example each passing breath that keeps your head and heart aflame with this wondrous thing called being alive but we mostly take for granted.

    The hardest thing to do is recognize and honor those miracles.

    Like VPoet, we can’t save ’em all, but we can save some — for awhile. In the end, we all lie down and don’t get up again, at least not in this wild world.

    In response to Germ’s video: You can live without a cell phone. I am still alive. Throw the damn thing out- it may be our only hope.

    How lovely it would be to see
    Big piles of cell phones, sea to sea.
    With one small act we’d light the blaze
    To burn this misanthropic maze.

    They comprised an exchange between the American virus–hunting foundation, the EcoHealth Alliance and its funders in the US government. The scientists discussed collecting viruses from bats in eight countries including Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos between 2016 and 2019. But to avoid the complication of signing up local subcontractors to their grants in those countries, they promised to send the samples to a laboratory they already funded. And where was this lab? Wuhan.

    I may be reading too many classics lately, but here is an observation:

    EcoHealth Alliance sends a virus to Wuhan. Fauci needs to cover the crime, and the power-hungry Blue Church wants to grab power. They need to get rid of the Unvaxxed to complete the power grab.

    This kinda reminds me of Macbeth.

    Macbeth(Fauci) murders King Duncan(Virus released from Wuhan) and takes the Scottish throne. The power-hungry wife, Lady Macbeth(Blue Chruch), desires to grab more power. The Macbeths go mad by trying to kill off all the opposition.

    We all know how that story ended.

    @my-parents-said-know & @germ In the same vein as Shakespeare:

    Lady Macbeth: Out, damned spot! out, I say!—

    Doc Robinson, thanks for your thoughts on the flu issue…something to keep an eye on, I guess.

    Does anybody remember the story (I think it was on NPR) from a couple of years back, out of the Pacific Northwest… health authorities reported a very localized outbreak of some sort, it was a mystery to them. Some authority even made the decision to shut down the high school to stop the spread. When they elevated it to the state (federal?) level, they were ordered to “stand down”.

    This thing has been loose for a while, and more-and-more footsteps keep appearing…all leading to Ecohealth Alliance. Is it even posdiblt to vaccinate against a “two-headed chimera”? Thus far, the answer seems “no”…

    The rich and powerful have voted to give $1.9T to the people.
    Not as good as what a socialist would do, but its a start, for a bunch of capitalists that has control of all the money.

    VP- Maybe this is how you feel?
    There’s even a black screen mode so you can hear the soothing sounds of the volcano to sleep.

    Gary,

    My Heart knows where you are – as I have been there too. You are not alone.

    Infinite LOVE to you – for providing comfort to marvelous furry souls, your wife, and to your Mother. It is easy to lose yourself in caregiving. The decision to ask the next generation to help with their Grandmother is right-on; the kids will get the needed, first-hand experience of the dying/death process + all the questions and musings that come with it.

    The burdens of life are not yours to bear alone. Taking responsibility for YOUR choices/outcomes in this life is why you’re here. Let go of what is not yours, of what you can not possibly control. The letting go is an act of LOVE. At this moment, there is no end to the suffering in this world. Use discernment in choosing where to engage. Do what you can while taking CARE. You have earned a rest!

    “I have work still to do helping innocents, as well as supporting others doing the same, I hope my spirit is enough to carry me through this dark age…” YES, Spirit will carry YOU – is carrying you, has always carried you. You are protected and supported. Take rest and refuge in the calm reservoir of your accumulated good works/deeds.

    LOVE to YOU and your Family (furry and all).

    Susan

    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity

    Clover. RESCUED July 2015 – found in a box with 11 other puppies at Farmers Market. Spent all of October 2021 trying to save her life. She passed on October 27, 2021. Heartbroken. Sad.

    Gary reminds me that the need is great….there is surely ONE more waiting for me.
