“Your flow chart is too linear and logical with a beginning and an exit
It needs to be more circular and illogical with no exit! Lol!”I hear ya, WES, but illogic is what most people are currently experiencing, having no bearings other than last night’s TV news broadcast. My goal was to put things in context and show from higher vantage point that there is a method to all this madness.
I put this together yesterday and decided to just go ahead and post it in the comment section for your entertainment:
Nice twist on sterilization. I had to read it twice to make sure I got the joke correctly the first time. 😊
~~~
Jim Kunstler has a great essay this morning, weaving the ‘Mass Formation’ theory of Belgian professor Mattias Desmet into both the Trump presidency and the Covid pandemic. I was greatly impressed by this theory when it was first linked here by one of our commenters, probably germ. Since then, I’ve seen his theory receive a tremendous amount of exposure and amplification in alt-media, which it richly deserves.
No worries. I’m sorry if you felt singled out. The hubris from our technocracy has been red-lining lately, and I seized upon your Carl Sagan quote as an excuse to pounce. I actually liked the guy, and I’m sure he did a lot of good. On the flip side, as one of the high priests of science, I wonder how many promising ideas he crushed along the way, and how many careers he held back with a “thumbs down” from his high perch?
I guess what really got me going were all the articles I’ve seen lately on the wonders of transhumanism, space colonies, thought reading AI, downloading consciousness into an android body in order to extend one’s lifespan, and other baloney. Talk about getting too far over one’s skis. It’s as if they received a spark off Franklin’s kite key, and now they’re suddenly Dr Frankenstein reanimating the stitched members of dead corpses.
It’s as silly as it sounds. They have no idea how life works or where consciousness originates. They think that by describing what they see under their microscopes they understand. Not only do they believe they understand, but they can improve it too. And now that they’ve got it all figured out, being on the very threshold of godhood, it’s time to take charge of the entire global population and show them how happy life will be after an all-expense paid ride through their transhumanism meat-grinder.
“Even these stars, which seem so numerous, are, as sand, as dust, or less than dust, in the enormity of the space in which there is nothing. Nothing!” – Carl Sagan
Wrong! Spoken like a true physicalist. Sagan had a knack for making nonsense like the Big Bang sound profound. If space is empty, as he claimed, how could light propagate across its vastness without a wave medium? If oceanic waves require water (H2O), what do electromagnetic waves require?
And what about all the elements in our periodic table, some of which were used to form the lunar lander. What keeps each individual aluminum atom functioning, like miniature perpetual motion machines in the so-called vacuum of space? Does each contain a subatomic battery that never runs down, year after year, eon after eon? Or is each powered by a continuous flow of primordial atoms that circulates from the highest to the lowest dimension and back again, penetrating and powering all physical matter?
No, that can’t be it, otherwise our super-schmart scientists would’ve discovered it already. Science certainly has its place, and I’m grateful for it, but it also has its limits. Rather than admit these limits, scientists continually promote crackpot theories as truth to explain all they cannot see, measure, or fathom.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
With due respect to those who have already fallen victim to the vaccine rollout, I can’t imagine a better stroke of good fortune than having the actual vaccines be the weakest link in the Great Reset plan of a global digital ID system. That, and the fact that Fauci’s Wuhan bioweapon turned out to be a dud.
Just think of where we’d be if either the bioweapon was more dangerous or pharma’s jabs actually worked? There would’ve been little time and even less justification to mount an effective resistance to their Great Reset blitzkrieg. Before we knew what was happening, we would’ve been run over by the WEF steamroller. Instead, we’ve been handed a gift, an opening in which to gather our forces and mount a defense.
Sure, like you, I would much rather be doing something else with my precious time, instead of going over battle plans every day and flying through thick layers of propaganda flak. But this is our time. This is our great battle. Wishing it were not so will not make it go away.
Behold the equivalent of the digital ID system:
“Wow. Robert Malone used the phrase ‘intentional communities.””
It’s my opinion that Dr. Malone has had quite the crash course over the past 2 years, rubbing shoulders with many important figures around the world who have educated him on how the Matrix operates. He states that it all began when asked by RFK Jr (Morpheus) to review his new book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health (the red pill), in effect triggering a depression.
I try to watch any of his interviews that become available, as it appears that he is becoming a central credible figure in the opposition to Big Pharma’s vaxximania, not to mention the current thrust toward global totalitarianism.
Correction:
The link to the Mass Formation discussion came from today’s Howard Kunstler’s article, not a recent post on TAE.
The date of the cartoon was Feb 13th not 14th.
While watching the Professor Mattias Desmet video on Mass Formation posted above, he mentioned the French Dreyfus Affair at about the 53:19 mark when making a point. Being curious, I looked it up to do some more reading and came across this old cartoon from the Le Figaro Monday 14 February 1898.
I hope that this image will post, as it represents the scene at many a Thanksgiving dinner this year due to the Covid psyop. Even the poor dog was not immune to the fracas that ensued when the divisive topic was broached:
“… if this signal is strong and if it’s correct then history will not be on their side, and the public will not forgive them for it.”
Dr. Aseem Malhotra did a great job of tiptoeing around this explosive subject and I applaud his courage for speaking up. He mentions that a poor lifestyle due to the lockdowns may be a contributing factor in the recent scourge of heart attacks, but this can’t explain all the footballers collapsing on field in their prime. Notice how the telltale smile starts when Dr. Malhotra begins his comments on the possibility of lifestyle being the cause. He knows that this alternate hypothesis is just column fodder that needed to be added in order to soften the blow of his original claim.
We all know what the problem is, but few are willing step forward to take the full wrath of Big Pharma. And in all likelihood, when the tide finally turns, and the general public begins to awaken from their media-induced psychosis, there will be hell to pay. The globalists will then have to return to the drawing board so as to craft a new plan to institute their digital ID system. Alas, more delays to global domination, and with the more wary public no less.
“Former WHO Director Warns Making Vaccines Mandatory Could Cause Riots (SN)”
Isn’t it interesting how vocal one can be once out of office, being relieved of “official capacity”? Yet, those in office are completely muzzled, having to toe the line on messaging (aka lying).

HOST: “we’re going to start with hors d’oeuvres in the garage. You know, we’ll have drinks, we’ll do our rapid tests, and then come on in.”
GUEST: “F*ck this sh*t, honey, I’m going home.”
WES:
I have no idea where this talent comes from, and how one culture could excel to such a high degree in its expression. Even now, Germany is pretty much the EU. They set the direction and policy. They are the heavyweight in the room.
I grew up in the Detroit region, where many Germans fled after the war to work for the auto companies, where there seemed to be a machine shop on every block. Sadly, cars never did much for me. I saw them merely as a means to get from point A to B. Both my brother and I were attracted to electronics right out of the gate, and we both ended up moving west to build our careers in microelectronics. I chose electronics out of necessity; he chose it out of love. While I was out fishing with my buddies at the lake, he would be in the basement trying to get an army surplus radar system working.
My real love was philosophy, although a natural idiot in that area. I wanted to know how life worked. I was drawn to the eastern wisdom traditions, and remember being mesmerized by shows like the original Kung Fu with David Carradine. I retired much too early from my career in order to focus primarily in this area of study. I liked the challenge of microelectronics, worked with good people, but found it sterile and meaningless. I have less money, but would not change of thing, and often feel overwhelmed with the riches I’ve been able to acquire on this path less taken.
Yes, a great photo of VP and his mate. A long and happy life to you both.
@Polder Dweller
As to you your five German colleagues drinking the Covid Kool-Aid… I’m reminded of the old joke: “You can always tell a German, but you can’t tell him much.”
Being half-German myself, it gave me the innate skills to be a good engineer. My brother and I (both engineers) were always taking our toys apart to figure out how they worked. On the flip side, it also gave me many weaknesses and blind spots, one of which was a tendency for black/white thinking, allowing any pesky doubts to easily be chased away with a huff of certainty. Having a mother who was raised in Nazi Germany probably didn’t help. We kids would sometimes tease her by goose-step around the house when she blasted her German music on the Hi-Fi. There were only two ways of looking at things: her way and the wrong way.
Still, a call like you describe would leave me a bit shaken, and cause me to reexamine the facts once again. Which brings me to Herr Fauci, the king of the gas-lighters. Isn’t he a wonder to behold? I guess that’s why he’s paid so much. Like Tom Selleck selling reverse-mortgages on TV, with a mustache like that they just gotta be legit.
I came across this gem yesterday and felt it might be helpful to some in the TAE community who are struggling to adapt to recent changes in their level of awareness:
Climbing The Ladder of Awareness
And being the non-compliant (stubborn) type, unwilling to be classified or forced into a box, I seem to have gone down both the “outer path” and “inner path” to cope with my own newly acquired awareness, although the inner path has always been my default, or innate preference.
Keep in mind that this “Ladder of Awareness” is a crude representation of a process that is extremely complex – the evolution of consciousness. Using myself an example, I’m certain that in most areas I am still “Dead asleep” (Stage 1), whereas in some others I am approaching a system-level (Stage 5) awareness.
No worries. These are difficult times, and it’s not easy keeping our frustration in check… said the guy who smashed at least two malfunctioning telephone answering machines into the pavement.
From Fabio Vighi’s THE CENTRAL BANKERS’ LONG COVID: AN INCURABLE CONDITION linked by @laffin_boy in comment #93240 :
“Italian writer Ennio Flaiano once said that the fascist movement is made of two groups: the fascists, and the anti-fascists. Today, when most self-proclaimed anti-fascists are quietly or enthusiastically supporting the medically driven authoritarian turn, this paradox is more relevant than ever.”
What’s another name for “anti-fascists” that unknowingly support a fascist movement?
Useful idiots – those easily swayed by govt propaganda to act against their own self-interest. Which currently happens to be many of our family, friends, and neighbors.
I thought this recent talk by Catherine Austin Fitts contained a lot of “good medicine” for navigating our current dilemma.
“Now Germany Is Set Make Covid Vaccinations Compulsory (DM)”
And woe to any citizen who even thinks about hiding an unvaxxed Jew in their attic.
without institutionalized FEAR the masses may become enlightened, turn, & burn THEIR charade into ash.
Nice recovery, VP! Good to have you back in the pink (or is it red). In the game of life, I’ve discovered that a fighting spirit trumps despair every time.
“I have never worked with people [w/Fauci, Birx, & Redfield] at this level in my career, and I’m not saying at a high level, I’m saying at a low level … I’m not sure these people could have been assistant professors where I worked.”
How can this be explained, that people of such inferior quality are holding such high positions in these Health institutions?
Answer: The institution is captured. The leadership of that institution has been put in place, and is currently maintained, to serve the needs of interests other than said institution. This problem now exists wherever you look, BTW, even with heads of state.
~~~
Gary, I second the supportive comments written by others. In them you will find many years of hard-won wisdom.
Here is mine: In my late thirties, after a painful back surgery and divorce, I learned that carrying the weight of the world on my puny shoulders was self-destructive, and a fool’s errand. The burden of responsibility for things outside my control was further lightened when I learned that there existed above me a hierarchy of highly advanced beings, one of whom stooped so low as to explain to me the current circumstances of my own little life, forever changing it like Morpheus’ red pill. He never told me what to do, but only explained where I was at that time.
Lest you think it was only kind words from some old sage, this particular communication was given with a power, clarity, and force that went directly to the inner core, bypassing all the ordinary physical senses we normally rely on. I learned then that the Universe rests on stronger shoulders than my own, and that nothing escapes their penetrating gaze.
A USA Today poll shows that Biden’s approval has sunk to 38%. The trend line here is truly devastating. We can speculate why. Inflation plays a role. But also the vaccine mandate seems to have hit the Biden approval rating very hard.
Like Hillary, Biden’s so-called popularity was always a media created façade, which only needed the honest breezes of reality to topple. Even now, the only thing keeping the masses from demanding his removal is the non-stop cheer-leading and protection of corporate media.
He has always been a lying, pompous, plagiarizing, preening, corrupt, hair-sniffing, perverse, political hack, eager to abuse his power by fingering young interns in the hallway and then threatening them with destruction when they resist his brutish attempts – the kind of politician that predatory credit card companies slobber over.
Like Hillary, nobody came to his rallies except media flunkies who were unlucky enough to draw the short straw. He is not a leader. He has no vision. And with the onset of dementia, he can barely function in the office that the global shadow govt gave him.
Don’t be fooled, his presidency is no different than Weekend at Bernie’s. If it were not for the corporate media propping up his every failure, he would immediately fold like a cheap card table.
“Interim data from ongoing trials [of Paxlovid] demonstrated an 89% reduction in the risk of Covid-19-related hospitalisation or death compared to a placebo, in non-hospitalised high-risk adults with Covid-19 within three days of symptom onset, said Pfizer.”
89%… ok, ok, sounds good, “said Pfizer”, SCREEECH! Auto-erase!
Sorry, I don’t pay any attention to people who continually tell lies. I may be a slow learner, but eventually I do catch on. It’s the same reason I don’t follow media news sources anymore. Even college textbooks today are mostly bullshit, having been captured by corporate interests. The more rabbit holes you explore, the more corruption and lies, lies, lies you find. So much falsehood, so much corruption, so little love. What will it take before people say, “Enough!”?
Answer: More pain and suffering.
Problem is, by the time a Bastille moment is finally reached, a goodly amount of anger and frustration has accumulated, looking for a target to unleash it upon. That’s when you see what a real purge looks like. Where no bunker is so deep or no island so remote that retribution’s hand can’t find it.
@MPSK,
Thanks for The Slog “Civil War” link. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For a “housewife”, whose “work-day is a tissue of trivial, repetitive tasks of the sort given to POWs to break their morale”, she is amazingly well informed and writes in a clever and humorous style, comparable to a female Matt Taibbi.
“It was often said that Trump was the most divisive president ever, but then we got Biden, whose divisions are dangerous and often permanent.”
MPSK, I believe that most Trump haters conflated the media narrative with the man. Sure, Trump said many provocative things when given the podium, but many Americans found this refreshing, because he was giving voice to their day-to-day concerns, concerns which the media ignored for decades.
Personally, I couldn’t stand to listen to him for more than 30 seconds, just as I would run from any bore at a party who insisted on fluffing his ego at my expense. Yet, watching from a distance at all the media gyrations, it was evident that their assigned mission was to destroy Trump by any means possible: lies, half-truths, slanders, misquotes, etc. Essentially, whipping their audience into a witch-burning frenzy each and every news cycle.
It became clear early on that the divisiveness was being created and fed primarily by the media. I blame them for most of the hatred, division, and hysteria that we currently see around us. Watching many friends and family become brainwashed by the media psyops the past few years has been both painful and educational, causing me to question many of my own long-held beliefs, asking whether they were implanted unconsciously by some external authority or the result of my own thoughtful analysis.
Of course, the media is only an instrument of propaganda and social control owned by the oligarchs. Which is why I keep coming back to the hypothesis of a rich cabal currently attempting to institute an authoritarian global government as the primary driving force.
“The Media’s Epic Fail On The Steele Dossier (Axios)”
From the article:
Why it matters: It’s one of the most egregious journalistic errors in modern history, and the media’s response to its own mistakes has so far been tepid.
I always get a kick out of headlines like this, essentially giving the impression that the media really dropped the ball on this one. Oopsie Daisy! Journalistic “errors”, “mistakes”, give me a break. Why not just get right to the point, instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt? Maybe because calling it like it is could boomerang on Axios itself, including all journalism? That would certainly be bad for business.
In other words, why call it a “Fail” when media’s primary job is to hide the truth from the public. I would call that a “Success”. Whenever they do tell the truth about something, that when I become suspicious. But that’s just me.
Anecdotal:
My son caught Fauci’s weaponized virus a few days ago from a coworker and started the FLCCC protocol immediately upon having symptoms. A Covid home test provided by a doctor aunt confirmed his fears. A big fan of Joe Rogan, he tracked down a hospital that would give him the antibody infusion and was able to get an appt for this morning.
I texted a while ago to see how he was doing. He said there was an older gentleman sitting next to him (late 60’s) who was very sick from Covid. The old guy was a bit pissed that he had both vaccines plus the booster and still got sick. I wrote back that appears to validate the Iceland Covid graph I has sent earlier.
My son feels tired, knows he is sick, but is doing pretty well so far. He’s the first in our family to get it, so I’m watching carefully to see how he does.
Concerning the Dr. Shankara Chetty “endgame” video:
When Covid started taking on a political bent in early 2020 my spidey senses began to tingle. That’s when I noticed the “lock-step” aspect, in which a multitude of nations seemed to be saying the same things and implementing similar pandemic policies, such as masks, lockdowns, and crushing small businesses.
From there it progressed to unmistakable VAERS signals, censorship, deplatforming, changing definitions, mandates, vaccine passports, scapegoating the unvaccinated, vaccine failures, booster programs, etc. – essentially doubling and tripling down in the face of catastrophic failure.
In so-called spiritual matters I’ve learned that if things don’t make sense at one level, then the solution must be looked for at a higher level. For example, the problem of earthly justice can more easily be explained when karma and reincarnation are considered.
And so it goes with political matters. When nothing seems to make sense on the ground (the national level), then the answers lie elsewhere (the global level). One must look higher up the power structure.
Lately, I’ve started to entertain the possibility that there may be powerful people in this world who believe that depopulation is the answer to all our problems. Like the character Thanos from the Avenger movies, they believe they are called to carry out a special mission of planetary genocide – the heavy burden of destroying life to save the planet.
It’s funny how art often imitates life.
I had the same experience during my summer travels. Being unplugged from the Matrix for several years, it was pretty disturbing having to rub shoulders with it for a few weeks. Even while in the car, my brother-in-law would tune the radio to CNN or MSNBC like an addict needing a fix. If that wasn’t bad enough, I then had to listen to them parrot back all the media talking points that were recently implanted deep in their minds.
Oh, the humanity!
“The Awakening Conference – Breaking the Spell”
Wow, the website said the conference is sold out. That’s a good sign. Wish I could attend too, but coming to TAE each day has been the same as having a front row seat. And all here would agree that your contributions have been pivotal and much appreciated.
Went to an anti-vaccine-mandate rally yesterday. Hadn’t done anything like that since OWS. I hate being the first one to a party, but left early anyway just in case. Was pleased to see the parking lot was already half full when I arrived, with cars parked alongside the road and people milling about holding placards with various messages. My favorite: “Arrest Fauci”. “OK”, I thought, “so far so good”.
Getting there early allowed me to start conversations with several attendees before the speaker program started. I was curious to find out how many of these people were aware that Covid was being used as a pretext for a much more dangerous global power grab, or was their focus merely on the injustice of the vaccine mandates? Their response would represent the current insight of my local community, as compared to a highly-informed online group like TAE.
What a joy it was to hear them echo the same ideas and concerns that we discuss right here. Everyone I approached seemed a bit hesitant to talk at first, which is natural because of all the division and hatred that has been sowed by the media the past few years, but after a couple minutes of comparing notes, everyone opened up more freely with their personal thoughts. What really gave me hope was hearing how many had stopped watching any TV news, deciding instead to do their own research online.
One of our local state rep’s really fired up the crowd. To paraphrase one of her key points, she said, “I can tell you exactly how government works. If there is no push-back from the people to their current policies, they will move on to the next stage of their plan. You can bet that there is more coming if you don’t put a stop to it now.”
It was a great experience that gave me hope. In fact, I see the beginnings of a great awakening and transformation. The speed and breadth of the establishment’s ideological power overreach has jarred the sensibilities of the masses. There is no doubt that battle lines are being formed, and opposition to the advancing tyranny is growing at an exponential rate.
“M. C. Escher Relativity Lattice 1953”
I thought Ilargi’s choice of artwork is a good metaphor for our current situation, where it is difficult for the average person to get his bearings – up is down and down is up. As Piers Robinson said in the interview posted by Germ, “We’re really living in a world where it’s very difficult for people to work out the truth of what’s going on.”
Was pondering this morning, where would we be if the vaccines had actually been safe and effective? There’s a good chance that we would all be vaccinated by now, and their “vaccine passport” -> Digital ID agenda would be well on its way. I’m sorry that so many are being injured and killed by the vaccines, but without this ‘glitch’ in the plan, the opposition currently growing and pushing back would’ve never had the chance to build, and would’ve been steamrolled into submission long ago.
TAE commenters have been hitting the ball into every inch of the park at will, then up steps TAE Summary with a bases-loaded grand slam! The crowd rises to its feet with a mighty roar!
“All Fauci has ever done is lie. And he’s America’s national doctor!”
This point came up during the Sunday morning call with my parents. “How is he able to keep his job when all his policies have been a disaster, and everything he says is lie?”, was the question they asked. I replied that there are people more powerful than Fauci that want him there. They know all about the failures, deaths, injuries, ruined businesses, suicides, etc., but they just don’t care.
Why don’t they care? Because their focus is on something much larger than the pandemic. The pandemic is a side-show distraction compared to what they are attempting to accomplish – the complete reorganization of society based on the establishment of a global AI-assisted surveillance technocracy. Did you think that the breakdown of national borders and sovereignty over the past decade was accidental?
There are a thousand Fauci’s occupying key positions in politics, media, central banks, NGO’s, and so-called billionaire charitable foundations. And all whisper to each other “Hail Hydra” in their secret meetings and halls of power. They’ve all signed up to the same ideology and goals. Convince me that I’m wrong. That these are all just coincidences. That it’s only a pharma money grab. That the BLM movement was grass-roots, and pallets of bricks materialized magically out of the ether, all while law enforcement was told to “stand down”. That a washed-out, senile, unpopular plagiarist won ten million more votes than the silver-tongued saint Obama, without even a platform or campaign?
Meanwhile, truth and actual science are suppressed, censored, and attacked. And diktats fly from dark towers like the winged monkeys of Oz.
Sure, it’s only a pandemic and things will return to normal once it’s over.
We are watching the Empire construct their Death Star right out in the open. Do you really want to wait until it’s fully operational before putting up a fight?
I second @teri in thanking Ilargi for posting the Libya story, and appreciate the additional comments she provided.
Libya is a good object lesson for what the US empire and its private banking interests represent – the death and destruction of anyone or any country that dares get in the way of their plans for total global hegemony or “full spectrum dominance”. Even the mythical Shangri-La would be blown to smithereens if it provided an alternative that appeared threatening to their global power.
Remember this when you see idealized images of American democracy and leadership portrayed in movies and television. When politicians take to the podium to blather about American values and apple pie. It’s all a lie designed to keep you ignorant, complacent, and patriotic. It’s the candy shell of a poison pill, the smiling mask of a global wealth extraction machine that consumes all nations and all peoples.
So, let’s extrapolate from here based on what we know so far. Would morals and ethics present a hinderance or check on their thirst for more power and control? How about laws? No? Then free your imagination to realize that anything is possible at this point, even the forced assignment of personal digital ID’s or the culling of the global population if it furthers their plans.
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
It’s quite the sociological experiment being carried out right before our very eyes. If your eyes are like mine, they keep blinking, wondering if they are really seeing what they’re seeing. Do we accept what authorities are telling us, despite it being continually disproven day after day, or do we trust our own senses, trust our own ability to make sense of the world around us? It’s times like these when we get to discover what we’re made of, whether of paper or iron.
As in the Asch Conformity Experiment, do we bow to social pressure and give the answer they demand, or do we stand our ground and give the answer our senses tell us is correct, thereby inviting disapproval, condemnation, and possible retribution?
“‘Terrible Mistake’ Could Send Execs To Jail Over Vaccine Certificates (AFR)”
I don’t think so. Or haven’t you noticed that laws are selectively enforced? And change from day to day, depending on what is needed to push forward their agenda? If you cooperate with the program, you are immune from prosecution. However, if you resist or get in the way, you will be punished to the full extent of
the lawtheir displeasure. See Julian Assange.“In an unusual twist to the strength of the multinationals, many large corporations are worried they will lose critical employees to smaller organizations with less than 100 employees who do not have to enforce the national worker vaccine mandate.”
Case in point. Why get hung up over some silly number that can be changed on a whim. Currently the mandate states 100 employees is the cutoff, tomorrow we will change it to 50, or maybe even 25. How about no exemptions? See how easy that was? Not only do we selectively enforce laws, but we make them up on the fly as needed.
“How many years of people dying from jabs will it take before .gov looks in that direction?”
When will my pimp start to show me some respect?
When will the school bully stop taking my lunch money?Ronald Reagan once said, “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Our current circumstances clearly illustrate this point. However, from their perspective you are also looked at as a problem that must be managed so as to not interfere in their affairs. Consequently, one only gets their attention when a gun is put to their head.
“I think anybody who seeks the purpose of life becomes aware sooner or later that the object of their search lies entirely in the spiritual sphere.”
The answer is, and has always been right in front of you, chooch. The purpose of life is to serve life. There is no need to seek for it on higher planes when it is all around you. Whether you occupy a higher or lower plane, the purpose is the same.
“This means of course that the FDA, CDC, and their outside committees are all incompetent in their ability to spot safety signals.”
Let’s not sugar coat this. It’s not that they can’t spot the safety signals, they’re doing everything they can to suppress them. They’re not stupid or incompetent, just amoral, unprincipled, greedy, corrupt, evil. They see the signals just like the tobacco companies saw lung cancer and lied about it for years, using every trick in the book to extend profits, while hiding the fact that their products were destroying lives.
Oh, the joys of corporate white-collar crime! We can make a ton of money to buy up our competitors and regulators, kill some folks, maybe have stockholders pay a small fine, and never have to face any personal legal consequences. So what if we have to double up on the Ambien to sleep at night, we’re rich!
Meanwhile, the poor, fatherless, ghetto schmuck gets 10 years in prison for selling a bag of crack.
