The hysteria lurking around the edges of these comments is the fact that the US government and by extension the Western Empire has failed. You are on your own. All of the pandemic proclamations, mandates, and passports are pointless. mRNA vaccines are non-sterilizing. Being vaccinated may or may not save your life and lessen the severity of COVID-19 but being jabbed itself carries risks and repeated booster shots will be required. The basic problem is that the actual risks are a known unknown. Corporate news is pure propaganda.
In the West everything comes down to, if it makes money it has value, if it does not it is valueless. Therefore the public health system in the USA has collapsed. The privatized healthcare system is collapsing. Today’s doctors, nurses and hospitals cannot fight the pandemic because that requires big bucks to build new hospital beds, keeping unvaccinated workers and children safe, contact tracing, quarantines and treating the riff-raff that can’t breathe. Keeping the public alive and healthy will never be profitable like elective surgery.
“13 Miami-Dade School Staffers Have Died Of COVID-19 Since Mid-August.” “7 die in ‘inhumane’ warehouse conditions after Hurricane Ida.” These are combat level of deaths. 13 died in the withdrawal from Kabul. The USA remains #1 in the world in COVID-19 Total Deaths and New Deaths intentionally. Profits are way more important to the global corporate/state than American lives. The US government is too corrupt and incompetent to eradicate coronavirus like China, Taiwan and New Zealand are doing.
Life is a risk. I am very lucky to still be here but with costs. To stay sane humans minimize the risks of eating, shelter, reproduction and raising families. Then there is the constant human warfare to take others’ resources. Russian Roulette is apt metaphor for the world under the rule of the western neoliberal cult. Multi-nationals are using the coronavirus pandemic to get richer at the expense over everyone else. The actual risks of death and lifetime disabilities from COVID-19 and/or the for-profit mRNA vaccines are hidden by big lie propaganda, useless mandates, and scapegoating the unvaccinated. The US Public Health System that minimizes the risks of illness to the nation’s population is no longer functional. All this for the very few.
Either there is a new Reformation to take control of government from the greedy indulgent Upper-class and its Overseers for the people or western civilization collapses into chaos.
Thanks for linking to Gail Tverberg’s article “COVID-19 Vaccines Don’t Really Work as Hoped”. This clearly explains my hesitancy about getting vaccinated.
The West’s current predicament is due to predatory capitalism that depends on repeated payday loans for treatments not a onetime remittance for a cure. The big lie propaganda and scapegoating the unvaccinated are an inevitable part of the attempt to keep the scam going. Public Health is now an oxymoron. Criminal Wealthy, the Sackler Family, who profited from the Opioid Crisis keep their billions of dollars and avoid jail time. Shortages are growing due to missing workers. Crashing US life expectancy is breeding chaos. In the end, unpayable loans aren’t going to be paid.
Unless there is a Reformation, Western Civilization falls. The succession of American States is already within sight.
This post is like one of Sherlock Holmes’s crime stories about dogs not barking.
The first one being silenced is the fact that the acknowledge side effects of the vaccine a) boys heart inflammation and b) young women’s blood clotting are subsets of the COVID-19’s pathology. This can only be due to the coronavirus spike protein. Either the mRNA vaccine travels to these sites within days of the injection, or the spike protein assembled in cells at the injection site travel throughout the body. The second silenced truth is the failure of the West to close its borders and its utter incompetence at doing the most basic of public health measures. Testing is a debacle in the USA. The CDC ended masking and social distancing just as the Delta Variant entered the US since its models said next month coronavirus would be gone. Instead, two teachers died in Texas this week due to reopening schools.
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/957992?src=WNL_mdpls_210903_mscpedit_fmed&uac=27074HJ&spon=34&impID=3613360&faf=1In fact, a whole pack of dogs aren’t barking. Since 9/11, no US General or political appointee has been removed due to corruption, military defeat, or the crash in American’s life expectancy. In addition, climate change extreme weather events are occurring nationwide; Drought along the Colorado River, Walls of Water and Tornadoes hitting Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York yesterday, Louisiana crippled by the sixth hurricane in little over a year, Greenville, CA burned down, and South Lake Tahoe evacuated.
The actual but unannounced official reigning policy is “Let ‘er Rip”. Profits matter more than human life.
I hope that I am not the only one but Singapore’s decision to give up “zero Covid” is frightening. They did eradicate the Wuhan variant. But the delta variant is not just killing off old folks but the young are getting sick and dying too. This policy is “let ‘er rip”. “Profits over lives.” Under it everyone sooner or later will catch Coronavirus. Mitigating the virus with mRNA vaccines alone has proven not to work. It is strange that these highly vaccinated nations deny that the mRNA vaccines are involved in their spiking number of cases. Not to mention the side effects from the vaccines themselves.
Controlling the virus with public health measures continues in China, Taiwan and New Zealand. If there was a treatment that mitigates the virus, lessening some public health measures maybe practical but there is a concerted effort to prevent the use of off-label generic drugs in order to increase Pharmaceutical profits. This is further proof that either the pandemic was intentional or they simply do not know what they are doing. Either case, the current western predatory capitalistic system needs to go.
Western Civilization is about to fall off the edge. At this end stage, there can only be two explanations. Either the ruling classes have a plan which includes the coronavirus pandemic to survive the reset (overpopulation, resource decline and climate change on a single finite planet) which has not yet leaked to the public or they know not what they do.
Without truth and the free discussion of the facts, the world becomes inexplicable. Together with the cult beliefs that there is no such thing as society and money is the sole determinate of merit; utter incompetence is built in. If it is all lies, nothing works. The forever wars are unwinnable. At least one occupation has ended after 20 years.
It is clear now that the mRNA vaccines will not eradicate coronavirus or even mitigate the illness plus they are not “safe”. Blood clotting and heart inflammation are acknowledged side effects. Efficacy declines. Boosters are needed. Transmission is not prevented and may even increase viral load in vaccinated breakthrough COVID patients. Yet, the corporate state silences anyone who points this out in public.
The graph above of the daily new COVID cases indicates that blaming the unvaccinated for the spike of the delta variant is pure propaganda. The spikes could be due to the mRNA vaccines themselves. The highly vaccinated nations Israel, UK (and also Iceland) and the moderately vaccinated USA have spikes in COVID cases yet relatively unvaccinated India where the delta variant originated; cases spiked, declined and have plateaued. This plateau could be due to some states in India not using Ivermectin.
These are just observations. The CDC testing/reporting debacle, tribalism and corporate “profit over lives” reign in the USA makes determining the truth almost impossible. Americans are on their own with a dysfunctional US government.
The US Gulf Coast is close to being uninhabitable unless you have enough money to build a hurricane proof house with supplies and generators that will be off the grid for months. The rest will move out and those left to extract resources will revert to third world rebuildable shacks. This is also true for those living in or near Western North American forests due to wildfires and toxic air.
As Dr. D linked, the Saudis signed a Military Cooperation Agreement with Russia at the same time as the fall of Kabul. This is not happenstance. Nor is the inability to exterminate coronavirus. Western governments have ceased to function. Democracy and the rule of law has been flushed down the toilet as oligarchs and cultists wanted. The resulting corporate state has one and only one goal, make the rich richer.
Lies, lies, lies and lies destroyed the Soviet Union. And so too the United States of America. The utter incompetence isn’t a conspiracy of the best and brightest, it is dumb and dumbest getting paid not to see the truth. The powerful and arrogant thought they could create their own reality. Instead, the Western Empire is no more.
Mother Nature is laughing at human beings for burning millions of years of fossil fuel in 300 years. 16 Years after Hurricane Katrina, to the day, Gulf Coast Residents confront disaster with the landfall of Category 4 Hurricane Ida. Five Hurricanes hit Louisiana last year.
Chaos rules the West.
No officers especially Marines were fired in Vietnam for opening their mouths instead they said what they thought “We had to destroy the village to save it”. It was the draftees after the Tet Offensive who knew the war was unwinnable who refused orders, got high and fragged officers. Yes, a former Navy Lieutenant John Kerry said: ‘How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?’ but decades later as Secretary of State he was a team member in the campaign to overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad which failed spectacularly.
The mistakes are cascading. Starting with ending the draft and off-shoring jobs, the Regan/Thatcher birthed corporate state (the Western Empire) turned PR messaging into big lie propaganda to misinform and hide the truth from Americans since they don’t matter at all to global oligarchs. Professional managers, to advance, must believe the propaganda; breeding utter incompetence and clueless arrogance.
This has culminated in the failed coronavirus pandemic response. It is very hard to hide swamped emergency rooms and intensive care units, quarantined classrooms — the dead and ill. Yet the USA continues to solely push for-profit mRNA jabs even though deaths are spiking in highly vaccinated Israel. The US military couldn’t depart Kabul without casualties. Even TAE participants sort of disbelieve that the western system is crashing hard. Yes, it is. Regional wildfires, wall of water floods, shortages, and missing workers indicate that the reset button has been pushed. Chaos is coming except for China, New Zealand and Taiwan as long as their governments continue to eradicate the virus.
@Raul
“What happens to governments when their lies become self evident”Thanks to regional wildfires, wall of water floods, missing workers, collapse of just-in-time logistics, debt that can never be paid, the Decline of the Western Empire and the Fall of Kabul plus the inability to eradicate coronavirus, there will be a system reset. Globalists are so arrogant and unaware that they think they will control it and will keep getting monetary hits forever. They simply cannot conceive that there will be no safe place for them. But, for example, if there is a succession of the American States as the result of multinational corporations’ divide and rule exploitation, any gold in Caribbean offshore banks is sure to be seized by the nuclear armed new Confederation of South Georgia and Florida. Will England fire their nuclear weapons to protect their offshore banks?
If democracy, public health, and the rule of law are not restored and if there is no nuclear/climate change extinction event; what will be left will be a handful of highly unequal unstable Brazil like nuclear armed nations; surrounded by cartel or cult run city states and an armed No Man’s Land in between. Mostly “Mad Max” with no gasoline. And there will be the coronavirus free China civilization.
Global Private Jet Set cluelessness can’t be better shown than by VP Kamala Harris laying the wreath at the memorial in Hanoi honoring the shooting down Senator John McCain 54 years ago.
You definitely have legal grounds to reject the mandatory injection of Pfizer’s vaccine Emergency Approved Product. The problem is that as individuals alone, the powerful will play whack a mole with you. Mandates will be issued. Insurance rates for the un-vaxxed doubled or tripled and medical care denied. It will be weeks or even months before the BioNTech’s Comirnaty vaccine labeled vials (just starting to come off the production line) will be ready for injection. It will take lawyers familiar with the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act to challenge the Biden Administrations actions. The federal law that I was familiar with made it illegal to substitute a registered product with an unregistered one. But then it was also impossible to get a full registration for food use without mutagenicity, teratology, reproductive, and chronic toxicity/oncogenicity studies.
It is mind bloggling that over half of all Americans have been injected with substances without these studies and then US government grants full approval not even requiring them to be conducted and submitted at a later date. American people’s health and safety is of no concern today only global corporate profits.
After this, coronavirus running wild, and the Kabul FUBAR, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris couldn’t be elected dog catchers. Democracy and the rule of law are done for. The next US Presidential election will be decided by violence.
The FDA approval of “Comirnaty” vaccine stinks to high heaven. If for no other reason than it was approved without a public hearing that they said earlier would be held.
This documents that greed trumps science — profits outweigh public safety. There are known risks from injecting the product and possible unknown reproductive and long-term risks plus questions about the duration of effectiveness and the degree of prevention of transmission, if any. All left unaddressed. The US federal government intentionally chose propaganda and gene therapy alone to combat the virus. 649,632 Americans have died as a result.
My guess is that FDA upper management got the blessing from their lawyers to allow the use of the already Pfizer produced vaccine sitting in storage under the Comirnaty vaccine approval without putting new labels on the vials. Likely impossible due to the product ships at 0°C and -60°C (-130°F and -76°F) with dry ice.
Those in the military or working where there is no bubble and weekly tests and who don’t want to risk an injection are in an impossible position. Play Russian Roulette or risk jail/homelessness. Mid-level managers could try threatening a lawsuit by hiring a lawyer or joining a class action lawsuit to see if this mess is legal but they won’t to keep their incomes going. No wonder there is so much cognitive dissonance.
As schools reopen, kids without social distancing, ventilation, air filtration and masks will have classroom outbreaks and bring the Delta variant home. Remote learning has been discontinued. Leaving home schooling as the only alternative. Humans are driven to protect their children. Angry, frightened, trapped people run amok.
A political clean sweep is needed to survive.
The authoritarian corporate state is fully in place in the West. The basic problem is that criminal taking of wealth only works as long as the crooks are allowed to leave devastation in their wake. Kabul fell because the Afghans fought back against the Imperialist imposed corrupt government.
The FDA approval of the marketing of “Comimaty” vaccine without a public hearing was done to avoid discussion of the known risks, unknown long-term risks, the vaccine’s failure to prevent transmission of the virus, and fading efficacy just months after injection. That this for-profit vaccine is the sole US governmental response to the Coronavirus Pandemic plus the rising death toll from the Delta Variant show utter incompetence. Only the restoration of democracy, good governance and the rule of law will avoid chaos and preserve civilization.
When the internet and TAE are silenced, recognize that this is a sign of the final death throes of global predatory capitalism.
Very interesting clips today. Steve Bannon is the one who got Donald Trump elected. Of anybody, he knows what is going on and got indicted because of it. Rachael Maddow is more than a news reader; she lets her Overseer arrogance show through. Her hubris and ignorance are what cements the global meritocracy together. She oozes “Tomorrow belongs to Me”. Clearly anything other than the official message that “mRNA vaccines are safe and effective” is actively censored. Alternative treatments buried. US Delta Variant deaths are starting to climb but there is absolutely no plan to eradicate the virus.
I’ve turned an optimist after reading “Farewell to Bourgeois Kings”.
Farewell to Bourgeois KingsThe challenge is staying alive to observe the fall. Trolls who say that human lives don’t matter spikes the blood pressure. The Fall of Kabul and failure of the US public health system to control coronavirus due to utter incompetence and corruption show that a western system collapse is inevitable. Globalists have lost the “Mandate of Heaven”.
Instead, one can hope there is peaceful restoration of the rule of law, by and for the people, but the extreme offshore wealth of the globalists and the divide and rule propaganda make keeping the States united difficult unless the American people take over and defend the Union.
This is the banality of evil. The Reagan Revolt successfully created the corporate state. There was no march down Constitution Avenue. Instead, the 1% bought the politicians and got fabulously wealthy and sent the money offshore. The revolving door expanded, industry consolidated, civil servants retired, fees for service implemented, corporate regulation died, PR took over, and if paperwork was needed subservient contractors hired to write what the political appointees wanted.
The negotiated withdrawal from Afghanistan is a gigantic SNAFU. All that mattered for the last 20 years was that contractors made lots of money from helping to kill others. The Afghans, a deeply religious rugged mountain people, put a stop to it.
The US public health service has collapsed. The privatized US healthcare system is cruel and deadly. For-profit mRNA vaccines, the one and only response to the pandemic, successfully created at least nine new billionaires.
Hurricane Henri is headed towards Long Island. Wildfires, Toxic Air, Heat Domes, Polar Vortexes, Drought, Floods, Blocked Jet Streams and COVID-19 are the new normal. American deaths and chronic illness are of no consequence.
Unvaccinated deplorables are America’s Mountaineers. The top 1% and their global Overseers will never defeat them. Already workers are missing. There are supply shortages. Only the restoration of the rule of law for all, by and for the people, can prevent succession. If not, Naval Base Kitsap, likely, will be the nuclear deterrence for the new nation of Cascadia.
@Sumac.carol
Your addendum is absolutely true.
All of the forever wars are contract black holes transferring wealth to the global overlords. But never mentioned, for good reason, in corporate propaganda is that the 11-day victory of the Taliban was not the end of a civil war, it was a victory of ethnic religious mountain peoples over enslavement by global corporate/state invaders and their local puppets.
Good government is necessary for civilization to endure. Neo-liberal-cons destroyed American government to get power and riches. With the collapsing of the Western Empire, unless the global criminals are jailed and the rule of law restored; chaos due to climate change, supply shortages and illness will engulf North America. There are Hillbillies in the USA too.
I’ve read too much here. Raul’s post is reality. The problem is corporate propaganda. It’s made its customers zombies. The USA has left behind 11,000 Americans in Afghanistan. This and the failed US public health system are no better proof of the utter corruption, arrogance, and incompetence of the ruling class.
Unvaccinated Americans have been abandoned too. The vaccinated dare not admit to themselves that they are guinea pigs in Phase III trials that are looking more and more like failed experiments.
We are expendable.
As Raul points out so well, mRNA vaccines alone cannot end the pandemic. In highly vaccinated Israel and Iceland, outbreaks of the Delta Variant are stressing their healthcare systems. The vaccinated are contributing to the overwhelming of hospitals in the US delta variant hotspots. Every tool in the public health arsenal is needed to eradicate coronavirus. This requires good government and consent of the governed. Otherwise, the virus rips though the population killing and maiming more Americans for years leaving only survivors. The vaccinated will need booster shots to earn an income.
This is not the sole catastrophe striking the West at the same time.
Kabul is worse than Saigon 1975. Rabble are falling from jet transports taking off. I blogged decades ago that the war was lost. Not that anybody listened. What has fallen is the Western Empire, much like the Soviet Union, defeated by a lost war gone bad and dysfunction government. Hubris, incompetence and delusions reign. Barrack Obama plainly said that Afghanistan was not a Holy War. But the western invaders were defeated by warriors who believe that “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger”.
The current ruling western Insiders know that society does not exist, only merit defined by money matters. A sick defeated nation suffering devastating climate change driven floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires and purposefully divided against itself by Globalists will fall apart. Profiteers profit from it. I am afraid it will be quick and sudden. Isolating in suburbia, I’m still here 18 months into the pandemic but this is untenable in the long-term. I could be around long enough to become another victim.
Years ago, a work colleague with a Russian “mail-order” wife said she told him that the Soviet Union fell because the Russians didn’t believe the lies anymore. 5000 troops back into Kabul, China closing its ports due to COVID, containers stuck in US ports and yards due to the lack of workers, the coronavirus plague, vaccines that don’t block transmission, blaming the unvaccinated, and the extraordinary wildfires destroying West Coast town; the big lies matter now. It is a matter of life and death. The Empire is finished. Americans will find out the truth. The corporate state and the media are losing all trust. The question is can society be rebuilt? Or, is it too late for human civilization to continue? Climate change is becoming too extreme and resources too expensive to extract. Employees risk death and unpayable hospital bills getting the mandated jabs and showing up for work.
I admit to confirmation bias and seeing what my brain wants me to see. I served in the First Cold War and was raised on Ernest Hemingway novels. Unfortunately, I start reading verbose propaganda, stop, skim a little more for a point, not finding any, give up.
The West is at a transition point much like the Soviet Union’s Boris Yeltsin era. Except Donald Trump failed on January 6th due to VP Mike Pence proclaiming Joe Biden President. Like the Soviet Union, the USA is withdrawing from Afghanistan. Like Chernobyl, the Coronavirus Plague shows the US government is fatally dysfunctional.
History rhymes. Everything corporate propaganda says about western democracy is false. The selection of Clinton, Trump or Biden is no choice. But everything the media voices about one party autocratic rule is true.
China is closing its main ports due to COVID, the lack of workers to move containers in the USA, and fear will crater retail sales taking more income with it. The Establishment is blaming everyone else, except themselves. This is a sure-fire way to finish off society. The question becomes how long will the States stay United without sufficient food, clean air and water, healthcare, and shelter.
Boogaloo,
The amazing thing about the private/public propaganda campaign is that it implies the encapsulated mRNA that codes the spike protein is the same as good old fashion vaccines. No. This is way beyond my old pay grade, but as I understand it, Pfizer et al. took the Chinese Wuhan mRNA coronavirus spike protein code and added codes for starting and stopping protein assembly in human cell ribosomes, changed the chemistry to work better, and added the code for a membrane attachment so the spike sticks out of the outer membrane of the hijacked human cells. This is by design. If the spike protein itself or the injected encapsulated mRNA travels outside of the injection site, forming mini blood clots on blood vessel epithelium cells is a possibility. Half of all Americans were injected with only Phase I/II short term data. There is no long-term safety and efficacy data yet from the experimentation on humans. So mini-blood clots could be another adverse side effect of the “vaccines”.
This is all connected. Dr. Charles Hoffe’s hometown of Lytton BC was destroyed by climate change, a Canadian record heat dome driven wildfire, and he could face discipline for spreading COVID-19 misinformation. What is telling, is that a D-dimer blood test could easily be run on current or recovered COVID patients to confirm his hypothesis or not. The Establishment’s hubris and greed is so great it can’t be bothered. But then, unpatentable treatments and basic public health measures are ignored too. Plan A, money making jabs, is it.
Human brains use imprinting, emotion, vision, sound, memories and language to construct a view of the world. If it does not match reality, it causes cognitive dissonance. Brains evolved to avoid unpleasantness, not to remember pain.
In 1975, that image of CIA helicopter evacuating civilians, destroyed my world construct. Up to then I knew the war was unwinnable, afterwards, I was a stranger in a strange land. The war was pointless.
3,000 American troops are going back into Kabul. Ostensibly to withdraw US puppets and military contractors.
Climate change enhanced wildfires, floods, hurricanes are destroying American towns. Unless Methane and CO2 emissions are controlled, the destruction will only escalate.
WaPo: “Spread of delta variant ignites covid hot spots in highly vaccinated parts of the U.S.”
The Western Empire has fallen. The US government cannot protect or serve its people. Private/public propaganda is divorced from reality. Either North America falls apart into sick dysfunctional cartel run city states, or Democracy, the US Constitution and a working Union are restored.
Either you see this or you don’t.
An earlier edit disappeared into the ether; this is another attempt.
In the West there is one and only one plan, inject as many persons as possible to make more money. Inconvenient truths are ignored. Two hypotheses for the charts above could be 1) the Palestinians are isolated behind guarded walls, so it takes time for the virus to transmit from the Jet Set Israelis to the locked-in Palestinians or 2) the vaccines aid the transmission of the virus. Neither will be investigated since they go against vested interests.
Also, Dr. Robert Malone is correct:
1) Dr. Anthony Fauci has two odd, exclusive focuses, focusing on antivirals when this is a hyperinflammatory disease, and we’ve got a lot of great anti-inflammatories. And the other is the focus on hospitalized, as opposed to early-onset patients, outpatients.
2) Instead of admitting they were wrong, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is censoring people by using incredibly powerful new tools to suppress any dissent or discussion.A year and half later the only conclusion is that the health of American people is of no concern. Unpatentable treatments ignored. Basic public health measures never implemented to stop the transmission of the virus. Every death and long-COVID case since celebrating “A Summer of Freedom” last July 4th is upon the CDC and the Biden/Harris White House. That holiday last month seems so long ago.
Having known WWII, Korean and Vietnam Veterans, I never trusted ones who told tall tales, the quiet ones’ eyes told the truth. IM Doc’s post brought tears to my eyes. A first for the thousands of blog posts that I’ve read. This shows the stress isolation produces. Yes, if it has a happy ending, it would make a Hallmark movie.
But last week I realized there will be no happy endings. The mRNA vaccines may or may not extend life and reduce the severity of the disease, but this has yet to be proven. They have no effect on the transmission of the virus. To control the pandemic, democracy and a working public health campaign is needed that commits all the resources available to making the nation’s population healthy once again. The restoration of democracy and the rule of law in the USA is needed. More likely, the global oligarchs will blow things apart to grab the last bit of worldly wealth available.
Lytton BC, Malden WA, Pine City WA, Talent, OR, Vida, OR, and Greenville, CA are towns destroy on the West Coast that I have passed through in my travels. Although my Grandfather survived the Big Burn in Idaho with the clothes on his back, I never grasped how dangerous and fragile existence is until this year as the effects of climate change and the coronavirus pandemic rip across the world.
The ruling western corporate state does not give a damn if the people or the infrastructure survive. Only the restoration of democracy and the rule of law can save western civilization. Fighting fires and disease costs lots of money the Elite do not want to spend.
Ian Welsh’s blog is also flooded by a Tsunami of comments;
This is not a coincidence. It occurred the same week that corporate media had to admit that the fully vaccinated transmit the Delta Variant. The Elite’s money-making scheme of injecting everyone with human engineered spike proteins is not going to work and there is no Plan B. Anyone pointing this out is unacceptable to the profiteers.
If human beings survive and rise to the heights despite themselves, it is because of people like Raul.
The new feudal system is neither progressive nor even liberal; it is incompetent death cult. Just ask yourself, has anything done to fight coronavirus helped you personally? If you are still here and healthy, it is because 1) the pandemic is an overblowm conspiracy that assures that the connected get richer, 2) you are lucky, or 3) your family is hermits. Smearing, blaming and shaming others does not build trust.
Besides death and disability, the greatest crime is the purposefully ignoring of the natural immunity to the disease that lasts for months if not years (including all those who were asymptomatic too). Yet millions with functional immune systems against COVID are being jabbed with experimental mRNA gene therapies.
An explanation is that it takes money and competence to develop quick accurate tests that will determine if a person is immune and does not need an injection. Also, it requires a working public health system to administer the tests, keep track of everyone and to ensure their privacy. The pharmaceutical industry, the exploitive healthcare system and Joe Biden are adamantly against this. It would end the intentional extortion of billions of dollars from the American people.
“Profits over lives” reigns supreme.
The contradictions are piling on to one another. Microsoft and Tyson Foods requiring its employees to be jabbed does nothing to help public health. There will be transmission of the variants in the workspaces unless masking & social distancing is practiced to hinder it somewhat. Upgrading ventilation filtration, isolating workstations, UV air disinfecting, sunshine breaks, and opening windows would help more. OSHA has been prevented from implementing coronavirus work safety measures. “Profits over lives”. At best, the mandates may keep their employees and guests alive after being infected, but this has yet to be proven. This is more pandemic theatre and magical thinking that has dominated in the West since January 2020.
Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations had a fourth bump last spring. Coronavirus deaths had three peaks. The third peak from last February steadily declined until July 8th and is starting to rise again.
The current rise in the number of coronavirus deaths may or may not go exponential. If it does, this would be the fourth spike. The question is if the vaccines are lowering the death rate with over half of Americans vaccinated or is the delta variant less lethal. The fog of disinformation hides the truth for now. The USA is being run based on beliefs not science.
The past week killed the meme that mRNA gene therapy are vaccines. Non-sterilizing, they are just another treatment but patentable and they funded nine more new billionaires. Booster shots won’t go anywhere if the side effects are even worse than the first two jabs.
The ruling class have lost all trust. No one will believe them if they say wait for newer better vaccines. The variants are spreading now. More are coming from the walking vaccinated coronavirus variant incubators and spreaders. Anybody can be shedding the virus, even vaccinated Senator Lindsey Graham.
We all are between a rock and a hard place. But, so far, the Overseers don’t seem to realize it. Propaganda works but when it becomes divorced from reality it collapses taking the believers with it.
The Powers can’t explain how a fifth wave in the USA is possible. They falsely blame the unvaccinated. Only Hermits and Billionaires isolated on their islands, a year and have later, could not have been exposed to coronavirus in the USA. Since the rulers refuse to pay for free public healthcare, quarantines/contact tracing or close the borders; they let the virus rip and they profiteered (The Shock Doctrine). But Mother Nature has the last laugh, the evolution of new variants is killing their money extraction schemes by the resulting chaos. It can be ended if the people restore a functional national government, regulate corporations for the public good, and rebuild a working public health system. In fact, China is controlling the coronavirus pandemic although they are still in difficult battles against Delta outbreaks.
The ruling class intentionally selected mRNA gene therapies as the response to the coronavirus pandemic because they make money. Pfizer is projecting a 33-billion-dollar jackpot. They most definitely accepted the claims of 95% efficacy and herd immunity when 80% of the population was jabbed. The establishment called them “vaccines” and said they were “safe and effective”. The USA intentionally quit masking and social distancing and celebrated “a summer of freedom” on last July 4th. The rise in Delta Variant breakthrough cases and the acknowledged adverse effects of the vaccines shows that this was all lies, propaganda.
A free public health system, Plan B, will never be implanted to eradicate the virus in the USA. It requires taxing the rich. Instead divide and rule will be accelerated. Already, the unvaccinated are called scum. If hospitals start to overflow with patients, lockdowns will be reinstituted. If the powers decide that you have to be quarantined, you’ll pay for it or end up in camps. Minnesota is covered with toxic smoke from wildfires in Canada. Government has ceased to protect and serve the people.
Succession is inevitable.This week the money driven West has found itself on the horns of a dilemma. A year and a half into the pandemic and the propaganda doesn’t work anymore. The mRNA gene therapy has proven ineffective at stopping the transmission of coronavirus. The pandemic is real. The sole remaining hope is that the slow rise in deaths is due to the delta variant being not being as lethal. But it could also be due to mRNA vaccines lowering the number of deaths but anecdotal reports indicate vaccinated delta illnesses are more severe than the unavaccinated at the same hospitals.
There are only two options left, 1) go on a global war footing and eradicate the virus, or 2) just let the virus rip through the population. The first option is a no go. Oligarchs refuse to pay for it. This is the reason, from the get-go, why gene therapies were called “vaccines” and “safe and effective” with only short-term safety and efficacy data generated when half of all Americans were jabbed. There are now acknowledged side effects from the vaccines.
If you are unvaccinated, you are a target and a scapegoat. The Establishment doesn’t give a damn if you and your family survive or not. Anyone can transmit the virus to you. If you must go out in the public, each encounter is playing Russian Roulette. Sooner or later you will be exposed to the virus as long as it remains endemic. The alternative is sheltering in place. But, that is getting untenable in the long term, with logistic breakdowns and brewing succession movements due to the corrupt incompetence of the deregulated corporate/state. Both mainline railroad lines up and down the US West Coast are cut due to climate change driven wildfires. We have entered a new era where everyone has Sophie’s Choice.
When money is all that matters, corporate billionaires don’t donate millions for nothing. They expect things in return. Mark Zuckerberg donated $400 million to local US election offices. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are the primary funders of the UK’s Medicine & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency that approved the mRNA vaccines and the Foundation owns major shares in both Pfizer and BioNTech. Elections and healthcare in the West are being privatized. Public healthcare is no more in the USA. The CDC is too incompetent to develop a cheap accurate daily test to determine active coronavirus infections. Contact tracing & quarantines are a joke. No Manhattan Project to find coronavirus treatments. This explains why American life expectancy is falling so fast, it makes money for rich financiers. The more jabs the more money raked in and the more side effects that are ignored. Media propaganda blames the victims not the predatory western political/economic system.
TAE is an island of sanity.
The private/public corporate state have used propaganda to advance their goals since nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction were hyped to invade Iraq. A for-profit system based on lies is simply incapable of doing the public good. The USA is too corrupt and incompetent now to eradicate coronavirus.
Chaos is spreading through American cities. Pandemic fear is being ignited once again. We, the unvaccinated, are blamed. Further dividing Americans to stay in power and get richer.
Literally a house divided cannot stand. Only the restoration of science, sanity, community and democracy (ending the galloping inequality and declining lifespans) will avoid succession.
@Mr. House
I am so old I remember Polio outbreaks, Iron Lungs, the vaccine shot, and the relief. I know public health pandemic campaigns work. I am not an anti-vaxxer. I am against corruption and incompetence. I want government to work for the people not corporations.
The pandemic is real. It kills old farts like me and essential workers. Life expectancy in the USA in 2020 declined by 3 years for the Hispanic population, 2.9 years for the non-Hispanic Black population, and 1.2 years for the white population. Long Covid exists. Yes, the partial lockdowns in the West failed and created an economic depression that persists till today except for the rich who are making out like bandits.
Taiwan controlled coronavirus until variants from the outside started breaking out. The combination of case-based (contact tracing and quarantining) and population-based policies (social distancing and face masks), along with widespread adherence, led to Taiwan’s success in containing COVID.
https://theconversation.com/how-taiwan-beat-covid-19-new-study-reveals-clues-to-its-success-158900Masking and social distancing work but only in combination with century old public health measures that have and can control viral outbreaks. Masks identify that you care about the health of others in your community. Opening up the nation and ending masking and social distancing without exterminating the virus first is criminal malfeasance.
The abyss is staring back at us.
I agree that the vaccine campaign has been about messaging not the facts. Acknowledged side effects of the J & J vaccine is blood clotting with low platelet count in young women and also both Moderna and Pfizer vaccines cause heart inflammation in young men and adolescent boys. FDA required label warnings but did not prohibit these uses. They are a subset of the symptoms of COVID-19. If the public/private narrative is true, the only cause could be the spike protein. But, references to tests that determined the spike protein left the injection sites are labeled disinformation since it contradicts the official story that the artificial spike protein has a membrane attachment so the spike stays put where jabbed.
The rise in the number of cases in highly vaccinated nations documents that the vaccines do not stop transmission. If the vaccines allow 36% breakthrough infections as reported in Israel at the beginning of this month around 59 million fully vaccinated Americans could get infected with the Delta Variant. There are antidotal reports of worse infections among the vaccinated. It is typical of these morbid times that we must wait to see if the death counts also start climbing or not.
It was criminal manslaughter that the CDC stopped masking and social distancing believing their obviously wrong models that predicted coronavirus would be gone by this fall. The simple fact is the corporate state is doing everything possible to prevent the restoration of a public health system and providing an alternative to the current for-profit, wealth-extraction, US healthcare system. Both Republican and Democrat Administrations intentional have no plan B if the mRNA vaccines fail
This is the abyss staring back moment. The ruling class threw the dice and created a few more billionaires. But it has come up snake eyes for the public. Reports now indicate that Wuhan spike RNA vaccines are ineffective at stopping Delta Variant transmission (even lower than the 64% reported in Israel earlier) and anecdotal reports that the vaccinated hospitalized are sicker than the unvaccinated. An old fogey about to be thrown to the wolves, I am not happy that Berlin Bunker parodies are sure to infiltrate the intertubes with the dear leader in a rage when told that Fauci’s vaccines failed. Disinformation is the truth.
The only hope left is that frontline healthcare workers can treat the ill and the virus is adapting to humans. Deaths in the West don’t spike too.
The private/public mRNA vaccine jab campaign has reached a trust turning point. Once confidence is gone, institutions never gain it back again and collapse. For example, UK’s 100+ pandemic failings from Naked Capitalism:
14. Not funding permanent ONLINE or TV BASED SCHOOLS which can support and engage children throughout the pandemic and be scaled up when needed during SPIKES.
15. Not ensuring that EVERY CHILD has a COMPUTER and INTERNET ACCESS at home, if necessary
16. Repeated MIXED MESSAGING

From the beginning, the response to the coronavirus pandemic has been all about propaganda and making money. Public Health ignored. Gene therapies were renamed “mRNA vaccines” and the managerial experts immediately concluded that they would act just like earlier sterilizing viral vaccines. The CDC models predicted the virus would be gone by November. Clearly that is not happening. Burying their heads in the sand, the FDA failed to require follow-up surveillance for the safety and efficacy of the jabs injected into half of all Americans. That would cost pharmaceutical corporations money. Instead, the number of cases and deaths are starting to rise again especially in highly vaccinated Israel and UK, the USA too.
Anecdotally, common sense would indicate that the fully vaccinated should restart wearing masks in public, social distance, get out in the sun, take vitamins C & D and zinc daily, exercise, lose weight, get your blood glucose down. Help and protect each other. Survive.
I am dumbstruck. CNN headline: “White House turns up heat on Big Tech’s Covid disinformation dozen”. Facebook was told to censor 12 people who nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) called “super-spreaders of anti-vaccine misinformation”. The ruling class are intentionally denying Americans information that counters the official narrative that mRNA vaccines are “safe and effective”. The USA is seven months into the injection campaign and it is absolutely clear that this statement is false.
It is not just that the propaganda is completely divorced from reality as it was in the 1000-year Reich and Soviet Union. A reason these Empires fell in the 20th century. It is that America’s rulers believe their propaganda to be true.
It cannot be mere coincidence that mRNA coronavirus vaccines were developed and ready to be jabbed when SARS-CoV-2 appeared in Wuhan China. These messy sorts of things that go against the public/private portrayal must remain hidden. The COVID death toll is starting to rise again in the USA. Unvaccinated deplorables will be blamed and hated; not the 50-state public health system and the corrupt incompetent federal government that failed the people.
It is tragic that masking became politicalized. It is another way to tell who the “Others” are besides skin color. It means that proven public health measures will never be adopted in the West. This is why the public health officials in New Zealand are sounding so desperate.
Israel data indicates the mRNA vaccines cut transmission to 64% after it reopening. I read a comment that it is now 33%. The corporations up front say that the immunity wanes after 8 months. Front-line workers jabbed in January will now start to be re-infected. If 66% of the vaccinated can be re-infected by new variants without a booster shot next year, there is no way there ever will be herd immunity. The 3rd and 4th shots are reported to have even more adverse effects than the first two.
Boris Johnson has made a conscious decision to “let it rip”. The lives of the citizens of the UK do not matter. The Joe Bidden/Kamala Harris Administration by lies, inaction, and corruption have not instituting a national public health campaign to eradicate the virus. No different than the Trump Administration. By default the ruling class is letting the virus run loose in North America. There are numerous flights between Canada, Mexico and the USA and within each nation to transport the infected. It is up in the air, what the next waves will look like, if it becomes another flu, or fades away. No matter, unvaccinated deplorables will be blamed for whatever happens.
