I wrote a letter/article to the New York Times. Then, I “discarded” that letter, and wrote another. It was submitted on Moon-Day, August 2nd, 2021, around 10 a.m. The expected rejection came about 4 p.m. This second letter is first below, and the first letter is the second below.
Madness and Sanity in the Coming Covid-Aftermath
My name is Joel A. Wendt. I am 80 years old. I have degrees in pre-seminary (BA), and law (JD). I also have a rare intellectual skill-set, being a generalist, not a specialist-expert. My second childhood business card reads: “White-privileged, Christian, son of Montana, American citizen, shaman, and professional heretic”.
I am writing this to the New York Times staff, editors, readers, and owners, asking that they lead the post-pandemic investigations into what was/is actually true. There are many cogent reasons for this request.
In my own studies of our political-life in America, I observed four culprits as major causes of social/political dysfunction.
The least responsible were the people, the voters. We play a role, and were often ill-informed, but there were far worse actors on the shared stage. After the people, we can lay serious fault on the soulless politicians, whose main skill is lying, while appearing to offer hope. Behind them are those I call: the Lords of Finance. Most readers will not need any more information – 2008 proved that the money-world bought and sold alleged financial instruments of no real value whatsoever … except, you could get rich selling them, and almost wreck the world economy in the process.
The worst actor, in the sense of the ruination of our democracy, is the Media.
Media is a kind of spectrum, as it were. The forces of social media are fearsome. Newspapers are better than what is on the Evening News. Mostly this a function of time, … the televised news readers pretending they have depth. The Daily Show was far richer, especially given that it used memory, searching for overlooked video of politicians saying one stupid thing one day, and a different pointless noise on another day.
TV gave Trump 5 billion dollars in free advertising, just because he regularly gave them red-meat quotes. Still, advertising, and its devil-brother, professional “public relations” (lying), warps what makes its way to the citizen/voter. Our own government does psychological operations against those it is supposed to serve.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_operations_(United_States)
I had to write a couple of small books to get into the necessary details: “Uncommon Sense – the Degeneration, and the Redemption, of political life in America” (1), and “Economic and Social Rebellion – in an Age of social political chaos” (2).
(1) http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/degeneration.html “Why pay by the rules when the game is already fixed” (2) http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/Rebellion.html “A money debt owed a banker is only a number, … while what lives in the hearts of a People is a spiritual currency of infinitely greater value”
Major media needs a twelve step program. When network news turned away from actual news, into infotainment, advertisers began to rule content. For a sad example, just consider the tale in the movie “The Insider”, in which 60 Minutes sold its soul in order not to have to face Big Tobacco, and their armies of lawyers. You may remember “Them”, standing in front of Congress, swearing under oath that They had no idea nicotine was addictive.
In more recent news, we have the Sackler family and the billions They earned getting hundreds of thousands of our youth, mostly impoverished, strung out on a deadly and addictive synthetic opiod. Or, a very special factoid, which is that Big Pharma got Congress to pass a law making Them immune (Them “immune”?- oh the irony!) from law suits for any and all illnesses related to vaccines.
The Covid pandemic/plague had been winding down, mostly because the politicians’ actions were so extreme, folks got very tired of those, and needed a rest, in spite of the asserted dangers living in the basic shared Narrative.
Little known, but essential to know, is that the Aftermath of the 1918 flu pandemic enabled thoughtful scientists to examine in detail, whether or not the initial “model” for this “dis-ease” was true. Was it contagious? Or not?
In the book “The Invisible Rainbow”, by Arthur Firstenberg, it is pointed out that there were five primary points of outbreak, essentially simultaneous, but so far apart in physical space, that the idea of contagion failed as an explanation.
What the five locations shared is that new and potent radar stations had just become operable. The uptick in atmospheric electrical radiations were then a new kind of “poison”. For example, when electricity was first becoming known, people attended parties, held hands in a circle, and let an electrical “current” flow through their bodies. When more “sensitive” folks started getting nose bleeds and fainting, the “fun” stopped, for something very dangerous was at work.
This radiant atmospheric pollution joined the already ongoing acid rain (fresh water acquiring life threatening properties on the way to the ground, though the toxic air). When folk want to wonder why people are dying* in this cascading flood of flu upon flu, … serious consideration has to be given to nearly two centuries of industrial wastes – toxins in the air, the water, the soil, the food, and our medicines (side-effects?).
*[Recent “news” asserted, with considerable hysteria, that what with 600,000 people dead from the “plague” in America, we obviously had worsening problems. Numbers like this, Without Context, are worse than useless, because they are seriously misleading. America has 333 million people, and the death rate relative to the 600,000 is .01%. In 1918, the death rate was .48% (at a minimum), basically fifty times worse. In ordinary circumstances, at present, about 2.8 million Americans die annually. We are doing far better than what the official Narrative seeks to make us believe.]
Similar exaggerations of the true state of matters flow through most of the “numbers” we are given. A most recent set of figures, to fall across my path, revealed that of the 160+ million who have been vaccinated, 99.9%, when tested, had no Covid-debris found through “pcr” testing, and were therefore not even “cases of infection”: aka healthy.
I am not suggesting these numbers are true. I expect that they were arrived at by taking polling samples. Lots of assumptions. Still, in passing, we should reflect on the fact that most of effects, such as announcements about this or that event, say the Cape Cod “incident”, were not arrive at because an army talked to each individual person. Polls were used, and always the meanings of the results are often guesses.
When I grew up in Montana, we were taught: there are lies, and there and big lies, and the least reliable tales come from statistics.
On the News, and from the chief spook/spokesman, we are told things are getting better, and then later … no, things are getting worse. Can’t be both, which makes the minds of epidemiologists far different in exactness, such as is in required in physics. They make a lot of guesses, and change their minds frequently, while not really agreeing on the degree of danger, or the best solutions.
The discipline of epidemiology, besides being mostly statistical models of public health events, faces a difficult philosophical/epistemological rule: “Mere Association does not Prove Causality.” It isn’t enough to have two events connected in time (association), to establish a causal relationship requires more.
This means that the proliferation of tiny entities, that comes with illness, may be just another symptom. Proofs are alleged, and experts maintain, that with an electron microscope we discover the connections. I’ve had reason, in another venue, to weigh in on the problem of “tiny”, as something that rules the larger whole. https://thecollectiveimagination.com/2021/06/01/dear-the-nature-institute-folk/
During the Aftermath, when the whole world sorts out the different approaches, we need to know what made one way successful, and another a failure. Real numbers, not hysterical guesses.
Here is a good example of the newspeak of Big Agriculture: Most people have no clue that the idea of “gluten intolerance” is another public relations’ euphemism, covering over the fact that Roundup weed and plant killer, is added to wheat fields, a couple days before harvest, in order to initiate a death process, so that the harvester machines can more easily “cut” that already dying grain.
The more “sensitive” folk are all suffering from industrial excesses in the food supply.
There is no reason whatsoever to trust: most of the government, most of the media, or most of the corporations. Recall: the Pentagon Papers, the Panama Papers, the Bush administration lying us into two wars. Remember the revelations from: Wikileaks-Assuage, Manning, and Snowden. Watergate. Iran-Contra. The CIA selling drugs to inner city youth to fund their off the books black-ops (Oliver North etc), … ultimately ruining and murdering the reporter for the Mercury News who broke the story – one of those guys who committed suicide by shooting themselves twice in the head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb#Death
9/11. JFK, MLK, RFK. John Lennon. Fred Hampton. The Chicago Seven.
It is often asserted, that our conceptions of the pandemic/plague/flu/whatever are based on “settled” science. When Wuhan happened, the Narrative ignored much, and seemed instead to follow a script.
Wuhan had an aging overworked elderly underclass – many of whom smoked, in one of the Chinese cities with the highest air pollution numbers. 5G had just gone on line in a big way.
On my “radar”, this was just another flu season. However, as a generalist spiritual social scientist [see my book: “The Art of God – an actual theory of Everything” (3)], I follow carefully all the major media narratives. Getting the truth – with any depth – is not an expectation of mine, but at the same time I have tried to keep up with the births and deaths of various kinds of social myths.
(3) http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/artofgod.html “A challenge to the Theory of Evolution and the Big Bang, by offering A Theory of God and its details
as a fully accurate and realistic Theory of Everything”
Watergate. Iran-Contra. Deflate-gate. The public mind is dependent on media to sort stuff out – to make sense of confusion. What will the Times do in this period of Aftermath?
Will they leave the Narrative unquestioned? No search for the truth is more important, for if we can be conned at the level many recognize, a whole lot of our ways of life need some fixing. For some, any effort to see bad actors getting away with stuff can only be “a conspiracy”.
It is a good deflection, if you want to hide something, to call a critic a conspiracy theorist. The problem is, that if you lived through the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, just about every conspiracy the anti-war movement imagined turned out to be true in the aftermath. Co-Intel Pro. CIA testing LSD in San Francisco, and Hollywood. The head of the FBI spying on folks, and using what he learned to manipulate them. President Nixon, and friends, committing war crimes by bombing Cambodia. Agents provocateurs, hiding in all the different groups, urging violence in order to provide a basis for jailing the leaders. Aaron Sorkin’s script for the Chicago Seven just won an Oscar.
In one sense, we enter the final* world-wide war for human freedom, in which ordinary Americas are on the front-lines. Rich versus poor just about covers it.
The future seems owned by wealth, although as most aboriginal wisdoms would point out: Who can own our Mother? *[Everywhere weapons of mass destruction, some of which are called “normal ways of doing business. Read: “Confessions of an Economic Hitman”. While the world wanders close to global war, the environment (the Earth Mother) seems to be dying.]
First a revolutionary war, … freeing us from English banking domination. Second, a civil war, … human rights needs facing economic institutionalization. Now a third war, … I call it The Grandmother War. Protests turned into parties, with tea and sharing. All of us, black, white, female, indifferent, fool, movie star, grave digger … are in the same boats of life and death and loss and sorrow. We are far more alike than the “dividers” would have us believe. http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/thegrandmotherwar.html
Civilization has too long served wealth and power. Not surprising, but reasoning suggests that this “game” has reached a kind of zero-sum point: There are far far more of “us” ordinary folk, than there are of the wealthy “Them”, and their servant bullies. Hard lessons on the horizon.
As a shaman, I see history as poetry, spun into being by the Divine Mystery.
How/What does the alleged “paper of record” see in the signs of the times?
Whether the Times recognizes it or not, there are heretical thinkers doing better science. So far, the public relations onslaught has given “hard names” to those who think outside the official box: anti-vaccer, aids denier, conspiracy theorist, … essentially clueless idiots.
Sorry Times, but in the real world – when there are no regular face to face scientists arguing with each other in public – there is no science, just a belief system, essentially a religion, with priest-experts, and a whole lot of wealth and power in play.
The link below is just one example of thousands of the fact that all over the world sensible people have better ideas, and less financial interest in certain outcomes.
From science fiction writer Frank Herbert’s novel Dune: “When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement becomes headlong – faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until its too late.”
In this case, the “religion” is materialistic medical science, which refuses to consider “spirit” as a possible aspect of disease and illness (aka: stress, sensitivity, the immune “system”, and the will to live). Since they can’t measure it, it does not “count”. And we, citizens of the world, when we buy into these ideas effectively join a “cult” of fear. Let us not pretend the Narrative does not frighten people, … fires of uncertainty, with the fear and social chaos adding to the “stress” levels.
No wonder the crisis appears to move in waves. The treatment, in a social sense, is itself deadly because this treatment adds stress, while offering only one medicine, … a shot is not going to take away the stress, when the Narrative tells more and more stories of – you need to worry about this … one shot is not enough, perhaps needing to become a permanent fixture of modern life, ruled by money and fear.
As a generalist, I can suggest that if you know of the Copernican Revolution, which fathered natural science, you might find it interesting to follow an “alternative” wisdom, or a “counter-Copernican Revolution”, such as the Romantics, Transcendentalists, and lately the lesser known friends of Rudolf Steiner.
The first progressed by systematically ignoring any hint of a spiritual element to being human, and the second progressed by developing sciences where the spiritual was also embraced, and observed. The most obvious presence of spirit is in human thinking. “I am not my brain – the map is not the territory” http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/brain.html
At a growing-point tip of modern materialistic medical science, there lies a divide. It is not dissimilar to the divide that existed when in physics Newton’s views were replaced by Einstein’s. A subtle transformation, yet fundamental.
Imagine there exists an “Einstein” of medicine. His enemies and detractors will become enraged, for the heretics are generally the next age’s genius. Einstein had a friend, Sir Arthur Eddington, who first “saw” Einstein, and worked at proving – through careful observation – Einstein’s “theories”, in the face of strident institutional denial. Newton wrong? Heaven forbid.
Read these books, and get back to me … oh, and Tom Cowan is our medical healer Einstein. Besides the below, also read Cowan’s: “Human Heart – Cosmic Heart”; and, “Cancer and the New Biology of Water”
[please do not make the error of believing the storm of criticism that followed the Mikovits “Plandemic” video. Big money can drown us in material, calculated to rule the Google, and/or Facebook, algorithms, so that their tall-tales appear far before any of the works of the “heretics”]

Kennedy Jr.;’ “The Invisible Rainbow”, by Arthur Firstenberg; “Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illnesses”, Tom Cowan; “The Contagion Myth”, Tom Cowan and Sally Fallon; “The Nature of Substance – spirit and matter”, Dr. Rudolf Hauschka; “Man or Matter: Introduction to a Spiritual Understanding of Nature on the basis of Goethe’s Method of Training Observation and Thought”, Ernst Lehrs; and “Saving the Appearances – a Study in Idolatry”, “Speaker’s Meaning”, and “Worlds Apart”, Owen Barfield; “The Plant” (2 volumes), by Gerbert Grohmann.

My CV is here: http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/thetree.html My articles on science are here: https://thecollectiveimagination.com/some-of-joel-wendts-writings-on-the-science-of-the-future/ My latest work is: “The Father at Rest – magical and mystical dark-matter physics, and the Age of Technological Chaos. https://thecollectiveimagination.com/2021/07/15/the-father-at-rest/
We need to keep in mind that there is a lot of noise in the signal. Masks, social distancing, lock-downs, vaccines, … that’s the noise …. the whole of the reality here has to do with the “science”. Does the science prove contagion? That riddle has to be worked out in public, through papers, and arguments and tests, … without assuming the historical model is accurate. Why? Because it is the very nature of science to constantly challenge itself, and the science of vaccines is woefully in need of being re-examined.
Think about this … vaccines don’t cure. Modern medicine also can’t cure heart disease or cancer. Successful treatment of symptoms does not mean the causal problem is solved. At the time I am writing this, we are being told / instructed / expected to believe progress that goes like this: oh, yes, if you take the vaccines, you can still infect other people, and some of the vaccinated will get the dis-ease, but allegedly with less dangerous effects.
Perhaps the biggest lesson – needing to be learned – has to do with the unwarranted influence of money, over the truth. George Carlin used to talk about the “owners”. Eisenhower’s farewell address points to more than just the “military-industrial complex. He was also worried about the money being poured into our university and colleges, corrupting the search for truth. Right now wealth rules the Narrative, and very little about wealth-acquisition is altruistic.
Those, who faithfully believe/support the Narrative, do not suspect what will happen, if and when the scientists – claiming the Narrative is factual – are called into courts of law, placed under oath, and required to answer questions from someone who knows the field, and also knows where the real and serious weaknesses are.
Fauci is just performance art. I have to admire his ability to tell us of coming horrors, while that strange subtle smile is stuck on his face. He is more political than scientific. And, the fact that just one or two faces is all we see on TV, … well, he’s the top expert, right? The pandemic “pope”, whose authority can’t be questioned.
Or the shill, for powerful folks who have, as Mikovits points out, corrupted both the CDC and WHO.
As long as the News Media fails to insist that the arguments between the proponents of the Narrative, and the heretics, take place in a public venue, … this Media is failing the sacred trust which the founders institutionalized in the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As of this date (while I am writing this) the CDC has called for extreme measures, and the President Biden is considering a Federal vaccination mandate. Where does the Constitution grant such powers to the Executive Branch?
Unethical human experimentation is a crime against humanity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation
The Times doesn’t need to take a side, it just needs to support a public – less hysterical – scientific debate. The Narrative only pretends, given that it changes constantly. We are being served hopelessness. What&Who does the New York Times want to offer, to fill our hearts and souls with joy in life, instead of fear of disease and death?
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Fear, Madness, and the real threat to American Democracy, aka: newspapers like the Times, who haven’t been doing their job during the pandemic.
My name is Joel A. Wendt, and I have a business card, to go with my second childhood (I’m currently 80), which reads: “white-privileged, Christian, son of Montana, American citizen, shaman, and professional heretic.
The Times has two weeks to decide to publish this, an unlikely event. In any case, if you don’t, it will go on my blog “ http://thecollectiveimagination.com ”
For detailed factual support, the following texts were used: “Plague of Corruption”, by Dr. Judy Mikovits, with an introduction by Robert F.

Major media are not doing their job, which on one level is the most important of all: finding and publishing the “truth”.
I have been a daily reader of the digital New York Times for years. I have degrees in pre-seminary and law, as well as being a writer for decades. I am well read on science, and politics. A main study over the years has been about how reality is interpreted by news agencies, often at a cost to the truth.
What scares (and angers) me the most, is the refusal of the Times to even admit the existence of thoughtful and reliable views, which are contrary to the accepted plague Narrative. Used to be major media was attacked for thinking there are always more than one side to any issue, and that to give voice to the heretic was a duty.
As a follower of media, and an observer of its limits, the current approach seems to be to blame people who don’t buy the Narrative and who can be reduced to labels, such as: anti-vaccers, conspiracy theorists and now the “unvaccinated” – these people are dangerous to us all, whether or not they are a “case”, and/or “symptomatic”.
Like a lot of social observers, I was not expecting a “plague” to happen. Yet, there “It” was, all over regular news and social media. The event that most capture my attention, was the appearance and then disappearance – within less than 24 hours, of the video on the “plandemic” by Dr. Judy Mikovits.
By itself, not much of a worry, except that immediately after Facebook dropped it, social media was inundated with “articles” attacking her, personally and professionally. Dozens every day, for about ten days. I became very curious as to what she was about, given the extreme apparent overreaction.
I write “apparent”, because as everyone needs to know, huge public relations firms exist, whose sole purpose is to force any news cycle to favor their clients. These companies even sell, to local news agencies, pre-packaged short bits, that look like news, but are nothing less the propaganda.
Don’t get me started on how this “system” of news management has been polluting our airways about vaccines, and alleged communicable diseases, for decades. This process even coined a new word: anti-vaccers.
I was able to run down a copy of the Mikovits video in a couple of days, … nothing ever disappears from the Web of Lies. Why did these folks not like her? The smoking gun was simple: patents, and the control of the agencies such as WHO and the CDC by businesses. She had worked in both places and even knew Dr. Fauci. More on him later.
In Eisenhower’s Farewell Address he spoke of a second major problem, besides the infamous “military industrial complex” (which now includes the intelligence communities). That second danger was the amount of money being pored into colleges and universities, by money-folks who are not altruistic at all.
This has become a well known problem. My older brother left academia because of this influence of money on the nature of his research, coupled with the fact that undergraduate schools were producing students that did not what to do scientific research, with all its difficult questions. They just wanted to know how to “pass the tests”, get their degree, and land a job.
I believe it was a twenty-year editor, of the English science research magazine, the Lancet, who confessed a few years ago that fully half of what they published, was not peer reviewed, and/or often used too small a sample, and topped that off with faulty reasoning.
Keep in mind the image of Big Tobacco, standing in front of Congress, and swearing oaths that they had no idea nicotine was addictive. Then there is the fact that Big Pharma got Congress, in the late ‘80’s I believe, to pass a law making them immune to any liability for any and all illnesses caused by vaccines.
A few factual observations – the story of the Tale, which readers can check.
When the China bit happened, the discussion was about the new “flu”. Not too soon later, there appeared the “news worthy” sources, words/ideas that a pandemic like 1918 was possible. Bill Gates, and such, released videos, telling us we had been warned that “this” might happen.
The initial riddle was is this a regular seasonal flu, or something much much worse? As most of us know, language is crucial, and if one doesn’t know this they need to read “1984”.
As the hype build up, major media began to be “expressive”. They like a good story, and too many like to put a hysterical face on it. Quickly media was demanding the politicians “do something”. Politicians are good at pretending to “do something”, but not too good as achieving it. Scared media “consumers” also had demands, … but for what?
A vaccine, of course. That growing issue began to acquire “experts”, and one voice and face dominated in the USA. A contagious disease is a serious boogeyman. Very strange to my ears were certain words/ideas, such as super-spreader, and that one could be fine, – neither a “case”, nor symptomatic – and still infect everyone around them.
In fact, the term “case” was not there in the beginning, yet there was a need to identify the “infected”, even though not symptomatic. Experts started to throw in the ideas of masks, and social distancing. Companies began to supply all manner of stuff, and what was very strange – to a genuine scientist – is how quickly “they” “identified” the culprit, and starting selling “tests”.
It is not odd that actual science takes time. It is sad, that media accepts the idea that from point to point, there could even appear new research supporting each next stage of the “event”. Of course, all such questions had answers, for thinking can imagine anything. The current articles in the Times all accept as proven the “official” Narrative.
Politicians next ordered the lock-downs, and wrecked the world’s economy. They had to do something, … right?
As to the tests, medical science has never worked that fast, ever. Both the polio and the AIDS vaccines took a lot of time to identify, and even more time before beginning to offer treatment. In social media venues, where heretical thoughts were being expressed, the speed – of development from flu to plague to everyone needs to be vaccinated – was a sure sign of the guiding hand of greed.
A lot of money is being made. One of my first blog entries on this “event” wondered why people even trusted politicians, corporations, and media, given their “track” records as regards the “truth”. Nobody in the Times was willing to remind us of the Pentagon Papers, and the Panama Papers, or even look into and note that Big Pharma has paid billions in fines for overselling drugs that not only didn’t really didn’t work very well at all, but were actually causing diseases themselves (side-effects).
The irony here is that the Oxycodone mess was also in the papers, received its own Amazon (or Netflix) movie, while killing and addicting far too many people, … and we are now being told to trust money with our health? The same papers that write of this, also are behind the Narrative – kind of ethically schizophrenic is it not.
All the same, the commercial laboratories soon churned out millions of “test” kits, alleging they had found the boogeyman virus, and here is how you can test for it. Meanwhile, over in social media, there were doctors and organic chemists discussing the realities of the problems, given that the test encouraged false positives, because it could only look for the debris of a Covid-strain organism, … which anyone might have in their bio-home, if they had been vaccinated in the last ten years.
Meanwhile, millions waited for hours and days, in long lines, to get a “test”, and become a “case”.
The way numbers are used is amazing. For example, as the testing increased, there was an increase – naturally – in “cases” (no symptoms), which increase the media, and the main expert, used to claim the disease was spreading, in waves no less. The rate of increased testing has nothing whatsoever logically to do with the rate of the spread. The amalgamation of those two concepts continued an ongoing failure in the thinking that was supposed to be following, in the News, the unfolding events
Cases, begat hospitalizations, for everyone who became ill with the “flu”, and failed the “test”. Hospitals, and their staffs, became over-run. Everywhere in the world people were dying of the boogeyman plague, being described as the worst ever in history.
Justly the question of deaths is crucial. The Narrative doesn’t bear close examination, because it assumes a death cause, without considering other causes. All those deaths in old folks homes are from being “old”, getting the “flu”, and a failure of care, because everyone around you can’t touch you anymore.
Having had a near-death experience about three years ago, I am aware that sometimes there is a junction, … go home to friends, or stay with pain and loneliness. Medical “science” can’t measure “will to live”, but everyone who treats the elderly ill knows the phenomena quite well.
Recently the number of deaths, in the USA, reached 600,000 – with great exclamations of how out of control were the rates of cases, symptoms, infections and deaths. Most of the time, even on the Evening News, or in the Times, when reporters and opinion writes refer to numbers, they go with the meaning: oh my god, oh my god, oh my god we have to do something, and … what a good idea: lets make healthy people take a shot, so we can be less fearful, of even casual encounters with other human beings.
The thing is the number 600,000 has a context. 2.8 million people die annually – at current rates – in America. 600,000 is .01% of 333 million (our current population). If we look at the figures on the 1918 “pandemic”-flu (which just means world-wide, not a “plague”)*, the rate of “flu” deaths was anywhere from .48% to .81% – which means that the death rate was around fifty times worse in 1918. *[the “black plague killed at least a third of the total population of Europe – that’s an actual “plague”, not a “pandemic”]
We are being told that there is scientific consensus (aka: fixed science) to support everything being done. In a woke-world, it might have been better had the Times read up on the heretics, because the alleged “consensus” does not exist. It is just that even the news folks are so caught up in the rush to judgment, looking behind the curtain at the wizard never happens. The lion (truth speaking) remains a coward, the tin man (the mechanical mind) has no heart, and the straw-man (the true-believer mind) sets fire to Dorothy, killing both her and her dog.
If you label a person a scientist, or an expert, that label does not mean they are either. Scientists argue all the time, only this time the arguments never got into public view. One face, one voice, no questions can be asked. Doubt, the fire of scientific thinking, is cause for social exclusion.
How high are the stakes, if this plague – in name only – is some kind of not good for your health boondoggle? It already was, before even the “cures” (which are clearly not working) were sold to us. Lots of clever expertise offered, most of it conveyed with a lot of flexible logic.
One of the biggest causes of illness is stress. Stress triggers the flight or fight chemistry, which means the heart gets ready, beats faster, and the body tenses up. In too many of us, this is often a “normal” state. In fact, in some workplaces or marriages, this emotional tension is a constant excited blood rush, followed by holding it in. Repeated many times a day.
There is a cost to our health from this. When you scare a lot of people with a boogeyman idea, line them up for hours to get tests and shots, cut them off from work, and companionship, … this leads naturally to hormonal-juices in need of expression. It is no wonder that the young wanted to party, and folks missed out on the experiences in sports or concert venues.
The ancient Greeks knew the importance of catharsis, … of the release and acknowledgment of “stress”, for a health society.
One more minor note, in the whole – still to be understood – tale: Epidemiology is a very strange bird. When I was growing up, the wise cliché was: there’s lies, and there’s big lies, and then there’s statistics.
At the logical core of epidemiology is a warning: “association does not prove causation”. The appearance, at the same time, of two discrete events, does not prove a causal relationship.
Here lurks the essential riddle, and if you think it has been answered, you are not paying attention.
Imagine you are driving through an area of Vermont, dedicated to dairy farms. Field after field of ripe grains filled with many cows, happy at dining. In our “germ/virus” theory of disease, we make the logical mistake of believing the cows caused the environment. Just because one symptom of the “flu” is the rapid proliferation of a tiny organism, does not mean that entity is the cause of the huge and complex bodily environment in which it appears.
Another logical factoid is that if we approach something, and already believe we know what is going on, the tendency of the mind is too see every phenomena as already fitting the “theory”.
One consequence, of this unavoidable fact, was that the “models” for flu epidemics involved a lot of assumptions. Aka: so-called “educated” assumptions. In the beginning, there appeared to be consensus, but recently such imagined stalwart sources of the truth as WHO, or the CDC, no longer appear to agree as to what is coming next, or what to do next.
The “precautionary principle” would argue: Don’t take any chances. It would be better, if those who want to follow that idea, had an opportunity to become aware of the counter-Narrative, which has a great deal of validity.
I am implying, that in this case we are on the verge of choices where the cure is going to turn out to be worse than the disease.
At an even higher level, me being a scholar and mystic, my observation is that what hit us was that the Earth-Mother~!~Holy Mother, in Her guise as Divine Providence, just gave the whole world a time out, for reflection. Because the handwriting on the wall clearly indicates that “Western” civilization is dying into new becoming, and we might like to get our houses in order, for the ones we build on sand will fail. https://thecollectiveimagination.com/2020/09/27/earth-motherholy-mother-and-the-mystery-rite-of-the-plandemic-pandemonium-reboot/
Fauci now wants us to make plague vaccines before the next pandemic hits. The facts are that pharmaceutical science has yet to have done that, ever. We get an annual “flu” vaccine, and many of the vaccinated still get the flu, and many still die. I don’t get vaccinated, and don’t get the flu. Right now Fauci is touting the dangers of the latest “variant”.
So, if the organism is constantly changing, on what basis can they even begin to get ahead of it. They aren’t ahead of it now, by their own Narrative.
Why don’t the editors of the Times cringe at the ill-logical, which has been a major feature of the whole sordid story? If you are masked, and that protects you … why should I be masked? If I am not symptomatic, why is that sign of health any justification for giving in me live, or otherwise inert organisms, for which my body has not yet adapted?
Why? Well, when I visit with Her, its pretty simple. We are all the right people, in the right place, at the right time. And, if there were no hot-button moral issues everywhere, we might miss out on His Baptism of us by Fire and Holy Breath.
But hey, … scientific materialistic-medicine has no room for spirit, and that “defect” surely has nothing to do with why we are presently frogs in the stew in which all are being cooked, including Gates and Fauci and writers for the Times.
Oh, you think … people are dying, horribly … why is that if it is not this boogeyman? A really good question, but most of the time it is inserted in a conversation as an argumentative point only. Most don’t imagine there might be an answer.
In the mid-1800’s, industrialization began to be applied to agriculture. Not too much later, synthetic chemicals were in most our products (plastic) and in most of our medicines (aspirin, an imitation for willow bark). Oxycodone is a synthetic opiate.
Industrial civilization ended up polluting (poisoning) our air, our water, our soil, our foods, and our medicine (side effects) – mostly in the name of profit.
Our bodies began to have increased incidents of heart disease and cancer. The “annual” flu appeared, but industrial medicine was already treating normal processes as if they were disease conditions (remember how they treated pregnancy?).
The “flu” is an elimination process. We sweat, we barf, we poop, we cough, we get so sick we have to lie down, instead of take some “over the counter pills” to repress symptoms and continuing going to work.
A fever is crucial to health, being a core manifestation of the illusive “immune system”, which like stress, or sensitivity, or will to live, cannot be measured. If it can’t be measured, medical “science” is presently unable to use our natural reactions to the fullest. After all, to the powers that be, human beings are mostly useful as consumers, and workers, and cannon fodder for wars. They need to be “trained”, but not educated.
We are accidental bits of matter, lost in an uncaring cosmos, and doomed to forever war with each other, as an evolutionary imperative.
Really?
From science fiction writer Frank Herbert’s novel Dune: “When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement becomes headlong – faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until its too late.”
In this case, the “religion” is materialistic science, which refuses to consider “spirit” a possible aspect of disease and illness (aka: stress, sensitivity, the immune system, and the will to live). Since they can’t measure it, it does not “count”.
