Month: September 2021

When you are with someone you love, who truly understands you, no words are needed.

And when you have processed all the conflicts and wounds within you, and learned to stop hurting yourself, then no thoughts are needed.

I have more than once thought that the way meditation is often taught is backwards: the GOAL is not clinging to thoughts, and gradually building up the silences and space between thoughts, but it seems to me this is also an outcome of other forms of work.

Kum Nye, to take an obvious example, is intended to get you to the starting line.  The completion of Kum Nye, at the level of principle, as I understand it, is to enable you to BEGIN meditating.

And for me, beginning Kum Nye properly has involved dealing with trauma.  And this is what many of us need: to deal with our trauma to begin to learn to relax, then to learn to relax, and THEN to learn to meditate, which is to deepen our spiritual connections and awareness.

For me, the trauma process continues to involve neurofeedback, AVE, Heartrate Variability, Yoga and Autogenics.  And as I think I’ve said, in my own experience Skullcap is better than CBD in calming me down.  I’ve tried even expensive CBD, and it doesn’t do anything for me.  I take Skullcap every night.  It was an important element in learning to sleep without alcohol.

And of course a lot of this is trying to connect with my experience, and allowing it to flow.  Trauma resolution and progress in Kum Nye are more or less the same thing, and Peter Levine is the only person I have ever seen mention Kum Nye outside of the community itself.

As a practice, it should be much better known, but there is nothing sexy about it.  You won’t build stronger abs, and no Hollywood celebrities are pushing it.  And what you get is subtle and slow.  But it is also profound.

And the end is learning to process all experience as it happens.  It is literally a process for building sustainable happiness, connection, and balance.  These are not things that come in bottles, and not thing you can buy.  They are not easily attained, and in fact, many if not most people in this country at least live entire lives that are unhappy, alienated, and imbalanced.

If it is worth learning to play a musical instrument, or a video game, or learning any art or craft or sport and any activity whatsoever, how much more is it worth learning to be happy, connected (with your experience and sense of being, first, and then naturally with others, and with nature, and with “Life” generally), and balanced?

Is that not the most important game we can play?  Money can’t buy any of that.  Money buys experiences, but not a soul.  And even if we all have souls, if we cannot connect with them, their value is lost on us experientially, which is to say practically, which is to say they may as well not be there.

I suppose in my own way I think of myself as trying to come up with a really good new melody.  A new tune.  You have to hum a while, and try different things, to slowly and imperceptibly improve it.  That is the root of my repetition.  I allow it because I long ago found it useful.

This point, itself, I have shared before.

My basic position is that these spike protein injections are an unknown.  They have not undergone sufficient testing.

The fact that Ivermectin and HCQ had not “undergone sufficient testing” was sufficient for Anthony Fauci to dismiss them, even though their SAFETY was not in question.  Only their efficacy relative to SARS-CoV-2 was.

These injections could be BOTH injurious AND ineffective.  That is a perfect storm of incompetence.  We are seeing that most hospitalizations in Israel are among the “vaccinated”.  I am telling you that I heard second hand that most COVID positives around here are “vaccinated.”

And the CDC is CLEARLY playing games with the numbers.  I just noticed you cannot now pull the death numbers by age any more, as you could a year ago, without a lot of work.

But games with regard to “vaccination” specifically: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/09/is_covid_a_pandemic_of_the_unvaccinated_not_quite.html

You can disagree with me.  You can say we should do this, and not that.  But the FACT is that the middle is under attack, not the fringe.  It is not an unreasonable opinion to say we should try all safe medicines with potential FIRST before trusting the health of the nation–including the entirety of our Armed Forces–to something which has existed less than a year, is being criticized by its inventor, and which killed all the animal participants the last time it was tried 15 years ago or so.

This is not crazy.  This is reasonable.  This is common sense.  This is Main Street America.  How is it that people like me are being attacked as lunatics?  Ponder that, which is to say consult your experience, your logic, and your feelings and intuition.  Think through your own personal history: when this kind of shouting is going on, is the outcome usually good?  Is it something fair?  Is it something all participants look back on years later as necessary, or as an unfortunate and regrettable lapse of sanity?

Informed consent is one of the most basic elements of medical ethics.  You, as a medical professional, suggest a course of treatment.  In this process, you say why you think it will help, and in what ways, and WHAT THE POTENTIAL RISKS ARE.  If the proposal makes sense to the patient, whose life it is both parties are discussing, then the process proceeds.  If the patient, being informed of the risks, decides they do not outweigh the potential benefits, then the process does not proceed.  The patient walks away, and the doctor has nothing to say about it.  It is their life, their decision.

My body, my choice is really an indisputable mantra within this ethical rubric.  As regards abortion, though, you are talking about two bodies.  As I continue to say, no one disputes the right of a woman or man to keep or have removed a kidney or gall bladder.

Today in my local CIA propaganda outlet, which is to say my iteration of the Gannett network, a local doctor was found willing to say that all children over 12 should get this spike protein injection.

Here is the thing: SHE DID NOT MENTION ANY RISKS.

Have you heard ANYONE, anywhere, mention risks with respect to these vaccines?  Fauci?  Walensky?

Are there no risks?  Of course there are.  We KNOW they cause heart problems, particularly in young men.  They cause blood clotting.  They seem to be associated–along with COVID itself–with miscarriages.

There are number of things we KNOW, and more no doubt that we suspect, associated with these things.

Have you EVER, in your lifetime, seen such an abdication of basic medical responsibility?  Without sufficient data to make the claim, doctors EVERYWHERE are acting like these injections are safer than aspirin and multi-vitamins.

This is a BASIC, basic, basic violation of Informed Consent.  People are dying, surprised, because the shot is killing them after they were told it was as safe as getting a haircut or getting your teeth cleaned.

Edit: Doctors who know the risks and fail to mention them are violating medical ethics.  Doctors who DON’T KNOW the risks–and in reality they and we are being given almost no useful and reliable data– and still use their professional standing to endorse them, are violating basic standards of PROFESSIONALISM, and are betraying a sacred trust.  They are prostituting themselves, and in most cases cheaply.

No one can deny these things kill people.  ALL VACCINATIONS KILL PEOPLE.  The numbers are low, so the math works, and we keep doing them.  Since any given shot is unlikely to be the one in a million lottery winner, most parents are not told their kid could die.

But the risks for these things seem to be much higher.  What is OBVIOUS beyond any real possibility of debate, is that all the members of what I will call Team Pfizer, and Team Moderna are downplaying and ignoring all negative data.  You don’t see it in the media, and if you talk about it anywhere else, you are accused of wanting people to die and of being a “crazy anti-vaxxer”.

Here is the thing: the guy who INVENTED the technology, Dr.  Robert Malone, has said he regrets taking the shot, and foresees a lot of problems even in the near term people are not wanting to talk about.

And I have most likely mentioned that when researchers tried to use mRNA technology against SARS-CoV-1, all the animals eventually died when exposed to the virus in the wild.

I assume human immune systems are in some respects “smarter” than those of animals, but could something very like this not explain the stories of vaccinated people flooding hospitals, both with COVID, and with vaccine after-effects?

Again, what is clear is that conversations that should be happening are not happening.  Warnings which responsible medical professionals would be offering are not happening.  Simple remedies, which we should have tried a YEAR ago, are being ignored when not denigrated.

Psychologically, I will again invoke the Stockholm Syndrome.  People I know and respect otherwise are saying “get the vaccine”.  Why would they do this?  Why would well meaning, reasonably intelligent people do that?

Because they see all the suffering the GOVERNMENT is inflicting on all of us, and see mass “vaccination”–massive compliance with a fundamentally irrational medical campaign–as the only to get GOVERNMENT TO RELAX RESTRICTIONS IT IMPOSED.

The only way out, in other words, is being made through an irrational medical procedure that may well in reality make the whole situation objectively worse, even if in the short term politically better.

The only way, in yet more words, that we can be saved from government is by doing whatever government tells us.  We have to appease these tyrants.  It is, we are told latently, and we feel on our insides (some of us), the only way to safety.

But of course appeasing these people is no different than handing the Rheinland, Austria, and Sudetenland to Hitler.  Nothing is enough.

Science does not deal in lies.  Science does not suppress data.  Science does not suppress discussion.  Science does not censor informed and qualified voices.  Science does not exclude a priori viable research paths, and potential solutions.  It tests them, them forms an opinion.

Wake up, if you have not yet.  It will feel just like it does in the morning: you will be hazy at first, disoriented, but if you persist, eventually you will find your coffee pot, and start feeling the light of day in earnest.

Movement.  As I understand it–and reliable statistics are between difficult and impossible to come by–the single largest predictor of a bad COVID outcome is inactivity; and obesity is on the short list following it, with the two being obviously connected.

As I understand it, third hand from the friend of a friend who works in a hospital, if you are under 65 and in a hospital, one look at you would tell most people you watched every episode of Game of Thrones, quite possibly more than once, and certainly that you have a well worn couch at home littered with Doritos and probably spilled diet soda or beer.

When you look at some of the nations that have done particularly well, like Finland or Japan (16,000 deaths in a population of 123 million or so, which works out to 1 person dying in 7,875, or about 1 person dying there for every 15 who died here, with us being about 1 in 512, and climbing very slowly) you will find low rates of obesity, and relatively high rates of at least basic activity.  I think you will also find low rates of Vitamin D deficiency, due either to national policy, as in Finland, or high rates of fish consumption, as in Japan.

It is really obvious beyond the need for comment, in my view–but seemingly not so, since even after a year not just our airwaves but our message boards are filled with patent nonsense–that all undangerous, non-intrusive, simple, common sense measures should have been employed at the outset of all this.

Fauci should have told people to exercise and lose weight, and eat more fish.

And a year ago I read countries in Europe that eat more fermented vegetables do better.  We know these are good for the digestive tract, upon which vastly more depends than we realized until recently, so what would or could that hurt?

As I continue to point out, WE HAVE NO PROTOCOL FOR EARLY TREATMENT.  None that I know, although I assume most doctors have come up with their own personal protocols.  But if you get diagnosed with COVID, I think most will say “oh, that’s too bad.  Stay home and keep an eye on it, and call me if it gets worse”.  Obviously, a percentage of cases DO get worse and get hospitalized, and then they have very expensive (read profitable, presumably) treatment like Remdesvir.

But Zinc and Vitamin D are necessary human elements.  They are absolutely necessary for health.  Why not say “take this amount and no more”, and possibly “let us do a blood test to see how you’re doing, so I can prescribe a corrective from a position of data”?

I know I keep saying the same things in slightly different ways, but it baffles me how all the governments of the world have adopted this hysteria in response to a virus that mainly kills people well past working age, and which is less dangerous to everyone else than a bad flu year.

As they say in the Great Barrington Declaration, pulling the bandage off and making it all go away is and always was as simple as locking up the elderly (who in our country at least tend to be in Geriatric Ghettos) and letting the thing rip everywhere else, again ideally after making basic suggestions about supplementation and activity.

If freedom survives, if honest articles are written about this time 5-10 years from now–or 30-40–this time will be seen as one in which the world was driven mad by Madison Avenue applied uniformly and aggressively to authoritarian politics and private profit.  We were DRIVEN into witch hunts, DRIVEN into mass hysteria, fear, paranoia, and despair, over nearly nothing; and even our supposedly educated classes by and large fell for it.

This virus is not nothing–real people have died real painful deaths–but it is also not something which warranted more than a small, small fraction of the misery which has been inflicted on the world by our sundry governments.

Medically, if we can call these spike protein injections “safe”, without having done several years of needed work–and done it HONESTLY, which seemingly has not really started even now–then why can’t the same medical professional who have learned to stop blushing when they say the “vaccines are perfectly safe–Nothing to see here– Safety as far as the eye can see” ALSO say that taking 4,000 iu Vitamin D with 300 mg of magnesium a day is safe?  And maybe 25 mg of zinc, more in an acute illness?

Medically, the cherry has been popped.  They have gone fully into an uncharted realm of medical ethics, in which I really don’t think there ARE any ethics.  They are saying things they can’t defend in depth, for reasons which appear purely venal and political.  Science has nothing to do with almost ANY of this bullshit.

BTW: Sweden reported ZERO new COVID cases today.  Not relevant or anything, but thought I’d mention it.

So why not?  And add Quercetin and Vitamin C, and hell, as an added bonus for those who are paranoid, Curcumin and Nigella Sativa? These things are harmless in normal doses, and helpful for a LOT of things.

You have to wonder: in the same way accountants fear a flat tax, are there people–doctors, pharmacists, cold medicine manufacturers, and of course Big Pharma–who fear a precipitous decrease in ALL infectious illness?

There is beauty in this world, but there is plenty of ugliness to appreciate it in contrast to.

As I understand the matter, the “vaccines”–which I am calling Spike Protein Injections, since in effect that is what they are, with the spike proteins apparently (in a Japanese study) entering nearly every organ of the body, including the brain, ovaries and bone marrow–are targeted to specific variants of COVID.

What is being rolled out now is the Alpha vaccines.  Those work, in theory, with the disease as it existed a year ago.  But they don’t work with evolved/changed varieties of the disease.  It is virtually a lock and key system, where if the lock changes more than a little, you need a new key.

Israel recently reported 80% of their hospitalizations had been vaccinated.  They also found natural immunity, from having had the disease, was 5-13x more effective than “vaccination” in preventing hospitalization.

In a little local story I don’t remember if I shared here, a guy who works for me on occasion has a female friend who is pregnant and who doesn’t trust the shots–since they seemingly have caused MANY miscarriages.  So she has to get tested weekly for her employer.

The gal who does the tests, and who has done nothing else for the past year, said that nearly every positive she was getting was among “vaccinated” people.

This makes perfect sense.  The people who obeyed our government and who have trusted our “public health” “experts” didn’t get COVID.  They stayed home, and then got the shots.

This means their only natural immunity to COVID specifically comes from the shot, and if the shot is highly specific, they are vulnerable to the “Delta” variant, and presumably the Mu variant they are organizing their next propaganda push around.

Every variant will require a new shot.  That is my understanding, and it squares with the data I have.

As I have shared Luc Montagnier, the Nobel Laureate who isolated the HIV virus, has been saying that this basic template is bound to drive nearly infinite diversification of the virus.

Now, as I understand it, it is POSSIBLE that the virus could take a more lethal turn, but that in general viral evolution tends towards being more contagious and less lethal.  That is a vastly larger field on which to grow its children, and enables vastly more time to do it.

But if we need a new vaccine for every variant of the virus our arms are going to get sore from all the shots.  Let us call the original COVID the Red virus.  Well, you may need a Yellow vaccine in two months, and an Orange one six months after that, and a Burnt Orange one three months after that.

It’s really small wonder Big Pharma has a hard-on for all this, and small wonder they have seemingly invested so much time and money convincing people things that WORK–like Vitamin D, Zinc, HCQ, Ivermectin, Quercetin, and seemingly Artemesisin–should either 1) not be talked about; or 2) denigrated and marginalized and mocked.

Do you really want to live in that world?  It’s the world of twice annual flu shots.

And ponder flu shots, even.  A good case can be made that the “flu season” is really the “Vitamin D deficiency” season.  Most flu shots could be made superfluous with Vitamin D supplementation (with magnesium, ideally, to help with calcium regulation).  Most infectious diseases could be decreased in size and amplitude by widespread D and Zinc supplementation.

I was looking in my Cold and Flu aisle the other day.  They have nothing that has D, Zinc and C in it.  Not that I saw.

I bought some packages that had been invented by doctors frustrated by the overuse of antibiotics at my local grocer a year ago, but they were in the process of being discontinued.  Now, I see nothing that has everything I would want.

Developing pills that would prevent most infectious diseases among normally healthy people would not be hard.  But LARGE monied interests are pushing hard against it.  I could easily see Big Pharma itself buying that shelf space at my grocers and replacing it with something inferior.

And to reiterate the obvious, these spike protein injections may wreak all sorts of havoc with our various body systems over time.  We don’t know.  I don’t know how anyone could be sure this early in, unless they are sure they DO cause major damage.  Safety, always, is a question of waiting to see what happens.  It takes time for nothing to mean something.

I was just sitting down to meditate, and it occurred to me that the 2015 Nobel Prize was shared 3 ways.  2 men shared half the Prize for inventing/developing Ivermectin, and the third, a Chinese Woman named Tu Youyou, got half for inventing/developing an anti-malarial called Artemesinin, using an extract from a traditional Chinese medicinal herb.

I thought: shit, HCQ is an anti-malarial and it works.  She’s already there with the Ivermectin guys.  I wonder if anyone has tried her medicine.

And yes, they have: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33152450/

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210719/Study-proves-effectiveness-of-Artemisia-annua-against-SARS-CoV-2-in-vitro.aspx

https://research.med.uky.edu/news/artemisia-annua-could-be-promising-treatment-covid-19

Maybe that is what China is REALLY using.

Put on your John Lennon glasses and try and IMAGINE what the world would look like right now if SCIENCE had run the show from the outset of all this.  It’s a difficult thing.  It’s probably easier to imagine world peace than a competent, honest, caring and data driven response to COVID, but try.  I wonder if you can.

And what else are we missing?  I don’t even see Artemesinin on this list, and yet I just found 3 good studies in ten seconds of looking: https://c19early.com/

Oi.  Looking at all this makes me woozy.  It is hard to decide which is larger: the crimes themselves, or the stupidity and cowardice which have made them possible.

My GOVERNOR referred to Ivermectin as “horse medicine”.  This whole thing is beyond ludicrous.

Ivermectin treats “elephantiasis”, which threatens nearly a billion people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephantiasis

Here is the WHO website, where it is on the list of protocols: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/lymphatic-filariasis

WHO now recommends the following MDA regimen in countries without onchocerciasis:

• ivermectin (200 mcg/kg) together with diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) (6 mg/kg) and albendazole (400 mg) in certain settings

It also treats “river blindness”, which affects about 15 million people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onchocerciasis

OK, the original post is below, but I almost never repeat anything verbatim, and am always amending, appending and updating.  The bits above are interesting.

“A number of serious infectious diseases are caused by parasites spread by insects. River blindness is caused by a tiny worm that can infect the cornea and cause blindness. Lymphatic filariasis, or elephantiasis, is also caused by a worm and produces chronic swelling. Satoshi Omura cultured bacteria, which produce substances that inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. In 1978 he succeeded in culturing a strain from which William Campbell purified a substance, avermectin, which in a chemically modified form, ivermectin, proved effective against river blindness and elephantiasis.”

Hey Australia and New Zealand, in particular, ponder this a bit.  This is your policy in short:

As a general rule, I avoid this topic, as it evokes strong emotions on both sides, and–here is a principle that just occurred to me–YOU CAN’T DEBATE EMOTIONS.

What a topic like this needs, and would much benefit from, is emotional intelligence.  It would benefit from both sides relating empathetically to the other, recognizing that both sides have valid points.

Personally, I think most European nations have a reasonably good balance.  As I understand it, most of them have legal abortion up to 15 weeks or so, and it is illegal for doctors to perform it after that.

What has happened in this country is that one side is utterly convinced that life starts at conception, and that the rest of us have a moral duty to protect that life from murder from that moment forward.

The other side, reacting to this view, has gradually evolved into justifying infanticide, in all senses of the word.  As I have commented from time to time, Obama voted, in the Illinois Senate, against a law (which was passed, by the way, if memory serves), which made illegal the practice of putting viable babies who were born but unwanted in cold rooms until they died, and calling that “abortion”.

At the root of all this is really the understanding of what it means to be human, and–to use one sides recurring phrase–the value of human life.

Personally, I think killing what are for all intents and purposes intact, viable, human beings–infanticide–has to be morally and thus legally wrong.  A baby does not become a human being simply because it is wanted, or stop being a human being because–for some inexplicable reason–the mother chose until the last possible second to kill it.

At the same time, women do get pregnant unintentionally, and sometimes as a result of violent actions, including rape and incest.  Some legal provision needs to be made for them not to give birth to children they don’t want.

So to my mind, there is a large gray area, which amounts to how many weeks a woman can carry a child and still legally rid herself of it.

Obviously, the answer to “my body, my choice” is that the baby is not her body.  The baby is a living human being, who will most likely live much longer than its mother, making its own decisions and living its own life.

But PRACTICALLY we have to accept human reality, so again it defaults to the number of weeks.  In my own subjective view, 6 weeks is too early.  As someone pointed out, that is only one missed period, so it is possible for the woman not even to know she is pregnant.

But a heartbeat is a heartbeat.

There is no scientific answer to this, so the whole thing SHOULD in my view be debated and discussed in a morally and emotionally intelligent way.  The fact that this is impossible is the reason States like Texas just say “fuck it” because they can, and because they cannot expect ANY compromise on the part of the other side.  When you draw a hard line, then if the other side gets power, you get nothing.

And to point out the painfully obvious, the Bill of Rights CLEARLY does not protect abortion.  Roe v. Wade was absolutely indefensible legally and Constitutionally.  That much is in my view really not debatable.

The core legal argument originated in the 4th Amendment, then invoked the 14th or 15th Amendment for its generalization.

Here is the text of the 4th Amendment.  If you can find a right to abortion in it, you have miraculous powers that have been denied to me:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
