 How could the truth be in the middle for someone who does not recognize the concept of truth?

 She is severely depressed, and if this goes on much longer, will likely die of loneliness and sadness.

 “Provocative Operation”, as defined by Edward de Bono:

This pandemic could have been ended months ago if everyone drank 24 ounces of tonic water a day.

Here is my reasoning, based on admittedly imperfect data.  The Frontline Doctors say that you can prevent COVID-19 using 2 weekly doses of Hydroxychloroquine.  This is a cheap, safe, and easy.

But the WHO, which seems to be seeking to PROLONG and worsen the pandemic, rather than follow anything resembling normal human impulses to basic decency and integrity–has created so much furor very HCQ, using fraudulent data, that many States in America have banned HCQ even for doctors to prescribe, and since we really don’t have malaria in this country, it has never been available or needed over the counter, as is the case in much of the world, where it is bought more or less as an allergy medication.

The number they use, I think in that video, is 2 200 mg doses a week.  HCQ is a synthetic form of quinine, which is derived from tree bark.  Formulating it synthetically simplifies the manufacturing process, and most likely enables slightly more consistent quality.  But it is substantially the same thing.

It appears a liter of tonic water has about 85mg of quinine in it.  If one were to shoot for 400 mg of quinine a week, according to my math that works out to about 24 ounces of tonic water a day.

Here is the thing: you can buy diet tonic water.  You don’t need to ingest all the sugar.

If you are terrified, there is a very good chance this will act as an effective prophylactic, and may well work adequately in lower doses.

Look at all the devastation in your nearest large city.  Most of that was completely unnecessary.  It has been Democrats pushing the riots–the pointless, damaging, destructive, effectively anti-black riots–and it has been Democrats suppressing a cure, suppressing a recovery, and praying daily for more bad news.

It’s sickening.

 This puts abortion back on the table as an election issue, and may drive many women otherwise possessed of sanity towards the creepy senile pedo and the California crook.

You know, the four honest Justices back in the days of FDR were called the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”.  Then, as now, the pretext of an emergency was used to push through what was clinically Fascist legislation.  Fascism, then, did not carry the pejorative weight it does now, and the first Administrator of the New Deal (a term, by the way, coined by a Communist, Stuart Chase) used to pass out pamphlets extolling Mussolini’s Fascist system, which–then as now–was viewed as vastly more efficient that the cumbersome and unresponsive machinery of representative democracy and Constitutional checks and balances.

That those “Four Horsemen” saved our Republic cannot be doubted.  Bills were passed which would have allowed the Federal government nearly unlimited controls of our economic life, and only failed to be implemented when they were blocked by those four, as I see it, noble and principled individuals.

As is nearly always the case, though, the left wing contingent of the Supreme Court DOES warrant the appellation.  They ARE working towards the destruction of the limits placed by our Founders on the actions of our government.  They can and will destroy the meaning and spirit of the law, ironically enough as the ultimate keepers of the law, which is the role our system has entrusted to them.

I can’t and won’t mourn the death of RBG.  Call me callous or rotten, but she is one of the people who allowed the on-going vitiation of everything good in our system.  No: she pushed it and encouraged it.

And count me among those who continue to believe Justice Scalia was murdered in his sleep, and the crime covered up.

I really don’t think most fat and complacent Americans, with their hot tubs and Hot Pockets, and Game of Thrones really get how much danger we are living in.  Evil is not out there: it is walking our streets, and preaching compassion and justice.

 I was a a foul mood most of this past week, which had something to do with some specific things which happened, but also something to do with the lockdowns I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

I figured it out yesterday.  The lockdowns are damaging to my nation and people.  They are stupid, anti-scientific abuses of power and corrupted expertise.

But what is really pissing me off is how fucking stupid people have to be to buy into all this.  The shut ins.  The people who look at me in terror when I don’t have a mask on.  The people driving with masks, or walking alone with them.  They are not doing that because they are required to–they are doing it because they are scared.

This applies especially to the young.  Literally every other cause of death is more dangerous to the under-30 crowd than COVID.  Car wrecks, cancer, even THE FLU, are all vastly more likely to kill them, especially if they take even modestly good care of themselves.

I talked with a number of people this past week who know people have had it.  Out of the perhaps 15 stories I heard, not one was hospitalized, and only two even had anything approaching a normal illness.  Most of them were a bit tired a day or two–allergies was the comparison I kept hearing–and then nothing.  Nothing.

What are those of us–as I see it–able to see through this fog of bullshit supposed to do?  Take over the Governor’s mansion?  From what I can tell, a very large segment of our own populace would oppose this, and self evidently the left wing media would have a field day with the “crazy radicals”.

Long term left wing corruption of our schools has had the planned effect, which is making people stupid.  We now know that fluoride in the water does the same thing.  

Here is what I am telling myself: logical reasoning results in truth; emotional reasoning–which is a different, non-verbal, but still iterative process, results in calm.  I need to work on my emotional reasoning skills.

 I wonder if fresh (not frozen, not canned) vegetable intake correlate with household income.   I suspect it does.  And I suspect it also correlates with overall health outcomes and life expectancy.

This is perhaps a truism, perhaps obvious, but I tend to often find myself trying to reason and think through basic concepts from their very beginning.

It occurred to me as well to comment on the idea of “socioeconomic status”.  In America, do we really need the “socio”?  Are not the rich the successful, and the successful the elite?  There is no monarchy, and we tend not to value anyone who cannot get rich doing what they do.

Perhaps in some places religious leaders have some status, but that is the only real exception I can think of.  Otherwise it is sports, movie and business folks who have made a lot of money and gained a lot of fame for it.

Who has heard of Doris Lessing?  Albert Camus?  Both heroes of mine.  Yes, I think I am better, while recognizing that most people have never been exposed to better alternatives, and that eventually the job of people like me may be to help build a culture worth living in, where a third of us are not thinking about putting bullets in their heads or jumping off a bridge.  You need a healthy ego to have the strength to swim against such a large, sucking whirlpool of vacuity and meaningless consumption and stupidity.  People know Vince Neil, but not the great writers of the 20th century.

Yeah, I started with cucumbers.  I am a bit of grumpy human being.  I hurt all the time, emotionally, and it comes out whenever I stop holding it back.  I continue to try daily and weekly to fix that.  I will get there eventually.  I will be a bit radioactive until then.

 Just putting that out there.  If you can’t figure it out, I’m not writing for you.

 How much time do you spent touching plastic, and how much fresh or pickled vegetables or fruits?  Or for that matter, good fresh clean dirt?

I will add, I don’t know how to put it, but I feel that a big part of our problems stem from the fact that vegetables don’t play the role in our lives that they did for our grandparents, and certainly THEIR grandparents.

There is something in vegetables that is necessary, but not obviously necessary, and I don’t just mean nutritionally.  I’m honestly not sure what I mean.

I think veggies help us stay more alkaline with less effort.  Our body naturally maintains a fixed PH, but if you keep adding acid to it, getting it back to baseline takes more work, and would think if you ate ONLY foods which wound up lowering your PH that at some point it would be impossible.  

But I think veggies have an energetic, calming influence as well.  Plants perhaps feel stress, but slowly, and in a very different way from us animals.

 What all Governors should be providing daily is new COVID cases, the likely margin of error (we still don’t know if regular cold bugs can create false positives), new hospitalizations, hospital utilization rate, new deaths purely attributable to COVID, new deaths where it was one factor including old age and general decrepitude, TOTAL deaths–this is a key one–from all causes, suicides, drug overdoses, business starts and business failures.

Such a dashboard would allow an honest evaluation of the risk and the success or failure of the policy.

Self evidently, that is PRECISELY why no one is providing such a thing.  These policies ARE failures.  It is really beyond dispute, in my view.

 I think I have said this before, but if there is no outside, there is no inside, and if there is no inside, there is no culture, at least no common culture, which is how most of us tend to use the term.

I will speculate that Leftism–and cultism in general–is an effort to turn Gesellschaft into Gemeinschaft through direct emotional, social, political and eventually physical violence.  This was the core argument Rousseau made, and upon the basis of which events as varied as the French Revolution and Pol Pot’s political democide were perpetrated.

But a true culture frees people, at least from anomie.  Confining people into small boxes is the opposite of the intended result, which can only be obtained through sustained freedom protected by the rule of law, and enriched through a shared base moral code.
