If I encounter someone at a store, and neither of us has COVID-19 (remember that?  It’s why you see so many people wearing masks, and why two of your favorite restaurants went out of business), then the chance of me getting COVID-19 is the same as the risk of them transmitting brain cancer, Marburg Virus, an inability to jump, musical talent, or a knack for sarcasm: Zero.  Zero with masks, still zero without masks.

And it appears to be the case that only symptomatic people transmit this, and then only until they develop antibodies, which takes approximately ten days for most.

Think about it: how would an asymptomatic person transmit it?  The virus is in their blood and lungs.  One of the two has to be transferred between the two of you.

In theory, they could pick their nose, pick some up, put it on an surface, which you then touch, and which you then internalize by picking your nose without washing your hands.  Nose to nose transmission via a surface.

But 1) the virus does not seem to last long on most surfaces; and 2) this circumstance only happens if both of you pick your noses without washing your hands.  Keep your hands out of your eyes and nose, and wash them after every interaction with potentially contaminated surfaces, and you are good.

But the asypmtomatic person cannot get to you through the air whether you are wearing a mask or not.  I think everyone with any sense would agree with this.  And as I say, it appears asymptomatic people may not be contagious at all, so zero risk.

So the only people in any given grocery store it makes ANY sense to worry about are those coughing and sneezing LIKE THEY ARE SICK.  If those people stay home–and most seem to be doing that, if there even remain any noteworthy number of people who have this thing in this country–then the masks on all sides do nothing.

And this is over and above the New England Journal of Medicine’s claim that to get this thing you really need to be in a confined space, like a bedroom, for at least five minutes and perhaps up to thirty minutes, with someone who is coughing and sneezing up the virus.  None of that is relevant in any business, or any store, if no one is coughing and sneezing.

And I would finally note that the debates over mask wearing really assume at least N95 masks being worn properly, i.e. the nose not visible, and a snug fit around the nose and mouth.  If I can see your nose, or you are wearing a bandana, then the whole things is symbolic show.  Nothing more.  It is completely fucking useless, on all accounts.  It’s useless if you don’t encounter anyone who is sick, and still useless if you do.

This same logic is available to all. 

I will wonder aloud again how deep the desire goes on the part of the Globalists/Deep State to injure all of us psychologically through these rituals which have no honest scientific purpose.

The best possible spin on all this is that it is stupid.  The obvious alternative is that it is malicious and wicked.

You know, I really do think I reason my way to my own conclusions, but am periodically reminded that so too do all other reasonably intelligent and independent people. This is from about 30 years, but as John Cleese points out in the tweet, it might have been ten minutes ago, although the enemies list may have changed slightly.

My own tone is slowly softening, which was my hope and my predictions.  My views won’t change as I heal and evolve, but I fully expect my manner of explaining them–and specifically my degree of pugnacity in the face of opposition–to change a lot.

If I’m honest, if I’m debating someone whose main goal is really just to get me to lose my temper and discontinue the exchange, then when I DO lose my temper, they win.  They don’t win intellectually, obviously.  Their bad ideas do not thereby become good.

However, I do believe myself to be better than them, so holding myself to a higher standard is reasonable.  They then become agents of my growth, and the chance is non-zero–as it likely is in most of my past exchanges–that I might actually change a mind, perhaps of an observer, if not the person trying to push my buttons.

What BLM and white radicals in general are doing to the black community is really not that different from what white radicals did to the South Vietnamese in the Vietnam War.

In the former case they portray all black failure as the result of white people, and as white people (BLM has blacks in it, but the leadership I am very sure is saturated with white radicals) they claim to be able to rectify all these failures for the black people.  They perpetrate, in other words, the crimes alleged in their own narrative.  They teach blacks to fail, while blaming everyone but themselves when it happens.

In the Vietnam War, we were helping South Vietnam protect itself from a North Vietnamese invasion.  That is the historical fact.

We were, in other words, fighting alongside “brown men” who were being attacked by other “brown men”.  We were fighting with a nation which improved a lot while we were there–including the extensive land reform which had long been demanded–against a totalitarian state where disobedience often meant instant death, or slow death through the exhaustion of a work camp.

But the war was portrayed as one of white men against the “brown man”.  And the white radicals wanted to punish their fellow whites for their racism and imperialism.  So they created the political climate in which a war which had already been won–where a peace treaty was already signed, and fighting ended–was lost in the end, due solely to our abandonment of South Vietnam.

Ultimately, millions of people died.  Many tens of thousands of boat people, just from Vietnam died.  Perhaps two hundred thousand South Vietnamese were summarily executed.  Hundreds of thousands of families were broken apart, their homes and possessions confiscated, and many wives never saw their husbands again, or either their children, who were often sent to brainwashing camps.

And the Khmer Rouge–who long, long predated the militarily necessary bombings in Cambodia–most likely would not have won, had we not abandoned the Cambodian government entirely.  You know, to keep white people from killing brown people. 

That abandonment led to one of the most horrific genocides on record, where large numbers of people were literally tortured to death, dozens every day in de facto dungeons all over Cambodia.  The death toll was up to perhaps a third of the population, which percentage wise dwarfs the Holocaust.

Yet somehow, through these enormous failures which would cause any person possessing an authentic conscience to feel terrible pangs of remorse and regret, the radical whites continued to believe in their own moral superiority, the necessity of their subversive efforts, and continued to believe that winning Communist control in this county would do anything different than what happened everywhere else.

You cannot not be borderline clinically schizophrenic and believe these fantasies. Yet, believed they are, by many people who are shaping the views of our young. 

It’s a bit like watching a horror movie.  You know it will not end well, but it is hard to know what to do.  Delusion and vanity are powerful emotions.

The elevation of one person or group does not require the denigration of everyone else.

At root, BLM is about trying to tear down, not build up.  There is no positive vision for the black community.  The calls for “justice”–with respect to a police officer who has been arrested and charged with murder, which is how the system is supposed to work–are really a smoke screen for nihilistic violence.

Are black lives being improved by Black Lives Matter?  I don’t see it.  Quite the contrary.  I see the ruin of countless dreams, endless hours of tough labor, and a repudiation of the faith particularly minorities and immigrants placed in our system.

All of this is only made possible by craven and largely wicked Democrat leaders.

It’s all there.  It’s on your TV.  It’s on your computer screen.  It’s on your streets, if you go downtown and look, which I have.

Where we are at, propaganda-wise, is at the beginning stage of a fight to determine the narrative of this time.  The REALITY of it, as far as I can see, is that in their desperation–like trapped animals in a cage–the Democrats have decided to destroy as much of America as they can.  If they can’t prevent Trump from getting reelected, at least they can punish the world.

The people who control our media are likely still working out how they will spin the past month or more of completely unnecessary, utterly destructive coerced labor stoppages.  But you can take it to the bank that it will blame anyone but those responsible.

The truth needs to be spoken by those who see it.  They need to do so publicly, clearly, and often.

We were played.  A trial run testing our compliance was conducted on us.  A large assault on our freedom, our prosperity, and our very soul was made, and continues. 

This is the truth, as I see it.  If you agree, make it known–or, to be clear, your own personal take on all this, modified from mine as you see fit–wherever you live, figuratively and literally.

I was meditating today and it hit me that where personal growth is concerned, the goal is not so much releasing trapped memories, but in loosening the energetic fields which hold them, as if they were encased in amber.  Memories are objects within a field.  Causing that energy to begin to flow again is the goal.  The memories are a byproduct, and it is important not to fetishize them, as most therapists implicitly recognize by suggesting no one get “trapped in their story”.

I was further contemplating that the Self, itself, represents a sort of energetic structure that makes action more efficient.  It is a sort of railroad tracks, which guide you efficiently from one Point A to another Point B.  It prevents you from getting lost, distracted, bewildered, ineffectual.

One common heuristic we use is asking ourselves if person so and so–and it may be us–is confronted with such and such a situation, how will they deal with it?  To the extent personality means anything, the answer is in our often correct guesses, when the actual test is done.

We speak of character.  When X happens, someone with character does Y, and someone without it does Z.

Socially, it is important to know what to expect of one another.  In this respect, the formation of a personal self, and a larger social sense of context and social self, is vitally important.

But spiritually, it may be that nothing really needs to be done.  Our lives are necessarily torn between these two realities.  As Lao Tzu put it, in the first stanza, “Ever desireless, one sees the Mystery; ever desiring, one sees the manifestations.”

We live in a deep ocean, which perhaps no manifest being in the universe truly understands.  But we also have bills to pay, and friendships to tend.

It is important, I think, to think about these things.  But not too much.  There is no equation sufficient to this purpose, no words, and no nameable path.  This does not mean there is not a Way for each of us.

Words are often wasted.  But not all words, with respect to all people.

Not a fucking word on the outstanding results, more or less, being obtained in Texas and Georgia and elsewhere in either of our major State rags.

There is at least a triple intent in all this. 

1) they want to prevent Trump from having rallies in Blue or Purple States.  North Carolina already pushed him out of their State.  Dem Governors–if they don’t wind up with mass riots on their hands in coming months from desperate and pissed off white people–will do everything they can to keep pretending this virus is still with us, with all the power that fear–if their story is believed–buys them.

2) They want to push the fear close enough to November that they can maximize their use of mail-in ballots, with all the fraud that makes possible.  You don’t need a voter ID to mail in a ballot.  As far as I know, absent an actual audit which would involve contacting people, there is no way to verify who filled out the ballot and mailed it in.  5 people could fill out thousands of ballots, easily. 

And the Democrats, obviously, have lists of who votes and who doesn’t, who is a shut in and who isn’t, and they have a very good idea which names they can steal.  And if they are dead, they definitely don’t need to worry about ballot duplication.  That’s why those names are so valuable.  But nationally there are several million more people registered to vote than eligible.

There can be zero doubt that they plan to cheat.  We have video from the last election from James O’Keefe with their dirty tricks team saying that they do it every election, plan it carefully, and get away with it pretty much every time.  They hire professionals, who know how to game the system, and where they can get away with it.  If you have one really dirty county, say, in California, say in LA, then you can get enough illegal votes just in that county to swing the whole State.  This is the game.  They do it in places like Iowa and Michigan and Ohio.

And as I’m sure I’ve commented often, no valid argument exists against the use of voter ID.  The poorest people in India have to have voting cards to vote.  To call voter ID racist is to call black people stupid.  For some weird reason, many blacks still seem not to have figured this out.

3) They want to crash the economy, blame it on Trump, then campaign on fixing it.

This reminds me of a comment on Umbrella Man (watch the first half or so.  They get to him pretty quickly): he is allegedly a cop.  Think about this: we have seen cases in California that I remember where firefighters started fires so they could get overtime fighting them.  It seems unbelievable, but it’s happened. What about a cop who wants more overtime?

With regards to the Dem’s, why not win elections by creating problems you then claim you will fix?

I have long struggled with the notion of sentimentality.  After all, for many Americans our problem is that we feel too little.  8 hours a day–at least, for many–of death and constant chatter makes us numb, it makes our emotional skins thick.

I wrote symbolic actions create symbolic results.  But how does the symbolic result manifest?  In superficial emotion, aka sentimentality.

Therefore symbolic actions work to create sentimental emotions.  If the desired result is emotion, then this is a logical process.  The action yields, reliably, the intended result.

What this process is NOT, however, is useful.  It is solipsistic.

You know what?  I’m going to leave you to draw the obvious conclusions.

I will simply add a further comment that in the same sense abstraction for the sake of abstraction betrays deep unwanted and ugly emotions, that sentimentality pursued for the sake of sentimentality reliably implies disordered, fantastical, virtual schizophrenic (in the proper use of the word) thinking.

If you feel clearly, you think clearly.  If I have an advantage as a thinker–over and above the pugnaciousness that allows me to easily think and express forbidden and (I hope) original thoughts–it is that I work daily to examine and process my deep emotions, my shadow, and work daily to understand the architecture and structure of the subterranean worlds which all of us have, and which affect everything we do every day.

To put it mildly, most academics, politicians, and self described intellectuals don’t do this, not really.  They run everything through a filter, through what I have called a Tubaform, of one sort or another.  They never get to primary experience.  That requires a tool, like effective, intelligent meditation, practiced often.

It occurs to me that sentimentality might be defined as “the drive to indulge regularly in derivative emotional cliches.”

And you know, it’s not MY world–not the white male world–that is being destroyed.  It is the worlds of black men and women and boys and girls too.  And those of Asian Americans and Latinos and Native Americans and everyone else.   It’s all on the chopping block.  There is no mercy in this crowd, no decency, no restraint.  It’s all about death and fire, in the end, the thin patina of self righteous rhetoric notwithstanding.  History is clear on this.  These psychiatric maladies have expressed themselves countless times in human history, beginning long before the invention of the first alphabet.

This amounts to a cri de coeur, since he (or she) has to know there will be an Inquisition, and the Stasi will probably find him or her and professionally execute them, her lawyering up and presumed tenure notwithstanding.

I get Victor Zammit’s email every week.  You can subscribe at www.victorzammit.com .  Just put your email in to subscribe to the Friday Afterlife Report.

This week (actually, I’m behind, so it was most likely a few weeks ago), he had this video, which is all information I’ve seen, but it did spur one thought in me I will share in a moment: https://youtu.be/0WNKIJfy2ao

Last week, this idea, if not this specific video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FYGRztyR24

Here is the thing: there is enormous spiritual, or if you will subtle, energy inherent in Trump filling large, enthusiastic, energized and focused stadiums.  There is energy inherent in people simply getting together and thinking about something together.

There is a coherence to it all.  I don’t think Dean Radin or Roger Nelson have taken a Random Number Generator to a Trump rally, but if they did, I think they would see a large spike.

So when you look at what amounts to a tactic to push people apart (remember, SOCIAL, not physical, distancing), and to mute their personalities (scientifically unwarranted mask wearing, which mask facial differences and facial expressions, and even in my experience speech), it is hard not to wonder if the intent is not at least intuitively to separate all of us spiritually as well as socially.

This is evil.  Death and pain of all sorts are being dealt, in the pursuit of lunatic political–which amount to personal psychological–objectives.

If you pray, pray for the victory of sanity in this nation and the reelection of  Donald Trump.  Pray for his guidance and wisdom.  Pray for our other leaders.

And pray in groups of 8 or so, if you can. 

One last video, on skeptics, also from the Zammit report: https://youtu.be/aNzZ2TRmcmw

Any articles on the successes of the reopenings in Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, and elsewhere? 

Any articles celebrating the seeming end of this ridiculous charade? 

I very much doubt it.

Click on your local paper, and you will probably see RACE, RACE, RACE, shouted by people who have been fucking black people over for fifty years.  Jim Crow ended, so they got creative, and said “PSST, hey buddy, want some free stuff?  Oh, and you won’t have to work any more.  Or go to school.  All you have to do now is vote.”

That’s only a slight exaggeration, in my view.  The more I think about it, the more I think white radicals sold the black community snake oil they would never take for themselves.
