I forget who said it, but someone pointed out that PHYSICAL courage is not that uncommon, presumably not least because of peer pressure and an intense desire not to let anyone down.

But MORAL courage is rare.  There is no one shooting at you.  No one will fault you, most of the time, with going along to get along.

That is why I personally fucking LOVE what this guy did.  Here is one link to the whole thing: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/09/wrong-will-not-stand-lt-col-schellers-attorney-joins-tucker-carlson-discuss-political-imprisonment-speaking-bidens-afghanistan-debacle-marines-fathe/

I was talking with an ex-Marine (oh, wait, you are always a Marine, unless you get fucking railroaded, in which case it is your choice), who said he won’t do jail time.

That may or may not be true, but here is the thing: all Marines accept they may be shot.  But how many accept that you sometimes have to risk JAIL, Dishonorable Discharge, and contempt from your superior officers to DO THE RIGHT FUCKING THING?

This guy is a HUGE hero in my book, and at least the guy I was talking to said he earned the respect of a lot of Marines who still felt too afraid to speak up publicly.

If it is your soul or death, walk into the fucking buzz saw.  That is my view.  You don’t have to like the buzz saw, but fear DEEPLY the loss of your soul.  What is left, when you forget who you are, and have lost the energetic habit of courage?

I think this is great.  This act may be symbolic now, but it may have important and real world consequences at some time.  And either way, he protected his honor and his sense of self, against an awful attack.

I personally love stubborn people.

I was relaxing deeply the other day–at least, as far as I can get at this point–and asked the universe “what is our greatest threat?”

The answer came back “video games”.

Now, that may seem like an odd answer, but I thought about it, and will make a few points.

1. Video games are almost exclusively visual, and if you spend hundreds or thousands of hours playing them, especially when growing up, it seems likely that many other neural pathways become stunted.  Over and above the violence, the process itself makes you less responsive emotionally, less alive, and less human.  Or so I feel.
2. Video games ARE violent.  They desensitize kids (and adults), and make violence more acceptable, if not proximately more likely.  This is well documented, by among others David Grossman.  And ponder the effects of extremely realistic violence in Virtual Reality.  And what is not possible?  Virtual torture?  Virtual child pornography, in which no actual children are harmed?  Those things most likely already exist, and if memory serves they already had to ban child sex dolls somewhere, perhaps this country.
3. Video games are an easy gateway drug for neural connections to a wider network.  You don’t operate a controller: you just THINK, and it happens.  Obviously, though, any signal going one way, can go the other way.  If you are linked, you can be controlled.

Big picture, a VERY high percentage of at least American children spend much of their youth hiding in their bedrooms watching screens.  They are not being socialized.  They are not becoming social animals.  They play video games, watch movies, and watch porn whenever puberty hits, or maybe even before.

Where will we be, even if everything else works out, in 50 years if we cannot find ways to bring these kids back into the human race?

I think such a thing is possible–I think brains can be rewired for connection–but we will need a method, and we will need to recognize it as a problem.

It’s hard enough living as a truly aware human being in this world.  If you spend all your time in a constructed alternative world, it becomes that much harder.  You are one long and large step farther down the rabbit hole.

Thoughts are the output of intelligence.  High level intelligence will produce thoughts which tend to be useful, accurate, and meaningful.

It occurred to me, though, that if we use the metaphor of energy centers–which I personally think describes something real, but your assent is not necessary to this exercise–then just as there are countless possible thoughts, with varying qualities, so too are there countless ways to express will (the throat), love and compassion (the heart), and sensual connection and  pleasure (the gut and lower).

Lately I have been having dreams that I can only describe as revealing to me, now, feelings I had many years ago but never felt.  I am getting back the feelings I was suppressing when I was numb.  Feeling is coming back, and I have to say some of these are pretty unpleasant.  It is no wonder I suppressed them.

But as I have felt often, and perhaps said occasionally, there is a sort of emotional Rube Goldberg machine in the background of our consciousness.  One root something leads to something else to something else to something else.  The Buddhists, in what reading I have done, not uncommonly do this sort of thing.

As one example, though, I got at the root of the latent depression I felt as a teenager and young adult.  It was three or four layers back.  It has no name.  It is THAT.  I can vaguely conjure it now in memory, but it has no form, no texture.  But getting to it is, I feel, quite an accomplishment.

And here is what I will wonder aloud: what is the POINT of transhumanism?  It’s taking an enormous amount of money, and that same money could be spent documenting and proving that the soul survives death.  For most intents and purposes that has been done already.

Yes, the notion of living indefinitely as an infinitely intelligent cyborg has appeal to a certain personality type, but you die going in, don’t you?  The “you” you know will disappear.  Is it not worth mentating for some period of time what it is you want to endure?  Because the QUALITY of your experience, even if this whole thing proves technologically feasible, is going to change.  Do you know if a sunrise will feel as good?

And what happens to all the subtle qualities of experience I mentioned, of will, of love, of sense experience?

As far as I can tell, most of the people pushing this dream of omniscience, as seen from a factual perspective.  Rather than look things up on their phones the answers will simply appear to them in their minds.

So what?  You get to be the smartest thing in the room?  If everyone else is similarly equipped, the smartest one is the one with the best data connection and processing speed.

To take over the world?  To what purpose?  To gloat for a time, then find yourself with nothing to do?  Go to other planets?  For what?  New experiences?  You got rid of most of your capacity for that sort of thing, which is almost inherently animalian, primitive.

Nearly everyone running around–and that is the phrase–today has major emotional issues.  As I commented elsewhere, all of us not unreasonably, when we were born, had, or should have had, the right to expect two things;

1. A mother who loves us.
2. A culture able and willing to give us a sense of place and purpose.

But the women are working, and childcare outsourced from relatively young ages.  And single mothers are often so tired they are not emotionally available; that, or they were children themselves when they got pregnant.

And the culture as a whole is obsessed solely with surface level experience, with thrills, with vanity and the vanishing.  It has little to offer the thoughtful.

For much of the 20th century many literary sorts seemed to think that prose of all sorts represented an answer of sorts, but it doesn’t.  It offers a higher quality experience.

We need a systematic way to calm down, to learn to tolerate silence and solitude and stillness.  Once such a thing is achieved, THEN something like literature could be reintroduced, for processing on deep levels, those of human experience distilled and portrayed.  A meditative book club.

Kum Nye, I will say again–that of Tarthang Tulku–is the best path I know, although Autogenics 3.0 also has much to commend it.  I am reading that book right now, and using his methods with some success.

But just a a high level comment, trans-humanism seems to START from certain assumptions that are highly questionable.  I think it is pursued mainly by smart people who have always considered intelligence the highest and best quality in human life.  They accept Materialistic Monism uncritically, despite the enormous challenges Quantum Theory presents to that worldview and scientific hypothesis.

I think this is foolish, and in its own way, extremely UNintelligent.

By and large, my gut tells me that these injection are not that dangerous for most people.  Within the paranoid world I touch in my daily readings, some are predicting EVERYONE who gets them will die young.

I can’t go there with them.

My main objection to these things is that they are UNNECESSARY.  There are other objections I will cover simply because I’m not sure I ever spoke to this exact topic directly, but this is the main one.

This disease kills 15 people in 10,000 who GET it.  Roughly a third of us seem to have natural immunity so that number may be lower.

Of those 15, 94% had at least one and often 2-3 existing health problems, perhaps most notably obesity–with nearly all young people dying having been fat and inactive–but also related problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, COPD, cancer, heart disease, and the like.  94%.  And most of the remaining 6% were over 70.

So, for the normal person walking the street, who gets in perhaps half their steps every day, and who jogs a bit here and there, and maybe does a yoga video a couple times a week, who maybe carries a few extra pounds but nothing serious: THIS DISEASE IS NOT DANGEROUS.

And as I keep saying, with proper vitamin supplementation, coupled on rare occasions with early medical interventions using HCQ or Ivermectin, the existing 15 in 10,000 could be reduced so near zero that every other cause of death would jump in front of it, most notably suicides and drug overdoses, EACH OF WHICH overtook car accidents several years ago as causes of death.

[And as I’ve noted, statistically, 3 Australians would die from SUICIDE for every one claimed to have died from COVID, using PRELOCKDOWN numbers.  One can only guess what the suicide rate in that authoritarian dystopia is right now.  What is ABSOLUTELY certain is that they are costing lives, not saving them, with the atrocities they are inflicting on their people.  Amnesty International should be protesting on behalf of the whole nation.]

This is the MATH.  This is the SCIENCE.  Why should we coerce people into a medical treatment we don’t really understand for a disease that is not dangerous?

Again, all you have to do is look at the politics of this to know SOMETHING is up.  The world has lost its fucking mind.

The second main objection, of course, is that it is pushing potentially worse variants.  As I saw someone put it yesterday–in one of the Rome meeting discussions–when you have a leaky vaccine, you reduce the natural incentive all viruses naturally have to become less lethal.  You potentially breed worse bugs.  Luc Montagnier has been making this case for something like a year.  His voice has been censored, even though as a Nobel Laureate with decades of relevant experience, he is easily in the 50 most qualified people on the planet to make claims like this, and self evidently vastly more qualified than the people censoring him.

As I say, my gut instinct is that this is a “normal” vaccine, in that it kills a small percentage of people who get it, and damages permanently a percentage more.  And without being able to quantify it, since I think vaccine deaths are some combination of underreported, and added dishonestly to the COVID death roles, I feel these injections are at least an order or more of magnitude more dangerous than normal, tested, proven vaccines (which I will remind you in general convey full immunity).  If a normal vaccine kills 1 in a million and permanently damages 15 in a million, I think this thing is at least ten times worse: it kills 1 in 100,000, and permanently damages 15 in 100,000.

I have seen some claim even higher numbers, that it kills 2 people for every person it saves.  What I feel confident saying is that reliable numbers are not being shared with the public.  We are being asked to provide uninformed consent, and not infrequently uninformed, coerced consent.

Now, if that 2 for 1 number were true, the injections themselves are a sort of pandemic, and I think there too we need to ask what we can do to mitigate the dangers.

I personally think anyone taking these shots should take a good quantity of fish oil for ten days before and ten days after.  This serves two purposes: 1) it is anti-inflammatory, and inflammation is the main killer; and 2) it is a blood thinner, with blood clots being the main medium of most damage.

I would also take 81 mg aspirin.  Personally, I take fish oil and aspirin every day because they are good for me.

It probably interests no one, but my daily routine, when I follow it properly, includes trying to get 30 grams of fiber, 150 g protein, and I take Glucosamine/Chondroitin, Gingko Biloba, Fish oil, Aspirin, Zinc, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Vitamin C (Ester-C seems to be better, although I won’t swear to it), Quercetin, Black Seed Oil, a melatonin sleep supplement, Skullcap extract, Krill oil, a blended mushroom extract, Inulin, and Collagen.  I also smoke a couple cigars every week, because I enjoy them, but Nicotine is also an anti-inflammatory, or so I hear.

It can’t be said too often that something is going on.  We cannot trust most of the governments of the world.  They are much too eager to destroy our liberties.  Only 27 Kiwis have died and they are locking up people smuggling banned fried chicken.  Only  a bit over 1,000 Australians have died, and they have turned it BACK into a giant fucking prison camp.

Pfizer feels empowered to say that all of us should be compelled to buy indefinitely a product they happen to be selling for a profit.

Strange times.  I think all of us have experienced, when traveling, a sort of delight in difference, in the strangeness and evocativeness of other places and cultures.  We are presently traveling through a TIME with similar otherworldly, distinctive, and INTERESTING feeling tones, which we may never feel again, one way or another.

I am doing my best to accept all that my life presents me.  It’s not easy, but it is the job, I think.  It is the job.  But accept with eyes wide open.

Listen to other people, but make your own decisions, and never, ever allow other people to talk you into seeing the world through their eyes.  Most of them are not seeing anything either.  They are asking you to blind yourself, for nothing.

And here is the thing: the power elite, which is working so hard to dupe all of us into giving up everything good in our lives, are blind too.  They know the plan.  They know what they are up to.  They konw where they want to go.  But no group CAPABLE of this sort of atrocity could possibly have anything like wisdom.  None of them could be capable of joy.  None of them could be capable of feeling the love of God, the peace of resting in spirit, or any of the true treasures offered to humankind.  That is blindness too.

You know and I know the Rome Declaration won’t be covered by most media.  I will be shocked if it is.

And it SHOULD be.  Highly qualified doctors have made non-trivial statements based on evidence and experience that we should listen to and consider in the halls of power, and in front of the water cooler.

Specifically, it needs to get out to as many DOCTORS as possible.  You can’t do that through media.  You won’t be able to do it through the AMA, which is every bit as corrupt as the CDC and NIH.

The doctors of the world need some means of banding together, and of communicating BETTER than they do today.  Obviously, all sorts of things go out continually that none of us see.  Perhaps this need is already taken care of.

But it SHOULD be the case that every practicing doctor hears of this thing in the next week, and there should be some mechanism of ensuring that.

And there needs to be some means for doctors to band together, as a de facto union, and push back against the encroachments on their profession, their professional judgment, and in the end their ability to heal their patients.  Many of them have been forced by NIH and CDC to watch people die they could have saved.  That has to hurt, for any genuinely caring person.

A mass of doctors saying NO would have political power.  And a mass of doctors aligned and organized somewhere other than the AMA would create the possibility of changing some things that need changing, such as the overwhelming focus on pharmaceuticals, and near complete silence regarding how people can protect their own health.

Doctors, as healers, can do much better.  But they will not do much better within this system, which exists to protect Big Pharma, and not to prevent illness, or in most cases to cure it.

Sports is one of our most important means of tribal connection.  If you want to be in the midst of a unified screaming mob, if you want to BELONG with your fellow tribesmen–in a spirit not entirely different from dancing around the fire–attending live sports events, or watching them with friends, is the closest many of us come.

This makes sports non-trivial socially, in many ways.

It’s easy to look on modern America and see superficiality.  I myself have done it many times, and most likely in the past week.  At the same time, a more astute eye can see hundreds of millions of souls trying to solve the problems of life in the best ways they can.

And an intelligent person would and should learn from them what they have figured out that WORKS.  Sports works, in many ways.  It is not quite a church, but not quite not a church, particularly when you compare it to arena churches.

I think for many of us, there is even a sort of mythos.  There are the greats like Gayle Sayers and Johnny Unitas.  There is the on-going disbelief some of us have sustained for some two decades that Tom Brady can be that fucking good.

There are many hidden patterns in the world, and many of the most interesting ones are found behind seemingly banal doors.

What happened?  Fiat currency happened.

WTF Happened in 1971?

Apparently both Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden have tweeted this in the past few days.

Here is the thing: money creation is theft.  That theft is measurable as increases in income disparity, and reductions in real wage growth despite huge increase in real value.

We just saw, perhaps, the largest theft in American history.  What did we print?  $4 trillion or something?  All that money will diminish the value of all other money in existence.  We call that process “inflation”, and remember inflation is a downriver symptom of theft.  It is a symptom, not the disease.

I continue to believe that this is THE issue, the core issue, the thing that drives our wars, our poverty, our employment cycles, and all the hate and frustration and anger and despair that go with all of those.

And I continue believe that, while a gold standard is good, fixing the quantity of money once and NEVER TOUCHING IT AGAIN, is by far the sanest, safest and most promising remedy we have for nearly everything.  Let us say only $5 trillion should be in existence.  Let it never vary.  Not one penny less, or one penny more.

The value of money in the bank would increase vastly faster than the best interest rates now.  It would make SENSE to save, to think about tomorrow, to plan for the future.  As I have said more than once the CULTURAL and social effects of inflation are subtle, but real and highly pernicious (like mask wearing, like locking people in their homes).

All of our problems have solutions.  All of them.  Environmental, population related, social, economic, medical: it can be palliated and in most cases eliminated.  We simply have to get the leaches off our back, who are sucking our sanity and national wealth dry.

Capitalists are the good guys, at least the honest ones.  It is BANKERS, and the people behind the bankers, behind our banking SYSTEM, who are the true crooks in all this.

The world could and should be vastly more prosperous and free than it is.  Bad money is, in the end, the core problem in nearly all cases.

Give this a look too: https://globalcovidsummit.org/news/san-juan-panel-undertreatment-cited-as-a-cause-for-hospitalizations-long-haul-covid

I will ask you to ponder one more time the FACT that safe treatments–Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin–for which we have many decades of data across cumulatively tens of billions of doses given, on the very low side–were suppressed when NO EARLY TREATMENT ALTERNATIVE EXISTED.

Remdesvir–which is presumably very profitable for Big Pharma–got an EUA, but very cheap, very safe medicines which showed promise were systematically suppressed and denigrated, with no second option.

If you got COVID, according to the NIH and CDC, and you talked with your doctor, he or she would tell you to home and wait.  If you got better, all was fine.  If not, to the hospital.  And what could the hospital do?  Keep you hydrated, maybe a Vitamin C drip, Remdesvir, and of course the death engines, the ventilators.

This is undertreatment.  The doctors agency and professional opinion were trampled on, and for no defensible reason.  That is why this conference happened.  That is why thousands of doctors are signing the declaration.

Remember, the two weeks to flatten the curve was originally about ventilators?  Do you remember that?  It’s good to forget awful things, and that was an awful thing.

But memory is what you need to recognize when people are lying to you, shifting around like snakes, and moving the goalposts and goals, changing the language, always clinging to the power, but changing the reasons.

This whole thing is madness.  Collective psychosis.  This disease kills 15 people in 10,000, who in nearly all cases were already sick.  It is less dangerous than the flu for everyone who is healthy, under 70 or so.  We deal with the flu every year.  Why not last year?  Why not this year?  Once it was clear we had adequate hospital capacity, why did we continue to do ANYTHING?

At first, it was about cheating Joe Biden into the White House, but the results were so spectacular, the bulk of the world so fucking supine with their asses in the air, just waiting for it again (BOHICA), that the scope was vastly expanded.  I don’t think anyone ever thought the world would be this fucking compliant and stupid, and certainly not the scientific world.
