Merchants and Whores

Both of these offer goods and services. But, there comes a time where people will stop buying what they are selling. If, by what I read in the so-called news that time is fast approaching. What I refer to is Covid19, the new variants and the so-called vaccines and the might be needed possible boosters.

We as a nation are well into our second year of this ___________(do feel free to insert the word of your choice). Many people have pointed out this, if this “virus” is so deadly then why is there a constant “need” to keep telling the public that this is and we are in the midst of the worst pandemic in over a century. It has also been pointed out that one must be tested for this “deadly” virus to find out if they have it.

The merchants and whores I speak of are the Fear Merchants and Publicity Whores, most play both roles(some pose as doctors or scientists or both).

Let us look at some of what you are selling that more and more people are not buying.

I will start with the so-called vaccines. If the so-called news reports are true you appear to be giving out of willing recipients. You even came up with a nifty term, you call it vaccine hesitancy. Then you came up with a lot of reasons why some are hesitant, you even cited polling data to back up your conclusions(More on these stupid polls later). It could be that you look at this from the wrong angle. Perhaps you should be asking, How is it possible that so many were willing to “take the jab”, when the jab was an unapproved vaccine being offered under an Emergency Use Authorization. Add to that the manufacturers of these vaccines were given immunity. Without going too far down this rabbit hole I will just leave that there.

How were you able to “sell” the vaccine in the first place. If I remember correctly, you claimed the vaccine was the “path” back to normal. Get the jab get your life back, do as you did before. People got the jab and you still held their life hostage.

As the daily rate of vaccinations slowed you came up with a gimmick. Everything from free beer to lottery tickets. You claim rates went up but have apparently fallen off again. A rather lofty goal was set, the goal was to get 70% of the population vaccinated by July Fourth. It appears you will fall short of that goal.

Now to the Publicity Whores for a bit who are also Fear Merchants. Enter the Delta variant. A variant of concern. This is now being used to stoke fear into the population again. For the Fear Merchant Publicity Whores. How in the world are you able to get any real work done with all of the time you spend on TV?

Back to the virus and vaccines. If this virus is so deadly and your vaccines are so effective, why are you using gimmicks to get people to take the jab?

There will come a time when your daily vaccination rate drops to Zero. People that are fully vaccinated are still coming down with covid19, still be hospitalized and still dying. Some recipients are suffering some pretty severe side effects from the jab.

Now we come to what I call the fun part of this post.

I listen to what people have to say, regardless of what they say or their political persuasion. Which is something more of you should try.

Even though I know that you are a fear merchant and publicity whore I still listen to what you say. To date you have failed to convince me. You on the other hand will not listen to what I have to say. I doubt that you have ever listened to yourself. You have said some pretty remarkable stuff for a leftist, and in some cases you have even written some pretty remarkable stuff.

You have said we should follow the science, trust the science. One even got his panties in a bunch when criticism came his way. When it comes to following the science when it comes to covid19 the science keeps changing. I suppose that is the way it is with science, it keeps changing.

Hold the phone. How can science keep changing when it comes to covid19 and the variants when we are told that the science is settled and the time for debate is over when it come to climate change? Are their two sciences, one that is settled and one that keeps changing? Or is one just bovine feces?

When it comes to the vaccines and the adverse side effects. You have said and indeed written that the benefits of the vaccines far outweigh the risks.

Hold the phone. How can it be that when it comes to vaccines the benefits outweigh the risks when at the same time we are told that living in a society where the citizens are armed the risks outweigh the benefits. I am thinking again one of these is bovine feces.

Just wondering when

I am just wondering when the push back will start. I, for one, am getting more and more skeptical by the day. No, I am not talking about the election and the results. I am talking about this whole Wuhan novel corona virus ordeal and the petty tyrants it has spawned.

Everyday I read where Governors and other elected officials around the country are planning a new series of crackdowns because of the continual rise of infections, hospitalizations and deaths due to the virus.

Which brings me to these questions. If this virus is so deadly then why the hell are they planning more crackdowns in the future and not implementing those measures immediately? Why are gatherings being limited to a certain number and not just outright forbidden? Why is there such a variance in the ages of children when they must wear a mask? Some states decree age two while others decree age five. Instead of listing all of my questions as you read along you may come up with your own questions.

Thanksgiving is just two days away and some of you will be having your Thanksgiving alone as you are forbidden to gather in groups of varying size, some of you will be forced outdoors, and some of you will have only an allotted time to celebrate with family or friends and you will be mandated to wear a mask. Some of you have been threatened with rather hefty fines and even jail time if you fail to comply with these decrees.. All this brought about by petty tyrants, mad on power.

Took a little time this evening to check the Covid19 numbers and to check the several States decrees, in force and those planned. I checked the list of States with a mask mandate and also checked the number of infections and deaths. I also checked the States without a mask mandate number of infections and deaths. I then had to wonder why people in states with mask mandates were still experiencing high infection rates.

We will never be told the truth about how many became infected even though they wore the mask, practiced social distancing, and did frequent hand washing. After all they never told us the truth about mask wearing in the beginning. Or did they? They did say that wearing a mask was not necessary. I seem to remember someone saying, “Seriously stop buying masks”.

Then I remembered something from long ago. “If the disease doesn’t kill you the cure might”. Remember back to the grand and glorious plan to flatten the curve. Talk began about shutting down the economy. The choice of words was purely political, it was more than shutting down the economy it was shutting down the country. It was not a national shutdown, it came from the State and Local level. The result was the same. Someone mentioned that the cure could be worse than the disease.

Then something more recent came to me. There was a gentleman testifying before Congress about the effectiveness of masks. He said, something to the effect of, masks were the most important tool in stopping the spread of the virus, even more effective than a vaccine. In the video this gentleman could not even wear a mask properly and he is a doctor. Then I went back to the old, If the disease doesn’t kill you the cure might”.

This brought me to those damned masks. Could the masks be the reason people are still getting infected and hospitalized? The only way we would ever know that answer would be if somebody had the courage to step forward and tell us and not be censored.

Now comes this. The same organization the gentleman testifying before Congress that could not even wear the mask correctly has now changed their story on how long one should quarantine. They now say instead of 14 days one should quarantine for 7 to 10 days. Well which is it 7 or 10? Pick one, obviously 14 was wrong. Read the whole article. It also explains whose fault it is that the 14 day quarantine was ineffective.

Perhaps these so-called experts have been wrong about everything all along.

If the current legal challenges over the election fall short we will get a new president in January. Will the new administration decree a national mask mandate? Probably not. They will instead use the old tried and proven route. Coercion. The administration or some agency in the administration will make a strong suggestion to the Governors of the remaining States without a mask mandate to implement one. You know how this works. I ( the federal government) cant make you but I (the federal government) can make you wish you did. Federal funding.

Now I have to wonder which of the remaining States will be the last to be forced into issuing a mask mandate. I think it will be either Florida or South Dakota, my money is on my Home State of Florida. If you do not think the federal government would stoop so low then you do not know history. Historically speaking Rhode Island wanted no part of joining the Union. Find out why and how they were forced to join a “voluntary” union.

When they, the federal government, finally has everyone wearing a mask, what some have taken to calling a face diaper, people will find out that the incoming administration has no plan to deal with this virus.

What you will find is this. The rate of infections will suddenly drop. As will hospitalizations from the virus. As well as deaths from the virus. Citizens of this country will once again die from heart attacks, cancer, complications from diabetes, strokes and all the things they had died from before. It will be a miracle. They will claim it is because everybody is wearing a mask.

Is it really about a virus with a 94% chance of survival? Or is it about control of the population through behavior modification?

We really should question everything.

And yes, so you will not be surprised. You will still see elected officials and bureaucrats violating their own edicts. When caught they will still offer some excuse about what they should have done or blame someone for ambushing them. Bad optics, they call it. But then again their edicts are for you and me, not them as they are the privileged elite.

DEO VINDICE

Well here we are

Six days after Election Day and still votes are being counted with no clear winner and no clear loser, though one has been projected to be the winner. Like the 2000 presidential election this one is headed to the Courts. Again we find ourselves in the position of having men and women in black robes deciding the outcome of the election.

Imagine that. A branch of government deciding who runs the government. But what the heck, government already gets to determine how much power and control the government has. Government decides the power of government.

While it is true that the news media outlets do not get to declare who wins and loses. Victory and concession speeches have for many years been given on their predictions. Therefore when I hear one side or the other lamenting about the media calling the election I have to wonder why this was never an issue before especially when you were declared the winner by the media. This has been going on for so long that many if not most of the voters in this country believe they, the media, actually have the authority to declare winners and losers. Political parties also accepted the projections of the media for years, at least up until the 2000 elections in Florida. The count was taken the winner declared, the margin was close enough to trigger an automatic recount. The recount was done with the same results, that was not good enough. A concession speech was given and then withdrawn. Then the drama unfolded before our eyes. The election was settled in the Courts. For the next Four years President George W. Bush was viewed as an illegitimate president by the left.

This legal challenge will be vastly different than the legal challenge mounted in 2000. This is not going to be about hanging chads, dimpled chads or even voter intent. This legal challenge is about fraud, voter fraud and indeed election fraud. Allegations have been made (back to this in just a minute).

Let me address allegations for a minute. President Trump, his legal team and the RNC among others have made allegations of voter fraud. The left including the media and some in the republican party are doing their best to get these allegations dismissed as they have been made without a shred of proof. This is the same lot that have been accepting every allegation made against President Trump during his entire presidency and the during the republican primaries as fact, yet not a shred of proof ever emerged supporting the allegations.

Just a bonus in this not a shred of evidence category. Many in the media are running articles in which this person or that person is encouraging President Trump to concede. From anonymous sources of course and not a shred of proof and no possible way to verify, yet they report it as fact. I thought that the media, mainstream and social, were all into facts and fact checking.

Back to the legal challenge being mounted. The allegation of fraud is serious. Here is just some of what I have heard. I am not saying it is true or untrue, this is not my department.

There is reported to be in excess of a half million votes cast for President but with no other marks on the ballot. This seems a bit odd as there was much for the voter to decide on the ballot. Besides if the vote for president was the only vote cast on the ballot why is no one screaming about under votes and voter intent. In the past most would continue down the ballot voting for their particular political party, hence under votes and possible intent. Some members of Congress lost either their bid for election or re-election because only a vote for President was cast, yet no one mentions that. They instead blame the use of words like socialist and socialism.

It was also reported that observers were barred from observing the counting process. If you have nothing to hide and observers are permitted or required why are they being denied?

It has also been reported that some voting precincts exceeded 100%. How can one get more than all of something or anything? 100% is all after all.

These legal challenges to the election process are a two edged sword.

First. Is these allegations are true more than fraud will have occurred. If they are on a scale as reported there comes a new problem. That new problem is, conspiracy to commit fraud. If a conspiracy comes to light it will have to be investigated to see how far it goes. I do not think a few rouge individuals engaged in this activity will go over this time. Some pretty powerful people could find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Second. If these allegations are just ignored many voters will believe they have been cheated and that could lead to some very dark and dangerous places. Oddly enough if they be true we again may well find ourselves in a very dark and dangerous place.

I may as well toss this in. If it comes down too this election was won by fraud, many in this land will wonder how the hell this happened. Many election officials have already admitted that some fraud may have occurred, but only a small amount. Quick question, How much fraud is permissible in an election?

Could it be that if this election is indeed fraudulent could it have come about by and courtesy of the biggest hoax ever pulled on this nation? Covid19.

Credibility, whether lost or thrown away, is at best hard to regain and at worst impossible to regain. When it comes to the Wuhan novel corona virus, Covid19 or whatever it is called the scientists and so-called experts have lost all credibility with me. Not just because of the overinflated numbers(that in itself is bad enough)but because of what they call super spreader events. They are quick to call Churches and associated Church events super spreader events. They were quick to label a motorcycle event as also a super spreader event. They are just as quick to label common everyday events in life as super spreader events. They warn us not to gather with family. All this and they have yet to link the first positive test result associated with the riots of this past summer and in some areas continuing to this day. Not the first positive test will be associated with the victory celebrations of this past weekend. They have yet to issue a warning to the participants to avoid the crowds. I do have to wonder if they would be just as silent if it had gone the other way. If it had gone the other way how many positive cases would be associated with the celebrations?

The so-called pandemic is what ushered in mass mail-in voting. This is only an intermediate stop along the way. Much like the ACA aka Obamacare was only an intermediate stop on the way to single-payer.

The way this election was handled the true results may never be known. If it turns out the whole thing was a fraud can the damage done ever be undone?

Like I said this mass mail-in voting was just a step closer to the objective. The objective is online voting. If you do not see this coming then you have eyes but can not see.

The American electoral system’s credibility took a big hit with early voting. It took an even bigger hit with this years mass mail-in voting. Online voting will destroy all credibility. The election of 2016 may have been the last fair and honest(as honest as can be had)election.

Stalin may have been right about who and what counts.
