SimComm - finally subscribed the other day. You are in rarified air for my Substack paid subscriptions - exactly 2. I thought I was the only one that was Screaming into the Void regarding the pandemic and other nonsense and then I found the comment section of these "blogs".
I appreciate the support! Every single sub helps me inch closer to the goal of doing this full time :)
And yes, the comment section here is one of the best parts of this 'Stack (and best comment sections around, IMO) -- hopefully you'll stick around and be a part of it :)
Yeah, except if we had a govt. worth a hill of beans, we wouldn't be getting ANY mandates, and they wouldn't be complicit in trying to KILL US... daaaaaaaaamn.
And they sure as hell wouldn't be allowing these damn towers everywhere, irradiating us all... those damn EMF's are the other cause of "Covid."
It's interesting to me that some of this plan to take over the world is brilliant, and then there are aspects of it, such as the PCR, that are incredibly STUPID. I guess the Psycho Globulist Freaks divvied up the responsibilities among them, and the buttheads got the PCR, while the really smart ones (like maybe Malone?) got the jabs, and so forth.
A friend, through their business, does a lot work for a certain "world class" hospital system. They were paid to fully construct an overflow wing that was never utilized. Finally, it was decided the spaces should go back to their previous planned use designed by the architect and my friend was paid to dismantle it. Not 3 weeks later, Omicrom was hyped to surge hospitalizations and they got paid again to re-build the overflow capacity!
Being skeptical of the hype, I had read some hospitalization management capacity to utilization articles early on in the Plandemonium. Capacity has been value-engineered for more than decade prior to 2020 to get to the most profitable mix of utilization. Empty hospital beds make no money.
I love alliteration and use it as much as possible.
I always hoped that the dancing nurse videos were their way of saying "LOOK HOW MUCH FREE TIME WE HAVE ON OUR HANDS!" -- obviously they would have been fired if they actually said it outloud.
Bonus points for picking a cat-pic where there's a toy fish (bass?) showing off his pecker.
They're trying to nudge Covid back on the agenda here too, despite the borderline state-mandated "hate the russians"-theme that's been going 24/7 since February. And while there are plenty of reasons to criticise and condemn Putin, his mobster/KGB-alliance, and their actions, hating the entire people of Russia is hardly the same thing.
It's like all the very jutified and rational hate for certain migrant-groups in Sweden was finally given an authority-approved outlet.
Anyway, our minister of health - a Christian Democrat of the INO-variety - held a speech yesterday. It lookd like a prophet proselytising. Opened-mouthed journalists from selected media outlets who unqustioningly jotted down the commandments from on high. "The pandemic isn't over" he said. "Inquire among your friends and relatives whether they are up on their shots!" he exclaimed, passionately as if announcing the umpteenth coming.
In reality, number of cases last Thursday (the numbers are tallied every thursday) is at 1 755 as confirmed by lab testing, out of 11 000 000 inhabitants. ICU beds are apparently overflowing with 27 patients. Out of 600+ beds, not counting private clinics or military.
But the minister (or rather his courtly scribes, good luck reaching a selected official unless you have a powerbase of your own), the journalists and hence 19 out of 20 are immune to the official stats and data.
Oh well, to day is my "F*ck them if they choose to be stupid"-mood. I learned long ago that one can't help people against their will.
So I'll be watching the squirrels spar in the 1½' of snow. Amazing what energy they have when there's semi-frozen lard and old half-rotten fruit to rumble over.
I've never understood the idea that 'access is survival' in journalism. This basically states that you cant do anything to piss of 'the powers', because they'll shut you out of the system.
But what value do you have as a reporter when you're just repeating what the 'leaders' say?
I can understand it when it's the slaskpress* - celebrity papers covering the indiscretions and secretions of royalty and other more-money-than-brains class acts.
"Slaskpress" meaning "the stuff that clogs the kitchen drain-press" if idiomatically translated.
For them, access was and is everything. But politics? Economy? Actual news reporting? Opinion pieces and debates?
Journalists over-estimate their importance and underestimate their customers. But then they really haven't adapted too well to the internet-age, they still largely act as if internet and computers are straight out of "Hackers" or "Wargames".
The media likes to use “overflowing hospitals” as a go-to story. Guaranteed to attract eyeballs and create panic.
The American Hospital Association now has hospital utilization data for 2020 and (surprise!) utilization in all 50 states was clearly down from previous years, regardless of whether the state was open or locked down.
Mencken, in 1920, wrote: "The daily press of the United States . . . is, in the true sense, never well-informed. It is seldom intelligent, save in the arts of the mob-master. It is never courageously honest." The essay's called "The National Letters." He also criticized newspapers for "translating all issues into a few elemental fears."
"Two semesters econ, one semester pol sci and one semester behavioural psyche? That comes to 16 hours per week on the road-building crew, one square meal and a bed (indoors, wink wink) included, unless you want to upgrade to the 'payto not have to work'-package? It's interest-free!"
Sounds like one of my colleagues at a municipal school some 23 years ago. She handled the younger kids, down to kindergarterners, and taught them (and their parents!) this from day one:
"Are you bleeding? Anything missing, any bits fallen off? Are you on fire? Pipe down, calm down, tell me what happened and I'll see if we need to go to the nurse's office or not!"
Because 99 out of a 100 times it's "Waah, I dun fell down an scraped my knee!" which pretty much goes for adults hee too re: the ER.
Though some 30 years ago our politicians really took the cake in stupidity. Since we have tax-funded health insurance including sick pay (with limits!), they decided in an effort to curb abuse of the system to make a signed doctor's diagnostic mandatory from day one for many jobs and careers.
Meaning health care centers and ERs were and still often are swamped with people with a cough and afeve who need the doctor's signature to collect maybe two days sick pay. Which takesthe doctor a minimum of 45 minutes per patient - which costs more than two days sick pay... Spend dollars to save pennies!
During the height of COVID I had a nurse friend tell me not to go unless a bone was sticking through skin or you find yourself saying “that’s a lot of blood”
SimCon and John, changing the subject……I just came from your site and I listened to the video of Katherine Watt……..45 minutes of methodically explaining and scaring me to death of information on the vaccination shots…….I’m the furthest from understanding science but I understood every thing she was saying…….brilliant. OMG, OMG, OMG.

Good post. Interesting how the Covid cases seem to cluster in rabidly "Dem" states... Hmm.
My advice? Vitamins C, D3, Zinc, and lots of greens in the meals. Covid is nutritional deficiency.
Same as it ever was! How much better off would we be if government had only 'mandated' an hour-long walk in the sunshine on days it was possible?
Yeah, except if we had a govt. worth a hill of beans, we wouldn't be getting ANY mandates, and they wouldn't be complicit in trying to KILL US... daaaaaaaaamn.

Oh, and I like the Taco Truck, too... Kitteh is adorable. ^_^
I'll just wear a mask because they work so well for pretty much everything known to humanity. (but everyone has to wear them for mine to work). (sarc)
Thanks for your help, Rob! You're still wearing that condom, right? I don't wanna get anybody pregnant.
Hahaha. You remembered. Yes, it's on 24/7. JIC
That picture of your kitty is so cute!
Not my kitty but he is cute! My kitty would have ripped that thing to shreds instead of getting inside! :)
You mean…………….GANGSTER?
You know it
Edit: Next time he hijacks my keyboard I'll take a picture to let you know what I'm dealing with.
You mean that giant orange lump
He's definitely grown into his giant body!
oh, saints preserve us.
Haha! Love it!

That's certainly a fair point, and awesome new word for the day! I take my attitude from the guy in my avatar:
"Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations."

End the state monopoly on violence and markets have a robust immune system just waiting to spring into action.
See also, 1776 when some people did something.
Enrollment is super low because nobody can figure out how to build roads to the school.
Make that part of tuition and you're good to go.

But the real question is how many CATS are filling up those hospital beds?!?
Our cat taco trucks are dangerously close to capacity!
INCREASE CAT TACO TRUCK CAPACITY NOW!
A lot of folks dread the hospital. Me.
Growing up, we were only allowed to go to the doctor if we were:
1. Bleeding profusely
2. Unconscious
Since my dad had a heart attack 5 years ago, he added:
3. Extreme pain
3 is for the weak.
Stay away from The Death House.

I heard, on video, A quote from nurse... They're cheering us, but if they knew what we had done our blood would be running in streets.
Remdesiver and vents? I dont know. But I believe the bitch, on both counts.
I was smart ass to doctor. What he did was criminal, I later found out.
I'm still looking for him 42 yrs later.
Er doc
Oh, John………you crack me up…….big smile
Doc asked, what year and where are you...
I said Topeka, 1903
My dad was coming in, said ignore him.
Dr was furious
John, once again, smiling
Denise, I came in after car wreck. My dad said sympathetically, half sec earlier you would have been Restland material. (cemetery nearby).
Btw, check is in mail
I won’t spend it all in one place……
SimCon and John, changing the subject……I just came from your site and I listened to the video of Katherine Watt……..45 minutes of methodically explaining and scaring me to death of information on the vaccination shots…….I’m the furthest from understanding science but I understood every thing she was saying…….brilliant. OMG, OMG, OMG.
Denise, it can be terrifying. They are at war ... But we really have not engaged them. I'm betting on us, that they should be terrified.
Harrari, gates are so arrogant they'll never be scared, but people around them are.
We have learned a ton.
Stay away from the death house!
You have to recover from the ailment then recover from the drugs they give you.
A lifetime of dependency!
Why would you go to where all the sick people are?
And remdesiver and vents!!
