More lockdowns coming?

 

There's a bit of discussion out there about a new variant of the so-called cornona virus. It is supposed to be so bad that there may be a push for lockdowns and masks and such.

If that is a thing, then the response needed is resistance. There wouldn't be any "vaccines" necessary or possible if the Zelenko Protocol and the Ivermectin options were to be followed. That is true because the "vaccine" is for emergency only, and can't be allowed if effective treatments are available. These options are effective.

Hence all the "fud" (Fear, uncertainty, doubt) being spread about with regards to these two options.

Between the fud and the fudge, there's a whole lot chicanery going on out there.

Best thing to do is to resist the "vaccine". It isn't a "vaccine", it is a gene therapy. The stuff messes with your DNA. No way I'm going to get one of those.

Remember this: you cannot be deceived unless you let someone deceive you. In my own case, until they prove to me conclusively that they have a real vaccine that has gone through all the usual testing, I won't even consider it. Even then, as long as Ivermectin is available, as well as the Zelenko Protocol, I won't get it at all.

The truth

What is truth? Uh, oh. Back to that question. What does the dictionary say? The ones I am reading are circular. Ooops! Does anyone know what the truth is???

These days, the truth seems to be tribal. It is whatever the tribe says that it is. For me, truth is a quality of being that cannot be contradicted. For example, "water is wet". If you jump into a swimming pool, you'll get wet. If you don't come out of the rain, you will get wet. Wet is wet. There is no debate about that, unless you are crazy.

The gender issue used to be like that. Male was male. Female was female. There were two sexes, or the word we use today --- "gender". Now it is an issue because a tribe has made it an issue. It didn't use to be the case. Sex was sex. You were male or you were female. Case closed. That was the truth of the matter.

Truth itself is now debatable. Anything is debatable, or so it seems. Now we have two tribes arguing about what truth is.

Get down to basics, if you can. Is water wet or not? Do you want to fight over that?

Word definitions may be at the heart of the trouble. You have to have a common understanding of what the words mean.

The people who push the several genders arguments are really talking about social constructs, not biology. If the argument is about what males and females are like, that's one argument. But the other argument is the "x" and "y"'s of biological determination. Two "x"'s means female, one "x" and 1 "y" means male. This is immutable fact. Everything else devolves around the opinions of what that means.

So far, males cannot give birth, or get pregnant. Females cannot impregnate other females. Only males can do that to females. That's the way the biology works. Bruce Jenner impregnated a woman who had his children. No woman can do that regardless of whether Bruce Jenner thinks about being a man when he prefers to be a woman. He is arguing with his biology.

There was a guy down the street when I was back in Houston who was from Iran. He told me that he left that country because the people there believe two plus two equals five. I told him that we have a lot of those people here too.

There are those in academia who are teaching that rational thought is a "patriarchal" thing. If the patriarchal thing is bad, then that must make rational thought bad. This is why I say that the left is teaching people to become blithering idiots. Can idiots know anything when they insist upon being irrational?

Is the COVID thing over? It seems that Democrats believe that it isn't. The GOP mostly believes that it is over. What is the truth of that matter? Well, if you are outnumbered and the most people want to believe that it isn't over, then it isn't over. It's a political argument, not a public health issue.

But what is the truth of the matter? What are we really arguing about? Whether or not people get sick or not? There can be no argument there. People always get sick, and some of them may die. Nobody has figured out how to live forever.

Is the argument about what to do about it? Does wearing a mask work, or does it make you feel good about yourself because it shows that you CARE? If the masks don't work and are counter-productive, caring only gets you sicker. If that's the case, I'd rather not care. I don't give a shit what you think about that.

If you really want to care about something, why not care about the use of words, and the use of discourse. If the idea is to reach agreements and consensus, then we need to find common areas that we can agree on. It seems that people out there are finding the opposite and looking for excuses to fight over it.

We cannot shut everything down forever. Can anybody agree upon that one? Or does everything have to degenerate into a fight? The people who are looking for a fight might need to get one to be satisfied.

What is the truth of the matter? Do these people constantly and forever want to provoke a fight. If that is the case, maybe it is high time to recognize that truth, and get to the point of the matter.

A question that a climate alarmist cannot answer

There are so many videos out there. With little to do this afternoon, I happened upon one that gave me an idea for this post. The video was about super-volcanos. There was one in the Earth's geologic past that was so bad that it wiped out almost ALL life on the planet.

That gave me the idea for this post. After all, these people say that it is mankind that is endangering life on this planet. But here's nature itself as a far greater menace.

The question is this: what can you do about a super-volcano of this magnitude? The climate alarmists cannot answer the question without betraying the fact that nature is of far greater impact than humans are.

If you doubt that, imagine a volcanic lava flow that would cover most of the USA under hundreds of feet of lava. Such an event did happen, as mentioned earlier in this post. If such a thing happened, and we had advanced knowledge of it about to happen, what could be done? I would venture that not a doggone thing could be done. It is too powerful for us to be able to change it in any way whatsoever.

Even if we had a century to prepare, we couldn't do anything but maybe get some people off the Earth so that humankind could have some survivors to carry on. That's all you could hope to do. Or perhaps go deep underground and use nuclear power to survive on until the dust cleared!

If we cannot hope to change the forces of nature, that leaves ourselves to control each other. That's what's going on here. One group of humans forcing another group of humans to change their behavior according to their dictates. That's all it is. It is not about the Earth. The Earth is just too darned big for us to do anything about.

#Unseriousness: While Putin Plans for a Real War in Ukraine, Obama's People Are Focused Like Lasers on Winning the Only War That Matters, the Facebook/Twitter War

Update:

It seems that somebody, who remains nameless because I didn't take notes of it, said that this was no longer a "serious country".

This would be another instance of somebody out there who has come to the same conclusions I have. Note that this post was written over 7 years ago. Nothing has changed. In fact, it is getting steadily worse.

Two things stand out today. One is the Maricopa county audit. If they were serious, then shouldn't this be expedited? It seems to be taking WAY too long.

The second is a Supreme Court ruling that lets the transgender agenda stand. Er, was this supposed to be a CONSERVATIVE court? A liberal court could have done the very same thing. Surely, you cannot be serious????

You could probably go through the whole she-bang of everything written on the conservative side, and not find hardly anything serious at all. Just a whole lot of nothing.

Let us posit that if Putin wishes a military campaign against Ukraine, and Obama plans in response a Twitter campaign, Putin will gladly let Obama have his Fake Social Media "Victory" in exchange for a real world victory.--- Ace

comment:

If you claim to be a serious country, you don't elect somebody like Barack Hussein Obama to be president of the United States.  This country stopped being serious a long time ago.  If we were to get serious now, we'd start patching up this good ship lollypop and we might not sink.  But that isn't guaranteed.

A method to the madness

Gee-whiz, there's a lot more to this song than I ever imagined. Dang. You need a PHD to get through this breakdown.

How does "yippy-yi-yo-ti-yay" fit into all this? I quit watching before getting to that part.

Off-grid post, 6.27.21

 

What a surprise. There were no seeds that germinated on the first go-round. But there sure were this time. Every single one of them has germinated. Unfortunately, there was no way to keep them all, except one. There first one was kept, the rest were rooted out.

They all had good roots, so maybe this bodes well for the growth of the remaining one.

Even with this nice little news, progress seems very slow. There's no way for it to go any faster.

But there's no stopping experimentation with other plants. Actually, there is. Since this thing will stay inside, it will have to fit into the place that's available. This may not work too well in the long run, but that remains to be seen.

I'd like to try a self-wicking bucket concept. There's a trash bucket, but it has some cracks in it, and therefore, will leak. You can buy this stuff, of course, but buying stuff is not what I want to do if I can avoid it. Maybe I can work out something.

Eventually, the seedling needs to be transplanted to a bigger container. That may be sooner rather than later.

Anyway, that's it for now.
