What In The World Are They Doing?

Or, more accurately, what in the world are we letting them get away with?

I rarely watch the TV news or read a newspaper in print or online. Haven’t for nearly half a century. I heard then from more than one source that what you saw was overblown, sensationalist hype, rarely truthful and designed to take you down tone. When I looked with that viewpoint I found it to be true, so I quit beating myself with their brand of demotivating harrassment.

As I walked through the lounge last night I made the mistake of pausing to see what was on the TV. The news was on.

What a production! The COVID-19 fear mongering was at a level of 20 out of 10! They were going to town six ways from Sunday to blow the fear porn through the roof! I thought, “No wonder people are accepting the insanity of the government lockdown!”

So I got to thinking further about this. And I’m going to ask you a question. Before you read on, please take a split second to breathe out, relax and answer it as objectively as you can.

If, six months ago, a friend had casually said, “I hear the flu this year will be five times as bad as it normally is.” what would have been your reaction?

I’ll wager the first thing that came to mind was not, “We must trash tens of thousands of small businesses, the major employers of most of the workforce, put hundreads of thousands of people out of work, waste 3 times the money of our total existing national debt (about which we are already being justly criticised), impose draconian restrictions of personal freedoms and threaten to not relax them until we can inflict an untrialled vaccine on the population.”

No, I’ll lay London to a lolly that’s not what you would have said. You’re saner than that.

This deliberately overhyped, overblown reaction to something that is a mild to moderate infection to 80% of the people who get it and, now that the solution is available (link below) to quickly and cheaply treat the other 20%, this fear driven insanity must end. We must minimise the damage to people’s lives, businesses and the economy as a whole and restore personal freedoms by reversing this destructive program. #RestoreFreedom

The infection IS being defeated and there ARE specific steps you can take to
a) minimise your risk of infection
b) boost the ability of your body to survive an infection and
c) defeat the infection if it occurs.

I have documented them here:

Human Rights Video #5: Freedom From Torture

One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled.

The UK just passed a 350+ page bill that gives the government unfettered, tyrannical powers.

The USA and Australia are undertaking similarly ill advised actions.

This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights.

Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!

A Note To Those Who Would Be Wise

There was a king and he once said to the court sages – I have a ring with one of the finest diamonds in the world and I want to hide a message under the stone that can be useful in a situation of extreme despair.  I will give this ring to my heirs and I want it to serve faithfully.  Think of what kind of message will be there.  It must be very short to fit in the ring.

The sages knew how to write treatises, but did not express themselves in one short sentence.  They thought and thought, but did not come up with anything.

The king complained about the failure of his venture to a faithful old servant who raised him from infancy and was part of the family.  And the old man said to him:
“I’m not a sage, I’m not educated, but I know such a message. For many years spent in the palace, I met a lot of people. And once I served a visiting mystic whom your father invited. And he gave me this message.  I ask that you don’t read it now. Save it under the stone and open it only when there’s no way out at all.
The king listened to the old servant.

After some time, the enemies attacked the country and the king lost the war.  He fled on his horse and his enemies pursued him.  He was alone, his enemies were many. He rode to the end of the road.  There was a huge deep cliff before him, if he fell there, it is the end.  He could not go back, as the enemies were approaching. He already heard the clatter of their horses’ hooves.  He had no way out.  He was in complete despair.

And then he remembered the ring.  He opened it and found an inscription: “This too shall pass”

After reading the message, he felt that everything was quiet.  Apparently the pursuers got lost and proceeded in the wrong direction. Horses were no longer heard.

The king was filled with gratitude to the servant and the unknown mystic. The words were powerful.  He closed the ring.  And set out on the road.  He gathered his army and returned his state.

On the day when he returned to the palace, they arranged a magnificent meeting, a feast for the whole world – the people loved their king. The king was happy and proud.

An old servant came up to him and said softly: “Even in this moment, look at the message again.”

The King said, “Now I am a winner, people are celebrating my return, I’m not in despair, not in a hopeless situation.”

“Listen to this old servant,” the servant answered. “The message works not only in moments when everything is bad, but also in moments of victory.”

The king opened the ring and read:
“This too shall pass.”

And again he felt a silence fall over him, although he was in the midst of a noisy dancing crowd.  His pride dissolved.  He understood the message.  He was a wise man.

And then the old man said to the king; “Do you remember everything that happened to you? Nothing and no feeling is permanent. As night changes day, so moments of joy and despair replace each other. Accept them as the nature of things, as part of life”

Be Prepared To Look

Be Prepared To Look

Be prepared to look at all the data, rather than just that wich agrees with what you believe to be true or that which matches your exising data. Learning is not just acquiring new data, it is also correcting false data.
