Media faceplant. Tyranny goes high tech. Political dimension of the cull.

20220218

The news in the United States is that the biggest story of the decade is not news at all. Matt Taibbi as a delicious take on the media's absolute failure and calling the supposed Russian invasion of Ukraine, and former comedian and current president of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky's not very subtle mocking of the United States for its stupidity and warmongering.  I have written that I love his speeches, available in text if you want to translate.

This same mainstream media totally ignores the story about Hillary Clinton's corruption, and the six years she spent pushing false narratives about Russia. They say it is "too hard to understand." Absolute corruption? Egregious warmongering for personal benefit? Hard to understand? I don't think so.

After the above two stories, the mainstream media's reputation would be in tatters. However, there was so little left of it that I don't think it matters.

In a more disturbing story, Canadian Jessica Rose reports that Australia may be using directed energy weapons against protesters. She observes that Justin Trudeau would have no compunction about using such high-tech weapons.  Having abandoned the moral high ground from the very beginning, the powers that be don't have much to lose.

In yesterday's blog I posted a link on how to remove harmful, unlisted vaccine ingredients from your body. Today an article shows up as to why you would want to do that. Type, don't paste, Arіуana Lоve grаphеne into DuckDuckGo or any other honest search engine. 

One of you wrote suggesting that this graphene oxide business is in tinfoil hat territory. I was able to respond by pointing to a post I made back in September, sent by email and uploaded here yesterday so I can make this link, coming down as a skeptic.  The material I reference above is well enough documented to change my opinion.

When I started asking six months ago about the effectiveness of the Chinese and Russian Covid shots, it first appeared that they were not too unlike each other or the American shots. Absolutely wrong! It turns out that Russia's Sputnik is very similar to AstraZeneca, whereas China's vaccines are more like traditional flu shots. Alex Berenson is on top of it today.  Nonetheless, spike protein is involved somehow, and some researchers report graphene oxide in them as well.

In this time of crisis – Covid, the Russia hysteria, financial collapse – there are several factors at work that appear likely to change the makeup of the body politic. 

These include Democrat panic about the US midterm elections in November, but more generally liberals becoming repelled by leftist government overreach.  There is a demographic shift as people move from US blue to red states.  People are leaving overtaxed and underpoliced jurisdictions and moving to places like Idaho and Texas.  Some will leave their liberal rose-colored glasses behind them.

The racial dimension is increasingly obvious. The tactic of calling white people racist for noticing discrimination against them is losing its effect. Though they have been schooled not to talk about it, whites know that they are targeted by black hoodlums. Asians, Hispanics and immigrants quite openly say what they see.  Even African immigrants are chiming in.

The impending financial collapse could somewhat dissipate the large class of people dependent on government largesse.  If the money is no longer there, immigrants may stop coming to the rich countries and may even return home. Expensive programs for the homeless and drug addicts will simply not have funding.  It would be hard to predict a rise in crime.  Putting these expensive programs in place has not decreased it. Criminality appears to be a habit of the mind, not something driven by financial considerations.

There are no doubt measurable differences between the populations that have accepted and resisted the jabs.  Here is my speculation.

The vaccinated appear to be more likely to belong to the professional class. That would mean they are college educated and have imbibed of cultural Marxism. They would therefore subscribe to the New York Times, Washington Post, and Atlantic magazine, and watch CNN and MSNBC. In keeping with the above, they probably got the full schedule of childhood vaccinations and believe what the government says. Conscientious souls that they are, they are probably boosted up the wazoo.

Large corporations tend to be staffed by people with professional qualifications – the educated people mentioned above. They have generally required vaccination as a condition of continued employment. Employees who successfully resisted were more often skilled nonprofessionals or semiprofessionals: pilots, flight attendants, nurses and the like.  Truckers are more independent; they work alone and don't like to be coerced, as we are seeing in Canada.  They are also scarce at the moment, which gives them leverage to resist.

Some labor unions, such as pilots and nurses, have a fairly good record of pushing back against corporate demands that workers get vaccinated. Despite that, in just about every field a majority did wind up taking the vaccination to avoid hassles and because they needed it in other aspects of their lives. Researchers will no doubt find that there is a quantifiable difference between pilots who stubbornly resisted being told what to do and those who succumbed to the jabs.

Colleges and universities imposed among the most stringent restrictions. They demanded that both staff and students be immunized, wear masks, abandon in person learning and so on. This future professional class is certainly among the more highly vaccinated cohorts of Western society., However, there is a gradation even among them. The ivy league and West Coast colleges impose the greatest demands on students. Southern and Midwestern institutions tended not to be so controlling. That's the United States.  In Europe, where tertiary education is more often handled by government, the policies appear to have more uniformly demanded the jab.

The teacher's unions were all in favor of the entire program for Covid, especially remote learning. They found lounging all day in pajamas as they taught was a great deal. In any case, most of them are vaccinated. I am sad to say that that includes teachers even here in Ukraine.

Vaccination status varies by age cohort.  The first people targeted for the shots were the elderly. To the extent that they worked, it was the right thing to do. As a consequence, the percentage vaccinated among the elderly is higher than younger people. The unvaccinated elderly tend not to be cantankerous old souls such as myself but people who in medical judgment were not in good enough shape to withstand the jab.

Adverse effects on the elderly do not affect society as seriously. If it kills them, they didn't have as long to live in the first place. It can't affect the fertility of postmenopausal women, and most old men are no longer fathering children.

Several analyses put excess mortality among working age people at about 40%. The baseline in 2019 was 32,000 deaths per million working age (25 – 64). A 40% increase would be 1,300 per million – visible to actuaries, but maybe not enough that the average person would notice. The baseline annual mortality among the older population is 5% per year in the 65-75 group and about 13% per year of the 85 and up.  More visible, but of less concern to society.

Excess deaths are already most noticeable among children, simply because they had been generally so healthy. The heart attacks among teenage athletes have received widespread attention. At this writing two thirds of children 12-17 in the United States have received at least one shot, and one third of those 5-11. Almost certainly these are disproportionately public-school children, followed by private schools, with homeschoolers, traditionally distrustful of government, coming in at a lower rate.

With regard to geography, there is an evident divide between the blue and red states. People in the blue states are more inclined to trust government in the first place, and those states have been more inclined to force vaccinations.  Jurisdictions such as Santa Clara County, California, New York City under Bill de Blasio, and the New England states have high vaccination rates. On the other hand, Florida and Texas have led the resistance. Those governments reflect the people. There is going to be a geographical difference in the exposure to the adverse effect of the jabs.

Lifestyle plays a part as well as religion. Jabs have been forced on people who wanted to continue active lifestyles. They have been necessary to travel, to attend public events, to eat in restaurants, go to concerts, night clubs, movies and so on. Note that this kind of activity more characterizes the urban, educated, blue state people.

Conversely, the people who belong to evangelical churches and whose social life centers around friends and community are less likely to have felt the need to be vaccinated, and more likely to be suspicious of government and resist on principle.

Ethnicity plays a role. Blacks have been suspicious since the vaccine programs conducted by the Rockefellers and Gates in the American South (viz, Tuskegee) and in Africa. Latin Americans have been likewise skeptical. On the other hand, Israel is among the most highly vaccinated countries in the world, all mRNA from Pfizer.

People who have or want to bear children are probably somewhat less likely to get vaccinated. They are less likely to engage in the lifestyle activities that have been made inconvenient for the unvaccinated. They are more likely to avoid taking risks when it comes to their health and fertility. Acerbic Internet phenomenon Whatsherface has a grimly funny take on the situation.

Cutting across all of the dimensions above, I would predict that if indeed there is a depopulation agenda afoot, it will affect some cohorts more than others.  My guess is that the people who avoid the cull will be on the more conservative side, and thus may change the political character of the rich countries.  That's my crystal ball.

That's the news, or rather the navelgazing from Lake WeBeGone, where the men are strong in their opinions, the good looking women strongly unopinionated when it comes to world politics, and the above average male child is following in Daddy's footsteps. We hope his mouth doesn't get him in trouble with the authorities.
