Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

A friend in Montana shared this on Facebook.

He needs to grab a different shopping cart! It was hard to concentrate on what he was saying with that wheel banging around the whole time. But yes, if people can't see that closing off whole sections of the store can't logically be motivated by concern for a virus, then they be asleep indeed.

@Mandatory Intellectomy - I went looking for something that spoke to the cognitive biases of authoritarians and found this paper, I've linked it in case it is useful for your next article - I haven't read it through yet, I've only done a quick key word search through it.

"The Psychology of Authoritarian Populism: A Bird's Eye View" by Daniel Yudkin.

A few remarks on the ventilation strategy around Covid-19:

Most of the reports come from the US regarding the ventilation problem, and I think there is a reason for this. In the US it’s not the intensive care physician that controls the way a patient is ventilated - that is in the hands of ‘respiratory technicians’. And they mostly work protocol-driven. So there is a sort of ‘compartmentalization’ of care teams, each one looking after specific organs, not the whole patient.

In Europe (and Australia) it’s mostly ICU doctors who plan the ventilation strategies and tailor these to the patients physiologic needs - always applying ‘lung-protecting ventilation strategies’ - the fact that Covid-19 is associated with a ‘high compliance ARDS-like picture’ is well know, and the ventilation strategy is adapted accordingly.

Having said this, it is strange to see patients with oxygen saturations around 70% displaying no respiratory distress subjectively (feeling of breathlessness) or objectively (high heart rate and high blood pressure). So maybe the analogy to ‘high-altitude illness’ (HAS) is appropriate in some way (even though these patients DO display subjective and objective signs of respiratory distress). That line of thought would need to be explored further - what are the pulmonary pressures in these patients (in HAS they are high). And then would a pulmonary vasodilator that is used in the treatment of HAS work as well (Sildenafil = Viagra, or nifedipine = Adalat)?

I watched the video that Dior linked earlier with automatic English subtitles. These aren't alway accurate so I can't be sure of the next statement. They were reviewing the work of another doctor that said that there are micro-embolisms of air in the blood in COVID-19 patients confirming that the symptoms are cardiovascular and not respiratory ones. I wonder if that would explain the fizzing sensation that some are reporting?

The Bill Gates Virus has spread across the planet, in a few months we'll all need a mandatory "coronavirus" shot. He is a sociopath masquerading as a benevolent philanthropist. Nobody is putting a chip in me and I'm not taking a vaccine, and it seems many people in the comments share the same sentiment. But I'm afraid there is no other choose unless you are willing to die. I guess that whatever happens we have to keep our health up best we can, work on ourselves and in a careful way try to keep the signal to noise ratio high.

There's another option there, learn how to remove chips and have what you need on hand to prepare health in advance of vaccinations and detox from the toxins in them afterwards. For all we know at this time the vaccinations might backfire on them too! I wonder what would happen if the vaccine has the opposite of the intended effect and enhances capabilities?

I talked to my cousin on the phone last night. My Aunt, who is estranged from most of the family, is in a nursing home and has fallen ill with some kind of infection. Coronavirus hasn't been mentioned. She has, according to her own testimony, which is kind of dodgy sometimes, lost weight and is constantly running to the toilet. The staff will not take her to a doctor or the hospital. It's just pure BS that so many people are not being taken care of and prevented from having visitors . What would be considered elder abuse in other circumstances, and has sparked inquiries into the operation of nursing homes has become an acceptable necessity in the hands of evil. These are among the members of the population that these lockdown and social distancing measures are supposed to be protecting. If that doesn't get through to some peeps, I don't know what will.

Another friend who runs a business contacted the COVID hotline to clarify whether her business was considered essential. She was told that yes it was and that she could keep operating so long as she could implement social distancing measures. She asked them to give her written confirmation of that advice because she could not afford the listed business fines. COVID hotline told her that they would not give her written confirmation and that she should check with the local police. So she called the police and they wouldn't give her any guarantees either. They basically said that it would all depend on the policeman who turned up on the day. So she basically closed her business down because she couldn't risk the fine.

In any case this second story is why I went looking for something that talked about the cognitive biases of Authoritarians because it seems that they also have a drive to exceed the letter of the law or offer up extreme and overblown degrees of compliance that are not called for by the law and then try to enforce those. That is apparent in some of the behaviours of both the police and the general public. And though I haven't yet read through the paper I've attached I've been wondering if part of reason for that is because the new laws in regards to coronavirus measures as they are written are uncertain and full of inconsistencies.

Edited for spelling.

There is a similarity, and I'm going to become a Debbie Downer here (Surprise, No? Ok.). But in both 9/11 and current times, the American Public could not conceive that "The Elites" could ever do anything so awful.

I am sure there will be some who think "The Elites" could ever do anything so awful but not all.

I also found this video compelling. More on the idea that it's the compromised immune system and our bodies struggling to maintain homeostasis. The part about the virus having a helpful function to us individually and in the herd, was different to the usual idea of "herd immunity".

There is an old saying in China called "the earth follows the sky, the human society follows the earth", and each dynasty in China has an important position similar to the "Directorate of Astronomy and CalendarImperial Astronomer", which is based on astronomical phenomena to predict major events in human society and make decisions in advance based on predictions. I do see that the Chinese government has made many preparations for this in advance, including the Emergency Disaster Management Department established two years ago.

Ordinary people in China generally support and trust the government, despite the economic recession, the overall social order is stable.There are also some communities like Cassipaea discussing online, and some knowledgeable people will give guidance to ordinary people.

I have no medical training outside of basic first aid stuff. I wondered at the mention of high altitude sickness whether the symptoms are similar to decompression sickness or the bends. Some of the symptoms with that seem to match up too. This source mentions itching, but other sources that I've read refer to pins and needles or tingling.

Symptoms and Signs of The Bends
(Decompression Syndromes)

Doctor's Notes on The Bends
(Decompression Syndromes)
The bends, also known as decompression sickness (DCS) or Caisson disease is a condition that occurs in scuba divers when dissolved gases (mainly nitrogen) come out of solution in the bloodstream, forming gas bubbles in the circulation. It is caused by rapid changes in pressure during scuba diving. The bends can affect almost any area of the body or any organ, including the lungs, heart, brain, joints, and skin.
The most common signs and symptoms of the bends include joint pains, fatigue, low back pain, paralysis or numbness of the legs, and weakness or numbness in the arms. Other associated signs and symptoms can include dizziness, confusion, vomiting, ringing in the ears, head or neck pain, and loss of consciousness.

The Bends
(Decompression Syndromes) Symptoms

The nervous and musculoskeletal system are most often affected. If a diver is going to develop symptoms they will show within 48 hours in all cases. Most have symptoms within 6 hours, while some develop within the first hour of surfacing from a dive.
DCS is often categorized into two types. Type I indicating mild symptoms and Type II with neurologic and other serious symptoms.
Symptoms of the bends include the following:
Musculoskeletal Symptoms (most common symptoms)

• Pain in and around major joints with the shoulder and elbows being the most commonly affected in divers but any joint can be involved due to nitrogen being released into the joints and muscles.

Fatigue

• Extreme tiredness that is out of proportion to the activity just performed.

Skin

• Rashes that are red or marbled may occur. They can be very itchy also.
• It is rare to have skin findings with DCS

Itching (also known as "the creeps")

• Seen more commonly during decompression in hyperbaric chamber workers (see media photos).
• Very itchy reaction on the skin that is exposed to pressures of the dive (i.e. not covered up by a wet suit.)
• This is due to gas from the chamber dissolving into the skin and forming bubbles under the skin.
• The creeps do not occur in divers

The Chokes (pulmonary or lung decompression sickness)

• Rare but if it occurs can be very serious
• A burning pain in the chest that is usually worse with breathing in (inspiration).
• Other symptoms include cough, difficulty breathing, and cyanosis (blue lips and skin)
• Divers with the chokes can progress to shock rapidly

Neurologic Decompression Sickness (these symptoms may be the only DCS signs)

• The most common area affected in divers is the spinal cord.
• Symptoms classically include low back pain, "heaviness" of the legs, paralysis and/or numbness of the legs, and even loss of control of the sphincter (or valve) that controls urine and stool resulting in incontinence.
• Other symptoms may include fatigue, weak or numb upper extremities, chest or abdominal pains.
• DCS involving the brain can present with dizziness, confusion, decreased awareness, loss of consciousness, loss or limited vision and even difficulty with balance and/or walking.

Lymph nodes (glands)
The lymph glands can be swollen and painful.
Pain
Pain can occur at the head, neck, or torso. Pain at these sites versus the arms or legs carries a worse prognosis.

Staggers
Occasionally someone with decompression illness may have symptoms suggesting an inner ear problem, such as a spinning sensation, deafness, ringing in the ears, or vomiting. This group of symptoms is called the "staggers."

The Bends
(Decompression Syndromes) Causes

Nitrogen or any gas from a diver's air tank increases in pressure as a diver descends. For every 33 feet in ocean water, the pressure due to nitrogen goes up another 11.6 pounds per square inch,. As the pressure due to nitrogen increases, more nitrogen dissolves into the tissues. The longer a diver remains at depth, the more nitrogen dissolves. Unlike the oxygen in the air tank a diver uses to swim underwater, the nitrogen gas is not utilized by the body and builds up over time in body tissues. The underlying cause of symptoms throughout the body is due mainly to nitrogen bubbles being released when the diver returns to sea level and blocking blood flow and disrupting blood vessels and nerves by stretching or tearing them. They may also cause emboli, blood coagulation and the release of vasoactive compounds.
A clear example to illustrate this bubble formation process is that of a bottle of carbonated soda. A bottle of carbonated soda is filled with gas (carbon dioxide), which cannot be seen because it is dissolved in solution under pressure. When the bottle is opened, the pressure is released and the gas leaves the solution in the form of bubbles. A diver returning to the surface is similar to opening the bottle of soda. As a diver swims to the surface, the pressure decreases. The nitrogen, which has dissolved in tissues, wants again to leave, because the body can hold only a certain amount based on that nitrogen pressure.

• If a diver surfaces too fast, the excess nitrogen will come out rapidly as gas bubbles. Depending on which organs are involved, these bubbles produce the symptoms of decompression sickness.
• The risk of decompression illness is directly related to the depth of the dive, the amount of time under pressure, and the rate of ascent. Dive tables, such as the US Navy Dive Tables, provide general guidelines as to what depths and dive times are less risky for the development of decompression sickness.

A recent military study shows military personnel evaluated who received the flu vaccine were at 36 percent increased risk for coronavirus with varied benefit in preventing some strains of the flu.

" Examining noninfluenza viruses specifically, the odds of both coronavirus and human metapneumovirus in vaccinated individuals were significantly higher when compared to unvaccinated individuals (OR = 1.36 and 1.51, respectively) (Table 5)."

The flu vaccine studied demonstrated varied benefit in flu prevention - - some strains showed significant benefit while others did not.

Titled, Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel during the 2017-2018 influenza season , the report on the study addresses the phenomena of vaccine virus interference of the influenza vaccine.

Flu Vaccine Interference
Paraphrasing, the study highlights the value of the human body's ability to fight against viruses. Apparently, by contracting influenza, the body naturally "may reduce the risk of non-influenza respiratory viruses ..."

Due to the flu vaccine's "interference" with the naturally occurring biological process, there may be an increased risk of contracting non-influenza viruses:

" While influenza vaccination offers protection against influenza, natural influenza infection may reduce the risk of non-influenza respiratory viruses by providing temporary, non-specific immunity against these viruses. On the other hand, recently published studies have described the phenomenon of vaccine-associated virus interference; that is, vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk for other respiratory viruses because they do not receive the non-specific immunity associated with natural infection.

I bumped into this article the other day and I think it is making some very interesting points:

@biuta I think you have some misguided information regarding Polio and it's vaccine.

Excerpts from the book mentioned above can be read in an earlier thread along with other worthwhile information and discussions (amazing to think this was all being discussed in 2014!)

Joan and cindyj beat me (and Woodsman) to the punch in regards to the polio scam. I was very tempted to put a thumbs down to biuta's post, but figured he/she just needed more and better information. It was just an unfortunate choice for attempting to make the point he/she was after in the way he/she originally intended.

FYI to those much younger, polio scared the crap out of us all. Those iron lungs with some poor child enclosed inside were the stuff of nightmares. An uncle on my mother's side was partially crippled by polio which ultimately had a very negative impact on his life. We all trusted so implicitly in the polio vaccines and lined up obediently more than once to get our oral dose on a sugar cube! And the coup de gras was when it became known that those very same polio vaccines were contaminated with SV40:

In 1960, it was discovered that Simian Virus 40 (SV40) contaminated up to 30% of the poliovirus vaccines in the US. This contamination arose because the vaccines were produced in monkey kidney cell cultures harboring SV40 between 1955 and 1963.

Merck researchers, under Maurice Hilleman’s direction, detected a simian virus in the monkey kidney cells used to grow poliovirus for Merck’s polio vaccine. Hilleman later showed that the simian virus, SV40, caused tumors in hamsters. Merck eventually withdrew its polio vaccine from market. By 1963, government screening programs began to look for simian viruses in poliovirus vaccines.

In 1960, the link between viruses and cancer was a new idea. Hilleman urged the U.S. Public Health Service Technical Committee to withdraw all Salk-type polio vaccine (IPV) until the problem could be addressed.

In laboratory animal studies, the SV40 virus has been found to cause malignancies (mesothelioma, ependymoma, osteosarcoma, and leukemia and lymphoma) in newborn rodents, particularly hamsters, exposed to high levels of the virus (50).

In 1960, it was discovered that Simian Virus 40 (SV40) contaminated up to 30% of the poliovirus vaccines in the US. This contamination arose because the vaccines were produced in monkey kidney cell cultures harboring SV40 between 1955 and 1963. During this period, approximately 90% of children and 60% of adults in the USA were inoculated for polio and possibly exposed to SV40. Many epidemiologic and molecular pathogenesis studies have been conducted in order to identify potential cancer risks since this ‘natural’ experiment began. Productive SV40 infection has the potential to initiate malignancy in a variety of target tissues

The CDC has quickly removed a page from their website, which is now cached here, admitting that more than 98 million Americans received one or more doses of polio vaccine within an 8-year span when a proportion of the vaccine was contaminated with a cancer causing polyomavirus called SV40. It has been estimated that 10-30 million Americans could have received an SV40 contaminated dose of the vaccine.

SV40 is an abbreviation for Simian vacuolating virus 40 or Simian virus 40, a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys and humans. Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that has been found to cause tumors and cancer.

Current searches bring up articles downplaying or denying that these same Americans got cancer from the polio vaccines. There's a video somewhere showing the persons who developed the contaminated vaccine laughing about it. Forget the doctor's name responsible. Nonetheless, the truth is out there:

SV40 is believed to suppress the transcriptional properties of the tumor-suppressing genes in humans through the SV40 Large T-antigen andSV40 Small T-antigen. Mutated genes may contribute to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, leading to cancer.

Michele Carbone, Assistant Professor of Pathology at Loyola University in Chicago, has recently isolated fragments of the SV-40 virus in human bone cancers and in a lethal form of lung cancer called mesothelioma. He found SV-40 in 33% of the osteosarcoma bone cancers studied, in 40% of other bone cancers, and in 60% of the mesotheliomas lung cancers, writes Geraldo Fuentes.

Dr. Michele Carbone openly acknowledged HIV/AIDS was spread by the hepatitis B vaccine produced by Merck & Co. during the early 1970s. It was the first time since the initial transmissions took place in 1972-74, that a leading expert in the field of vaccine manufacturing and testing has openly admitted the Merck & Co. liability for AIDS.

The matter-of-fact disclosure came during discussions of polio vaccines contaminated with SV40 virus which caused cancer in nearly every species infected by injection. Many authorities now admit much, possibly most, of the world’s cancers came from the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines, and hepatitis B vaccines, produced in monkeys and chimps.

It is said mesothelioma is a result of asbestos exposure, but research reveals that 50% of the current mesotheliomas being treated no longer occurs due to asbestos but rather the SV-40 virus contained in the polio vaccination. In addition, according to researchers from the Institute of Histology and General Embryology of the University of Ferrara, SV-40 has turned up in a variety other tumors. By the end of 1996, dozens of scientists reported finding SV40 in a variety of bone cancers and a wide range of brain cancers, which had risen 30 percent over the previous 20 years.

The SV-40 virus is now being detected in tumors removed from people never inoculated with the contaminated vaccine, leading some to conclude that those infected by the vaccine might be spreading SV40.

Soon after its discovery, SV40 was identified in the oral form of the polio vaccine produced between 1955 and 1961 produced by American Home Products (dba Lederle).

Both the oral, live virus and injectable inactive virus were affected. It was found later that the technique used to inactivate the polio virus in the injectable vaccine, by means of formaldehyde, did not reliably kill SV40.

Just two years ago, the U.S. government finally added formaldehyde to a list of known carcinogens and and admitted that the chemical styrene might cause cancer. Yet, the substance is still found in almost every vaccine.

According to the Australian National Research Council, fewer than 20% but perhaps more than 10% of the general population may be susceptible to formaldehyde and may react acutely at any exposure level. More hazardous than most chemicals in 5 out of 12 ranking systems, on at least 8 federal regulatory lists, it is ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to ecosystems and human health (Environmental Defense Fund).

In the body, formaldehyde can cause proteins to irreversibly bind to DNA. Laboratory animals exposed to doses of inhaled formaldehyde over their lifetimes have developed more cancers of the nose and throat than are usual.

CDC Admits 98 Million Americans Received Polio Vaccine in an 8-Year Span When It Was Contaminated with Cancer Virus

By Dave Mihalovic, Prevent DiseaseThe CDC has quickly removed a page from their website, which is now cached here, admitting that more than 98 million Americans received one or more doses of polio

www.renegadetribune.com

As jaw dropping as the above is, the rest of the article is even more shocking and disturbing and extremely relevant to current events.

And then there's the past, present, and ongoing problem of polio vaccines causing polio:
"Over 250 cases of polio were attributed to vaccines produced by one company: Cutter Laboratories. This case, which came to be known as the Cutter Incident, resulted in many cases of paralysis. The vaccine was recalled as soon as cases of polio were detected."

But since polio vaccines "cured" polio, it had to be given a new name: acute flaccid myelitis #afm

A must read:

Jon Rappoport interview of ex vaccine researcher
Excerpt:
A: Vaccines are the last defense of modern medicine. Vaccines are the ultimate justification for the overall "brilliance" of modern medicine.

Q: Do you believe that people should be allowed to choose whether they should get vaccines?

A: On a political level, yes. On a scientific level, people need information, so that they can choose well. It's one thing to say choice is good. But if the atmosphere is full of lies, how can you choose? Also, if the FDA were run by honorable people, these vaccines would not be granted licenses. They would be investigated to within an inch of their lives.

Q: There are medical historians who state that the overall decline of illnesses was not due to vaccines.

A: I know. For a long time, I ignored their work.

Q: Why?

A: Because I was afraid of what I would find out. I was in the business of developing vaccines. My livelihood depended on continuing that work.

Q: And then?

A: I did my own investigation.

Q: What conclusions did you come to?

A: The decline of disease is due to improved living conditions.

Q: What conditions?

A: Cleaner water. Advanced sewage systems. Nutrition. Fresher food. A decrease in poverty. Germs may be everywhere, but when you are healthy, you don't contract the diseases as easily.

Q: What did you feel when you completed your own investigation?

A: Despair. I realized I was working a sector based on a collection of lies.

Q: Are some vaccines more dangerous than others?

A: Yes. The DPT shot, for example. The MMR. But some lots of a vaccine are more dangerous than other lots of the same vaccine. As far as I'm concerned, all vaccines are dangerous.

Q: Why?

A: Several reasons. They involve the human immune system in a process that tends to compromise immunity. They can actually cause the disease they are supposed to prevent. They can cause other diseases than the ones they are supposed to prevent.

Q: Why are we quoted statistics which seem to prove that vaccines have been tremendously successful at wiping out diseases?

A: Why? To give the illusion that these vaccines are useful. If a vaccine suppresses visible symptoms of a disease like measles, everyone assumes that the vaccine is a success. But, under the surface, the vaccine can harm the immune system itself. And if it causes other diseases -- say, meningitis -- that fact is masked, because no one believes that the vaccine can do that. The connection is overlooked.

Q: It is said that the smallpox vaccine wiped out smallpox in England.

A: Yes. But when you study the available statistics, you get another picture.

Q: Which is?

A: There were cities in England where people who were not vaccinated did not get smallpox. There were places where people who were vaccinated experienced smallpox epidemics. And smallpox was already on the decline before the vaccine was introduced.

Q: So you're saying that we have been treated to a false history.

A: Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. This is a history that has been cooked up to convince people that vaccines are invariably safe and effective.

Hello Everyone, I've been thinking about the phrase "sit back and watch the show". In the last 3.5 years we've been watching people become more and more crazy which has been discussed here with many examples and threads. We were warned by the C's in the last session things would become even more crazy and of course we're seeing that. In the last few days I've started to "watch the show". This requires being detached from whats happening in a certain way, so that I can observe without an emotional response to it. And then seeing how truly, bizarre people are behaving.This seems to be an attribute of endeavoring to follow a Stoic perspective which I've been working on. Watching my thoughts to not be pulled into negative imaginings, accepting what I can't change, looking at my own death. Also putting energy into positive and creative things like watching my diet, exercise, supplements and helping those around me. I do feel fairly positive these days. So, I think there is a deeper meaning to this simple phrase "sit back and watch the show'. Its a bit hard to explain but I find it helpful. Something like sitting in a movie theater and watching the drama unfold. Or being in the world but not of it.

A few scenes from the movie:
A local health official made an announcement that everyone should wear masks while they're out and especially the people working in all food stores. I went to our local health food store, Vitamin Cottage/Natural Grocer and there was a sign at the entrance. "If you have tested positive for Covid 19 your not allowed in the store. If you enter the health authorities will be notified and we will call the police and have you arrested." Yikes! My friendly, store for many years has gone dark. How would they know if someone tested positive, doesn't make sense either. I was the only one in the store who didn't have a mask on and it made me feel paranoid. They had the shield in front of the registers and all the markings on the floor.

Next I went to Walmart and none of the workers had masks on and neither did a lot of the customers. It was such a relief, I felt human again. The check out woman was very friendly with a nice smile. What a difference between these 2 stores. Attributing things to politics, as I often do, I thought the Natural Grocer people where likely liberals, following the hype and Democrats., The Walmart people where more likely Trump supporters who said the masks where voluntary....I don't know, just my thoughts. First time I thought WalMart was better!

The weekend local paper featured a man on the front page that put his Halloween decorations up in his front yard to lighten peoples mood he said, he was pictured with a big smile. The largest figure, about 6 ft., was of a ugly, snarling clown with raggedy cloths covered in blood. The other figure, hanging from a noose on his porch, was a smaller figure, white and bloated. Well, that should cheer people up!

This reminded me of all those creepy clown sightings a few years ago. Which then brought to mind the Pokeman craze that happened around the same time. I think that was pretty much the beginning of all the craziness that followed. Now the plot thickens.

A stroll down memory lane:

Clowns in the woods

Would it be possible to have this on the table in the next session? It is very creepy and watching some the videos makes me feel bad for the people who encountered this. I am thinking it could be an interdimensional phenomenon, but I won't rule out the possibility that something or someone is...

I haven't even begun to properly unpack this piece of cultural weirdness, but I figured it might be a good idea to start up a short thread on the subject. I'd be very interested to hear people's thoughts on this. My initial impression... This cell phone game gets people used to the idea of...

I saw a film last night: The hut - a weekend with God. In one scene, the Holy Spirit forces Mack to decide which of his two children will go to heaven and which will go to hell. He cannot make this decision out of love for his children and offers to go to hell himself. A decision STO . When I look at this forum and the work, the energy to solve the current problem, the question arises: If C say that there is a choice of which side you want to be on - then the work here is an expression of where you located. Is it just the search for knowledge to solve a problem to gain more knowledge or is it the drive to sacrifice one's resources so that other people are spared something and you can help other people? It's probably both. And I am becoming more aware every day of how vital this forum is in an information and ego world. It reminds me of reading somewhere: correct information is not shared with everyone. Only those who have knowledge and understand the meaning will be the keepers. Knowledge will never be lost in this way. And in this network, knowledge will increase exponentially. I am very happy to be here and to be able to participate. Thanks❤

I have a question for @Gaby @nicklebleu and other health professionals, that I think would be important to know:

In Finland (and probably elsewher) they are soon implementing 'COVID-19 antibody tests' to determine who might have had the virus unknowingly. They will be sending out invitations around the country, and I maybe 'invited' too. So, I saw someone mention that in this kind of antibody test, they will not only draw blood from you, but they will also inject something into you. Is this accurate, or bogus?

If this test includes injecting 'something' into you, I would be highly suspicious about the content of this 'something'.

 

[hlat]

They will be sending out invitations around the country, and I maybe 'invited' too.

Sounds like when they summon Americans for jury duty, with the threat of fines to enforce it. But what they don't tell you if that they can't fine you unless they can prove that you received the summons in the mail. Mail gets lost all the time. So how does the government know that you received the jury summons? Well, most people confirm that they received the summons by registering online, over the phone, or by mail. What happens to the people who don't confirm receipt? Nothing. Maybe another threatening piece of mail, followed by nothing.

I wondered at the mention of high altitude sickness whether the symptoms are similar to decompression sickness or the bends. Some of the symptoms with that seem to match up too. This source mentions itching, but other sources that I've read refer to pins and needles or tingling.

I have been wondering how those kinds of symptoms can be happening too. It may or may not be something that we haven't been thinking about. We don't think much about how a change in gravity could affect not only the earth but our solar system as well.

Session 4 July 2009:

Q: (L) I think that's because once, somebody made a big deal out of them saying "remnants of Atlantis" and they meant descendants. (A*l) Do they mean that if our environment wasn't so polluted that we could have super powers? (L) They said "cosmic environment".

A: Gravity is different now.

Q: (A*l) What happened to gravity? How'd it change?

A: Travels of the solar system through space. You are heading for another such changes soon.
