The other issue with the "children are resilient" mantra is that resilience is no excuse to mistreat anyone. Just because someone will bounce back from a black eye doesn't mean I should punch him in the face.

Also, children are only resilient if we raise them in a way to become resilient. We have been doing the exact opposite, for the most part.

Absolutely. Not sure when this started but 25yrs ago I had my first kid and back then I noticed how some other mothers were being overprotective. These mothers were usually older 35+, had higher education and jobs. Anyway, maybe a coincidence but those kids are all jabbed, mine aren’t.

As people have fewer children and start families later, one individual child becomes more important and precious within that family. As well, the infant mortality rate has decreased so much that it's much more rare to have complications. In the before times, before modern medicine, infant mortality rate was quite high. CDC has an in-depth article here: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4838a2.htm

The insidious thing about opening the door to anti-reality is that the lies needn't be anchored in reality in the first place; they needn't hold any ground in reason or logic. They serve a higher purpose and are thus exempt from the laws of nature - or the indictments of badthinkers.

The lies of leftism are 'impossible constructions', Penrose stairs of the progressive mind.

You see, it's always a matter of 'perspective'. When it comes to absolving me of responsibility or any other matters of parental dereliction associated with my identity-driven status that imperils my child, my child is resilient!

But when that same progressive status seeking requires a constantly curated bubble of anti-reality in order to 'protect' my child from the dangerous badfeelz or wrongthink of yesterday's hateful reality, well then, he's not very resilient by nature of that bubble.

We send the kids up the stairs of Progress because resilience as they simultaneously descend those same stairs to become delicate snowflakes in a tenuous state of anti-reality.

The children, like so many canaries in the mines of totalitarian progress, know the Truth because it is innate. Their cries should haunt us. Satanic inversion always demands the sacrifice of our children in order to protect them. One of the many tells of the covid era is this moral inversion of imperiling the kids in order to protect the aged and weak.

It's an interesting concept, but the site includes things such as the right to vote, make educational decisions, to drink, and "not be at the mercy of parents." This is a double edged sword, because the obvious inference is that children should have the right to consent to vaccination, and the right to consent to sexual activity.

They don't have a page detailing their donors, but their "about" page and wiki history list a lot of Jewish names. It would not surprise me if this were a project of Soros or someone like him.

It's another form of dividing the community into discrete political groups based on identity, when "human rights" should suffice.

"… the obvious inference is that children should have the right to consent to vaccination, and the right to consent to sexual activity."

Is it prima facie a bad idea to allow them these rights? I admit that kids wouldn't be convinced they need Covid shots if they hadn't been manipulated and lied to by their elders, but I wouldn't deny them the freedom to choose, because two wrongs don't make a right.

As for sexual activity, the harsh prosecution of teenagers who sext each other just shows how dangerous it is to attempt to restrict the consensual sexual behavior of the young by force of law.

"It would not surprise me if this were a project of Soros or someone like him."

So what if Soros supports them? In this, he could be the proverbial stopped clock that tells the right time twice a day. The idea of youth rights is to be judged on its own merits, not by who contributes to the cause.

"It's another form of dividing the community into discrete political groups based on identity, when 'human rights' should suffice."

Laws that discriminate based on age divide the community into discrete political groups, don't they? Yes, they do, and that's why invocations of "human rights" will not suffice as long as so many ageists call themselves supporters of human rights.

(By the way, I don't necessarily oppose every legal discrimination based on age. The law may need to distinguish between an adult and a toddler in a few ways. I admit that youth rights is somewhat more complicated and nuanced than most other civil rights causes.)

In a sane and functional world, I would agree, but that's not the world we live in. We inhabit a world ruled by clients of Epstein and Maxwell, who, despite whatever random sexting prosecutions occurring in whatever state I'm not aware of, are pushing the boundaries to not only destroy the traditional family unit, but to exploit children in the extreme. Just look at the number of prominent people who have openly supported NAMBLA, and got a free pass from the press and the establishment despite doing so and are now enshrined as cultural icons. They may not openly advertise anymore, but the agenda moves on. The push to allow children to "transition" at any age is just one way this is manifest. We are dealing with the same cult who sacrificed children in mass to Moloch. They have not changed.

Whether we live in a perfect world, or the one we have, until the age of majority, parents are the ultimate authority and discretion as far as their children are concerned, and this has always been so. Whether they exercise this role with responsibility and wisdom is beside the point.

As with the election, the fake pandemic, and everything else, we already have the laws and the tools to deal with child exploitation and inequality, but they are not used effectively because they are being run by the same team as the exploiters. Child protective services in the Western hemisphere are the biggest human traffickers in existence. It seems to me the solution is to clean the house we have.

Expand full comment

You're reminding me of the vicious circle of flawed reasoning that keeps the war on drugs going. Problems such as overdose, contamination, and crime get blamed on drugs themselves when they should instead be blamed on their prohibition, and so prohibition is rationalized as the solution to the very problems it causes.

Something similar goes on with anti-youth ageism. Laws preventing young people from working full time, renting an apartment, or choosing their own guardians only make it easier, not harder, for the Epsteins and Maxwells of the world to exploit teenage "runaways". Your theory about their agenda defies the logic of self-interest. Why should child predators support the empowerment of potential victims?

Your "and this has always been so" glosses over the great many cultural and historical differences in when someone has been considered old enough to do what without a parent's permission. With differences so wide and seemingly arbitrary, how can they not be legitimate subjects of debate?

But the most important reason to support youth rights that I have any hope of convincing you on is probably the year 2020. Did 2020 happen because most of the citizenry were taught submission to arbitrary authority in the first two decades of life? I can't prove it scientifically, but it seems very likely to me.

Expand full comment

If you say so. I grew up in the system, so I have firsthand experience. Your reasoning is an inversion.

"Problems such as overdose, contamination, and crime get blamed on drugs themselves when they should instead be blamed on their prohibition, and so prohibition is rationalized" That is the opposite of what I said. What I said was we already have existing laws and departments, which, if enforced and used for their stated purpose would solve many of the problems. According to your logic, "youth rights laws" *Are* the equivalent of prohibition.

And the idea that easy emancipation would protect children from the Epsteins is absurd on it's face.

As a Nazi put it when being interviewed by Milton Mayer for “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45”:

“‘I was nothing. Then, suddenly, I was needed. National Socialism had a place for me. I was nothing—and then I was needed.’”

Mayer also describes the ingredients that had been thrown in the pot to create the conditions for mass formation psychosis:

“Crisis is our diet, served up as exotic dishes and dishes ever more exotic before we are able to swallow, let alone digest, those that were just before us.”

These people feed on crisis and anxiety because it gives their lives meaning; without it, they are, as the Nazi confesses, “nothing.” They have no identity outside of the mental illnesses they have cultivated in response to the behavioral psychologists’ Pavlovian incentives and punishments.

As Einstein says:

“The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.”

I'm not a big fan of organized religion, but I feel that you are correct. I think mankind has an innate need to explain everything we see, and our current knowledge does not meet that need.

Okay, but at the same time, Trump —as the crypto white hats' public face for an underground organization working (successfully!) to overthrow 'the Cabal'— served as the focal point to form the mass of people who explicitly align themselves with the philosophy "Where we go one, we go all." It is not hard to see how such a mantra institutes a collective, a shared belief in the mutual pain, mutual struggle each faces, and no longer faces alone.

Accepting COVID crystalized a group of authoritarians who became totalitarians on behalf of the globalists means also accepting it crystalized the resistance, using the exact same focal points. Trump, in this sense, was a continuation of the same pattern of "divide and rule" that marked the emotional responses to Obama. The multiracial obverse to the race-negating reverse, flip the coin and the two Camps nevertheless fell down the same.

So, Trump didn't just derange one group of people. He also deranged his supporters. That they are now —but only now?— noticing how Trump was instrumental in beginning and sustaining this round of the biopolitical takeover of Western society that they refuse to join in, how Trump was always in support of vaxxinations and steadfastly encourages his people vaxxinate themselves and others, is a good sign, just as it is a good sign for people to question any totalitarian response to COVID they have previously supported.

You won't get any argument from me. All of these leaders are puppets. As this live exercise/hoax plays out, we can see that they are all directed by the WEF.

They harped on him as a racist and misognist etc etc every single day, all day. That's where the derangement came from. Not really from Trump at all. Although I am of the mind that he was certainly controlled opposition, if you can even call them that. I think the CIA puts them all in place and then controls them.

Except I don't see Trump playing a part in the intentional release of a biological weapon by two well know enemies; China and the DNC.

Going into the 2020 election the Democrats had nothing on which to run except Orange Man Bad, bogus accusations of Russia, Russia, Russia, bogus "impeachment hearings," more bogus accusations, i.e., Ukraine, bounties for dead American soldiers, and on and on but, nothing of substance; economically, societal, nothing, and China, well, when's the last time a U S President put their feet to the fire on so many important issues?

I'm unsure what you're arguing or advancing here, and that's on me: I'm new to your style of writing and thinking. I appreciate you taking the time to make the point. It's clearly important to you.

That said, if you think there were an intentional release of a biological weapon, what leads you to think not only that this is the case but also that Trump was not "playing a part" in that?

I think there were a number of things the DNC and its candidates ran on besides separation from the former President, but they might not have resonated with what you consider valuable, and so they didn't linger in your thinking about what they were thinking. I don't disagree with you that there are a number of ways we can say the DNC is compromised wrt China —but any detailed examination of that compromise will quickly demonstrate how much China has compromised various parties within the USA, at various levels, from local offices and bureaucracies to the largest Federal and even transnational ones.

Unrestricted warfare for the Chinese has meant taking advantage of the overwhelming weaknesses endemic to the United States of America: the mendacity of its information distribution networks, the corruptibility of key figures in representational politics, the large numbers of addicted personalities throughout the population. Just as the CIA used drugs and drug money to overthrow Central/South American/Southeast Asian nations, China has also been using drugs and drug money (prescription as well as illegal!) to narcotize and defeat the American people. They have even managed to combine this addictive quality in the people with their habitual use of misinformation and repackaged it to Americans in the form of TikTok. It's worked, and the American people are constantly trained and habituated to only form thoughts of a few sentences, even just a few phrases.

Some people might read what I wrote and take stock of their own habits. I know I have my own addictions to own and wrestle with. But I see it, and sometimes hope that others see it as well, in themselves, this habit to reduce the complexities and nuances of their own beautiful thoughts into short, transient phrases and sound bytes.

The Second Chunk.

"I think there were a number of things the DNC and its candidates ran on besides separation from the former President, but they might not have resonated with what you consider valuable, and so they didn't linger in your thinking about what they were thinking. I don't disagree with you that there are a number of ways we can say the DNC is compromised wrt China —but any detailed examination of that compromise will quickly demonstrate how much China has compromised various parties within the USA, at various levels, from local offices and bureaucracies to the largest Federal and even transnational ones."

Starting with the later part, I agree. On our side, we call them RINO's and want them gone.

Regarding the first part of your comment, I'm not sure what Democrat candidate ideas you are alluding too but here is what I meant when I said, "they had nothing;"

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/

Granted, this is from the Trump Whitehouse, but if you differ, please explain what and why.

He accomplished all of those things while under an unrelenting attack from the Democrats, Media, and, Academia. The more he performed, the more he made inroads into traditional Democrat voting blocs, minorities specifically, and blue collar workers, hence the intensity of the fake attacks, i.e., impeachments, etc.

Obama: America is not in decline, Trump lacks 'magic wand' to grow economy http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/watch-live-president-obamas-town-hall-in-elkhart-indiana/

Well, the "magic wand" is the free enterprise system that Socialists can't understand, and why Obama sounded lost, bewildered?

So, again, how could the Democrats and their smear machine compete with these results? They couldn't so enter "The Big Cheat, The Big Steal" predicated on the Pandemic, which was the basis for all illegal mail-in voting (couldn't vote in person and spread the virus, could we?)

Couple that aspect, mail-in voting, with the five swings states all stopping the count in the middle of the night based on lies, i.e., broken water pipe, etc., and then resuming the counting while everyone was gone. Then, miracles of miracles, Biden suddenly leaps into the lead.

"Shortly after midnight (eastern), President Trump was leading in all six of the swing states still in issue: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, and had racked up, apart from those six states, 232 electoral votes to Biden's 227.

Swing State Historical Imbalance For Biden?

1. "Let's begin by looking at some undisputed swing state data. Take Georgia to start. In 2012, @BarackObama won 1,773,827 votes in Georgia. We are now told @JoeBidenwon 2,473,633 Georgia votes, besting the first black president by a stunning 699,806 votes.

August Takala @AugustTakala

Florida counted 10.5 million ballots in 24 hours. Trump won 51-48. Georgia has taken two days to count 4.8 million votes, and Trump's margin is shrinking. It's remarkable how Biden performs the best in states where counting takes more time.

I agree. I think that many who supported him saw him as an alternative to rampant open corruption. His support for the vax is evidence of his large ego and failure to see how he was manipulated and made some very poor decisions especially around who he trusted.

I'm hard pressed to come up with a Presidential candidate that doesn't have a large ego. That being said, a lot of his advisors were inherited; Fauci, etc. impeded bureaucrats, i.e., swamp, and in the cesspool of the swamp, he couldn't just go in and wholesale fire everyone.

I remember the time when people, fed up with the lies, the corruption, said, "we need an outsider, a businessman, not immersed and tainted by politics to come in and clean things up. He was doing just that but the onslaught of 24/7 orange man bad was just too much for many to see through. What a shame.

This notion of catering to the every whim of the mentally ill was established by the woke movement, starting around the early to mid-2010s, via trigger warnings, safe spaces etc. on college campuses. That Zoom call notice uses the exact phrases that far-left organizations were using to justify banning conservatives from speaking on campus. Many people (Peterson, Haidt, Weinstein etc.) were warning back then how dangerous it is to accommodate this kind of distorted thinking. That this issue has only gotten worse since then, shows how dysfunctional our societies' dominant ways of thinking have become.

Let's stop calling them "woke". It's a dumb-sounding word. They call themselves "Progressives", so that seems like a good enough term to me. Let's make "Progressive" a dirty word.

It has been going on longer than that. When I was attending university in the late 80s, studying English with a minor in Humanities those same concepts were already being bandied about, we just didn't have a "woke" label yet.

Agree, a Dean in my medical school in ~1984-5 told us to try to win victories through expressing our feelings, how situations or people made us feel, because "they can't deny your feelings."

Also, I don't know when the grammatical term 'gender' was first highjacked to become a pretend biological term, but that would be another milestone.

I have seen, I think, a father of a young man in hospital due to an adverse vax reaction, shown seated by his son and tweeting: "adverse reactions can be managed, Covid cannot"

Expand full comment

If by that he means the spread of the virus cannot be managed, he is correct making use of vaccination to try to do so futile. He is arguing against himself. CoVid, the disease, can be managed, not always successfully, as most diseases can with therapy including drugs which so far have - their use - been almost banned, certainly dismissed out of hand.

Adverse reaction cannot be managed because they occur when the immune system goes out of control, they might be treated by antihistamine but not always successfully. However the injury being caused by the CoVid vaccines are not adverse reactions per se in the normal immune response sense, they are pathological changes at cellular level caused directly by the mRNA agent.

Worse: the young man - assuming fit and well - was at near zero risk from CoVid, making any risk, no matter how small, from the mRNA pseudo-vaccine unacceptable, and his hospitalisation iatrogenic - medical negligence and malpractice.

Great point! This past weekend, there were two ladies at church w no mask. I asked if there was an exemption in the bulletin. They panicked n were about to put the mask on. I reassured them I was not an usher n took off my mask in front of them. They got the biggest smile ever. Then I saw a couple of more people take off theirs. So it can work 👍

My son is 17, and is friends with a crew of neighborhood guys. (We homeschool, they go to various other schools, but have been out of school for Christmas). Let's say there are four, including my son. Two of them have been tested as postive Covid over the past 10 days, and the parents are making them isolate for ten days. Both boys had stuffy noses for a day, then were fine. (Why were they tested? I don't know...) But the parents are still making them quarantine, and my son told me last night, one of the boys is going to have to wear a mask when he's out and about when he's freed.

This is literally insane. All of these kids and these families are vaxxed and boosted. Their kid gets a stuffy nose and they are still living in terror? (No big health issues in these families btw, so there's not that excuse.) I mean, I can't wrap my head around the reasoning here.

I know tons of people right now who have "tested postive" for Covid. ALL VAXXED & BOOSTED. I admit my unvaxxed self is smirking over here.

I teach kids with learning difficulties. I'm also unjabbed. Most of my parents who are double/triple jabbed (kids too, usually) won't let me teach face to face for the time being. These are intelligent people, but they just CANNOT see the craziness of their actions. If the jabs are effective, it doesn't matter if I'm jabbed or not. If they are not effective, why the heck are they getting the kids and themselves jabbed up? I don't know how we can break this cycle apart from (and I don't want this) massed deaths. And even then...

Expand full comment

It does not help that the U.S. does not publish regular data on vaxxed vs. unvaxxed with the same regularity and detail of other countries. Britain's reports really underscore that it looks like these vaxxes aren't doing much, and may be causing increased all-cause mortality.

And Robert Malone, MD just published that piece about the life insurance companies reporting a massive increase in non-COVID death claims. Of course, Team Apocalypse is saying it's still all COVID-related, and not the vaccines causing other damage. And we all know that the spike protein is part of what is causing damage in either case...

We really need independent deep dives into the data, not from gov't stooges. What are people dying of, other than COVID. How old were they? Were they vaccinated? Did they ever have COVID?

Right now, both sides just play off the lack of data. I do not expect Team Apocalypse to EVER let the data be assessed by independent arbiters.

My 17 year old daughter has COVID. She is in a residential facility for teenagers with profound autism & other comorbidities. It was inevitable, given the environment.

She has home visits on Saturdays. We noticed she had a fairly significant amount of snorking going on, so we rapid tested her. Positive. (She was unvaxxed, but obviously has more natural immunity now.) She's doing okay. Still a bit of a cold and still in quarantine along with several other COVID-positive kids in the house. We Facetime with her every day.

Now that it's five days later, we're all going to rapid test ourselves. I just did. Negative. I'm the only unvaxxed member of the household. It'll be interesting to see what comes up with my son and husband, both vaxxed.

The ‘hand sanitiser’ ritual is hilarious to watch. Nobody uses enough or works it round their hands thoroughly - they might just as well throw a pinch over their left shoulder for luck. Nobody has a clue what it is supposed to do - it’s just a substitute as a hand cleanser when soap and water isn’t available. They believe it protects them if they touch a surface with pesky virus on it in the store. That’s just how dumb they are and why they wear masks and believe what they are told no matter how many times they are lied to.

My preferred protection is a clove of garlic on a string round the neck, and a fly-whisk to swat away airborne virus.
