Talking with the compliance officer

I spoke today with the compliance officer in our college. She oversees compliance with CoVID regulations coming from government, and from our own administration. I had sent her a long list of information supporting my claims that the injections are dangerous, ineffective, and worsening the pandemic. I said I feared we were driving students away, and that we should not ruin young people’s lives because of the fears of old people. What do you think the college’s compliance officer said?

Well, knock me over with a feather. She said she agreed, and has been making the same argument internally. She agreed that CoVID is turning into a milder, seasonal, respiratory illness, less lethal for young people than the flu. There are loud, powerful voices that prefer harsher rules, but she thinks they will eventually lose ground. She wants to circulate this information cautiously to see if we can change a few more minds.

One more anecdote from today. Mrs. Surak and I went shopping at the famous wholesaler. Midway through our shopping trip, I started to feel air-starved, and finally removed my mask. I would say about half the customers were masked, half unmasked. Mrs. Surak was not happy. She attributes the lower morbidity and mortality from respiratory viruses in east Asia to widespread masking. She is very smart and knowledgeable and may be right about this, although there are other variables that differ.

Personally, I am approaching the breaking point. Around the world, cases are way up, but deaths are down. Omicron is that mild version of CoVID that can give you immunity. We are stocked full of therapeutics, and can treat whatever comes. After two years, I say: enough!

Potentially explosive: “NHS Doctor Says “All The Vaccines Will Be Recalled Soon”” 10 minutes. “Alarming footage circulating on social media features a doctor telling a UK woman not to take anymore Covid vaccines because the shots are about to be halted globally. In the incredible video reportedly out of Chichester, UK, a woman in a telemedicine appointment with a doctor is informed the worldwide vaccination scheme is coming to an end because of information the public has not yet been made aware of.”

Crumbling Narratives Leave the Ruling Class with Everything to Fear” “Here’s what our COVID-1984 authoritarians want: they seek to use pandemics, wars, uncontrolled immigration, doomsday climate predictions, and “woke” cultural Marxism to keep people in a constant state of fear, divided among themselves, and willing to hand over their freedoms for evaporative promises of protection.  “Protection” in this racket means survival but not lifeequity but not fairness, financial handouts but not prosperity, and politically correct narratives but no truth… I think Patrick Rothfuss got it right when he warned, “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”  What happens as more and more people discover that all of the elites’ dancing under the light of the moon these last few decades has really been about worshiping narratives for control and nothing more?  What happens when that light, like all their other “noble lies,” dies out?  I think then we will experience what comes when all three great fears are unleashed at once — a monumental storm washing away “elite” corruption and power, the rage of long quiet and civilized men, and a period of unavoidable darkness that must exist before the next new moon can rise.” The anger of a gentle man…

Rabbi Chananya Weissman: “The Plandemic – And Refusing to Accept Reality” “The honesty and fortitude it takes to accept that one was terribly wrong… if someone willingly took one or more injections of a bioweapon, believing it was a miracle drug, or spent the last two years assaulting people for not wearing masks, it will be very painful for them to admit that they were terribly mistaken. This is even more true if they compelled their parents, spouse, or children to take these shots. They may have doomed themselves and those closest to them to serious injury or death. If they accept this reality it will torment them day and night for the rest of their lives, especially if they have to acknowledge that a tragic “coincidence” was really nothing of the sort. It takes great honesty and fortitude to accept that one was terribly wrong about something with such severe consequences. This is why many people continue to dismiss any and all evidence that challenges their stance. This also explains why they often explode in rage when people who care about them desperately try to share information that could potentially save their lives.”

The American Medical Association Falls to CRT” “White Coats for Black Lives (WC4BL), a national organization led by medical students, published its statement of “vision and values.” The organization, which boasts 75 chapters at medical schools across the country and was called to action by the Black Lives Matter movement, “aims to dismantle racism in medicine and fight for the health of Black people and other people of color […]. Our job is two-fold: 1) dismantling dominant, exploitative systems in the United States, which are largely reliant on anti-Black racism, colonialism, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism; and 2) rebuilding a future that supports the health and well-being of marginalized communities.” WC4BL also focuses on “dismantling fatphobia,” embracing “Black queer feminist praxis (theory and practice),” “unlearning toxic medical knowledge and relearning medical care that centers the needs of Black people and communities.”” This should really help improve “healthcare”…

Society requires memory

Alas, Mrs. Surak was not feeling well enough to travel today. We have postponed our plans. But I will still share some pictures with you, as I promised!

This region is within the boundaries of the USA. It is a little bit different from Baltimore, Berkeley, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC, and the like.

Here are some of the people.

They live as most of our ancestors lived up until about 200 years ago. They work very hard six days per week, producing much of the food we eat. They then devote one day per week to the worship of almighty God. They are very productive, self-reliant, and close-knit. As in many religious communities, those who dare to question and to leave are “shunned”.

Could you live like that now? Your ancestors did. If there were an electromagnetic pulse weapon directed at the USA, their lives would continue mostly unaware. They would survive more easily than you.

Would you live like that now? Should you live like that now? Their educational level goes up to the eighth grade, I believe. My mind could not accept such constraints. I hunger to know the architecture of God’s mind (logic, mathematics) and the glory of His universe (science, history, philosophy). I revel in the beauty uncovered by musicians and artists. I cannot be satisfied merely to labor.

Yesterday, I offered you an introductory interview with Alexander Dugin: https://www.countere.com/home/an-interview-with-russian-philosopher-alexander-dugin-countere-magazine I do not want to make too much out of Mr. Dugin, but in a time of social collapse, I open my mind to those who have questioned the basic foundations of our society.

As I recall, Dugin and others distinguish between two types of societies. One type, with which we are more familiar, lives closer to the sea, engages more in foreign trade, engages in more intellectual speculation, and is more comfortable altering the parameters of its life. Here, we might be referring to coastal America, Britain, Greece and Rome, and so on.

The other type of society is more continental, more inland, more insulated from outside influences, more traditional, and less willing to change. Presumably Russia is the archetype of such a society. These two types of society are destined to conflict.

Dugin pushes further and identifies the stable societies as those characterized by an ethnos: a specific cultural-ethnic-linguistic identity. China, India, Japan, and Russia all have that distinctive character. So did Britain, France, Germany, and Italy until the late 20th century.

A society does not need to be 100% ethnically pure in order to have a dominant culture, provided assimilation is demanded of immigrants, and the dominant culture is respected by minorities. Once that demand and that respect are declared “racist” (but only in some countries!), that society’s cohesiveness is dead, and it is but a matter of time until the country itself fractures.

I love to visit the area pictured above. I feel calmer and more grounded. Yet my intellect needs to continue to work and to strive upward. In such times, I think a lot about a particular Psalm.

A Song of Maalot [the Temple steps] of David. Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, like a child who is weaned from his mother; my soul is like a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.

Psalm 131

I think this may be the secret of the people in the pictures above.

Doug Casey on Why Most People Outsource Their Thinking to “The Experts”

An interview with Alexander Dugin” I would like your opinion on this controversial philosopher. At some time, I would like to begin philosophical discussions of the basics we take for granted. Do these basic assumptions lead to dangers for society?

Dugin is not the first to question the nominalist choice in the Middle Ages. “Are ideals real or nominal? Who cares?” Oh, you should care. Richard Weaver explained why in his book Ideas Have Consequences, and Dugin seems to follow in his footsteps.

Glenn Beck warned that Dugin is dangerous. I respect the warning, because Beck profoundly understands the power of ideas. However, as I watch my society disintegrate, I will continue to read dangerous ideas that may help me understand why.
