The advocates of immunisation believe that it is necessary to challenge the immune system by injecting a tolerable dosage of dangerous pathogens in order to acquire immunity. They also typically advocate the frequent use of hand sanitiser, which eliminates countless tolerable germs that we naturally rely on to continuously challenge our immune system and thus maintain strong adaptive immunity. The use of hand-sanitiser is anti-immunisation.
Propaganda
Under the influence of propaganda one does not feel manipulated; it endows certainly of moral conscience, emotional clarity, unquestionable correctness of thought. The more emotional clarity we have and the stronger is our sense of moral right, the more rigorously we must question ourselves, we must learn to doubt ourselves, because we make errors of judgments, especially when confronted with shocking events. This is precisely why propaganda aims to stir primal emotions, provoke terror and anxiety, because the primal, animal brain does not think rationally but reacts to existentially challenging stimulus in a predictable fashion. Be more more rational, less emotional, if you want to be free.

Two Kinds of Love
In one sense, Love is not an emotion but a state of consciousness, a state of special awareness of another, whereas any emotion that is interpreted as love, you know, the kind of ‘love’ that makes you crave, miss, yearn, that makes you jealous or, simply, one that moves you to action, is something else, something less than Love, something that makes you dependent, that binds you, is more primal and less conscious, less human, more animal. Beware of those who equivocate between these two kinds of love.

Ukraine Far Right Extremism and Terrorism Threat Assessment (West Point Academy)
Abstract: Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in the United States and Europe have become more active and dangerous in the last decade and have developed a much deeper online presence. This has helped them establish closer transnational contacts. One common preoccupation for both individuals and groups has been the conflict in Ukraine, where a well-established far-right extremist movement and its associated militia have consistently engaged with and welcomed far-right ideologues and fighters from other parts of Europe and North America. https://ctc.usma.edu/the-nexus-between-far-right-extremists-in-the-united-states-and-ukraine/

Critique of Nativism
Your heritage consists of the intergenerationally developed structures and principles we carry in our minds. You can ignore them, you can reject them, you can instead choose the fleeting popular culture or ideology that will subvert and erase your heritage, but even without the countless diversions it takes a great effort to preserve your heritage, to understand and cultivate it, to claim it, because without cultivation it will become polluted by error, and will be forgotten, and your Self will dis-integrate and turn against itself, lost for meaning. So do not be distracted by nationalistic ideals, by the nativist pride or by tribal “identity”. You are nothing, you belong nowhere, and you are owed nothing apart from what is inside of you, and only that which is inside of you, the human heritage you were able to assimilate and cultivate, is a testimony of your value to others. This heritage is a product of humanity, of rational consciousness, and no nation or tribe can claim monopoly on meaning. On the flipside, land ownership and nationahood are primarily economic constructs, places of collaboration and effort, and the main reason for restricting access to national territory is to prevent free-for-all expropriation of value generated by others. On another level, nation-states are socio-cultural experiments, trying out different approaches to managing human needs and disagreements, and of meaningful co-existence in relatively autonomous areas, so that comparison, mutual evaluation and learning are possible.

Junk Science from Nature
A new research paper (in the News today) submitted to Nature suggests that even mild Covid infection causes brain and cognitive degeneration. The most glaring problems with this study:
1) “Information on the vaccination status (except for those identified through lateral flow test), and how both vaccination dates might interact with the date of infection, is also currently unavailable.” Strangely, the authors do not report or analyse the effect of vaccination status even where known. It is therefore possible that only infections following vaccination were associated with the degenerative effect.
2) Another confounder is the possible presence of degenerative brain disease before infection in those who showed the degenerative effect after infection. The authors reported a pattern of lower brain volumes and cognitive abilities in those who subsequently become infected with Covid. They assert without evidence that this could not explain their findings. “While the two groups were not significantly different across major demographic and risk factor variables, we identified a subtle pattern of lower cognitive abilities in the participants who went on to be infected, but this could not explain away our longitudinal findings. The future positive cases also showed lower subcortical volume, and higher diffusion abnormalities at baseline compared with the controls, in brain regions not overlapping with our longitudinal results.“
3) Only positive cases who were unvaccinated were re-tested to confirm the positive result, therefore those who were vaccinated had a greater likelihood of being false positives. This obvious bias allows for the possibility that it was not Covid infection that produced the degenerative effect, but the vaccine, irrespective of infection.”Participants were also invited to take a home-based lateral flow (Fortress Fast COVID-19 Home test, Fortress Diagnostics and ABC-19TM Rapid Test, Abingdon Health) to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. A second kit was sent to all participants who recorded an initial positive result and who had indicated they had not yet been vaccinated, in order to reduce the number of false positives.”

I do not understand what is happening in Ukraine. It doesn’t make sense how Russia is playing this and all the commentary in the news media is nonsense. Something else is going on, but I do not know what. I have presented some hypotheses above, but here is another one. Since Russia is not using their state of the art equipment or much of their standing force in this invasion, but more or less match the equipment and capacity of the Ukrainian defenders, it is possible that they are trying to draw out the fighting and bleed Ukraine slowly, in an even fight (while using only a small fraction of its fighting capacity), while indirectly causing maximum economic disruption to the rest of the world. At the same time they can expect to draw all the nationalistic fanatics into combat and little by little kill them off, thereby securing a more peaceful, less aggressive social mix when they will finally have to leave Ukraine. In this way Russia could mitigate the future risk of any renewed fighting, revenge terrorism, or massacres in the autonomous, Russian speaking regions. On the other side of the fence, Zelensky is enthusiastically assisting Russia to accomplish this hypothetical objective, inciting Ukrainian males and boys to fight despite zero chances of success. I would not be hugely surprised if Zelensky were a Russian agent.
The world has an inequality problem - intelligence-inequality problem. When differences in intelligence are high, the smarter people cannot be understood by the least intelligent people, they cannot come to agreement about critical issues because the conceptual resolution at which they view reality is too different. This in turn compels the smarter minority to lie to the less intelligent majority, creating a sharply demarcated, two class society. I suspect that somewhere in the logic of the Reset, this point carries great weight. They don’t know how to deal with the threat posed by the stupidity of the masses apart from a) continuous manipulation (which is unreliable and exhausting), b) mandatory, targeted medication or bio-hacking (which is unethical), or c) extermination (which is grotesque and would be psychologically damaging to the elites themselves). I suspect they agreed on b).
In 5 years, maybe 10, all the truck drivers will be retired. They wont be needed, because trucks will be self-driving; lower running costs, shorted delivery times, higher reliability and vastly improved road safety. These people can’t be reskilled to become AI programmers, they will mostly remain unemployed for the rest of their lives. I wonder whether this expected social crisis has anything to do with truckers being mobilised for protests all around the world.
On Authenticity
The concept of personal “authenticity” was invented by Stalin, so if he wished to destroy someone it didn’t matter that they did nothing wrong, because they were “inauthentic” in their right conduct. A watered down version of this term was reinvented by the Existentialists, to signify being true to your nature, acting out your true self. In both instances the same logical error is involved, the assumption that humans have some hidden, original state that cannot be changed, that we cannot change, because that would be “inauthentic”. So if you are a psychopath, being authentic entails acting like a psychopath, and if are prone to lying, you should lie. The concept of Authenticity rests on a category mistake between IS and OUGHT, between what you are and what you ought to be, and is therefore provably false, pseudo intellectual nonsense. It is also dehumanising, implying that humans lack the capacity for meaningful change, lack free will, and therefore are deterministic products of nature (for existentialists) or history (for communists), or “hackable animals” in the words of one more recent pseudo-intellectual (Klaus Schwab).

The premise of Victimhood prevents us from learning from our suffering; it arrests critical introspection. We suffer, at least in part, because we are irrational. People like Klaus Schwab merely amplify the effect of our irrationality, credulity, conceit. Instead of seeing ourselves as victims of a powerful elite we should burn in shame for allowing this situation to be even possible. We should study our suffering and oppression to improve ourselves.
Do not underestimate how important it is to absolutely defeat medical mandates on ethical and rational grounds. This is not going away but will ramp up again, and again, and again. Efficacy of vaccines and the magnitude of the threat are not ethically relevant. I do not see any hope of defeating vaccine mandates apart from this: https://culturalanalysisnet.wordpress.com/2022/02/26/why-vaccine-mandates-are-unethical/
The ethical argument against vaccine mandates does not depend on how infectious or lethal the pathogen is. If we have to kill one person to save 1 million people, we are still committing murder, human sacrifice. If we would give up the right to free medical consent because it serves our interest now, another government may use it to kill our children, from whom we have taken away that right by agreeing for it to be taken away in principle. If we would accept that all healthy humans are born in a defective and dangerous state that must be coercively modified for public safety, then we would agree that the government may modify us in ANY way that may improve public safety, without our free consent. If we reject the value of humanity as it is, we have no basis from which to argue how it ought to be. All these points are captured here: https://culturalanalysisnet.wordpress.com/2022/02/26/why-vaccine-mandates-are-unethical
The relative impact of vaccination momentum on COVID-19 rates of death in the USA in 2020/2021. The forgotten role of population wellness.
Abstract
It is widely accepted that individual underlying health conditions contribute to morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19; and by inference population wellness will also contribute to COVID-19 outcomes. In addition, over the last two years the predominant pharmaceutical public health response to COVID-19 has been vaccination momentum (i.e. mass and rapid inoculation campaigns). This paper aims to compare vaccination momentum throughout 2021 and measures of population wellness to estimate the relative impact of each on deaths attributed to COVID-19 across the 50 States of America, plus Washington DC, during 2020 (i.e. the pre-vaccination period) and 2021 (i.e. the vaccination period). Our analysis shows that: (a) COVID-19 rates of death in 2020 are more important, and statistically more significant, at predicting rates of death in 2021 than vaccination momentum during 2021; (b) vaccination momentum does not predict the magnitude of change in COVID-19 rates of death between 2020 and 2021; and (c) for several underlying heath and risk factors vaccination momentum is significantly less important than population wellness at predicting COVID-19 rates of death. Of particular interest are our observations that exercise and fruit consumption are 10.1 times more significant at predicting COVID-19 deaths than vaccination momentum, obesity (BMI 30+) is 9.6 times more significant at predicting COVID-19 deaths than vaccination momentum, heart attacks are 4.37 times more significant at predicting COVID-19 deaths than vaccination momentum and smoking is 3.2 times more significant at predicting COVID-19 deaths than vaccination momentum. If medical and health regulators are to deliver a quantum decrease in COVID-19 deaths they must move beyond the overwhelming focus on COVID-19 vaccination. They must have the courage to urge governments and private organisations to mandate greater exercise, weight loss, less junk food, and better nutrition. And a concerted effort at reducing chronic adverse health conditions.
