Read or Condemn Yourself to Death by Ignorance

For those courageous souls brave enough to look and see what is,

who are unwilling to blindly accept

the lies and rules of tyrannical authority.

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.

One word of truth outweighs the world.


Wednesday 30th September 2020

If you have a Netflix subscription, before you cancel it, watch the documentary, The Social Dilemma. Got half way through it last night at found it rivetting!

I posted this some years back and was just reminded of it. If you desire to be informed it is worth watching.

(Tom: Golly gee gosh I love this advice! It is so good I am sharing it again. If you get a fraction as much from it as I got your day will be immeasurably enhanced.

Take joy in some creation today!)

The point is not to Win, but to do, to experience, to become.

With thanks to Vera Risdon and Kurt Vonnegut.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write a famous author and ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut was the only one to respond - and his response is magnificent:

“Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta:

I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I don’t make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana.

What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.

Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you’re Count Dracula.

Here’s an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you don’t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don’t tell anybody what you’re doing. Don’t show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?

Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash recepticals. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.

God bless you all!

Kurt Vonnegut”

 
 
 
 
Truth to Power - Could COVID-19 Have Escaped from a Lab?

(Tom: This is a great read about a scientist-turned-detective with a level of ethics that matches her competence in biology. Well worth the read! Executive summary: The seafood-market theory, which Chinese health officials and the World Health Organization espoused in the early days of the pandemic, was wrong. The virus was lab engineered.)

“There’s long been a sense that if the public and politicians really knew about the dangerous pathogen research being conducted in many laboratories, they’d be outraged. Denying the possibility of a catastrophic incident like this, then, could be seen as a form of career preservation [for scientists]. ’For the substantial subset of virologists who perform gain-of-function research,’ Richard Ebright, a Rutgers microbiologist and another founding member of the Cambridge Working Group, told me, ’avoiding restrictions on research funding, avoiding implementation of appropriate biosafety standards, and avoiding implementation of appropriate research oversight are powerful motivators. Antonio Regalado, biomedicine editor of MIT Technology Review, put it more bluntly. If it turned out COVID-19 came from a lab, he tweeted, ’it would shatter the scientific edifice top to bottom.’”

I fully endorse the strategy of allowing the vulnerable to protect themselves and the able to be free to live their lives without suppression.

 
 
 
 
Pre-Crime: Victorian Government Pushes for Powers to Preemptively Arrest Anyone, Even If They Haven’t Broken the Law
 
Imprisoned
 
 
 

Mainstream media are finally reporting on the Victorian government’s new bill to hand authorities the power to arrest anyone, even if they have not committed an offence.

10 News Melbourne reports: “[The] new law would give police the power to preemptively detain anyone with COVID or their close contacts even if they haven’t broken the law. All that’s required is that the officer thinks they might breach restrictions in the future.”

The report notes that the Health Department could also empower non-police, such as Public Safety Officers or Work Safe Inspectors, to preemptively detain citizens.

The new legislation places “no limit on detention time, no legislative oversight and no clear avenue for appeal.” Those detained could be placed in quarantine facilities to be monitored by authorities.

The law could see the arrest, not only of anyone the state deems a “conspiracy theorist” and therefore likely to neglect current restrictions, but also their family members and close contacts even if a crime has not been committed.

(Tom: Someone should tell these would be tyrants that this contravenes the basic legal premises on which our society is founded - most notably Magna Carta and Habeus Corpus and the English Bill of Rights.)

Despite President Trump’s laudable efforts in negotiating or facilitating peace and not starting wars, that has not stopped the US military from dropping bombs by the tens of thousands. Bombing is big business! The article implies that it is each president who drops the bombs. Obviously sensationalism. But the numbers are staggeringly big with tragic ramifications. I just think of what all those dollars could have bought if invested wisely.

What I cannot fathom is how the trees are so close yet not burnt from the radiant heat of the house fires. I spoke to my brother-in-law last night (30+ years as a fireman) and he estimated a 30 metre/100 foot distance between two inflammable object (trees or house) would be safe enough (depending on wind and assuming no embers) to prevent catching fire from radiant heat.

No way there is 30 metres between these houses and trees.

I don’t fully agree with this. While I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer I don’t feel unintelligent. I have a great deal of certainty on what I know and I also am humble enough to admit when I have no data on something.

I try to speak my truth without being offensive but have no qualms about sharing true data to people who have false data on which they are operating. Most of them are wedded more to their opinion than they are truth so it often does little good but occasionally I make headway. Those times are the pay for the effort. I don’t take a loss where I don’t succeed.

The better off is a person the easier they are to help and the greater the impact from helping them. So part of my job is to help the able become more able.

(Tom: One very smart girl with her head on straight and her heart in the right place. Kudos to her!)

Hello fellow patriots!! I just love you all!!

My name is Lindsey and my story may be a little different. I was at Virginia Tech during the massacre that killed 32, locked in a classroom for six hours. I saw people running for their lives and experienced things I’ll never forget...

I was never political, but after the shooting (mostly due to pressure from family & society) I thought I was for gun reform. I wanted to be a part of the party that stood for “love”... but it’s all an illusion on the other side. Eventually I started to see right through the propaganda.

After tons of research, I now blame big pharma for much of our country’s mental illness and many of these shootings (prescriptions and anti depressants that can change behavior, as well as other pharma products that affect the gut and brain).

I now realize how important it is own a firearm and be properly trained in how to use one... The only reason the government would want to take our guns away is if they’re planning to do something we would shoot them for... so, I now stand for FREEDOM and the right to protect ourselves and our families. And I’ll keep my guns, thanks.

Love to you all! I’ve found my family.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!

Tom
