I am so tired of this shit. Although I don’t consume any mainstream media I can feel the panic and fear - and exhaustion - in the people. Nearly everybody is 100 % sure that there will be mask mandates by September, latest and that there will be a new lockdown and execution of the vaxx mandate in winter. Nice times living in Covidistan… We inmates are allowed to play in fresh air and sun for about 3 months and afterwards we will be incarcerated again. I am too exhausted to keep fighting against this whole thing. I even wear FFP2 in public transport in Vienna just to avoid any conflict…

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear.

If it's any consolation, my parents angrily shot back 'how would you know about this?' when I broke the 'news' to them.

Rikard (I believe) recently asked whether or not more people would emigrate now--which is becoming more of a possibility now, but then again, it's hard to do so the longer one waits.

How else are you holding up?

Don't give in!

Thanks 😊! I will not give in. Deep in my heart I am sure that this whole thing will be done by autumn. No mandates, no C craziness anymore. As we will face REAL problems and our politicians (at least the conservative ones) know that they will earn the people‘s wrath when they keep on playing out the whole C narrative. The fight between the parties seems to get worse.

But on some days it‘s just too much to handle… But I would not leave Austria as I am sure that this is not the solution. Tomorrow another country could turn from Dr Jekyll into Mr Hyde… The conspiracy is global.

I'll tackle the second paragr. first--I agree, the conspiracy is global, and running away wouldn't change a darn thing about it. Also, it would be quite a shame and loss for Covidistan if everone like you would just leave (even though the remainder would provide us with a great case study in insanity run amok).

As to the autumn prognosis: I hope you're right, and I'm somewhat fearful of the 'things that can go wrong' that would render Covid a nuisance of the past: escalation in (beyond) Ukraine, no more Russian energy (despite Kurz' real achievement of fixed-price delivery until 2040), and God knows what else.

I also think that now that Rauch has 'decreed' that natural immunity isn't relevant for the injection mandate, I suspect that protests will resume later in summer as 23 August nears.

We do live in interesting times!

Thanks for your kind words - but THE Regime would not care if a nazi and anti-social creature like me would leave the country 😎😉. Critical thinkers are the new witches… Well no, have always been witches. Therefore they must be burnt.

Hm, I think I disagree with your statement that we live in interesting times. It‘s always been like this, history always repeated and repeats itself. Well okay, interesting difference in this time seems to be that more truth is revealed day by day. There seems to be more light than ever before - and that gives me hope ☺️.

Re the second paragraph: as far as I understand it, this ancient Chinese proverb means something like the opposite, as in: the times are too interesting, it would be better if they weren't.

Yet, I agree: hope dies last, and there seems to be more overriding concerns (see today's post) now…

As for SA, I'd guess that Ivermektin is as common and easily available there as in mnay other nations in Africa, meaning that not only is an effective mitigating medicine against the infection getting worse than a cold available, but also that many will already be taking it as a prohpylactic. Not to mention much cheaper, safer and with far easier logistcs of production, transport and storage, than the injecions.

But then the neo-liberal free trade & market & open boarders caoitalists would have to compete in an open market by plunging funds into base research to develop better product; far easier for a capitalist to buy politics as to corner the market, raise the bar for entry sky-high and outlaw competition.

It is to me, with my academic background in teaching politics and ideas highly amusing to for the last two years see Randians, von Mises & Hayek-worshippers, and Friedmaniacs/Greenspanners line up "No True Scotsman" one after the other to rationalise that it's not 'real' capitalism.

Heard that one before - when swedish communists had to explain away the massmurder to the tune of tens of millions by Mao Tse-Tung and Pol Pot among others. "Oh, but that's not 'real' communism, they have misunderstood and perverted the principles of true communism."

My, how the wurm turns.

Oh, I wouldn't know anything about the drug that must not be named (but there's some information about it being 'kinda ok-ed' in Jan. 2021: https://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/sahpra-approves-ivermectin-controlled-human-use)

Bret Weinstein, Gert Vanden Bossche, and many others are on the record (actually: sounding like a broken one) for I don't know how many months now about Ivermectin, to no avail (yet), I fear.

Re the 'free marketeers' going batshit crazy (pun intended) over this, well, it's been a fake 'theory' from the get-go, hence I don't think this is unexpected. Still, the justifications are moronic, to say the least.

How much longer will this zombie lurch on, do you think?

As long as it's more profitable than any alternative, barring outside intervention (anything from full-scale ethno/religious civil war in western nations to alien invasion to another Chicxulub) upon the avent of which the younger more aggressive and dynamic players will sacrifice the older of their class and caste to the masses and emerge as the Homo Novus saviours of our time (and they might even both mean it and be it too, initially - few things are rotten from the get-go). The best predictive model (in my opinion) for what the most probable (again, my opinion) collapse, slow or rapid would look like and how it would play out re: elites, capital and so on, would be USSR/Russia from 1989 to 1995. Of course, if the West holds together for ay 30-40 years more with the demographic change continuing apace or even accelerating for whatever reason, then the best model would be Europe from AD450 to about AD1066.

Ivermektin is available in Sweden, but only per prescription or for animals and then still under prescription from a vet.

Hmmm, leaving aside the 'dark ages' trope for a moment, I think the Ivermectin situation is similar here in Norway.

There was some 'movement' last summer (see, e.g., here: https://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/debatt/i/VqWan3/vi-maa-ta-debatten-om-ivermectin), but that didn't get traction.

Now, if I'd put on my tinfoil hat for a moment, this piece appeared literally a few moments before Preben Aavitsland infamously bird-pooped 'det var den pandemien' (that was the pandemic) in August 2021.

However this might be, I tend to agree with the above-cited individuals w/respect to wide-spread use of Ivermectin to prevent future waves (but I won't hold my breath).

To quote my history teacher: "The Dark Ages was a concept dreamed up by later writers, pundits and sundry to make themselves and their own timelook all the better."

I meant the time period as in the old central governement rotting away before collapsing into smaller kingdoms along ehtno/religous/linguistic lines, and then gradually seeing the emergence of larger nations centered around landowning bloodlines and their internecine power-struggles understood today as if they were nation-states warring, instead of family squabbles, religious doctrine and dogma, and control of trade and so on.

The Dark Ages (we call them the Middle Ages here, when talking about Europe, and several other names when talking about Scandinavia specifically) is the same misunderstanding as "paleo-diet" or "stone age diet". Which "stone age", and where on the planet? And how is "stone age" defined in the first place?

Large-scale Balkanisation of Europe remains in the top three probabilities, unfortunately.

"I’ll spare you her ‘intellectual’ contortions in the rest of the article, but the enthusiastic hobby immunologist in me wonders about the following issues (and perhaps you, my dear readers, can help me on this one)"

It's very simple. 6/10 vaccinees will never develop immunity to the nucleocapsid (N protein) of SARS-COV-2. This means they will contract Covid (and possibly colds from betacoronavirses like OC43) on a continuous basis for the rest of their lives. Anecdotally, I am well aware this is already happening in people I know.

The criminal scum promoting these deadly gene therapies, and the damned fool sheeple who have taken them en masse, have guaranteed that Covid will never go away. While ever there are a significant number of vaccinees alive, the virus will be ever present.

How long these people WILL survive is up for debate. But with that said, Geert Vanden Bosche has articulated what might happen if you continue to vaccinate children. He has never fully articulated his worst nightmare publicly but I will. Covid does not kill children, because their immune systems aren't developed enough to allow it.

If SARS-COV-2 evolves to try and kill children, it will fail. But it will kill all the adults.

The people pushing this are the worst criminals against humanity of all time, and until we brutally execute them (after a fair trial of course) they won't stop, and others will take their place. The point of brutal, medieval-style execution is to deter anyone from trying this BS ever again. I do not like saying this, but as far as I am concerned it's the only way.

I'm unsure about the 6/10 ratio here. Now, I'm not saying it's implausible (it very much is), so let me ask you this: I recently read, over a Brian Mowrey's Unglossed, that the prevalence (or lack thereof) of N Abs may actually deriv from the slow diffusion of the blood of 'vaccinated' people in blood banks etc.; Brian has mentioned this and documented, using UK blood donor data, that the incidence of N Abs is actually increasing--what do you think of this hypothesis?

As to the darker musings: well, I wouldn't say children aren't afffected because their immune system isn't developed. It is developing naturally, I'd argue, which is to say that uninjected adults would also fall into this category, eh?

Sars-Cov-2 (Omicron) isn't that bad for kids--as far as my two healthy girls and many, many others are concerned--but this may be very different for, say, kids with any number of comorbidities.

As to the consequences for the injected majority, well, what can I say? Here's hoping for the best (even though I wouldn't hold my breath for accountability or even an apology).

And Saint Attila raised the needle up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy needle, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Needle of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Poor people of covidistan ... I feel so sorry for them, so deeply hypnotized... but as Joseph de Maistre once wrote:

Well, what shall I say--there's so much crap going on (forthcoming later this week), but this is staggering.

It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, and I don't claim any special foresight here. It's just that these things were baked into the draft legislation from the start, MPs didn't change it in late January, and here we are.

I do think that 'they' do this bit by bit to avoid major protests to erupt. Better turn up the heat slowly, if steadily, to boil the frog (people).

Not surprised by the long time nazi country... Sory!

When I was 11, many years ago, we had a trip to Austria organized by a German Cultural Center of my town, where we went for a quick course on german language and traditions.

As soon as we arrived in the Hotel at Innsbruck some austrians start saying bad thing about us: italian families with kids, just tourist, a little noisy as we are, but all men in their 40s, mainly bank employers, so... educated people at the time (1972).

The german born teacher responded to them very upset and later at dinner told us what they were saying. My parents and all of the adults commented: sure, what you expect from those Nazi...

It looks they never changed since then...
