“The Real Agenda: Leading Dr. Says Covid ‘Vaccines’ Are Intentionally Designed To Reduce World Population”

“The Real Agenda: Leading Dr. Says Covid ‘Vaccines’
 Are Intentionally Designed To Reduce World Population”
by Ethan Huff

"Dr. Shankara Chetty, a South African family doctor who is credited with improving early treatment for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19), says that the goal of the mass “vaccination” program is to “control and kill off a large proportion of our population without anyone suspecting that we were poisoned.”

In a recent statement, Dr. Chetty explained that the dying process provoked by the injections was designed in such a way as to be untraceable. People will start to get sick from this or that, and the symptoms will be so wide ranging that it will be difficult to definitively peg them on the shots. “The deaths that are meant to follow the vaccinations will never be able to be pinned on the poison,” he said. “They will be too diverse, there will be too many, and they will be in too broad a timeframe for us to understand that we have been poisoned.”

Dr. Chetty claims to have successfully treated more than 7,000 Chinese Virus patients “without a single hospitalization or death.” He is also keenly aware of the government’s censorship campaign against the early treatment protocols he provides to his patients. “I think the perspective around what is happening is vitally important,” Dr. Chetty explained during a Zoom conference call. “We need to understand what the aim is. Everyone knows that there are inconsistencies, that there’s coercion, but we need to understand why. Why is it there?”

Jab spike protein is the “pathogen … causing all the death in covid illness” In Dr. Chetty’s view, there is one thing that appears to be causing all of the deaths attributed to covid, and that thing is the spike protein.

This “pathogen,” as he describes it, is either found in (Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca) or produced by (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) the so-called “vaccines.” And it is this pathogen that will eventually kill off millions, if not billions, of people. “What looks like transpired here [is] they’ve engineered a virus and put this weapons-grade package onto it called ‘spike protein,'” Dr. Chetty further explained.

Only a small number of people experience an immediate “allergic reaction” to the “most elaborately engineered toxin,” he says, usually within the first eight days after the onset of symptoms. The injections, however, extend that allergic reaction “for a longer period.” “We begin to see the endothelial [blood vessel lining] injuries that this vaccine causes with its spike protein, with its influence on its ACE2 receptors,” Dr. Chetty warns. “Those are the deaths that are meant to follow. And they will never be pinned onto the spike protein, a very well-engineered toxin.”

“Now spike protein is also a membrane protein. So, the mRNA will distribute this throughout our body. It will be made in various tissues around our body. It will be incorporated into those membranes around our body, and those specific tissues.”

Because these spike proteins are recognized by the body as foreign invaders, the immune system overreacts in an autoimmune way – meaning it attacks itself. This is where the slow-death process begins. “Now this toxin in the long term is going to get people with pre-existing illness to have those illnesses exasperated,” he warns.

What is worse, these toxins include “bits of HIV protein,” which clearly shows that they were genetically engineered, Dr. Chetty says. People with cancer “are going to have their cancers flare up, and they will say they died of the cancer.” “People with vessel injuries or predisposition like our diabetics and [those with] hypertension are going to have strokes and heart attacks and the rest at varying times, and we’ll attribute those to their preexisting conditions,” he added. “People are going to develop, over time, autoimmune conditions, the diversity of which will never be addressed by any pharmaceutical intervention because they’re far too targeted.”

"How They Plan to Kill BILLIONS With the Common Flu"
by Mike Adams

"Covid vaccines induce “AIDS” immune system failure, opening door to death via common flu strains. Covid vaccines are increasingly recognized as depopulation weapons being deployed against humanity. But the mechanism of how they work is only now becoming clear.

The ‘gain-of-function’ researchers who built this bioweapon, all criminals against humanity, didn’t want it to kill people too quickly because that would be noticed right away. So they needed a mechanism that would allow the spike protein injections to kill people slowly, in a way that could be blamed on something else.

Their answer was vaccine-induced, immune system suppression. It’s not really a “vaccine,” of course, and we use that term in protest. It’s actually a gene altering mRNA injection that programs human cells to produce non-human proteins which are pathogenic bioweapons that cause vascular, neurological and reproductive damage. In addition to causing severe vascular damage throughout the body - as confirmed in a recently published Circulation journal paper - these spike proteins destroy innate immune response, which is exactly why the mRNA vaccines are now failing at an accelerating rate.

From the conclusion of that science paper published in Circulation “we conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.”

In other words, the mRNA vaccines cause widespread vascular inflammation, leading to death via heart attacks, blood clots, strokes and so on.  Governments claim vaccines work really well if you haven’t taken them yet, but the minute you take them, you’re told they don’t work, so you need a booster

This puts the governments of the world in the position of trying to convince unvaccinated people that covid vaccines work really well and should be taken by everyone… while at the same time telling vaccinated people that the injections they took don’t work and therefore they need a never-ending series of booster shots. [It’s pretty bloody obvious so why can’t the sheeple see this?]

Even the fact that booster shots are now being required every 3 months in the UK is a clear admission that booster shots stop working in about 3 months. Otherwise, why would you need new ones?  The real answer behind the 3-month booster repetition is that covid vaccines obliterate the immune system and render people absolutely helpless in mounting an immune response against pathogens.

“UK data shows the vaccines are NOT saving any lives at all writes Steve Kirsch via Substack.com. “Mathew Crawford just did an analysis showing that the [official] data from the UK shows that the vaccines aren’t saving any lives at all. Zero. Zip. Nada.  So we’re killing over 150K people to save no lives. Wow.” Once immunocompromised, it only takes a mild flu to kill

Importantly, the immune suppression effects apply to non-covid pathogens, too. So a person injected with the mRNA gene therapy shots will have compromised immunity against common flu strains as well.  In essence, they have been turned into vaccine-induced “AIDS” patients with collapsing immunity against everything. And that makes them highly vulnerable to a deliberate release of a moderate flu strain [Omicron anyone?] that would normally kill only the frail and elderly but when released against the backdrop of vaccine-induced immune suppression, it could kill hundreds of millions of vaccinated people worldwide.  Depopulation agenda achieved. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

And as the people are dying off around the world, the media will blame the unvaccinated as their final act of betrayal against humanity. They will say that more people need to take vaccines in order to stop the mass death. Anyone gullible enough to take the shots, of course, will join the dying masses into an early grave.

Why did globalists choose this route?  This is because they didn’t want to “nuke” the planet with a truly vicious pathogen that would threaten their own children in the long run. They want to keep the really dangerous pathogens in the freezer while figuring out how to kill people with mild pathogens.

Only by convincing the gullible masses to line up for mRNA spike protein injections could they pull this off. And only by spreading mass hysteria via the controlled corporate media could they panic enough people into the “vaccine” injections.

Coordinated fear -> Injections -> Immune suppression -> Mild infections -> Mass death

Now you know the real depopulation agenda and how it works. The good news is that if you said NO to the vaccine, you cannot be easily killed by this scheme. Those who comply will die, but those who resist will survive."
"Everyone Vaccinated For Covid Will DIE, 
Warns French Virologist" (Excerpt)

"There is no chance of long-term survival for anyone who received a Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) injection, according to leading French virologist Luc Montagnier. Everyone who is getting jabbed for the Chinese Virus will die, he reportedly stated during a recent interview, which you can watch at Brighteon.com.

“There is no hope and no possible treatment for those who have already been vaccinated,” Montagnier stated plainly during the segment. “We must be prepared to cremate the bodies.” After studying at length the ingredients contained in the injections and what they do, Montagnier came to the conclusion that every single person who gets the shot will eventually die from antibody-dependent enhancement, or ADE. “That is all that can be said,” he added."

"Biden’s 'Big O'”

"Biden’s 'Big O'”
by Simon Black

"In 1894, a retired university professor named Paul Bachman was living out his golden years in Weimar, Germany. Recently divorced, Bachman filled his days writing books, including what would become a five volume series… about analytical number theory. It wasn’t exactly a James Bond novel; number theorists study things like prime numbers, infinity, and the fundamental properties of arithmetic.

Here’s a simple number theory example to give you a basic idea: prove that the sum of the first n integers (i.e. 1+2+3+4 . . . + n) is equal to (n2 + n)/2.

Number theory is full of seemingly elementary concepts which can turn out to be incredibly vexing… and much more complex than they initially appear. And the field has been applied widely in modern technology. Bachman’s 1894 book (which had a spectacularly long German name) introduced an important concept in analytical number theory, something that eventually became known as “Big O notation”. In simple terms, Bachman’s “Big O” is used to describe certain functions whose output is limited, even when the inputs grow to infinity.

Big O is an important concept in computer science. Coders classify the efficiency of their algorithms using Big O notation. Google, for example, pays very close attention to the Big O efficiency of their search algorithms; a more efficient algorithm means faster search results and less computing power. And there are a range of other applications as well.

Anyone who has studied math and physics knows scientists’ predilection for using Greek letters. Pi in geometry, sigma as a summation operator, etc. In 1976, a Stanford professor named Donald Knuth published a work giving Big O notation its own Greek letter. And you can probably guess which one– omicron.

This is a bit ironic given that the World Health Organization recently dubbed the newest variant of Covid-1984 as omicron. It’s like it’s March 2020 all over again; public health officials are already locking down their borders and restricting travel, and the media is swooning over every new omicron case around the world. Most importantly, governments and central banks are standing by ready to shovel massive, steaming piles of stimulus into their economies.

And this is the part that I find so ironic. Remember, in mathematics, omicron (or Big O) describes functions where the output is limited, even when the input is infinite. That’s pretty much the case with all of this stimulus. For these politicians and central bankers, their willingness to print and spend money is without limit; in other words, the stimulus ‘input’ is practically infinite. But the output is proving to be extremely limited. The more money they print, and the more stimulus they sprinkle around the economy, the less impact it has.

Economists call this diminishing returns. The idea is that every additional dollar, euro, yen, or renminbi you dump into your economy has a smaller impact than the previous one. And given the rampant inflation they’ve created, it’s pretty clear that the impact of their stimulus has become negative.

We’ve talked about this before– economies prosper when people are easily able to work hard and produce. And economies grow when more goods and services are being produced. These politicians and central bankers, on the other hand, are making it more difficult for people to work hard and produce.

Their public health regulations have already shuttered countless businesses. They’ve terrified people into not wanting to leave the house. They’ve created absurd incentives for people to stay home, to the point that many businesses who survived COVID are really struggling to find labor.

They’ve passed ridiculously anti-competitive legislation and regulations– labor policy, taxes, environmental rules, etc. They’ve ordered private businesses to fire tens of millions of people whose only transgression is exercising personal choice. So, rather than setting economic conditions for workers and businesses to be highly productive, they’re doing the opposite and making it more difficult for people to work.

They also seem to think they can paper over this problem by printing money. But this is deeply flawed thinking; dumping trillions of dollars into the economy doesn’t actually produce anything. The end result of all of this is inflation… and supply chain bottlenecks. All of their money printing has stimulated demand. But with businesses and workers not able to produce as much, there’s now more money in the system demanding fewer goods and services. At the same time, there are fewer workers– truck drivers, forklift operators, etc. available to move resources.

And public health orders around the world have compounded this problem, making it more difficult for overseas manufacturers to produce and transport goods. This is why there’s a supply chain bottleneck… and why prices are soaring– infinite input, limited output. Omicron.

But here’s what’s really crazy, if you want to think a little bit about the future: Within the next three years, an incredible 51% of the US national debt is going to mature. Given that the federal government is planning multi-trillion dollar deficits until the end of time, there’s no way they’re going to be able to repay that debt. So how will they deal with it? Simple. The Federal Reserve is going to have to print more money… trillions of dollars more. And that’s on top of the trillions of dollars they’re going to print over the next few years to pay for all of these new social programs… plus whatever omicron bailout the government comes up with.

It’s truly mind boggling how much money the Fed is going to have to print. And when we see how disastrous the effects have been thus far, coupled with anti-competitive, anti-productive regulations, there’s no telling how high inflation could soar.

Don’t worry, though, Hunter Biden’s dad is on the case. That’s why he reappointed the current head of the Federal Reserve to a new term… so the chief central banker who helped engineer the worst inflation in three decades gets to keep his job. Clearly, tackling inflation is this administration’s top priority. And that’s why he summoned the heads of big businesses to a meeting at the White House to demand that they keep prices low and have store shelves fully stocked for Christmas. Because that’s the way you solve the inflation and supply chain problems: issuing more commandments.

One Congresswoman actually sent Hunter Biden’s dad a letter urging him to appoint a Supply Chain Czar. It’s extraordinary. All these people know how to do is create a highly centralized bureaucracy. Make demands. Appoint a Czar. Give the government more power over the economy, even though everything they’re doing is a total failure. Once again, that’s omicron. Infinite input. Limited output."

"Container Shortage Triggers Freight Rate Spike Of 
300 Percent As Port Congestion Worsens Worldwide"
by Epic Economist

"Freight rates have fallen slightly in October, making some believe that the worst of the shipping crisis was over. Unfortunately, that hopeful perception didn't last more than a couple of weeks because last week freight rates rapidly spiked to a new record high. In less than 7 days, the benchmark Baltic Dry Index, which measures the movement of the global dry bulk commodities and also shipping prices, shot up by over 16 percent due to the introduction of new restrictions on the movement of ships worldwide as a precaution to prevent the spread of the new virus strain.

The almost $9,000 increase in the Baltic Dry index signals a rapid change in shipping industry fundamentals brought on by strict measures at ports in China, rigorous surveillance imposed by the government of India, and similar measures adopted by several governments across the globe, including the European Union. The tightening vessel capacity we are currently seeing globally is adding even more pressure on soaring freight rates. According to VesselsValue in its 2021 Port Congestion Report, in November, Asia-U.S. shipping rates reached a staggering $130,000 per day, over a 400% increase compared to this time last year.

In America, as opposed to what the government has been suggesting in recent weeks, ports are still extremely clogged, especially in California. Just yesterday, the number of container ships stuck outside the port of Los Angeles has reached a new record of 111, breaking the previous record of 108 vessels a month ago. Last month, fines started to be imposed on the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, with companies having to pay $100 a day for every container left on the docks. After a container arrives, companies have three days to move it if the next step is by rail, or nine days if the next step is by truck. However, industry specialists say these fees will do little to help ease the port jams.

"The issue isn't about a lack of desire to move boxes, but a lack of physical space," explained Corey Bertsch, VP Solutions Consulting at Slync.io, a global logistics company. According to data released by American Shipper, at the end of November, there were almost 60,000 containers on these ports that had been there for more than nine days and would be eligible for fines. But as Bertsch highlighted, those fines will simply be passed on to the end consumer, compounding inflationary pressures that have already been pushing the price of everything to sky-highs.

Now, even large corporations that would typically be safe from sudden inflation upswings are warning that they cannot fight with such persistent inflationary pressures. In an interview with CNBC, Siemens Energy CEO Christian Bruch, alerted that the industrial world is going to be dealing with higher prices and supply shortages for much longer than expected. "It is going to be way into 2022 and honestly, my belief is managing the supply chain will be something which will be with us for a long time," he said. Unilever CEO Alan Jope, also sounded the alarm, saying that the company was witnessing "once in two-decade inflationary pressure". "We are seeing commodity inflation across really every type of input cost that we have - agricultural commodities, petrochemical commodities, paper and board, transport, logistics, energy, labor -- all are moving in an upward direction," he said.

Last month, the UN warned that surging freight rates would be translated into higher prices for consumers early in 2022, with the global import price levels set to increase by 11 percent. “Global consumer prices will rise significantly in the year ahead until shipping supply chain disruptions are unblocked and port constraints and terminal inefficiencies are tackled,” Unctad said in its Review of Maritime Transport 2021 report. To make things worse, hikes in oil prices, geopolitical conflicts, the worsening health crisis, and broken supply chains "have come together to create a potentially devastating scenario for the global food system," a panel on food security heard.

“These have created a perfect storm for global food collapse”, stressed Fan Shenggen, chair of the academy of global food economics and policy at China Agricultural University. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s monthly food price index, global food prices skyrocketed nearly 33 percent last year and the latest Goldman Sachs report forecasts that food inflation will likely get worse before it gets better. We're entering some exceedingly difficult times. Sadly, the problems we're facing today are only going to be aggravated in the coming months. We're on the verge of another dark winter, and as our system persistently collapses all around us, we're going to have even more turbulence and chaos awaiting us."

"The Long Cycles Have All Turned: Look Out Below"

"The Long Cycles Have All Turned: Look Out Below"
by Charles Hugh Smith

"Long cycles operate at such a glacial pace they're easily dismissed as either figments of fevered imagination or this time it's different. But since Nature and human nature remain stubbornly grounded by the same old dynamics, cycles eventually turn and the world changes dramatically. Nobody thinks the cyclical turn is possible until it's already well underway.

Multiple long cycles are turning in unison:

1. The cycle of interest rates: down for 40+ years (last turn, 1981), now up for an unknown but consequential period of time.
2. The cycle of inflation/deflation: the 40-year period of low real-world inflation and rip-roaring speculative debt-asset inflation has ended and now an era of scarcity, real-world inflation and speculative debt-asset deflation begins.
3. The cycle of capital-labor balance: capital has dominated labor for 40+ years, siphoning $50 trillion from labor. This cycle has now turned and the rebalancing is underway: it's capital's turn to surrender gains and power.
4. The cycle of social order-disorder: as documented by historian Peter Turchin and others, social order (in Turchin's phrase, the integrative phase) holds sway for about 50 years and then it gives way to an era of social disorder (the disintegrative phase). This phase doesn't end with mild reforms nobody even notices, it ends with a rebalancing of social, political and economic power.

Ages of Discord:
5. The cycle of wealth/power inequality: wealth - and the political power it buys - becomes increasingly concentrated in the hands of the few at the expense of the many. This feeds economic and political dysfunction and exploitation that must be remedied by reducing extremes of wealth-power inequality.
6. The cycle of speculative excess: those in power protect their wealth and the wealth of their cronies by instituting moral hazard, the disconnect of risk and consequence: the central state and central bank backstop and bail out the most egregious big speculators, who keep all their gains and transfer their losses to the public.

The public concludes the only way to get ahead in such a rigged financial system is to belly up to the gaming tables and gamble that the next bubble will never pop because those in power won't ever let it pop. But alas, humans do not possess god-like powers, they only possess hubris, and so all bubbles pop: the more extreme the bubble, the more devastating the pop. The faint cries that fade to silence are: but this time it's different! and the Fed will save us! That's not how cycles work: all the god-like powers are revealed as hubris, which arouses the fatal ire of Nemesis."

"The United States Gets Even Closer To War With Both Russia And China"

"The United States Gets Even Closer To
 War With Both Russia And China"
by Michael Snyder

"While most of the U.S. population is distracted by other matters, the Biden administration continues to march us even closer to war with both Russia and China. It is understandable that so much attention is being given to the craziness surrounding the COVID pandemic, our very serious economic problems and the growing violence in our streets, but ultimately our deteriorating relationships with Russia and China will become even bigger news than any of those stories. If we stay on the path that we are currently on, there will inevitably be war with Russia and there will inevitably be war with China. I do not believe that either of those conflicts will erupt this week or this month, but thanks to the recklessness of the Biden administration we are relentlessly moving toward war. So even though most of my articles address concerns that are of a more immediate nature, I am going to keep my readers periodically updated on these developments, because this is a story that isn’t going to go away.

On Tuesday, Vladimir Putin warned the United States and NATO not to deploy troops or missiles in Ukraine…"Russian President Vladimir Putin warned NATO and the US Tuesday that any deployment of troops or missiles in Ukraine would cross a “red line” and prompt a military response. “The emergence of such threats represents a ‘red line’ for us,” the Russian leader said. “I hope that it will not get to that and common sense and responsibility for their own countries and the global community will eventually prevail.”

Of course this is not the first time Putin has issued such a warning. For months, the Russians have been making it clear that they will not tolerate western forces in Ukraine. The Russians are particularly concerned about missiles, because a missile launched from Ukraine could potentially hit Moscow in five minutes.

It is kind of like the Cuban missile crisis in reverse. For good reason, the U.S. didn’t want Russian missiles in Cuba because of the close proximity. Similarly, the Russians don’t want western missiles right on their doorstep.

Unfortunately, instead of defusing the situation we continue to see NATO sending more “military hardware” into Ukraine in order to stop a potential “Russian invasion”…"Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused NATO on Tuesday of deploying a significant amount of military hardware near Russia’s borders and said Moscow could respond to security threats from Western countries and Ukraine if necessary. U.S., NATO and Ukrainian officials have raised the alarm in recent weeks over what they say are unusual Russian troop movements near the border with Ukraine, and have suggested that Moscow might be preparing to launch an attack. Moscow has denied any plans to do so."

Most Americans don’t realize this, but this is a tinderbox that could literally explode at any time. Meanwhile, the Russians continue to prepare for a future global conflict. A few weeks ago, Putin announced that testing of Russia’s new hypersonic missiles was almost done…"Earlier in November, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that tests of the Zircon hypersonic missiles are almost completed. Vladimir Putin said that the hypersonic weapon with maximum speed of Mach 9 will appear in Russia in the near future. These missiles can move at unimaginable speeds, and the U.S. has absolutely no way to defend against them."

Even more alarming, Putin is saying that Russia will be deploying “sea-based” hypersonic missiles early next year…"Speaking to gathered experts, Putin called the development of high-speed missiles as a “necessary” response to “Western actions.” “We have already successfully conducted tests, and from the beginning of the year we will have in service a sea-based hypersonic missile of Mach 9,” Putin said."

Russia’s “black hole submarines” are so quiet that they can literally sneak up to our coastlines without anyone ever detecting them. So imagine a scenario where a whole bunch of them suddenly surface just off our coastlines and launch hypersonic missiles which start hitting our coastal cities within just moments.

By the way, China has also developed a very alarming new hypersonic weapon system…"A senior U.S. Space Force officer has stressed that China’s new hypersonic weapon system is indeed orbital in nature and could be able to stay in space for an extended period of time. This is the latest piece of official information about this novel system that reportedly uses some kind of hypersonic glider, which may be capable of launching its own projectiles to actually execute a strike."

At this point, both Russia and China are miles ahead of us when it comes to developing hypersonic weapons. But at least the U.S. military has them both beat when it comes to conducting diversity seminars.

As bad as things are with Russia, I actually believe that war with China is even closer. Taiwan is the primary source of contention between the Chinese and the Biden administration, and things just continue to get even more tense. In fact, China just sent “about 150 aircraft” into Taiwanese airspace over a recent four day period…"The past few days have been busy in airspace off Taiwan’s southern coast, in what’s been a steady uptick of such threatening flights. “Over the past year, the frequency of Chinese incursions has increased, with about 150 aircraft over a period of four days,” The Associated Press tallied by the close of Sunday. This could mark a new record set over a four-day time period, given the first week of October say 145 PLA aircraft within the same window, a prior record. The actions had corresponded with China’s 72nd annual National Day."

I am entirely convinced that the Chinese will pull the trigger on an invasion of Taiwan at some point. When that occurs, the U.S. and China will instantly be in a state of war. But most Americans don’t really care about any of this. Most Americans will just keep their heads stuck in the sand as the world continues to go mad all around them. Unfortunately, when they do finally wake up it will be way too late to reverse course."

"Noticing Synchronicity: Interconnected Experiences"

"Noticing Synchronicity: Interconnected Experiences"
by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM

"Things happen in our lives for a reason, even if that reason is not clear to you right away. When events appear to fit together perfectly in our lives it may seem at first that they are random occurrences, things that are the result of coincidence. These synchronous happenings, though, are much more than that, for, if we look at them more closely they can show us that the universe is listening to us and gently communicating with us. Learning to pay attention to and link the things that occur on a daily basis can be a way for us to become more attuned to the fact that most everything happens in our lives for a reason – even when that reason is not clear right away.

When we realize that things often go more smoothly than we can ever imagine, it allows us to take the time to reflect on the patterns in our lives. Even events that might not at first seem to be related to each other are indicators that the universe is working with, not against, us. This idea of synchronicity, then, means that we have to trust there is more to our lives than what we experience on a physical level. We need to be willing to look more closely at the bigger picture, accepting and having confidence in the fact that there is more to our experiences than immediately meets the eye. Being open to synchronicity also means that we have to understand that our lives are filled with both positive and negative events. Once we can recognize that one event is neither more desirable nor better than the other – they all have an overall purpose in our lives -- then we are truly ready to listen to the messages the universe gives us.

While we may not be able to see everything in our lives as being synchronous, we can certainly use hindsight to be more aware of how the universe guides us. This sense of wonder at the mysteries of the universe and the interconnectedness present in our lives will help us see our overall ways of being and will in turn make it easier to work more consciously towards our spiritual evolution."

"Trust me, I know what I’m doing."
– ­Inspector Sledge Hammer, 1980’s TV show

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – "Oh My Cron? OH-mee-cron? Or something like that. President Biden sees it as such a big thing, he scheduled an address to the nation. Of course, POTUS knows nothing more about the omicron COVID variant than the rest of us. Still, he urged all Americans to get a booster shot. Is he practicing medicine without a license? Who knows? Here at the Diary, the hardest decision we make each morning is choosing what to laugh at first.

Quick Movers: Meanwhile, some slick hustlers moved fast to capitalize on the omicron craze. Yes, you guessed it… they rushed out an Omicron crypto coin. No kidding. What market did it serve? What product or service did it offer? Why the hell would anyone want to buy it?

We have no idea, other than that the word “omicron” came to be very much used over the weekend. Here’s Mark Gongloff at Bloomberg: "A crypto thing called Omicron has soared more than 900% since Saturday because there is now also a Covid variant called omicron. That’s it. That’s the reason. Omicron the Crypto Thing is, in the words of CoinTelegraph, “a recently introduced decentralized reserve currency protocol that runs on the Ethereum layer-two network Arbitrum. Its native OMIC token is backed by several other crypto assets including the USD Coin stablecoin and liquidity provider tokens. It can only be traded on the SushiSwap decentralized exchange.”

Clear as mud…

Here’s Gongloff’s colleague, Matt Levine, with more gibberish: "Omicron is a clone of OlympusDAO, a fascinating decentralized-finance Ponzi scheme that we’ll probably have to talk about around here one day, but that’s not why it’s up. It’s up because it is a tradable claim with the word “omicron” in its name, and the word “omicron” is up. You just have to unfocus your eyes and not think too hard about it. Omicron, omicron, get it?"

Distract and Conquer: In South Africa, where the variant first made landfall, health officials say omicron, the virus, is no big deal. It produces “mild” symptoms, they say. But hey… there’s one born every minute. Some become crypto gamblers. Others become presidents of the USA.

Besides… this is a good time for distractions. Inflation is getting worse… Stocks are falling… Congress is again bumping into a debt ceiling… Gasoline is 60% higher than a year ago… Supplies of oil, gas, and electricity are becoming more fragile…and winter is coming. USA Today adds:

"Who imagined that COVID-19 would continue to ravage us and that we would also have record-high inflation, sky-high gas and food prices, and our fellow Americans left behind in Afghanistan? Who could have seen that the No. 1 enemy of the Justice Department in 2021 would be parents worried about what their children were taught in school? Who thought that our southern border would be effectively open and that the supply chain crisis would be so dire, children’s Christmas gifts are at risk?"

When you are out of office, tell the voters that things are getting worse. But when you are in office, let them think that Heaven on Earth is just around the corner. If we were president, we know what we’d say: Inflation? No problem; it’s transitory. Debt ceiling? Don’t worry, we’ve got a plan. New variant? Under control. And winter? Who could have seen that coming?!

Special Precautions: Viruses, like cryptos, replicate. And then, they tend to lose their puissance. They are living things. They “want” to spread out… to reproduce. And they do it best by infecting people, but not killing them… at least, not until they’ve had a chance to spread to others. But you never know. Most of the deaths – whether from COVID-19 or the flu – are probably “accidental,” or collateral damage, from the virus’s point of view. Their hosts just couldn’t handle the load. And you might be one of them.

So, if you don’t want to risk getting a virus, the way to do it is easy – never leave your home… and never permit any visitors, not even from pets. Few humans want to live that way. Instead, they take their chances. They drive fast, eat mushrooms, and enjoy one-night-stands without asking vaccination status… and go see doctors and priests to help them through their moments of doubt and pain.

And as they get older, they become more vulnerable, so they take special precautions. They move more slowly, for fear of falling. They drive more carefully, aware that their reactions are not as swift as they once were. They get their shots. And they die.

Tried and True: Here at the Diary, we have no problem with any of that. Amor fati. Do fools get separated from their money? Do old people die? Do the leaves turn color in the autumn and politicians lie all year round? We are serene about the way the world works. But we prefer truth to lies, beauty to ugliness, and courage to cowardice. And when the leaves turn and the chilly winds blow, we prefer looking out on a few cords of dry firewood, rather than trusting the Department of Energy to make sure we stay warm.

For our money, we’ll stick to the old tried-and-true. And as to medical advice, we’ll talk to our doctor."

"No Smooth Road..."

"Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere
of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps,
till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself."
- W. C. Doane

The Poet: Wendell Berry, "The Circles Of Our Lives"

"The Circles Of Our Lives"

"Within the circles of our lives
we dance the circles of the years,
the circles of the seasons
within the circles of the years,
the cycles of the moon,
within the circles of the seasons,
the circles of our reasons
within the cycles of the moon.

Again, again we come and go,
changed, changing. Hands
join, unjoin in love and fear,
grief and joy. The circles turn,
each giving into each, into all.

Only music keeps us here,
each by all the others held.
In the hold of hands and eyes
we turn in pairs, that joining
joining each to all again.
And then we turn aside, alone,
out of the sunlight gone
into the darker circles of return,
Within the circles of our lives..."

- Wendell Berry
“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust,
swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of Infinity.
Life is Eternal.
We have stopped for a moment to encounter 
each other, to meet, to love, to share.
This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in Eternity.”

- Paulo Coelho
"We all know that something is eternal. And it ain't houses and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't even the stars... Everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five thousand years and yet you'd be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There's something way down deep that's eternal about every human being."
- Thornton Wilder

"Effort and Understanding: Having It Easy"

"Effort and Understanding: Having It Easy"
by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM

"When we view the lives of others and think they have it easy, we are not seeing the whole of their life or the story they are presenting. Our lives are an exercise in facing challenges. We dream the grandest of dreams as youngsters only to discover that we must cultivate copious inner strength and determination in order to meet our goals. Our hard work does not always yield the results we expect. And it is when we find ourselves frustrated by the trials we face or unable to meet our own expectations that we are most apt to take notice of those individuals who appear to accomplish great feats effortlessly. Some people’s lives seem to magically fall into place. We can see the blessings they have received, the ease with which they have attained their desires, their unwavering confidence, and their wealth. But, because we can never see the story of their lives as a whole, it is important that we refrain from passing judgment or becoming envious.

Throughout our lives, we glimpse only the outer hull of others’ life experiences, so it’s tempting to presuppose that the abundance they enjoy is the result of luck rather than diligent effort. In a small number of cases, our assumptions may mirror reality. But very few people “have it easy.” Everyone must overcome difficulties and everyone has been granted a distinctive set of talents with which to do so. An individual who is highly gifted may nonetheless have to practice industriously and correct themselves repeatedly in order to cultivate their talents. Their myriad accomplishments are more likely than not the result of ongoing hard work and sacrifice. You, no doubt, have natural abilities that you have nurtured and your gifts may be the very reason you strive as tirelessly as you do. Yet others see only the outcome of your efforts and not the efforts themselves

Our intellects, our hearts, and our souls are constantly being tested by the universe. Life will create new challenges for you to face each time you prove yourself capable of overcoming the challenges of the past. What you deem difficult will always differ from that which others deem difficult. The tests you will be given will be as unique as you are. If you focus on doing the best you can and making use of the blessings you have been granted, the outcome of your efforts will be a joyous reflection of your dedication."

The Universe

“There are no accidents. If it's appeared on your life radar, this is why: to teach you that dreams come true; to reveal that you have the power to fix what's broken and heal what hurts; to catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses; and to lift the veils that have kept you from seeing that you're already the person you dreamed you'd become. There are no accidents. And believe me, that was one heck of a dream.”
“Tallyho,”

"A Look to the Heavens"

"Who knows what evil lurks in the eyes of galaxies? The Hubble knows -- or in the case of spiral galaxy M64 - is helping to find out. Messier 64, also known as the Evil Eye or Sleeping Beauty Galaxy, may seem to have evil in its eye because all of its stars rotate in the same direction as the interstellar gas in the galaxy's central region, but in the opposite direction in the outer regions. Captured here in great detail by the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, enormous dust clouds obscure the near-side of M64's central region, which are laced with the telltale reddish glow of hydrogen associated with star formation. 
M64 lies about 17 million light years away, meaning that the light we see from it today left when the last common ancestor between humans and chimpanzees roamed the Earth. The dusty eye and bizarre rotation are likely the result of a billion-year-old merger of two different galaxies."
