You write well, thank you for sharing that. My mom caught the flu at the very start of the year early Jan 2020. They were calling it Influenza A at that time. My brother got it as well and his test also claimed it was Influenza A. Influenza A was here before Covid and killed slightly over 10000 US citizens a MONTH until April 4th 2020 when the CDC stopped counting it as "flu season was suppose to be over". Influenza A deaths then dropped to zero overnight....Covid of course was skyrocketing. Identical symptoms. Interesting.

Because my mom was in Hospice for other things, and being 99 years old with a DNR, they didn't put her on a respirator, although she was wheezing, hacking and coughing and barely breathing for days. It looked like it was checkout time, but she pulled out. Eventually dieing of a bunch of other things, none related to the flu or covid. My boy works in the Covid ward of the hospital, he knows its a real thing and I would not intimate otherwise, especially to him, but there is an element of horseshittery with it.

Like you, I saw more suspicious things go on with the news in the last 4 years than I can recount. It's made me damned suspicious of all news sources now, but especially any from Jewish sources. Do you not find it interesting that the Ukrainian Scandal, where all of the major players are of the Hebraic persuasion: Alexander Vindman- jewish, both current and former US ambassadors- jewish, Burisma- Jewish, and all of the other jewish players who made 2 billion dollars of US taxpayer money disappear and when Trump tried to start a process to claw some of it back they all but locked him up and turned all of the normies on to Trump via lies in the media. BTW, I like jewish folks, I've worked for and side by side with many, have some jewish friends still - so no rancor from me about "Da jews" like some of these folks on Saidit and Poal, but that doesn't mean I want to be preyed on by anyone and when they catch people doing it they should be prosecuted.

Stunning. Absofuckinglutly mind blowingly stunning what's been occuring. I don't know about food Crisis, but thank you for the heads up. Being of the prepper persuasion I have a good 6-8 months built up of stores and have started terraforming the local greenspaces and parks with edible food. Anyway, best to you sir!

You've inspired an idea, that I simply can't believe hadn't occurred to me: Make a sub for A+++ CRITICAL CONTENT of concise, well produced, easily comprehended, contextual understanding for the normie sheeple, or on rare occasions longer important documentaries. (Over reading I prefer to listen and occasionally peek at videos played 2x speed (or more) with hands and eyes free for other things.)

Of course, also needed is a second sub for A++ DEEP CONTENT of critically important content that goes far above "good", "great", and even "excellent" to the level of "exceptional". I leave it to the team to decide how they define exceptional, but I'll suggest it be like A+++ but lacking one/some of the criteria: concise, well produced (glossy), easily comprehended, and/or contextual understanding.

In addition to my outdated pre-2020 Truther Newbie Crash Course it seems I need a Critical Skeptics Crash Course with just the most important stuff.

Off the top of my head, these seem most critical and a good start:

Excellent list! Corbett has some unparalled documentaries. For somebody with his budget, he's light years ahead of the competition.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (1 child)

I just shared this list with videos on a drive with a neighbour. He's loving it, despite it being doom-porn. I got him woke this summer, but now seeing it all verifiable in detail blows his mind - with so much more still available by Corbett. I just don't know how he's so prolific.

Do you mind me asking where "here" is? I don't mean to pry, but I wonder if Windsor, Ontario, Canada might have Influenza A problems and/or maybe calling everything COVID but the kitchen sink.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, especially in such informative, clear, and rational detail.

The horseshittery is huge. The hysteria, hyper overreaction, and lockdown are bullshit. Unless a miracle occurs so I may X-ray vision through vast mountains of bullshit to the truth from every angle, I will never deny or confirm legitimacy of a COVID threat. In /s/Coronavirus, among countless others (likely most I haven't seen), I've shared an abundance of information from all angles possible. It's my opinion that this may be just another harsher corona flu, along with the potential of several parallel bio-weapon covert operations, along with the obvious countless artificially numbers of false positives and co-morbidities - all statistically manipulated and blamed on COVID-19.

That said, do you and your boy believe the flu and COVID are one and the same, or different illnesses?

Yes, most Jews are just sheeple too, brainwashed like everyone else, and they are not the problem. I too have had Jewish girlfriends, family, friends, bosses, coworkers, etc. Most Jewish leaders are tribalist scum - just like most other "leaders" of all persuasions.

Zionism is a monstrous problem, and while Jews are more prevalent at the top there are actually more Christian Zionists in their evil matrix of rigged systems, whether they know it or not. I don't know about that Ukranian Scandal nor researched it to speak on it, but it does not surprise me. The layers of scams pile up the higher you get with globalized power. IMO the corporate media's version of Russiagate is 100% bullshit, yet both Hillary and Trump and every other dual-national, billionaire, and globalist are well connected to the Jewish Russian "Red Mafiya", as well as directly to the apartheid state of Israel, a corrupt mafia like ALL governments, but with bonus unaccountability.

@JasonCarswell To answer your questions: 1st) I'm located in the Pacific Northwest, USA. 2nd) I haven't discussed this with the kid if Covid and Influenza A are the same. To me, they clearly are clearly counting the flu strain deaths as Covid deaths.

Here is something I didn't know. Last time the pup was here he told me that the flu shot you could have gotten last year was to address 4 different flus. One of which (this is the interesting part) was the flu of 1918 that was the worst worldwide pandemic ever. Turns out that H1N1 strain of flu is what they call that these days, it never went away - we just adjusted to it. The flu shot addressed that and 3 other flu's. I looked it up and he was correct per the CDC https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-pandemic-h1n1.html

I will likely get the Covid shot as my boy recommends it and he got his first one back in December. I have never received a flu shot in my life (unless they snuck one in when I went in the military and they gave me a crap load of shots all at once before I deployed overseas). Whereas my mother had received EVERY seasonal flu shot EVERY year stretching back to the 60's, 50-60 years. Then about 3 years back she stopped getting them as it was too much trouble to get into the doctors office. It didn't seem to bother her health in any regards - her mental facilities were top notch and sharp right up to the time she passed.

Remember that when speaking "truth to power", it is the willow that survives the typhoon. The mighty Oak snaps from the force, but the willow gently bends and survives. The Germans tried to be Oaks, and they were utterly destroyed and reviled to this day for the effort. Meme's are being a willow and yours are fucking excellent! Not a skill that I have, you clearly do. Take care of yourself Fren.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I can't say if flu shots were ever effective. There have been a lot of questions raised regarding this in the last year. Before that folks were pointing countless problems with the so-called solutions of the past, from polio and beyond. Many of these solutions could easily also simply be attributed to better nutrient and/or hygiene developments.

If you must get the shot, my advice: research the contents, the bad cases, the source, the chain of custody, etc.

I agree, we need to be flexible on most things.

I'd disagree regarding the Germans. Regardless of their philosophies, behavior, or leadership, they were the underdogs targeted for being critical to controlling Europe, and thus Eurasia to dominate the entire world. The irony is that the Germans, as center of Europe, despite propaganda claiming otherwise, could never conquer the world already dominated by the Anglosphere. I'd say most of common German history is bullshit and political theater to obscure the levers of power, their motives, their actions, and their plans.

I aim to evolve my meme-making into something more memeingful. Stay 'tooned for AnimMemes.

Jason, I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart dude. You have no idea how much I empathize with you (or maybe you do); I honestly don’t know what to say other than if you need someone to vent to, I’m here.

I’m sorry for your loss Jason, and I like your fathers saying.. from everything you said here, your father reminds me of mine.. I’m so sorry things happened this way..

Your compassion is always most welcomed. I suspect you're alluding to some of our communications, which I consider very incomplete. I admit that I'm a very limited human, incapable of reading, hearing, and watching everything - including everything on SaidIt and the now nearly 700 messages I should really get to - all while trying to save the world! Like my extreeeeemly neglected email, many of those messages were either important or long, read and unread, so I'd either procrastinate until I could devote my full attention or simply answer the easy ones first. This weighs heavy, but obviously not enough to prevent me from trying to keep up with current events and/or make new strides. I plan to soon put the current events largely aside to make more room to focus on projects and their related interactions.

RIP Dr. Carswell.

Obviously the clock ran out before I could avoid being a permanent disappointment.

Disappointment is subjective.

All will be revealed, when we pass and are judged by the most high.

He'll realize you're the most enlightened of the three. Also, he'll might be scratching his head, and wondering about the gay sand.

After the fact, he'd probably want to visit more often. Such is life.

"Life is not good. Life is not a bitch. Life is bitterweet gotch.".

I couldn't find gotch in the dictionary.
Perhaps gotch is intended to remain a mystery.

Don't sweat others expectations of your life.
It's yours.

We all get the same thing. We get a lifetime.

Maybe spent more of it with your mother.
Maybe patch up some other unresolveds if possible.

Truth tellers have something to look forward to when all is revealed.

Subjective indeed. His opinion was long since almost irrelevant to me, but we share common circles of influences. Allies are always better than not. I didn't need to be redeemed, but I wanted it anyway.

More than just pop culture corporate media, but people around me, are always talking about how important family is. I can recognize it in my own life at times, while other times it seems like myth. Especially when the establishment is perpetually trying to divide and break and control us. I can only guess where I stand in relation to the average (how ever many ways you choose to determine it). I can easily imagine better family lives. I've seen many, and not just on TV. I've also seen worse, and I can certainly imagine worse. There's no shortage of stories about abuses, kidnappings, orphans, etc. - and that's just in our first world. Most of the world suffers tortures of the damned under heavy boots and bombs of merciless exploitation and tyranny.

I don't buy into a heaven fantasy shit, as nice as that might be.

Anakin, you're focused on throwing gay sand instead of the fun of building sand castles. However, I must thank you, and indirectly Bob3 for engaging me there and giving me food for thought. Not under this post, I could give you a list of things I semi-regret doing in my youth. Obviously if someone says, "That's gross," I'm tempted to step it up. Why do we like to push limits? Sure it's fun, but short lived. Like my realizing that while IMO no topic is too taboo to joke about, however Holocaust Skepticism is better without jokes that would distract from the issue and make it a larger target. That was an epiphany for me, and similarly, discussing trolling I realized I needed to do better than throw gay sand, fun as it is, to be better. Next time someone's grossed out, I'll be forced to bite my tongue.

Sorry, Gotch Seeds doesn't have the same ring.

You know me online with many of my internal thoughts, but I'm pretty sure that if you knew me in person you'd soon realize I'm very independent. Though I try to be aware of what others think of me, I often don't give a shit and do my own thing anyway. Just yesterday I was discussing this getting drunk with my neighbour. He's financially set for his retirement with almost zero ambitions, so he wears what he would wear even if he were filthy rich. I'm scraping by month to month, but if I won the lottery (I'd have to play that scam), I'd have many ideas and counter-culture projects that I'd invest it in - but with extra financial wiggle room I'd employ some clothing artisans to develop MANY custom fashions, from practical to eccentric. IMO, like Burning Man, every day is Halloween. There's no shortage of 6-foot, long-haired, long-bearded, old-man get-ups I could easily wear well. One of my forthcoming project proposals will outline a way in which I just might even have a valid excuse to make this happen.

It would be nice to spend more time with Mom, though it'd be easier if she met me half way. I imagine to her I'm like my dad's mom. My Grandma was a born-again Jehova's Witness - the worst kind. So convinced their new way was the best and everyone must conform. Believe me, when I passionately go off about conspiracies I know I may sound crazy to the uninitiated and unexposed. I expect this is even more alienating from a bohemian non-conformist like me. To some I might as well try to convince them to ditch their stable committed marriages for polyamourous orgies - senseless.

Patching things up might be nice on some fronts. I suspect they might also be painful and/or a lot of effort. Sounding like someone possessed again, I know my time is limited, more than ever now and with my fucked up back - so IMO I need to use it with more purpose as wisely as I can on these projects. I can finally understand and sympathize with the unmarried Ralph Nader, though I'll have to pull some serious miracles out of my ass to actually be worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as him.

Oddly, in writing this, I've had another epiphany and project idea, very much NOT what I want to do, but very necessary I think, in order to save time from drafting all these epic, verbose, and beautifully eloquent diatribes (/s).

Shit man, heavy stuff. Hopefully there's some relief for you because the pressure from your dad is no longer. I wish your mom a speedy and full recovery. I don't have any words of wisdom but I'll be here to updoot your sometimes dank memes. Hang in there, and gardening is never the wrong decision.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Thanks. I wasn't expecting we'd have this strange abstraction in common so soon. I haven't felt pressure from him in ages. The phantom naggings are my own self-criticisms to simply be better.

You don't need words of wisdom, you are actions of wisdom.

I've been writing my dank memes down for LeverMind, the variety show that could be like a mashup of Corbett Report, Monty Python, and classic radical MTV with character skits, political analysis, resistance strategies, alternatives & solutions, counter-culture, navel gazing, animation, mashups, fierce montages, etc. (I might use this paragraph for a pitch.)

I'll be dropping as much as I can afford on food seeds this March. Even if the Great Global Famine is years away (or better: never), I can get practice and learn what I need to. If I was a better capitalist I'd exploit this event with more than just my LeverMind pitch and ask people to send me condolence seeds.

Talked to my Windsor brother, Ben, before my home cordless phone died. If I recall correctly, it turns out my Dad was admitted on New Year's Day or Eve for liver problems, got better and came home, then later couldn't breathe and returned to hospital where they put him on a ventilator (a well documented death sentence) for a few weeks. When he was at home Mom caught the flu that he'd caught in hospital, made worse when she had a minor stroke, fall, and hit her head. Ben thinks she'll return to 95% or better after the stroke.

    [–]JasonCarswell[S] 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    Sort of.

    He chose to medicate to remedy the bipolar - it didn't start the problem. Going to the hospital with liver problems is not "some no good reason". It seems he caught the flu there, though I don't know how sudden it was - or even how long he was initially there.

    Bipolar, among other things, are in our genes and family. Manufactured society want's us to fit in their cubicle box to better "manage" and exploit humanity, and if you don't fit you get marginalized or extinguished.

    My father was socially and perhaps mentally checked-out in the background for the last several years, just as I had been, on prescriptions. While they almost killed me, without more information and ability to discern the truth, I currently don't believe antidepressants killed my father. I may never know with any certainty.

    I think his old age, obesity, diabetes, bad liver, the flu, and those ventilator death sentences killed him.

    Well, I read it all and we'll forgo the condolences but sorry anyhow. Maybe you'll get something out of this, if not financial, peace of mind. I agree with your anti-corporate sentiments to a T.

    Seems like a major event so take it easy on yourself, this shit's nuts, the unknowing manipulation...I wish you the best.

    [–]JasonCarswell[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    Thank you.

    While I'm annoyed at all the stupid conspiracy theories that distract and discredit the countless actual conspiracy theories grounded in truth about corrupt levers of power that I'm even more annoyed and outraged at, I'd already found a peace of mind in finally understanding how it's all a rigged scam. I am at peace while motivated to resist, find alternatives, create new paradigms, and share solutions.

    Strange days indeed. "May you live in interesting times."

    On a side note, I was going to Facebook to link this, forgot my password (they keep making me change it) so I checked my rarely checked email. I found that one of my 250 memes struck a nerve with many folks and got attention.

    I'd be happy to make SaidItors my friends on Facebook, and of course I'll always keep their identities confidential - but I very rarely visit FB. I'm Jason 'Sunshine' Carswell if you care to find me there, though I may not check for months or years. You can let me know to accept it here on SaidIt. "jSunshine" was my Burning Man nickname before I started taking "anti"-depressants and withdrew from those many communities and the world at large.

    I'm going back upstairs to get drunk with one of my neighbours.

    A white lab coat. A whole laboratory. A long list of experiments. The scientist runs them and records the results. In this scenario, there is no "wrong" or "right" result. The result is just the result and the knowledge gained is the reason for the experiment.

    ^

    What if THAT was life?

    Humans are brainwashed with ideas about "success" which mimic the Jewish materialistic / satanic slant of MAKE MONEY OR BE A FAILURE and similar, artificial and stupid metrics. It doesn't change a thing. You are born, you go through time doing things and record the results. It's easier if you believe you are choosing things, but there is no way to prove that any of us actually do.

    [–]JasonCarswell[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

    If that were the case at least there'd be some order and accountability. During by Big Pharma poisons, despite being all fogged up, I could still see there was no methodology to their "science". They're so overwhelmed with information they're oblivious to their corrupt scientism - they can't see the forest through the trees.

    I know "success" is largely bullshit, yet, in many ways it matters. You can't have beautiful women without ugly women, and there are many of both, yet only some may be considered more highly valued as sex objects - just as men are measured as success objects. Obviously this is only a superficial take on it as there's much more to life than these criteria. Furthermore, I'm now fucking 50 years old, out of shape, and with a fucked up back - yet I'd still like to be "happy". I suppose I'm like a handful of 30-50 year old women that I've seen here and there over my years. They once had all eyes fixated on their young beauty, yet older and fading they desperately do stupid things for attention as they don't know anything else. Meanwhile, "ugly" women at the same age thrive with realism, independence, experience, and wisdom without drama.

    I agree, except I don't get what you are saying about order and accountability.

    [–]JasonCarswell[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    The "science" they employ is about chaos, not order. They were throwing darts in the dark to determine what prescriptions to give me. A "best guess" is NOT science.

    Who can I sue for the dozen years of my life that was destroyed? Who goes to jail for malpractice that killed my father? Not my mindless shrinks nor Big Pharma. Completely unaccountable.

    That's not science.

    Sorry for your loss Jason. Father son relationships are tricky and there's always going to be some differences of opinions and regrets involved. Hope you can make peace with all of it and accept it for what it is / was. As always, really appreciate your honesty and contributions here.

    I can only wonder how much things might have been different if I were a father too. I am certain that after I started taking the Big Pharma poison I finally learned a lot about mental health issues, including my bipolar, ADHD, and OCD that we've always had. I didn't need or want to forgive him, but it was a huge relief to understand him - and myself, including my past of bouncing around the continent without stability - like in my youth. Not only was I the ice breaker but my brothers had more stable childhoods as my parents finally settled in Windsor.

    I have 2 cats now, and even before yesterday they'd fight and dealing with them I was reminded of my parents. Perhaps as a father I might have understood him more.

    From my Big Pharma poisons I was in bad shape and by circumstances was lucky enough to find a place directly across the street from them. I was in a dark place and wanted to see no one, yet ironically I crawled out of my hole as they crawled into theirs. I rarely saw them. Meanwhile, before COVID my Mom (and sometimes my dad) made weekly or twice weekly visits to my brother in South Windsor to babysit her grand kids. I had no "future" to them.

    It is what it is.

    Backatcha. I feel grateful for you and the others' contributions, not just in these comments but on SaidIt. We're lucky and we've got a good thing going here.

    Jason, I always take a look at your writings and I read this post of yours with sadness but also admiration for your profound thoughts. I really wish you a full recovery that will allow you to use the full extent of your creativity and abilities.

    I'm sorry for your loss. No matter the failures, the pain and the disappointments, we was your dad.

    My mum just got the 'vaccine'. I don't expect her to last long, and she's so far away I'll not get to see her before she dies.

    He was. It is what it is. My heart goes out to you and your Mom. Strange that I feel more for strangers than myself. I guess that speaks more about me and my dad. I'm guessing you're either an alias of Amelia or are spoofing her.

    Appreciated.

    I still don't know why they didn't tell me they were in the hospital, nor why they waited 16 days to let me know.

    I agree that is puzzling and would think it is wrong on several levels. Sometimes the short answer is 'trauma', because people don't know how do deal with it.

    Naw. I'm just the black sheep.

    Well, you're in good company, I would think (among us many black sheep).

    JasonCarswell, I just saw this post man, I am truly sorry for your loss. Big hug to you, brother.

    We are living in insane times, the propaganda and brainwashing are more than evident to some of us, but the world in its majority is completely oblivious to reality. Every day the insanity grows more. Most older folks grew in a world with more order and sense; trust in authority was normal because authority was not rotten with corruption to the extreme like today. I just saw a post about medical personnel forcefully "vaccinating" dementia patients, like a horror movie.

    It is hell to know this reality and having this insanity infiltrate your life. Living in a world of zombies.

    Keep strong brother, you have better understanding of reality than most people. It is good to have you on our side in seeking truth and peace.

    Hugs are nice.

    I don't think things are insane yet, though certainly very irrational. Perhaps it's just semantics, but I think the worst is yet to come, and then we can discuss insanity via desperation.

    I think I saw the same videos. They fill me with more rage than my own father's death, away from my eyes. It will get worse, because it won't simply be "euthanizing" the demented. I use quotes because a truly compassionate end would not include hours or days or longer of suffering till death.

    Monsters in lab coats.

    One of the good ones too, you're among my /s/Friends, with contextual understanding of the ruling class' full spectrum dominance.

    I know I am super late to the party. Sorry about that! I am just now seeing this post (since you had linked to it in a common you'd made to me). I am so sorry about your father passing, and also sorry to hear about your being cut off from your family.

    I know these are random questions, but are you a Capricorn? The astrology of Capricorns is they all had at least 2 or 3 very hard years around 2018, 2019, 2020, but depending on your specific chart, the hard years may have started as early as 2008. Hopefully, this year has been a good year for you, despite covid. You deserve some breathing room!

    Next random question is do you know that a parasite called Toxoplasmosis causes mental issues? This article only addresses schizophrenia, but it causes a bunch of disorders, including bi-polar disorder, depending on which part of the brain it settles in. The reason I chose this particular article is because it points out that toxoplasmosis is carried in the sperm, and 50% of the offspring of an infected male carry it. This is why mental illness appears to be genetic. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/03/how-your-cat-is-making-you-crazy/308873/. I suspect that one of the reasons Daraprim and Ivermectin have been demonized is because they help cure mental illness, or at least stop it from getting worse. Big Pharma can't sell all those psych meds if people realize the true cause and cure of their issues.

    Finally, I would strongly recommend a book called The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner to help you learn ho to rebuild your relationship with your mother and siblings. It is a short, easy read and will change your life.
