I knew they were lying when they admitted during early days of the vax release that 6 people had experienced blood clots but that was for the whole country, so it was very rare! But I had already heard about two people in my circle of friends that also experienced clots. They weren’t part of that 6. Who else wasn’t?

Also wondered why it was safe to go to the Home Depot, but not to my neighborhood hardware store. Why grocery store checkout workers and restaurant delivery drivers didn’t need protection but needed to come to work no matter what.

Now I push back on everything I hear. So many lies. When will they stop?

Oh yeah, Home Depot and Walmart could remain open but all the Ma & Pa stores had to remain closed. There were hundreds of people in Home Depot but it was ok as long as you were masked up. I am right there with you on their lies. What blows my mind is that many people still believe the lies.

I thought about that as well. When the scam first hit us, I worried about the homeless. They weren't able, for the most part to even able to wash their hands. They didn't have masks! Public restrooms were closed "for everyone's safety". But what did they have that the privileged masses did not have, closed up in their homes, away from other human beings, bleaching surfaces and living in utter fear of death? The homeless had fresh air and sunshine.

It took some persistence but I followed the development of the Princess Cruise Ship in Tokyo Harbour. Three thousand souls aboard, Covid broe out. The press deemed it a tomb for all three thousand, the Port Authorty towed her off into a remote corner of the harbour to await her fate. After a few days the story faded from mainsream news. I learned a few weeks later whan I rn across a backpage note: perhaps two dozen died, almost all of them VREY elderly and with multiple comorbidities.. Everyone else survived, despite being seriously abused by quarantine and isolation policies, worthless aboard such a closed envirnment.

Best precitce would have been to let each person decide what to do... Id have spent the whole time outside in the sunshine and fresh air, chatting with folks, making friends, taking vigourous turns round the decks, riding the stationary bikes in he workout room, learning to swim and eating lots of food.

And making certain I had a suitable intake of elemental zinc..... along with vitamins C and d.

Yes!! And for me the kicker was the one man on the ship who got quite sick and had to be hospitalized and had been quarantined with his wife, and she NEVER EVEN GOT SICK!! So then I questioned how contagious it could really be. Quarantined in close quarters with a very ill person and still never got Covid? 🤔

Susan Stephens's avatar

Nope. Actually that’s when mass media went into meltdown warning people to NOT take hydroxychloroquine for covid treatment. As soon as HCQ was uttered by Trump The Powers that Be pounced. Next was Ivermectin on the chopping block. Two genuinely safe & effective inexpensive medications were vilified. And as a tragic consequence many died.

Some of us were able to find brave doctors who were willing to write prescriptions (in many countries these are OTC) despite threats of losing their medical licenses & hospital privileges.

Oh! And what drug was pushed for treatment? Fauci’s Remdesivir (cost about

$ 5-6,000 per 5-day dosage) which failed vs. Ebola, & caused kidney damage plus fluid buildup in the chest. Nurses called it “death is near.”

I think she has the assumption that all of the vaccine lots contained the same ingredients. But assessments have discovered wide variations, no doubt by design. Easier to keep the gravy train running if you don't kill off everyone at the same time.

Also in my area many people got two different vaxes for their initial two doses. AZ #1, Mod #2 etc. I would assume that would be better. And further to that I suspect a lot of the first doses were placebo. Doctors and pols got the first doses. No one died. If they had it would have been stopped. So half the double dosers actually got one only. In my area the problems accelerated with the booster.

I refused it more out of a "wait and see" attitude because I've had some unpleasant reactions to newer drugs before. Then the insanely heavy-handed push to get shots in arms started and it was pretty apparent something was wrong. Nobody was allowed to ask what the long-term effects were - and far too many were biting on the "it's been out for a couple of months, we would have seen long-term effects" line. (That one _still_ boggles my mind.) Reading more of the somewhat quiet papers, it was easy to see that things weren't right. Add that the disease they were addressing already had a 99+% survival rate and ... nah.

No, I don’t have personal superstitions. I walk under ladders regularly. 🤣. I believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God and I believe what He says in it. Everything flows from there. Utilizing modern day techniques in our court systems for determining truth and reasonable doubt, and what is required to prove something to be true and accurate, the legitimacy of the Bible passes with flying colors. It has more proof to support it and Jesus than just about any other historical document or person in the world. More than ten times the volume of documented evidence and unconnected witnesses. That’s beyond superstition. That enters the realm of facts, and takes intelligence and critical thinking to do the research fully and go beyond the bloviation of naysayers. I’m sorry you can’t enjoy such a rock solid belief at your core, and that you have to rely on the opposing superstitions of your own - because they are built on sand and supported by the wind. Hopefully one day you will find the courage to do the research yourself because given what the Bible claims, it’s no biggie for me if I’m wrong, but it’s shattering for you if I’m right. That makes it the single most important document to investigate and get it right.

I'm a bit torn by Dreher. He write good stuff pretty regularly then he devolves into emotional-drivel on occasion that makes me wonder if he has a screw loose. He's a lot like Jordan Peterson in that he can't control his emotions in public, not the sign of someone confident in their worldview. He's bounced from evangelical Protestantism, to Catholicism, to Orthodoxy, seemingly desperate to find something to fill an emotional void within him. His wife divorced him after decades and he claimed they had "grown apart". He abandoned the US for Hungary in seemingly yet another attempt to escape and fill that missing void.

I judge people by the fruits of their lives, and like Peterson, Dreher has *a lot* of turmoil in his life. I find it hard to take seriously the philosophy and punditry of an individual whose personal life is so at odds with the maturity I would expect of someone at his age.

I understand some of what you’re saying here. I like both Peterson and Dreher but see the humanness in each of their writings, talks, commentaries…I see more to agree with than to question. BUT!

And I admit, although I know exactly Who I agree with 100%, I’m still searching for something too - mainly how to follow the old “live IN this world but be not OF it.” Both Peterson and Dreher give me hope that I can get better at that, which is reason enough for me to keep on listening to and mulling over their ideas.

Jeff C's avatar

Thanks for such a thoughtful response. I completely agree that both of them have given some very good advice and counsel on specific topics. My concern is that people look to them as gurus when neither seems to have a very good grasp on their own lives. And what I find really troubling, is that both of them present themselves as gurus to some extent.

It's really easy to find fault with people as we are all human and fallen creatures. What I find troubling about both Petersen and Dreher is that they present themselves as people with the answers for humanity, yet they have done pretty poor jobs managing their own lives (relatively speaking). Yes, lots of people have questionable decisions in their recent history, but then they don't go around claiming they have all the answers and others should follow them.

The Bible says by their fruits you shall know them. My pastor has a bunch of grown kids, all doing well and leading humble Christian lives. He lives in a modest home, drives an older car, and he and his wife spend their time working with LA's homeless. His wife leads an outreach to prostitutes to bring them to Jesus. I've never seen him lose his temper or composure (though I have often seen his joy at bringing someone to Christ). Plus he's a gifted teacher that knows the Word backwards and forwards.

That is fruit, and I give what he says far more credence than that of either Dreher or Peterson.

Edit: Just had a thought that what we call "humanness" is often just a euphuism for spiritual immaturity. A key gift of the Holy Spirit is self-control, as St. Paul makes clear in his letters. I don't see self-control in these men's lives. I don't condemn them for that, as we all have our foibles. But then we should acknowledge it brings their judgment into question.

Edit2: fixed a few typos

Jeff C. You lay out a good argument for not following many of the ‘thought leaders” or influencers of the day. Maybe I’m just lazy, but I don’t have time, or want to make time for them. Other than reading some C.S. Lewis, I stick to the Bible for instruction on how to think, feel, and act, etc.

I don’t know Dreher at all, and what little I know of Jordon Peterson shows that he has feet of clay. He’s an intellectual, no doubt, but as the comments today started out speaking of not trusting anything…I find myself often trusting intellectuals the least. They’re capable of making wonderful arguments, using big words and sounding like they know it all; but just a little spirit-led discernment shows the error in their thinking.

You, too, are well versed. Gifts of the Holy Spirit vary and we do our best to use our gifts to glorify God. Might I suggest, in love, that your pastor shares the Gospel with these people and expresses joy when the Holy Spirit blesses the person with saving grace? No human ‘brings’ any human to Christ, per se. We humbly share the good news of the Gospel. Nitpicking here because I realized I was wanting to ‘save’ people for my own satisfaction and not for God’s glory and then realized I’m a tool, in many senses, and saving only comes through the Holy Spirit. Hope I haven’t offended and I may have taken what you said too literal and hope you see that I’m trying to clarify for curious people that might read these posts. God bless you!

Yes, people like your pastor arguably SHOULD be the ones considered gurus of how to live a truly good Christian life. But there is a level of humility (I’m assuming he has) required that might make it impossible for him to ever reach a broader audience. Some are called and equipped to reach the masses foibles and all - like each of the apostles, for example.

As for the term “humanness,” I almost used “imperfection” instead; that’s what I was going for originally. Since, as you said, we all have our foibles, maybe that better conveys my thought. I’m not saying “spiritual immaturity” doesn’t work there but I’d have to think on that…when I attempt to contemplate that my mind wanders again back to humility. Perhaps it all comes full circle.

Last week, Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham published a controversial new book, “Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.” In her heavily-footnoted, carefully-cited book, Basham described a decades-long conspiracy among leftist billionaires, some of whose names rhyme with ‘Noros,’ to infiltrate America’s churches and seed wacky leftist ideas like climate change, gay marriage, trans surgeries, and open borders.

Everyone has to find their own way, and make their own choices, of course. I offer this counterpoint not in disagreement, but for consideration. The public data points of Rod Dreher's life journey are of course the tiniest fraction of the truth. To me, the journey he's expressed from mainstream Christianity, to Western Catholicism, to Orthodoxy speaks of a pilgrim's journey for the truth. While I don't know and can't speak to the end of a marriage, that kind of intense spiritual travel is very hard if the spouse isn't on a very similar journey. Jesus himself warned of it in the Gospels. As for emotional control, well, not all are stoics. Again, for your and other readers' consideration.

You are right no doubt that people handle situations differently, but that doesn't mean that all methods are equal.

Pretty much every decision I've made in emotion, have turned out to be bad ones. Emotional decisions have a place, when something is time critical. When the house is on fire and one's baby is inside, it isn't time to meticulously consider all the options. However, that makes up probably 0.1% or less of people's decisions.

Chronic emotional decisions are an obvious sign of poor self-control. People with poor self-control lead miserable lives. They end up in chronic debt, can't keep jobs, have dysfunctional relationships, and with legal problems. The often have poor health too as a result of their emotional decisions. We can quibble about the magnitude of these effects, but it's without question that rational, sound decision makers lead more peaceful lives with far less turmoil.

Paul speaks about this Galatians 5:22-23, self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It has nothing to do with embracing a Stoic philosophy, but exerting control over one's life. Self-control involves moderation, constraint, and the ability to say “no” to our baser desires and fleshly lusts. This isn't Stoicism but the result of sanctification that comes from God. Paul also spells out the opposite of this in Galatians 5:19-21. It's not a pretty list.

We all go through our journeys in life and God knows I've made plenty of mistakes, I don't condemn Dreher but have sympathy for him. I could not imagine my marriage breaking up. But would you take financial advice from a sixty year old with no savings and in debt up to his eyeballs? Or would you rather get it from someone without debt and a sizable retirement account who's looking forward to a comfortable retirement? That's the issue here, not whether Dreher's divorce was justified. He has not done a good job managing his own life yet he seeks to place himself in a highly-public influential role telling others how to lead their lives.

Any more, I prefer to make my own mind up about things, especially when words like scam are thrown around. They said the same thing about chiropractors for many years calling them quacks, and often times when someone doesn't understand something they resort to ad hominin attacks. Also some people are expecting miracles when one thing tried may not be the whole answer to a problem, which could be due to a myriad of problems. Doctors and others also like to post online the MSDS assay sheets for bulk chemicals and equate this to "how dangerous" vitamins are. Well duh, dosage is KEY. Even WATER is toxic at a certain point of ingestion I tell them. They have no eyes to see nor ears to hear. And while the placebo effect is a real phenomenon I have found myself to be relatively immune to its effect. I test by how I feel and if I start feeling like crap I can usually pick out why within a few days of contemplating what I did or did not do/take. What IS a scam? Anything that claims you will lose weight without trying or changing anything about yourself just TAKE THIS PILL. And anyone calling you and asking for your bank account, social security, or credit card numbers are also scams. I avoid these. All other things are up for debate and experimentation / reading. It's $40. If it's a scam I will just pretend I bought some (really cheap and probably ugly) fireworks and blew my money up, without the noise and danger of blowing up a finger. It definitely won't be the dumbest thing I ever tried to improve my health (sadly--all those immunizations I had pre 2020 comes to mind--also those ARE a SCAM and a LIE).

Unless they get between the antenna and a cellphone user, is my understanding for 5G. 4G is equally radiated and 5G is beamed. 4G is needed to target the 5G receiver and then 5G beams the high bandwidth beam to the item requesting the data. Correct? Higher milliwatts be square meter power density thus the higher bandwidth capabilities? Is that correct Vonu?

Arthur Firstenberg, author of The Invisible Rainbow, has been talking about this for ages, but few people listen. He is advocating that people get rid of their cell phones because the cell towers are destroying the natural world all over the globe. But how many people are going to do that? This is a site where you can sign up for his mailing list: https://cellphonetaskforce.org/subscribe/ His e-mails are frightening. A recent one talked about how all the insects are disappearing: "WHERE HAVE ALL THE INSECTS GONE?

Satellites are taking them, every one

The least noticed and greatest assault on Earthly life rains on us from the sky.

People call him from all over the world and report the massive death of lorikeets, the disappearance of frogs, and the health problems of humans when cell towers are installed.

4G penetrates the body causing interruptions in the neurological communications, leading to multiple problems with intracellular communications, leading to hundreds of problems. 5G doesn't penetrate, but causes red blood cell clumping so calls can't get nutrients and function properly. Best thing about 5G is that it can't travel very far from the cell tower. That makes it "safer" than 4G. Bottom line: Don't put a 5G router in your house!

If I remember right, that was in David Crockett's day and I think I read an account he related. (I can't remember everything anymore lol.) That part of the country was sparsely populated in those days. Entire towns were flattened and entire forests were literally laid flat. The land rippled like ocean waves flattening the forests. All game was killed or driven out and the people were on the brink of starvation because of it.

When I was a child, my dad and I drove by Reelfoot Lake in Tenn and he told me the lake was formed by the earthquake. That made an impression on me.

The book I read had an excerpt from Davy Crockett. The book was a compilation of firsthand accounts of the devastation. There was even an account about the cousin of Thomas Jefferson murdering a slave in that area and burning the body in the outside fireplace. Rumors had circulated and sheriffs came to investigate. An after shock shook the fireplace and the skull came rolling out. If I recall, he was arrested, but escaped and was never heard from again. Some fascinating historical accounts from the time are included in the book. I wish I had written down the title. I passed it along to a friend without writing it down.

I think it's the other way around. Israel has been DIRECTING our foreign and domestic policy since they took out JFK. He had to be removed so they could develop their own nuclear capability, which JFK vehemently opposed after the Cuban missile crisis. Then they orchestrated 9/11 to give America the reason to fight the Zionist's enemies. Read Laurent Guyenot JFK-9/11, and you'll get the details. These assassinations of foreign leaders are now out in the open for the Israelis, as shown in today's post. And they are doing EXACTLY what Jeff was alluding to with the Bouncer.

It was my cat that found it, but she’s the kitten of the bunch, and didn’t know quite what to do with it. I’ve never heard a fox snake called a rat snake. This one was only a foot long.

It consists of the North American ratsnakes, the foxsnakes, and the cornsnakes" Good to have around. We have black rat snakes in the south. Good you moved him. It's probably a lot happier too!
