Dance and Debate

Immune Resistance to Propaganda

“Consider the advice of the old alchemist to his disciple, ‘If you do our work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.’ A truly playful attitude can act as a catalyst to synchronicity. An Attitude of lighthearted openness reduces the shadow to a bare minimum. Coincidences are often delightful. The most ancient and elevated concepts of creation, a concept based in rhythm, movement and mutual attraction, in a word, the dance. The Dance appeared at the beginning of all things. The Lord of the Dance resonates throughout the universe as the rhythmic energy that is at the foundation of everything. The dynamic tension between discipline and self abandonment describes the ambience of the our relationship to the world when we are most open to experiencing synchronicity. We play. We dance. ‘If you would understand what I am, know this, all that I have said, I have uttered playfully, and I was by no means ashamed. I danced.’ Jesus Christ- Acts of John. *

It’s been a while since I’ve published on Substack, like a tree not falling in the woods. Don’t worry, I have other follies. One of those was an email “debate” with a retired biochemistry professor from a prestigious university. Another smartest guy in the room.

I just advised RFK jr that we can’t debate our way out of this morass, (it will take a pole and a flatboat), but this one was thrust upon me, and I’ve enjoyed the opportunity. It can be stifling, preaching in a silo.

Last winter, an older friend suffered a minor stroke after getting the booster. He’d mostly recovered when I pointed out the correlation, but refused to believe the jab was causative. His doctors told him he was stroke susceptible.

I traded a few rounds of vaxxfaxx with him, then gave him a print copy of Mandatory Vaccinations = Totalitarian Inoculation, like a Jehovah’s Witness reeling in one of the elect. Rather than reading the 90 page distilled print version of the 600 page e-book, he asked his biochemist friend to prove me wrong. The retired professor didn’t read it either.

It took a few months to begin the debate, while emeritus vacationed in his villa in Tuscany, but eventually he issued his Pentathlon Challenge. Five questions, to be refuted by the “dangerous” delusional, if possible.

I disposed of them one a week by pointing out factual errors vs mythical assumptions. He rebutted furiously, and I made a closing argument, like any high school debate. I’ve finished the Pentathlon, but the professor issued more litmus tests, then bowed out, since I couldn’t be reasoned with as an anti-vaxxer. I think my arguments were reasonable, and may publish them with his identity anonymized, however, this series is about immune resistance to propaganda.

I’m even more convinced that debate won’t thaw frozen Golden Ponds, but it has been stimulating for my immune system. We thrive on meeting difficult but attainable challenges, fall into hopeless despair and learned helplessness, without winning some battles, and artistically expressing ourselves. Dancing on the edge.

I wasn’t sleeping well the other night, so began counting friends and acquaintances who suffered covaxx injuries in the last two years. Sudden deaths, strokes, heart failure, arrhythmia, tinnitus, mystery rashes, myocarditis, turbo tumors. Started feeling like I’d be the only one at my funeral. Switched to fantasizing about Little Bo Peep, had a crush on her since Granny Goose.

The Week, a Canadian published magazine that summarizes media opinions about newsworthy events, covered the national response to the end of the “three year old emergency pandemic state of emergency” in a half page. The pandemic: What we did right-and what we did wrong, May 26 2123. did not live up to their promise of The Best of the U.S. and International Media.

Basically, nothing the U.S. did was really wrong, perhaps overzealous. The Los Angeles Times noted that it cost “the U.S. economy a staggering $14 trillion”, while “the overwhelming majority of deaths” from covid continues to be people over 75.

The New York Times, faintly praised the federal government for getting “several things right”, most critically the stimulus checks and eviction moratoriums that “kept millions fed and housed.” Masks and social distancing “slowed the spread of infection and death”, [the reporter did not read his own paper’s op-ed revealing that these had no effect].

New York magazine praised Fauci, for doing “some public soul searching”, but conservatives “got covidextremely wrong” because of their “anti-science hostility.” Highlighted their underestimates of potential deaths (studiously ignoring wild overestimates by Gates funded epidemiologists), while “calling for a quick reopening” as the “desperately sick filled hospitals and bodies stacked up at overwhelmed morgues.” The Warp Speed vaccines were effective, but now “constitutes a political liability” with “even Trump running away from it”, after “touting quack cures hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.”

Deseret News criticized ‘harsh government controls” for eroding public trust, yet excused them. “Painful trade-offs were inevitable”, but public health leaders should have anticipated that the “American public would grow weary of prioritizing Covid over everything else.”

In the end “we were dealt a lucky hand”, an NIH immunologist swore to Time magazine, allowing a vaccine to be whipped out in 66 days, because of previous coronavirus pandemic research for SARS and MERS.

Even the New Yorker Radio Hour admitted there was no difference in death and hospitalization rates between the most locked down state of California and targeted protection of the most vulnerable in Florida. So nothing wrong with the social and economic disaster of public health departments lock down “guidelines”? Masking? Children’s Development? All swept under the Talking Points rug.

It seems as if Americans will sleepwalk into the next plandemic, like narcoleptic dancing on the nuclear abyss in Europe with no alarums from corporate media. One can only hope the beat will change to a rousing syncopation.
