Maybe we should change the definitions of “virus” and “contagion” in all their forms. Enough of them getting all the fun!

This is what I want to write about next week. These words have been coopted, and I think we can take them back, or at least understand what they mean on a different level.

What is remarkable is the seemingly perfect timing of the virologists when 'observing' the phenomena.

If a patient sample is taken, which by chance will always contain this one type of virus that the virologists have already 'assumed' to be the trigger in advance, it is precisely this type of 'virus' that grows after the cell culture is created, and not any other type of the supposedly latent viruses that are said to be present in such large numbers everywhere. There are never virus particles in the smear directly, but only after the 'cultivation' procedure. This means that there are no smears that already show CPE without the intervention of virology. Strangely enough, the cells only die when a virologist is present and the entire mixture of the patient sample, together with new, creative ingredients, has been transferred to a Petri dish. At no time is it observed that the CPE happens already in the body fluid of the mucous membranes, for example spit, from where they make their way out.

So it might be enough to put a 'do not drink' warning on every Petri dish, as is done with other chemical cocktails. The whole thing is disgusting anyway.

You'd think they would see this, wouldn't you? It seems that people who get lots of education in these scientific fields never learn to think critically or logically, or question their assumptions. Which ought to be de rigueur for a science education. But not in our upside down world.

Yep, the only viruses that have been weaponized and successful are mind viruses of psychology.

But the experiments of the predator class made it like humanity is crazy and gullible. Looking back at those experiments it's clear that this research is as broken as the research into virology.

I always get mad when people pull out that Milgram crap to support how humans are so prone to obeying external authority. I have read that he was working with the CIA--that's enough to discredit that experiment. (I find the video of it traumatizing to even watch!) The nonsense we've been fed for centuries about "human nature" is a major factor in how we've been convinced to collaborate in our own enslavement.

Milgram wrote this "Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View ". It really is an interesting read as he describes exactly several iterations of various subjects and their post experiment debrief reactions.

Who really knows anything about how the body works? We could be battling diseases all the time and it's our body that fights them off. I am beginning to believe that if you are afraid of a disease or expect a disease, you will eventually have your fears and desires fulfilled. Lanka is the one person I trust the most when it comes to busting pseudo-virology.

If there are no "viruses" and no pathogens and no contagion, disease needs to be redefined as our bodies' efforts to eliminate unwanted stuff and heal itself. It isn't disease, but health when we do that--and I think you are right--it's happening all the time, mostly beneath our awareness. It's when the toxins and debris from dying tissue build up that we get "symptoms," because there's more to clean up. And fear is absolutely a factor--I think the CDC even acknowledged that! Emotions are directly linked to conditions in the body, as are thoughts.

Or diseases are the result of an imbalanced body, whether due to toxins, malnutrition, or trauma/mental issues. Crap in the body builds up and the bugs come to be scavengers on the dead stuff so the result can be eliminated.

It's funny how they think disease comes from a "bad thing" that is dead, but somehow intelligent 😂.

It's a ridiculous war like mentality and explains why modern medicine loves to prescribe toxic medicines to "beat" the cancer, bacteria, fungus, etc.

Re "It's funny how they think disease comes from a "bad thing" that is dead, but somehow intelligent."

This is because those who think it are brain dead, yet think they are intelligent. :)

It explains why the zombie thing became popular in culture in the last few decades. 😂

Dr Hamer figured out how the body works and discovered the 5 biological laws of nature. Every symptom has a meaning and the body is always working to protect and get back to homeostasis.

'as smoothies' is an angram of 'homeostasis' which I rather like. 'aims soothes' is another which is better I think.

Certainly it is a constant balancing act with the resources within us.

The Bible talks about fear and its consequences.

"For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me." Job 3 v.25

"Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. " Luke 21 v.26

"cultural information unit..." Sounds ominous... straight out of a dystopian novel but I guess it works both ways ;)

We're getting so close to this in real life (if we haven't already crossed that threshold) that it's obvious that we need to pull back from the precipice before it's too late.

Thanks for playing your part Betsy. It starts here. Everything that comes after will be because a few brave souls stood up and told the truth when everyone else was regurgitating govt and corporate lies.

I don't really like the word "unit" either, and even describing everything as "information," in other words, "data," seems like feeding into the techno narrative. Maybe I should find different words for these things. I certainly don't want to move us any closer to that dystopian digital existence--if you could even call it "existence." It's also true that I rather despise Richard Dawkins--at least, I pity him, since his view is that the universe is random, there is no inherent meaning or purpose or order in it, and that to me is just the view that leads into the desire to control everything, the impetus behind transhumanism and digitizing "life." But I do think the idea of a "meme" as a bit of culture is a useful one, and not detrimental. I'm just thinking out loud here, provoked by your comments. Thanks.

I'll come clean. I commented on the phrase that stuck in my head but then had to go back and check how you'd actually used it in context and it was framed positively so instead of starting from scratch i fudged a "patch." That'll teach me to jump the gun! Promise I won't do it again. Anyway, it works fine. I just have these gov dept names and acronyms stuck in my head since I've always found them fun to create for stories. Of course we can have them too. Why should the bad guys have all the fun.

I remember reading Dawkins because it was trendy at the time and concluding that some people are possibly lacking that which others sense innately - a deep connection with the source of all things. This was confirmed when he tried on some kind of device that typically opens up this underlying connection in "normal" people. He felt nothing at all and was visibly proud of it.

What is truly astounding though is that people who claim to be masters of logic and reason are unable to come to the conclusion that "all that is" cannot come from a state of "nothing" as claimed by theoretical physicists such as Laurence Kraus and others in Dawkin's camp. They have to go as far as changing the meaning of nothing to serve their ideology much as virologists have changed the meaning of isolation to serve their nefarious purposes.

They go out of their way to deny the logical conclusion of a prime mover. Which makes me wonder who these people really are and what they might be trying to achieve. I think we know the answer to that now and I believe their days are numbered.

Very insightful viewpoint.

Some very powerful memes have been done in music of many genres. Yet they do not seem to have accomplished much more than making profits for the groups, and raising a short duration of interest. eg; https://youtu.be/Sk3sURDS4IA?si=t53CXxqQ2-AJrTqX, https://youtu.be/RLFKsDOtfLI?si=daXfNU0DQTikKBxe.

There's nothing useful about the word. It's of benefit only to psychos and our less-than generations. Ppl 35 & under are mostly subhuman with far too many verbal ticks to recover from so the word is here to stay. Thanks anyway but I don't like the nuance you afford the word and consider Dawkins is overrated. I agree with much of what you write.

I don't care for Dawkins, either. His view that the universe is random and meaningless is exactly the mentality that leads to transhumanism and digitizing life--everything is random so we need to control it and there's no meaning so we can do what we want. I appreciate your thoughts on the word--not sure if you mean "meme" or "viral." I'm not sure about either one myself, just exploring possibilities.

Yes I just get grumpy at the v-word. That's the one I was referring to. I'm not feeling very wordy now as I'm typing with one thumb laying on my side. Maybe later but I like to read your things. 👍

Spread is a better word to use because it actually describes what is happening but as you say the v word is here to stay at least for a while until the new kids on the block choose some random slang word to replace it just because. "Sick" comes to mind. It "sucks" but that's language I guess.

I had not seen the Mark Bailey 'Its' not an infection, it's a decomposition', which is a great way of putting it. I have said since June 2020 that so-called viruses are the equivalent of rubbish/garbage men taking out the trash.

I also say that the meaning of virus is as it sounds 'via us', i.e. arising from us, not outside the body.
