Thursday Theories – War vs Anti-Maskers and Anti-Vaccines

Lolsys Library

I originally had nothing for this week, but then in Sydney, they had a anti-lockdown “protest”. Where lots were fined and arrested. People who I originally had no respect for, were calling this “protestors”, boof-heads and special idiots. When people who originally thought lock downs were bad, have now done a 180. You should probably listen.

Ironically enough as well, my partner got a text message saying that he needed too get a COVID test done, which meant both myself and my mum had to get tested. I had only been back at my house for ONE night, after the lockdown. So been waiting all day and evening for the results. Pretty sure it’ll be negative though.

NSW, currently, have the Delta Variant, pretty much ripping through NSW. In fact, it’s because of some movers from NSW, that a lot of the other states had to go into lockdown. NSW…

The U.S. Has Lost Its Collective Conscience

Filosofa's Word

Today, I am deeply disappointed in a large portion of this nation.  Oh, there are many reasons, but my current angst is fueled by some responses I have read and heard to the testimony of the four police officers before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection on Tuesday.

First, I would like to ask that you watch this 8-minute interview Don Lemon did with Officer Michael Fanone yesterday.  Lemon plays a clip of a voicemail that Officer Fanone received during the time he was testifying and … it is so vile, so disgusting, so cruel … but I think it’s important to understand how a certain segment of our society thinks.  My apologies, but I cannot embed this video, however here is the link:

Tragic and disgusting.  Officer Fanone and every other officer who defended the Capitol and protected…

La voz del poeta

La voz del poeta es el idioma de las hojas al sentir las caricias y los ósculos de la lluvia y el viento en primavera y en verano, en otoño y en invierno. El lenguaje del poeta es el concierto del océano, una mañana o una tarde, al fundirse en el horizonte con el sol y regalar crepúsculos a los enamorados, a los que ríen y lloran, a los solitarios, a los caminantes, a los que duermen una noche y a los que despiertan una mañana. Los susurros del poeta son las melodías del arte y también sus pausas, sus silencios, sus detalles, sus motivos. El canto del poeta es concierto del mundo y del paraíso, nota de luz y de barro. La letra del poeta es el abecedario infinito, principio y fin, día y noche. El sigilo del…

St. Louis official says he was targeted with racist slurs over mask promotion | TheHill

Khan told The Washington Post that his treatment by the council members and others in attendance was “the saddest, most bizarre and disgusting thing” he had witnessed in his 30-year career in public health.

“My time before the Council began with a dog-whistle from Councilman Tim Fitch, who said he wanted to emphasize for the assembled crowd that I was not from this country,” Khan wrote in a letter to the council’s chairwoman.

He also described being “consistently berated” throughout his presentation and facing jeers and physical assaults when he tried to exit the meeting.

“On more than one occasion, I was shoulder-bumped and pushed. As I approached the exit and immediately outside the chambers, I became surrounded by the crowd in close quarters, where members of the crowd yelled at me, calling me a ‘fat brown c—‘ and a ‘brown b——.'”

Khan is the latest public health professional to experience mistreatment and clash with elected officials during the pandemic.

A Maryland man was charged this week in the state’s federal court with making threats against Anthony Fauci. The pressures of the pandemic have caused more than 250 public health officials to leave the profession, CNN reported in May.
