[center]Abide This[/center]
A few years ago, a federal troll was dialoging with me about
some socialist statements I posted. The troll recommended a book
for me to read. I read it.
The book is about a pandemic which kills everyone who has not
been recently bitten by a snake or a spider. Unlike COVID-19,
the pathogen in the book is in the Black Death league. Almost
everyone dies from the book pathogen. Months go by before the
lead character Ish, a young man at the start of the book, finds
a woman. Other people are found later.
In time Ish becomes the founder and leader of a small tribe. One
of only a handful of tribes in America living among the decaying
ruins of our dead civilization. The Ish tribe lives near what
was once Oakland, California.
The title of the book is 'Earth Abides', and the author is
George R. Stewart. Earth Abides is the only novel George ever
wrote, but George wrote a very good book. A true magnum opus.
Over time the earth abides. The scars of civilization are healed
over by passing time.
As the Ish tribe grows, a man named Charlie appears. Ish and
Emma his wife, quickly become suspicious of Charlie. Charlie
reveals in a bout of heavy drinking that he had episodes of
'cupids disease' before the pandemic erased civilization.
An inexperienced reader will become confused, Charlie is
described as carrying typhus. Clarity comes with understanding
that George Stewart wrote his book in 1949. Describing an
episode of the tribe having to deal with a newcomer carrying
venereal disease had to be done with a certain finesse in 1949.
George did a fine job of it. The mention of typhus made the
anecdote publishable. Adults in the room can figure it out.
Three people die from George's infection. Natural immunities
from the diseases of civilization have disappeared in this new
world without medicine. The young have no protection.
George was corrupting the youth of the tribe, and not like
Socrates was unless you want to confuse Socrates with Charlie
Manson. It could be said Charlie Manson corrupted the youth. And
in no good way.
So what to do with a man who likely was a violent criminal who
carries a concealed gun in a peacefull tribe? This man has some
sort of venereal disease and is responsible for three deaths
already. Murder in the way someone infected with COVID-19
refusing to wear a mask kills people now.
What to do? There is no apparent crime. The book can't get close
to the nature of Charlie's sexual encounters, (remember this is
1949) so Charlie has some presumption of innocence. What if the
first sexual encounter was consensual? Then there was no crime.
What to do?
Exile is out of the question. Charlie would only come back. The
youth of the tribe are smitten by Charlie. They can't understand
that Charlie is a danger who will be responsible for many more
deaths. Charlie wants a young attractive woman named Evie for
himself. Evie is simpleminded and slow. Childlike, Evie is not
able to take care of herself. The only way Evie can survive is
by the tribe taking care of her. Because of Evie's mental
impairment it is a tribe taboo that Evie know of sex. Evie is
incapable of taking care of a child, she can't even take care of
herself. So what to do. Evie can't be a mother and Charlie is
not going to keep it in his pants. Sooner or later Charlie will
**** Evie.
George Stewart hung Charlie. George made Ish call a meeting with
the men of the tribe. It is decided Charlie must die. George
Stewart wrote the death scene well. Ish knows hanging Charlie is
wrong. Ish also knows hanging Charlie is for the good of the
tribe, and it has to be done. Charlie dies staring at Ish with
hate.
The memory of Charlie from Earth Abides haunted me this week.
The bow-tied mug of a man named David Martin has been plastered
all over the internet, and his bow-tied face is what stirred the
memory.
David Martin is a man who has found a very clever way to make
money mis-representing pseudoscience around COVID-19 as fact.
David Martin is in the Plandemic movie.
David Martin's representation of truth using filed US patents
and US patents applications is flawed and ignorant. I could rip
all Davids arguments to shreds. But ripping David's arguments to
shreds would be tedious and a waste of time. Davids disciples
don't give a **** about true facts. Their trust in David is
completely emotionally based, so I won't waste my time.
Patents should not be confused with science, or facts. Patents
are legal instruments, sometimes of very dubious validity. They
are nothing more than legal instruments. Patent documents are
certainly not touchstones of truth.
David Martin will not be responsible for as many COVID-19 deaths
as Donald Trump is. Trump is a hard act to follow, but David's
attraction to far right supporters of Donald Trump is
undeniable. David represents conservative interests of the most
ignorant and self-serving kinds, Concervatives prefer social
chaos over democracy. Most important to power, David keeps
people divided. The kicker is, that David also has an audience
of conspiracy theorists of many stripes now. With Trump gone, a
few independent 'journalists' popular on tubes who describe
themselves as progressive, are loving David. Their audiences, in
a perpetual search for any cause they can get behind, can't get
enough of David. They need their hate fix. Such people are more
about hating the word as it is, instead of wanting something
different. Wanting something different in the world requires
thought.
When I think of David, I think of Charlie from 'Earth Abides'.
It is good not to be Ish.
According to many, and I am one of the many, resources are going
to be crunched by global heating and resource depletion in the
coming years. This is happening because the human population is
living in overshoot. We have too many people for one planet. All
our agriculture is oil based and without oil we starve. Failure
of agriculture will cause unimaginable misery and death in years
ahead as oil supplies deplete and the globe warms. Hard facts of
life ignored by all. Overshoot happens when a population grows
beyond the maximum number an environment can support.
A popular pastime of those enamored with business as usual and a
pastime of those who benefit from current arrangements is to
claim science and the observed facts about our climate situation
are wrong.
Deniers can't claim the climate is not changing as they recently
did anymore. Evidence for global heating can't be denied. The,
'it does not matter, it won't be as bad as ridiculous doomers
say it will be' now echos through the land. Smoke, mirrors and
revised bullshit.
When I think of COVID-19 deniers and climate. I think of Charlie
from 'Earth Abides'.
It is good not to be Ish.
But if I were Ish there are too many deniers to hang. Nothing
would be solved by their demise. They would only die with stares
of hate and a new crop of business as usual sycophants would
emerge to take their place. Collective survival continued to be
ignored as ignorance would not die with the noose.
Things do not look good, but things have to look very bad for
any collective road to Damascus moment. Way more bad than things
are now. If and when such a moment happens it will likely be too
late.
A new economics of limits has to be worked out now. But in our
current atmosphere a new arrangement dealing with planetary
limits can't be implemented. Deniers will prevent new
arrangements. We have too much well compensated organized
ignorance for sanity at the present time. The murdering throngs
who scream wearing a mask takes away their 'freedom' won't have
any part in what the planet has to do to survive global heating.
This sad situation of persistent ignorance will remain until
things change and the externalities of technology does some
serious environmental cooking. Then a test begins. Confront
ignorance and make the necessary lifestyle changes or attempt to
maintain our unequal society of mass disparity with decisions
made by a small cadre of uninformed fools as now.
Such will be our test. A test of the survival of our species.
Small cadres of fools don't do well in scenarios of depleting
resources. Small cadres of fools will result in a nuclear winter
and we will go the way of the Myans should that happen. When the
Myans overpopulated they all killed each other. Their cities
became ruins lost in jungle. The earth abided and barren
depleted farmlands returned to jungle. It will happen again
unless action is taken.

If time travel becomes possible, I would like to be a chain
smoker in the old days. Not because cigarettes were affordable,
but because sex scenes like Charlie's were only a kiss and then
cut to them laying back smoking a cigarette. A pack a day would
be ok then.
I didn't know David Martin was all over the net now. Views under
his video when I saw it a couple of weeks ago were a few
thousand, maybe in the tens of thousands.
I think at this point you have to be as guileless as Evie to
still be believing every contradictory edict issued by state
oracles like Fauci, on the premise of saving lives.
Worst case scenario going forward is Fauci and the pharmacos
will net 10b$ /year and none of that is lost in compensation to
anyone killed or maimed in reaction to the so called vaccine,
because they are protected from indemnity. At the same time your
movements are restricted and tracked, which of course is very
good for a caring benevolent govt to remain in control of any
chaos resulting from the aforementioned overshoot.
Best case then is people are progressively immunocompromised
with each booster shot and left overall more infertile, because
you have population reduction without anarchy. That's assuming
anarchy is worse than tyranny, which I do not.
If we are going to keep in place quarantine (inexplicably
inneffective against Delta appearing everywhere), lockdown,
social distancing and mask mandates anyway, the only reason not
to allow people to wait until these jabs are approved and not
just authorised for emergency use, is they will not prove safe
long term. Apparently, no mRNA vaccine ever has been approved.
I find it very suspicious that all officials at the Olympics
currently underway must be jabbed but not athletes, at the same
time all forms of forced coercion to take a treatment that can
not be made mandatory because it is not approved are underway.
Perhaps it's a simple double standard, or maybe a measure like
oxygenation is reduced enough to affect performance and a dearth
of new records being set would not help the cause. If a man in
his prime's Prostate Specific Antigen is left like one over the
hill after treatment, it would not surprise me their maximum
tractive effort in muscle is a little down as well.
It seems like common sense to me that at this point when the
vaccine has been made available to all who want it (after first
being sold as 95% effective in preventing infection, now only in
preventing death; which is nothing unless their cohort is all
over 75 years old) the unvaccinated are a threat only to each
other. They are no threat to their under 18 children unable to
consent, as they rarely become symptomatic. Heart inflammation
which killed at least one after treatment, is a greater risk to
males in that age group, unless a little plumpkin has hit 80kg
by age 8. One such, did die of covid-19.
The data show that delta infects the vaccinated at at least
twice the rate of the unvaccinated. We can expect the same trend
with all future mutations which also become progressively less
lethal. Getting everyone vaccinated is then essential in making
them vulnerable to infection and dependent on every updated
profit generating jab.

[quote]David Martin was all over the net[/quote]
David has been picked up as a cause celeb among people who think
screaming fire in a crowded movie theatre is free speech. I do
not mean picked up in a quantitative way but in a qualitative
way.
I have been watching a lot of two-bit independent media since I
am part of that club. (My Uphill Media Show). Most of them
think David is great but I think David is a lizard. Fortunately
none of the idiots that have picked him up have a high click
rate. So not a lot of damage done fortunately. A useful idiot
preaching to idiots that we have no use for.
