Bevin, who posts from Canada, I think, has been a favourite of mine for some time. I highly-knowledgeably, steadfast, old-style socialist. His posts are always worth seeking out. Imagine my chagrin, then, to find an atypical foaming rant in the btls of the bMoA post that I linked in another post here at 5F, just below. Sad to see Bevin in the same - astonishingly deluded - company of such otherwise highly savvy people like Andrei at Saker and b at MoA. b doesn’t seem to be doing unadmitted censorship of that particular thread of his - so far. But just in case, as before, I copy my reply to Bevin here:
SELFQUOTE:
@ Bevin, 26
Dear B: One of the reasons I scroll through btl comments in places like MoA is in hope of finding your inputs, which I regard as some of the best anywhere: A clear-sighted socialist - in the dictionary-English meaning, rather the than the Illiterate-Populist-US-English meaning - and an unwavering supporter of basic socialist good-sense. Excellent posts always - till now…
So - sad to see your huge blind spot on display here - right alongside b, and Andrei at Saker. All suckered by the ‘Ohmygod! Terrifying global mass-killer pandemic’ propaganda BS. Simply astonishing!
Can I just request one thing from you, B:
Can you find - anywhere in the world - an authentic, isolated, fully-PURIFIED (sic!) sample of the alleged Corona-19 virus? In anyone’s hands, any research facility, government agency, whatever, and actually authenticated (by Koch’s Postulates) as the real physical item - not just an in-silico made-up mirage?
If you can find just one place that can confidently insist - and demonstrate - that it has actual, real, demonstrable physical samples of the alleged virus, then you’ll be doing the world a great service. No-one else has been able to find a real sample of the alleged object, so far. Lots of waffle based on current - highly, highly questionable - orthodox virus theory; but no actual samples. Odd, don’t you think?
A blind spot for you to catch up on, B. Look seriously into the growing group of - appropriately qualified - renegades who are challenging the whole basis of ‘virus’ theory. And see whether you can actually answer their challenge satisfactorily. You may smell one of those times in history when a widely-believed conventional-wisdom idea (phlogiston, for example; or phrenology, or the geo-centric solar-system) suddenly crashes into history’s dustbin, as it collides with new rocks of reality. The whole ‘Established ScienceTM’ of ‘virology’ is involved in just such a collision, right now. Don’t blot your - excellent - copybook, B, by getting suckered by the lying, manipulative propaganda around the covid scam, which you call out so accurately elsewhere.
BTW, since the ‘covid’ scam began, I’ve had two encounters with what could have been the covid flu - the real, rather paltry thing, rather than the monstrous demon of the propaganda miasma: Once when I was 79, again when I was 80. Like another older commenter here, I too treated them both as the usual annual attempt by Winter colds/flus to bother me. They failed, as invariably these past 25+ years, when hit with my self-prescribed treatment of mega-doses of vitamin C (without any other assistance). Gone in no time, as usual, and without making me even slightly ill. And since then, no hint of a repeat. My eight-hundred pound, hyper-fit, constantly-exercised immune system at work, you see, wielding its all-defeating C club against all comers, without ‘benefit’ of hospitals, poison-stabs, or any other help at all.
Covid? What’s that, huh!
But all that said, respect as ever, B! - RhG
