Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The cabal that was running the Biden presidency, sure knew that the truth was going to come out regarding the Great Covid panic. Doctor (I use that term with disgust) Birx said she knew all about the vaccine and its inability to protect against infection. Those that participated in Covid crimes against humanity got their immunity: a presidential pardon for all crimes and misdemeanors. I pray that they are sorry, and have remorse for what they have done.

I love Scott. Love his podcast, have watched for 6 years. Twice a day during the pandemic.

While much of what he says in the video correct, he leaves other things he stated out.

Plus he continues to ignore the influence of his persuasion and celebrity on others decisions. After the vax he alluded to how smart he was getting it in many ways. It became a focal point of his discussion, rarely directly but often indirectly.

Why? I am sure to help bolster his own feelings about doing it, to some extent.

My wife wanted me to get the shot because, after all, if someone as smart as Scott got it, come on now.

I didn't succumb to that, but how many others did? If he didn't want to be complicit in the effects of others health he should have kept his vax status and analysis of his decision to himself.

He does have blood on his hands in this one, no matter how hard he argues neutrality and logic of his "personal" decision.

Religion fundamental to climate movement... yea, nothing quite like the cults of Gaia worship or downright Satanic ritual to bolster the old climate grifters future compensation.

Vax decision analysis... like anyone else, I make risk judgements whether medical, financial or any other risk assessment. Mine focused on local cases of which were none that varied from regular flu. The tip off was seeing video of Chinese collapsing in the streets. They needed to employ far better special effects and stunt professionals. After that I put away my P100 masks, wipes, and gloves. The MSM is not your friend, they are panic creators. Observe their current measles coverage.

DOGE protests... similar to kids having their allowance cut back due to failure to do designated chores.

I didn't get the shot because what they were saying, wasn't adding up - starting with the idea that kids ought to be getting it. It didn't add up and I wasn't buying it.

Once the public policy nightmare starting getting the incessant prodding for conformance in everybody staying terrified and staying home, I only became more resolute about not buying it, because it was clear that imbeciles were making rules, not health experts.

And it didn't take long to have that skepticism reinforced: All of a sudden, protesting in huge crowds jammed together on the streets was perfectly acceptable and No Health Risk At All, because 'racism' - while going to church was still an arrest-able offense.

These experts were right to conclude that Americans are sometimes stupid herd animals about following rules, but they were wrong to think they wouldn't remember these circumstances and get steamed up about it.
