Previous post: A thing of beauty…
He thought he kept the universe alone;
For all the voice in answer he could wake
Was but the mocking echo of his own
From some tree-hidden cliff across the lake.
Some morning from the boulder-broken beach
He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.
And nothing ever came of what he cried
Unless it was the embodiment that crashed
In the cliff’s talus on the other side,
And then in the far distant water splashed,
But after a time allowed for it to swim,
Instead of proving human when it neared
And someone else additional to him,
As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush–and that was all.
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

About the time that John Kerry (illegally) visited Iran, I believe this plot was hatched. China had problems with the covid and Iran has had a tough time. I believe that the Democrats, Iran, and China all had a hand in it. The only way they think that Trump voters would peel away from Trump would be getting the economy to collapse.
I think it is a mistake to make these claims. They don’t age well. Look at what people were saying back in April when the total deaths in the U.S. were under 5000. Their comments look pretty stupid and uninformed today. How does he reconcile Herma Cain’s recent death? Whay, he was already on his deathbed or it was all a lie and Mr. Cain is vacationing somewhere. How does he reconcile what happened in Italy or Belgium? Even Sweden has a very high death rate and they are not all in nursing homes. In 12-18 months we will better know what the stats are. But to make proclamations or conspiracy theories with so little facts known but yet while over a 1000 a day are dying from Covid is foolish. By the way, for what it’s worth, our death rate in four months has gone WAY past what the common flu is in a year. And it looks like it is not slowing down. Sure there is politicization of Covid but don’t conflate that with “everything is a lie”.
Simpleton sed: “…our death rate in four months has gone WAY past what the common flu is…”

We we can see where this suckerass gets it’s information from.
Someone hand me that 12 gauge over there….
This looks pretty damning to me: https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-2-69 I’m shocked this study is still on the net
Damning to Dr. Falsi, anyway. This man needs to be prosecuted for every Covid related death in this country.
Forgot to mention in previous comment: The Virology Journal is the official publication of Dr. Falsi’s very own NIH
Donald Trump and I have something in common: we both know 4 people who have died from Covid. And I share the observation he made that in all his life he’s never known anybody who’s died from the flu even though it does happen. Anecdotal? Sure. However, we do know that Covid is much more contagious than the flue. A small percentage may die, but a small percentage of a big number is still a big number. And I’m not so ready to dismiss the deaths of people with underlying conditions. My wife is 68 and has high blood pressure. There is no reason for her blood pressure alone to shorten her life. And some who don’t die suffer from a number of disabling effects.
I have no doubt that this disease is being used by the Democrats to undermine the President’s popularity. And there’s a lot of misinformationout there. But let’s sort the wheat from the chaff when assessing it’s lethal and disabling capabilities.
Nope, I don’t know 4 people that died of the Kungflu. I don’t know one person that died of the Kungflu.
I do know lots of folks that have given up living to keep from dying, and that’s rather sad.
Since they re-opened where my wife works after the first shut-down, 11 people supposedly have tested “positive cases”. No one has died. The worst 2 wwere akin to a mild flu. My wife hasn’t come down with it. I haven’t come down with it. Our family hasn’t come down with it. This doesn’t include the 3 through family mutual friends who tested “positive cases” yet had no symptoms. And our family and mutual friends mingle, and we don’t wear face diapers.
“It’s worse than the flu!”
Well, when you deliberately stack old folks homes with Corona-Cooties patients among people who already have a weakened immune system, and have 1 or more comorbidities, expect them to get infected and die. And how about… remember all those doctors and nurses proclaiming “Stop intubating/ventilating the Corona-Cooties patients! You’re killing them!” And they were called kooks and removed from social media platforms?
Which reminds me: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Vetoes Bill to Prevent COVID-19 Patients From Being Housed in Nursing Homes
And remember, doctors after doctors and nurses after nurses proclaiming “Hydroxycloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc works!” These are doctors and nurse who are doing it in real time and watching their patients recover. But no. The Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex proclaim they too, are all kooks.
BTW, if I can go to the NIH website, look around, try different key words, and find Hydroxycloroquine studies on the Corona-Cooties, so can you all.
Anyone want to take a guess on how Chris “Hydroxycloroquine doesn’t work” Cuomo recovered from the Cooties? Cinchona bark extract.
The Corona-Cooties tests are notoriously inaccurate.
Everyone in our family takes C, D3, Zinc, and Magnesium. My wife and I use to travel, we have Hydroxycloroquine IF we need it.
And don’t worry, 99.96% of Americans are surviving the worst global pandemic in history.
I remember when all the usual’s were proclaiming: “Mealleons! Mealleons are going to die!”
Go ahead and get your Corona-Cooties Vaccine people. And forever change, what makes you, you. Oh. Right! You’ve all read the actual scientific papers on that right? Right? But, but… the TeeVee people said Fraud Fachi and Bill Gates said!
Blue Collar Logic is a great channel!
If Covid is such a big deal, so contagious and deadly, why isn’t it being treated like that? Why do we have governors picking and choosing which businesses to close? Why do we have certain drugs, that work well in other countries for it, banned in this one? Why are we still putting infected people in care centers and nursing homes? Why are individuals being restricted in having private funerals, but big political ones are okay?
The numbers are being pumped up, sometimes by positive tests for people that weren’t even tested. Hospitals get more money for covid patients so they tweak the numbers. Most of the country has a pretty low case load, if you take NY and NJ out of the stats. You know, the places where they didn’t shut down mass transit or even try to disinfect it regularly. The co-worker that had it said he would rather have it than the flu. Most people that test positive stay home and take over the counter meds to deal with it.
