Superbowl Sunday

I never cared for sports. I wondered why other people did acquire the taste after playing them in school. I did not. I never played football though my friends did. I was a tennis player until a bee stung my tongue by the courts due to my tossing a soda into the can and bugging it. Had bad luck with stinging insects most of my life. Got mixed up with some at age 6 re-enacting the Civil War at little Roundtop in Gettysburg thinking the wooden soldier’s empty coat was when it was not. My imagination and pain did I feel fairly reflect on the carnage my parents were curious about though it was a Union wooden soldier.

Plato's Socrates compares the population at large to a strong but near-sighted shipowner whose knowledge of seafaring is lacking. The quarreling sailors are demagogues and politicians, and the ship's navigator, a stargazer, is the philosopher. The sailors flatter themselves with claims to knowledge of sailing, though they know nothing of navigation, and are constantly vying with one another for the approval of the shipowner so to captain the ship, going so far as to stupefy the shipowner with drugs and wine. Meanwhile, they dismiss the navigator as a useless stargazer, though he is the only one with adequate knowledge to direct the ship's course.

In The Grumbling Hive, Mandeville describes a bee community that thrives until the bees decide to live by honesty and virtue. As they abandon their desire for personal gain, the economy of their hive collapses, and they go on to live simple, "virtuous" lives in a hollow tree.

Yes and hard to know as I reflect on not caring about athletics or organization sports or organization man for that matter if this non interest is mainly from weed or stargazing or abandoning desire for personal gain in favor of political engagement to live my simple, "virtuous" life in a hollow city of empty buildings and ghostly people in a world without trees clear cut for timber China needs. During her annual state of the city address Tuesday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed proclaimed that the city's downtown, “as we know it,” is “not coming back.” 

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb

You know better but I know him

Like I told you, what I said

Steal your face right off your head

Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone

He's gone, like a steam locomotive

Rolling down the track, he's gone, he's gone

And nothing's going to bring him back, he's gone

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies.

Theme: Media Disinformation, Science and Medicine

We have witnessed a long list of unprecedented intrusions into medical practice, including attacks on medical experts, destruction of medical careers among doctors refusing to participate in killing their patients and a massive regimentation of health care, led by non-qualified individuals with enormous wealth, power and influence.

For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining medical treatments based not on accurate scientifically based or even experience based information, but rather to force the acceptance of special forms of care and “prevention”—including remdesivir, use of respirators and ultimately a series of essentially untested messenger RNA vaccines.

For the first time in history medical treatment, protocols are not being formulated based on the experience of the physicians treating the largest number of patients successfully, but rather individuals and bureaucracies that have never treated a single patient—including Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, EcoHealth Alliance, the CDC, WHO, state public health officers and hospital administrators.[23 , 38]

The media (TV, newspapers, magazines, etc), medical societies, state medical boards and the owners of social media have appointed themselves to be the sole source of information concerning this so-called “pandemic”.

Websites have been removed, highly credentialed and experienced clinical doctors and scientific experts in the field of infectious diseases have been demonized, careers have been destroyed and all dissenting information has been labeled “misinformation” and “dangerous lies”, even when sourced from top experts in the fields of virology, infectious diseases, pulmonary critical care, and epidemiology.

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride
Hot as a pistol but cool inside
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

Now, he's gone, now he's gone, Lord, he's gone
He's gone, like a steam locomotive
Rolling down the track, he's gone, he's gone
And nothing's going to bring him back, he's gone
