The intersection of Covid-19 and the other road through that yellow taken by me came foremost to mind and I thought back to Nesta Webster little read and reviled by experts instantly. I am lucky in my unhealthy life to be a healthy creative free spirit. I could have had my father's most interesting life including how he and my mother met. As an aside I recall mentioning this to my friend Chuck in Sacramento in 1984 who had been a prison psychologist in Vacaville and who had an MA in Philosophy from San Jose State when Bertrand Russell taught in the 50’s. He laughed and said I had rediscovered sociology. I laughed pretty hard and exhaled harder. Even then good weed was expensive so I got cheaper but Chuck had the best.
Today I rediscovered my rediscovery. Kaiser demands I have a PCR test 3 days before outpatient surgery to remove a kidney stone causing reversible kidney damage. Chuck suffered from a misdiagnosed Kidney stone and drank himself out of pain for years. He had kidney damage and he had polio and was from a white okie farmworker family. We met when I was paperback buyer for Books Inc. He haunted the Remainder section and we became fast friends being only 25 years apart in age. So I am not a drinker. Nor a midnight toker. I am more sober than most likewise situated and given Kaiser I took action in rage.
I will simply find the money for TCM and hope that reviewing my medical history and my CT the doctor has a plan of action not needing a Covid test.
I wrote to Member Services with a Suggestion.
I briefly stated the facts of the bogus virus and bogus social distancing required to this hour, the mandatory masking, and formerly the demand for being vaccinated and now the PCR test 72 hours before. I gently used strong language about evidence medicine and bogus science. They thanked me. Told me they'd review.
I know and my local and non local friends do not want to know the logic of masses and men of rationality whose round heads have a straight line view and a single vision of one direction to the fabulous unfathomable of all that they see that they need.
Gary North - following section, beginning on page 423, Nesta Webster describes a widely discussed and widely accepted program of the Jacobin revolutionaries associated with Robespierre. It was a program of systematic de-population by the government: literal extermination. The Jacobins planned to murder as much as half of the French population. This fact is never discussed in graduate school seminars. Here is her discussion. I omit her footnotes.

But could a nation of 25,000,000 be thus transformed? To the regenerators of France it seemed extremely doubtful; already the country was rent with dissensions, and any scheme for universal contentment seemed impossible of attainment. Moreover, the plan of dividing things up into equal shares presented an insuperable difficulty, for it became evident that amongst a population of this size there was not enough money, not enough property, not enough employment, not even at this moment enough bread to go round; no one would be satisfied with his share, and instead of universal contentment, universal dissatisfaction would result. What was to be done? The population was too large for the scheme of the leaders to be carried out successfully, therefore either the scheme must be abandoned or the population must he diminished.
To this conclusion the surgeons operating on the State had at last been brought. In vain they had amputated the gangrened limb of the nobility and the clergy, had paralysed the brain by attacking the intellectual classes, had turned (as in Aesop's fable) upon the stomach, that is to say, the industrial system, by which the whole body of the State was fed, and denied it sustenance--all these means to restore health to the State had failed, and they were now reduced to a last and desperate expedient: the size of the whole body must be reduced. In other words, a plan of systematic depopulation must be carried out all over France. https://www.garynorth.com/public/13370.cfm
Kinda amusing that the governing body during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror period was called Comité de Salut Public. The Public Health Committee.
