The Long Battle Ahead

Lopsided decisions where an action cannot be undone lead to strong emotional biases. That's clear to see in the case of vaccines. The decision to take it is final. Hence, any subsequent information that suggests a flaw in the decision logic is dismissed as irrelevant, even when the evidence is tied directly to the person in question.

This behavior is on full display these days, with celebrities refusing to lay a connection between their recent vaccination and their subsequent illness. Even when the doctor tells them that their illness is linked to the vaccine, they keep telling everybody to take it. Their logic is that it's for the greater good, so even if they themselves are ill, everybody else is better off. But that argument is false. The greater good does not benefit from the vaccine. Natural immunity trumps vaccines by a factor of 13 to 1. However, all the evidence in the world will not alter their stance any time soon. They will dismiss it for the simple reason that the truth is too much to handle.

Similarly, the elite will not change their stance in the face of evidence contrary to their early decision to cut back on basic human rights and to deceive everyone into thinking that the vaccine is safe when in fact it isn't. They are neck deep in their own mess. They have crossed the line, and they know that an honest Nuremberg trial will have them convicted of crimes against humanity.

The evidence is in and the debate has been settled. Vaccines, mask mandates and lockdowns do more harm than good. However, anyone thinking that the hardships will soon be over is deluding themselves. The elite and their minions are in control, and are likely to stay in control for a long time yet. Not least because they are in the majority. People will vote the criminals back into power in coming elections because they themselves are suffering from decision bias.

Come this September, there will be elections both in Norway and in Portugal, and my wife is predicting that things are likely to become nasty as soon as the elections are over. I agree with her. But that's not a reason to give up. It's all the more reason to hold onto the strategy of attrition warfare. The minions must be demoralized. Wherever they set up their little checkpoints, we must put up a fight. We must actively seek alternatives, and/or install dread into their hearts. Their will to act must be curtailed.

My son and I went to the local park today. There was a guard at the entrance to ensure that everyone entering wear their mask. However, there was no zeal. He stood at a distance from the entrance. He seemed embarrassed about his job. His resolve was but a shadow of what we saw at the start of the pandemic. When I put on my mask of the beast, he looked at me twice. He noticed the message on my don't do drugs T-shirt, and I could see him cringe.

My son told me that he doesn't want to grow up in a world where we'll have to display vaccine passes in order to enter places. He wants to live free of these arbitrary restrictions, and he doesn't want to be stabbed by a needle every so many months. I told him that this battle will be won by his mother and I, and everyone else that sees through the insanity of it all. I hope it's all over in a couple of months, he told me. I had to disappoint him. Wars last longer than that. But things will be good for sure when this blows over. However, that may be as much as two years into the future.

The mask of the beast

Another Victory

The hits against the official narrative keep on coming. The latest good news is found in a fresh study out of Israel. Natural immunity acquired through contact with the virus is 13 times more effective than artificial immunity acquired through vaccination. The logical conclusion from this is that the best strategy to fight the virus is to let healthy people with little to no chance of serious illness interact freely in society so that they can acquire natural immunity. Only the frail need protection.

Masks, lockdowns and vaccines have no benefit, and are only causing harm. However, this doesn't mean that the push for tyranny will stop, because facts only matter to tyrants when they can be used against liberty. This is not the end of the line. It's merely a spanner tossed into the works. It's a skirmish in the ongoing war of attrition. But the balance of power is shifting. It's getting increasingly difficult to argue for vaccine passports, the coveted holy grail of tyranny.

Not only is the virus largely harmless, and leaky vaccines dangerous, most unvaccinated people have natural immunity. We're 13 times less likely to infect granny than vaccinated people. Furthermore, we're less likely to get seriously ill ourselves. It's a win for granny and a win for us. The collectivist argument that we should all give up a portion of our health in order to save granny is destroyed.

Vaccine passports never made much sense. But they make even less sense now. Why give passports to people who are the most likely to infect granny? Vaccine mandates make no sense either. Why force people to take something that's potentially lethal in order to attain sub-par immunity? Their narrative is falling apart. The study indicates that our prediction will come true; the vaccinated will be the most frequently and severely ill in the years to come.

However, this won't deter spin doctors. Propaganda is likely to be turned up another few notches. The politicians are neck deep in their own mess. They have no other alternative but to continue their all out war against liberty. But the end is now visible on the horizon. Everybody will soon seen with their own eyes that the vaccine is a failed experiment. Victory within two flu seasons seems increasingly likely.

A Perfect Arrangement

There's a common complaint among men that women are irrational. They act on impulse without a proper strategy or plan, and this strange behavior occur in all women from time to time. There's no pattern to it, and it's unrelated to intelligence or level of education. There may be exceptions to this, but I've never known a woman that hasn't at times behaved this way.

Literature is full of musings related to this phenomenon. Religious texts discuss it at length. It's such a bewildering and destructive force that it seems to defy all logic. However, on closer scrutiny, this irrational trait has a function. There's a reason for it.

The ideal arrangement between man and woman has the man as the head of the household. There may be exceptions to this, but I've never seen an alternative that came across as happy. Women and men thrive best in households where the woman is the lady and queen, and the man is the king. This is intuitively understood even by kids, where girls want to be princesses and boys want to be protectors.

However, this arrangement comes with a danger to women. If she marries a man who's not in fact a king, or at least a prince, there's a chance that the entire household is put in danger by an error of judgment. Hence, she has to test her husband from time to time, especially when there's a major change in the household, such as a first born child.

The easiest and most direct way to test the king's resolve is by doing something irrational, and this appears to be hardwired into women. The lady of the house announces the intent to do something stupid, like having all her children vaccinated, or buying a new car on credit. She may suddenly tell her husband that she's leaving him. The list of possibilities are endless. But there's only one proper response that a man can make. He has to stand firm. He has to make it clear that whatever she has declared goes against his judgment. But he must allow her room to make her mistake if she keeps insisting. There's no point in saying no if her declared intent is to leave the household or to put herself in debt.

The worst possible responses to a woman's irrational instincts are grumpiness, self pity or pleading. Such responses are intuitively seen as weaknesses, and leads to more doubt and more tests. A firm stance is the only stance, and it must come with no sign of weakness. The man must respond rationally, and tell his wife that if she goes against his judgment, she'll regret it, not because he'll punish her but because her decision is the wrong one. Similarly, moodiness on her side must be met with stoic calm. If her grumpiness draws out in time, ask her what's the matter. But don't respond in kind. A lady can be moody from time to time, but it doesn't befit a king to behave that same way.

A firm stance by the king is invariably rewarded, so there's no reason to fear this kind of conflicts. Having tested her husband and found him to be robust, the lady becomes all the more happy and content. Firm in the knowledge that her husband will stand up to a storm, she can live her life without worry. She can leave the final decisions on various matters to him. She can talk things through with him in the knowledge that he's wise and strong. He is her king and master, and she can love him without fear.

Signs of Hope Everywhere

Little by little, the enemy and their minions are losing their will to fight. The fruits of attrition warfare are starting to appear. Three weeks ago, I saw two police officers breaking strict mask-wearing rules in a restaurant. Today, I saw an officer with his nose poking out well above his mask. These are the same people who diligently apprehended people for walking in a straight line a few months back.

Journalists are breaking ranks too. There was a bit of a stir in Norway a month ago. Now, we have news stories skeptical to the vaccine in major international news networks. Sentiments are changing. We're still a long way from winning the war, but Stalingrad appears to be behind us. The enemy is retreating. To keep up the momentum, we only need to stay cool in the face of their massive propaganda efforts while we chip away on the resolve of their minions.

The very fact that our enemies are doubling down on their propaganda, is in itself a welcomed sign. They are struggling to keep their minions in line. But minions are fickle beings. Even if reasonably convinced, they scurry away at the least sign of resistance. I've noticed that the mere display of a skull or other image related to death makes them uneasy. My local campaign of dread appears to be working, so I plan to embroider such symbols onto more of my shirts. Everyone should have a reference to death displayed discretely or otherwise on their person or clothing. It installs dread in the ranks of the minions. It makes them ineffective tools in the hands of our enemies. 

All of this should be celebrated. We need to celebrate every sign of weakness in our enemies, and we need to make the war itself a fun project to take part in. Never give up an opportunity for fun. Look at the bright side of every news article. Think logically through the consequences of what the enemy is doing. For instance, I live in Portugal where no law is ever enforced with much vigor. Vaccine passports will therefore be a failure, especially if close to 90% are stupid enough to take the vaccine. What's the pint in enforcing something with vigor when just about everybody is on board? After a few weeks of strict enforcement, no-one will give a damn.

Portugal has a long tradition of not enforcing laws through coercion. Laws are followed through obedience, and can be ignored without consequence, provided the will to enforce the law is sufficiently eroded. With erosion already on full display, I don't think there is much to worry about. Even if the enemy manages to secure victory in battle, they will be forced to retreat, and their defeat will be as total as Napoleon's defeat at the hands of the Russians.

Attrition Warfare

My wife keeps reminding me that we're under attack by people who aim to subjugate us. What we are experiencing is war. That's as obvious to me as it is to her. However, we land on two completely different conclusions. She's convinced that they will win due to their superior strength. She's willing to surrender to the needle in the vain hope that this will somehow stop them from taking everything we have, including our boy. I'm convinced that we will win due to our superior moral standing, as well as nature's inevitable erosion of the enemy's will and ability to fight. I refuse to give up even the slightest bit of freedom without a fight.

This difference in opinion has been largely academic until the whole thing blew up over an apparent triviality today. We were in a nearby fishing village, looking for a seafood restaurant, when my wife had the idea that we should go into the local fish market. With no special preference one way or another I went along with her suggestion. However, in order to enter the market, we had to submit to a temperature reading; the one where they put a gun-like temperature reader to our forehead. That changed my mind immediately. I refused to enter.

My wife told me off for being difficult, and I told her off for bending over to every little minion that crosses her way. If she's willing to submit to a temperature reading, what's to stop them from demanding a passport? As long as she keeps submitting to the enemy, they will obviously win.

To win a war, we must at the very least be able to identify the enemy. The lady with the temperature reader is not merely someone trying to make a living. She's a minion of the oppressors. She may not know it herself, but she's a useful idiot. To submit to her would be aid to the enemy, because it opens the door to their next step towards dominion.

Making the situation worse was the fact that there were no shortage of seafood restaurants in the village. It wasn't like we had no choice but to sponsor the oppressors with our money. We could just as well have gone to another restaurant with no temperature reading minion guarding the entrance. Why sponsor the enemy when there are allies willing to serve us?

Having made myself difficult, the whole excursion was cancelled, and we went home without visiting any restaurant. The mood was nasty. But I'm glad this happened. I've been looking for ways to explain the flawed logic of my wife's defeatist attitude, and this gave me an opportunity to do that.

We are at war with the state, and the way such wars are won are through attrition. Every stronghold has to be held for as long as possible before retreat, and any room for expansion has to be taken advantage of. Hence, we must never submit to humiliation unless strictly necessary, and we must never let a chance to claw back freedoms go to waste.

When the state promises to relax mask mandates some time into the future, we must immediately drop the mask, because their signal indicates a lack of will to enforce the mandate. When the state calls us in for vaccination, we must ignore it. Whenever possible, we must weaken the resolve of minions. Peer pressure from friends and relatives must be struck down with truth related to the harmlessness of the virus and the number of people sick from the vaccine. We must drag our feet when pushed and rush forward when opportunity allows us to do so.

Time is on our side. Conviction is fading. People are getting sick from the vaccine, and they are tired of the propaganda. Our mere act of living freely and without concern about the virus engenders inspiration and/or envy. While the mere thought of a booster shot induces depression and fatigue into minions, we can joke about it and let everybody know how happy we are about our vaccine status. We can tell them how easy it is to be free. Simply say no to the vaccine, and ignore the scare mongering. That's all it takes to regain sovereignty of our lives.

A Friend in Need of a Doctor

My friend and name-brother, the notorious opinion machine, and promoter of the vaccine, is in need of a doctor. He's just back from Norway where he got his second Pfizer shot only hours before taking a plane back to Portugal.

Going on a flight shortly after a vaccine shot is not a good idea, at least not from what I've gathered. There's something about spike proteins and low air pressure that just doesn't mix well. Still, I hadn't expected my friend to get ill right away, because the odds are low, even if elevated. However, now that he's asking around for a doctor, we can conclude that something unpleasant is at hand.

I'm sure he'll never admit to a link between the vaccine and his illness. But the thought must have struck him, and I'm sure the thought must have struck everybody else he's been talking to. That's the flip side of promoting the vaccine. People remember the selfies and make a connection when illness strikes.

While this is terrible news for my friend, it adds to my repertoire of real life stories. It provides a backdrop of dread in any future confrontation with mutual friends. Mentioning my mother was not enough to shut up a pushy vaccine zealot back in May. But a mutual friend in need of a doctor may do the trick. Either way, my position is strengthened, and there's added dread in the ranks of the vaccinated minions.

FDA Approval

The Pfizer vaccine has been FDA approved, and the political push to mandate it has grown markedly stronger. The door is now open for universal mandates, similar to those we've been having for smallpox and polio. This is all terrible news. But there's a silver lining. The short term gain for tyranny is likely to come at a great cost to those in power.

First thing to note is that FDA cannot possibly have a comprehensive list of long term side-effects because the vaccine has only been around for about nine months. Another thing to note is that the vaccine is ineffective. It leaks, and is therefore causing mutations. The vaccine is a failure, so the approval of it will serve to taint the FDA's reputation.

With government at the helm of disasters in medicine, economy and military, trust in government is eroding. The more they meddle, the worse it gets. But the short to medium term pain will eventually be made up for in a dramatic rollback of government itself, and this inevitable outcome is what we have to keep an eye on. This has always been the case. Even the Bible describes this with various examples, and the advice to us is to stay alert and nimble, because it's the meek that will inherit the earth.

From a tactical viewpoint, there's a lesson to be learned from this. Never use government statements as a base of any argument. Government institutions makes things up as they go, so the official status of things change as well. To refuse the vaccine on grounds that it's not FDA approved, is now exposed as a poor argument. However, the vaccine is still experimental. We still don't know the long term effect of it, so that argument is still valid.

Strong arguments are based on undeniable facts, including subjective observations. People get sick despite being vaccinated, and we see more people ill from the vaccine than ill from the virus. No-one can argue against this because it's widely known to be true through direct observation.
