On Good and Evil
The oldest law of the internet is Godwin's Law. When a Hitler/Nazi comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever made the comparison loses whatever debate is in progress.
This is what I thought of when I read this headline: This Is 1938, With the Nazis! First, They Came for the Unvaccinated!
First, "the papers." Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports are just like 1938, when the Gestapo demanded papers from every German.Republicans asked for "papers" from migrants who had broken into our country. Criminals. Democrats said, "No, that's racism." Republicans asked for "papers" once every two years for federal elections, to prove you have a right to vote. Democrats said, "No, that's racism."
Now Democrats want American citizens, not illegal aliens, not criminals, but patriots born in this country, to produce papers 24/7.
Aside from the fact that there are no vaccine mandates, and that migrants are most certainly asked for identification, supposedly not asking for ID disproves his point.
But then this isn't exactly a deep article. Nietzsche isn't worried that someone is going to prove his Beyond Good and Evil wrong. Nor does it appear that Nietzsche will be challenged in the near future. Political rhetoric in the U.S. today is simplistic, bordering on childlike.
Matt Taibbi noticed this as well.
In the social media age, our conception of both good and evil has been dulled to the point where the horror the book represents, and what it says about the absurd nature of human morality, has become invisible to modern readers. The flip side of the woke revolution is that it’s so trivialized the idea of evil that a generation is growing up unable to see and understand the depths of the real thing.
Scan Twitter this morning and you’ll see a smorgasbord of news stories superficially concerned with human villainy. The news for years now has been obsessively interested in taxonomic surveys of Good and Bad people, constantly separating one from the other and galvanizing the former to attack the latter, who are identified and attacked with machine regularity: R. Kelly, Bret Kavanaugh, Trump, Flannery O’Connor, Chris Pratt, Trump again, the unvaccinated, etc.
Taibbi was speaking of Andrew Cuomo, and how liberals have expressed such outrage about his sexual harassment, while showing little interest in his criminal role in the deaths of thousands of elderly in his state. It reminds me of how liberals were so outraged when Trump banned Muslim refugees from the middle east, while showing no concern about the fact that those very same refugees were fleeing our bombs.
It's easy and popular to point out how the liberals have gone nuts in recent years.
What everyone seems to have forgotten is that conservatives went nuts first.
Remember when Benghazi was the worst contemporary scandal in America, despite Republicans inability to articulate what the scandal was exactly?
Remember when Colin Kaepernick was being so disrespectful to America for the crime of kneeling, despite the fact that there is literally no other instance in your life when kneeling is a sign of disrespect?
Republicans like to call liberals snowflakes for being so easily offended. Yet every year Republicans have a panic attack when someone says "Happy Holidays".
It’s bad enough that in the Internet age the presence of a functioning cell phone camera during 15-30 seconds of lamentable judgment can consign one person to a life of infamy while someone who traffics in genuinely evil choices on a daily basis, dumping deadly toxins or doing PR for dictators or governing the State of New York by tribute, can still win Man of the Year or a key to a city with a donation or two.
How are both liberals and conservatives so tone deaf to their own hypocrisy? How are they both so unable to put things into perspective?
I believe the answer to those questions are directly related to our simplistic and childlike view on good and evil.
Let's consider the first article, describing anti-covid measures to appeasing the Nazis in 1938. Literally any time someone argues against going to war, it's Munich in 1938 all over again. It's never ANY other place or time in history.
What's more, even if the allies hadn't appeased Hitler in 1938, it wouldn't have prevented WWII, and the allies were in no condition to go to war in 1938, so the comparison means absolutely nothing in reality.
The dispute today comes down to freedom, and that's a subject where people's thinking ability gets turned off.
For instance, Republicans like to equate capitalism with freedom. They never ask the question, "At what point during the workday, when the boss tells me what to do, when to do it, and where to do it, do I tell myself 'This is freedom'?"
Republicans also equate any gun control with tyranny, despite the fact that if you oppose violent felons being able to buy guns, then you support gun control too.
Both liberals and conservatives revere the Star-Spangled Banner as a symbol of freedom, despite it glorifying the killing of any slaves who are fighting for their freedom.
But today's tyranny is wearing a mask during a pandemic.
Hey, it's just the flu! Yes, it is just the flu. A flu that's killed half a million American lives.
Hey, it's only killing old and/or sickly people. Yes, so?
Hey, it's my body. Forcing me to wear a mask infringes on my freedom.
I'll grant that wearing a mask is a pain. But this is where you draw the line? Really?
We are living in the most oppressive surveillance state in all of history. We are living in the largest prison state in the world. Our 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments have been under attack for decades.
But wearing a mask is your red line, huh?
Comments
Powerful!
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Really?
Is the government injecting experimental shots into the bodies of unwilling citizens like the Nazis?
I seriously doubt it.
And are you really going to compare today to the Holocaust?
Because if you are then you are just proving my point.
So I'm hoping that you are being sarcastic.
@gjohnsit
I see several paragraphs of the Nuremberg Code being violated with the way the govt. is handling the experimental mRNA shots. Also, though Paul Craig Roberts may seem extreme, the CDC link at the end of his paragraph is frightening:
“The CDC has come up with a plan to shield “high-risk” people by moving them into “green zone” camps where “they would have minimal contact with family members.” Who is designated “high-risk”? The front people for the internment camp plan are the elderly with co-morbidities. But the vaccination propaganda defines “high-risk individuals” as the unvaccinated. The camps will be for the unvaccinated. You will be able to stay out of the camps by getting vaccinated. No, this is not a “conspiracy theory.” Here is the CDC document on the CDC’s own website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/global-covid-19/shielding-appr... “
Anya
Let's be clear here
We are talking about the Holocaust. The Holocaust!
If ever you are uncertain if your position is hyperbolic, you should ask yourself this question: "Am I comparing some situation to the Holocaust?"
If the answer is 'yes', then you are being hyperbolic.
Wow
Are agree, gimme liberty or give me breate!
Edward Snowden is funny as sh*t
For those people who believe that getting a vaccine with microchip them.
It's obvious Snowden
has been away from America too long.
He hasn't heard of Project Jumpstart. (As yet it's not refined enough to make a connection to satellites w/o using the scanner at your local Home Hardware.)

Just think of the other benefits. This could also do away with point of sales purchases, bank cards, driver's licenses, airplane ticketing, keys for your home, illegal aliens - the list goes on and on.
Reposting from the other day,
because it fits whether you are serious or not. From 1967, just showing that everything old is indeed new again...[video:https://youtu.be/PebCB0IIANI]
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
I think we may be closer
to that than most people realize.
What movie is that?
It looks great.
It is
"The President's Analyst", James Coburn, 1967, and it is one of my all-time favorite films: it takes the rampant paranoia of the Cold War and maps it all onto The Phone Company. It is broad, stinging satire, and was brilliantly done. Which is why it didn't even achieve cult status until perhaps the 90s. It is available via streaming, and it is highly recommended.
The creation and reinforcement of paranoia as a tool for societal management is still one of the primary go-to mechanisms in use by the oligarchy. All you need is a boogeyman. The Phone Company back then, the RushinChinezeAlbanians/vaccines now- everything old is new again.
There are no chips in the vaccines. Source: I am a professional microprocessor designer, currently very active in the art, and conversant in the current state of the technology.
The smallest injectable RFID tag at this point is 1.4mm diameter, and goes in via a 1.8mm diameter needle (basically, a freakin' howitzer barrel). If they were going to shoot you up with one of these, you can believe me when I say that *you'd know it.* Here's the previous generation of the technology: there's a reason they take your pets into the back room when they implant these, because it makes a very large hole and would hurt like a bastard, and the sight of the needle alone would scare most pet owners away.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, is clandestinely injecting RFID chips into the unwary members of the general public without their permission or knowledge. The technology simply does not exist at this time, and isn't likely to exist in my lifetime. There is a minimum size required for the antenna (the copper coil on the ferrite slug in the pictured device), and it is *big*- far too big to fit through the 24ga needle used for the vaccines.
Sorry if that offends anyone: but this particular trope is indeed pure, unadulterated fantasy- even if it is (marginally) closer to reality today than it was in 1967.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
They make them smaller now
Sure! Cool technology.
Now, productize it. Make it implantable, which is to say put it (and its antenna, which is not integrated onto the chip itself) into some sort of a container that is biologically inert- like the sealed glass tube used on the current implantable devices.
But oh, wait: it operates in the 860-960MHz band, which is a real problem: RF in that band only penetrates tissues to a very shallow depth, perhaps 1cm. And the RF has to not only penetrate in to power the device, but it has to propagate back out (essentially, via variations in the standing-wave ratio) to allow it to be detected by the transmitter in order to receive and decode what is sent. So it'd have to be shallow- ideally, right on the surface. It can't be placed in the deep intramuscular regions (which is where the vaccines go, 2-3cm down). Why implant it if you have to cook the recipient to read it? They will notice!
The existing implantable devices operate in the 100-200KHz range specifically to allow them to be buried intramuscularly, and even so they can only be read from about 6-12" away at the max. The lower the RF frequency, the deeper the penetration into the tissues.
Why do I know this? I once designed a system using RFID tags to allow a client to inventory merchandise (in this case, pallets full of stacked drywall wallboard- not a particularly sexy application) as they passed by a monitoring station on a forklift, and later on freight cars as they left the factory. It was important to the client that they be able to detect the state of cure of the wallboard as well as inventorying the product, so I went with a moisture-sensitive design, similar to this.
The tag was 5" x 1/2", which was all antenna- the RFID chip die was only 400ux300u (that teeny little black dot in the middle). The system failed, and was ultimately abandoned except for in-factory inventory use, because the 800 MHz RF energy was absorbed by rain- so it could only be used on the flatcars in sunny weather. Oh, well.
But that was just me. If you want something to really get upset about, you should know that (for a period of time) every single article of merchandise in any Wal-Mart had an RFID tag attached to it.
Every one of them. Many (if not most) of them still do. That was part of a grand scheme by Wal-Mart management to completely eliminate cashiers and optical scanners, by having customers walk through an RFID portal, where their bill would be tallied and presented to them for payment. It was also intended as a loss prevention mechanism, since shoplifters wouldn't know where the tags were and would very likely be detected as they walked out.
You can tell how well it worked by looking at how many Wal-Marts have no checkstands any more, and how they no longer use Knogo dye tags attached to high-value items like clothing.
But hey, you probably still have Wal-Mart blue jeans with the tags stuck into the seams, where the 800MHz RF isn't attenuated at all. Think about that. *That's* what the NCSU device is intended for...
I have zero love for, and trust in, Da Gummint. I'm still really pissed at them for putting an RFID tag into my latest passport at renewal (they've been doing it since 2007)- not because it is there, but because the data it contains is completely unencrypted. Which was an unutterably stupid design choice, but par for the course for Da Gummint.
But this "vax-puts-chips-into-you" trope is a fantasy, even though it apparently is a very acceptable and even appealing fantasy for many. Argumentum ad populam doesn't make it any less a fantasy. It just shows that there are a great many people with no understanding of the technology whatsoever, just waiting for a demagogue to lead them astray.
I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, but that part of the current vaccination controversy is too laughable to let stand. But don't let me talk you out of a good paranoid fantasy, though. If you believe that this is all true, then by Golly it is true for you, and you are absolutely free to live in a belief system of your own creation. Amurka, hoo rah!
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
I didn't say that they were injecting these chips
surreptitiously with the vaccines. I know that the current reports are complete nonsense.
But what I am saying is the technology to do so is rapidly being developed and will become commonplace sooner than we realize. That's why I put in the video from Sweden.
Just look at what is going on with AI in facial recognition, phone tracking and digital currency. Half the population is now willing to log into their cell phones and computers using a scan of their face. Apple is now scanning everyone's iPhones using AI to check for child porn. Do you think that these companies can be trusted to not use this information for ulterior motives.
You're right:
bad things can happen someday, and for those bad things to happen, somebody may do them for some reason. Shoot, they may even make money at it. And, as I've pointed out, these bad things have been amply predicted in pop culture daily for for a long time- certainly since well before the movie I refer to above was made in 1967. Heinlein's "If This Goes On" comes to mind, and it was originally a serial that was published starting in 1940. And it was hardly the first.
I choose not to see that many boogeymen under my bed, and around every corner, especially on technical issues that I understand. The horrific things my government is doing to people are right out in public, visible to the world.
Bad things are happening now. RFID chips are not one of them. Watch the movie, if you care, and then compare and contrast many of the issues they focus on to what is actually happening today (you'll like the mugging scene).
Conditions right now are absolutely bad, and worsening. No question. But I plead with the public at large to please, please avoid issuing blanket condemnations of technology, medicine, and engineering as they try to find ways to condemn the actual bad things that are happening. And especially, I plead with the public at large to resist the temptation to invent new bad things to worry about, and moreover to convince others to worry about. The boogeymen don't need any further encouragement: people are already too scared to look under the bed.
And that's my last word on this entire topic: everyone's minds are made up. Argue away in good health, and with my blessing.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
This is a good example of why I don't take this seriously
Come on man, do your research
The chip IS injectable
as part of Project Jumpstart as an option. It is similar as used in tagging pets. A binary code of 36 bits is sufficient to label every individual on the face of the earth.

By the way
it would be pointless to put the data on a RFID chip just for data transfer if they weren't going to inject it. It would be much more economical to just scan or peel off the standard optical bar code that has been pre-printed on the syringe which identifies product, lot number, expiry date, etc.
Whenever I get blood tests they print a series of custom optical bar code labels that the nurse doing the testing then peels off to attach to the individual vials to identify me to the lab. Any injections have optical bar code labels on the labels they then peel off and stick on my record to show I have received them.
It all starts by entering ONE code - my health number. They then confirm by asking my name, birth date and phone number to confirm what they have on the computer.
It is only a matter of time until they get the populace used to an RFID.
I read the document
You have miss-characterized it. The document provides suggested guidelines that might be used for low resource sites like refugee camps with relatively few high-risk individuals. The notion is to separate high risk individuals (e.g. the elderly) into separate, relatively small areas (e.g. schools or community buildings) where their physical interactions with people likely to carry the virus can be limited. (They could wave or chat with their families a few feet away but not hug them.) Of course, vaccination would more or less eliminate the need for these "green zones."
Powerful ? Lame is the word I'd use.

Then I was offered to be the in-house first ever privately owned, digital telephone switch operated in Oregon (Dimension 2000). AT&T trained me on site; our VP was regarded as a visionary; I had control down to the machine level (negotiated level of private control, meant fewer tech interventions and money savings for the college). The phone system was like an extension of me. I loved my machine. At the time Ma Bell was being broken up and I wanted my own phone system in Camp Sherman.
Then this movie - The President's Analyst - Nixon was the prez, came out and I laughed my socks off. I felt like the ultimate insider.
Unfortunately, much of the attitude if not the technology is here, and I'm alive to see it. Blech.

The irony behind modern "Good and Evil"
In a world where the Third Reich is revered (remember, maltheism is a form of worship) as our "Gold Standard of Evil", the modern concept of "Good and Evil" is derived from the very black-and-white perversion of traditional mythology that inspired the Nazis themselves!:

I have been working from home at my job since a year before the pandemic. Nevertheless, based on the Team Spirit of Everybody Helping Save Lives, if I do not allow somebody to inject stuff into my body, I will be fired as of September 1. My job has zero public safety duties and there is no reason on earth for me to be in personal contact with anybody. But the Good Citizenship Hysteria is far more important to my employer than my personal qualms about what goes into my body.
So I am quitting my job. Luckily I am able to retire. None of my colleagues are.
As I retire about three or four years ahead of my original intention, I do not take any comfort in the idea that it was just my employer and not the Government itself that is trying to violate my personal autonomy. It does, I concede, constitute a significant distinction from Nazi Germany.
So far.
That quaint concept of personal autonomy is now known by clever science and medical experts on the internet as Freedumb.
What a perfect distillation of fascist ambition -- define freedom as stupidity.
Is this a great pandemic or what?
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
Health care workers
and front-line workers have had various vaccine and mask mandates for decades.
It's not something new.
I haven't heard of any vaccine mandates elsewhere. Mask mandates, yes. But I don't need to tell you that vaccines =! masks.
The current mandated vaccines
have a long history of efficacy and safety. They've gone through extensive testing for decades and more. The mRNA and adenovirus-based vaccines have not had this extensive testing and they are completely different in function from the current ones. These 'vaccines' manipulate the genetic structure of host cells in the body in order for them to express viral antigens and therefore could be better considered as gene therapy.
These gene therapies are all under Emergency Use Authorization and therefore cannot be mandated by the Federal Government.
One of the most insidious aspects of this current situation that scares me, is how far the goal posts have been shifted since the outbreak of the virus a year and a half ago.
Do you have a reference for this?
I'm curious where you got this idea. It's not true in the least.
References for you
Normal vaccines use the entire virus (protein subunit vaccines use just the spike) that is killed or attenuated and then is injected into your body. This material then circulates in the lymphatic system where it is recognized by your immune system. This material is not taken up by the normal cells in your body.
The gene based vaccines are actually absorbed by the cells in your body by different methods. They then commandeer these cells to produce the modified spike from the coronavirus - called the 'S' protein (red spikes sticking out of the virus in diagram). These S proteins are exuded from the cell surface and then presented to your immune system to deal with appropriately.
Sorry, No...
You said the mRNA vaccines alter the genetic structure of the cell. They do not. This is in no way gene therapy. For that, one alters the genomic DNA in the nucleus.
I did not say they
ALTER the genetic structure.
I said they MANIPULATE the cell's genetic machinery to produce a foreign substance. If the cell had no nucleus with genes or ribosomes or cytoplasm (all materials originally constructed by and from your genes) the vaccines would not be able to work as intended.
We appear to have a failure in scientific vocabulary going on..
And perhaps (I hope not?) a bit of hyperbolic explanations. This is to the point though that it pretty clear that your mind is made up and I don't feel the need to change it. Some last explanations though..
You did say manipulate and not alter, and for that I apologize, but either way you were talking about "manipulating the genetic structure of the cell".
A little background: I'm a scientist. Ph.D in the late 80's in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a University researcher for 30years. I worked on infectious disease early on, including vaccine/antigen design, and more recently RNA structure and detailing how RNA binding proteins recognize their target RNA. A lot of science is learning the precise vocabulary in ones chosen field. And a good way to get in a lot of trouble is to mis-state or overstate what the data says. So, as an example, to a scientist the term "genetic structure" has a much more precise meaning than how you are using it. If you had left out the word genetic, it would have been mostly ok. The mRNA is manipulated by the cell's machinery to produce the protein antigen. The cell's genetic structure is not manipulated.
And again, this is *not* gene therapy as scientists would use the term. Yes, there are papers out there in the popular press (unsigned in the reference you provide above) that claim such. If you care to look, there are also a number of articles in the popular press that explain why this should not be considered gene therapy. Words matter in science. A lot. I'm semi-retired now and a part-time farmer, so I've got no dog in this fight except as a citizen. But hyperbole in science will always elicit a knee jerk reaction from me. Sorry, it's trained in.
Peace.
Scientific papers say otherwise.
If you look at the diagram I included you will notice that the viral vector vaccine inserts a strand of DNA into the nucleus as an episome.
Here's two peer reviewed and published papers:
After decades of bothsiderism
everything has 2 sides, with roughly equal standing. Thank Fox and Limbaugh, and dems ditching the fairness doctrine, for how we receive "facts" about everything. Throw in hefty doses of whataboutism and all reality not experienced directly is fluid. After all, Saddam blew up the World Trade Center on 9/11 after throwing those preemie babies out of incubators, and nobody infringed on the rights of AIDs sufferers back in the 80's. No Nazi mask discrimination there.
I still think modern "capitalism" has invaded how we think and act. Business used to be about actual products. Value was inherent in the business as a total. Today the only use of a business is to return value to shareholders by profit, every quarter, by whatever means.
Elections used to end the day after voting. Now it's just a perpetual 2 or 4 year "quarter", limited by the fact that long term planning is impossible when the opposite party campaigns to dismantle everything that the previous party accomplished. No need to do anything except be against what the opposing party stands for.
The way most of America gets it's news is slathered in bothsiderism, whataboutism, alternative "facts" and surgically tailored "stories" to influence us one way or the other, or just to sow doubt. Usually not for our benefit.
Masks and vaccines will eventually be accepted, not through government mandates but by the market. Like smokers, antis will get charged a premium by insurance companies. Health plans will penalize them. It'll be required by many popular or essential business because their insurance companies demand it. Throw in law enforcement and bigger police budgets and I can't see how "freedumb" will win.
Republicans will have a hard time denying that extra profit to companies, and have no stomach for dying on Useful Idiot Hill.
Insurance mandates
Somehow get legislated into existence. Have a mortgage? Insurance is mandated.
Drive a car? Insurance is mandated. Have a professional license? Insurance required.
Not much of a stretch to have health insurance mandated, the cost of which depending
on your age, zip code, lifestyle choices, immunizations, pre-existing conditions, diet,
weight, exercise, height, gender, race and sexual orientation.
We are led to believe lowering liability exposure to these 'benevolent' insurers saves us
all kinds of money. Ha! Crock of shite.
Americans are sheeple.
Period.
