This candidate for the Darwin Award is actually going to be useful if objective people keep an eye on him to see what happens.

In fact, he will be more useful than many of the tests run by Big Pharma.

"We are very concerned about this situation."

In further fact, he might even be useful as a propaganda story by damaging the image of Big Pharma and the coercion squad. 

I know one thing for sure.

I would not want to be that dude.

Dangit. A little setback, here.
 

"In a win for the Biden administration, a U.S. federal appeals court on Wednesday reinstated a vaccine mandate affecting millions of healthcare workers at federally funded healthcare facilities in 26 states.

"The decision handed down by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that a lower court only had the authority to block the mandate in the 14 states that sued. The court ruled the lower court was wrong to impose a nationwide injunction."

Biden's US Postal Service Is Stealing & Destroying Ivermectin Shipments

article - https://www.infowars.com/posts/report-fda-colludes-with-us-postal-service-to-destroy-ivermectin-shipments/ Website: https://saltmustflow.com OTHER PLATFORMS: Odysee:...

The US Postal service lets through kiddie porn, narcotics, and God knows what due to lack of enough manpower, yet they are expending their human resources on seeking out and confiscating Ivermectin when it comes from a foreign country.

What's worse, everybody knows the confiscated Ivermectin is going to the family members of the predator class.

The remedy right now is not hard. If you buy Ivermectin from, say, India, just tell them not to put Ivermectin on the label and wrapping when they ship it. And track the shipping.

And be advised. Big Pharma means business when it is in collusion with the government. They will squash you if they can.

Question (not sure if this has been answered here yet): Does anyone know if hospital patience who tested positive for COVID while in hospital, but not being originally admitted for COVID, were counted towards COVID hospitalizations? I have heard many times that hospitalizations are the best metric for measuring the effect of the virus on an area... but I can't believe that people who just happened to test positive while already in the hospital (especially considering there has been a higher chance of contracting the virus while in hospital), would be tracked differently than those who were admitted for COVID.

I don't know for sure, but if my feeling is correct, then even hospitalizations may be way over represented...

Everything is Covid, people who fell off buildings, got hit by trucks or buses had Covid, all the hospital numbers are highly inflated

Deaths were obviously inflated. That's been said many times, but I don't remember hearing anything about hospitalizations.

Michael, it's worse than that. Yes, there is huge wealth cascading down from Pharma and Govts and many pockets have been filled. The predators want the money - and the power ( - and the power to grab more money) but this is not sufficient cause to explain their motivations, nor how successful they have been at blatantly getting away with it under everybody's noses.

I've been watching 'them' generally. From main players, down to comments on Facebook, Twitter and what I hear. Under it all, these people Believe in their goodness to "the other" people. Armed with that, there's no limit to their excesses and to their followers' zeal. Whoever stands in the way will be regrettably sacrificed in some way - the common good is that strong a motive in these selfless minds - predators and their willing victims, both.

We could look on this long episode as finally the combining powers of the 'Witch Doctor' (the mystical 'scientism' by sell-out scientists, the pharmaceutical makers and unethical, pandering doctors and Press propagandists) coupled with 'Attila' (the applied physical force by politicians and governments).

(The notorious dictators of history clearly didn't believe for one second they were "evil dictators".  Stalin/Hitler/.. 'knew' their actions were morally justified by their concern for 'the good' of the nation, a people, a class and so on. Wealth wasn't their driving goal. The final power (and this dictators all realised) is the control over individual minds).

They are Tooheys, one and all. They hate the stand-alone independence of any person and go to lengths to materially, socially or psychologically destroy him/her. 

When one omits this sacrificial and self-sacrificial aspect, the evils of what the predators are really doing and will be doing further (once most people have become trained in fearful obedience) for our ultimate 'good', stay concealed and not properly attacked. The pandemic and the measures which came with it are a dry run for global Socialism where there'll be no dissenters.

Tony,

I used to buy this.

I don't buy it anymore, though.

I agree that these predators might believe in their goodness to others, but that only lasts until they want to feed.

Then they feed off others without a blink of shame.

This has nothing to do with altruism. It has to do with creating wealth or taking it from others added to a monstrous conceit and thinking most of humanity is livestock.

(I distinguish between conceit, i.e., vanity, and selfishness in a Randian sense.)

I now follow this dictum, which I have thought through and tested to the limit. When I see a conflict between what somebody says and what they do, I go with what they do as the better indicator of reality.

 

As to Toohey, he was pretty clear on what he was about when he let loose on Peter Keating near the end. There was a moment even with Roark when Toohey was so lonely and hungry for someone to see him as he was, he asked Roark to let loose on him, with Roark's famous line, "But I don't think of you."

Toohey knew he was a predator. He knew he was evil. And he did not, for one minute, believe the bullshit he spewed out to others. And in that sense, he knew he was an impostor to others when things were civilized. (Not at feeding time, though.  )

One of my favorite lines from Rand came from a person in Toohey's early life who called him a maggot because he likes to feed off people's sores.

All the dictators you mentioned are in the same boat. Oh, they have their core stories and mythologies and philosophies, but at root, they know they are predators and they feed off of innocent humans. Most of them are even proud of it.

 

I will give you this. Our brains are modular and the parts function in hierarchical waves. So when a certain part of the brain is the predominant lens at the moment, an evil predator can get mushy about "others" and be sincere. But then, his belly eventually growls, or his greed muscle twitches, or he gets horny or whatever and another part of his brain takes over and all the mush goes bye-bye...

In that sense, I will also grant you that people lie to themselves constantly about their own goodness, talents, skills, etc. Even evil people.

(There's a constantly proven experiment where drivers are surveyed about their driving ability and the norm is for about 80% of them consistently to claim they belong in the top 10% in skill of all drivers.  There are several cognitive biases and heuristics this falls under, but we can call it the self-deceiving vanity bias and it would mean the same thing. We all do this, too--some more than others and some more self-correcting than others.)

But these evil people, even when lying to themselves, are aware they are predators. They fully know that for certain innocent people, the ones they consider human livestock, they are evil.

And there's more. I believe most of them stay evil once they are aware of it because they like it.

Michael, what makes a predator?

Even he needs to self-justify his acts, more than most, to feel righteously 'good'. There is not a person who can psychologically live long with himself, in full knowledge of their evil. There has to be present an internal, compensatory self-justification for "scrambling" human eggs to make "the omelette".

Then he needs to justify his acts to others whom he needs to support him in numbers, the power luster is "a second-hander" who can't proceed without majoritarian acceptance.

Third, he needed to have had many intellectual ideologues who pre- justify his actions through a corrupt ideology.

(And also propagandists who post-justify them).

Contempt for other people's individual agency or autonomy is naturally part of a predator's make -up. It is what he lacks, a sense of self.

(More commonplace today, "he" is often a "she").

"Altruism" - unquestionable: I have seen enough to know every inhumane action of men to men, you can name, is both a sacrifice of another or 'others', in general  - of their values, independence, freedom, loss, pain or eventually lives - AND - a self-sacrifice, the "self-abnegation" of one's mindful human-ness at being a cause of their suffering. Not one person including psychopaths, can be unaware of human pain; one's personal level of the sensations that one feels is baked-in from infancy, automatic and transferred to all humans and animals.

Those necessary followers, overt or simply too cowardly to speak up, must take a share of the responsibility. They have also renounced, sacrificed, their humanity - and minds, in denial of their own inescapable senses. "You can't claim you didn't see". 

The same patterns which we had in Zimbabwe are repeating in more sophisticated ways in the West, setting a precedent with mostly compliant people in all countries towards an un-free future. The biggest value they and we possess is incrementally being sacrificed via 'justification' of a quite severe virus.

I read the Sciabarra analysis from TG, and would say to that that there's the 'executive arm' in action, of the "predatory state" and those who materially back it and benefit from it.

Of course.

I haven't ignored this outward aspect of force for ends, and power and wealth, but it is the moral and psychological underpinnings I pick out, which brought that state of physical predators manifestly into existence, as he observed from Rand.

I'm damn sure she'd fault the culprit of altruism at root!

Michael, what makes a predator?

Tony,

Technically, humans are predators of chickens and cows.

(And I admit to my part.)

But how about a predator of your own species?

When I refer to the predator class, I am not talking about McDonalds. I am talking about cannibal predators. Humans who prey on other humans.

Do you think there is a moral justification for cannibalism that rejecting altruism will sanction?

I don't. And I can't see how.

Cannibalism is evil.

Oh, some lower life forms engage in cannibalism like some fish eating newborns, animals eating afterbirth, etc., and that is prewired, but not humans. In fact, I can't think of a single primate other than humans that practices cannibalism.

Maybe chimps under specific conditions, and even then, those conditions are rare. The humans who practice cannibalism--especially as their main form of survival--don't do that by prewiring.

They choose it.

In other words, that is their morality.

It precedes altruism, which is only a tool the moral cannibal uses to get prey.

Do you know what the difference between nurture and cannibalism is? I'm not just talking about eating flesh. I'm talking about consuming the product of a person's life. Eating their souls so to speak.

With nurture, there is consent by the host. The mother gives her milk to her baby because she chooses to. A person helps a bro out because he chooses to. There is sharing with the recipient.

With cannibalism, there is only taking by the predator and nonvolitional loss, often lethal, by the victim. Cannibalism by a predator is not altruism.

Altruism can exist when the victim offers himself to the predator, but that's not always the case. The predator will also fight to eat.

Bullying exists.

Michael, you've described altruism well.

The evil of moral cannibalism - and bullying - of someone's spirit (or body) which is sacrificial denial of their humanity, autonomy, lives, free will and minds.

Those who prey on others' 'souls'. Lacking them, themselves, as I said.

Then you say that is not altruism?

I'm confused.

 

[Michael Stuart Kelly]

Tony,

Altruism is the morality of self-sacrifice.

Self-sacrifice.

Not just sacrifice.

Altruism is not the morality of sacrificing others to oneself. That is more in line with Nietzsche's will to power.

Sacrificing others to oneself is often a result when altruism is practiced by others (while not by oneself), but sacrificing others to oneself is not a part pf the actual morality of altruism.

As a political weapon, altruism is often preached by bullies in order to get people to disarm, to accept sanction of the victim, to surrender their souls on a silver platter, but the bullies themselves don't practice altruism. 

They follow a different code.

The prey practices altruism, not the predator.

 

I get it that you want to believe all predators (in my sense) are unhappy beings who have given up their souls, who will never experience self-esteem, etc. etc. etc., and you want to attribute that to altruism, but even if that were true, the predators do not believe their prey are to be the beneficiaries of their efforts as altruism would demand. On the contrary, they want to eat their prey, either literally or metaphorically.

Granted, there are different meanings for the term altruism (especially biological), but the one Rand followed was the same as that proposed by Auguste Comte. 

Here is a direct quote by Ayn Rand in For The New Intellectual.

Quote

It is not astonishing that Comte was the coiner of the term Altruism, which means: the placing of others above self, of their interests above one’s own.

Nietzsche’s rebellion against altruism consisted of replacing the sacrifice of oneself to others by the sacrifice of others to oneself. 

That's about as clear as it gets.

Fauci’s War on Science: The Smoking Gun

By Jeffrey A. Tucker  

"What do we learn from these emails? The attacks on tens of thousands of medical professionals and scientists were indeed encouraged from the top. The basis for the attacks were not scientific articles. They were heavily political popular pieces. This adds serious weight to the impression we all had at the time, which was that this was not really about science but about something far more insidious. 

"You can discover more about this in Scott Atlas’s book on the topic. These new emails confirm his account. It was an outright war on top scientists, people whose views on matters of public health were not different from the professional consensus only earlier in the year. For that matter, Anthony Fauci himself warned against lockdowns in January and February, favoring instead normal methods of mitigation."
