Quoting: Anonymous 77709397 Can't you see how we are being treated? Every single detail. Every aspect of our lives. Right down to the clothes we where and what toothpaste we use, ARE BEING CONTROLLED! We are becoming, or should I say have become workers in a concentration camp. Or worse, animals in a ZOO. Thank God! Or ... frogs in a pot of water that’s near the boiling point. :wolf_footer_msg: |

User ID: 77018108 United States 04/11/2020 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Remember the Frog Boil Theory? The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will immediately jump out. But if that frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will eventually be cooked to death. Quoting: Wolf 1776 For us frogs, every few days the heat is increased another notch. Yet, we are still long taxing days from the ominous boiling point. But, before the water boils, a clever chef will likely metaphorically toss in some tasty seasonings along with savory chopped carrots and celery to entice us to stay in a little longer ... just before increasing the heat the last few notches. Most folks bemuse that the boiling water killed the frog. But, the few of us who truly understand, realize that the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out. We know where this is headed. Our time to jump is nigh! You have such an uncanny way of saying EVERYTHING that is on my mind. I can't stay focused enough to get it out like you do. Thanks for all of your great posts. Too many concussions I think lol ============================================================= Noticing Miracles Is My Hobby The Bible - When you carry the Bible, Satan has a headache, when you open it, he collapses, when he sees you reading it, he loses his strength, AND when you stand on the Word of God, Satan can't hurt you! |

Too many concussions I think lol Thank you very much SerenaSeesAll. I believe that many of us have pondered these same questions. But, as I was compiling this personal list (and related data) in the first couple of posts and the FBT which you highlighted, I wondered if folks would read it and reply. It’s very heartening and reassuring to see these thoughtful answers and favorable replies. I made some business decisions in early January based on what I deduced might transpire in the coming weeks. As it turns out, these actions saved one of my companies. Nonetheless, this has turned out to be far more deleterious than I dared to even imagine at the time. Moreover, back in January when I revealed to folks what I thought might unfold, most responded with “What? No way.” or something similar. In February when folks broached the topic with me, they typically added “This is crazy!” By March, the common question posed was “When will this all be over?” Sadly, we may all be asking that same question for many more weeks.

User ID: 78774166 Dominican Republic 04/11/2020 12:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ahhh dear wolf - my brain is already at capacity with 42 tabs open - too many questions. Quoting: Bodhi Sita Do you have just one for me? Why aren't the mainstream media and public officials strongly promoting good immune system health, e.g. D3, vitamin C, zinc, turmeric, regular exercise, healthy weight, and good hygiene? in 2011 I watched the last investigative reporter get laid off and blacklisted. They had uncovered stuff about Monsanto. They are all owned - all profit based. Pharma is media is food, is education, is economy - No free speech. Even here it is monitored. Nothing that isn't profit based is pushed. The goal is lifetime customers for "health". It breaks my heart. In the 70's a study was done to find out what caused heart disease and why it was the leading killer for Americans. The Gov paid for it - a Senator or Congressman was put in charge of the study. Results were too much meat and dairy. The meat and dairy industry lobbied, threatened, lawyered up and eventually got the report so edited it didn't even say anything anymore. The result was that people were moved to cereal for breakfast - instead of bacon and ham and sausage to a degree. 50 years later - still # 1 killer of Americans. (until this year.) Prime example of how one decision can kill millions exponentially. I remember vaguely about a study when I was in high school in the 70s, about what causes pimples in teenagers. And the study said chocolate and pizza, basically. Well, it didn’t take long for them to come back, I guess after sales of chocolate and pizza took a bit of a dive, and they said diet has no effect on pimples. Years later the grain industry wanted to promote eggs as high cholesterol. Eggs have a lot of cholesterol but when you leave out pertinent information like your stomach breaks down cholesterol and you don’t hardly get any from the eggs, and your liver produces roughly one gram of cholesterol per day which you need for hormones, and cholesterol is bad when it gets oxidized so you need more antioxidants, then it’s not important that eggs have a lot of cholesterol. But the cereal companies wanted people having more cereal for breakfast instead of eggs. Ironically, grains are much worse for you than eggs. Drug companies pay tv companies a lot for advertising and I’m sure they don’t advertise on channels that promote healthful advice that really works. We’re on our own. I imagine eventually they’ll censor the internet and/or stop sales of supplements. Forgive your enemies, it messes with their heads. Thoughts create, mind them well. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78440777 Canada 04/11/2020 06:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Today one provincial government annnounced that they have a massive stockpile of pandemic supplies so they are sending hundreds of thousands of N95 masks to other provinces. Front-line hospital staff, paramedics, etc. haven't been able to get the masks in the province that is shipping supplies away now. They asked people to sew cloth masks for them. So either hospital staff and other health workers don't matter, or the projections of the growth of Covid-19 were grossly overstated, or we're all being played. Maybe it's all of the above. This had occurred to me while watching another sad story on the national news last night of a doctor telling everyone to stay home. The doctor's face mask was upside down. People are out and about today. The isolation will not last. People are getting tired of this. Something's going to give. |
