We should mask up for exactly half of our outdoor runs. Here's how I became a believer.

The rhetorical predominance of affluent midwits and their self-stroking coward-culture continues unabated, if not literally unchallenged

Every day, the media unfurl(s) stories that are both ridiculous on their own and designed to normalize overtly ridiculous output from official sources. If you’re still sane, you’re at least aware of the daily spew of outright, adamant falsehoods and the efforts of the state to deny the right to publicly deny them. But even those trying to keep their brains from capsizing can lose sight of the zoomed-out picture, which is that the media and the U.S. Government are not only continuing lie to as extravagantly as they please, but have now moved into the phase of the campaign where they simply pretend that the videos, quotes, and stories proving beyond doubt that they’re all liars—stuff unearthed from as recently as mere months ago—do not matter. Evidence in the traditional, empirical sense does not matter.

There is perhaps no more flagrant example of this than Anthony Fauci, the most egregious and deeply embedded sociopath in the history of American politics—a man who has been killing and lying for personal gain and glory for nearly half a century and openly revels in his ability to manipulate the rabble given the guarantee of an endless official platform. He has been an orchestrator of mass murder tied to the most cynical forms of profiteering imaginable.

Wishing death on someone that evil is to wish him a release from consequences he will never see anyway, and no consequences are too severe for men this flamboyantly and kleptomaniacally evil.

Last month, the White House cooked up a story about First Booze-Hound Jill Biden getting covid again, with the aim of pushing the narrative that this deadly virus is not only still here but preparing to resume its ruthlessly homicidal ways of 2020. As part of this blitz of propaganda, ABC “News” disgorged a story about how the roving remains of President Joseph R. Biden, Junior would alter his behavior in response to this onsite covid emergency.

Behold:

"As far as the steps that he's taking since the president was with the first lady yesterday -- he will be masking while indoors and around people in alignment with CDC guidance," [Official White House Mentally Enfeebled Lesbian and Immigrant Liar of Color Karine Jean-Pierre] said.

Boulder, Colorado, where I currently exist as a mostly useless ingestor of junk food and dog-borne consumer of the local terrain, is famously rich in highly affluent Democrats, a party whose longtime voters have been blindly and thus seamlessly swung into supporting erstwhile “right-wing” politics—proxy-wars, speech-suppression, and science-denial—over the past five or so years. This in turn implies a local prevalence of Branch Covidians and Ukraine-flag-wavers with a z-score of around 2.3; ours is not quite a “Black Swan” Karen municipality, but it’s getting there.

I wrote about this being exemplified by defiantly ignorant Boulder City Council candidate Waylon Lewis, who chose to delete the comment below and block me without addressing it. He’ll do great if elected and forced to deal directly with all those rich outsider-citizens he hates, who will do far more to make his life difficult than some Internet wag snidely exposing him as an querulous and irrational defender of badly broken people and principles.

Anyway, I've decided to start running with a mask on, but only on alternating days, and always at the same time, using routes where I see a lot of the same people. On mask-up days, I’ll conspicuously give everyone at least a 15-foot berth, while on the open-face days, I'll breeze by these same folks bare-faced and at a close enough range to ensure that we pass through each other's fartclouds, if any (and there are too many rank-butted kale-eaters for anyone’s liking around here).

This idea of course makes no sense at all. But it also makes no less sense than the details in the ABC News story. That’s the point of my giving such a baldly whimsical example of adaptive behavior, other than whimsy, memes, and other coping mechanisms being an essential and unwavering part of my and any rational being’s outlook on Earth Life.

The people around here deserve a character who plays exactly this kind of aggravating but fundamentally harmless jester role. I have already documented being ignored by local health officials after warning them about the known dangers of the mRNA injections. And I will state for hopefully the final time that when I remark on excess deaths caused by these products, I’m not offering a strong hunch or a proposition; I am reporting the undeniable facts. These updates are no different epistemologically from me giving a temperature report based on Weather.com or using U.S. Census Bureau data to offer a solid estimate of the current population of any U.S. municipality.

That the chilling number excess deaths demonstrably attributable to the shots is being both ignored and suppressed doesn’t change that number one bit. These shots have killed a minimum of several hundred thousand people in the United States alone, and they continue to kill people today despite most people not having been injected in over a year—chiefly, it appears, through the induction of chronic diseases of the kidney, cardiovascular derangements, and blood disorders, including various forms of cancer.

I’m done explaining why everyone should have been alarmed by the government’s eagerness to roll out an experimental vaccine for a mild respiratory disease despite the grossly over-truncated period of safety testing and the telling move of the drug companies behind this managing to immunize themselves against lawsuits. I’ve written posts about how the basic biochemistry in play made the kinds of damage from an mRNA-based antigen-factory we’re* now seeing not only possible but somewhere between likely and inevitable in large numbers of jabs-recipients. I’ve both emphasized that the Centers for Disease Control has corrupted its own data in plain sight and explained how the agency done so in various ways, perhaps chief among these its bleakly comical definition of “unvaccinated.”

I even wrote a post about the statistical methods used to arrive at these figures. Anyone who wants to deny the findings of Steve Kirsch, Edward Dowd, or the Ethical Skeptic is invited to not only propose an alternative explanation for the excess mortality, but also explain any errors in the assumptions or the math of these people—not engage in baroquely worded appeals to authority, ad hominem attacks, and other pseudo-intellectual dodges.

These fine fellows are working from publicly available files and databases using methods medical statisticians and economists have been relying on for decades. Had they screwed up, someone would have indicated this and explained how. It would be an easy task were it possible.

This discharge of disgust is a wandering precursor to a post I’ll be writing about David and Megan Roche, who continue to prove that shamelessly degraded waterheads of privilege can always find ways to reach deeper and deeper troughs of absurdity, deflection, programmed confusion, and gibbering fail. They’ve returned to yammering about covid now that the mainstream media have begun re-planting this malady as a danger to the general public.

These two were invited by Outside, Inc. to trip over themselves in advocacy of the mRNA jabs as they were about to be rolled out in what is now, about 30 months deep, the sole American experiment being widely done on those jabs. Someone was given this role at every sufficiently large corporate media outlet, and the Roches were Outside’s choice. They fell on their faces in grand fashion. They weren’t alone, but this too is an absolute fact.

Megan holds a medical degree, somehow, and if she was honestly snookered by the “study” churned out by the jabsmakers in support of the accelerated approval and release of their poison, she’s too incurious to call herself a doctor and should just admit all she does is scam joggers for a fee anyway. And if she did know better—as a prospective epidemiologist should have—but contributed to this garbage anyway, she should lose her license to practice medicine.

But because she was actually doing her job, in context, none of these things will happen. Megan and her dumbass coward of a husband will continue to expand their coaching-mill by successfully appealing to the world’s most ignorant educated people (short of Scientologists who went to college, as I suspect at least one did). They can keep ignoring reality and their critics alike while never addressing the shambolic wrongness of their past blathering or even acknowledging they in fact wrote it.

I invited both Roches to revisit the claims and interpretations they put forth in that January 4, 2021 Trail Runner/Triathlete article. David deleted my comment, probably quite quickly, while the one I left for Megan is still there.

While it’s true I enjoy hectoring proudly arrogant-ignorant clowns like these two on principle, they have also been badly off-base about what is a very real public-health issue, and the fact that they have company all around the world also ignoring it doesn’t mean they should be allowed to skate. More easily than others, I, in the face of being derided or ignored, could simply let it all go; as someone with no rogue mRNA in my system, I could extend both middle fingers toward the soythoritarians and slack-faced sad-sacks and midwits among us and say, “Okay, all you jabbed people get sick while on the whole the rest of us are fine,” and be a self-satisfied misery-merchant about the whole sick charade.

But I continue to worry deeply about all sixteen (it might be down to fifteen) of my friends. What else is out there for me worth worrying about? At least one seems to have the chronic-fatigue element of too many boosters and too many URIs in recent years, some covid, others something else. I’ve mentioned some other suspicious incidents. But moreover, I am not going to stop just because a smattering of people I assumed were either capable enough thinkers or ethical enough humans to grasp the essentials of society’s rearrangement have disappointed me.
