Well, that was fast yo…
Last night, I put out a post re: the WEF's new Disease X. WEF stands for World Economic Forum See post HERE
In that post, I speculated, maybe a bit sardonically, that the makers of Disease X would likely have a vaccine ready when they launch the disease at us
Tumblr media
Now this morning, I check my news and the Salty Cracker, an entertaining channel known for not posting fake news, is talking about a bio-weapons facility in England already working on a vaccine for whatever Disease X turns out to be.
As stated in my post from last night, vaccines for organic viruses — meaning those that occur in nature and not made in a bio-weapons lab — have historically taken at least several years to develop once the virus appears. But we all know from watching action movies that when criminals make bio-weapon type viruses in labs, they always come with a matching vaccine or antidote
Go HERE and see what the Salty Cracker is reporting It includes info on what some are calling cremation vans and a bunch of other conspiracy theories *we conspiracy theorists are currently batting 1000

A TED talk from 5 years ago, from Israeli scholar Yuval Noah Harari has been echoing through my mind, all this week:
(April, 2018)
Fascism denies all identities except the national identity and insists that I have obligations only towards my nation. If my nation demands that I sacrifice my family, then I will sacrifice my family. If my nation demands that I kill millions of people then I will kill millions of people. And if my nation demands that I betray truth and beauty, then I should betray truth and beauty. [H]ow does a fascist decide what to teach kids in school? […] There is just one yardstick: you teach the kids whatever serves the interests of the nation. The truth doesn't matter at all. Now, the horrors of the Second World War and of the Holocaust remind us of the terrible consequences of this way of thinking. […]
The problem with evil is that in real life, evil doesn't necessarily look ugly. It can look very beautiful. […] Fascism makes people see themselves as belonging to the most beautiful and most important thing in the world -- the nation. And then people think, "Well, they taught us that fascism is ugly. But when I look in the mirror, I see something very beautiful, so I can't be a fascist, right?" Wrong. That's the problem with fascism. When you look in the fascist mirror, your see yourself as far more beautiful than you really are. In the 1930s, when the Germans looked in the fascist mirror, they saw Germany as the most beautiful thing in the world. If today, Russians look in the fascist mirror, they will see Russia as the most beautiful thing in the world. And if Israelis look in the fascist mirror, they will see Israel as the most beautiful thing in the world.
Why fascism is terrifying -- and how your data could power it.

So I just stumbled across a passage in Harari’s “Sapiens” about a possible genocide by Homo sapiens against other human species in our early history:
“Perhaps this is exactly why our ancestors wiped out the Neanderthals. They were too familiar to ignore, but too different to tolerate.”
And I started thinking wether the “uncanny valley” concept first introduced by Masahiro Mori, stating that anything that closely resembles humans but doesn’t exactly look like them, creates an uneasy sentiment or even a sense of fear, comes from that time.
It maybe really is an evolutionary response to different human species being enemies. Anyone that looks slightly like us, but not quite right, is considered an enemy. If a conflict between homo sapiens and others truly happened, the “uncanny valley” might’ve been critical to survival.

According to Buddhism, the root of suffering is neither the feeling of pain nor of sadness nor even of meaninglessness. Rather, the real root of suffering is this never-ending and pointless pursuit of ephemeral feelings, which causes us to be in a constant state of tension, restlessness and dissatisfaction. Due to this pursuit, the mind is never satisfied. Even when experiencing pleasure, it is not content, because it fears this feeling might soon disappear, and craves that this feeling should stay and intensify. People are liberated from suffering not when they experience this or that fleeting pleasure, but rather when they understand the impermanent nature of all their feelings, and stop craving them. This is the aim of Buddhist meditation practices. In meditation, you are supposed to closely observe your mind and body, witness the ceaseless arising and passing of all your feelings, and realise how pointless it is to pursue them. When the pursuit stops, the mind becomes very relaxed, clear and satisfied. All kinds of feelings go on arising and passing – joy, anger, boredom, lust – but once you stop craving particular feelings, you can just accept them for what they are. You live in the present moment instead of fantasising about what might have been. The resulting serenity is so profound that those who spend their lives in the frenzied pursuit of pleasant feelings can hardly imagine it. It is like a man standing for decades on the seashore, embracing certain ‘good’ waves and trying to prevent them from disintegrating, while simultaneously pushing back ‘bad’ waves to prevent them from getting near him. Day in, day out, the man stands on the beach, driving himself crazy with this fruitless exercise. Eventually, he sits down on the sand and just allows the waves to come and go as they please. How peaceful!

“You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.”

Monkeys are too smart for that scam.

For thousands of years, philosophers, thinkers and prophets have besmirched money and called it the root of all evil. Be that as it may, money is also the apogee of human tolerance.
Money is more open-minded than language, state laws, cultural codes, religious beliefs and social habits. Money is the only trust system created by humans that can bridge almost any cultural gap, and that does not discriminate on the basis of religion, gender, race, age or sexual orientation. Thanks to money, even people who don't know each other and don't trust each other can nevertheless cooperate effectively.
from Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari (one of my favourite books ever)

Ok…
So, if Disease X is here, it should be at least several years to a vaccine, yeah? I mean, that is how it went with Mumps and Rubella… Small Pox and Measles. There still is not a vaxx for Scarlet Fever yo. Now, I know the vaxx for COVID came out in less than a year, but that was different. Pfizer and their friends had billions and billions to make off that one, and a bunch of division to sew between the vaxx'd and unvaxxed as well, so it would make sense that they could dev a vaxx quicker, yeah?
Still, I thinking if they dev a vaxx for Disease X super really fast, like by Spring, it is a sure sign the Disease X virus is from a lab, rather than a bat or monkey.
Rule #1 of Bio Weapons;
Always make the shit in pairs … one killer virus, one killer virus antidote
Otherwise, what will the elites do if they get the virus that was meant for we the little people, the commoners
… just saying yo

The Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari has backed academics and peace activists in his home country in an attack on the “indifference” of some American and European progressives to Hamas atrocities, accusing them of “extreme moral insensitivity” and betraying leftwing politics.
Harari – the author of bestselling books including Sapiens and Homo Deus – joined 90 signatories of a statement expressing dismay with “elements within the global left … until now, our political partners” who had, on occasion, “justified Hamas’s actions”.
The 47-year-old, who has recently become a high-profile political activist in Israel, opposing Benjamin Netanyahu’s rightwing populist coalition and its plan to weaken judicial oversight, told the Guardian he intervened after speaking with peace activists in his home country who were “completely devastated” and “feeling abandoned and betrayed by supposed allies” in peace efforts, after academics, artists and intellectuals signed letters which failed to condemn Hamas.

Voltaire said about God that ‘there is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night’. Hammurabi would have said the same about his principle of hierarchy, and Thomas Jefferson about human rights. Homo sapiens has no natural rights, just as spiders, hyenas and chimpanzees have no natural rights. But don’t tell that to our servants, lest they murder us at night.

Yuval Noah Harari  - Satan Personified… “What Do We Need So Many Humans For”
The new world order is creating a new class of people, from their own mouths, the said “the useless class”. Not lower class, middle class or upper class, but the useless class. What do you think their plans are for this useless class of people that are contributing so much to global warming? Like final stage abortions, if they are borne we will keep them comfortable until they die, which will be very soon. Anyone that is cheering this is cheering their own deaths.
