Legitimizing Western medicine .

‘ our partners on the front lines…the brave heroes working on the front lines.

Why This Pandemic Is Looking More Like A Social Engineering Experiment, Part 1
When something is repeated over and over, it often has the capacity to put us to sleep. But occasionally, it has the opposite effect. Sometimes in the wake of redundant messaging our senses are aroused to a bitter taste or a stale odor that tells us something is just not right.
I had such an experience in tuning in to Ontario’s daily COVID-19 briefing today which I had done, optimistically, to see if there was any advance on when schools would be opening for my 6-year old. (no such luck). It came at the beginning of health minister Christine Elliot’s segment:
Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge and celebrate our amazing nurses, on this first day of National Nurses Week. Day and night our heroic nurses work tirelessly to care for the people of Ontario. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Over the past few months, Ontario’s health care system has demonstrated remarkable responsiveness to the COVID-19 outbreak. That is in large part to our partners on the front lines, including our nurses, doctors, homecare, hospital and long-term care staff, personal support workers, and first-responders among many others. As we’ve confronted COVID-19, we’ve made historic investments to dramatically expand hospital capacity, and support the brave heroes working on the front lines of our healthcare system.
Elliot was literally gushing as she extolled the virtues of our health care workers. It was almost as though she had convinced herself that her plaudits were sincere.
What’s The Motive?
The surface political motive for many of our leaders to heap praise on health care workers, and encourage the public to do the same, is fairly straightforward. In thanking others, one gets to bask in the reflected glory of their accomplishments.
But upon deeper reflection, one can see that this strategy is so widely employed in the case of this pandemic because it simultaneously touches on all the bases that our authority want conveyed during their public proclamations. In fact, there are few social programming techniques that I can think of that are more powerful or effective. Let’s touch on a few of the bases ourselves:
Amplifying the Severity of the Pandemic. Through the clever sleight-of-hand of the praise of others, which the listening audience tends to take in readily with their guard down and their discernment filters on pause, the speaker is able to fully convince us of the danger we are facing, by commending health care workers for being willing to confront this danger. The more heroic we are made to think they are, the more danger that is implied. While the praise towards our fellow human beings (who are not part of the authority) makes us feel good to a certain extent, what is really being heightened in us is that low-level fear that this virus is lurking, ready to pounce on us at any misstep. A public that is in this state of fear is much easier to control and manipulate.
Legitimizing Western medicine. Listen to her terminology. ‘our partners on the front lines…the brave heroes working on the front lines.’ Why ‘Front lines’? Why is health care a ‘fight,’ always some kind of ‘war’? Because this has been the pre-eminent strategy of Western medicine all along–to make us feel that there has been an enemy invasion (a virus). To make us feel that our body does not have the necessary defense mechanisms (Western medicine virtually ignores our immune system). To make us feel that we are under attack, need protection, and the army of doctors and researchers spawned from Western medical school is our only hope (of course this is why traditional medicine, which works in concert with the immune system, has for so long been labelled quackery and pseudoscience).
Reinforcing government authority. In praising the health care workers and the system they operate within, our authority is actually reinforcing its own praiseworthiness without saying it directly. Instead, the government is seen as the benevolent manager of the whole process, ‘partnering’ with those laudable heroes in the health care system. So when the government brags that they’ve ‘made historic investments to dramatically expand hospital capacity,’ should we be standing up and applauding? Or should we be asking, if this whole government-medical system partnership is working so well, shouldn’t we be seeing a reduction in hospital beds instead of a constant increase? Shouldn’t the citizens as a whole be getting healthier, rather than getting sicker and more in need of drugs and treatments, as all the evidence and statistics tell us?
Nobody’s Knocking Our Health Care Workers
Now before anybody starts saying I’m knocking our health care workers, stop. Actually, if you’ve gotten this far in the article, I probably don’t have to worry about you. It is those who just read the headlines and then feel justified in making their outrage known on Facebook about seeing ‘another ridiculous conspiracy theory.’ The fact is, a bit of honest reflection will force us to admit that at some level we all know that our authority is trying to pull something on us every time they speak.
Just for the record, I believe health care is a very noble profession, with a majority of those working within the system being truly dedicated to the health and well-being of the patients they come into contact with.
However, this pandemic has not turned everybody working in health care into Florence Nightengales, as our leaders and mainstream media would have us believe. Those who were competent and caring in 2018 and 2019 are competent and caring in 2020 during this pandemic. Those who were incompetent and apathetic to their patients in the past have for the most part probably remained that way under the circumstances we currently face. Like in any occupation, there are good workers and bad workers. When a patient says ‘thank-you’ to a nurse or doctor for their service and care, it is spontaneous and authentic. It is meaningful. On the other hand, calling on the entire public to say ‘thank you’ to all health care workers, in speeches and promotional ads everywhere, 24/7, is likely staged and grounded in a very different agenda.
The Takeaway
The sooner we see through the motives behind these attempts to tell us what to think and how to feel, the sooner we will have a society founded on truth and authenticity.

renegadetribune--2020-05-21--Contact Tracing: When Game Night Turned Into A Nightmare

Henry Kron and his wife Helen had just enjoyed a family dinner time with their two pre-teen daughters , Leanne and Elise .
Henry headed to the coat closet to get the girls ’ favorite board game off the top shelf .
He had promised that this would be “ game night ” and they were all looking forward to it .
Actually , life was just starting to look good again after the extended lockdown during the global pandemic .
That one had cost Henry his last job and finding a new job was next to impossible with 40 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same time .
In fact , the lack of income for several months left them unable to make their house payment for two months in row .
They came within an inch of being foreclosed .
Their retirement fund wasn ’ t large , but it took the whole thing just to get caught up .
With a lot of hard work and a bit of luck , Henry had finally landed a good job .
Even though he would be on probation for the first 90 days , he was determined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep the job .
Just as they decided who would get to roll the dice to start the game , the doorbell rang .
Henry went to the door thinking “ Who would call on us at this time of the evening ?
” He certainly was not expecting anyone .
As he opened the door , there stood a soldier in a crisp , clean fatigue uniform .
“ Yes , ” replied Henry , “ is something going on in the neighborhood ?
” “ No , sir , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give you and your family a coronavirus test because we received a report that you have unknowingly been exposed to someone who actually had the virus.
” “ I ’ m not at liberty to say , sir , ” he replied , “ All of that kind of information is private and confidential.
” Henry immediately thought back to the restaurant he and his wife visited for dinner two days ago .
They were asking each guest to fill out a form with their name and address info , and they did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do with contact tracing rules just implemented in their state .
The soldier explained that testing was mandatory but there would be no cost to him .
It would only take a couple of minutes to take samples from everyone in the household .
Reluctantly , Henry consented .
What else could he do ?
After signing the HIPAA agreement and liability waiver , the soldier took a quick cheek swab of all four of them .
“ I will take these kits to the lab for processing tonight , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get back to you in the morning with the results.
” “ Oh , and Mr. Kron , until you hear from me , please remain at home , just in case.
” After this intrusion , game night was overshadowed by the fear of “ what if ” .
Nobody really felt like laughing and Henry and Helen had a restless night after the girls went to bed .
Just after breakfast the next morning , the phone rang .
“ This is Henry Kron speaking , ” he answered as he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dread in his stomach .
“ Mr .
Kron , I ’ m sorry to report that your wife Helen tested positive for COVID-19 even though she has no symptoms yet , ” the caller said , “ so , your family will have to make some adjustments over the next two weeks.
” “ Well , you will all have to ‘ self-quarantine at home ’ and avoid contact with anyone else , ” the caller explained .
“ We can help you with any needs you might have , like groceries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ daughters can ’ t go to school ?
” “ That ’ s correct , sir , they will have to stay home for the duration.
” “ Do you mean I can ’ t go to work ?
” “ That ’ s also correct , sir , but only for two weeks .
We will test all of you again at the end just to confirm that you are all in the clear.
” Henry was starting to feel a sense of panic .
Could they really do this to him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ If I don ’ t go to work tomorrow , I will be fired from my new job , and if I get fired again , I will lose my house .
In any case , I just read that your COVID-19 tests are returning a high percentage of false positives .
You can ’ t do this to me !
” “ I understand how you feel , sir , but our contact tracing guidelines are very clear and your cooperation is essential to help keep you and everyone else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can stick that in your ear , soldier boy , ” Henry exclaimed with rising temper , “ I am going to work and that is the end of matter.
” “ Sir , it ’ s not that easy .
We require daily contact with you until the two week period is completed , and if you violate the order , you will receive a citation that will cost $ 500 per day.

” “ Oh , and Mr. Kron ?
We will also need to know everyone you and your family have been in contact with during the last 7 days.

Henry Kron and his wife Helen had just enjoyed a family dinner time with their two pre-teen daughters, Leanne and Elise. Henry headed to the coat closet to get the girls’ favorite board game off the top shelf.
He had promised that this would be “game night” and they were all looking forward to it.
Actually, life was just starting to look good again after the extended lockdown during the global pandemic. That one had cost Henry his last job and finding a new job was next to impossible with 40 million other Americans out of work at the same time.
In fact, the lack of income for several months left them unable to make their house payment for two months in row. They came within an inch of being foreclosed. Their retirement fund wasn’t large, but it took the whole thing just to get caught up.
With a lot of hard work and a bit of luck, Henry had finally landed a good job. Even though he would be on probation for the first 90 days, he was determined to do whatever it would take to keep the job.
Just as they decided who would get to roll the dice to start the game, the doorbell rang.

“What? Who was that?” Henry asked.
“I’m not at liberty to say, sir,” he replied, “All of that kind of information is private and confidential.”
Henry immediately thought back to the restaurant he and his wife visited for dinner two days ago. They were asking each guest to fill out a form with their name and address info, and they did. The waitress said it had something to do with contact tracing rules just implemented in their state.
The soldier explained that testing was mandatory but there would be no cost to him. It would only take a couple of minutes to take samples from everyone in the household.

“That’s correct, sir, they will have to stay home for the duration.”

Henry’s heart sank. He knew this was the end of the line for him and his family. He was trapped. He had worked so hard for so many years to get where he was, but this would be the final blow that killed it all.
He could seek low income housing, but the application line was a mile long because unemployment was so high. Maybe they would just sell everything and start over somewhere else.
“More sleepless nights ahead,” he told Helen. Their daughters didn’t fully understand, but they knew their parents were very upset. They all hugged, temporarily oblivious to COVID-19. At least they had each other. For now…
