But times were a little harsher – the only way to get there was by boat or on horseback (wealthier people), or on foot (most people). Prior to the Crusade, pilgrims in large numbers went to Jerusalem to visit the sites of the Bible, just as they do today. There were deliberate provocateurs like Peter the Hermit and Pope Urban II, and religious belief was much more widespread and superstitious then. If you think we are surrounded by madness now, it was much worse then. He covers so much madness, from The Mississippi Scheme to Tulipmania to Alchemy to the one I am currently enmeshed in, the First Crusade (1095-1099). I’ve had the book for a long time and find it to be hard reading, slow moving and a style of language unlike the way we speak and write today. Lately I’ve been reading Charles MacKay’s 1841 book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.

But how to counter it? How to be at a social gathering when it is known I have not and will not vaccinate? I carry with me in my wallet a copy of Kipling’s If, as I find it soothing, especially the opening lines:Īnd yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise … The official news sources say that people who do not vaccinate are getting sick and dying. Jon knows that there is no SARS-CoV-2, so that the Delta Variant is another angel on the head of a pin.įor the rest of us, those who know that Delta was just a double-down to keep the hoax alive and the pressure up to vaccinate, it’s madness on parade. ( Link.) Jon has the same problem as we all do when he writes about this stuff: He has to enter the world of the surreal to get into the minds of ordinary people and government officials who believe in and who spin this nonsense. And I know that would be attributable to what they are calling the “Delta Variant.” Jon Rappoport, always a go-to for me, writes today how there is no test that can distinguish between SARS-CoV-2 and Delta, and legally anyway laboratories are not allowed to report to you on Delta. I have noticed that mask wearing is on the rise, maybe half of those I saw yesterday at the store. And, of course, I would not put it past Climate Change fanatics to set fires.) Also, I saw on separate screens in the gym (different news outlets) this morning something about a lawyer in South Carolina who was murdered – that story also has a psyop feel about it. (California has a long history of fire suppression, so that when it burns, it burns big.
I know there is some psyop going on in Afghanistan, and that California is on fire. Then he said “You don’t watch news, do you?” “No,” I said, “never.” I did tell him I knew about the flooding on the east coast, but whatever else has him all depressed I know nothing about. (I also pee standing up.) We chatted and for some reason he mentioned how awful the news is these days. He requires everyone to wear a mask, which I find undignified. I encountered my dentist yesterday at the grocery store, or I should say, my former dentist.
