The Phucked Up Phour Aphecting Our Health

There is a terrible trio that preys on us and our health. 

1. Big Phood - where it all starts, which is addicting us to their processed crap and making us sick.

2. Big Pharma - which profits from treating the effects of Big Phood's poisons.

3. Big Government - the enabler and protector of the sickness care scam.

And when you add one more main participant, you get the Fucked up Four.

4. Big Medicine - it sucks more of the people's money than any other expenditure, but has little to show for it in the average person's health and well being.

It's a grift, and more people are wising up to the scam.

Some are beginning to wonder if, on the whole, the Phucked Up Phour have done more damage than good. 

Medical errors are one of the main causes of death, and all cause mortality has been up in most modern countries with high tech health care since the pandemic launched. 

The authorities have been ignoring these excessive deaths after 3 years of obsessively tabulating deaths from a certain sickness deemed "the most important in a century", even though other scenarios cause more deaths every year.

Failure after failure. If you can profit handsomely from failure, why even try to succeed? What is the incentive?

My health care plan is to eat only wholesome foods (grown in the garden as much as possible) that we have cooked ourselves, exercise, hydrate, get plenty of sleep, and live a low stress life with lots of time in nature.

And stay away from mainstream doctors and hospitals unless bleeding uncontrollably. 

Or if you have a steel bar sticking out of your head after an industrial accident. 

They are very good at fixing that kind of thing.

Our Wonderful Future?

There was a time when people were promised a wonderful life looking forward. The future was so bright, they told us, that you had to wear shades.

We were on an upward trajectory, and all current and yet-to-be-revealed problems were solvable with our whiz-bang infallible technology.

Like how labour saving devices were going to make work obsolete in favour of all kinds of lazy leisure time.

However, the dream was never what it was cracked up to be, and now we are counting down the days before the technological nightmare runs amok and ends us all.

Instead of shades we might consider wearing a helmet and flak jacket.

Perhaps our wonderful future will look much different than what the priests of the techno/surveillance/control wet dream have laid out for us. 

Why wouldn't, given the choice, the people get together to build a doable, sustainable, simple and enjoyable alternative to our "leaders" dystopian vision?

Why wouldn't each of us in our own communities start the work of rebuilding a simple, peaceful, and compassionate world? 

The People's vision will honour the good in all humanity, and usher in an era of cooperation and understanding. 

One that offers a life of enough for all human beings that is fair and equitable.

Or we can do nothing and accept the loss of our rights and freedoms on our way to a technological/medical fascism that got underway in earnest in 2019.

But even if in our inaction we passively allow the later, we still won't have flying cars, robot servants, or food for all. 

Also missing will be peace. 

The choice is ours.

My Shit List

I have to get me some of these and start sending them out.

I have a shit list. 

It was inspired by my father, whom I consider to have been a very good and intelligent man with a wit and humour which kept me laughing and learning.

Whenever I hadn't phoned dad in a while he would call me and tell me I was on his "shit list", and that I better come and visit soon. 

Or if he felt like someone was ripping him off or disrespecting him, they would go on his list. 

Because he was a loving man, forgiveness was always forthcoming if the situation changed for the better. 

I was never on his list for long, and by the time he left this world, I am sure his list was blank. As it should be.

Now I have my own shit list. 

Presently this is my list, which is by no means comprehensive or static. 

My Shit List

- Big Anything and Everything: Agri/Food, Oil, Pharma, Tech, Government, Brother... 

- The Sickness Care Industry

- The Realestate Industry 

- Warmongerers 

- Overpriced products

- The (Not So) Great Resetters

- The weather (no snow for snowshoeing yet with the least snow since moving to the east coast in 2014) 

- All Mainstream media

 

In my quest to draw distinct boundaries around what time I have remaining in this wonderful life, my fecal flyer is indispensable and empowering.

Thanks, dad.

Do you have a shit list? What (or who) is on it?

Do Nothing

People are always in a rush to do something, anything. But sometimes doing nothing is a viable alternative that should be considered.

If you are bleeding profusely, you probably need medical intervention. However, in my experience, things like aches and pains often go away on their own if one is patient.

Even though we have universal health care in Canada, I try to stay away from doctors as much as possible. The average "medical professional" will want to do something even if doing nothing is the way to go. Sometimes the cure is worse than the issue at hand.

Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death (after heart disease and cancer) in the US, a statistic that reflects what can happen in any modern medical system with a do-something-at-any-cost mentality. And the cost of these errors in the US? 1 trillion dollars per year.

"It has taken a lot to prove to [the medical community] that many of these deaths are not a natural consequence of the underlying disease. They are purely failures of the system." 

- Ashish Jha, MD, Harvard School of Public Health

I have often found that things I initially thought were problems, given the passage of time, were not anything I needed to do something about. The problem fixes itself without my intervention, or I discover that I was wrong, and no problem existed in the first place.

Either way, nothing needed to be done.

The best is when you do have a problem, then wait patiently, and find that the problem fixes itself. It can happen. Often, vehicle issues fall under this category. Linda and I call this "self-fixing", and it has happened often in the vehicles we have owned. Only once have we ever been stranded at the side of the road. At that point it was time to do something.

I have to wonder if self-fixing has something to do with the power of thoughts, quantum mechanics, and the underlying reality of the Universe. What if we are way more powerful than we think?

Or when one has a broken heart. What is to be done? Nothing. Be patient and let time work its magic.

If you have a gash in your skin and you are bleeding all over the place, you should do something about it, and right away. But we do not always need to spring into action for every perceived "problem".

In the right situations, all we need to do is give ourselves permission to do nothing.

Indoctrination or Freedom

Just another brick in the wall.

When reporters in 2007 told Doris Lessing that she had won the Nobel Prize for literature, she said, “I couldn’t care less.”

She did care deeply about being free.

"Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly," Lessing said, "throughout his or her school life is something like this:

"You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do.  

What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be.  

You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. 

Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself — educating your own judgements.  

Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society."
