Caduceus? You've seen it many times, that little coiled serpent insignia associated with the medical field and your cherished local hospital. The symbol generally speaks of medicine's highest aspirations, but it carries another side as defined by Greek mythology.
Caduceus was the staff carried by Hermes, and Hermes himself was harbinger and messenger for the Greek gods, serving additionally as the god of commerce, much like the Roman god, Mercury.
Of additional interest, Hermes was the god, according to one source, of "cunning and invention and theft."
Near as I can figure, that last part must have some relationship to the CDC, FDA, NIH and all those other triple-initial government agencies whose medicine-involved existence seems by design to keep research secrets secret (then there are royalty payoffs to government researchers who sometimes, in the words of the old gold prospectors, strike it rich -- as Sen. Rand Paul pointed out so clearly on "Sixty Minutes" last Sunday).
I've no medical license, but picked up most of what I know about medicine during an old Air Force enlistment, However, taking that and connecting older knowledge to current findings and approaches, I have an ability to make some sense out of what I encounter when medical field subjects arise.
That said, I am not particularly impressed with Covid immunizations (look at the data, if you can find it), but if you're an adult the choice is yours. But the kids and the babies? Wow. Newborns already receive a host of jabs, but this new one, the mRNA process involving spike proteins which apparently travel all over the body. . .well, not for me, thanks. I'm "old school" when it comes to allowing children to develop as much natural immunity as possible. Truth is, almost no kids have died from Covid -- but a buffet of problems including cardiomyopathy have developed from the jab.
Under Biden, this country has gone immunization-insane. Did nobody care a whit when mRNA delivery system patent holder Dr. Robert Malone warned against injecting into humans something so new whose long-term effects are unknown? Did no one heed his advice when he said children absolutely should not be exposed to this needle yet? Apparently, the Biden "science" minions pick and choose. Fauci? Who cares? What aren't we being told every day, that's what I want to know. When people who received the jab seem to develop Covid more often than those who did not, what does that say? When recipients of the cult vaccine are immunized several times and still develop Covid, why do we bother?
It's no wonder the kids are having mental issues these days. If they don't have to worry about a parent or guardian insisting they get a Frankenstein needle jab, it's the schools coaxing them into believing they need to change gender with drugs and surgery.
Of government and private physicians, medical researchers and other medical personnel, we politely ask: Which caduceus do you carry today? The one reflective of your solid integrity? Or that of "cunning and invention and theft?" One has a sneaking suspicion that giant pharmaceutical companies currently rolling in the proverbial dough, doing everything to assure Covid vaccinations forever, know the latter well. Why leave the public with cheap Never-Ending Gobstoppers when government taxpayers will foot the bill for maybe or maybe not curative intravenous moon dust?
Tryin' to fly the friendly skies: We don't get it. Didn't all those folks stranded at airports read the news for the past several weeks? A serious lack of pilots, above all else, was destined to "crash" commuter plans. So where are all the pilots these days? Probably at the Southern border, enlisted by the Biden syndicate into flying criminal aliens and their drugs all over the country. For sure, by now stranded airport passengers would even accept drunken, suicidal airline pilots from Third World countries to get them to their destinations.
The January 6 hearings: The fact that Rep(rehensible) Nancy Pelosi refused to allow the smart and honorable Rep. Jim Jordan on this panel of folks otherwise psychically enrolled in the loosely associated we-hate-Trump club points out the stupidity of this seemingly never-ending televised commercial for the Democrat Party and its worst. Yes, Trump went considerably off track during those final weeks, but to be "investigated" by the likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinsinger -- and Adam Schiff, who has little integrity on reserve since lovingly chomping down on the phony Russian collusion hoax during Trump's first impeachment hearing -- is a concocted brew that comes up virtually without flavor in the grand scheme. You would think these people would be thrilled just knowing the TV network news anchors will keep the chain going every night, but they wanted more drama.
I.C.E. cold: We hope for the day when I.C.E. strengthens and does its border-related work with a vengeance, unencumbered by the left whose members belong in prison for years.
Racists' Corner #1: Celebrated Juneteenth this month, now that I understand it. It's when a bunch of white people freed slaves in Texas who didn't know they were already free because nobody told them. White soldiers saved the day. You're welcome. You know who you are.
Racists' Corner #2: You know, I wouldn't be doing this racist stuff if it weren't being shoveled on me every day. Aren't we all supposed to be equal now? There's no "equity" in the Founding Documents. There IS Andrew Gillum, but that's another story. Okay, here goes: Government scientists are concerned that the term, "Monkeypox" is racist, so they plan to change it. Why complicate this issue? Considering government incompetence at every level, we're surprised they didn't simply change "Monkeypox" to "Junglepox." There, that would certainly satisfy the invisible racial dilemma. Don't blame me, BLM didn't do anything for black people, either, except keep the money and purchase expensive goodies for themselves, right?
Quick but not deep thoughts (I guess):
Wouldn't it be great to get rid of the Fed, a non-government colossus which does little for Americans but print money, distribute it where it probably shouldn't, and easily explains its errors away? They are just banks -- BIG banks -- after all. If only we had stayed with the Treasury.
Funny how certain people demand "social justice," but refuse to accept social responsibility.
Baby formula and tampons become collectors' items: Don't blame me, I didn't vote for what clearly seemed the inevitable at the time. Whilst The Usual Suspects (Democrats who use their investigative skills to venture anywhere but toward themselves) continue their drama in cahoots with the DOJ (soon) and corporate media mouthpieces, Trump's accomplishments rank supreme -- that is, if one can find any remaining now after Biden's political AK blew them away.
Yes sir, to borrow from Apocalypse Now, there's nothing like the smell of expensive gasoline in the morning.
