Life in the Hotspots
Our erstwhile Experts love pumping up the fear factor. It’s a simple equation: Fear-mongering = $ squared
Worked spectacularly well with the 911 Anthrax lab-escape - now look what we’ve got - Covid-19! - the fear-monger’s wet-dream...
In the throes of manifesting that spank-bank imaging, our heroes are still not satiated. They dream of more perversions... bigger ones:
This pandemic has been very severe, Mike Ryan huffs, reaches for the tissue box - But this is not necessarily the big one.
Back in the real world for a minute, how likely are zoonotic crossover events, in fact? According to THE Data?
I'll examine that data soon, but
Growing up in a country town, with a father who liked hunting-shooting-fishing, i did a lot of those. We’d go on 10-day camping trips up the Lachlan River. Shooting pigs (feral pests) was the main point, but also kangaroos (dog meat - human food if we didn’t get anything better), ducks (better human food), water rats (for the fur). That’s a full on viral Hotspot existence including bush-meat - literally cooked at-the-coal-face.
Then came home to 20 backyard chooks and racing pigeons (with attendant rats and mice and bats). It was my job to clean the shit out of those sheds - without a mask.
I fucking hated that job - breathing in shit-dust... it's definitely not good for your lungs - do wear a mask when you have to do it.
But i don’t remember being plagued by deadly coronaviruses. Neither i, or anybody, had ever heard of them until SARS-1. Now they’re everywhere supposedly. (edit: later i learned the whole bat-virus industry was invented by an Aussie-Gov-Org, CSIRO, in Geelong. By CSIRO's Head of Science, to be precise, right before SARS-1 happened: Linfa Wang (aka The Dark Knight)
These days, i still live in the countryside, go fishing, camping, though i'm not into shooting anymore. Still got backyard chooks, & wild animals roaming around, bats galore ... so a lifetime of continuous hotspot inhabitation. Should that be banned now? In the New Normal?
Despite the talk of bulldozers, cattle-farms, and mining causing Covid, according to Daszak et al’s actual theory - it’s people leading my kind of lifestyle who are committing the highest risk behaviour.
Interestingly, so are those living indigenous lifestyles. Take my Bunun neighbour, A-de, for example - our shared farming/hunting experiences is kinda how we clicked. He’s got a living-larder of farm animals at his house - goes hunting for wild pigs and goats. Then get this - traps/eats civets! I also trap them! (released far away) Because they raid chicken sheds - for the eggs mostly, but also chickens - daily if you don’t trap them. Never saw A-de wear a mask while doing any of the above. How high risk is that?! Quickly, ban it now - for the sake of humanity!
What Daszak et al are actually promoting, apart from more money for themselves, is a War on Indigenous Lifestyle. You'll never hear them say that directly - but that’s what it amounts to.
A modern, well run factory farm ...usually (has) better biosecurity, as people don’t want to lose all their animals – and income.
No farmer wants to lose all their animals - and income - i would have thought - or you mean their income doesn’t matter - just that of the subset of bosses of modern, well run factory farms, paying good money for Biosecurity Experts, like yourself?
Daszak laments: What you’ve got now is a lot of amateur farmers, who have converted old properties that are pretty unsecure from a disease point of view.
Ok, so now it's a War-on-Hippies, as well! In fact a war on Alternative Lifestyles in general - anyone wanting to get less reliant on an increasingly centralized system.
So what’s left in Daszak’s ideal world of biosecurity? When you cancel indigenous-alternative lifestyles? Apart from massive funding for biosecurity experts?
As per THE Science dogma, all roads lead to Data Centralization - with themselves at the centre.
