A Farewell to Virology: an invitation to get rid of unnecessary fears

Mark Bailey

Excerpts from the preface by T. Mohr:

Dr. Mark Bailey's "A Farewell To Virology (Expert Edition)" is a courageous attempt to convey the criticism of virology in a concise and comprehensive form. His treatment of the matter is convincing and challenges a serious, thorough response from all those who want to defend the field of virology, as it is currently practiced, as a valid science.

The fact that, as far as I know, he has not yet received such a response should be understood as a scandal and a challenge to the broader movement that has arisen in response to the corona program. Despite all its weaknesses, by and large this movement is characterized by a radical open-mindedness and impartiality. The brazenness of the attack of the world's ruling classes has taken the scales off the eyes of many people and made significant, formerly complacent sections of the world's population rethink even their most deeply rooted assumptions about the nature of the world. Of course, this has also made the movement vulnerable to various forms of misinformation and manipulation. However, even more harmful than the most outlandish theories were the "moderate", "reasonable", bourgeois elements within the movement, who constantly tried to discipline, curb and control the free and open discussion of issues that were considered to be beyond the norm.

Many were still able to see through the trick of those politicians who pretended to ignore or trivialize the virus as part of a carefully coordinated spectacle. But few apply a similar test to the peddlers of various "laboratory leak" narratives. Bailey rightly calls this one of the most harmful tendencies in our movement. Of course, this tendency is constantly being promoted, because it ultimately leads to the fact that the far more profound and radical social criticism – and the resulting political consequences –, which repeatedly arose spontaneously in the movement, is pushed into the background. 

While the movement is slowing down and being slaughtered by various leaders and experts, we should think about the power of the people, which manifested itself in the acute phases of resistance, as well as about the possibilities that it hinted at and which were so quickly suppressed by the bourgeois, moderate leadership. We cannot be successful if we appeal to the ruling classes or their well-paid scientific followers, however thorough, clear and truthful. We need to consider radically different approaches to science, in which the masses themselves – not the isolated expert – are the subject (and the object).

Nevertheless, Bailey's text is an invaluable source. He will be of value, first of all, for those who are already partially convinced or want to seriously engage in the argument. We must strive to make this a constant topic of debate and discussion in our circles if we want to revive some of the vitality that the movement once had and, most importantly, to awaken its even greater potential.

Unfortunately, I could not find anything, whether the article is also available in English. I was just scrolling through, I can't concentrate on such long texts at the moment. It is probably a basic settlement with the "officially approved" virology.

The same happened, when the Saxons arrived in Britain:

Thus the barbarians, admitted into the island, succeed in having provisions supplied them, as if they were soldiers and about to encounter, as they falsely averred, great hardships for their kind entertainers. These provisions, acquired for a length of time, closed, as the saying is, the dog's maw. They complain, again, that their monthly supplies were not copiously contributed to them, intentionally colouring their opportunities, and declare that, if larger munificence were not piled upon them, they would break the treaty and lay waste the whole of the island. They made no delay to follow up their threats with deeds.

igitur intromissi in insulam barbari, ueluti militibus et magna, ut mentiebantur, discrimina pro bonis hospitibus subituris, impetrant sibi annonas dari: quae multo tempore impertitae clauserunt, ut dicitur, canis faucem. item queruntur non affluenter sibi epimenia contribui, occasiones de industria colorantes, et ni profusior eis munificentia cumularetur, testantur se cuncta insulae rupto foedere depopulaturos. nec mora, minas effectibus prosequuntur.

:Today, US Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced legislation to address her concerns surrounding the alleged misuse of digital currencies in illicit activities, citing money laundering, drug trafficking, sanctions evasion, and more.


Senator Warren's bill aims to mandate stricter reporting requirements by extending the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) responsibilities, including Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements, file reports on "transactions involving unhosted wallets", and more. All in attempt to close "loopholes and bring the digital asset ecosystem into greater compliance."

Putin - on abortion: Are there any bans?
Not yet. But it is possible to increase the number in private clinics. Why do they talk about some bacchanalia and bans? There are none.
   

I remember the bans in the anti-alcohol campaign. We remember what that led to. It led to the use of surrogates, to an increase in moonshining. We need to act carefully in this area. I know the position of the Church. The church cannot have any other position, because the church fights for everyone's life. At the same time, I mentioned the sad results of the anti-alcohol campaign, and we should keep this in mind. The state is interested in solving the demographic problem if women would make a decision after finding out about pregnancy in favor of preserving the life of the child. This is an obvious thing. A woman's rights and freedom we have must be respected too.

To translate from Russian into general: there are state issues, and there are whores who want to capitalize on this issue. That is why we have strangled private clinics a little. We will look at the dynamics and results of measures in the aggregate.
Our task is to find a compromise solution so that the whores cannot make money by killing children, but also to take into account the opinion of women.
In addition, we need to work on the educational issue of young people, so that a man feels responsible as a man and a father, and a girl as a mother. This is the problem here, and it will take a long time.

Slavyangrad - https://t.me/Slavyangrad/79164
You can't ban abortion! You can't get child support from dads!  And on pennies (indignant note - fucking pennies, however, if i knew how to give birth like a man, he'd be a hero dad) you can't get a child from the state!
On the solution to the problem, he believes that the solution lies in two areas:
►Promotion of traditional values
Improving the material condition of citizens, the equipment of women's clinics and the quality of medical services. Improving the standard of living of citizens in general and families with children in particular. These issues are being addressed and solved.

►Strangle the bitches who make money on abortions - private clinics (it's a market, where there is profit, there are regulations - Americans should understand this - note).

Putin on migration:

- The problem is not simple, it is characteristic of many countries in the world, for us too, we have about 10 million migrants

- We have a need for migrant labor (with record low unemployment), but this does not mean that we need to attract migrants here at all costs.

- We need to start working in advance with the countries where migrants come from. They are only in favor - open Russian-language schools, pay attention to education.

- It is necessary for all migrants to respect the laws and norms of the Russian Federation

- We need to create normal conditions for migrant workers.

- Would it be better if we abandoned the children of migrants (and did not educate them)? On the contrary, we need to influence them, we need to work with them and train them.

- Perhaps we need a special body, not only the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which would look at the problem in a comprehensive way.

- We must first and foremost be guided by the interests of the local population - citizens of the Russian Federation.

Here is an example of a solution to the problem of the southern border of the USA. The U.S. opens English-language schools in Mexico and educates and raises future migrants there, if they become migrants, of course.
It's not all money to spend on military bases around the world. A migrant should know the culture, the language, the law.
The right profession based on the needs of the economy ( God, it's a Soviet planned economy, ahahahaha)

Moldova
Putin: If Moldova does not want to be a participant in the integration process, this is the choice of the Moldovan leadership. Then so be it. Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Just recently it was the poorest country in Europe. Now Ukraine has taken this honorable place. If the poorest country in Europe, receiving the same energy from us at low prices, wants to follow the example of Germany, which now receives energy from the U.S. at 30% more expensive than before from Russia, well, please. If there is extra money, let them do so. For us, the presence of this country in the CIS is of no great value. But we're ready we're not giving up, we're not shoving anyone away.

Humor played a big part in the nationwide event... direct line questions were displayed
(no matter what)
3 examples:
►"Vladimir, call me back, please. E. Macron."
People are joking, yes.
Official event-don't care) a sense of humor has its place.


►"This question will not be shown!  I want to know when the president will pay attention to his country: there is no education, there is no medicine, there is an abyss ahead...."
"Pure old Soviet liberal theme - the authorities are afraid and hiding. Well, well, well, show me the paper that you appealed to the responsible authorities? You got a paper? Well, take this paper and go to the prosecutor's office. What do you mean, no paper? How do you know they're hiding and afraid? Did you ask?" - Putin
(((And if Putin isn't looking after the country.... you probably don't remember Yeltsin. And the question showed!))))

►"Vladimir Vladimirovich, hello! I am a student and study at St. Petersburg State University. I would like to ask you how many doppelgangers you have? And one more thing: how do you feel about the dangers that artificial intelligence and neural networks bring to our lives"
"I see that you can be like me and speak in my voice, but I thought about it and decided that only one person should be like me and speak in my voice. And that person would be me. That's what one of our figures joked. This is my first doppelganger, by the way." - Putin

Arestovich:


"Putin gives a press conference on a yellow-blue background. If Zelensky spoke on white-blue-red, he would have been burned by now.

Putin: As for the growth of Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, Russophobia and other manifestations of this kind, yes, there is an upward trend.


This is due to the fact, in my opinion, that people are facing some kind of injustice. Look at what is happening in Gaza. Throughout the Islamic world, there is a certain reaction and an increase in the number of people thinking radically in this regard. That growth is obvious. The number of such people is increasing. There is nothing good here. This is the result of the policy of certain elites and the unresolved issues for decades, the lack of a just solution to the Palestinian problem. The reaction of the Islamic world and then the growth of anti-Islamic phobias. This is very bad.
