The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Sometimes I really wonder how much longer the center is going to hold with this…

Does anyone else think the new portrait of King Charles is just their newest attempt to gaslight us? It seems uh, really red. And why do his hands and face look so skeletal?

Somebody tried to overlay it and say that it is Baphomet. Maybe but I really don’t know what they were going for with their summons:

Death metal group Eternal Suffering has already made a parody album cover out of it. I like this one better!

So I’m sure some of you are wondering how the whole medical check for my husband Ka’s visa to come to the United States went. So here’s the good, the bad and the ugly.

The Good: ALL vaccines were refused. I’d had a religious epiphany that considering the years of Hell I endured with my first husband Oh’s poor health I can’t go against my conscience like that. SO here I am at the same exact hospital facing down the same exact vaccine mandate as my jab injured first husband did, with my second husband who is perfectly healthy, but now with twice as many vaccines including Coivd-19 on the list. I think they had pretty epic case notes on us already from us walking out in November over jabs and multiple phone conversations. For anybody reading this facing visa jab requirements, push back.

The Bad: Now the only odd thing is that one of the nurses told us that if we refused jabs there would be a three month delay in processing the visa. I don’t understand why but my guess is that their evolving thought process toward especially the Covid-19 jab means that if you are truly religiously opposed, well they want you to prove it by being willing to make some sort of sacrifice or something. Your health and the rest of your life is more than worth three months in my mind.

The Ugly: I was feeling thrilled about everything as Ka was going through his other tests which I had no problem with. Knowledge is power and my husband like me needs to be actively dying to seek medical care so it hasn’t come up in years. That said I had considered the possibility of a delay or even outright denial of the immigrant visa over some supposed medical problem. Had I considered that we might even be targeted due to our strong and public antivax stance? Absolutely.

This one came out of left field even for me. The doctor informed us that Ka’s chest x-ray showed reticular opacities and nodules in his lungs and that it was not clear enough for them to rule out tuberculosis. Having no personal experience with tuberculosis whatsoever, I only know as much as the media and movies have told me about it, which is that it is this deadly wasting away disease of the lungs where you cough up blood and that modern medicine has cured it in places like the United States even though it kills millions annually in third world countries. And that’s why they have a BCG vaccine for it.

I’m going to contrast this with Ka’s general health right now, which is extremely good. I don’t think I’ve heard him so much as cough one time in the past few weeks and it’s been some years since he’s had any type of respiratory illness that I recall. He’s been working long 48 hour weeks at a construction site doing a lot of heavy manual labor like shoveling cement and crating rocks in wheelbarrows. I’m going to circle back to this. My husband sleeps around the same amount as I do, so seven hours per night and change. He’s thin as he always has been but has picked up some weight since working at the construction site. And also since I’m all kissy faces with my husband at night shouldn’t I be feeling sick myself with this dreaded condition? How much of what they’ve told us is true?

So they’re accusing my husband of maybe having asymptomatic tuberculosis. This is sounding like a familiar road. Their cure is testing his sputum for three days in a row at 3200 baht for EACH test, then waiting eight weeks for reasons unknown to me, then having my husband do another chest xRay for 16000 baht to see if the nodes are clear, then if not maybe repeating the round or taking some strong medicine which maybe clears it, maybe doesn’t, if he has TB at all. But then after all that I can get the precious panel physician certificate for the green card. Maybe. None of this includes the cost of travelling and staying in Bangkok hotel rooms and none of it in any way guarantees that something else won’t come up later.

Do I feel targeted? Absolutely. But this is sounding like straight up extortion. That said I do love Ka and obviously I want to know what’s up with reticular nodules on his lungs, so I googled it, not because I think that is the truth as much as I like to track the lies. There were a lot of scary things it might mean from lung cancer to Covid-19 to a resolved infection to TB to, well it could mean practically anything and always they just say to get more testing. I noticed the panel physician chose the only one on the list which both prevented my husband from making his visa to go to the USA with me which also was the most lucrative condition for them to resolve.

I’d say the Southern border looks better but I think this type of corruption inspired extortion is happening everywhere. It just adds up to the thousands of dollars quicker.

I did notice this search result related to the lung pattern the doctor supposedly found:

A reticulonodular interstitial pattern is produced by either overlap of reticular shadows or by the presence of reticular shadowing and pulmonary nodules. While this is a relatively common appearance on a chest radiograph, very few diseases are confirmed to show this pattern pathologically. Examples include: silicosis.

So what is silicosis, you might wonder? It’s a lung condition caused mostly by inhaling cement dust, like you might do if you worked at a construction site. The only condition they were sure was related to it was from inhaling chemicals, not viruses.

Dismantle the virus industrial complex…

It’s time to find another way…
