I am noticing more sirens around Sukhumvit in Bangkok, again. There was a 'booster campaign' in March. And low and behold the Bangkok Post (government) is pushing boosters again this month (the 'Gen2-Bivalent Pfizer vaccine'):
Comments are telling- the zeitgeist has changed...
It's good that you mentioned people's denial strategies in this post, this is highly relevant and important to understand what is happening. I have been researching the concept of willful blindness the past few days and will write about it soon.
I'm so glad you bring up the booster campaign I'll have to read and see if they did it in Phuket. March was just off the charts crazy with them though it has quieted down in the past few days. It would be wonderful if it's just the willfully blind dropping as opposed to ticking time bombs from 2021. Probably some of both
Aren’t the Thai government supposed to be taking Pfizer to court because of what happened to the kings daughter? I keep thinking that Thailand could be a good bolt hole if the mandatory medical procedures comes around again.
Good point. From the standpoint of Nashville Tennessee I noticed a huge increase in sirens in 2019. This was underscored because our Malamutes love to howl back at sirens. In 2019 we moved to an old house far more distant from the Nashville Vanderbilt medical complexes but even out in the country they were insistent. These sirens were like dark angels of the apocalypse.
Astute observation - “To be in this time of great dying - awake while walking among those in denial - is a destabilizing and destructive situation.” Indeed it is. It’s a dark, lonely place. Seeing the world through fresh eyes since the plandemic etc. is a most discombobulating and “floaty” experience. If I hadn’t discovered the excellent writers on Substack and hero’s such as Mike Yeadon then I’d probably still be (if not 💉 to death, that is) asleep, albeit still - more comfortably - existing as a naive normie. Comfortably numb as Roger Waters sang.
As for the sirens, they fell silent early in 2020 during the initial “shock and awe” months of Convid. This was when the final phase of the collapse of the UK NHS was enacted. The ambulance statistics in the UK remain truly shocking - though of course planned to be. Last I heard the government were looking at Uber ambulances that you booked via an app - all while in the process of having a heart attack or stroke, of course. However, this doesn’t solve the problem of where to drop patients arriving at hospitals when there’s no trolley space left in a corridor or store room. There are so many sad tales of folk dying because ambulances take so long to arrive. Christmas 2021 was a particularly bad year near me when several later middle-aged folks were failed by the system and ended up dying as a result. I won’t even mention my own travails - that could be Substack all of its own!
You could write it! Yes I've heard about the insane wait times with NHS. What I wonder is if it is getting better or perhaps people just die of the heart attack at home without bothering to book the Uber ride
Maybe I will(!) - a memoir of controlled systemic demise and the difficulties of extricating yourself from such a system when you’re in need of the essential services it has traditionally monopolised.
It is not getting better. At last count I think it was 7.2 million on the waiting lists for treatment. Staff are striking and leaving in droves. However, I do think that people are starting to turn away from the NHS if they have the means and sense (and the appropriate skepticism!) to do so. That is a massive cultural shift for the UK population as the NHS has been so ingrained as the “jewel in the crown” and the “envy of the world” (lol!).
The big problem is the vast majority of UK healthcare starts with the NHS - there are no alternative emergency services, for example. Everyone - with few exceptions - has an NHS GP
(Glad to see that the NHS are keen to recruit well-paid “diversity and inclusion” managers though. Who needs doctors and nurses anyway!?)
One would hope that perhaps the conscientious staff that were replaced or muscled out for not taking the jab say would try to form their own independent system, especially for say chronic care. Why don't doctors make housecalls any more?
Sadly, the UK is a small place (and getting smaller, more oppressive anyway) and the barriers to entry for setting up independent healthcare options is high. This is especially true since the plandemic with staff being deregistered and discredited for criticising the Covid policies and questioning the jabs. As I said, the NHS is pretty much the front-door to everything in the UK, even private healthcare. Though I’m sure demand would be becoming higher these days, the NHS is such a sacred cow it’s still widely considered heretical to criticise it. People have been so conditioned to be grateful for the NHS, even using private services is sometimes considered taboo and frowned upon. There was a massive MSM stink recently when Rishi Sunak (unelected WEFfie prime minister, installed via coup) didn’t immediately proclaim that he relied on the NHS and didn’t use private healthcare facilities when questioned. Meanwhile NHS trusts and contracts are being handed over to private interests. It really is a cartel.
Home visits are long gone and were before Covid, though Covid was of course the final nail in the coffin for that (safety and all that) These days “community care” means being shunted around various local clinics wherever and whenever appointments become available. Home visits apparently aren’t considered an efficient use of resources and lead to (yet more) delays in seeing patients - forget the needs of the patient and their families/carers. It’s also not a good business model for a volume-based GP practice. I have ongoing personal (negative) experience of this with my octogenarian father-in-law. The Brits meekly accept this, as usual. Meanwhile, we continue to pay high taxes and “National Insurance” (AKA more tax) to fund these collapsing/non-existent public services.
One billion baht paid to COVID-19 vaccine recipients experiencing side effects
This is over 29 million dollars.
The compensation rates are divided into three categories, at most 100,000 baht for a persistent injury or illness, at most 240,000 baht for losses of body parts or disabilities, and at most 400,000 baht for death or permanent disabilities.
Too rural for sirens, but I have been tracking deaths for the last few years in my state. Comparing previous years as far as I can. I am keeping a running total of deaths by age and also making note of the words 'unexpected' and 'suddenly'. There is an alarming amount of death in people under 60. I have learned to keep these things to myself as almost everybody I know is at risk and I do not want to create fear. I am still trying to figure out what my role will be during these times. I am reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying that has been sitting on my shelf for years. It is the right time for it. It is going to be a difficult for those of us who are watching the unfolding. My husband chose unwisely and almost died, but is now thriving thanks to medical intervention and a wife who follows the censored. Now that he is a wee bit more awake, I told him that if we have a major die off, our job was going to be to round up the dogs. I have a lot of land and am stocking up on dog food.
God bless you for thinking of the dogs. I agree also that I don't want to create fear in others. I have many close friends and two brothers who are jabbed. I don't need to cause them unnecessary worry. Now that said I do want to untangle some ways the people with the shots can perhaps test and find long term healing. They rarely seem interested until crisis occurs
A d-dimer test for clotting and troponin levels for heart muscle damage. I am stocking up on Lumbrokinase (natural blood thinner), NAC, Ivermectin, and Black Seed Oil. People are afraid and will likely not follow any of my suggestions (I am simply a visual artist), but I have been making copies of articles addressing the situation and possible remedies. It is a crap shoot at this point. thank you for bringing this out in your newsletter! People like you give us, the third who do not comply, a voice.
You nailed it there and it is somewhat of a dilemma that I am struggling with.
Like yourself I don't want to create fear and unnecessary worry for my loved ones that took the jabs.
I did everything I could to warn them beforehand not to do it. And I had to strike a balance there, as I did not want to alienate them from me by overloading them with 'conspiracy' information. So I deliberately did only sent approx once a month a personal message accompanied with an article that struck me as very convincing and that I thought would appeal to their common sense. But it was disheartening to see that the 24/7 jab-propaganda got the upper hand over my warning efforts and except for my 'smart cookie' daughter, almost all of my family members and friends got the shots.
Luckily none of them did experience any immediate adverse effects from the jabs (yet). But as all members here know, the jabs are a silent sniper. So now, I am facing the even more up-hill struggle of convincing them to consider doing a detox. This to stop or at least slow down the jabs continuous attack on their immune system and organs. But as your rightly remarked "they rarely seem interested until crisis occurs". And they now also have the 'I got the shot, and I am still OK' experience, so why should I listen to this deluded Doomsday Prophet that tried to refrain me from taking these shots that kept me safe during the Pandemic.
And in spite of all the above, I am still positive and optimistic without closing my eyes to the horrors that are taking place. Yes, we do live in biblical times and the forces of evil currently still have the upper hand but I have no doubt that they will reap with that sow, as there is no escaping to the law of Karma. And in mean time: don't lose hope and faith, remain positive and enjoy the journey...
Very well said. Nicolas Creed put out an interesting read on the psychological phenomena employed in that willful blindness that takes place. I saw it first hand with our roommate Paul, who even after his heart attack still said "I believe in the shots." Of course he watches a lot of television and he was a good person who did his part and his father and brothers died of heart attacks so it was just time and if it hadn't been for brave doctors and nurses he wouldn't be here and on and on. They just can't see it. I am so grateful for substack being a bright space in these trying times. Hopefully the discourse can evolve instead of always devolving...sometimes all you can do is pray for them...
nyc is an outlier because sirens are a regular nightly thing especially on the weekend. about march 20, 2020 and through the middle of that may there was a nonstop devil's choir of sirens up and down the avenues, empty ambulances moving at slow speed, in a big psy-op. they would start at about 8 and suddenly stop around midnight. i guess the virus had a bedtime.
at that point siren volume returned to normal and has not increased. but funerals are up. for example there's a church a few blocks away from my old place that was basically vacant until the spring of 2021 when all of a sudden they started to have funerals there. soon there were 2 or 3 a day and those numbers have not subsided. it was old people in the beginning but now i see from the crowds outside that many of the deceased are younger. some children.
glad to see the puppies thriving. are you still going to the buddhist temple or did you manage to get the electricity turned on again?
LOL I wrote this post at the Buddhist Temple. Actually have some sort of event I want to go to tomorrow morning. We still have no electricity per say but have managed with small solutions and enjoy my time outside...
Yes unfortunately a poll on substack allows one choice and limits to five possibilities. I agree 2021 and 2023 thus far the worst I've heard. 2020 insanely quiet 2022 between the jab years...
Constant from fall 2021-Winter 2022. 4 in one week, on my street. Slowing down since last month. I have given first aid 3 times in a couple months. People fall all the time here in Michigan.
Distinguished Doctor Bill Gates clearly explains WHY the world population must be drastically reduced. If CO2 is NOT reduced in the next 10 years, then the climate emergency will NOT be able to be controlled.
The DimWITS started saying this in 1989 and that's been more than 10 years, hasn't it? And the little climate slut from from Scandinavia is saying 10 years too along with AOC from NY.
Reduce CO2 or watch the Earth become too hot to sustain life. So do your part, go get boosted. The more shots you have, the sooner you will pass in the night. A heart attack only takes a few minutes to kill and then eternal rest. The ones dying in their sleep never know any pain ! It's easy and it's the right thing to do! /sarc
It started in 2023. In Hua Hin, I will typically see between 3 and 7 ambulances within a two-hour timeframe when I go out.
A couple of times, I saw through the window that it was a youngish Thai person, lying down and conscious with no apparatus plugged into them, so not a major heart attack but probably a dizzy spell or fainting. The other day, I saw a Westerner on the floor next to his motorbike, lots of people around helping him but no other vehicle or injured person so he probably had a fainting spell while riding and fell off. That same day I saw an elderly Thai woman exactly in the same situation, she apparently crashed her motorbike into a railing by the road.
I see more ambulances at weekends, probably because people get more excited and drink alcohol which stimulates the blood flow.
My brother lives in London and he tells me it's just insane, they're everywhere and the most eery thing is that everyone is behaving as if it was not happening. It's kind of like being in the movie They Live. He was also on holiday in our home French town last month and he sent me several pics and videos, basically they're everywhere there too. When I was there last year, there were no more than in previous years.
It all started in 2023 and it seems to be the same everywhere. It's scary.
I saw a few more than usual on the roads in Las Vegas. There was a spike around New Year's Eve but that could have been parties stuff. Something I noticed though is when our roommate had a heart attack the ambulances drove away with him in silence. That seems a bad emergency to keep the sirens off for. So perhaps they're keeping them silent more...
Creepy! Another thing I saw in France was people crossing the street without looking, completely oblivious (it's harder to tell in Thailand, where I live most of the time, as people have always done that kind of stuff here).
It would be interesting to see stats on vehicle accidents.
Spring, summer and fall of 2021 when the jabs were rolled out here.
Amy, would you think and write some more about how it is to live knowing what we know when all
around us are in denial? Because it is still like being in a nightmare ...and I have no idea what the effect on all of us is....and I think it is important.
I know that death has a long tail and the storm hasn't even passed over yet. So it is so hard for so many to take stock in what has happened. I've felt increasing sympathy for the jabbed think positive types over time. I just can't do that. In the end an understanding and respect for death should provide a newfound appreciation of life. But so far it's mostly delusion I'm seeing. There's a wonder it doesn't break people at some point. You can't take any of it with you
"We live in a world of denial. If you know much about denial you understand that those suffering from it will believe almost anything other than face the truth."
Ninja's "truth" ..... that the world is really fkd...... does not seem to be very popular . I guess articles like this, about all the dying, should somehow be viewed in a different way . Should always be amended with the popular religious, spiritual, or quote that indicates the writer is still optimistic about the end result. That seems to get many "likes".
I believe what I see in the present, especially when i remember the past which in my truth was much better . As for the future .... ? Once again, i "speculate" based on what I see ........ not what i hope for.
We all CAN make changes .......... diet, exercise, attitude, lifestyle , honesty, humility , compassion .
Live what you want others to be . And if you want to sing the Beatles "don't you know its gonna be, alright" as you walk about ........ i hope you don't sing out of tune :-)
I'm sure I could have put a biblical quote as a way to have a slightly more uplifting tone. I'm starting to think we're living in Biblical times. That's where my optimism comes from...
I talk to George Carlin a lot . Sometimes over a drink we talk, in our NY accents and expletives, about many subjects . When i talk with him I feel good .
Everyone should have something to turn to for comfort.

Yes it is all about instilling fear. Now at least we have more proof fear can kill.

Finally an article about this. Thanks!
It started in 2023. In Hua Hin, I will typically see between 3 and 7 ambulances within a two-hour timeframe when I go out.
A couple of times, I saw through the window that it was a youngish Thai person, lying down and conscious with no apparatus plugged into them, so not a major heart attack but probably a dizzy spell or fainting.

So perhaps they're keeping them silent more...
Also have seen people driving 10 mph on the shoulder of busy streets. Zombie-like😪
Creepy! Another thing I saw in France was people crossing the street without looking, completely oblivious (it's harder to tell in Thailand, where I live most of the time, as people have always done that kind of stuff here).
It would be interesting to see stats on vehicle accidents.
Good point! I do see some speeding without the siren on occasion.

I believe what I see in the present, especially when i remember the past which in my truth was much better . As for the future .... ? Once again, i "speculate" based on what I see ........ not what i hope for.
We all CAN make changes .......... diet, exercise, attitude, lifestyle , honesty, humility , compassion .
Live what you want others to be . And if you want to sing the Beatles "don't you know its gonna be, alright" as you walk about ........ i hope you don't sing out of tune :-)
I'm sure I could have put a biblical quote as a way to have a slightly more uplifting tone. I'm starting to think we're living in Biblical times. That's where my optimism comes from...
I talk to George Carlin a lot . Sometimes over a drink we talk, in our NY accents and expletives, about many subjects . When i talk with him I feel good .
Everyone should have something to turn to for comfort.
Gotta love George Carlin! He saw it clear...
I have beer :-D
