            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Call me crazy, although I’d rather risk a very strong cold than a blood clot.</p><p>I don’t understand what is going on with the rationality and critical thinking that human beings used to exert and cultivate through the ages; it feels to me as if we’re moving backwards intellectually as a species: I have a vague idea on what’s causing this neuronal capacity breakdown and underdevelopment, although it is not the subject of my current expression.</p><blockquote>I’m a trader, I assess risk for a living: there’s no way that a 99.7% chance of survivability underweights the unlimited risk of an experimental drug known and unknown side effects.</blockquote><blockquote><a href="https://www.openvaers.com/covid-data">Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, USA</a> (click)</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/480/1*egX9kdOYJ0UMpJKxFIMOfA.jpeg" /><figcaption>assume nothing! question everything…</figcaption></figure><p>I assume that I might be an odd case of rational homo sapiens sapiens+ or that I’ve managed in my idiocrasy to surround myself with irrational comrades, although most of the people around me: friends, family, colleagues, friends of friends, et al; are agreeing to experiment with their biology and possibly cause permanent damage to their bodies, their genetical structure: the very thing that makes them who they are, and consequently limit or worsen their remaining lifetime on this planet. And for what? I asked, and they cannot eloquently put into words nor describe vaguely what’s their thought process on such decision — as if they’re indoctrinated zombies, unable to think for themselves, executing pre-programmed orders blindly. I feel very sorry for my friends &amp; family, in a way that I cannot even fathom to express.</p><p>Assume you’re a person under the age of 50, 40, 30, and so on which is perfectly healthy: you eat good food, exercise regularly, meditate, live mostly stress free thanks to your financial freedom — you’re pretty smart or lucky, hence you’ve managed to do well for yourself and family during the first decades of your lifetime, and you’re leading a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle.</p><p>You’ve never contacted the Coronavirus or at least you didn’t notice if you ever had, you are generally healthy and never get much sick; you get rid of the common cold in a few days using a high dose of Vitamin C, a multivitamin and lots of liquids.</p><p>Explain to me, as data clearly shows that your mortality risk is lower than 0.3% and your chances of surviving the Coronavirus flu is over 99.7%: why in your righteous mind would you ever consider going through this list of possible side-effects: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/978316/050421_PF_DAP.pdf"><strong>COVID-19 mRNA Pfizer- BioNTech vaccine analysis reports</strong></a><strong>, UK Gov (click)</strong>, and decide to inject yourself with an <em>experimental mRNA drug</em> for no reason whatsoever other than to protect yourself from the potential eventuality of catching a very very very high survivability illness?</p><blockquote>Wouldn’t it make sense to any rational human being, that the risk of catching the flu outweighs the risk of a <strong>lymphatic system</strong> disorder?</blockquote><p>A healthy young person at barely half-life, decides to give their body and health away for experimental drug testing like they’re guinea pigs in order to possibly survive a flu like virus which has close to 0 chances of causing any harm whatsoever.</p><p>I’m beyond flabbergasted.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=b443a9d29cfe" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/632/0*V4CWXbA28N80prau" /><figcaption>Crowd saluting Hitler and one person defying dictatorship standards and risking imprisonment — are you wearing a mask still?</figcaption></figure><p>Our ancestors fought hundreds of years with their heart and blood to obtain fundamental freedoms and liberty for all. We are indeed very grateful for their efforts and definitely appreciate living in a better jointly-constructed understanding of the world, although what most of us don’t notice or choose to ignore is that the efforts of our ancestors are decaying in-vain as we allow the few to oppress the many over and over again.</p><p>Our freedoms used to be taken away at a comfortable pace and as we adapt to the subtle changes the “new normal” overrides the freedoms in our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructionism#Definition">social constructs</a> with control and oppressive alternatives.</p><blockquote>A frog will not escape a pot of boiling water if the heat is gradually provided to produce the boil. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog#As_metaphor">Be aware of gradual change or suffer the consequences</a>.</blockquote><p>The COVID-19 Pandemic is using fear again to deny people their constitutional rights and freedoms all over the world at a very fast pace which for most of us is not a comfortable pace and many find it very hard to adapt to the newly imposed restrictions on basic freedoms. I believe one of the reasons you see revolts all over the world protesting the imposed restrictions is due to basic freedoms being taken away too quickly.</p><blockquote><a href="https://www.icnl.org/covid19tracker">The International Center for Not-For-Profit Law</a> is providing our society with legal and unbiased data over how the people we’ve put in charge to take care of us are abusing their power and harming billions of people in the process.</blockquote><p>Years from now when most people will realize the abuses of our times. The select few currently in charge will play dumb to our accusations claiming it was not intentional, that they thought they’re helping us or that they just didn’t know better. Well, you all know it is their job to know better and I hope we as a community won’t let these mistakes go unpunished — too many have suffered immeasurable consequences by the hands of the chosen few. The few must be held responsible for their actions or they’ll never care enough to think twice before putting abuse into law.</p><blockquote>Feeling pain confirms that you’re alive, but only feeling other’s pain confirms that you’re a human being. ~Leo Tolstoy</blockquote><p>I don’t know exactly what is there to do in order to restore our freedoms and stop the few from oppressing the many at such a fast paste and with such a force; one of the things I’m sure of: willingly giving up our rights in exchange for fear and complying with the non-sense mandated by the inhumane decisions of “experts”, is definitely not the answer.</p><blockquote>Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ~Benjamin Franklin</blockquote><blockquote><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine">Thomas Paine</a> taught us ~300 years ago that the greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest of causes.</blockquote><p>You’re a human being, and I hope you’ve read and learnt your irrevocable rights and freedoms granted to you by the immense desire of liberty our <strong>Founding Fathers</strong> fought so ardently to obtain for all.</p><p>If you didn’t yet, you can start as it’s never too late to understand thoroughly what it means to live in a civilized society, and understand how easily are we being abused by the few. Please, protect yourself, your loved ones and all of us from abuse and tyranny by acknowledging your freedoms and liberties.</p><p>I’ve taken the liberty to provide links to the legal constitutions of some democratic regimes:</p><p><a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/">Constitution of the United States</a><br><a href="https://europa.eu/european-union/sites/europaeu/files/docs/body/treaty_establishing_a_constitution_for_europe_en.pdf">The European Constitution<br></a><a href="http://www.constitution.ru/en/10003000-01.htm">Constitution of the Russian Federation</a></p><p>I wrote this brief on the 1st of April 2021: almost ironically knowing today to be the only day where people critically evaluate things they find on the internet before accepting them as true.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=f917eea35730" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
