Hi Catchese Hands...It certainly is becoming a big problem. I don't
trust politicians and governments all that much meself...And the problem
appears to be getting worse...as they introduce all sorts of measures
which are removing our basic freedoms of assembly and speech and to
organise ourselves...and turn more authoritarian, at the same time
saying that it is their so-called enemies who are causing the problems.
More draconian measures are coming along all the time, instead of giving
folks their liberty encouraging them in using and developing their
freedoms they are trying to suppress them.
I don't know what we are going to do about it...It's OK exposing all
those things which are going on, not so much hidden, or even
deliberately covered up; but just not reported by the media, or given a
different twist on it, hoodwinking...in a word...Social media, is a
multi edged sword, it can be there for good or for bad, or an echo
chamber for both, instead of developing individual thinking and
approaches to solving problems. Problems with the environment are
really kicking in now, with overheating, pollution and perhaps
irreversible changes taking place around the planets crust and
biosphere...Governments have been slow to recognise it, and
whistleblowers get pilloried instead of praised for opening up and
laying bare the problems....In the old days people turned to religion to
try and solve their problems, because they didn't understand them and
what to do about them. Nowadays the disillusionment is such that they
are turning away from it and going for the likes of Qanon...Still,
that's the way of the world of human beings...kick the problems under
the table until one either kills them or they rise up and bite one in
the bum...
I was just looking the other day, at the takeover bids by US companies
to buy out Morrisons a UK chain store of quality and reasonably priced
goods, they have so much capital sloshing around, they don't know what
to do with it. The slush fund of money created by governments in the
name of quantitative easing is being soaked up by huge international
corporations and the capital used to take over so many national
companies throughout the world. We soon will have nothing left of our
productive and distributive forces and what is left will be foreign
owned...The oil industry has known for years how much damage they are
doing to the environment, but kept it quiet until now and have tried to
prevent the development of other kinds of engines, unless it was to
their advantage. Something has got to give...but we seem to get half of
America trying to live out some fantasy that never existed in the first
place, and not even recognise that humanity faces in the next 20 years
or so...and even worse, try and suppress the rest of us who try to
expose, to argue, to place before them the problems which are developing
very fast, but to little avail...
With kind regards,
Dougie.
Need more of this.
I see people wearing shirts stating they are unvaccinated and proud of it.
The larger issue is the people losing faith in our institutions. It's sad but we need to regain the trust of the public.

Linda Estes could not wait to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Her
granddaughter, Liz Serrano, was more hesitant.
Serrano, 19, lives with Estes in Yakima, Washington, and doesn’t
like needles. She worried the vaccine could endanger her health,
despite overwhelming data indicating it is safe.
To ease her granddaughter’s anxiety, Estes, 64, brought Serrano
with her when she got vaccinated. The shot went fine, other than a
sore arm.
Seeing how smoothly the shot went for her grandmother, and hearing
of others who had similar experiences in the weeks that followed,
Serrano began to reconsider her position.
A discussion with her doctor reassured her that the vaccine was
safe. And a needle prick, she realized, was manageable if it meant
saving lives. After several months of thinking about it, Serrano
decided, “I want to do this — just do my part.”
In interviews with NBC News, individuals who were initially
reluctant to get their vaccinations said nudging from family
members, fears about emerging variants and having the ability to
shrug off rumors about the shot were among the reasons they
finally decided to roll up their sleeves, months after the shot
became available.
