More than one million people in a city in central China were being confined to their homes on Tuesday
after three asymptomatic coronavirus cases were recorded in the country's latest mass lockdown. Beijing has pursued a "zero COVID" approach with tight border restrictions and targeted lockdowns since the virus first emerged. But the strategy has come under pressure with a series of recent local outbreaks and with
just a month to go until the Winter Olympics.Yuzhou, a city with a population of around 1.17 million people in Henan province, announced that from Monday night all citizens were required to stay home to control the spread of the virus. The announcement was triggered by the discovery of three cases in the last couple of days.
People in the central area "must not go out", according to a statement posted Monday, while all communities will set up "sentinels and gates to strictly implement epidemic prevention and
control measures". The city had already announced that it was halting bus and taxi services and closing
shopping malls, museums and tourist attractions.
China reported another 175 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, including five in Henan province and eight more in a separate cluster linked to a garment factory in the eastern city of Ningbo.
Although the reported cases are low compared with elsewhere in the world, new coronavirus infections in recent weeks have reached a high not seen in the country since March 2020.
There were 95 fresh cases recorded in Xi'an Tuesday โ a historic city of 13 million people in neighbouring Shaanxi province โ which has been under lockdown for nearly two weeks.
Xi'an has reported more than 1,600 cases since December 9, although numbers in the last few days have started to slide compared to last week's figures.
Local authorities deemed to have failed in preventing virus outbreaks in China are often fired or punished, prompting a series of ever-stricter responses from provincial governments as they try to stamp out any cases quickly.In Xi'an, two senior Communist Party officials in the northern city were removed from their posts over their "insufficient rigour in preventing and controlling the outbreak". And last month, China's disciplinary body announced that dozens of officials were punished for failure to prevent the
outbreak in the city.
The spike comes as Beijing prepares to host the Winter Olympics next month.

Kill specific political targets in "problematic areas" and therefore quell uprisings....
Awesome marketing for the worldwide hoax and allows them to murder/crush resistance to the regime anytime they see fit.
If that's real - and I think it is - then I believe that it nudges the theory that we have alien/extra/ultra terrestrial tech beyond the 50% likelihood mark.

If it was "real" then it's just next level holographic projection stuff.
I would have loved to see that in person though. One could damn sure use that tech to even more fool the idiot sheepproles.

By the way, as I heard, you are quite in a bind at the moment. Not sure if it's of comfort to you, but being in the IT/SW business, I had quite a few smilar phases. As I believe, a lot has to do with one's attitude towards it. But some environments are just toxic, so leaving is the best solution.
Not sure if it is of help, but the people here [Link] are about to combine efforts and staff from the NHS that refuses the shot and the state-mandated killing, and rather leave. The might have good use of IT knowledge.
I'm really struggling with my attitude and a great deal of despair after my father's unexpected death in October and unresolved issues between myself and my older brother who was very nearly late to the funeral because his wife, instead of helping and making sure he made his flight, almost certainly introduced roadblocks to getting out the door on time (and couldn't be bothered to attend herself). And on top of that, he insisted on masking in the house with my mother and younger brother the entire time he was with us. The man who introduced me to Cosmic Trigger and taught me not to trust the media or government is good and properly fleeced.
I know there is no way for me to keep my current job through this year (even if I wanted to) because the CEO introduced a back to the office mandate which includes people who have worked remote for the company for literally decades. I will be mandated to report to an office a 90 minute drive away, except I will also be required to have a less than 30 minute commute, meaning I have to relocate to keep my job to a city that is more expensive and more densely populated. On top of that, while I currently have a religious exemption from the vaccine, they have stated they will revisit that decision every 4 months. Coincidentally, that coincides with the date the lease ends on our local datacenter. The writing is on the wall.
Add to that, I live in one of the few cities in the midwest that still has a mask mandate, which has prevented me from rejoining a gym so I can get some much needed exercise which I know would improve my attitude. I have been isolated from my coworkers for two years now, and have lost a lot of old friends who now believe I'm whack-o despite having once been someone whose insights my friends appreciated and respected.
I mentioned elsewhere I'm clean right now due to job hunting, so no more cannabis, which is something I simply need to give up anyway until I'm in a place where I have job security and no reason to be anxious. But really, I just need to give it up along with caffeine, which makes me anxious. I don't think it is helpful to me any longer despite the fact that it's kept me away from alcohol for the last decade (and there are a lot of alcoholics in my family). Two side effects of giving up cannabis is regaining dream memory and having vivid dreams. I woke a couple hours after I went to sleep last night and I was just angry. I don't know why. I don't remember if or what I was dreaming about before that, but I remember my dreams from the rest of the night and the last several nights and they have been weird. I think my mind is finally processing a lot of stuff I haven't been processing because I've intentionally and subconsciously been avoiding it. I just started reading My Big TOE by Thomas Campbell too, so it may be related to the simple act of reading books instead of consuming media that is putting my mind in a state of focus which is forcing me to confront all the things I've been avoiding.
I'm working on all of it, but it's not fun to be me right now.
However, things are about to getting worse here in general, especially with the impending vaxx mandates.
I think it is about time for civil disobedience. I will not do any PCR tests anymore, nor do wear a mask for work. Despite I can do 100% home office, I am not sure how that turns out, but therre is much more on the line than a job here. Including my wife's and my kid's lives. Keeping my head down and following orders only worsen things.
Good thing is, I have a financial reserves for a few months, and an emergency stock of food and stuff. I think a rocky time is ahead of us.
By the way, not only have I decided to do more workouts and (kind of) martial arts training, but to reduce alcohol consumption drastically. Not quite alcoholic, but it doesn't do me any good either.
As much as possible, don't let that SIL (or your brother's approach to all that) get to you. (Advice I need to also take.)
On the sleep side, there's melatonin, etc., but I'm sure you're on the ball on that.
Hang tough my friend.

You don't need any imaginary virus to make you sick. Plenty of stress, and real fear of an imaginary foe do the trick as well.
The other symptoms point in the same direction, I think.
When I moved to another location in my city last year, my rent skyrocketed (I had been fortunate that I lived with landlords who hadn't raised my rent for years), and I had to trim expenses. I had been using marijuana after retiring a number of years ago to help me sleep since I had worked late-hour shifts and partly slept during day hours. My sleep was whacked out. I let go of that aid and additionally couldn't even afford a bottle of wine after the move. I would usually have a glass or two with dinner. So for a year, I've had no weed or booze by sheer economic strigency in my life. I have never felt better. I had a few bottles of inexpensive champagne Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I actually realized how poorly I felt after a night of champagne.
Sleep is getting better and better. I have tried so many treatments. I settled on herbal sleep patches you can order through Amazon. My body doesn't tolerate melatonin very well so I cut up the patches into quarters and had good results (no drugged feeling). I also began using Clif High's Pure Sleep a month or so ago. His formula produced a feeling of deep sleep...not every night but fairly consistently. He's reformulating his product now (because of grinding issues) and will soon have a new formulation of Clif High's Pure Sleep at Pure Bulk [Link] where he sells.
I pulled a muscle in my back just before Thanksgiving which, thankfully, is getting better. Slow process at my age (73). I also realized that the muscle weakness stems from when I tripped outside and fell a few years ago breaking my shoulder. My entire body suffered damage on that side, and the fall pulled the chest muscles askew. Anyway, last night before bed I took a hot bath in Kneipp's devil claw bath oil (phenomenal) and a few tablespoons of appled cider vinegar internally (helps muscles) but forgot my Pure Sleep + patches. I slept so well. Totally refreshed this morning. I am rapidly approaching a time when I will need nothing to sleep well and awake refreshed. I also enjoyed the fact that, for some reason, the few flashes of dreams were views of happy events.
I have been dithering where I should move...since this move will be my last. With the uncertainty of Covid restrictions and the draconian totalitarianism falling everywhere, many initial choices don't look so good. I was disheartened to read on Clif High's Twitter an email sent him from someone who was looking for work and had been contacted by an individual who wanted to offer a job to build an application to track UNVAXXED in Idaho!! Where the hell will unvaxxed be "safe" in this country? Unlike others, I have no desire to leave this country...Mexico doesn't tempt me.
I would say "one step at a time," Artex. That's all any of us can do. Please take care. I hope the best for you. I will chant for you.
If I could move anywhere, I would probably try to ingratiate myself onto the Hopi reservation. Warm weather for the aches and pains, and all the history lessons I could ever want. Also, they are still in contact with their ancestors.
Stay strong, my friend. I can "hear" in your writing that you are a strong person. We have a saying in my Buddhism. Kind of like the old Western saying..."the darker the night, the nearer dawn." Only..."the greater the obstacle, [with your tenacity] the great the result."
In recent years I came to the conclusion that all high spiritual practices, whether Buddhism, Sufism, Qabalah, Hermeticism, what have you, all have the same origins. They are just the same thing with different cultural beginnings and symbology. Modern religion is the watered down version of these same things, and really is the opiate of the masses, because it soothes and calms many while giving them nothing of substance. One thing Campbell points out is belief without practice to bring about the experience is not knowledge. It remains a shallow belief. And sadly, even many faith leaders and very religious people haven't had communion with the universe, source, god, whatever you call the creator. You can't know god if you merely believe. "Faith without works is talk without works is faith without works is dead." [Link] So now I'm beginning my works. If I don't, bad things are in store for me, because the universe is pointing me down this path and I keep fighting it.

I've gotta guess that My Big TOE and 'theory of everything' are related.

One thing that stands out like a strobe light is that when Tom Campbell et. al. we're trying to figure out how and what to test and measure, the information they chose to try to verify was that of Seth Speaks (which I haven't read myself), channeled information. Campbell was working for Robert Monroe, who eventually attracted the military's attention. But the irony (as I recall) was those men who succeeded with Monroe's instruction lost all interest in any military application of those skills.
I'm particularly excited about this now as it's tying a lot of different stuff I've been studying together which is bringing epiphanies as a decent clip. And this is how I measure that I'm on track.
Hang tough.

Nicolay is channeled material, too. One of Monroe's students wrote a book called Matrix V (only available on archived web) relating his interaction and understanding from consciousness using Monroe's out-of-body technique, which is where I first encountered Monroe. I believe in Monroe's concept because, when I was listening to Tom Kenyon's sounds/music, I had unexpected psychic-type results. I often fell asleep because of smoking weed at the time. Monroe first began experiencing out-of-body when listening to tapes (in the 50s) which helped people "learn" while they slept...which led, I believe, to developing his technique.
No need to reply--just wanted to remark on the synchronicity of Monroe.
Whoa! This is cool! I see that they're going to be in Orlando on 2/8/21. I expect to be there. Thanks for that assist.

Tool almost never talks about what their lyrics mean. They have said that's for you to decide. And on their first several albums they did not include the lyrics because they thought it important you heard them as you heard them and ascribed your own meaning.
Also, Danny Carey for sure is a magick practitioner. He has talked about it a little. The rest have kept their beliefs close to their chest because they recognize the risk of cult like behavior from fans.
Once upon a time Maynard made a throw-away comment in an interview that they believe in Lacrimology, which isn't a real thing as far as anyone knows. But I have found meaning in even that, as tears are a release, whether joy, sorrow, or both. And Tool's music gives that to me and has helped me purge a whole lot of negativity. The important thing to remember is Maynard loved his mother very much and honored her in several tracks by Tool and A Perfect Circle.

Anyone willing to bet there will be olympic games, or not ?
My bet would be on "no". Or a pathetic disaster instead.
Showcase how they are the masters of the coof.
Maybe a dramatic "200 men in tyvek suits" couple of staged interventions of filthy foreigners? But with quick wrapups...
Just noodling my newfound Tyrant skills...
But well, there is still the Arab way ... I mean, I heard it about the Arabs first. They delayed live broadcasts of world football (soccer) championship matches for about 10 seconds, to blank out bare t*ts in the audience. Think it was Brazil 2014 ...
I didn't ever hear that about the tits! That's awesome. I still can't reconcile the Western world's fear of human boobs.
To quote Apocalypse Now:
We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!
I've never heard of that breast factor.

Despite I think the actual number of casualties is at least one order of magnitude higher than reported, this is an issue of assignment. My first guess is, there is random factor involved. Each lot (doctor ?, county ?) has a certain percentage of placebos and killshots, and the assignment to patients/test subjects is random.
Or alternatively, there is some arbitrator over life and death in the background (a person or software) which individually decides who receives what.
I see indications for both. Perhaps both methods are applied in different countries and regions.
By the way, I think the Chinese (and Russian) shots are not designed to kill. They have other plans with their population.
When you have a duo of proven and convicted murderous corporations working with another company that's never actually produced a viable product, and give them all complete immunity and billions of dollars.... Gosh gee... What could go wrong?
But the few independant analyses finding graphene oxide and/or hydroxide, polyps, or aluminium-based nano robots in the shots speak of carefully perpetrated malintent rather than neglicence ...
