I haven't seen it but I was thinking just yesterday of a movie I had seen bits and pieces of a few years back, "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" (2012) with Steve Carrell. Then there's "Children of Men" in 2006 and I guess "On the Beach" from 1959 has a similar theme.
This movie gives you a real look into what the world will be like for us when the vaccinated leave us.
If by chance you didn't really "get" the last line of (The Human Tragedy of Untimely Deaths) "And for us, those who will be left, those who will be witness to all the millions of tragedies about to unfold; we will be left with things, never-to-be-done, and holes in our hearts, never to be filled."
You will completely understand it after watching this movie.
LOL John.. it is soul altering given our current situation. I would recommend seeing it twice. I was a bit overwhelmed during my first viewing of it. It is depleted uranium heavy.
I'm old enough to remember hearing that song by Tommy James & The Shondells on AM radio in my early teens. I've been hearing it in my head since Lawrence's email hit my inbox. Haven't watched the movie yet.
I am old enough to know all the lyrics and since I was a vocalist, I spend three days (so far) singing it at the house here for the dog. So... I am with you on this one Dee...LOL I love the song... I remember hearing in my car as I drove (cruising) around town. It brings the feelings and memories of those times back to me every time I hear it.
I was singing it in the house today while my husband was out playing golf, although my dog doesn't seem to appreciate it. He's used to hearing me sing Grateful Dead and alternative rock songs in the car. :)
On the Beach - Nevil Shute's novel. Yes. I remember reading it in the 70s and thinking that it was a very frightening prospect, but that the threat had receded. Could not then have imagined the present version of mass demise via mostly willing self poisoning.
Yes -. That had been a long time ago now. But yes I remember reading it too. But now we see how easy it was to get 5.5 billion people to willingly line up to be euthanized. It like a SF Horror movie come to life.
Ok just finished watching it. It’s was really interesting, especially the transhumanist twist at the end. Will we ever truly escape evil as humans? No, probably not. But it is worth trying to carve out a niche. I find this an interesting contrast to a TV show I saw, called ‘last man on Earth.” Interestingly enough, pretty recent and also along the lines of everyone dies of a virus, except a few. That show was funny.
I don’t think it’s going to be a catastrophic dieout like in these shows, but day by day, more and more will die with less and less born. How will that effect us as a world, as a society?
I do think about photographs, books, things that don’t need technology. How important it is to print out pictures of family and not just have them on my devices.
This is extreme die off for sure. My town has 65% jabbed up. How many will die? Who knows right? Probably many of them... Will my little corner of my neighborhood be empty except for me? Maybe. No matter how many actually die... we are going to experience some horrible things in the near future. This movie is about how the characters deal with mass death and an empty world. And most importantly it exams how they choose to heal themselves and the world.
Lawrence, I am not on twitter anymore but ethical skeptic just posted some awful numbers... Cancer deaths are at 8.9 sigma, and non covid natural deaths are at 6.2 signma highs..I think this is the link:
You are correct... or least most cannot hear them.... But soon there will be no denying what has happened. Large parts of entire forest will collapse in front of everyone's eyes. And then the mass hysteria of the vaccinated will begin. Just image waking up one day to find out that you, your wife and your kids have all been euthanized by a state sponsored (and mandated), healthcare system expedited, media and big tech promoted injection? People are going to lose their minds and do some crazy stuff.
I know alot about the Civil War. Just imagine this: After the Civil War - every family in the United States had lost a least one member in the war. Some has lost many more. This is going to be worse. Much worse. This is going to be an extinction like event for mankind. The world as we have know it is coming to an end.
Oh dear. I had two ancestors in the Civil War, both came home. I have one of them's trunk.
I had no idea, but as a proportion of the population, I must have been horrific.
I think we should expect the same...damaged or crippled or dead...and this has been an undeclared war on our country...by our leaders and I think by the CCP along with WEF on us the people.
We expect wars to come with declarations and military, but this one is coming with none of that. One of the first things they did was to destroy our military...all branches, with mandates. I will never get over that.
A large percentage of the deaths in the Civil War were from disease. Dysentery killed more that bullets.
The numbers are pretty scary. World Data is saying 67% of the planet's population has had a least one injection. Not all but most of these injections are MRNA oriented and deadly. So with around 7.96 billion on the planet that means we have the potential to lose 5.39 billion people. The United States has a population of 338,289,000 with 78.66% with one injection or more = 253 million dead. We will have very little of our military left. Luckily our nuclear defense does not take many people to keep operational.
Prior to 2020 Moderna had done several human trials using mRNA vaccines that, I believe, utilize a similar lipid nanoparticle to the ones used for their COVID one. Here are all the completed ones:
Some of these studies weren't completed until 2020 or 2021, while others started as early as 2016 and ended in 2018 or 2019. Each has only around 100 or so trial participants but surely there are enough survivors among them that it shouldn't be too difficult to find one to do an op-ed to assure all the vaccine hesitant that the mRNA platform is proven not to have a 100% death rate after 2-5 years at least. (Though even if that is the case for the vaccines here made for viruses such as influenza, cytomegalovirus and Chikungunya it wouldn't mean that the mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 is safe given the hazards peculiar to the novel spike protein)
Surely they can dredge up at least one survivor that was given one of these shots five or six years ago that isn't maimed or debilitated with severe vaccine injuries?
None of the research for these studies has been published... so until it is, we should all assume the worst.
Watched it last night. I think it would have been more horrifying if it had started when the die off occurred. There was too much distance for me. I like doing my own thing, so I'm not terrified of that. I'd probably take it as a challenge to stay alive.
Children of Men affected me much more.
Has anyone seen any reports on people who had c19 prior to getting the vaxx? I've got two in my immediate family and they haven't caught it again and seem to be doing ok.
Watch it again. It is a bit overwhelming. I was for me. It is the examination of the minds of people who survived and now must deal with their own pain and the pain of living in a dead world. The main character chooses to remember and honor the dead as a path to his own healing and the healing of the world. The other folks choose to heal by forgetting via computer induced brain alterations. We will most likely be in the same position as the mass genocide plays out across the planet. Which is why Pure Bloods need to watch this. Will we choose to remember or try to forget it ever happened? How will we choose to heal from what is coming? I hope we will forever remember what has happened here... so it never happens again.
I watched it yesterday. I need to watch it one more time. Most of us like routines. Del cleaned houses and had library work. There is a bit more to it than that as we go. He was by himself and he was used to that, he was ok with it. Then someone crashes into his life. This was quite a fascinating movie and had well-known actors. I don't understand some parts so I'll watch it one more time and pay closer attention. Also, it helps to just roll with it, don't try to rewrite it as you watch.
In my mind (everyone will see it differently I think) this is an examination of the minds of the people who survived. And when I say examination, I mean the writer and cinematographer tried to show us how the characters were each personally dealing with the mass death that they had witnessed and now lived with on a daily basis. It is about how the human mind adapts (and maintains its sanity) after the most extreme situation that can be imagined. Call it PTSD, Shell Shock or the thousand yard stare but it's all the same. Mass death creates mass trauma for those who live through it. Our main character chose to deal head on with what happened and create healing for himself (and the world) by honoring, remembering, documenting and burying the dead. The folks in the surreal city in the sun had chosen to use technology to induce forgetting about what had happened and the people it happened to. We Pure Bloods will most likely be traumatized by what is surely going to happen to our world. Will we choose to remember the dead and what has been done to them or use our technology to forget it every happened?
And the young lady who was in one way of living and did not want that. She managed to find someone who was living differently and it appealed to her. Thanks for the heads up about this movie, it provided much food for thought. I've been journaling this surreal life we are living right now. It contains the mundane and the bizarre. I had no idea what squawk 7700 was before all this. Now, when I get a chime, I check to see what flight is affected and are they having to divert to a different airport. It happens almost daily and the people who've followed flying for years say there used to be just a few a month. Now, it's about 5 or 6 a day. I haven't really counted but it's around there. I also write about trying a new recipe, a daughter about to head to college, blood clots in people, who has 'died suddenly', and I pray for the babies and children. I had a spreadsheet going on with who has died with a column each for famous people, other notables, and local or people I knew. I stopped when my dad died in mid-January. I will pick it up again. I don't want to forget and I do want to leave notes behind for someone to read and get an idea of what we went through.
Yes she made a choice to remember just like you are doing. It was her way of healing and probably is your way of healing too. So do what heals and keep you sane in this time of insanity and depravity. I download the 7700 app about 6 months ago. OMG - I would get a few every week and now I get 5 or 6 alerts a day. It amazing and scary. Soon the airline industry will be almost completely shut down. Take care.
Lawrence, we we talking about this movie and I told you I turned it off because of the dog? If so reply, I got it finished. tonite. And it is kinda good....I figured it out and I'd like to talk with you again?
Very good.... I will ask you your question then.... We are all very much aware of what is happening in our world with the "injection" and that billions (apparently) have gotten it. If our world turns into something like the world in this movie, would you choose (inspite of the horrible mental trauma you now have) to forget about what has happened and who it has happened to or would you choose to remember what has happened and who it happened to? Would you be cleaning houses, burying the dead with dignity and documenting their existence or have your mind cleared of the memories and pain so you could live a happy life?
I absolutely would choose to remember....and do you know how I know? I went and found Out of Africa and watched for a few minutes. Because I too had a farm in Africa....
I couldn't this this time hear the sound very well and coudn't make the close captioning work..
Do you remember...what did Del say after she went into the house that wasn't on the map after "You shouldn't be in here" and "was it your house'? I didn't get it. something about "it was supposed to be me"...something about I was on the playground at recess???
It was key but I replayed and coudln't get the words...
Boy I went on line after and the critics weren't very nice about the ending....but had a lot of praise for dinklage...not so much for Fanning.....
I think I would have tweaked on line....when she says "you had no one....I had every one"...unless I am misremembering. I would have said "you have nothing...I had everything.".
Because without memory...we have nothing. With memories, we have everything.
You are correct. We are an amalgamation of memories and in many ways a product of the events that are behind them. I have a memory attached to everything in my house. I cherish a lot of this "stuff" because of the memories attached to it. And you are correct that forgetting is a very high price to pay for "happiness".
There is one caveat with memories. The memories of horrific events have a deleterious effect on our mind and consciousness. I am not at all surprised that you would choose to remember. I think I would too. It's the right thing to do, right? Most people want to do the right thing.
I bring this up because I have read accounts of what happened during the Black Death in Europe and the Zeitgeist that was created after the dying ended. It was of course a different world but I saw striking similarities to what is happening right now. Anyway, to get to my point here... the characters in the movie were tying to find something to heal them. They were all suffering from a massive trauma. Call it Shell Shock, Battle Fatigue, PTSD or the Thousand Yard Stare, they all had the events, the people and the images of the mass death haunting their minds.
So this movie is important for the Pure Bloods because; they need to prepare their bodies, minds and souls for an upcoming unimaginable world of horror that is about to begin. And finally, the Pure Bloods must be able to find ways to heal that involve remembering.... to make sure this never happens again.
And after having seen my mother with Alzheimer's, I cannot think of anything worse...to not remember...to not know your children....yourself...too much of a price to pay.
I get that - I was the same way - I am a total dog person (4) - it really killed me too. Just go back later - there is no sugar coating on anything in this movie. You may need to watch it twice (I did) because it is a bit overwhelming the first time. Watch it, wait a couple days and watch it again. Then I will ask the most important question of your future life. I think I already know what your answer will be.
I will. I will keep watching a little bit every day. I used to love distopian movies and shows like the Walking Dead...now, for some reason, I can't bear them... I think I've been fearing something like this subconsciously for all my life, so was trying to learn, but now I want another kind of show or movie...maybe to teach me how to live again.
Watched it last night. The visuals are fantastic, but the soundtrack called attention to itself too often. I kept thinking of it as the perfect sequal to Don't Look Up (when Jonah is the only one left in the White House) and what would he have done, but what the Dr in California did. This movie seemed far ahead in its vision. "Make sure to wear your mask" to "everyone wants to forget the past" to come. The shift in the film with the kiss was quite a jolt out of what seemed like a sleepy comedy, foreshadowed by showing the mark on her neck, what she has hidden. Then, the ending, driving through happy land of zombies. Yep, that's post-reset.
We sometimes see what we want to see I think? Having spent time with books about the Black Plague and the years following it, I see this movie a struggle within the minds of those who are left. The trauma associated with mass death is not like anything we can imagine. The writer and the cinematographer I believe did an excellent job presenting this trauma in real people. The choice of dealing with a “thousand yard stare” is stark and powerful. Honor, document, bury and remember the dead or forget about them via a computer stimulated mind wipe. The choice is clear for me. I would be cleaning houses and honoring the lives of the dead. I would choose to remember. Others would choose to forget. In our current situation, we will need to remember. Because we must make sure it never happens again.
It was a neat premise. Either coping with the tragedy head on or relying on science to ease your pain. It seems to me being busy and rebuilding would be the best therapy instead of mind alterning technology. Our ancestors had to deal with continuous tradegies. Life was hard compared to our modern leisure society so it is in our dna to adapt.
Yes Andy at it's heart this movie is about adaptation. How does the human mind deal with mass death? Mass death creates mass trauma. Our main character's path to healing and dealing with the pain and trauma is to honor the dead, document their existence, clean their houses and give them decent burials. This is more than just healing for himself. This is healing for the world. Forgetting is not an option for him. We Pure Bloods will suffer trauma on an unimaginable scale if what looks like is going to happen actually happens. Which is why I want my subscribers to watch this. They will need to soon make a choice to heal by remembering or by forgetting. I hope them choose to remember. Because remembering will hopefully insure that it never happens again.
I wonder how the die offs happened in the movie. Maybe i missed it but it seemed like a quick die off. If it were a slow die off the movie would been different plot and settings. I think there will be a lot of chronic illness that will weaken people and remove them as productive members of society. Who knows the exact impact to society but one thing for sure it won't be positive because services and resources will be hard to get. I guess we have to wait for flu season to see the extent of the damage.
Doesn't really matter for purposes of the movie or the reality will we will face. One by one they are hauling people out of my neighborhood. Soon their will be no EMTs to do the hauling and no functioning medical system to treat them. Many will die in their homes. In a year their will be how many empty houses with for sale signs or no signs on them in my neighborhood? 65% Jabbed here with 95% jabbed among my age group 65+. Spray painting to mark the houses that no longer contain bodies will also be appropriate. We will most likely have wild dogs and other animals roaming the streets along with orphaned children. Not going to be fun time for us.
Watched it on your recommendation. A very striking film. I will watch it again because as someone obsessed with sound/music, the one main thing that struck me was the skill in which sounds were created, meaning: barely audible tones/atmospheres, conveying the empty world, the whole Tarkovsky-like thing going on. I feel that the appearance, and then DISappearance, of the dog, has more depth to it than I currently surmise. There were some truly frightening moments. Latest estimate was 500 million worldwide might be dead/seriously disabled because of this thing. Way off base? Perhaps. But what I see in this movie "fantasy" land corresponds to what I see in today's reality more than I care to admit.
I will reply after more have a chance to watch it. But you seem to have experienced it much like I did. I don't know about the numbers - official numbers that I put together last week = about 5.9 billion with 1 or more jabbed. 10% dead is 590 million. So a 20% death rate would mean we will lose a billion people. Numbers like this are just impossible to comprehend. We can only hope I am wrong.
I'm still not convinced that we are heading for this level of massive die-off, Lawrence. Sure, the jabs are appalling and the way they have been administered is a crime against humanity for which I hope the perps hang. However, although there is a steady drip of "suddens" and "unexpecteds" in the obits, the numbers are still small. As I write, we have fast-paced sports competitions taking place (Wimbledon, T de France) and people are NOT dropping dead. I suspect that by next spring, we will have a clearer picture of what is going on, but for the moment, it seems to be a relatively low key culling of people. We shall see!
I hope you are right. I see it as a small dusting of snowflakes before the blizzard to come. I know way too much about these injections to be optimistic. Once this injection is in the human body there are literally dozens of ways it can kill. The damage it causes is cumulative, progressive and irreversible. World data says 5.9 billion have been vaccinated. Probably the vast majority are MRNA injected. 10% dead is 590 million. I think we could easily see a billion people die in the next 3 to 5 years. Unvaccinated folks will be be collateral damage too as the health care systems collapse everywhere. We are at the brink of a human race altering event akin to a environmental mass extinction event.
I agree that it's a real possibility, Lawrence. It's early days yet in this story. I also admit to suffering from normalcy bias: it's high summer here and I see life back to normal and everyone out and about enjoying themselves. Hard to believe that this could all change, but I agree it could happen. And even if the jab doesn't do it's work, there will be plenty of social unrest ahead of us because of all the crazy measures taken to "fight" Covid. I wonder where we'll be next Spring?
I think the Covid "measures" are dead and will not be coming back. That is to say that only true Cult of Covid members will be following any of this upcoming horseshit. Here are some the flies in the ointment that will effect reality and the course of the world.
1. Everyone vaccinated will be getting sick, getting over being sick or in the process of dying. We see famous folks and politicians getting sick with "breakthrough" infections and side effect injuries. The progressive and cumulative effects of the injection will continue to take them down. These folks with 2 or 3 breakthrough infections are all going to die. Their immune systems are toast. So many of the people who are in charge or in positions of authority will be injured, sick, dying or dead.
2. The Night of the Living Dummies is here and it is going to get much much worse. We are seeing it on the roadways, in the stores and in our interactions with vaccinated people. They are getting aggressive, hostile and very stupid. Anyone vaccinated in leadership roles are going to increasingly be incapable of making sound rational decisions and will be almost completely unable to perform sophisticated cognitive tasks. There appears to be two causes for the coming sequel to Idiocracy. Spike protein blockage of capillaries in the brain and brain shrinkage caused by multiple "breakthrough covid" infections. So the totalitarians' bitches will soon be incapable of leading any sort of lock down or anything else.
3. Infrastructure and sector breakdowns as more and more workers become sick and die. We are already seeing this in the airline industry. Healthcare will be next as more people become sick and there are fewer healthcare workers to treat them (they are getting sick and dying right now). This will lead to chaos in many areas and mass hysteria among the vaccinated.
So by next spring we will be in the mist of chaos as things stop working and the bodies pile up. Our mission as Pure Bloods is survival at this point. Anyone not vaccinated and has skills of any sort (no matter the age) will be needed to keep things running and help where we can. I plan on rescuing as many animals as I can as their owners die. So think about what you can do and prepare to survive. Our children need us. The future needs us.
Astute impressions for sure Alexander... Yes to what you describe here cinematographically - frightening moments for sure give our current situation. Watch again if you can. This movie is about healing... healing from mass death... healing from mass trauma and healing to build a new world.
Never heard of it. I don't know how I'll ever get to see it, I have no type of streaming services and can't afford them in the future either. It sounds creepy. I will go read about the plot.
I think you can buy it at Walmart for $19.... I know that is a lot of money for me.... but if you can loan it to any of your unvaccinated friends... it would be a good thing for them too.
Ugh; please don't even consider buying anything at Walmart. It's part of the surreal corporate-owned world we're living in. I just watched the movie. I always find myself critiquing these films, finding the flaws in realism, etc. But I do 'get' that it is a study in our emotions and how we deal with an apocalytic event. I have been somewhat silenced for for 40 years because of so many narratives I never believed yet could not discuss with friends. With eyes open, there is so much deception to see. I am truly astounded that people still believe there is a 2-party democracy in the US. Red/Blue--hardly makes a difference because the strings are pulled from above. I don't agree that there will be a dystopian level of mass deaths. But with all the radiation from 5G, chemicalized food, plus the mRNAs, parts of humanity is weakening and devolving. I will choose to remember.
I wanted everyone who will be possibly survive the mass death that is coming to be aware of what they will need to go through in the future. This film lays out of the emotional and psychological trauma that we will all go through and be forced to live with for the rest of our lives. Some will undoubtedly lose their minds. Some will have “the thousand yard stare”. But all of us will be forever changed by what is to come. Yes, in some ways the living will envy the dead.
Good that you would choose to remember. And if we step back a bit and look at where we are headed, although I agree with what you are saying, it is ALL going away soon. We are entering the 2nd Dark Age of Man which I think will last about 10 years. A new world will be built by the survivors. And is world will be the world that the human race needs. I hope you will help built it.
I haven't seen it but I was thinking just yesterday of a movie I had seen bits and pieces of a few years back, "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" (2012) with Steve Carrell. Then there's "Children of Men" in 2006 and I guess "On the Beach" from 1959 has a similar theme.
This movie gives you a real look into what the world will be like for us when the vaccinated leave us.
If by chance you didn't really "get" the last line of (The Human Tragedy of Untimely Deaths) "And for us, those who will be left, those who will be witness to all the millions of tragedies about to unfold; we will be left with things, never-to-be-done, and holes in our hearts, never to be filled."
You will completely understand it after watching this movie.
You've piqued my interest; I'll have to watch it.
nb4. Although I suppose it probably has a serious tone and it's not something light and peppy like the Tommy James / Tiffany song. 😊 #GallowsHumor
https://youtu.be/rlUFLIMKbVY
LOL John.. it is soul altering given our current situation. I would recommend seeing it twice. I was a bit overwhelmed during my first viewing of it. It is depleted uranium heavy.
I'm old enough to remember hearing that song by Tommy James & The Shondells on AM radio in my early teens. I've been hearing it in my head since Lawrence's email hit my inbox. Haven't watched the movie yet.
I am old enough to know all the lyrics and since I was a vocalist, I spend three days (so far) singing it at the house here for the dog. So... I am with you on this one Dee...LOL I love the song... I remember hearing in my car as I drove (cruising) around town. It brings the feelings and memories of those times back to me every time I hear it.
I was singing it in the house today while my husband was out playing golf, although my dog doesn't seem to appreciate it. He's used to hearing me sing Grateful Dead and alternative rock songs in the car. :)
That's the first thing I thought too LOL
Here's the Weird Al version:

Read some my recent replies John (I let more people have a chance to watch it first) and let me know what you think. You need to watch it.
On the Beach - Nevil Shute's novel. Yes. I remember reading it in the 70s and thinking that it was a very frightening prospect, but that the threat had receded. Could not then have imagined the present version of mass demise via mostly willing self poisoning.

It’s a rainy day where I am. Time for a cup of tea and I’ll check it out.
Ok just finished watching it. It’s was really interesting, especially the transhumanist twist at the end. Will we ever truly escape evil as humans? No, probably not. But it is worth trying to carve out a niche. I find this an interesting contrast to a TV show I saw, called ‘last man on Earth.” Interestingly enough, pretty recent and also along the lines of everyone dies of a virus, except a few. That show was funny.
I don’t think it’s going to be a catastrophic dieout like in these shows, but day by day, more and more will die with less and less born. How will that effect us as a world, as a society?
I do think about photographs, books, things that don’t need technology. How important it is to print out pictures of family and not just have them on my devices.
This is extreme die off for sure. My town has 65% jabbed up. How many will die? Who knows right? Probably many of them... Will my little corner of my neighborhood be empty except for me? Maybe. No matter how many actually die... we are going to experience some horrible things in the near future. This movie is about how the characters deal with mass death and an empty world. And most importantly it exams how they choose to heal themselves and the world.
Very good - I am going hold off on commenting right now on your comment until more people see it - I will try to revisit you later -
Lawrence, I am not on twitter anymore but ethical skeptic just posted some awful numbers... Cancer deaths are at 8.9 sigma, and non covid natural deaths are at 6.2 signma highs..I think this is the link:
https://twitter.com/EthicalSkeptic/status/1554936515544973314?fbclid=IwAR39WKRrDrRMvlL1cJBFOoHe-ckPM88ZwAb54LPpEfDqSk3z537uhOR-BdI
We have trees falling in the forest, but no one can hear them....
You are correct... or least most cannot hear them.... But soon there will be no denying what has happened. Large parts of entire forest will collapse in front of everyone's eyes. And then the mass hysteria of the vaccinated will begin. Just image waking up one day to find out that you, your wife and your kids have all been euthanized by a state sponsored (and mandated), healthcare system expedited, media and big tech promoted injection? People are going to lose their minds and do some crazy stuff.
Crap crap crap. This is all I say in my head all day every day.
I am with you.... I am just a angry old man anymore living in world not of his choosing...
I am just an angry old woman myself, living in a world that was stolen via laws from us in a very methodical way. I am so angry.
Eloquent I am not.

show combo of denial of treatment and all other covid responses now dwarf the civil war..
I know alot about the Civil War. Just imagine this: After the Civil War - every family in the United States had lost a least one member in the war. Some has lost many more. This is going to be worse. Much worse. This is going to be an extinction like event for mankind. The world as we have know it is coming to an end.
Oh dear. I had two ancestors in the Civil War, both came home. I have one of them's trunk.
I had no idea, but as a proportion of the population, I must have been horrific.
I think we should expect the same...damaged or crippled or dead...and this has been an undeclared war on our country...by our leaders and I think by the CCP along with WEF on us the people.
We expect wars to come with declarations and military, but this one is coming with none of that. One of the first things they did was to destroy our military...all branches, with mandates. I will never get over that.
A large percentage of the deaths in the Civil War were from disease. Dysentery killed more that bullets.
The numbers are pretty scary. World Data is saying 67% of the planet's population has had a least one injection. Not all but most of these injections are MRNA oriented and deadly. So with around 7.96 billion on the planet that means we have the potential to lose 5.39 billion people. The United States has a population of 338,289,000 with 78.66% with one injection or more = 253 million dead. We will have very little of our military left. Luckily our nuclear defense does not take many people to keep operational.
I am probably wrong, but I understand that the dna ones are also not good for long term survival (j & J.)
No - RNA to DNA modification is not going work very well... you will die or your offspring will die later. Just a nightmare
Prior to 2020 Moderna had done several human trials using mRNA vaccines that, I believe, utilize a similar lipid nanoparticle to the ones used for their COVID one. Here are all the completed ones:

Some of these studies weren't completed until 2020 or 2021, while others started as early as 2016 and ended in 2018 or 2019. Each has only around 100 or so trial participants but surely there are enough survivors among them that it shouldn't be too difficult to find one to do an op-ed to assure all the vaccine hesitant that the mRNA platform is proven not to have a 100% death rate after 2-5 years at least. (Though even if that is the case for the vaccines here made for viruses such as influenza, cytomegalovirus and Chikungunya it wouldn't mean that the mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 is safe given the hazards peculiar to the novel spike protein)
Surely they can dredge up at least one survivor that was given one of these shots five or six years ago that isn't maimed or debilitated with severe vaccine injuries?
None of the research for these studies has been published... so until it is, we should all assume the worst.
Watched it last night. I think it would have been more horrifying if it had started when the die off occurred. There was too much distance for me. I like doing my own thing, so I'm not terrified of that. I'd probably take it as a challenge to stay alive.
Children of Men affected me much more.
Has anyone seen any reports on people who had c19 prior to getting the vaxx? I've got two in my immediate family and they haven't caught it again and seem to be doing ok.
Watch it again. It is a bit overwhelming. I was for me. It is the examination of the minds of people who survived and now must deal with their own pain and the pain of living in a dead world. The main character chooses to remember and honor the dead as a path to his own healing and the healing of the world. The other folks choose to heal by forgetting via computer induced brain alterations. We will most likely be in the same position as the mass genocide plays out across the planet. Which is why Pure Bloods need to watch this. Will we choose to remember or try to forget it ever happened? How will we choose to heal from what is coming? I hope we will forever remember what has happened here... so it never happens again.
I will come back to reply to your comment after more people have watched it.
Is this going to be like the classic line from the BBC comedy - when they actually made comedies - 'Red Dwarf'?
"Everybody's dead Dave!"
No... it graphically represents our coming world and what all of us will be going through.
I watched it yesterday. I need to watch it one more time. Most of us like routines. Del cleaned houses and had library work. There is a bit more to it than that as we go. He was by himself and he was used to that, he was ok with it. Then someone crashes into his life. This was quite a fascinating movie and had well-known actors. I don't understand some parts so I'll watch it one more time and pay closer attention. Also, it helps to just roll with it, don't try to rewrite it as you watch.
In my mind (everyone will see it differently I think) this is an examination of the minds of the people who survived. And when I say examination, I mean the writer and cinematographer tried to show us how the characters were each personally dealing with the mass death that they had witnessed and now lived with on a daily basis. It is about how the human mind adapts (and maintains its sanity) after the most extreme situation that can be imagined. Call it PTSD, Shell Shock or the thousand yard stare but it's all the same. Mass death creates mass trauma for those who live through it. Our main character chose to deal head on with what happened and create healing for himself (and the world) by honoring, remembering, documenting and burying the dead. The folks in the surreal city in the sun had chosen to use technology to induce forgetting about what had happened and the people it happened to. We Pure Bloods will most likely be traumatized by what is surely going to happen to our world. Will we choose to remember the dead and what has been done to them or use our technology to forget it every happened?
And the young lady who was in one way of living and did not want that. She managed to find someone who was living differently and it appealed to her. Thanks for the heads up about this movie, it provided much food for thought. I've been journaling this surreal life we are living right now. It contains the mundane and the bizarre. I had no idea what squawk 7700 was before all this. Now, when I get a chime, I check to see what flight is affected and are they having to divert to a different airport. It happens almost daily and the people who've followed flying for years say there used to be just a few a month. Now, it's about 5 or 6 a day. I haven't really counted but it's around there. I also write about trying a new recipe, a daughter about to head to college, blood clots in people, who has 'died suddenly', and I pray for the babies and children. I had a spreadsheet going on with who has died with a column each for famous people, other notables, and local or people I knew. I stopped when my dad died in mid-January. I will pick it up again. I don't want to forget and I do want to leave notes behind for someone to read and get an idea of what we went through.
Yes she made a choice to remember just like you are doing. It was her way of healing and probably is your way of healing too. So do what heals and keep you sane in this time of insanity and depravity. I download the 7700 app about 6 months ago. OMG - I would get a few every week and now I get 5 or 6 alerts a day. It amazing and scary. Soon the airline industry will be almost completely shut down. Take care.
I will come back to reply to your comment after more people have watched it.
Or Will Smith's I Am Legend. ... very topical to where we are...and where, sadly we are going.
Yes it is unfortunately
Lawrence, we we talking about this movie and I told you I turned it off because of the dog? If so reply, I got it finished. tonite. And it is kinda good....I figured it out and I'd like to talk with you again?
Very good.... I will ask you your question then.... We are all very much aware of what is happening in our world with the "injection" and that billions (apparently) have gotten it. If our world turns into something like the world in this movie, would you choose (inspite of the horrible mental trauma you now have) to forget about what has happened and who it has happened to or would you choose to remember what has happened and who it happened to? Would you be cleaning houses, burying the dead with dignity and documenting their existence or have your mind cleared of the memories and pain so you could live a happy life?
I absolutely would choose to remember....and do you know how I know? I went and found Out of Africa and watched for a few minutes. Because I too had a farm in Africa....
I couldn't this this time hear the sound very well and coudn't make the close captioning work..
Do you remember...what did Del say after she went into the house that wasn't on the map after "You shouldn't be in here" and "was it your house'? I didn't get it. something about "it was supposed to be me"...something about I was on the playground at recess???
It was key but I replayed and coudln't get the words...
Boy I went on line after and the critics weren't very nice about the ending....but had a lot of praise for dinklage...not so much for Fanning.....
I think I would have tweaked on line....when she says "you had no one....I had every one"...unless I am misremembering. I would have said "you have nothing...I had everything.".
Because without memory...we have nothing. With memories, we have everything.
You are correct. We are an amalgamation of memories and in many ways a product of the events that are behind them. I have a memory attached to everything in my house. I cherish a lot of this "stuff" because of the memories attached to it. And you are correct that forgetting is a very high price to pay for "happiness".
There is one caveat with memories. The memories of horrific events have a deleterious effect on our mind and consciousness. I am not at all surprised that you would choose to remember. I think I would too. It's the right thing to do, right? Most people want to do the right thing.
I bring this up because I have read accounts of what happened during the Black Death in Europe and the Zeitgeist that was created after the dying ended. It was of course a different world but I saw striking similarities to what is happening right now. Anyway, to get to my point here... the characters in the movie were tying to find something to heal them. They were all suffering from a massive trauma. Call it Shell Shock, Battle Fatigue, PTSD or the Thousand Yard Stare, they all had the events, the people and the images of the mass death haunting their minds.
If things turn out as badly as they could. A large percentage of us will most likely have some sort of PTSD from what we have witnessed or lived through. In my post "Mercy Killing my Neighbors" https://lawrencebutts.substack.com/p/mercy-killing-my-neighbors?r=gjogf&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web I examine what the mass death will be like for ordinary people.
So this movie is important for the Pure Bloods because; they need to prepare their bodies, minds and souls for an upcoming unimaginable world of horror that is about to begin. And finally, the Pure Bloods must be able to find ways to heal that involve remembering.... to make sure this never happens again.
Shoot I think I just lost my post, but Yes, I agree.
I think we all have a form of PTSD right now even though the worst is to come.
I know I do.
I;m just not sure how it is affecting me (besides being really cranky if someone
turns on the tv)...
I agree...we owe them. Never again.
And after having seen my mother with Alzheimer's, I cannot think of anything worse...to not remember...to not know your children....yourself...too much of a price to pay.
Lawrence, watched up until she found the dog. I am a . Love it but have to stop now, I am lonely and the dog just killed me...
I get that - I was the same way - I am a total dog person (4) - it really killed me too. Just go back later - there is no sugar coating on anything in this movie. You may need to watch it twice (I did) because it is a bit overwhelming the first time. Watch it, wait a couple days and watch it again. Then I will ask the most important question of your future life. I think I already know what your answer will be.
I will. I will keep watching a little bit every day. I used to love distopian movies and shows like the Walking Dead...now, for some reason, I can't bear them... I think I've been fearing something like this subconsciously for all my life, so was trying to learn, but now I want another kind of show or movie...maybe to teach me how to live again.
Watched it last night. The visuals are fantastic, but the soundtrack called attention to itself too often. I kept thinking of it as the perfect sequal to Don't Look Up (when Jonah is the only one left in the White House) and what would he have done, but what the Dr in California did. This movie seemed far ahead in its vision. "Make sure to wear your mask" to "everyone wants to forget the past" to come. The shift in the film with the kiss was quite a jolt out of what seemed like a sleepy comedy, foreshadowed by showing the mark on her neck, what she has hidden. Then, the ending, driving through happy land of zombies. Yep, that's post-reset.
We sometimes see what we want to see I think? Having spent time with books about the Black Plague and the years following it, I see this movie a struggle within the minds of those who are left. The trauma associated with mass death is not like anything we can imagine. The writer and the cinematographer I believe did an excellent job presenting this trauma in real people. The choice of dealing with a “thousand yard stare” is stark and powerful. Honor, document, bury and remember the dead or forget about them via a computer stimulated mind wipe. The choice is clear for me. I would be cleaning houses and honoring the lives of the dead. I would choose to remember. Others would choose to forget. In our current situation, we will need to remember. Because we must make sure it never happens again.
We do see that way!
One of my fav quotes over the past three years is from Ram Das, 'where ever you look, you'll find what you are looking for.'
Yup... confirmation bias simply explained
It was a neat premise. Either coping with the tragedy head on or relying on science to ease your pain. It seems to me being busy and rebuilding would be the best therapy instead of mind alterning technology. Our ancestors had to deal with continuous tradegies. Life was hard compared to our modern leisure society so it is in our dna to adapt.
Yes Andy at it's heart this movie is about adaptation. How does the human mind deal with mass death? Mass death creates mass trauma. Our main character's path to healing and dealing with the pain and trauma is to honor the dead, document their existence, clean their houses and give them decent burials. This is more than just healing for himself. This is healing for the world. Forgetting is not an option for him. We Pure Bloods will suffer trauma on an unimaginable scale if what looks like is going to happen actually happens. Which is why I want my subscribers to watch this. They will need to soon make a choice to heal by remembering or by forgetting. I hope them choose to remember. Because remembering will hopefully insure that it never happens again.
I wonder how the die offs happened in the movie. Maybe i missed it but it seemed like a quick die off. If it were a slow die off the movie would been different plot and settings. I think there will be a lot of chronic illness that will weaken people and remove them as productive members of society. Who knows the exact impact to society but one thing for sure it won't be positive because services and resources will be hard to get. I guess we have to wait for flu season to see the extent of the damage.
Doesn't really matter for purposes of the movie or the reality will we will face. One by one they are hauling people out of my neighborhood. Soon their will be no EMTs to do the hauling and no functioning medical system to treat them. Many will die in their homes. In a year their will be how many empty houses with for sale signs or no signs on them in my neighborhood? 65% Jabbed here with 95% jabbed among my age group 65+. Spray painting to mark the houses that no longer contain bodies will also be appropriate. We will most likely have wild dogs and other animals roaming the streets along with orphaned children. Not going to be fun time for us.
I will get back to reply later after more folks have had a chance to watch it. I like your comment Andy.
Watched it on your recommendation. A very striking film. I will watch it again because as someone obsessed with sound/music, the one main thing that struck me was the skill in which sounds were created, meaning: barely audible tones/atmospheres, conveying the empty world, the whole Tarkovsky-like thing going on. I feel that the appearance, and then DISappearance, of the dog, has more depth to it than I currently surmise. There were some truly frightening moments. Latest estimate was 500 million worldwide might be dead/seriously disabled because of this thing. Way off base? Perhaps. But what I see in this movie "fantasy" land corresponds to what I see in today's reality more than I care to admit.
I will reply after more have a chance to watch it. But you seem to have experienced it much like I did. I don't know about the numbers - official numbers that I put together last week = about 5.9 billion with 1 or more jabbed. 10% dead is 590 million. So a 20% death rate would mean we will lose a billion people. Numbers like this are just impossible to comprehend. We can only hope I am wrong.
I'm still not convinced that we are heading for this level of massive die-off, Lawrence. Sure, the jabs are appalling and the way they have been administered is a crime against humanity for which I hope the perps hang. However, although there is a steady drip of "suddens" and "unexpecteds" in the obits, the numbers are still small. As I write, we have fast-paced sports competitions taking place (Wimbledon, T de France) and people are NOT dropping dead. I suspect that by next spring, we will have a clearer picture of what is going on, but for the moment, it seems to be a relatively low key culling of people. We shall see!
I hope you are right. I see it as a small dusting of snowflakes before the blizzard to come. I know way too much about these injections to be optimistic. Once this injection is in the human body there are literally dozens of ways it can kill. The damage it causes is cumulative, progressive and irreversible. World data says 5.9 billion have been vaccinated. Probably the vast majority are MRNA injected. 10% dead is 590 million. I think we could easily see a billion people die in the next 3 to 5 years. Unvaccinated folks will be be collateral damage too as the health care systems collapse everywhere. We are at the brink of a human race altering event akin to a environmental mass extinction event.
I agree that it's a real possibility, Lawrence. It's early days yet in this story. I also admit to suffering from normalcy bias: it's high summer here and I see life back to normal and everyone out and about enjoying themselves. Hard to believe that this could all change, but I agree it could happen. And even if the jab doesn't do it's work, there will be plenty of social unrest ahead of us because of all the crazy measures taken to "fight" Covid. I wonder where we'll be next Spring?
I think the Covid "measures" are dead and will not be coming back. That is to say that only true Cult of Covid members will be following any of this upcoming horseshit. Here are some the flies in the ointment that will effect reality and the course of the world.
1. Everyone vaccinated will be getting sick, getting over being sick or in the process of dying. We see famous folks and politicians getting sick with "breakthrough" infections and side effect injuries. The progressive and cumulative effects of the injection will continue to take them down. These folks with 2 or 3 breakthrough infections are all going to die. Their immune systems are toast. So many of the people who are in charge or in positions of authority will be injured, sick, dying or dead.
2. The Night of the Living Dummies is here and it is going to get much much worse. We are seeing it on the roadways, in the stores and in our interactions with vaccinated people. They are getting aggressive, hostile and very stupid. Anyone vaccinated in leadership roles are going to increasingly be incapable of making sound rational decisions and will be almost completely unable to perform sophisticated cognitive tasks. There appears to be two causes for the coming sequel to Idiocracy. Spike protein blockage of capillaries in the brain and brain shrinkage caused by multiple "breakthrough covid" infections. So the totalitarians' bitches will soon be incapable of leading any sort of lock down or anything else.
3. Infrastructure and sector breakdowns as more and more workers become sick and die. We are already seeing this in the airline industry. Healthcare will be next as more people become sick and there are fewer healthcare workers to treat them (they are getting sick and dying right now). This will lead to chaos in many areas and mass hysteria among the vaccinated.
So by next spring we will be in the mist of chaos as things stop working and the bodies pile up. Our mission as Pure Bloods is survival at this point. Anyone not vaccinated and has skills of any sort (no matter the age) will be needed to keep things running and help where we can. I plan on rescuing as many animals as I can as their owners die. So think about what you can do and prepare to survive. Our children need us. The future needs us.
Too true.
Astute impressions for sure Alexander... Yes to what you describe here cinematographically - frightening moments for sure give our current situation. Watch again if you can. This movie is about healing... healing from mass death... healing from mass trauma and healing to build a new world.
Never heard of it. I don't know how I'll ever get to see it, I have no type of streaming services and can't afford them in the future either. It sounds creepy. I will go read about the plot.
Try U Tube. Peacock is free on your phone.
phone? you still have one of those? dangerous....
I will, thank-you for the suggestion!
Wish I had a sign-in for Amazon Prime to watch this.
Always check movie cracker.

Thanks, Eruca Sativa!
I think you can buy it at Walmart for $19.... I know that is a lot of money for me.... but if you can loan it to any of your unvaccinated friends... it would be a good thing for them too.
Ugh; please don't even consider buying anything at Walmart. It's part of the surreal corporate-owned world we're living in. I just watched the movie. I always find myself critiquing these films, finding the flaws in realism, etc. But I do 'get' that it is a study in our emotions and how we deal with an apocalytic event. I have been somewhat silenced for for 40 years because of so many narratives I never believed yet could not discuss with friends. With eyes open, there is so much deception to see. I am truly astounded that people still believe there is a 2-party democracy in the US. Red/Blue--hardly makes a difference because the strings are pulled from above. I don't agree that there will be a dystopian level of mass deaths. But with all the radiation from 5G, chemicalized food, plus the mRNAs, parts of humanity is weakening and devolving. I will choose to remember.
I wanted everyone who will be possibly survive the mass death that is coming to be aware of what they will need to go through in the future. This film lays out of the emotional and psychological trauma that we will all go through and be forced to live with for the rest of our lives. Some will undoubtedly lose their minds. Some will have “the thousand yard stare”. But all of us will be forever changed by what is to come. Yes, in some ways the living will envy the dead.
Good that you would choose to remember. And if we step back a bit and look at where we are headed, although I agree with what you are saying, it is ALL going away soon. We are entering the 2nd Dark Age of Man which I think will last about 10 years. A new world will be built by the survivors. And is world will be the world that the human race needs. I hope you will help built it.
Yes, I plan to be around to help build it.
Good
Lawrence, watched up until she found the dog. I am a . Love it but have to stop now, I am lonely and the dog just killed me...
PS. I will try again tomorrow, pick up from there.
