Maybe covid infects people's brains in a way that makes them deny covid exists

Covid lies are not the only disinformation getting Americans killed, global warming has gone unchecked, and 2nd Amendment does not say stock up on weapons to shoot neighbors

Diminishing Covid to a simple flu is not the only disinformation message my neighbors are believing that is getting people killed. The claim that changing weather is just normal fluctuations in nature is another Big Lie that I think is part of an information warfare attack going on now against USA.  

If Russia is not at least one of the powers behind the weaponized disinformation, they are certainly among first to take advantage of it. Russia has been building up naval bases in the waterways opening up due to melting Arctic oceans and glaciers for years, especially lately, while most the populated world is fighting fires and floods. 

The same media outlets telling Americans not to get vaccinated because public health is tyranny have been telling us for decades that burning fossil fuel is not going to change the atmosphere in any drastic way, in fact plants love it. All anyone has to do is stand on the sidewalk of a freeway overpass during heavy traffic and feel the poisonous effect in real time to know that burning fossil fuels creates heat, and the way we're living is Not good for life on the planet that depends on air. 

Another more obvious way disinformation is killing Americans is the twisted interpretation of the Second Amendment that's resulted in billions of guns on the American landscape. Interestingly, one very publicly arrested foreign agent working for Russia recently was Maria Butina, who was helping them kill us through the NRA.  Americans now think the Second Amendment gives everyone a right to own military grade rifles that give them the freedom to plan attacks on their neighbors.

Wow, the disinformation warfare in USA is a lot like what happened in Rwanda in 1994 where tribe members were convinced by messaging coming from a radio station to pick up weapons and kill their neighbors. Today we call that event the Rwanda Genocide.  Hmm, then Fox News appeared in USA in 1995.

But I'm repeating myself again. Link to previous stories at City of Angels Blog about similarities between U.S.events today and events leading up to Rwanda Genocide.

President Jimmy Carter was among first leaders to try to get Americans to stop our reliance on burning fossil fuels. The powers that be then used Iran to keep Carter from winning a second term.

Meanwhile my job works as a way to explain to my brainwashed neighbors why I'm staying away from them, as I mentioned in the post before this one. (LINK) My job which causes me to live such odd hours I rarely have anyone to spend time with is now my salvation. 

I can't attend any virus mini-spreader events taking place now, as Northern California redstate media consumers think the pandemic is over, because I have to start work at midnight, which means I'm in bed by 3 pm every day, even holidays or slow periods. 

I've been doing the same job pretty much since the 1980s when I lived one block from Sunset boulevard. At the time I was unemployable after job smashups in the NASA Newsroom in Houston and then Rogers and Cowan PR in Beverly Hills and I lived in a one room studio on Holloway Drive.  It was a time when freelance typing services thrived in the area, remember the firm Barbara's Place who sent women to John Belushi's hotel room with a portable Selectric to take down his ramblings the weekend before he died. I worked for one of their biggest competitors, only Studio Typing was a storefront at 8555 Sunset, half block from the top of the hill at La Cienega.

I started working there as an occasional typist, then soon was running the operation where we often had seventy Selectrics at a time running and an ever changing staff of freelancers from the area coming in and out to work as the number of jobs demanded.  Lots of writers who were working on screenplays and actors, musicians- other weirdos like me who don’t do well in regular employment- would flush out their incomes by coming in to work a few hours a week with us. Today I am doing pretty much the same job, turning interviews into transcripts, only now the work comes in through email.

Best way for me to get to Studio Typing from 8608 Holloway was to climb a vacant lot to the top of the hill, then cross Sunset. Even in 1985 I had an aversion to driving a car. Holloway House apartments were infamous in the gay world of West Hollywood then, as it was also one of the cheapest places to live that still had some panache in town.  As a result, along with gay men, most my neighbors were other older single females. 

Years later when I'd see old neighbors from Holloway House and they realized I'd had a baby as a single mom at age 40, they'd ask, where did you even find a heterosexual man to get you pregnant.

I found one. He lived downstairs. He assured me we did not need birth control as he'd had a vasectomy then when I came up pregnant, he shrugged and said, "I lied, I lied about a lot of things." He was a Russian. Hmm.

Cut paragraph: 

Even when there's no work, I keep up the schedule for my job, as it takes years for your body to adjust to staying awake at night and sleeping during the day. No matter what is going on in my life, I have to be in bed by late afternoon and then I'm up at midnight, burning lights and watching news clips from the previous day while I prepare for work.  

On breaks I wander the apartment grounds and listen to the sound from my neighbors's windows of them coughing...  

Americans chose Tucker Carlson lies over Anthony Fauci trying to save our lives. This battle is too big for me to fight alone...

Americans chose to believe purveyors of disinformation over sincere experts. They believed Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump instead of public health professionals and immunologists, they believed media celebrities getting paid seven figure salaries to read a script on Fox instead of scientists who dedicated their entire lives and moderately paid careers to trying to prevent illness and death.

It took decades to lay the groundwork for misinformation to have more credibility than persons whose whole lives have been dedicated to the truth. It started in 1995 with the appearance of Fox News in the lower 25 channels on cable news lineups, at a time when even broadcasting executives did not know the potential of that positioning. 

By the time Trump ran for office and then the coronavirus hit USA, there were two to three generations of Americans who had spent their entire lives listening to the disinformation, and believing it.

I still think this information warfare attack on USA was carried out by same parties who sent guys to America to go to flight school, then years later arranged for those select trained pilots to be on those select airline flights on Nine-Eleven 2001.

What scares me most now is how easy it was to get Americans to believe an obvious anti American message, just by putting it on a TV network with lots of red white and blue set decoration. A certain kind of human was the target of the disinformation, persons who already were angry and ready to feel hatred towards their fellow countrymen.  I have a feeling even the masterminds of this attack had no idea Americans would believe them so readily.

I'm repeating myself. 

Past two years or longer, I've posted this same stuff here at City of Angels Blog. Now it's just a matter of time before the spreading virus kills lots more people around me and there is nothing i can do. But blog about it. 

I can't even get a letter to the editor published trying to point out what's going on* I have no credentials, I'm not president of a non profit that specializes in any of the fields being used to carry out this attack. I can't even get the people who run my HUD building to realize the pandemic isn't over, which is the current sound byte of the attackers, spreading while hospital beds fill up with newly infected persons.  Or my local city council or county Board of Directors.

In my building are signs saying "Come July 22 to our Quarantine Free Barbecue" which promises to be a not so super virus spreading event, much like the recent Bingo Party in the lobby. At a Coffee with the Mayor in my town last week at the library so many people showed up they were shoulder to shoulder in a crowded room, and pictures show no one was wearing a mask.   

So it's only a matter of time before the whole state of California does what L.A. County is doing now, going back to mask mandates, after more people get sick and die and our medical infrastructure falls apart like it did as the virus first took hold in 2020. And patriots will once again shout that public health is tyranny.

All I can do is stay to myself and take care of me,  continue to avoid public areas of my building except in the middle of the night, telling anyone who questions me that my allergies are so bad I'm staying inside, which is in some ways true. Not completely, but it's a convenient way to keep the snarky misinformed from getting in my face to tell me sound bytes they heard on hate radio.

This is so much bigger than I am. Once the purveyors of weaponized disinformation saw how well this attack was going they branched out. At one point all the radio stations got purchased by Clear Channel and programmed with the "patriot" messaging. By the time Trump was in office, they got really brave, as now the person who is known as most powerful man in Earth was re-broadcasting their message from the White House.

It should surprise me that people bought into 4chan and QAnon as the message of hate they neighbor, arm yourself for a battle, and believe that mask wearing in a time of pandemic is a Communist Marxist tyrannical plot.  But by 2017 the attackers had their tin soldiers in line and ready. So MT Greene could look into a camera with a face awash in the glory of conspiracy and say, "Q is right.  No one knows who he is but Q is right," and get elected to Congress.

All I can do is stay to myself and ride this out. And write an occasional blog post to get rid of the arguments going round in my head. It does no good to try to explain to a neighbor one-on-one or even post comments on news articles and social media posts that are spreading the disinformation.

I just have to ride this out.

My technique to keep this from driving me to self destruction is to use my imagination. I pretend I'm on a looong space trip, when I look outside I'm watching the terrain of strange locations in space where the atmosphere is too hostile for me to go into it. I have lots of supplies, more get delivered in a way that I can leave the boxes in the lobby until night time when I can gather them up when no one is around. I tell myself I trained for years in advance so am capable of surviving this isolation for as long as it takes.

Then I pull out a movie or a book and wait.  And force myself not to care as more fellow citizens get sick and die. They bought into the lie, what happens to them now is out of my hands. 

* My latest Letter to Editor that did not get published: 

USA is under attack by information warfare. Bombs of lies fill our media landscape, creating misinformed angry mobs, from Jan 6 in D.C. to local Boards of Supervisors. Slowly they're destroying USA from within, one anti science anti democracy policy at a time.

I think same people who flew airplanes into our buildings on 9/11/2001 are conducting this new unconventional warfare on USA, sending mesmerizing lies through our TV sets and phones, and until Americans realize this is an attack and stop it at its core, the damage will continue.

My home is my bomb shelter where I ride out this strange war, not just avoiding infection from covid which is still spreading thanks to disinformation, I'm also hiding from brainwashed neighbors who believe the lies and are being empowered by hate messaging while acquiring weapons.

I'm angry at politicians who are dithering over commissions and filibusters and not dealing with the problem at its core. We need to stop the anti American weaponized disinformation, which is very sophisticated and effective. What kind of a nation allows a thing like QAnon to even exist?

Someone in power has to call it what it is, information warfare. Nancy Pelosi's Jan 6 commission will likely be as effective as the last two impeachments. Nothing will get better until we realize enemies of USA are using a misread of our own 1st and 2nd Amendments to kill us.

I ain't going anywhere until the pandemic of Weaponized Disinformation is over

 USA is under attack by information warfare. Bombs of lies fill our media landscape, creating misinformed angry mobs, from January 6 in D.C. to local Boards of Supervisors. Slowly they're destroying USA from within, one anti science anti democracy policy at a time.

My apartment is my bomb shelter, where I'll ride out this war, not just avoiding infection from covid that's spreading uncontrolled in my region thanks to disinformation, but I'm also hiding from the brainwashed zombies who believe the lies and are being empowered by hate messaging and acquiring weapons. Some of the zombies live right up the hall from me, so I don't even pick up my mail until the middle of the night. I'm also staying off social media as much as I can as when I post and comment, I open myself up for attack by snarky disinformed responders.

I'm angry right now at politicians who are dithering over "commissions" and filibusters and not dealing with the problem at its core. The people in power need to stop the disinformation, which is very sophisticated and effective. I think same people who flew airplanes into our buildings on 9/11/2001 are conducting this new unconventional warfare sending lies through our TV sets, and until Americans realize this is an attack and stop it at its core, it will continue.

Nothing is going to change until we stop the disinformation: unplug the likes of Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson. What kind of a nation allows a thing like QAnon to even exist?

For now, I'm going to stay quiet and try to keep a low profile, but someone in power has to deal with this as what it is, information warfare. Nancy P's Jan 6 commission will likely be as effective as the last two impeachments. Nothing will get better until we realize enemies of USA are taking advantage of our 1st and 2nd amendments to kill us.

At least my bomb shelter is well stocked, UPS brings supplies within days after I order them, I have piles of books and plenty of video, and Instacart brings food and booze. I'll survive. Peace out…
