Dear emerson, Pl do not discomfit yourself excessively! 🙏🏼🤲🏼 We only harm ourselves, given so many points of contention on the global chessboard. Tis the era of endless crises; we need to pace ourselves.. And only God sees into the hearts.. Prof and I could be wrong, in spite of all evidence. He could be sincere.. merely a mule being used and endlessly sabotaged.

And that is the key point. We CAN judge any prior leader’s results. This empirical tool is not only fair way to judge, it is critical to use in order to avoid plunging into same hole if he revealed his inadequacy in the past.

Pakistan is between a rock and a hard place. On one side, a heartless Junta ruling since Partition in the subcontinent, expressly created as an anti-India like Ukies were as anti-Russia, both regimes against sentiment of their vast populations. And now an incompetent rabble-rousing populist speeds along implosion. Why should we settle for the lesser evil. Isn’t the lesser evil still evil?? And with such unprecedented deception, which IS the lesser evil? Consider how many of us are currently rooting for the Perfidious Sultan! Godfather of ISIS and to this day its rear base from Idlib into Asia Minor. Could the Pak Junta be a similar ugly duckling on the outside, with more palatable inner reality? I don’t know

The 2010 Rockefeller “Scenarios” (see page 16) appears a blueprint of the ongoing Reset. It explicitly planned for a post-pandemic stage where politicians of both sides of the artificial divide would be delegitimized, along with rise of authoritarianism disillusioning all nations with corrupt and hypocritical democracies.. all would clamor for honest and effective political leaders. Most would be steered into worse dead-ends, such as populist fascism..

At essence, it’s an Imperial play to deprive a people internally and externally. Amarynth highlighted a VIP point: for a society/civilization to thrive in positive comprehensive sense, there must be optimism, hope, or “people with shining eyes.” This requires a worthy elite who maintain trust and have sense of honor and stewardship. This has been removed from most societies. This underlies nihilism, chaos, lack of support/stake of most for stability. And why youth do not mind torching it at the first beckoning. They deeply sense the system itself is an enemy.

Empire likes that. It can work with it. It keeps targets down. Makes Empire look better than its own seedy reality. Last decrepit structure standing?? That’s its last hope short of nuclear war I suppose.

And externally the same, per this article’s premise, “the most important issue in the process of forming a new world order is the maintenance and strengthening of mutual trust…”

Internal stability is key. The Turks begin to appreciate it as the Chinese, who value it above all. MKB deciphered Erdogan’s imminent win: “The AKP’s success goes to show that the Turkish voter seeks a stable government in Ankara when the external environment is becoming extremely dangerous for the country and the economic crisis demands attention..”

Most other societies are not this mature. They have slower pacing, understanding or capacity to learn Imperial shenanigans and to seek group cohesion. In a way the phenomenon of IK reminds me of covid and the European Greens and the Biden/Trump duopoly in the US. It is a measure of perverse or deep faith. Counter to logic, evidence, track record, and future import.. The fog of BS became blindingly thick. Radikha said in recent session with MH and Mick Dunford, “… the irony of the fact is that everyone who says ‘Stand up for Ukraine and we are going to defend Ukraine’ is actually contributing to the systematic destruction of Ukraine…” The power of the con or hypnosis has been amped to the level that the victim is induced to craft or participate in his own deconstruction. A truly evil era.

Just as folks pumped themselves full of vaxxes thinking it was protective – when it was actually created for the opposite function. So during times of primal Resets and wiping the slate clean of “infective humanity” – these new type of slick media-savvy politicians were created that make 99% proud and willing abettors of their own group suicide.

IMHO, we should observe, pray and not get too attached emotionally to any one individual. Much sordidness will surface. Most men are little… And their ploys cannot stay submerged under 24/7 glare of public view. Internet, social media, smartphones, group memory — work both ways, a tool in our favor too. As the western Narrative in the Ukraine unravels, so do these human media creations. Far more important and resilient will be systems of organized unpenetrated sociopolitical structures.

Regards

The plot thickens! 
My favorite Indian tabloid can get as hyperbolic as Hal Turner, but here they say the Chef is running for the 2024 Presidency of the [rump] Ukraine! And show ostensible video proof. How delicious if true.. this scenario would be taking Medvedev’s trolling & triggering of the West to the nth level..  Oh the Ship Nemesis has not only arrived, and docked, but is being fully unloaded

OK dear A,
on this issue we will just agree to disagree, lol! We will undoubtedly know more soon… this issue is in the global spotlight. Truth will out.

Actually I remember IK was in Moscow the very first hours the SMO started! What timing!

I do not attack IK willy-nilly. I based it plenty of economic/legal/political/moral considerations above. And based on input from reputable folks on the ground, not subject to our filtered media lens.

We agree:

• he was inadequate leader during his term
• China/Russia will work with any leader within Pak
• He is fighting the military powers that run Pak
• He is instrumentalizing youth/mob
• The current ruling opposition is stupid, fueling division themselves
• Pakistan is on edge, just about FUBARed and ungovernable

Our differing positions:

AHH:

• IK is untrustworthy – a western agent
• He is corrupt – reason for countless lawsuit ( I do not dispute some minor ones are excuse to get rid of him – again, see above of current rulers’ acumen)
  • underlying this is understanding in his society, morality (or lack thereof) and religion is fundamental and can delegitimize a politician, which it did for honest aware adult Pakistanis, given his conduct
• He is a media construct
• instrumentalizing youth/mob is MOST negative, hallmark of Five Eyes, whether they changed tactics or style or not
• He is an immensely popular leader among impressionable youth, ignorant, and corrupt
• the future of Pakistan will not be determined by the poor young flotsam but by hardened older ruthless Junta
• torching cities creates chaos, worsens divisions, and can engender Civil War
• IK administrative catastrophe was from Day One in 2018 (see graphs above)

Amarynth:

• [you don’t state it explicitly, but maintain:] IK is trustworthy, having reformed
  • [you must enter into religious discourse to support this. For example, how does his countless documented lying and hypocrisies square with his faith? Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Consider sheer volume of allegations, unusual in even corrupt Pakistan]
• He is NOT a western agent
  • proof is lawfare (countless lawsuits), coup soon after Moscow trip, atypical riots,
• instrumentalizing youth/mob is not negative
• the future of Pakistan can be shaped by the poor youth flocking to IK
  • they can determine Pakistan’s future without experience, know-how, brains, money, guns or influence among regional SCO powers
• Cities weren’t torched or limited rioting was unconnected to Five Eyes since not the usual template
• IK administrative catastrophe was since covid

Many of these positions are wildly irreconcilable. Both of us are relying on media and on-ground people for our positions. But let us be patient. The Truth always out. It is not easy to let go of positions held over decades…

Re: “At the moment Pakistan is under an unelected junta. This is not a government that will gain trust in the eyes of Russia and China.”
I strongly disagree. Nothing to do with juntas, which are norm in [most?] places. And they work with worse regimes around the world. But in Pakistan’s case, they have earned a black mark because of their behavior of ~ 50 years of pumping terrorism throughout World-Island, on behalf of Anglo-American suzerains. Pakistan deservedly lost trust of most countries. They have to change their model of co-existence. They are undergoing same current agony as the desert Bedouins. Terrorism and being Salafi-camels came back to bite!

btw, this may give us clues to why IK was ousted, if my understanding of his being a lackey of GCC/Anglos is correct – to nip the bud of terrorism and prove their credentials, the Pak Junta had to oust him and all with his type of “Sufi” version.

Last: Meyssan largely agrees with your position. He considers IK a noble Sufi reformer. (!!!) His brief is visibly limited. He notes Juntas have been only effective force in Pakistani history. And he notes IK is such an outsider, unpredictable with limited effective base, as to put to the question your mutual argument that he operates as a maverick.. this actually argues for increased dependency on outside powers, such as Anglos!

As Pepe with intra-elite Russian politics, Meyssan appears a lost romantic vis-a-vis byzantine Pakistani politics. Like most, he sees what he wants to see of IK.. Well, each of us has his area. He does not discuss his economic policies much or more importantly the catastrophic results, except to attribute it purely to IMF austerity..

Dear emerson, I deeply apologize for causing you anguish re: Imran Khan (IK). That was not my intent at all! I tend to get ahead of myself and sometimes apply broad brush strokes. I shouldn’t have spouted off based on circumstantial evidence, other’s words (trustworthy though they were), and my gut. Those bursting with emotion after taking their daily cues from western MSM and wont to ride the memes du jour do not concern me in the slightest, but for your sake and Amarynth’s I should have been strict and provided prior evidence given the pervasiveness, potency and duration of what I’ve now learned is the British psyop “Project IK.”

I’ve been busy since yesterday receiving & compiling alotta data. Don’t be disheartened when you read this! Sifting through this sordid tsunami of data, I just now realize myself that ejecting IK was not only prudent but vital to Pakistan’s future. Responsible men appear on the job, to save their nation from hegemonic torching. Russia and China support them, with gentle indirect nudging, that is my conclusion.

I called my friend/mentor, a 70 yo full professor of community medicine + PhD in statistics, who lived 50+ years in Pakistan. I’ve found him of unimpeachable character. He considers it sinful to lie or slander, and considers those who do so in Islam to be beyond the pale, wolves among sheep. He is an advocate of the underdog, volunteering to help underserved Pakistanis. His wife is Pashtun, of same tribe as IK. So a relative of IK according to their culture. He chose his words carefully and after deliberation of years.

I asked him to provide me written evidence. Pl find below what he told or wrote me (italics inside quotations are his written words) and the links he sent me on the fly. btw, this IK, also ~ 70 yo, is a well-known entity in Pakistan among the mature adult population. Keep that in mind, because we external to their environment are shaped by western MSM and invariably helpless objects of hearsay, omission, etc. Additionally, the most incisive commentary is in Urdu, foreign to us.

First, stripped of verbiage, here were my key assertions yesterday:

1. IK is an elite scion (Oxford, UK 1975) who hasn’t changed spots; far from an angel (I am admittedly biased and extremely distrustful of ALL elites – having had close viewing of our own disastrous lot in Africa; exceptions have taken place, as noted with Fidel). And a likely agent, given prior lifestyle & Anglo affiliations
2. He dug a hole for Pak via IMF and int orgs
3. He incited riots last week and harmed general peace (even if injustice done against him by opposing elites – does it justify torching the nation??)
4. He appears to remote control a mob making a nuclear country ungovernable
5. Russia/China did not belabor his ouster. They have evidence we do not. They continued working with Pak; Russia just sold them oil & CPEC of BRI is on track

Here were comments by my contact.

A. CHARACTER:
1. The West supports him
a) go to google or Youtube and type his name. How many negative stories do you see? Do same for Putin or Erdogan or XJP. Contrast? This is a story in itself, like the dog which did not bark at night. When have you heard of the West supporting “Muslim righteous sufis who benefit their own people??” Ridiculous
b) he is a western agent. I asked whether he had direct proof he was a western agent. The Prof wrote that by his fruits we know him. “Have you read about Lawrence of Arabia ? Can any one give explicit proof until he is not in government?” i.e. there is plausible deniability for now. Perhaps as with Philby and others, archives will tell us in future…
(c) he is a media construct. Look at the size of his wiki page!! And photos & venues therein. The Prof noted he has come to intimidate other Pakistani politicians & even semi-Junta running the country. He has significant media presence, enhanced by social media and western tools. They can be turned against his opponents with ease, in addition to have their homes torched, as was done in last week.

2. Facility with lying
a) in his own words:

• IK: “taking a U-turn is a “‘hallmark of great leadership'” – i.e. flipflopping and changing his stance and word is “great” (!!) 80 times he was caught fibbing
• “U-turn against blaming US for ouster” salient points: lack of statesmanship (and consistency), histrionics, fluidity of fundamental positions

b) sold expensive gifts presented as Head of State, perjured himself, skipped court hearings (!)

3. Cheated in cricket (no proof provided, except to say he publicly admitted in past of queering the ball with the rough metal cap of a bottle hidden in his pants [AHH: how? to what end? I have no idea nor understanding of cricket]

4. Engaged in religious impropriety (practices at variance and which caused wide outrage in Pakistan) I do not know Urdu.. maybe Sudhi can translate??

Prof: “You can clearly see that IK is prostrating at shrine. The religious scholars equated it to Shirk [blasphemy] and asked IK to do Istaghfar [seek forgiveness for sinful act]. This religious scholar likes IK but condemn this act of prostration”
This reminded me of the Dalai Lama pretending piety. A person forced to fake it under pressure and forgetting the proper expressions and ways, lol!

5. Demonstrated lack of self-respect or propriety appropriate to position. He personally drove the visiting GCC princes like a chauffeur from the airport! What is this?? here (01)  and also here (02)  He was laughing stock in the GCC, increasing their contempt for Pakistanis.

B. POLITICAL CORRUPTION:
1. Trends BEFORE the April 2022 Regime change:
a) In 2014 (when IK was 62 yo, and 4 years before his stint as PM from 2018-2022), corruption case per wiki. Prof’s message: “Foreign funding case was lying pending since 8 years. It was first pointed out by one of his own party members and he did not allow it to open during his [his] regime[‘s time in power]”

b) Disasters & trends DURING his time as Prime Minister

• Economy: “Now I will share with you how growing economy was nose downed by IK government. Look how Pakistan was progressing when Nawaz Sharif was ousted in 2017 to bring IK by army establishment:” [AHH: Nawaz Sharif was PM preceding him)
• “You can clearly see that how growth rate went nose down from 2018 to 2020 just before Covid started and remember IK took over govt in 2018”
  
• “Pakistan stock in 2017”

• “Pakistan stock in Feb 2020 just before Covid 19”

• He worked against Chinese CPEC: “You can see how stock nose down more than 51000 to 41000 in 2020 though it reached below 30000 at one stage. All this happened because IK closed down work on CPEC project and most of the investors left country.” 
• Catastrophic increase in Total External Debt during his brief term:
  “You can see that in initial 70 years of Pakistan there was a total loan of 90 billion dollars with an average of 1.3 billion per year. In IK tenure of less than 4 year it reached to 130 billion with an average increase of 10 billion per year and in 2021 alone it was 14 billion, you can imagine where they were heading too. If this man would have survived to 2023 the loan must had reached to more than 140 billion which must have resulted in default of Pakistan. All indicators were showing that he is busy in process of drowning Pakistan” 
• Electricity & rolling blackouts: “Before NS in previous government load shedding went from 12 hours to 22 hours per day various part of Pakistan. In NS govt from 2013 to 2017 he brought it 0 load-shedding which again went to 4-6 hour in IK regimen”
• Crime: “Law and order situation also improved in NS period specially in economic hub Karachi which again deteriorated in IK period. All this point out that IK was on agenda of bringing Pakistan to unstable country like Iraq”
• Pakistan corruption perception index (CPI): “was 116 in 2016 in Nawaz Sharif period which reached to 140 in Imran Khan ‘s period. You can image how much the corruption increased during his period. Corruption increased so rapidly that even in 2020 CPI was 124 and in 2021 it climbed to 140 while Imran Khan was still in government. Remember he was ousted in April 2022.”
• Real Estate & sundry corruption:
  • National Accountability Bureau (NAB) investigating the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) project
  • fined for buying vast lucrative plots & illegal construction on public property in the suburbs of the federal capital
    Prof’s comment: “The first illegal property which was regularized after becoming prime minister was the palace of Bani Gala of Imran Khan which was constructed on 350 Canals of land. One canal is equal to 500 square yard . You can imagine the kind of palace he has built… There was a billion tree project corruption case by Imran Khan’s government.”
    “it is important to note that as soon as IK took charge a campaign was started to demolish illegal properties and even 50 years properties were demolished inspite of request of the occupant to allow them to regularize but were not given this privilage, however not only IK palace but the flats of IK constructed in most expensive areas of Islamabad were regularized.”
    “He also sold a very expensive watch worth 250 million Rupees, gifted by MBS in open market and did not declare the profit earned in tax return and refused to tell how much money earned and where he sold i. Later on after his ouster he submitted fake document about sale of the watch.”
  • He submitted this Urdu video of another corruption scandal. Reviews cases

2. SINCE April 2022 ouster:
1. [Prof:] “Reason for his recent arrest:” Case began in 2018 in Britain’s National Crime Agency, leading to settlement with real estate tycoon friend, “derived from bribery and corruption in an overseas nation” Good links/video summary of situation too within this article [AHH: note (1) arrest was for contempt of court, ignoring summons, response, etc.. (2) data trail indicates this British “case” may have been legerdemain to justify transfering $150+ M to Pakistan, subsequently used as slush fund for his pol party while he was in power! The chutzpah! And led to direct corrupting of higher court too]
2. more from FT: [“Khan’s political party had received funds from overseas-based individuals and companies in violation of the country’s laws”]

The Professor’s conclusion on IK: “Yes that’s unfortunate, this man could do a lot for Pakistan, had he stuck to his party declared agenda” This mirrors mercouris who in informative May 14 Duran video notes he was so inconsequential and ineffective while in power that mercouris does not see how he could turn Pakistan around in another term. So a complete hot-air balloon like Trump. And to top it all, mercouris notes he has so made use of the mob-inciting act that now it had a life of its own which would continue to haunt him and Pakistan (like France) and risked making a nuclear power ungovernable, the most criminal effect of all!

Our final interaction:
[AHH: “in every metric he was catastrophe”]
[Prof:] “Surprisingly when I present this undeniable data to my Classfellows friend and overseas Pakistan, what now Imran Khan can do to improve the economy? They have no answer. Still most of them believe IK is best under influence of international media and are not ready look at the statistics of his disastrous actions.”

Does this remind you of Trumpistas or other participatory democracy voters sticking to same failed paradigm?? Pakistan is under same magical capture.. The Mighty Magical Wurlitzer..

Do you understand dear emerson why educated older Pakistanis are so angry at him? They were trying to survive the military Juntas when this whirling dervish assasin set on them! His draw of impressionable youth is irrelevant. Much is juiced from abroad, as we saw when west sent their troll armies online against Iran. There is no big difference between Pakistani urban youth and other unseasoned urban youth worldwide. His beautiful campaign words did not match the bitter reality. He turned out to be a Navalny who succeeded and got elected, turning his nation into a dystopia.

In summary, he:

• lied repeatedly, deeply shameful in their society and in traditional ones as you know, invalidating claims of piety and reform
• nearly foreclosed their future with unrepayable debt & loss in investment climate
• nearly killed off CPEC (angering China)
• cratered their stock market and economy
• created deep divisions within society
• made a joke of their nation (driving visiting GCC princes like they were Sahibs)
• behaved impiously by prostrating to shrines (against most Pakistanis/world Islamic precepts – and incidentally showing his ignorance of his own professed faith, and then lied about it, in spite of video evidence) – are these marks of a pious Sufi or of a huckster?
• incited youth and ignorant into torching cities & blocking commerce and communications routes
• fights to return to power in this October’s crucial elections to finish the demolition derby
• Is supported to the hilt by western soft-power and medias, indicating a deployed weapon
• and made nuclear Pakistan nearly ungovernable

Are these documented deeds and patterns that of a sincere mature reformed Sufi patriot with good intent towards his nation, or a foreign agent with same sense of impunity characteristics as Macron or Scholz currently torching their nations? It is not a coincidence the similarity between these smug supranationalists. All know Empire stands behind them, informing their weaning arrogance and impudence, with a fixed smirk.

Our professor was in agony. He has five adult kids & grandkid and recently went to Turkiye to acquire citizenship being so disturbed at Pakistan’s future prospects.

I derive no pleasure whatsoever sharing this news. Has been a most unpleasant 24 hours, not good for blood pressure. Why I usually avoid these controversies. But I now have reams of data corroborating the conversations and gut instincts from before. I have had many Pakistani friends and wish their country well.. some of my pals and colleagues in med school were of Pakistani descent, why I know their BS style and had the gut IK was fake. And this Professor I quote throughout was in fact one of my mentors. So the Truth will out, if we will only look. Why would western MSM tell the truth about IK when they do what they do against all others? That factor alone sold me, why I had not bothered to obtain evidence before. Now you have it.

If Pakistan is to have a future, and to operate the crucial CPEC node of the BRI which gives China access around the Malacca Straits and SLOCs interdiction, and for nuclear war prospects to be dampened on the south Asian subcontinent, IK or his ilk cannot come back into power.. I note Russia is supporting the current regime with oil shipments in local currencies, which bolsters them and lessens drop in QoL and thus IK’s chances of return, no? This is a salient point, the lifeline being given, indicating Russia’s choice. Is this October’s Pakistan election as crucial as Turkiye’s????

Life is unintelligible viewing slick western media campaigns. Always remember, (1) they lie with every breath and (2) they want to destroy all societies nowadays as part of Guidestones and depop agendas, which means dispersing their suave agents worldwide to fulfill those tasks using every device and deception.

I am so sorry. Don’t give up on Pakistan! I still see hope.

Best regards

On new Daily Chronicles post now:
“From the Russian MoD
◽️On 12 May at around 6.30pm Moscow time, AFU Air Force combat aircraft launched a missile attack on … using Storm Shadow missiles supplied to the Kiev regime by the UK“

This is disturbing on so many levels. They are in a real hurry!! To finish torching Europe, including the UK, so can either get on with the big dance, or to swivel to China completely. With the financial ponzi house in escalating disintegration, they simply lack the time for more measured moves.

No nation, even observing the deepest inner daoist calm can maintain such focus and not retaliate. They are counting on either retaliation, which ends peace throughout european peninsula, or internal Russian implosion as their population and segments of elite cannot tolerate inaction to such repeating rank provocation. So they will keep poking poking poking until they obtain the counter-escalation they desperately seek. All it takes is one party to tango into the wider war.

I repeat from above, someone wants to suicide the UK!

Nope do not mind at all! If it walks, talks and quacks like a duck.. the only quibble: the unimaginative little judge from Kansas is more likely dancing to others’ drumming..

The Chef has left a most vile taste in our mouths. Pity. He and his org are gonna meet JFK’s intended fate for Mr. Dulles’ nazilovin’ organization, into 1000 little pieces. At this point it is immaterial whether maskirovka, leveraged by foreign 3 letter orgs, or the poor fella simply went bat shit crazy. Lèse-majesté and decorum requires it, and so we can cauterize this gangrenous wound.

Given the coordinated storm of the 6th-column Telegram “Ukie counter-offensive” squad of last several days, it is safe to say the august 5 eyes and other intelligence agencies played a role in his flaming out. In part to avenge his successes in Africa. Regardless, they will come to regret it. He was fronting a single easily identifiable PMC. Out of its remains will be born 10-15 leaner and far more capable mercs with the same unmatchable feedstock.

A brave lady Whistleblower: US Government is ‘Middleman’ in cross-border Child Trafficking Operation. It isn’t just sex slavery, organs, adrenochrome or satanic-harvesting, or even trite deviance, it is the same phenomenon afflicting most humans worldwide: contrived debt-bondage. There’s a visceral need to profit from the misery of Others.

ZZzzzzzzzz……………

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “How to shoot oneself in the Head” 

(1) Renault’s March 2022 withdrawal from its second-biggest market in Russia continues to be a blood-gushing wound.
➡️ the sheer self-defeating senselessness of it all: “over 2 million cars have been sold in 20 years at the country’s more than 150 dealerships”
➡️ “Russian car dealerships are seeking 8.5 billion rubles ($110 million) in compensation from Renault due to losses.. this was the second attempt to reach an agreement on compensation in a pre-trial order.. If the sides fail to reach an agreement, the dealers are prepared to take the case to court, which would result in reputational costs for Renault and difficulties for the brand to eventually return to Russia, the association warned..”
➡️ “Renault’s assets were later transferred to Russian state ownership”
➡️ Meanwhile, in November 2022 (seven months after it left, anticipating permanent abandonment), “Russia launched production of an updated version of the iconic Soviet-era car brand Moskvich at the former Renault plant in Moscow.”

(2) The moment when you realize someone really wants to suicide Perfide Albion…

(3) Open borders:A South African émigré to USA sees déjà vu: the same slow-grind (anaconda-like constriction) to insecurity and collapse. I disagree as no two collapses are the same. And USA is huge! The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And did S.A. face current perfect storm of dedollarization, expeditionary war losses, banking collapse, inflation, high prices, food insecurity, etc etc?? So while there are parallels, Hemingway’s observation of “gradually, then suddenly” may be more realistic.

Mr P,

if Mrs P can take photos of your old toons (if that’s OK), then she can download the photos to your computer via email or a direct download via cord or SD card, then you can post to this forum as an image, the same way you’ve been posting images.. that’s all needed, no need to scan or take to studio or such as in back in the day. Digital age has really simplified (and for spooks too!)

I really worry about serial shooting spreading to Serbia. Let’s watch it. Mindwashing can perhaps be turned on at flip of switch, if they injected and are near 5G or with smartphone in their hand??? No psychotropics needed anymore. Most are vaxxed up. Walking zombie bombs, waiting for signals, ready to go… Scary days.
