I would like to share just a few observations regarding the coronovirus and other things.
I drive regularly to my childhood home, which is about 350 km away from where I live currently.
(As an aside: I learned recently, that if you are [especially] long distance driving, it would be good to switch you phone in an airplane mode. If the phone is on and as you drive forwards and the location of the car changes, it continually searches for the nearest mobile tower, and "irradiates" in a more active fashion. The problem here is, in my understading, that the fuselage of the car functions as a "Faraday cage" and the phone radiation doesn't leave the inside of the car in the same way if you were outside of the car, out in the open. This exessive amount of EMF can show itself e.g. as extra tiredness. Personally I have seen an instant improvement in putting the phone in airplane mode: there is less tiredness and driving the whole trip is not as ardouous as before. When you make stops during the drive, you can always check the phone then for messages and calls.)
I visited my parents recently for the first time since the corona restrictions began, and was somewhat surprised by how seriously they have taken the sanctions. I guess I lived in a "bubble", as my workplace closed early on due to the coronovirus, and I followed this thread/ forum so I knew where the things are standing a bit better than someone who solely depends on the mainstream media. So stepping out of the bubble (I live alone) and seeing it for real was a bit disheartening. However, my parents are not "too far gone", as they at least were ok for me to come over and visit them, even though they both are over 70 years old and thus in the "risk group".
The same went with my relatives: safety distances had to be maintained when meeting them, no hugs and so on (at least my parents were ok with hugging). So all in all, it was a bit of a shock seeing how things really are "out there", especialy amongst one's next of kin.
I have tried to throw some comments countering the official coronafarce "facts", but my parents are not really too receptive as they are dependent and enthralled by the MSM. In general, it has been quite an exercise to watch the evening news with them, as through the years there have been the usual bits of propaganda about Putin, Assad, Trump, etc. and my folks take it to heart and curse all of them for being such lunatics. As I have thought that I have some contrary information to add to that, I have presented some counter arguments, often leading to both parties becoming irritated. Nowadays I just leave the room if I feel my irritations rising up, and of course it is in vain to try to mention any opposing information, when the news broadcasts have gotten people in "fervor". Better to do that when they are more receptive and genuinely want to know (there have been some great comments about this point previously on this thread).
Interesting thing about my father. He told us this story ages ago, how he was lying on the sofa at home back in 1963 and it was the time for the late news on the radio. He can vividly remember how the main news that night were, that US pesident Kennedy had been shot and it was spesifically mentioned how the shots came from the grassy knoll. Later on the narrative switched gears, pointing towards Oswald and the book depository, completely opposite direction. This caused my father to be suspicious of the official narrative of the assassination, and he is adamant to this day that it was a conspiracy which was machined in his opinion by the Texas oilmen/ bankers/ CIA/ etc.
I was barely in my teens, when there was this special live broadcast from a TV studio, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the JFK assassination. There were some documentaries shown, discussions had and so forth. This certain famous TV personality in our country (who had studied the assassination) was present there as well, and I remember being impressed by his knowledge and conviction about the fact, how there was indeed a conspiracy and Oswald was in fact just a patsy. Then a couple of years after that, Oliver Stone's JFK had a premiere and my father took me and my friend to see the movie. I remember being mesmerized of the happenings and did not check my watch once even though the movie run for 3 hours! After the movie, my father retell the story of him hearing the news and the shots having been fired from the grassy knoll. This was pretty spooky, and I remember that my hair stood on end! It was obvious even to a youngster that there was something fishy with the official story about the JFK assassination, and I think this made me more open to alternative explanations (of different topics) from there on.
(Btw, I suspect that a movie like JFK would not get made these days, and such open talk about conspiracies would not be allowed in the mainstream TV like back in '88.)
Back to my father, over the years I have discussed with him how there are quite likely other conspiracies other than the JFK assassination, the most obvious example being 911. During these discussions I could see that his eyes glazed over and he was not willing to "go there", as it would quite likely have revealed "too much" about the real machinations that are done behind the curtains. So I ceased to bring these topics up unless there is a genuine interest and he asks at some point.
Others have mentioned and written about the importance of this thread, and I would just like to add, how it is like a fountain of sanity in the midst of this all around craziness. Even if the PTB and their lackeys seem to have the upper hand at the moment, it is a comforting thought, how there are so many of us here and in other places as well, who see through the BS. That will likely amount to something

And MSM seems so full of manufactured BS these days. They are quite the BS factories.
