Okay y’all, I’ve had a lovely break and would be quite content to remain isolated in relative obscurity until all the madness of the world just up and blows away, but I feel compelled to speak out, or perhaps as the Lord has been telling me, to bleed out. As the slogan goes, “God didn’t save you so you could remain silent.”
I am such a survivor, such an alley cat, like spam and ammo all the way and a properly stocked secret underground bunker, and you can just send me a text when all the insanity has passed. Or not! I’m quite content to just remain in my bubble forever, BUT that’s not where God wants me, which brings me to the whole concept of bleeding out. That is what Jesus Christ did for us all. He opened His arms up wide and He just bled out.
It’s not very glamorous. It certainly doesn’t sit well with our natural desire for self preservation or our heroic notions of being the last man standing in a post apocalyptic hero story. Most of us would much prefer a good Hollywood blockbuster, perhaps a frolicking Mad Max saga. I have a great deal of empathy for the Jews who welcomed Jesus in on Palm Sunday as a conquering hero whom they hoped would lead an army in victory against Rome. I also have some empathy, some awe and admiration, for Jesus Himself who prayed a lot and heard some version of what I am talking about too, the Father’s call to simply hold your arms wide open with love and bleed out.
With our Lord and Savior it was a literal crucifixion, horrific torture, pain, and death that rent the temple curtain right down the middle. I tend to faint at the thought of simply bleeding out emotionally, confronting grief and despair, staying present in the midst of human foolishness and insanity, staying present in His presence, walking through fear.
Without His presence I’m pretty much just burnt toast, but that’s a whole other story.
Chuckling here, but Abraham once launched a good defense of Sodom and Gomorrah pleading with God, “What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Far be it from you to do such a thing…” Okay well, how about 45? I doubt I could have found the breath to launch such an argument myself and I’m quite certain I would have started out with a number more like “five.” Lord, is it possible there may be five righteous people in that city? Nah, not very likely. Never mind. Carry on…..
It absolutely rips my heart out that we are going to start vaxxing kids. As I’ve already said, I personally know of young people who have gotten very sick and I know of some suspicious deaths, too. That doesn’t even include VAERS, the formal place where adverse events and reactions are supposed to be reported. They are not even being reported as they should be because it is a time consuming, nightmare of a process. In spite of those obstacles there have now been some 16,000 deaths logged. Something is very, very wrong with this picture.
I can hardly bear the truth of pharmakeia, the fact that the very same greed and evil that inflicted us with the opioid epidemic and cost hundreds thousands of lives, has now been granted billions of dollars in government contracts to inflict us all with an experimental mrna vaxx. A liability free vaxx mandate, a complete immunity from paying any damages. There is all this authoritarianism going on and zero accountability from anyone.
Also there’s a great deception going on, scales over people’s eyes, blindness, an unwillingness or inability to see the truth! For goodness sakes, the swine flu vaccine was pulled when we had 36 suspicious deaths and a few signs of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Today I read of a fully vaxxed elderly man who died of covid and the doctor actually said, “Yes but it would have been so much worse if he hadn’t been vaxxed.” Wut?! I don’t know how much more objective reality can get than “dead.” Is there such a thing as, “less seriously dead?” I think not.
Oh, the wail of my soul bearing witness to this stupidity! It is just so painful. Somebody smart once said, “stupid should hurt” and trust me it does, just never for the most deserving target. It’s usually just the innocent who suffer. One of my worst nightmares is being forced to watch something awful go down and being completely unable to stop it. And here we are once again! “Insanitybytes” was actually an avatar born of that nightmare sense of complete despair and powerlessness. I am actually not the crazy one, I just really want you to live to see another day.
It’s not my call who lives to see another day! It’s really not, and God is sovereign over the whole mess, not me. I’m reminded too, that the world has always been broken, that we once crucified and tortured people, that we have always persecuted the just and murdered the innocent. Jesus came not for the righteous but to lead sinners to repentance. It’s not like evil was just suddenly invented, it’s just that the lights are now on and you can see all these cockroaches scurrying about. That doesn’t mean the world was a good place two years ago.
I love the Lord. He is just so kind to me and patient. There is nothing amusing about this situation at all and yet He just says, bleed out for me. “Consider it all joy,” rekindle your sense of humor, and somehow that all makes sense, somehow that just puts an extra skip in my step and makes everything all better. He really doesn’t ask much of me except to show up, speak up, and bear witness to the madness of the world, but also to bear witness to the goodness of God, to His faithfulness and enduring mercy.
I can’t NOT do it, which really is somewhat amusing. I am just compelled to share the good news and if I’m not blogging, I’ll be painting it on rocks and writing on bathroom walls and all sorts of other horrors. Today I picked up a wet, discarded mask hanging on a bush, a toxic biohazard for sure, and wrote “John 3:17” on it. Very gross, the dirty mask, not the words. Those words really resonate for me today because, “God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him,” and I must find a way to do the same.

I wonder where all the human rights lawyers have run too. This should be a dream for them. But they seem to be silent on the insanity. For a vaccine that doesn’t prevent you from getting it, and doesn’t keep you from spreading it, then WHAT IS THE REASON FOR GETTING IT???

CDC Advisory Committee Quietly Confirms Moderna Jab Significantly More Dangerous Than Pfizer
Tyler Durden’s Photo
BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, OCT 21, 2021 – 07:10 PM
Update (1900ET): The CDC’s independent advisory panel voted unanimously to recommend booster doses of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine for certain populations and allow people to mix-and-match doses.
This aligns with The FDA’s authorization Wednesday night which said people could switch to whichever vaccine they wanted for their booster shot.
Boosters for Moderna’s two-dose vaccine and J&J’s single-dose shot may be taken by Americans over 65, as well as those over 18 with a higher risk of severe COVID or exposure to the virus.
Dosing for the Moderna booster will be less than its two-dose regiment and will be permitted six months after the third shot.
J&J will be allowed after two months.
The Food and Drug Administration authorization Wednesday night greenlit people could switch to whichever vaccine they wanted for their booster shot.
As a reminder, the committee in late September did not support a Pfizer booster for people in high-risk workforces but was overruled by CDC director Rochelle Walensky.
“We have to acknowledge where we’re in a situation where we don’t have as much data as we would like. But we still have to make practical decisions and I think there’s as much data to support mixing and matching as there is for boosters in general,” John Whyte, chief medical officer of WebMD, tells Axios.
* * *
Back in July, we reported on a study published in JAMA’s Cardiology journal which linked “acute chest pain” in male American soldiers to mRNA jabs. The pain, as researchers found, was caused by myocarditis and pericarditis, two different types of heart inflammation, which, as we now know, are rare but dangerous side effects of the mRNA vaccines.
About six weeks after that, the Washington Post published leaked data from a Canadian study which claimed that the risks of these types of dangerous side effects (which mostly occur in younger men) were significantly higher in patients given the Moderna jab vs. the Pfizer jab.
Now, one day after the FDA defied its own advisors by approving the Moderna jab and J&J jab for booster doses for practically all American adults (while also producing guidelines for mixing and matching of vaccines for booster doses), a CDC advisory panel met Thursday and, while reviewing all the data on safety and efficacy, finally admitted that the earlier warnings about the excess dangers associated with the Moderna jab have been confirmed.
What’s more, as the slide below says, rates of rare heart risks (myocarditis/pericarditis) among 18-39 year olds are higher for the Moderna jab than the Pfizer jab. But risks are still present for both, and it’s the younger patients (who least need the vaccines) who are most at risk for the side effects.
To be sure, the CDC advisory committee presentation notes claim that most cases of heart inflammation following vaccination are “generally mild, with prompt resolution of symptoms”. But keep in mind, that’s in adult patients under the age of 40, who are among the lowest risk for COVID (unless they have a weakened immune system, are obese or have any other issues that make them particularly vulnerable).
For a visualization of the risks of Moderna vs. Pfizer, check out the chart below, which was presented to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and relies on data gathered by Kaiser Permanente Northern California.
Of course, this data doesn’t include patients who received boosters, although some data have shown that booster doses raise the risk for rare side effects (though they do remain pretty rare).
When it comes to boosters, it is unclear if the myocarditis risk of the Moderna booster will be as high since the FDA and CDC are asking Moderna to reformulate boosters with a lower dose (since there’s also data showing that the Moderna jab’s efficacy is longer lasting than that of the Pfizer jab).
Unfortunately, ACIP member Keipp Talbot, who chairs a work group on COVID vaccine safety, told his colleagues on Thursday that there’s no way of knowing for certain right now if the risks from the Moderna jab will be lessened by giving boosters that are half the dose of the original courses.
Another advisory committee member said she’s worried about giving boosters of mRNA jabs to young men, and also worried about giving boosters of the J&J jab to young women (the J&J and AstraZeneca jabs have been linked to serious side effects and even deaths).
Finally, after reviewing all the safety and efficacy data, one observer who apparently monitored Thursday’s meeting still has a burning question: Will mRNA boosters lead to stabilized boosting? Or is mRNA protection inherently short-lived?
Thanks to the Biden Administration’s rush to dole out booster jabs due to the delta variant (and now, with the threat of the delta-plus variant looming on the horizon), it looks like we’ll all find out together.

Zany Zande has another agenda besides seeking the truth, as best as he is able to ascertain it. Normal people can disagree about things, because the “truth” is not always cut and dried but still requires a lot of judgement, such as when the weighing of risks is involved. You can tell that someone is full of it if they try to tell you that their judgement call is the only right one and any other decision is based on conspiracy theories.

Wow, the pissing contests in the comments sections are so entertaining…especially when one side shows the facts behind their stance and the other…well… doesn’t. 😉 (lol)

Your time away was well spent as this is one of your best posts. There is so much hypocrisy, lying, bullying and outright craziness on so many issues it’s overwhelming and really hard to focus on what to be upset about and how to help. The vaccine mandates, especially for kids are the worst of this, but there is something that ties together the all around chaos we see on every issue which is the evilness that has corrupted so many souls, whether they are active participants or apathetic fools with their heads in the sand.
God loves justice and righteousness so I know he is against all that’s happening and wants us to speak out about it. His timing unfortunately is not always what I’d like it to be but I do know He will make things right in the end.

I’ve said it before. YOU need to be President. You wrote this from my heart, too, without even knowing it. I’m sharing it. God bless you. Thank you for bleeding out…again.
