Boiling Point

The disgusting boil was nearly flat this morning. It has been slowly draining through the gaping hole in the center of it (after it “popped” on Saturday). Four layers of paper towels are placed between the boil and the air mattress every evening to absorb the bloody ooze. Nonetheless, the appointment at the Makahiki Clinic was kept.

The assigned physician concluded that the pus had drained. Oral antibiotics were suggested, but that option was declined. A prescription was forthcoming for a topical antibiotic ointment.

The attending physician also suggested that an appointment be made at one of the “super-duper corona” immunization centers in order to partake of the “vaccine.” That, too, was declined.

Later, upon an attempt to retrieve the prescribed ointment from the designated pharmacy, there was the puzzling discovery that no prescription was transmitted. In the last three appointments, the assigned physician has given the wrong information or has not followed through on procedures. Perhaps, the fact that the physician is a senior citizen herself, could be a troublesome indicator.

Nonetheless, there is now some doubt about remaining a patient of the Makahiki Clinic. For now, being fairly healthy (as well as personally researching test results and treatments) has insured that no surprise health issues are lurking. In fact, the latter should be a universal axiom. Personal care and prevention are essential, along with healthy practices (i.e., good diet, exercise. Relying upon an extremely broken healthcare system is foolish.

Addendum: In the times of “super-duper corona,” self-sufficiency and independence cannot be overstated. Trust has been eroded at all levels.

Visible Speed Test

The wireless service with Visible has been adequate so far. However, most users should avoid this particular service provider. Here’s why ...

The speed test results at 3:45pm HST displays the data speeds and latency for daytime hours. Yeah, that’s dial-up modem speeds! At night, data speeds are adequate enough to stream 720p video, but not continuously. There’s a lot of buffering or disconnections. So far, though, viewing “Star Trek: TNG” on PlutoTV has been fine.

Phone calls and text messages appear to be functional. Of course, few personal phone calls are made and zero text messages are sent or received. Visible routes everything through a handful of nodes on the mainland empire. Users here are being routed through the node in the State of Kansas.

So, is the service worth $25 per month? You be the judge.

Addendum: Network speed tests do not consider local cell tower congestion and deprioritization. Waikiki, in general and by observation, has very few cell towers with respect to the core population density.

Old Man Boil


The last two days have been blessed with nicer weather. A view from the hallway in the “old folks home” in Waikiki at dusk serves a witness. Exquisite, isn’t it?

The disgusting boil popped on Saturday during the shower session in the mausoleum. Unfortunately, it did not fully drain. The inability to reach the hideous boil (just below the right shoulder blade) prevented the application of pressure to draw out the pus. Obviously, it subsequently reinfected itself. So, back to “Square Zero.”

Ala Moana Center has been extremely crowded, even on the weekdays. Where were all of those fools during the “lockdown”? Hard as it may be to believe, they were all sequestered in their homes (read: mausoleums) for months on end. The fear of death is powerful incentive.

No doubt, they spent a good portion of that time worshiping the widescreen OLED tube, or playing with “smartphones” and other computing devices. They were continuously connected to the “mainstream” propaganda and entertainment venues. Little wonder why, upon obtaining a little bit of “freedom,” they went “hog wild” on rabid consumerism and junk food. All the while their “minds turned to mush” (i.e., became “woke”). Perhaps that is why people are filing en masse to the various “super-duper corona” vaccination centers in the islands. Oh, the horror!

Ides of Corona


The new mayor of Honolulu announced that bars may reopen today, just in time for the Ides of March. He has also relaxed the 25-person restriction for funerals. Now, a crowd of up to 50% capacity of the mortuary facility will be allowed. Otherwise, “Tier 3” restrictions remain in effect.

Rain drenched the islands for the last three days. Honolulu experienced heavy rain all-day Monday and Wednesday evening. Having to venture out to procure dinner last night was a nightmare.

Miscellany: A query was sent to the Makahiki Clinic concerning the troublesome boil. An appointment will most likely be made next week to have the boil “lanced” and drained.

Excerpt — Great Reset

Alexander Dugin

An excerpt from a treatise by Russian political philosopher, Alexander Dugin:

After defeating the external enemy, liberals have discovered two more forms of collective identity. First of all, gender. After all, gender is also something collective: either masculine or feminine. Gender required abolition, as did all other forms of collective identity. Mass migration is atomizing populations in the West using an ideology of human rights that operates with the individual without regard to cultural, religious, social or national aspects. The liberals had one last step left to take – to abolish humans. After all, the human is also a collective identity, which means that it must be overcome, abolished, destroyed, and humans replaced – albeit partially – by cyborgs, Artificial Intelligence networks, and products of genetic engineering.

It’s a long article, but worth reading for the in-depth analysis, on the Katehon site.

Demise


A nice sunny day was the incentive to procure a cup of coffee at the fast food joint in town. Over nine months has elapsed since the last time a visit was made there. Arrival at the gym was offset by over a half-hour as coffee time was observed. Unfortunately, there are no places to sit because of the “super-duper corona” farce.

The mailbox at the Chinatown Post Office was visited prior to coffee time. So far, no copayment billing for the medical lab tests. Hopefully, the costs were completely covered by Medicare as part of the annual physical examination.

Dining out at Ala Moana Center has been limited to two or three days per week, coincident with Panda Express® visits. On the other days, meals are brought back to the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. In the last week or so, the self-awareness of being alone became much more prevalent while at Ala Moana Center. Very few people dine out alone, usually only senior citizens. None of them look very content.

Having only a few acquaintances, no friends, and a disassociated family has been been bearable for many moons. However, the desolate nature of “lockdowns” and the use of the ridiculous face mask as a muzzle have both created a hostile landscape, especially for loners. Even at the gym, very few people talk to each other. The whole atmosphere is zombie-like. People now only associate in mini-tribes.

Prior to the “super-duper corona” plan-demic, spare time was always spent loitering in crowded places like Ala Moana Center and the International Marketplace. Just being around people, even without engaging any of them, was a deterrent to aloneness. So much solitary time is spent in the mausoleum now, and that’s clearly not healthy. The Fascists are engaged in genocide, but the fear of death continue to keep the masses in check and, ironically, insure their demise.

Addendum: Anecdotal reports indicate that many friendships, familial bonds, and marriages have dissolved over differences in opinion over “Orange Bad Man,” the rigged 2020 (s)election, “woke” bullshit, “super-duper corona” with its associated Fascist mandates, and the mRNA “vaccine.”

Insult


The detestable “propaganda bullhorn,” owned by the equally detestable “Bozos,” published a truly condescending piece aimed at the rank-and-file peons of empire. The title says it all. The puny one-time $1,400 “stimulus” is going to lift people out of poverty? What an insult!

On a side note, single-family homes in Hawai’i now average $920,000 ... for a dumpy tract home on a puny lot. That’s asset price inflation (often discussed in Notes) at work.

Cat in the Hat

The “woke” bullshit is not exactly a new concept. In actuality, the foundations of “woke” were around many decades ago. In the old “blog,” there is a detailed discussion about the state of higher education from personal experiences in the fetid microcosm of the Diploma Mill, primarily the rancid effects of the toxic “Femi-Nazi” movement. The latter movement was the beginning of the pseudo-liberal and pseudo-progressive mindset.

Of course, the ramifications were fairly obvious when the tenure of pseudo-professorship was voluntarily terminated (i.e., departure before “cancellation”). The issues that have now spread like a malignant tumor across all “Western” universities were already being harvested over 14 years ago. When it occurs at a nondescript “podunk” university in Hawai’i, then it must have been in “full bloom” elsewhere.

Educational institutions ceased to be conduits of learning and knowledge when the infestation of corporate influence and sponsorship came into prevalence. Those institutions then transformed into vocational training centers. However, as their corporate sponsors began shipping jobs overseas to China (read: globalization), the educational institutions made another change, one for the worst. That is, they became incubators for “woke.” The rest is history.

On a side note, pornography has become one of the major vehicles of “woke.” Yes, that’s difficult to swallow (no pun intended), but the latter is true. A more detailed discussion may be forthcoming. For now, perform a search for the bizarre new genre of “hypno-porn.” And, peruse the “bimbo,” “sissy,” “feminization” hypno/trance sites like Bambi Sleep and Samantha Sez. Just another example to support the thesis in the Notes post titled, “Wake.”

Coronamatic

Love’s® Bread

The largest commercial bakery in Hawai’i is shutting down permanently at the end of the month because of losses generated by the “super-duper corona” plan-demic. Love’s® Bakery has been in business for over 160 years, and its products are beloved by local residents.


“Super-duper corona” daily infection tallies have been extremely low, although the curious phenomenon is also apparently worldwide. The “vaccine,” you think? No, the real reason is that PCR testing guidance has been covertly modified. Amplification cycles have now been limited to 37 or less. Obviously, the latter provides direct evidence of false positives and the myth of the “asymptomatic carrier.”

The truth about “lockdowns,” face masks (read:muzzles), the “vaccine,” faulty PCR testing, and other “super-duper corona” issues were discussed in detail in Notes over the entire course of the plan-demic. Now, there are variety of sources available on-line to verify all of the “conspiracy theories,” if a diligent search is performed. Hopefully, the tiring discussion in Notes can soon be mummified.

Addendum: In yet another ridiculous move, the organization that oversees the estate of Dr. Seuss has pulled the publications rights of six of the author’s books. The reason? The books allegedly contain offensive “racist” material. The cesspool of empire is ready to explode from its own putrid gases!

Conundrum 2021

The personal on-going relocation project was sidelined by the “super-duper corona” plan-demic. One of the options was the mainland empire. A small motorhome (read: cargo van camper conversion) would be purchased and a long-term tour of the nation would have ensued. The latter plan has been scrapped.

Recent news has indicated that there have been increasing “racial hate crimes” perpetrated on people of Asian ethnicity (i.e., “yellow”) by “blacks.” The origin of that apparent form of “hate” is the constant propaganda about “super-duper corona” originating in China.

Of course, the history of animosity between “gooks” and “blacks” goes back even further. Many moons ago, back in Convalescent City, there was a moment in time when a room rental was secured in a house with all “black” tenants. There were no problems, and great friendships developed.

During that tenure, though, the infamous Rodney King riots occurred in LA. The destruction spread into “yellow” ‘hoods and some, particularly the Koreans, violently resisted the “black” mobs. That did not generate any animosity in the household, but visiting “black” friends were wary. The rest of the household always defended the friendship and defused any potential problems. “He’s okay,” they would tell the outsiders. “He’s one of us.”

Coming from Hawai’i, a “melting pot” in itself, there has never been any inclination toward “racial” prejudice. However, during the 27-year tenure in the mainland empire, there were multiple exposures to “racial” prejudice and discrimination from “whites,” irritating but tolerable.

Of course, as the theory of human origins in Africa acquired more proof (primarily through migration patterns revealed through mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosomal data), the whole concept of “race” had to be personally discarded. And, as of now, all “races” will be wrapped with quotation marks in Notes.

Yet, here in the 21st century, the archaic and ignorant idea of “race” has been elevated above truth. With so little time left on the planet, there must be an exit plan from the crumbling empire. Where to go?

Addendum: At this point in time, the motorhomeless plan for remaining in the islands is not considered feasible.
