(Joe Martino) In society right now, we’re not having open and honest conversations, and it’s driving division like we’ve never seen before. Allow me to explain. People have a great deal of questions regarding COVID-19, and those questions are not honestly being explored in mass culture. And while some of the doubts and questions are in fact unfounded and perhaps paranoid, other questions are founded in science or are at least very grounded inquiry – so why are ALL questions being painted with the “unhinged conspiracy” brush?

For example, people are wondering why COVID treatments like Ivermectin or HCQ are not being focused on more, leaving the only treatment option a vaccine. If the pandemic is indeed so bad as we’re told, why wouldn’t we be excited about treatment options that have been shown to work? Why are we not giving mainstream media platforms to doctors and scientists who are urging governments to these well studied treatments? As more and more people witness denial or censorship of these options, they begin to turn to conspiracy because they cannot understand why they are being told there is a deadly disease all while being told we can’t use treatments that aren’t a vaccine.
Then as we see measures on people’s freedoms increase, the emotions fly as people don’t feel heard in raising questions in the overall narrative.
What Happened:
Germany also will now require travellers to present a negative COVID test for entry into the country.
Why It Matters:
Greater surveillance and measures are coming in ways we likely could have only imagined in sci-fi movies. While humans can sometimes be reluctant to change, that at first sounds bad, but ends up being good later on. When it comes to much of the COVID measures we’ve seen, I’m not sure people want to get comfortable with what’s being presented. While the promises of a return to normal are there, the goalpost seems to always be pushed, while other ‘experts’ claim normal will never be seen again.
What happens in one major city in the world tends to be a case study for what might come to other cities around the world. This can actually be a very positive thing when testing out new ideas, but in the case of COVID measures, people are feeling that a tested measure in one country means a loss of freedom in their own in a few weeks to come. This reveals that people don’t want a loss to their freedoms, which is normal, so the question we must come back to: is the danger of the virus or threat to our systems worth the measures we’re taking? A big question of course. But even bigger might be, if the systems are at such a threat, perhaps the systems are not resilient and haven’t been for a long time. After all, can we really say that ‘normal’ was creating a thriving and healthy world? I personally don’t think so.
Those that feel the virus presents a serious danger might ask, shouldn’t we be giving up our freedoms for the safety of all people? And this is where the frustration begins between differing perspectives as not all of us have heard the same information about COVID and thus see it as something different. We don’t have an agreed upon set of facts about things PCR testing, asymptomatic spread of COVID, treatments for COVID-19 and so on. – this is the case not just with everyday citizens but with experts also.
About The Auhtor
It’s funny, I have a tough time calling myself a ‘journalist,’ perhaps it’s just one of the hats I wear. Deep down I get a lot out of connecting our individual and collective narratives to world events. Why do we create the world the way it is? What does that tell us about how we can change our world? I founded CE in 2009 as I love inspiring people to make lasting shifts in their individual consciousness, which sets conditions for deep meaningful change in our world. Part of that story though, is looking at current events and asking big questions, which is where that ‘journalist’ hat comes in. I’ve been inspired to set forth a new style of media, something you might call ‘transformative media’ or ‘conscious media.’ It’s media that tells stories without polarity and division. That digs to the ‘truth’ and isn’t afraid to look, and that helps viewers make change in their lives as a result of what they see. It keeps in mine physiological regulation and how difficult it can be for people to change their beliefs as well. I believe humans can make meaningful changes in themselves and in our world faster than we give ourselves credit for, and believe it’s a holistic effort to make this happen. Oh, I like living in nature, ave 3 cats and 3 alpacas. I experience my life with 1 female human as well.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
