Lost To The Birdemic

Lost to the birdemic.

Commenter Michelle used a phrase very similar to the one above in a response to my post from couple of days ago. It caught my eye immediately. Michelle had not employed the phrase to refer to anyone she had physically lost to the birdemic "crisis", but rather in reference to a close friend she had socially/spiritually lost to the fear and terror of the nearly year-long totalitarian birdemic campaign.

Lost to the birdemic. The expression made me pause and reflect for a moment. Limiting the loss of life has been the supposed motivation behind every birdemic measure our technocratic totalitarian overlords have implemented since spring.

Yet, this apparently noble goal to minimize the loss of human life hides within it a pretext - the overarching demonic goal of maximum soul damnation.

The apocalyptic loss of life to the birdemic the Establishment forecast to tyrannize the world into submission has not materialized (and likely never will). Unfortunately, the devastating loss of souls has likely surpassed the Father of Lies' wildest estimations.

And the campaign is nowhere near finished yet.

It is certainly amazing how many people are lost, or at least well on the way to being lost, to the birdemic. From the formerly precocious young child who'll now grow up to be a stupid version of Howard Hughes because he isn't learning anything at school and is made to see people as disease vectors instead of people, to the teen-aged suicide, to the former recovered addict who has now completely relapsed, to the formerly loving family torn apart after months of forced confinement, to those who, deprived of religious services for months, have lost their way, to the people in nursing homes whom we leave to go crazy from total deprivation of human contact. And those are just the big, obvious examples. There are many more far smaller or subtler examples, such as not having a human relationship with someone because you see a mask instead of a smile every day. You couldn't do a better job of destroying relationships between humans, and relationships between a human and God, if you tried.

I find it depressing thinking about it all because I don't really see any way that, collectively, we'll be able to come back from all of this. Not really sure what to do about it, but for now I'm just trying to focus on myself and my relations with others and with God; there isn't much else I can do.

@ Dynamic - Great comment. It really fleshes out was I was alluding to in the post.

As to the question of what we can and can't do, I find myself thinking a great deal about the difference between expediency and necessity. That is, the difference between what is easy but unnecessary and what is difficult but necessary. I hope to flesh this out in a future post. In the meantime, thanks again for the comment.

Ill second that - great comment from Dynamic.

The post is also good! That Lost phrase is another useful encapsulation.

"And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great" (Revelation 19:17-18).
