This article is about three weeks old. #Canada killed the first man via the Medical Assistance in Dying ( #MAiD) program. That acronym is similar to iPhone. It's clearly a depopulation agenda.

#Quote Canada has just killed the first citizen under the Canadian government’s controversial new plans to begin #euthanizing #patients who have been injured by Covid “vaccines.”

An Ontario man in his late 40s has become the first person to be #euthanized for “ #post- #COVID-19 #vaccination #syndrome.”

The man was killed under Canada’s “assisted suicide” laws via the #government’s taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.

Doctors had determined that the patient had become a #burden on the socialized #healthcare #system.

They #warned that he wouldn’t recover from “ #post-vaccine #syndrome” and ruled that MAiD was a better option than long-term care.

The patient, identified only as “Mr. A,” had experienced “suffering and functional decline” following three #Covid #mRNA #vaccinations.

The doctors said the patient was suffering from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and personality disorders as a result of the “post-vaccine syndrome.”

The man was twice admitted to hospital, once involuntarily, due to his condition.

Doctors noted that the patient had “thoughts of suicide” while “navigating his physical symptoms.”

The anonymized case is one of several highlighted in a series of reports issued by a 16-member MAiD death review committee struck by Ontario’s chief coroner’s office in January.

“Amongst his multiple specialists, no unifying diagnosis was confirmed,” according to the report.

However, his MAID assessors “opined that the most reasonable diagnosis for Mr. A’s clinical presentation (severe functional decline) was a post-vaccine syndrome, in keeping with chronic fatigue syndrome.”

Yet, there were no “pathological findings” at a post-mortem that could identify any underlying physiological diagnosis, the report notes.

Despite agreeing that the man’s condition was caused by a vaccine injury, multiple specialists consulted before his death couldn’t agree on a diagnosis.

The lack of a clear diagnosis raises further questions as to whether the man’s condition met the criteria for an “irremediable,” meaning a hopeless, incurable condition.

However, Canada’s assisted dying law requires people to have a grievous and irremediable physical condition.

Psychiatric experts raised concerns about whether the man’s mental illnesses would or should have rendered him ineligible for MAiD.

Some members of the MAiD death review panel also questioned whether a condition “previously unrecognized in medicine” — namely, a possible “post-vaccine somatic (meaning affecting the body) syndrome” — could be considered incurable.

Canada’s rapidly expanding euthanasia industry has been a growing concern for some time.

The Canadian government first introduced MAiD in June 2016.

By relaxing the laws, the nation legalized assisted suicide for those whose death was reasonably foreseeable.

The MAiD program was supposed to offer an alternative option for terminally ill people so they could avoid a painful death and die with dignity.

However, the nation’s Liberal government has increasingly expanded the laws since 2016.

Today, the Canadian government is euthanizing citizens for #depression, #hearing-loss, #autism, and even #poverty and #homelessness.

The government is even pushing to expand euthanasia laws to include #children and #infants.

What started as an option for terminally ill people is now being used to eliminate those who have become a burden on the nation’s socialized healthcare system.

The recent MAiD death review committee report highlights another case involving a different unemployed male in his 40s with inflammatory bowel disease.

The man was living with few social supports, was dependent on family for housing and financial support, and had struggled with alcohol and opioid addictions.

From the author of _Neuro Tribes, Steve Silberman, a strong endorsement of this NYT Opinion piece/Guest Essay_

My Son and Gus Walz Deserve a Champion Like Tim Walz

Incandescently brilliant piece by Tina Brown on her autistic son and Gus Walz. We must BURY Trump and Vance at the ballot box and shovel dirt down the throat of the zombie corpse of the former Republican party. Please spread this gift link.

I hadn't noticed how Fox & Fiends were apparently ridiculing a proud, exhuberant son, #TrumpVirus style - pure ignorance & disrespect. Then I saw the reports, not surprising but a reminder of the hate & #disinformation spreading #GQP #media can be.

Autism Tsunami: The Cost of the Aging Autism Population

Big Pharma Sees Dollar Signs in Autism #Treatment
The global autism treatment market is expected to reach $11.42 billion by 2028, up from $9.01 billion in 2021.14 James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., author of “The Environmental and Genetic Causes of Autism,” told Children’s Health Defense:15

“For decades, the increase in autism was denied, and any discussion of the treatment of autism was met with the same derisive forces that would malign and mischaracterize the parents and physicians trying to give these kids a better day.

Now that Pharma has recognized the scale of the clinical population of people on the spectrum and is charting a translational path toward their profits, it’s finally considered OK to admit the increase and to rush headlong into treatment programs. I say to the parents of kids with autism, and to adults with autism: Beware Pharma.”

Yet, many people with autism end up on a cocktail of drugs, oftentimes unnecessarily. Among children with autism, 1 in 6 are taking antipsychotic drugs, for instance.16 Tommey said:17

“Before you know it, you’ve got this whole cocktail of drugs that do not work. It is not sustainable to have that many drugs in you and survive. They’re seeing it as a money-making opportunity. It is a huge, #barbaric #money-making #machine … and somehow we’ve got to stop this.

It is everybody’s problem what we have done to these adults … with autism and what the future is going to hold. It’s going to be a really desperate situation. It already is a desperate situation, but it’s going to get a lot worse.”

The boss man came up tonight to help me out with a light issue. I said "wow, what a moustache, you should be serving coffee in Melbourne." He was polite regardless. Later, during my autistic replay of the whole interaction it occurred to me that 'you have a moustache worthy of a barista ' might not be the compliment I thought it was. My Footscray infused life. Heh.

I'm returning home in the morning to a place where I can be my super freak self and the weirder the better, as it all adds to local colour.

I've had a great time here. I always love the bush I just still don't know where I really belong.

And I've yet to meet people I can really jive with, but the lady chef here came pretty bloody close. Trust a Punjabi Sikh to be that cool 😎

Wolf Grid is an OpenSim World With AI Integration and Other Innovations

Avatar dressed in a black jacket and pants, with a dark red shirt. He has long grey hair and is smoking a pipe. Behind him is a hobbit like scene with lots of green trees and red brick home with white smoke emitted from the chimney. In front of the house a blacksmith is working at a fire. In the foreground are lots of colourful bushes and flowers.
Seems this virtual world is only 3 years old, but it already has a landmass larger than Second Life’s. The reason could also be that land is cheaper than Second Life and there is the assistance of AI for generating the landscapes versus Second Life which is more manually done. Its land parcels are also a lot larger, so there is a lot more to explore in each area you end up in.

At first glance it really looks very similar and in fact you can use the same viewer. Just note, you cannot use the dedicated Second Life viewer for Phoenix Firestorm, you need to use the OpenSim version.

I’d certainly say though that Second Life’s destination guide is way more complete and interesting. Yet when I found Hobbiton I must say it was perfectly beautiful to be in. The Avatars are dressed in mesh objects so have lots of detail and movement.

The speech-to-text (and vice versa) technology isn’t simply intended as cool tech, but to benefit the entire user community: “I have autism,” Lone explains, “and I find it easier to communicate in a virtual world than real because there are no facial expressions to get wrong. We have quite a few autistic people here, and one of the goals of this grid is to be as inclusive as possible. So that’s why we built the voice recognition and text to speech.”

They are already profitable (from only 95 landowners) so this at least means they should be around for a while. They make their money from “renting out the land” and from merchants who sell goods.

This actually makes sense as #PTSD is about the lack of social support after a traumatic event A) someone on the #spectrum is much more likely to feel alone in general and therefore will feel like they are suffering alone and B ) the average person will not understand why something a person on spectrum found traumatic is traumatic and therefore dismiss and diminish it, often belittling them for being a wimp. I've found a few triggers here and there but never viewed myself as having PTSD, however looking back on my days prior to college I can see how many of my reactions to stress were hyperfragile. I would just cripple at stresses that were nothing to the average person.
There are serious breakthroughs in the treatment of PTSD with #MDMA , which allows the brain to feel positive emotions on the level of a normal person, #ketamine , which allows the mind to dissociate the emotions from the trauma to help them reframe it in a much less emotionally crippling way and #Psilocybin mushrooms which causes the brain to become hyper-plastic, a person with PTSD has hyper-crystalline memory at the level of an elderly person which makes it hard to change the way one thinks.
I never used MDMA or ketamine but I have used #shrooms 3-4 times in my life and look back that is around the time my life and confidence began to improve. Mind you at the time a LOT of changes were happening including my use of #self-hypnosis , so I can't say for certain if the shrooms helped or not. Luckily its impossible to become addicted to shrooms because they are so overwhelming you want quite a break between them except for maybe #microdosing .
However I would love now to try MDMA and ketamine therapy with a trained #psychologist and see if some of my other issues such as long term #depression which drives my #ADHD which I unknowingly use as a tool to distract myself from depression. Ketamine probably will not be nearly as useful for me as MDMA as I have in fact, possibly because of my #autism, been able to emotionally disconnect from bad memories and reframe them, but I'd be willing to try with qualified therapist if they believe it might help.
That said, John Oliver has recently done an episode showing that due to the severe shortage of licensed therapists, and the way drug/insurance companies fund things, only the rich or upper middle class may have access to these treatments while the poor who have some of the most trauma that often keeps them poor, will be left without this kind of treatment. This will lead many to self-medicate illegally which in the case of MDMA and ketamine can lead to addictions if not dosed properly, and without the therapist engaging in talk therapy, will only give a fraction of the possible benefits.

The command centre.

Three drinks: check.

Stim toys and the geekosphere: check

Plants... Oh look the peperomia prostrata is flowering! Did you know that they're a magnolid and evolved during the Cretaceous, so less string of turtles and more string of pinacosausus...

Yeah and somehow it took fifty years to get diagnosed. It's not that all us snowflakes are trying to be autistic these days, Martin, we were there when you were beating us up for reading books. What's the harm in giving a little kid a bit more low key environment? If your kid has to go to school in a sensory war zone that's a problem, not something a kid should have to try to toughen up to survive.

Here for the generations of divergents coming up.

Autism: Self Diagnosis

Autism and anarchy: Self-diagnosis

In general, all the forms that autistic and ADHD people must fill out to get a diagnosis are rather like someone with a broken leg being asked to jump over a garden wall in order to get into a hospital bed. The system lacks a basis in objective observation, and it is also burdening those seeking care in a way that shows it doesn’t understand what autistic people go through.

This! So much this!
