Stockholm
Welcome to Stockholm!
Random thoughts…
It has been about a year since masking and lockdowns began. It will only last 2 weeks to break the transmission of the DEADLY virus. RIGHT?? It is just for now, not forever!… and here we are a year later still basically locked down. True THEY are lightening the restrictions but are ready to clamp down again WHEN there is another wave OR when the program/virus mutates.
A friend of the group has a relative who was put in a nursing home / long tern care facility a few months prior to the release of the virus. The family was able to visit before the lock down started. Then the lock down started… While they were able to call on the phone often and did make use of video conferencing for many months, it is NOT the same as face to face visits. After 6 months of ‘solitary confinement’ er ahhhh I mean medical protective isolation it takes a toll on people. Last month the patient in the nursing home had quit eating and drinking. The family was gathered to say their good byes as she was expected to die soon. The family was ALLOWED to visit as a group face to face with the patient for most of the day. How nice of the facility to allow contact! During the visit she started feeling hungry and started eating and drinking again because the family was there and what do you do at social events? You eat. The family continued to vist over the next few days. Her condition improved so much that she was ‘out of the danger zone’ and continued to get stronger. While this is a good thing, the facility decided that because she was not going to die soon that she was healthy enough to lock her back down and bar the family from face to face contact. Back to medical protective isolation. SMH So, how many have died this last year because they gave up hope? How many died of loneliness? Hummm what does this have to do with history [if anything]? Kinda reminds one of the 1930s.
Insurance may not cover your death IF it was from an experimental drug ie the human mal-ware program 19 vaccine. There have been some reports [unconfirmed by me, do your own research and let us know what you find out] that death benefits have been withheld to some families over this.
Recently a group of citizens lead by an MD, filed a civil rights suite against several in state government over the mask mandate and lock downs. Will see how that pans out. ********web site*********** miracles do happen as the governor has decided to lift the mask mandate next week and businesses are now headed to being normalized.
So to recap the last year or so, this disease was noticed, the press whipped up concern, governments around the world locked everything down [took away most of our liberties and isolated us for our own good] and now are slowly giving us stuff back. BUT reminding us that THEY can lock us all down again when the disease numbers spike! This is sounding familiar to me from history.
Stockholm syndrome ***the following was excerpted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
*** Stockholm syndrome is a condition in which hostages develop a psychological bond with their captors during captivity.[1] Emotional bonds may be formed between captors and captives, during intimate time together, but these are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Stockholm syndrome has never been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM, the standard tool for diagnostic of psychiatric illnesses and disorders, mainly due to the lack of a consistent body of academic research.[2][3][4] The syndrome is rare: according to data from the FBI about 5% of hostage victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.[5]
This term was first used by the media in 1973 when four hostages were taken during a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden. The hostages defended their captors after being released and would not agree to testify in court against them.[2] It was noted that in this case, however, the police were perceived to have acted with little care for the hostages’ safety,[6] providing an alternative reason for their unwillingness to testify. Stockholm syndrome is paradoxical because the sympathetic sentiments that captives feel towards their captors are the opposite of the fear and disdain which an onlooker might feel towards the captors. ***
Well established examples of Stockholm syndrome … military basic training they break you down to rebuild you. Btw this is an example of a good thing as it gets you to be able to do more than you thought you could.
What other examples of Stockholm syndrome can you come up with?
