I'm beginning to lose my way here ... will somebody who knows Gadianton well tell me whether this and his previous posts are exercises in irony?
Chap

I know Gad extremely well (He is my neighbor's live-in nanny - I just had a delightful lunch with him last week - tuna on rye) and I can assure you that he is being deadly serious. No irony. None!
So he believes that the government is implanting tracking devices in his blood? And that Vitamin D can in some way frustrate such devices? However, I recall that at an early stage of the pandemic he became highly indignant when I suggested that he seemed to be discounting the need to practise recommended hygienic precautions.

Something here does not add up.

Vitamin D supplements …
Gad runs a hedge fund heavily invested in supplement manufacturers. His portfolio is up 1742% this year, and he’s feeling a tad guilty about it.

Yes! This is precisely what Gad believes - And it's not just blood, he believes the government is secretly plating tracking devices in rolls of duct tape.
And that Vitamin D can in some way frustrate such devices?
He believes that vitamin D (as well as large doses of granulated sugar) can provide a barrier to these tracking devices. He told me that he takes vitamin D and granulated sugar every other day and double doses on Saturday's.
However, I recall that at an early stage of the pandemic he became highly indignant when I suggested that he seemed to be discounting the need to practise recommended hygienic precautions.
This doesn't surprise me one bit - Gad not only displays highly indignant moments, he has no concept of hygiene. Simply put, he's dirty from head to toe.

The second part of the plan comes next week, when the CDC will mandate that all citizens ditch their masks in favor of using duct tape, instead.

Once we’re all taped up, no one can complain about anything and the Government will know where all of us are, all of the time. Total Complacency will be achieved.

You'll never know. She almost never shows her hand unless it's a horse race.

While the present monarch is in place, I give daily thanks that I have been spared seeing various superannuated and unsavoury politicians running to be elected as head of state at regular intervals. It's been a question of 'Always keep a hold of nurse / For fear of finding something worse'.

After she's gone, all bets are off. I do not exclude a powerless and almost purely ceremonial elected president along the Irish or Israeli model as a replacement for the entire regal institution.

Sure, but that’s where the physical reality of the outside world - independent of your own internal constructed reality - decides what it wants to do with you regardless. If the virus is going to kill you, then your own assumptions of your survival chances when you meet up with it are somewhat meaningless.
For those who live without God in this world fear can be paralyzing.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Nobody lives without God in this world. Nobody! - they might not believe or they might have doubts but...... (Just wanted to set the board's record straight.) :)
