If you thought the worst screenplay you’d have to endure this winter was anything written by a Wachowski sister, boy howdy are you wrong.
A couple of weeks ago I told you that Davos’ Last Stand bombed at the box office. Well, now I’m here to tell you that as bad as that movie’s opening weekend was, just wait for the resurrection of it later this year because they filmed the sequel, Omicron 2: COVID Boogaflu, at the same time.
And it’s coming this spring.
The problem for Bidenwood is Omicron spreads quickly but doesn’t hit nearly as hard as the original virus, or even the recent Delta variant.
After the early data came in, they realized this will be the last film in the series. So, they have one last chance to concoct a story they can use for the midterms.
Can’t let the opportunity of one last COVID wave go to waste can we?
Because these are people too incompetent at dealing with the actual problem and have pivoted completely to pure politics.
So, over the past few days we’ve seen a spate of about faces by the Biden administration and the Davos quislings with regards to COVID-19 and its offspring.
To which I’ll add the CDC just sunsetted the use of the PCR test as valid means for detecting Omicron because it can’t select between it and the flu. So it would seem all of this is finally over and that by the summer we can expect these terrible writers to move onto their next straight-to-streaming monstrosity.
The initial reaction to these announcements has been a little too much high-fiving and victory-lap dancing from the ‘right.’
Because here’s the thing. Do you think they don’t know all of this about Omicron’s transmissibility and severity?
Let’s run a few numbers for the sake of argument. Let’s assume Omicron is 20 times more transmissible but just one-tenth as severe. And severity is defined as requiring hospitalization.
With the speed at which this thing is ripping through the population, even millions of mild cases will still result in hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations over a short period of time. Because the rate of transmissibility will create a swell in hospitalizations that is just a function of math.
I’m not saying the numbers I have here are right. That’s not the point of the exercise. The point is that even if you crush the severity down by a factor of twenty over Delta, it’s still a lot of strain on any state’s medical system.
So spare me the idea that President Depends and Peppermint Psaki woke up yesterday and had a flirtation with being compassionate humans. No, these people are full-blown political animals who turned on a dime for a reason.
My numbers are likely wrong but you know who has the real numbers? Yup. The Bidenwood screenwriters.
So, the CDC lowers the quarantine period for health care workers down to five days so asymptomatic health care workers can go back to work as the new wave of hospitalizations happens and Biden throws it back to the states to deal with.
Then we find out from the Florida Surgeon General that the Biden administration is “actively preventing” distribution of Regeneron monoclonal antibodies, holding up shipments to Florida.
This is the end of Act I.
In Acts II and III we will be treated to some of the laziest writing in the history of American political cinema.
Act II will start silently, no more daily case counts because of the CDC invalidating the PCR test and everything seemingly returns to normal. During that time you can expect guys like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to gloat publicly over beating COVID by supporting freedom.
Then at the mid-point turn, hospitalizations run wild as the law of large numbers takes over and the same cohorts of people vulnerable to the flu are found quickly by Omicron. It spreads throughout the U.S. quickly possibly overwhelming some hospitals, especially in the places where there aren’t health care workers because they were all fired for not getting the clot-shot.
And guess who will get the blame for all of it? Their Public Enemy #1, the man who at this point is the biggest threat to the Biden administration as well as what’s left of the COVID phase to bankrupt the world known as the Great Reset….
Yup. Governor Ron DeSantis.
The messaging will all be for weeks to come, “We would have licked this thing if it wasn’t for DeSantis allowing it to incubate in Florida. The States did a terrible job containing this thing and now we’re all suffering for it.”
After that comes the worst Act III in history as Biden tries to swoop in on a Huey lobbing missiles at the Red States to take credit for the natural burnout of Omicron and ending COVID-9/11’s threat to humanity.
Expect a big grandstanding speech written by Aaron Sorkin about serving the common good as the denouement to ensure millions take the blue pill and go back to sleep.
It may wind up being the worst screenplay since Young Einstein. Unfortunately, it’ll do enough box office to keep MSNBC in business.
But it’s coming to a screen near you.

Dear DeWine in Ohio says “We’re all gonna die!”
https://www.whio.com/news/coronavirus/dewine-hold-news-conference-wednesday-with-update-ohio-hospital-staffing-issues/N7HYN45MSRBGDHTXDIH7OADQVU/
Meanwhile I received 3 emails (at my workplace as an HR Rep and Safety Coordinator) in the same day from HHS; The first was about the “case count” of the moronic version being up by 11% in just a week! (woopty doo). The second was about the failed and discontinued PCR testing (never would get one because I knew how they worked from my days in nursing school). The third was the one about the “5 days quarantine, reduced from 10 days” with notes attached that it was because the original 10 days quarantine was “damaging our workforce”.
If other HR and safety personnel don’t look at those and laugh, we are in a world of hurt. All contradictory, each walking back what the prior one said.
HCQ & Invermectin have been actively withheld by the Brandon administration too-take your VAX shitheads! COVID 9/11 has long only been a political endeavor, I’m going to give DeSantis some credit and presume he’s still up to the task.
And Now – let’s move on to climate change. These evil bastards won’t give up because they can’t. They are as trapped as the Fed. Inflation, fuel crisis, food crisis next….GFC2….Reset CBDCs – and They own it all.
I’m off to South Africa in 2022 (Cape Town) – at least there the government are so incompetent they have no way of controlling their people. I was talking to a colleague who lives in Wilderness – up the Garden Route. he says many are moving there to get away from the cities which are slowly imploding.
All you need are solar panels, a bore hole, and a garden. Hunker down at let it go over your head.
An Australian immunilogist put me onto the blogvof Igor Chudov, who in turn links to Sirotkin of the big house.
Upshot – Omicron wont be the last variant, it is a benign way station on a road to something that will truly suck. Genetcally speaking, is mutating its way back towards the original Sars Cov 1 from 2003. That had a mortality of 10%. Coupled with all the trashed innate immune systems from mass vax , this is not good. If these guys are right, this will go on for 20 years and kill 200 million people, like the plagues of old. This will demolish the system as we know it.

…If an infection with Omicron is unlikely to make a patient severely ill but leaves some immunity in its wake, it could act as a “natural vaccine,” said Dr. Bruce Walker, an immunologist and founding director of the Ragon Institute in Cambridge, Mass.”… LaTimes…good news theory…
https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2021-12-17/could-omicron-variant-be-good-for-the-pandemic
My contact in China has suggested that Omicron is an anti-bioweapon from CCP against the original release – no verification but it makes sense as an hypothesis.
He says we are in covert biowar instigated, not by a government, but one of the secret rouge agencies like the CIA and I wouldn’t be surprised having read about the Dulles brothers in the books: ‘The Brothers’ and ‘The Devil’s Chessboard’
Except omicron doesn’t exist. Thus the “flu susceptible” will be quite safe and so will Governor Ron DeSantis. Whatever happens next will be the hastily adjusted phase 2 of the DAVOS plan, which will be increasing economic pain and chaos.
From a policy and narrative perspective it most certainly does. And that is all that matters. Facts dont matter to these people only the “facts” they can create and only when everyone reading my work gets this can we finally get past them and their gatekeepers
Another truth zinger.
Next, War in Europe…forget it. No ships, planes or dog sledges will make it across the Atlantic to reinforce Europe and “getting back in the fight.” No ocean big enough to hide a carrier battle group, (or whatever).
Winter arrives again ,Snives,coughs and colds. Its the flu season: move on.
DAVOS act IV….Astro coming, Wall Street floats IPO shovels.
President Brandon Address nation, “Every American gets a shovel.” Dem’s push for $20 trillion FDD bill. (FedDigsDeeper.)
hey you’ve got the same brand of ivermectin in the photo as I use! nice…

Of course, Bite-Me and the political crowd are going to scream that the sky is falling. Who is still listening to them?
I know, the TV outlets. But TV is rapidly going the way of FM radio. Most stations are closing / losing money, and a very small number of stations are syndicated all over the place in a vane hope of making money. That only works for a short time. A handful of (bad) radio stations now syndicate everywhere, but the vast majority of people listen to sirius or spotify or have a library of MP3 files. I would go so far as to say intelligent people have given up on FM (and advertisers leave too). Over the air TV is almost dead, and cable TV isn’t doing well either. Old people watch TV, but how many house fixer up repeats can one person watch? Young people play video games. The same thing is happening with national politics — the smart money is packing up and leaving, the younger population is thinking local not national.
Desantis is perfectly safe in FL. He isn’t stupid enough to want to go to Washington. The whole reason we got Clinton, baby Bush, Obama, Trump and the dementia patient is because no one good wants to keep company with the corruption and incompetence that is Washington DC. Each of these losers was viewed as the lesser evil in their election. Remember the 15 candidates that Trump defeated in primaries? The democrats had to split their primary debates over two nights to fit all the clowns — and they picked a scared dementia patient who literally hid in his basement.
The problem will be getting anyone competent (any party) to want to dirty themselves in Washington DC. Inability to attract good candidates has been a problem for several election cycles now, and its not getting better. No one in their right mind wants to get Washington DC stink on them.
The NIH/CDC have pretty much destroyed their credibility. IRS, FBI, FEMA, are corrupt in ineffective. Now, even the military is filled with incompetence and corruption — they couldn’t even execute a retreat from Afghanistan.
Large employers are belatedly realizing they have enough trouble attracting qualified candidates without the dementia patient’s mandate making it worse. Many companies (not all, but a growing number) are dropping the mandate. Those that don’t will attract low quality job candidates.
In the next 11 months (leading up to midterm elections) — look for lots more stories of myocarditis, brain clots and people who have 3 clot-shots still getting infected and transmitting. As more young people are tricked into getting the clot-shot, expect a *LOT* more heart problems. That will be the big story leading up to elections, and there is nothing big tech Silicon valley can do to cover it up.
Great perspective. I agree and second the motion to tell them GFY go #uk yourself.
Perhaps this is part of a natural evolution where Major Metropolitan Centers and the Federal Government have become totally and utterly useless. Tell me apart from Social Security what does the Federal Government do that benefits American Citizens. I have been thinking about this for a while and really cannot come up with anything. Its a total cluster #uk that I believe is beyond redemption. The Feds and the Cities will now likely cannibalize themselves. We just have to keep them away.
Historically, and whether it was fair / accurate or not, “Florida Man” was depicted as a toothless idiot who wrestled aligators barefoot. New Yorkers were depicted as intelligentia who cursed too much.
Lately, all the New Yorkers are claiming on TV that they support lock downs and forced shots. But they are vacationing, and increasingly MOVING, to Florida. Lockdowns for thee, not for me.
Lately, I have noticed that Florida Man is telling the arriving New Yorkers not to act like the morons they are back in NY. Bill boards are up all over Florida, telling visitors — and especially new residents — not to vote the way they did in NY / NJ / IL or else they will have to run away again.
The toothless alligator wrestling Florida Man is not hesitating to tell the New Yorkers how stupid they are and how they should go back to NY and enjoy the “paradise” they voted for. New Yorkers aren’t smart enough to wrestle an animal that evolved little in the last 50 million years — election machine levers are seemingly a challenge for NY.
The sad (or funny) thing here is that I left the theater in the middle of Act I. And I suspect millions of others have as well. Congress is a Jan. 6th clown show, the world’s premier law enforcement agency can’t find Ray Epps on his multi-million dollar ranch in Arizona & Biden repeats: “Lets go Brandon! I agree”.
And to top it all off, Russia Today is trolling Woke America, with a really hilarious Christmas video:
Russia Mocks Woke American Snowflakes With Christmas Diversity Guide
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-mocks-woke-american-snowflakes-christmas-diversity-guide
Since I have unplugged from corporate media, the only thing I really miss is not having a TV Guide. It would be great to come home from work and have a serious media line-up of trusted sources ready to go; individuals who stand by what they write and say: eg. : Glen Greenwald on Monday night, Tom Luongo of Tuesday night, etc. But I suppose that will eventually straighten itself out.
They all promised Biden would restore “normalcy to America”, but I really suspect that millions now miss the tranquil years of the Trump Era. I feel like Iraq won the Second Gulf War and Baghdad Bob is running the United States from the Babylon Bee.
I have been outraged and depressed over the last year, but now I find myself laughing at the ludicrousness of it all.
Tom, what happens when the Supreme Court approves the vaccine mandates in a few weeks? You gotta think that’s coming….
There are 84 cruise ships off the USA, each with 100% double shots across crew and passengers and negative test before sailing, that have positive testing passengers at sea.
How did a double shot crew and passengers get sick at sea, away from persons who did not get shots?
The USS Milwaukee, a US Navy destroyer, left port in early December. As per Biden’s orders, the crew is 100% double shot and most have booster shot. Per long standing procedures, the crew was confined to base and isolated for several days before boarding the ship. They were tested before boarding. Also per long standing procedures, all provisions were bought well in advance, screened and tested, and kept in navy warehouses for more than a week (this is done for all navy ships, and has been for decades). Twenty five crew (out of 134) tested positive while at sea, forcing the ship to quarantine in Guantamamo Bay.
Is there mass insubordination among a LOT of navy doctors and crew, claiming to have been double shot (and some boosters)?
Are we going back to medieval thinking, when diseases just spontaneously generate out of the mist?
Or are the shots only marginally effective?
Because if its the latter, the Supreme Court has to decide whether to step in the middle of a political debate, not a public health situation.
The court has bent over backwards to stay out of politics, and covid mandates have become 100% politics
Tom, you missed one earlier…
Twitter permanently banned mRNA inventor Dr Robert Malone today.

>Wachowski sister
Sarcastic or not, I don’t endorse using the preferred terminology of such obviously broken people.
Thanks. Worth the time to read. Small quibble:
“To which I’ll add the CDC just sunsetted the use of the PCR test as valid means for detecting Omicron because it can’t select between it and the flu.”
PCR, though ‘sunsetted,’ is still the best of a gaggle of terrible tools. Getting rid of PCR, folks naturally believe it will be replaced by a ‘better’ test. This has not and will not happen. PCR cannot differentiate among so-called ‘variants,’ nor Influenza-A or -B, nor even common cold agents. But the more one studies the nature of this test one realizes that it is so bad a diagnostic tool that it is not even possible to estimate HOW bad it is — that is, we can’t even approximate the margin of error for the test.
Which makes it a GREAT tool to engender a pandemic panic.
At least a half dozen very healthy, very fit professional tennis players have tested positive for covid in the weeks before the Aussi Tennis Open.
Most recently, a French tennis player (Benoit Paire) tested positive yet AGAIN — he tested positive before the US Open (and was prohibited from play), tested positive again in Germany a few weeks later… and now the clown show in Aussi-land say he tests positive. He has not had symptoms, he has not needed to go to the hospital. The tests are administered by WTP official doctors, and they are obviously wrong.
The world #1 seed, Novak Djokovic has said he will not get the shots and Aussis can go stuff it (actually he was far less polite). It looks like he is going to skip the Aussi tournament.
The Aussi Tennis open is going to be just a bunch of b-list players if the Aussi government doesn’t stop their nonsense. Will advertisers and sponsors pay as much money for a third rate tournament full of nobodies?
Meanwhile, European football players continue to suffer myocarditis as a result of covid shots. Like the tennis professionals, these are healthy athletes in peak physical condition. They are not sickly 70+ year old politicians
Tom..long time lurker but first time responding.Fuckin outstanding body of work you put out..I just read James Howard Kunstler,s essay from today and it is dare I say frightening.I cut trees down in the forests of Northern,Ontario,Canada but my interests are all about what you and others write about. I don,t know how to link to his article or I would have. Hold on tight and pass the popcorn..shit is getting real !

Fantastic quote from Carl Sagan
Philosophy is like standing in a dark room looking for a black cat.
Metaphysics is like standing in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn,t there. Theology is like standing in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn,t there and yelling ” I found it”.
Science is turning on the lights -Carl Sagan-
Before telescopes, science had no tools to search for exoplanets.
But they were there.
We have no tools with which to search for God.
We don’t even have a technology that can measure your affection for your pet tortoise.
Science is a useful tool, that’s all.
Let’s try not to make it a cult.
So what is it all about? What is the big picture? Wanna know, what a russian journalist thinks about it? Find his article translated in German here. You don´t speak German? Use deepl.com. It´s worth it!!
https://www.anti-spiegel.ru/2022/russische-analyse-durch-die-epidemie-in-das-gruene-paradies/
röper believes in viruses etc. although virology was refuted decades ago. i’m baffled he doesn’t see this now. apart from this excellent analysis
Tom, thanks for the Russian link. Google translate works just fine. Worthwhile history.
The Russian perspective is important. From the time Lenin took over in 1917 until Kruschev came on the scene and started loosening censorship and releasing people from the gulags, it was about 50 years. Lenin died and was unable to enact his NEP (New Economic Policy) which would have made Russia into something completely different and less brutal. Stalin’s move to industrialize the country started in the 1930’s where he forcibly moved peasants into collectives or the cities to the new industrial centers. Stalin believed in speed over people, whereas Lenin understood the human element. Many died under Stalin by saying the wrong thing to their neighbors. Article 58. So if we map this timeline to the present day, there could be a five decade period of disruption and death following a revolution, a revolution which I believe is happening now without guns, but through the vehicle of covid and technology. A new form of gulag is underway IMHO.
