The Omicron Deception


Nothing about the reaction to this Omicron variant makes sense. Let's start with why the WHO decided to skip the next two Greek letters. To be honest, I don't recall any other variant names than Delta, so I'm obviously uninformed. Apparently, though, there have been enough COVID variants to go through a dozen letters of the Greek alphabet. The next two letters were Nu and Xi, which were bypassed in favor of Omicron, the fifteenth letter. According to the WHO, the letter Nu sounded too much like the English word "new," and the letter Xi is a common Chinese surname. This doesn't pass the smell test, as Xi is not that common a surname, ranking 296th in most common Chinese family names, and the distinction of a variant called Nu would soon be overshadowed by successive, newer variants.

No, the more likely explanation is that there is one very important person in China that has the surname Xi, and that is the leader of the Chinese Communist Party. He doesn't want his name attached to any variant of the virus that his nation unleashed on the world, and the WHO subserviently complied. As for the letter Nu, I suspect that the bureaucrats at the WHO thought that wouldn't be scary enough to justify their calls for more autocratic policies, in the name of "public health." They correctly thought that calling a new variant "Nu" would just make people think "another new one?" This would make resistance to their authority stronger.

The decision to call this new, weak variant "Omicron" was easy, and it had the desired effect. Nations around the globe have tried to reinstate the harshest, and least effective policies that destroyed their economies in 2020, only to find that the public wasn't going to comply. In the US, the divergence is at the state level, with NY's new Gov. Hochul repeating Gov. Cuomo's mistake of closing hospitals to elective patients, before any cases of Omicron, to Florida, where Gov. DeSantis has forbid employment discrimination regarding vaccination status, with still NO cases of Omicron.

The latest news is that five states have reported Omicron cases. Again, if I don't even recall more than half of the previous variants that have worked their way through various populations, what is so deadly about Omicron? NOTHING, apparently. That is why I have no hesitation to call all of the various government reactions, both in the US and around the world, as the Great Omicron Deception. We're being played for fools, folks, and if you don't stand up and push back, you are a puppet of power hungry politicians and bureaucrats.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta
