2020 - The Year of Lilith, Lilifluenza-in-Patsy/Patsie and the Yellowbellies

Marcellus Wallace: I think you're gonna find, when all this shit is over, I think you're gonna find yourself one smiling motherfucker. The thing is, Butch, right now you got ability. But painful as it may be, ability don't last. And your days are just about over. Now that's a hard motherfuckin' fact of life, but that's a fact of life your ass is gonna have to get realistic about. See, this business is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't. Besides, Butch, how many fights do you think you got in you anyhow? Two? Boxers don't have an Old Timers Place. You came close but you never made it. And if you were gonna make it, you would have made it before now. (holds out the envelope of cash to Butch, but just out of his reach) You're mine, dig? 

 

Butch: It certainly appears so. (takes the envelope)

LILIFLUENZA IN CHIEF

A literally de-yellowing Trump is joined in further humiliation by Boris Johnson as after having lost his precious Brexit special advisors (Dominic Cummings & Lee Cain) he has been forced into isolation again after meeting with MPs who were covid-positive.  Number 10 had been described as ''covid-secure'' but pictures emerged where masks were not worn and social distancing was not enforced - regardless of where you are on the political spectrum this is beginning to look like a special kind of stupid and more indication that Johnson will shortly be exiting stage right. But there were always two paths the Destruction Team could have followed to realise their ambitions with Lilifluenza - the right or the left wing.  Although they went with ''the left wing'' as the main ''activists'' in favour of lockdown I think that if Lilifluenza had been characterised as a biological terror threat from rogue Islamic states in the aftermath of the release of the same disease with biosecurity being ''a patriot's duty'' a viable right wing path to the same goal was possible. Whether 9/11 itself played into their decision making here, and they didn't want to overuse the right in enforcing corporate militarism - in the COVID ''9/11'' the ''left'' acted as thesis, the ''right'' provided the anti-thesis, and a synthesis is now emerging.  Problem-reaction-solution, opposition is controlled, etc, we all know that, but for some reason so many otherwise ''sensible conspiracy theorists'' were gulled by Johnson and Trump and they somehow forgot the First Rules of Conspiracy Fight Club.  The extent to which the act of ritual humiliating ''de-yellowing'' is now happening with the complicity of Johnson and Trump should probably be questioned.  These people are professional liars after all.  To misquote Mister Marsellus Wallace - ''In the fourth, your ass goes down''.

HERDING REINDEER

Sweden was always in a strong position when it came to the question of opening vs closing the economy as it has a much healthier, happier and more spread-out population compared to other countries.  For comparison the population density in Sweden is 25 per square kilometer vs 400 per square kilometer in England and the Swedes are at 7th position in most happiest countries vs 15th for the Brits.  During the Summer Sweden is blasted with sunlight and, already in place to counter Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) caused by the incredibly dark winters, Vitamin D is added to food directly.  On the other hand, struggling with similar variations in light level, 1 in 5 people in the UK are vitamin D deficient as well as being more obese, etc. The fundamental problem with the herd immunity approach, modelled by Sweden, and exaggerated by right wing voices across the political spectrum is the problem with reinfection.  As those with ears heard shortly after the pandemic came to West, but information which failed to reach the mainstream, evidence for reinfection was already surfacing in the first few months.  Although T-cell immunity confers some protection, antibody levels for this disease drop very rapidly in the months after recovery.  ''Herd immunity'' then will come in waves like the disease itself.  A mutant cold which has a 5% chance of killing people over the age of 70 and/or in risk groups every time you catch it is a serious illness which requires societal response.  I disagree with the lockdowns but I also disagree with starving your population of nutrition (education) and adequate healthcare.  Giving everyone Vit D (and other boosts) and massively improving care capacity could have been enough in the case of this particular disease, and far less expensive, but of course that would not have served the economic purposes of The Great Reset, or the need to create a biosecurity infrastructure in the face of CRISPR-edited or MDR diseases, or mitigating the effects of climate change.  This is why there was a need to create political argument and dissonance in the West - the Destruction Team did not want to solve the problem too quickly.

PLAGUE PATSIES

According to the Urban Dictionary there are two definitions of Patsy.  Apparently on the one hand ''Patsie is a selfish person who likes to use Jeremy Kyle to solve all their problems. She is loved by many but also despised by many.  She is of an unloving or uncaring nature who lets nothing get in her way and struggles to keep a committed relationship'' and on the other a Patsy is a person who is used a fall guy to cover a greater conspiracy. Ultimately it looks like our dear blond leaders - Trump and Johnson - were always intended to serve as ''Patsy Patsies'' for the demolition of Western society i.e. paragons of selfishness that we can all pin the blame on when this is over.  And it will be over, after the third wave, the disease will dissipate, but the infrastructure and policies it was used to justify will not.  I said, months ago, that the ''anti-maskers'' (inc. David Icke) were the ''reaction'' part of the problem-reaction-solution and that this was intensely war-gamed and influenced before it was launched.  Through a mixture of manipulation and complicity, Trump and Johnson (and the forces they represent on the right), have ended up laying the ground for the epidemiological whiplash that has so disfigured, literally, the West.  Both have untold skeletons in their closets and would have been susceptible to various acts of bribery/coercion that could have been used to maneuver them into this position willingly or otherwise. 

In the Fourth, their asses go down.

Marcellus: Night of the fight, you might feel a slight sting. That's pride fuckin' with you. Fuck pride! Pride only hurts, it never helps. You fight through that shit. 'Cause a year from now, when you kicking it in the Caribbean, you gonna say to yourself, "Marcellus Wallace was right."
Butch: I got no problem with that, Mr. Wallace.
Marcellus: In the 5th, your ass goes down. (Butch nods silently) Say it.
Butch: In the 5th, my ass goes down.
