2023 Prediction: Collapse, Part One, COVID Edition

I usually do a year-end post with predictions of the next year, and this is going to be one of them.

Factually, however, there does appear only to be one prediction I can make, with good conscience:

2023 will be a transformational year in this society.  Whatever damage 2020 did to the society, 2023 finishes off.  I do not believe the country will survive 2023 in much the same way it will start it next Sunday.

There's several different ways this, IMODO, will manifest itself.  This post will look at the COVID situation.

Let's put some things on the table right now:

1) We have to lost to COVID.  The freedom-loving purebloods have successfully won.  Hence, they will get their kill-off that they desired this virus to do for them in 2020.

There is no real point in continuing to vaccinate.  I'm really sorry to have to tell people this.  The fact of the matter is, however, that we have one of four scenarios:

• COVID is real and the vaccines have failed of their own merit.
• COVID is real and the vaccines have failed because of the deliberate non-cooperation of about 35% of this country (which is the position I am taking) -- leading to atypical mutation of the virus because we will never reach herd immunity.
• COVID may be real, but the vaccines are doing "the work" (this is the position of the "Died Suddenly" crowd)
• or, as a subset of this, COVID doesn't exist at all.  (In which case, may God be with you all and we are truly done!)

Whatever the reason, we will not get control of this thing if COVID exists -- and, if it doesn't, then the concept of a grand scheme to eliminate mass swaths of the population will truly finish us off, one way or the other.

Any hope of actually defeating COVID needs to be put to rest, and this means millions of Americans -- yes, MILLIONS -- will die to this.

Just as the right-wing "purebloods" wanted from Day One.  (More on that later...)

2) Because I would now put the estimate of COVID deaths at somewhere in the range of 7-10 million.

This is a combination of continuing surveys (including one the CDC reported ten days ago to say this is the case extends to children) that 90% or over 90% of the American population have now had one or more bouts with COVID-19, as well as more and more people coming up with dislocative statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to basically play "hide the sausage" with several million former seekers of jobs.

(For the record:  The only reason I do not believe I have had it at least twice is a contact of mine who believes she may catch basically anything out there, who believes would've caught it if I did...  If I did, my first round of it would've been very early:  January of 2020.)

It is now clear, as I said three years ago when I started to see this news in China (before I was banned twice from commenting on a fascist-conservative economic blog) that no one wants to confront the true toll from this -- realizing that if the word got out, you'd have unrest on a massive level to begin with.

Here's a thought to the "Died Suddenly" crowd:  If you remember (or were paying attention) back before the virus hit the States, there were many stories of people collapsing and dying suddenly in China.  This is what actually started scaring people to bits, leading to the immediate flash erection of hospital areas throughout the Wuhan area.

To basically pretzel-logic themselves, some of the "Died Suddenly" crowd believe a second virus, with a 60% kill rate (!!), was in China at the time but stayed there...

Worse, however, is the following thought:

3) The "freedom-loving purebloods" openly desired a way to eliminate the "useless eaters" of this country -- and COVID gives them an out without firing a shot!

COVID is a Republican's dream.  To a Libertarian, many times so!

It didn't take long, when the "co-morbidity" reports came out, to understand that this thing was literally a lottery ticket for Conservative thinking:

Fat?  See ya.

Diabetes?  Bye.

HIV/AIDS?  Do I dare need to go there?

Birth defects??  Finally a way to dispose of that "problem"...

4) The right-wingers are half-right on one and only one fact:  This is COVID, or this is the vaccines.

There is no material third option.

None.

Either COVID has killed (through either direct, or, as I suspect, indirect/"long COVID" effects) far more people than I think anyone is willing to admit, or we do have a situation where the vaccines are the problem -- but that leads to three immediate and immutable outcomes:

• The concept of vaccination, especially forced vaccination (which see measles, diptheria, whooping cough, etc. to get a kid to be allowed in school) would be an immediate nullity.  Because the same argument can be given that they try to taunt us with on COVID:  Why would someone who caught these diseases be a problem to other students who are vaccinated?   
• The entire economy collapses, first to go would be the entire health-care industry -- as Libertarian "Died Suddenly" advocate Karl Denninger puts it, in that situation:  "In fact it could very easily render a hospital a literal place where you only go to die because if you're sick and go in there, with the concentration of all-jabbed staff, the odds are overwhelming they're going to give you something and if you can't handle that you're dead."
• Either through direct or indirect means, the Deagel prediction of a 70% USA kill-off occurs.

For those who do not know of the last part:  The Deagel Group is a foreign-interred US-based intelligence group, one of many shadow secretive groups whose task is to "go there" and talk about that "which should not be talked about in polite company".

In 2016, they dropped a bombshell:  That the population of the United States of America would drop to 54 million by 2025.

Over the course of the last six years, that number of doubled to about 100 million.

However, there is one very real scary part to this:  2025 is now only about 24 months away!!!

And 100ish million would be about all that is left if the wishes and prayers of the purebloods are answered and the rest of us are killed off...

And that's just one factor of how far down I believe we are about to go in the next 12 months!
