There’s an old Yiddish proverb that my late mother would cite on occasion:
Don’t Open Your Mouth to the Devil.
Whether you call it jinxing yourself, or tempting fate, or whatever, the message is clear – to not boast or brag overly. So, in a movie line, character Ian Malcolm (actor: Jeff Goldblum) is famous for this line, among others of course, and it’s a short clip which I’ve incorporated into several essays:
Jurassic Park – Boy, do I hate being right all the time.
From January 2022:
The Next Pandemic – Granite Grok
AND NOW?
Am I opening my mouth to the Devil by claiming to be right… again?
Let’s hope it doesn’t come here
We have a Marburg outbreak that is causing people all sorts of concern. Not a crisis, but… fits rather well with my predictive observations & data collection from just over a year ago.
IMHO we got lucky in 2021. And lookie here. A vaccine for Marburg undergoing trials with some successes:
More on that:
They’re Readying a Vaccine for a Marburg Virus Pandemic (independentsentinel.com)
And doubtless, if it breaks out, to be released globally under an Emergency Use Authorization. Doubtless also an mRNA thing. The crisis being discussed here:
WHO to hold emergency meeting on E.Guinea Marburg outbreak – Insider Paper
They’ll push mRNA into you. One way or another. The fear porn campaign is doubtless being planned. And I very much believe it’s going to come down to return shots.
I fear I’m right on the avalanche-in-general starting for real as well.

Understand – I want to be wrong on this. I really do. But we’re seeing converging downturns. And things will fall apart.

I WANT TO BE WRONG
There’s a scene in the book Red Storm Rising when one of the main characters is on the deck of an aircraft carrier, staring at the stars as WWIII is about to kick off, and an enlisted sailor asks “When’s it gonna start, sir”? The one word answer? “Soon”.
I want to be wrong here. I desperately want to be wrong here. But I look at my track record, I look at things happening around the world all leading to chaos, starvation, and mass death, and think…
Soon.
Hashem, let me wrong on this.
