Q: Any predictions for 2022 (2020.2)?
Comment on Covid or any other aspect of the coming new year?
Death. Lots of death.
icnif77:
Yeah, but that ain't a prediction ...
All Earth's living creatures die ... in the end. 
In all fairness, you should return 2 pints you scored with this answer ... 
Just IMO!
Depending on what truly happens with the new Omni virus, I have heard that China may consider opening up sometime in April. As I see this as more of a political pandemic than a health pandemic, I am hopeful that things begin to open up allowing free movement without restrictions at some point.
As for other predictions, I would love to see the Tennessee Titans get into the Super Bowl, the St. Louis Cardinals have a strong run to the World Series, and new life adventures with work and travel.

Canada calls for ‘united front’ against China
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has urged Western “capitalist democracies” to band together to prevent Beijing from taking advantage of their infighting over the profits from China’s growing markets.
LloydinYibin:
that was a photo op. he also had to say something because the major western powers are no longer sharing military info with canada and distrust trudeau
It will come out much more on this front ..., i.e. EU is getting involved in SCS international disputes ...
China’s message is clear: ‘If you hit us, we’ll hit back harder’
The economic and diplomatic crackdown by Beijing on a small EU country demonstrates how tough it is willing to be against those who defy it over Taiwan.
One of the most notable political dramas of 2021 has been China's showdown with Lithuania. Following the Baltic country's declaration that it would open a “Taiwan representative office” in its country, Beijing denounced it as a violation of its One China policy, specifically over the use of the word Taiwan as opposed to Taipei – which it usually tolerates.
Beijing made it clear that the move was not acceptable, and proceeded to downgrade its ties with the country not once, but twice, expelling its ambassador, a number of diplomats, and reducing relations to a charge d'affaires level.
" ... Lithuania ... is one of three Baltic states and lies on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. Lithuania shares land borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia to the southwest. Lithuania covers an area of 65,300 km2 (25,200 sq mi), with a population of 2.8 million. Its capital and largest city is Vilnius; other major cities are Kaunas and Klaipėda. Lithuanians belong to the ethno-linguistic group of the Balts and speak Lithuanian, one of only a few living Baltic languages.
Dalian, the 2nd largest city in Liaoning province is roughly 10-times bigger than the whole state of Lithuania ..., i.e. DON'T you MESS with Chino ... one-state-policy ...
Death. Lots of death.

Russia’s tough new rules for foreign workers
A new law that comes into force this week will see virtually all foreigners living in Russia, even young children, required to take a battery of tests on a regular basis to avoid falling foul of the immigration authorities, in a move unprecedented virtually anywhere in the world. Under the rules, which take effect from Wednesday, foreign nationals must submit a quarterly health certificate that proves they aren’t suffering from communicable diseases or taking drugs.

MON DEC 27, AT 2:35 PM
Stiggs:
Russia was always high on my list of places I couldn't see myself going to, it just got bumped even higher up the list.
icnif77:
Yeah, there's not much going on in Russia. Few supermarkets and malls and that's it in the city of some 100k residents.
It might be different, if you're loaded, but for the regular crowd is very boring ... and cold. I hate cold!
I went there just to pay respect 'cause Vlad saved 'Up-Yours' in 2013, he he ... and I exited after some 6-months of stay.
English teaching market is wide open though. Russians suck at English because all English speech on the teli, movies and all is synchronized, so there is basically no exposure to English language in Russia.
I watched black dude (actor) speaking Ruski at some American flick, he he. Very unusual thingy for us ...
I was teasing Ruskis with: "Ohh, look black Russian ... "
Stiggs:
I was offered a job in Russia once. I'd usually be up for a new experience, see a new country and everything but - I admit I'm probably just being ignorant - when I think of Russia I think of aggressive drunks, crap weather and unhappy people. I had a really good job and lifestyle in China so I turned it down.
icnif77:
I read reviews of English teachers living in Russia at Dave's ESL Cafe and it wasn't so bad overall ... You have to get job at International school in Russia similar to Turkey.
As I saw the title above, I was imagining living in Russia (or China) and suddenly I am required to complete Medical exam every 3-months ... to be able to still live and work there ...
The matter toward foreigners was implemented in Russia, but Ruski & China are dear friendo-s, so you never know, he he

No UFO & UAP ????

Gov's real disclosure about aliens visiting the Earth is upcoming, too ...
Stiggs:
Maybe that too. I saw two articles today about record breaking weather events though, after a year of crazy weather events. Its what made me say we can expect more of the same.
icnif77:
There is a serous discussion ... among the scientists, again, he he ... as it was .gov's cover-up, i.e. "top of the top-secretz" and it would cause the panic among humans, but the thingy, i.e. visits from abroad ... of the Earth, i.e. outer space are real.
These aren't a weather anomalies taped by the most advanced radars mounted on military vessels ... with F16 pilots' monologues in real time chasing the flying thingy.
Existence of gov.s' UFO research org.s' with huge budgets in different countries around the globe and what not ...
... to top all that with the precision used at the design of building the Giza pyramids (math & geometry, i.e. advanced architecture and astronomy, machine-like stone cut masonry and more ...), Gobekli Tepe in Turkey and other similar structures around the globe, Puma Punku & Tiwanaku in Peru, Easter Islands, Stonehenge ... simply couldn't be constructed by the hunter gatherers living at that time using primitive hand tools, i.e. some 11k years BC or even earlier.
This is UNDENIABLE proven fact!
Giza pyramid isn't a 4-sided structure like most regulars think ... It is 8-sided ..
You have to be familiar with the architecture to comprehend difficulty of constructing such a thing, which stayed intact during several historical earthquakes despite everything in the wider area around was flattened.
Egyptian pharaohs built that, right????
In the best case, ancient Egyptians adopt that, i.e. they moved in ...
Life on Earth was most likely engineered ...
It looks like a science fiction, but it ain't ... Have a look!

@icnif I wouldn't be surprised if the government/military are just as puzzled by the weird things as everyone else. It would be hard to disclose something if you have no idea what's happening yourself.
Stiggs:
That's usually how seasons work, but it has nothing to do with the subject.
icnif77:
I disagreez ... on the .gov thingy!
They (.gov) might be puzzled, but there wasn't any hint at trying to explain or even just announcing anomalies in the air, strange patterns in the crop fields and many farm animals mutilations without the blood leak (figure this one out ...!), i.e. surgically precision cuts without the bleeding ...
The thingy was "UFO/UAP sightings are nutters' venue ..." promoted by the .gov. as a cover-up.
Even the plane pilots, ship captains and many scientists were discouraged by the higher powers to promote it ...
Suddenly, there are discussions in American Upper House about announcing of such strange events and confirming Earth is often visited by the UFOs.
There is a report made around 1960 or so (Cold War era), UFO was hovering above nuclear missiles storage facility in USA and made all missiles launch inoperable ... US army couldn't/cannot figure it out why and how missiles launch was disabled, but UFO was recorded in the air at the same time ...
All UFO sightings started mostly after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear explosions in 1945 ...
Groups promoting Open-the-UFO-Books, i.e. scientists are stating reason for .gov's cover-up was/is mostly to keep usage of Earth's natural resources (oil) intact ('cause many are making loads of dough ..., i.e. follow-the-money thingy), but apparently alternative, cosmic energy is already known to some groups ... N. Tesla was working on that, but all his findings/inventions were also kept secret ....
Once you keep all that under the wrap, you/.gov hinders the human evolution, development ...
Very interesting and I am looking forward to further announcements ...
Not science fiction ... !

e-Tities is messing up with the software, so all display is screwed-up. There are no separations between the lines, i.e. weblink and text in the same line. No smileys display, either.
I thought, it's only at my Internet, but your last one was the same as mine.
I edit it and added separation software marks to your text.
My powers are enormous ...
Stiggs:
Thanks. I tried to edit so there was a line between the link and the text but it didn't work.
icnif77:
You must add the same marks as 1. (...) before the first letter; 2. double mark between the lines, i.e. sentence by sentence or new paragraph separation; and 3. mark after the last letter, i.e. end of the whole comment.
You can see the proper marks always when you open your text with 'edit'.
The software formatting marks were always added automatically, but no more for some reason.
Yesterday, I changed to TOR 'cause OPERA gave me 'Your connection is not secure' message when I opened e-Tities 'Answers'...
Something is definitely going on with the Chinese Internet ...
It doesn't want to display software marks. You can see proper format marks after you open your message with 'edit' ...
You should copy it identically, otherwise you won't get the proper format display.
Stiggs:
I used my phone instead of the computer which often seems to make formatting weird.
icnif77:
It ain't a phone. It's the Internet connection and since the formatting flop happened at your message same as at mine (lap-puter-top), the main cause is the Chinese Internet, i.e. entry node or e-Tities website alone.
When you post comment elsewhere on the web, formatting is OK ...
It's because of sumtin' on Chinese Internet.

icnif77:
I read/heard, they're mind readers ... as per revelation from the UFO abductees.
The crop cycles isn't 'making' in our sense or word's meaning. It's caused by some wave out of UFO hovering above the ground and whole crop field kept some magnetic anomalies for long time afterwards, i.e. compass goes haywire there and similar ...
The funniest was an American nuclear physicist S.T. Friedman, when he was commenting on Q "Why ETs just plain don't show up ...??".
He said: "You know, I never talk to the squirrels in my garden. Sometimes, I might yell 'QUARkk ..', but that's it ...".
He was alluding, ETs are certainly much more advanced than we are, i.e. the squirrels , since they can fly such a vast distances.
I am thinking, for ETs first appearance in public on Earth won't be much different than it was for us, laowai working in China.
Kids everywhere staring at me with open mouths, especially in the elevators ... , everybody's bumping with the shopping cart into my back at Super's queue and similar ...
ETs should make a convention with all laowai lined up .... for the guidance on the smoother Earth's adjustment.
I can't breathe ...
Stiggs:
People always assume aliens would feel the need to make themselves known to us humans, explain what their intentions are etc.
I'm not so sure about that. If I was an alien I'd talk to the dolphins, apes and elephants - intelligent creatures that just want to live in harmony with nature. Humans are aggressive and destructive, kind of like a swarm of bitey locusts that take pleasure in attacking everything while they destroy the crops. I'd want nothing to do with us, I'd be avoiding humans, wasps and mosquitoes.
icnif77:
"I told you so ..." is incoming ...
Yeah, you know that 'cause you've worked as an ET in China ..
Apparently, all UFO sightings started to occur more oftenly after the nuclear detonations in Japan in 1945 and by some scientists and other researchers we're threat to the cosmic assembly ... These are just an opinions ... for now.
You would tell yer monkeys to stop pissing around the place ..., and that how it will also be with the human ...
The talk about subliminal messages, psychics, telepathy and stuff will also become the talk of the day.
Once, psychic gets into your mind, you just follow suggestions without thinking or contemplating. I wrote about that here around 2012/13, but that experience of mine was unbelievable at the time and maybe it still is ...
Spy agencies use psychics these days. I've met them in Germany, USA, and later in Russia, too.
I saw them also in HK as 'Up-Yours" made touch-down. USA tried to figure it out his whereabouts in HK ... Remote viewing is wrapped in the veil of secrecy ... for now.
See on u-Tube streams about ...
Listen and follow or else ... these days, you don't need new world war to extinguish majority of the humans. Just have Chinese make and spread some more deadly virus and mission can be accomplished ... in fairly short time.
The other thingy is, Earth will get soon overpopulated and some clearing is necessary and upcoming, IMO ...
Only other option on the table is to find a new planet for the human's habitat ...

China Punishes People Trying To Escape Brutal Lockdown In Xi'an
The city of Xi'an, the provincial capital with a larger population than NYC, has been locked down, Wuhan-style, for more than a week now, and it's residents are starting to get restless thanks to a shortage of available foodstuffs. But any citizens who hope to escape what's shaping up to be a brutal lockdown will find the authorities to be less than understanding.
Vice Premier Sun Chunlan said local authorities need to adopt more "targeted and forceful" measures and improve quarantine controls, according to a report in the official Xinhua News Agency. China reported 166 local confirmed cases for that day, 161 of them in the city.
