Scene: A dimly lit pub in Britain. Mr. Wise to… is seated next to Mr. ViroLiegist, who is nervously supping a pint of warm beer. Mr. Wise to…, grinning mischievously, leans over.
Mr. Wise to…: [Leaning in] “Ello, mate. You, er, work in ‘virology,’ do you?
Mr. ViroLiegist: [In a haughty, upper-class accent] Yes, that’s right.
Mr. Wise to…: [Nods eagerly, twiddling his thumbs] Ahhhh, virology, eh? Very important field, eh? [Winks] Isolate any ‘viruses’ recently? [Leans in closer] You know… isolate isolate, wink wink, nudge nudge?
Mr. ViroLiegist: Well, we don’t really… isolate in the strictest sense.
Mr. Wise to…: [Nods knowingly] Oh, don’t you now, eh? Don’t really isolate, wink wink, say no more! So, uh, you get your little culture dish, and-what-throw in some monkey kidney cells, eh? Give it a little stir, nudge nudge?
Mr. ViroLiegist: Well, yes, we introduce cell cultures -
Mr. Wise to…: Introduce, eh? [Winks dramatically] I’ll bet you do! Eh? [Leans in close, eyes wide] Cytopathic effects, eh? Lovely bit of destruction, wink wink, say no more!
Mr. ViroLiegist: Well, yes, it’s just part of the process…
Mr. Wise to…: [Interrupts, grinning] Part of the process, eh? Process, eh? Mixing and matching, bit of this, bit of that – eh? All gets a bit complicated, don’t it? [Leans back, crossing his arms smugly] I bet there’s PCR involved, eh? Eh? Amplifying things that aren’t really, you know – wink wink, say no more!
Mr. ViroLiegist: We use PCR to -
Mr. Wise to…: [Leans forward, raising his eyebrows repeatedly] Ohhh, I bet you do! PCR – right between the old genes, eh? Amplify this, amplify that – nudge nudge, lovely bit of sequences, eh?
Mr. ViroLiegist: [Awkwardly] Well, it’s to detect -
Mr. Wise to…: Detect, eh? [Grinning wider] Oh, I bet you detect all sorts of things! Bits of RNA floating about in the old soup, eh? No need for anything pure, eh? Just a bit of random genetic detritus, eh? You sly dog, you!
Mr. ViroLiegist: Well, it’s not quite that simple -
Mr. Wise to…: Not that simple, eh? [Nudges him] Say no more! No need to complicate things, right? Just throw in some random sequences, patch 'em together, bit of guesswork, eh? Lovely bit of data stitching – wink wink! [Leans in] You ever, uh, publish any of that? Eh? Eh? Get a cheeky little grant for your trouble?
Mr. ViroLiegist: [Hesitating] Well, I mean, we -
Mr. Wise to…: [Nods eagerly] Ohhhh, I bet you did, eh? Got your cheeky little funding, eh? [Elbows him harder] Lots of papers written, all about nothing in particular – eh? Just a bit of this, a bit of that – wink wink, nudge nudge! And all without really having seen the little blighter, eh?
Mr. ViroLiegist: [Sputtering on his warm pint] Well, we have electron microscope images –
Mr. Wise to…: Oh, electron microscopes, eh? [Winks again, jabbing him with his elbow] Big ol’ blurry blobs, eh? Slap a few arrows on there, call it a virus, eh? Lovely bit of science, that! [Sits back, smug] Can’t argue with that, now, can you? Science at its finest, eh? Say no more!
Mr. ViroLiegist: [Confused] I -
Mr. Wise to…: [Leaning back in satisfaction] Ohhhh, you’re a sly one, mate. Absolutely love it! Nudge nudge, wink wink!
[Fade out, as Mr. Wise to… smirks knowingly and Mr. ViroLiegist squirms uncomfortably.]
Cheers, guv!! I really appreciate the positive feedback!!
There are quite a few Python sketches that lend themselves to mocking the virus lie narrative. I thought it would be fun to adapt the “Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink“ sketch to highlight the glaring contradictions viroLiegists create in their so-called efforts to ‘isolate‘ ‘viruses.‘ Using the the same kind of comic inuendo that Python so brilliantly applied to poke fun at the clueless guy fishing for sexual details, I aimed to expose the absurdity of their methods with a similar wink-and-a-nudge approach.
Huge thanks, again!! 👍👍💥 I posted this on Christine Massey‘s Substack on Sunday. I hope it brings a smile and a few laughs:
Ministry of Silly ‘Viruses’
[Scene: A small, drab office at the Ministry of Silly ‘Viruses.’ Mr. TestTube (John Cleese) enters, walking with an exaggeratedly silly viral “drift” – a staggered, mutation-prone stride. He eventually reaches his desk and sits down. Mr. RNA (Michael Palin) is already seated across from him, nervously clutching a petri dish]
Mr. TestTube: Good morning.
Mr. RNA: Good morning, sir.
Mr. TestTube: What can I do for you?
Mr. RNA: Well, sir, I have a silly virus, and I’d like to obtain a government grant to help me develop it.
Mr. TestTube: [Leaning forward with interest] A silly virus, you say? Splendid! May I see it?
Mr. RNA: Yes, certainly, yes.
[Mr. RNA stands up, wobbling slightly with an exaggerated, stumbling gait reminiscent of a ‘virus’ struggling through mutation. The effort is mild and unimpressive, barely a blip on the ‘viral’ silliness radar.]
Mr. TestTube: That’s it, is it?
Mr. RNA: Well, yes, that’s it, yes.
Mr. TestTube: [Slightly disappointed] It’s not particularly silly, is it? I mean, the replication isn’t silly at all. Just a predictable sequence of A, C, G, T; no wild insertions, no unexpected deletions, and not even a furry cleavage site! [He punctuates his words with dramatic, energizing hand movements, mimicking the presentation of a ‘furry cleavage site.’]
Mr. RNA: Yes, but I think that with government backing, I could make it very silly indeed.
Mr. TestTube: [Considering] Hmm… possibly. But you see, we’ve already got a whole line up of silly ‘viruses’ – bird flu, monkeypox, and numerous other made-up ones that didn’t quite catch on. It’s a crowded field, you know. The funding is tight unless your ‘virus’ is really absurd.
Mr. RNA: Well, sir, I’m not asking for more than the grant given to bird flu last year, and I was really getting into my strain. [He demonstrates again, this time making another half-hearted attempt at mutation, followed by a lacklustre hop as if jumping species - one hand on his hip and the other arm raised like a kettle’s spout]
Mr. TestTube: [Leaning back, amused] Yes, but the problem is, it’s not particularly silly, is it? Now, I don’t mean to be rude, but it just lacks that… you know… pandemic potential.
Mr. RNA: I see.
Mr. TestTube: However, I think I can recommend a few steps to help develop your ‘virus.’
Mr. RNA: Oh, thank you, sir. What should I do?
Mr. TestTube: Well, start by ‘isolating’ in a nice thick soup of genetic material. Like this. [He gestures dramatically, mimicking a ‘virus’ stealthily swimming through a mix of cellular debris.] Then, endure the pain of being poisoned by antibiotics. [He winces, clutching his stomach. Then, shuffles with a crazed, zigzagging walk as if trying to escape an invisible enemy.] And finally, swim in bovine foetal serum! [He breaks the swimming motion, hiding his head in his hands, and groaning as if haunted by the ghosts of unborn calves.]
Mr. RNA: Ah, yes. I see what you mean, sir.
Mr. TestTube: And then, when the researchers start their so-called “isolation process,” you can cause all sorts of cytopathic effects in the cell cultures. Really make them think they’ve found something dangerous. Try it again.
[Mr. RNA attempts to act out the ‘virus’ causing cytopathic effects by wobbling his arms and making exaggerated frowns. He adds a few feeble, half-hearted jerks as if trying to ‘infect’ invisible cells, but the result resembles a twitching zombie more than a convincing ‘viral’ assault.]
Mr. RNA: It’s difficult.
Mr. TestTube: Well, it’s just a matter of practice. It’s not something you can just pick up overnight. But if you’re prepared to be poisoned by antibiotics, heavy metal stains, and pretend PCR results ‘prove’ your existence, I can give you a grant.
Mr. RNA: [Brightening up] Oh, thank you very much, sir. I will do my best to continue the fraud.
Mr. TestTube: Right, you can pick up the grant form at the desk outside. We’ve got plenty of funds for something this silly. In fact, the more nonsensical, the better!
Mr. RNA: [Grinning] Thank you very much, sir.
Mr. TestTube: Good luck! And remember, if all else fails, just get a friend in a lab coat to draw some arrows on an electron microscope image. That always does the trick.
[Mr. RNA exits, doing a silly ‘viral’ dance, as Mr. TestTube leans back, thoroughly pleased with the absurdity of his job.]
“ Despite its dire economic situation, Russia is strengthening its influence in the region, aligning itself with Burkina Faso as part of a broader neo-colonial strategy in Africa.” Makes sense, and asking for non-militarization of space is something BF could readily agree to, given its low priority. The people who ridicule instead of think have only shallow analysis to offer.
"Terror group's executive council head Hashem Safieddine reportedly tapped to succeed cousin slain in Israeli airstrike in Beirut"
---------------------------------------
Safieddine is another dead man walking. The executive council must hate him.
In other news turdo knows he is toast and always wanted to be a bigshot in the UN. (united nitwits)
I hope he gets that position. His vapidity and ignorance will screw up and destroy the "united nitwits" and he is prime nitwit material. BTW I have a huge "Fack turdo" flag hanging from the mast.
I was told a fellow nearby was ordered to take his down. A case of false authority again. The CYSTem cannot tell anyone what flag they can or cannot fly on their own property.
A related reality, has any authority and I mean the corrupt CHRC ever banned/outlawed a so called holy book that in its contents orders, "Kill the infidel wherever you find him." Nope. Why not"? It is hate and a threat against anyone who is not moslem. So why is the useless CHRC silent?
Oil wars! I've seen this movie before:).
John Kerry is brain dead globalism personified.

Brilliant ! You must be a Monty Python fan. I wonder how you had the idea to base your dialogue on that famous sketch ?
