A few years ago, the phrase, "Politicians have become comedians, and comedians have become politicians", was first floated in jest. Whoever came up with this observation couldn't possibly have known how frighteningly astute their perception would turn out to be. Enter Woody Harrelson, a brilliant actor with a unique penchant for comedy, who recently gave a comedic assessment of the reality of lockdowns and other COVID measures on Saturday Night Live. Harrelson hinted at the darker interpretation of the COVID era and spoke out in the face of the conspiracy of silence that entombs this surreal period. Harrelson's monologue fell flat on this audience, indicating that it simply cut too close to the bone. This article first appeared on Brownstone Institute. – Nadya Swart

Woody Harrelson demonstrates the pain of truth

In the course of an otherwise unmeaningful monologue on Saturday Night Live, Woody Harrelson let go with a remarkable theory of the Covid era. It was supposed to be hilarious, but why should it be? In a world in which people were long over this, all the investigations have been done and the condemnations issued, and masses of people are fully cognisant of the underlying reality and all its horrors, his flippant remarks would have been funny. 

Instead, the audience sat there in stunned silence. Are they even allowed to laugh? Woody Harrelson, with the intuition of a great comic, quickly moved to the next point and then closed out the opening. 

In other words, it's too soon, as they say. Too soon for laughter. But it's not too soon for truth. 

His words were pretty simple. He tells a fictional story of finding a movie script. In the plot, "the biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes, and people can only come out if they take the cartel's drugs and keep taking them over and over." He finishes by saying that such a movie could not be made because it is too implausible.

The caller assured me that it was coming much sooner. I found that to be ridiculous, even dangerous. But I still had not made the connection: the purpose of the lockdown was to buy time for the production and distribution of a vaccine. An even darker interpretation of lockdowns would be that influential people need to preserve population-wide immunological naivete in order to demonstrate the value of vaccine technology. 

As for media and politicians, the idea that they are bought off by Big Pharma is no longer in dispute. We've seen too many running reels of "brought to you by Pfizer" on every form of entertainment, and we've seen the receipts.

So Harrelson's story is not entirely wrong. Indeed, in the guise of comedy, he has come closer to truth than any mainstream venue of entertainment has yet to reveal. And, as it turns out, his views are rather well-developed, as we can tell from another interview.
