DEBUNKED: There is NO Classic Movie Called The Omicron Variant

DEBUNKED: No, there is no such movie called 'The Omicron Variant'.

Becky Cheatle, an Irish director and writer, created the viral posters you see being shared on social media - just for harmless fun. There were two real movies that contained the greek alphabet word 'Omicron' which are horror/sci-fi genres and have nothing to do with viruses or pandemics.

You will find many words from the Greek alphabet used in sci-fi movies and TV shows - alpha, beta, gamma, delta, omicron, omega etc. Unfortunately these kind of fun skits are exploited by conspiracy theorists with New World Order and Global conspiracy agendas - bonded by a common trait: they never do proper and thorough research because they are far more fixated about rushing to their pre-ordained conclusions.

Throw into the mix fringe groups with political and anti-establishment views, happy to deliberately ultlise modern graphic and audio technology to alter and manipulate official and original material/content - and you realise why we live in a world where we all need to ask questions, examine and research thoroughly anything we find presented to us online as 'real' just because it is 'there' in front of us.

We live in an age that requires additional skills and filters - the old adage 'seeing is believing' no longer stands up in the way it once did. And if we can do one important thing for our kids and the next generation - it is to gift them that 'filter toolbox' of skills in schools and colleges.

THE VANISHING OF MARY BOYLE

Mary Boyle (born 14 June 1970) was a six-year-old Irish girl who disappeared on the County Donegal-County Fermanagh border on 18th March 1977. To date, her disappearance is the longest missing child case in the Republic of Ireland. The investigation into her disappearance has been beset by allegations of political intervention and police incompetence. While arrests were made over many years, nobody has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance. Mary Boyle was last seen at 3:30 pm on 18 March 1977 near her grandparents' rural farm in Cashelard, near Ballyshannon, County Donegal. The family, including Mary's mother Ann, father Charlie, older brother Paddy, and twin sister Ann, had gone to Mary's maternal grandparents' house on St Patrick's Day from their home in Kincasslagh in The Rosses, further up the coast. They stayed at the grandparents home overnight into the day of her disappearance. In total, there were eleven people at the household gathering, si...

WOKE: The Trope That Doesn't Work

WOKE - a word we now hear so often used in ridicule of others on social media commentary. But like so many tropes used against others, its user - by the mere act of using it - clearly demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of its true meaning and origin. If anything, its usage, now defines more the user, than the intended reciprocate. And its not a new word by any stretch of 21st Century meaning. It dates back more than 80 years but has only in the past few years reignited its common and increasing usage in everyday English language. ORIGIN - THE WOKE It originally dates back to a comment from an African American United Mine Workers official in 1940 (USA), stating: "Let me tell you buddy. Waking up is a damn sight harder than going to sleep, but we'll stay woke up longer." Think of all the times in exchanges online (primarily social media) that you've been described as 'woke' in a derogatory way. Ask yourselves, have you noticed how often those throwing...
