Many are struggling in this economy. My family is among them. Please support what we’re doing here and help us to continue to spread the truth Americans need to read and hear.
All around the world, people are getting fed up with draconian measures undertaken in the name of public safety. Although we’re not hearing much about it in the news here in the United States, hundreds of thousands of people – perhaps even millions – are protesting across the globe, even though those protests are putting their very lives at risk. Austria, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Croatia, and Australia all have hundreds of thousands of people rising up for freedom.
Enter Omicron.
No, that’s not the new head of the Decepticons. It’s the new strain of Covid out of South Africa that is causing a hullabaloo. (Oh, and hat tip to my bestie for the Transformers reference.)
Some background on the pandemic
Throughout this entire pandemic, I’ve written from the heart, watched the patterns, and shared concerns when I thought warnings were in order. We published our first article about what would soon be known as Covid on Jan. 22, 2020. Every day after that for months I researched and wrote about the virus and the terrifying power grabs and brainwashing that came with it.
As a prepper, I take pandemics seriously. This is something I’ve prepped for over the course of many years. I wrote about my experience having Covid when I lived in Mexico. Unlike quite a few others in this industry, I have never denied that the virus exists or that it can be serious. Our family has lost two loved ones to the illness and I’ve lost two dear friends as well. I’m not a “Covid denier.” I recommended, during early phases, that people get prepared for the potential of what I assumed might be self-imposed lockdowns as we all watched and waited to see how things played out.
This enraged some readers, caused some to quit reading the website, and left others feeling more in control of their own situations. Everything I wrote was written using the information that I personally deemed credible that I had available at the time.
Then things got crazy.
As with anything, once the government steps in to “take control” of a situation, things go downhill like a silk sled on a greasy slide. We were forced to shut down for ‘just two weeks’ that ended up turning into months. It was a half-ass lockdown however, which made it utterly pointless. If you are trying to stop a communicable disease, your lockdown is a lockdown – completely. Nobody in or out.
If you’re trying to impoverish a nation and gain total control, a half-ass lockdown is just what the doctor (especially one who is going to profit from it) ordered. It allows the illness to spread widely unchecked and still overwhelms the medical facilities and other services it promises to protect, while utterly destroying the economy and the personal finances of the American people.
Build your own med-kit by filling it with various Med Packs of your choosing. You know what you need.
Then bring in the lies and division. Masks don’t work. Masks work. Everyone must wear a mask. Maybe you should wear two masks. If you don’t wear masks you hate old people. Repeat with the word “vaccine” instead of “mask.” Now, America is firmly split and instead of being a public health issue, it’s a political issue. Anyway. That’s not the point of this article. We all know what happened and most of us have less faith in government than ever before. (Go here to get a FREE Quickstart Guide to start starving the beast and freeing yourself today.)
Viruses mutate.
In fact, there’s a new variant to the Covid virus in the news right now called Omicron.
But before we get too deeply into this variant, let’s remember another “terrifying” variant, Super Covid. Do you remember that? It was going to be the death of us all. The word “mutation” was bandied around the news like the virus had suddenly grown into the size of a German Shepherd and rose to walk around on two legs to get us.
But viruses mutate.
Keep in mind I am not a virologist or a medical professional. And neither are the politicians taking advantage of this crisis, the folks pimping Big Pharma drugs, or the journalists writing breathless headlines. I’m just another writer out there reading stuff and trying to figure this out, the same as everyone else…
“Mutation” is a scary word. It brings to mind every sci-fi nightmare brought to life on the big screen of some lab-born creature that gets totally out of control. It makes you think of rats so big you could saddle them and ride them. Crazy, terrifying stuff.
But viruses mutate. It’s the nature of a virus.
To survive: unlike plants, animals and other organisms, the only way a virus can reproduce is through a host cell, which it does by attaching its surface proteins to the cell’s membrane and injecting its genetic material into the cell. This genetic material, either DNA or RNA, then carries with it the instructions to the cell’s machinery to make more viruses. These new viruses then leave the cell and spread to other parts of the host organism.
We don’t allow Google ads here. We won’t post foot fungus treatments or soft-porn ads like other conservative news outlets. We WILL support MyPillow because they love America. You can support them and me by using promo code “JDR” at checkout.
But host organisms are not passive observers to this process, and over time a human’s or pig’s immune system can learn from these encounters and develop strategies to prevent reinfection. The next time the same virus comes to a host cell, it may find that it is no longer able to attach to the cell’s surface membrane. So to survive, viruses must adapt or evolve, changing its surface proteins enough to trick the host cell into allowing it to attach. (source)
So while the headlines are scary – and meant to be – it’s perfectly natural that this virus has changed. (source)
A mutation isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A virus doesn’t want to rapidly kill its host because then the virus dies too. The evolution of a virus can have many different results – it can change the symptoms, it can make it more contagious, it can make it more deadly, or it can make it milder in order to affect more hosts. Just the fact that the virus mutated is not a death knell.
It’s normal.
And along came Omicron.
Just as people were beginning to stand up and fight back, to file suits, to take back control of their lives, finances, and businesses, along came a mutation from South Africa called Omicron, the one destined to scare us all back into submission.
The news right now is all about the Omicron variant of Covid. I hate to say it, but *yawn*. It’s “the worst” and “most deadly” and “most contagious” variant ever. Oh, and it’s “probably vaccine-resistant,” too.
Unfortunately for the media, Fauci, and those benefitting from lockdowns and vaccines, the scientist who identified the Omicron variant said, in fact, that it’s “extremely mild.”
Contrary to the panicmongering unleashed by western mainstream median, Barry Schoub, chairman of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines, told Sky News on Sunday that while South Africa, which first identified the new variant, currently has 3,220 people with the coronavirus infection overall and while the variant does appear to be spreading rapidly, there’s been no real uptick in hospitalizations

“The cases that have occurred so far have all been mild cases, mild-to-moderate cases, and that’s a good sign,” said Schoub, adding that it was still early days and nothing was certain yet.
Most importantly, and running counter to the fearmongering narrative being pumped out 24/7 by the mainstream media, Schoub said that the large number of mutations found in the omicron variant appears to destabilize the virus, which might make it less “fit” than the dominant delta strain. (source)
Well, that’s certainly inconvenient.
Governments are losing all that delicious control they’ve grown so fond of, and they don’t like it. So watch what you actually see and pay less attention to the breathless news reports on this one. I’m very skeptical about it. And, remember, I am not a “Covid doesn’t exist person.” I’ve had it and it sucked. But this? I am thoroughly unconvinced that this is going to be the one that gets us all unless we roll up our sleeves yet again for the latest and greatest from Pfizer and friends.
Now, I could be wrong. This could end up being the most serious thing since smallpox or the Black Plague. I’m not suggesting you completely ignore it. Be watchful and if you think things look bad, take the appropriate steps – you’re a prepper, after all. But the information I have currently doesn’t indicate that this is the threat it’s being portrayed as in the media.
We’ll just have to see what happens.
Oh, and about the name “Omicron”
Incidentally, the World Health Organization skipped around some letters of the Greek alphabet to come up with Omicron.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has explained why it skipped the Greek letters “nu” and “xi” in naming the new COVID-19 variant Omicron.

“Two letters were skipped—Nu and Xi—because Nu is too easily confounded with ‘new’ and Xi was not used because it is a common surname and [the] WHO best practices for naming new diseases … suggest avoiding ‘causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic groups,’” the United Nations agency told The Epoch Times in a statement on Nov. 27.
Professor Jonathan Turley, a criminal attorney and professor at George Washington University, speculated that the WHO “is again avoiding any discomfort for the Chinese government” in skipping the “Xi” letter and naming it Omicron.
“The new variant was expected to be Nu but any additional variant would then be Xi, which happens to be the name of the Chinese leader,” he wrote on Twitter. (source)
Can we all just give it a rest and admit that China owns the WHO and get on with our pandemic, please?
What do you think about the Omicron variant?
What do you think about this new and “scary” variant of the Covid virus? Are you concerned that Omicron will lead to worsening illnesses? Or are you more concerned that it will lead to more overreach?
Let us know what you think in the comments.

Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker

This is all a bunch of nonsense! I dont believe none of it! I am 53 years old and been around alot of people and aint even had a cold! i will not take a shot, and wear a mask that dont protect you from anything, your still breating in air through the mask and you keep washing them now your breating in the chemicals from the washing powder! lol
