Extending Lockdowns into March 2021


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I warned the objective with these lockdowns is to crush the economy so they can “build [it] back better,” which means they must destroy the economy as we know it. They will continue to extend these lockdowns throughout 2021 and use them as the excuse to end democracy and elections 2021-2022. The lockdown which was just for a few weeks was extended to include Christmas and New Years’ and it will constantly be extended to achieve their political goals. They are already hinting at extending them into March in Europe.

To “build back better” by bringing CO2 to zero, they will continue the lockdowns despite the fact that after one year, CO2 has not declined. Gates has used his money to back this agenda to drive CO2 to zero and reduce the population. They are targeting cows and want to end meat production. Bill Gates, with Leonardo DiCaprio, has already has been building that industry in anticipation of claiming animals can get COVID and must be exterminated — i.e. 17 million Minks. They are claiming your pets can now get COVID and the CDC says they must be confined to the house. What’s next? We must kill all our dogs and cats? Make no mistake about it, they would do the same with people if they could get away with it.

This is no different from Karl Marx and his entire idea of redesigning the world economy by confiscating all wealth and making all decisions from the central political authority. Marx was also all about shutting down religion — the opium of the masses.

A World in a State of Total Confusion


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

While 17 states have joined Texas in their lawsuit against Pennsylvania for a fraudulent election, YouTube/Google and the new BigTech conspiracy against the people vow to delete any content claiming the election was tarnished in any way pronouncing Bide is the president-elect which is totally illegal for only the Electoral College can make that determination. The Georgia Governor refuses to investigate anything including dead voters which is a common fraud in every election. The Republican Party file a suit against the governor to mandate he follow the law. Then in Delaware, the US Attorney is investigating Hunter Biden’s taxes which can lead to Biden himself. Is there any wonder why our computer has been highlighting the week of December 21 following the Electoral College vote and then the week of January 4th which is the Georga runoff for the Senate rather than inauguration day? The target week of the 4th is the biggest target and it is that election that will determine who controls the Senate.

VACCINE:

We are getting in reports from around the world that people are getting sick from the vaccine. Pfizer has issued a warning now itself. I have heard from health workers who had to quit or take the vaccine. Both Pfizer and Moderna are producing separate vaccines that use messenger RNA, or mRNA, to trigger the immune system to produce protective antibodies without using actual bits of the virus. This experimental coronavirus vaccine is the first-ever authorized vaccines that use mRNA. In reality, there are no long-term studies and this whole thing has been pushed for political purposes – not health. Nobody in government cares about us – EVER! We are the great unwashed who are tolerated – but perhaps not for long.

COMMENT FROM SLOVAKIA:

Slovakia heading into its 3rd total lockdown. Everything will be closed, Christmas is canceled, and people are to stay at home at least until mid-January. The (insane & criminal) PM said the end of lockdown will depend on the “situation”, and lockdown is to only end once it’s “safe” for kids to go to school. (So, I guess by the summer…LOL.)

Note that Slovaks have been forced to get tested several times since October, in three rounds of nationwide testing. The testing was basically mandatory because those without a negative test certificate were not allowed to leave home, go into shops, work, or even go for a walk. The “excuse” for the periodic testing was… to avoid a new lockdown.

Also, from January all medium and large firms must periodically test every employee for “covid”!

Those who lived under Mao or Stalin were better off… I knew this was coming – that we’d soon come to envy them – but didn’t know it would come this fast.

P

CONCLUSION:

Is it any wonder why everything is just going so nuts? We have even the Dow making a while outside reversal on a yearly basis. That is rare in the very least.

17 States File Amicus Brief With Supreme Court in Support of Texas Election Lawsuit


Posted oginanally on The Conservative tree house on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

Late Monday night the state of Texas filed a lawsuit directly in the Supreme Court against four states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvan and Wisconsin. The intent is to block those states from casting their Electoral College votes for Joe Biden due to the unconstitutional nature of mail-in ballot use – against legislative approval and requirement.

Today 17 states filed an amicus brief [pdf link] in support of the Texas lawsuit.

The seventeen states include Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.

As noted in the supportive filing: “The States have a strong interest in preserving the proper roles of state legislatures in the administration of federal elections, and thus safeguarding the individual liberty of their citizens.”

[…] “States have a strong interest in ensuring that the votes of their own citizens are not diluted by the unconstitutional administration of elections in other States. When non-legislative actors in other States encroach on the authority of the “Legislature thereof” in that State to administer a Presidential election, they threaten the liberty, not just of their own citizens, but of every citizen of the United States who casts a lawful ballot in that election — including the citizens of amici States.

Here’s the Full Amicus Brief:

…”A true patriot keeps the attention of his fellow citizens awake to their grievances, and not allow them to rest till the causes of their just complaints are removed.”…

48 States and US Government Sue Facebook for Illegal Monopoly Practices


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

Facebook is facing a lawsuit filed by 48 states for monopoly practices and the FTC is joining with supportive legal action. NY Attorney General Latitia James held a news conference to announce the antitrust lawsuit using Instagram & WhatsApp as examples.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Wednesday sued to force a breakup of Facebook as 48 states and districts accused the company in a separate lawsuit of abusing its market power in social networking to crush smaller competitors.

The antitrust lawsuits were announced by the Federal Trade Commission and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The FTC specifically asked a court to force Facebook sell off its Instagram and WhatsApp messaging services.

“It’s really critically important that we block this predatory acquisition of companies and that we restore confidence to the market,” James said during a press conference announcing the lawsuit. (read more)

Facebook is the world’s biggest social network with 2.7 billion users and a company with a market value of nearly $800 billion whose CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the world’s fifth-richest individual and the most public face of Big Tech swagger.

Google, YouTube, Announce They Will Block Content That Challenges 2020 Election Result


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

After the Marxist-left spent four years challenging the result of the 2016 election, forming the “resistance” and calling Donald Trump an illegitimate president; and after Big Tech supported, allowed and amplified that message on all media platforms; Big Tech’s largest control agent, Google (via YouTube), now steps-in to say they will not permit content that challenges the outcome of a demonstrably fraudulent 2020 election.

…”we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.”…

(Source)

To use a familiar movie metaphor, what we are witnessing is BIG TECH activating their Death Star to destroy opposition and advance their ideological agenda on behalf of their EMPIRE.  Google Inc will target and shut-down any voice that challenges them.

While alarming and disconcerting in the extreme. This is not necessarily a bad outcome, because now the true rebellion will begin.  Now the Rebel Alliance will grow as ordinary people start to take matters much more seriously.

Keep in mind, the hypocrisy is only a small aspect, they don’t care about your opinion on this issue.  This is the advancement of a totalitarian regime goal by ‘any means necessary’.  CTH readers are smart, we saw this coming… we know how to lead a rebellion with the tools of an insurgency.

Big Tech is going to cleave the entire network of communication along ideological lines. Totalitarian leftists -vs- Freedom patriots.  Big assembled tech -vs- the Rebel Alliance.

Immediately after the Google/YouTube announcement, our friends at Right Side Broadcasting (RSBN) were notified their content would be removed.

These are historic times, unsettling times and times of great consequence.  This is why CTH has focused so extensively on the need for fellowship in all forms.  This is why CTH 2.0 is being designed with a very specific base platform.

To give you an idea of how strong our CTH community is.  The average in-bound traffic into any platform is 80 to 90% driven by search engine results (Google, Duck-Duck etc). That means Google controls 80 percent of a websites communication.

By contrast less than 10% of our CTH community comes through search engine results.  CTH is directly linked to millions of members of the Rebel Alliance without the need for Google etc, and that number is now growing on our own platform.

We have been blessed and guided. We are very fortunate.  CTH 2.0 is now, and will be, isolated from the reach of Big Tech influence.  CTH will stand bold, free and advance the position of liberty.  You will see much more in the coming weeks/months about how CTH will keep the lantern lit in the Old North Church.

In the final analysis this effort by Big Tech will fail.  There are already solutions surfacing, and there will be even more solutions coming even faster now.

Freedom is inherently an American trait.

Steadfast !

Why We No Long Have Free Press


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Dec 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Here we have the people at the London FT and they are coming out in favor of Schwab’s World Economic Forum and “Stakeholder” Economics. They will NEVER publish anything to the contrary so there is no more reporting of news, it is all being orchestrated to support the Great Reset and the end of democracy. Note that they are very much against Trump and as such they will never allow anything to appear in their paper anymore which is pro-Trump or anti-Schwab. They have surrendered their journalism and become propaganda marketers.

All the British Press which was also anti-BREXIT, have surrendered journalism which is reporting the facts for the pushing of this agenda.

In advocating Stakeholder Economics they have clearly FAILED to do their research and they are advocating the abandonment of shareholder rights which defeats the very reason to buy stocks. Stakeholder Economics made its debut in 1932 BEFORE social programs existed. It proved to be a disaster and led to the worst-performing stock market in history.

Not until corporations began to abandon Stakeholder Economics after Milton Friedman’s publication criticizing it in 1970, did the market behind to perform. The low in share values relative to book value took place in 1977. This was the takeover boom of the post-1985 era. You could buy a company, sell its assets, and double or triple your money.

This was the end of Stakeholder Economics.

The Common Words of Politicians & Great Reset


Armstrong Economics Blog/France Re-Posted Dec 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT from FRANCE: Hello and thank you for your fantastic insights. I live in France and I just thought you may be interested in what the French President recently said in an interview he gave to a media called Brut. He was asked whether he would be a candidate for the next presidential elections in May 2022, He replied that he may have to take very harsh decisions in the last few months before the election and therefore may “not be able” to be a candidate. This made me think of articles on your blog where you suggest that elections may be canceled in 2022 and we will be in a full-blown dictatorship. The French President also said in an interview end of October “we had got used to living as individuals in a free society, but we are citizens living in solidarity”. All very worrying. Happy to share links to the interviews if needed.

Currently, we are in a semi lockdown, basically, all hospitality is closed, but we can work and shop and go to school as long as we wear masks and have a certificate (that we sign for ourselves) authorizing ourselves to leave the house for a permitted purpose”. It is downright tyrannical.
best,
NL

REPLY: President Macron said:  “Maybe I will not be able to be a candidate, maybe I will have to do things in the last year, the last months, which will be hard because the circumstances will require it and which will make it impossible for me to be a candidate, I do not exclude anything.“

This piece from the FT at the Davos 2016 is the key. The political establishment of the world sees the election of Donald Trump as very dangerous.  They call this “populism” and to them, it is NOT acceptable that the people would be allowed to vote them out of office.

Now, the words that really bothered me were: “We had got used to living as individuals in a free society, but we are citizens living in solidarity.” These are the first words of UNESCO’s founding director – Julian Huxley who was a racist and a supporter of not just a one-world government, but of eugenics whereby population should be controlled and undesirable races should be reduced.

Huxley saw the idea of the United States with individual rights as far-left as the far-right and was thus unacceptable. These people see us as the great unwashed, too stupid to understand what is best for us or society. Therefore, he was against “unrestricted individualism” and hence we should not be allowed to vote for the controlling political establishment.

This is the position of the World Economic Forum and what this “Great Reset” is all about. Democracy is to come to an end. Yet they claim they will keep some checks and balances. This is what Macron is saying. He cannot run for office and make the hard decisions because people vote. By 2022, they intend to remove all rights in our democracies and will deny us the right to vote in what they call “populism.”


This is what they are really saying by “inclusion and equality” which is their redesigning the world economy and it will be for you so you surrender your rights and they will take care of you. Note what Kerry says – there is no going back to normal. At Davos, Kerry stated that a Great Reset was urgently needed to stop the rise of populism – (i.e. Trump supporters). They regard Trump was elected by “populism” so what he was saying was to suppress Democracy itself. He is clearly stating that career politicians fear losing power. Kerry vowed that under a Biden administration, America would rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement to push the Great Reset but added, that this was “not enough.”

What if Covid Dies Out?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi Marty,

If Covid dies out naturally before the European elections next year, what might the “Reset” crowd turn to in order to influence/alter the elections?

The WEC was terrific!  Thanks very much for making it available by live stream!  Also, thank you for the updates to Socrates.

AB

ANSWER: I do not believe that COVID is natural. There is way too much evidence that hints at this being orchestrated. I know some have tried to claim it is not real. Nevertheless, it is a REAL VIRUS. What is not known is why it impacts some severely and others no worse than the flu. The danger of COVID is that it can mutate as all viruses do. Then there is the possibility that they could just as easily release another version 2.0. Our model has forecast that there should be a rise in disease in 2022. The question is simple: will this be orchestrated? They have obviously been using the virus to blow-out all the fiscal budgets and pretend this warrants abandoning all fiscal management. Even the EU is changing its austerity regulations.

The far-left has been demanding Biden address their agenda to virtually end capitalism. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the US version of Canada’s Justine Trudeau, is among the first female members of the Democratic Socialists of America elected to serve in Congress. Meanwhile, we have lawsuits flying around, and even now from Alice Little, the woman who claims she is the “highest-earning sex worker in the US,”who is suing the state of Nevada to reopen its brothels mid-pandemic.

This virus has been exaggerated for political purposes. Never before has any disease been so exploited. There have been seven cholera pandemics over the course of the last 200 years. The fourth pandemic lasted from 1863 to 1875 and spread from India to Naples and Spain. In 1884, the cholera pandemic hit several parts of Italy, being especially virulent in Naples. According to the contemporary prefect’s statistics, cholera affected upwards of 14,000 people in the province, killing 8000 of them, of whom 7000 perished in the city of Naples alone showing that urban living has historically been accompanied by greater risk. The state reacted by imposing a lockdown and the city was placed under martial law, and restrictions on movements were imposed under force of military action.

There is certainly precedent for turning to the military when there were real pandemics.Categories:Disease
