A Familiar Play – Mitch McConnell Blocks Attempt to Pass $2,000 COVID Relief Bill, Deflects Accountability to POTUS


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 29, 2020 by Sundance

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked a bipartisan effort to enlarge the COVID relief bill to $2,000.  President Trump supports the enhanced relief package.  As a consequence, in justifying his maneuver McConnell did something we are all too familiar with.  It is time to expose the Decepticon game again; this time people will accept.

[POTUS Tweet Link – Washington Post Link]

At first blush you might ask yourself why Mitch McConnell would block this bill and put the Georgia special election senate races in question.  He just handed Georgia democrats an atomic sledgehammer.  However, what most people do not understand is how McConnell works; being in the minority position is not adverse to his interests.  McConnell operates with a Machiavellian strategy, so we will explain.

Senator McConnell said the $2,000 bill would be attached to two other POTUS priorities including (1) section 230 reform, and (2) a request for congressional review of the 2020 election fraud, both have been requested by President Trump.  This is how Mitch McConnell justifies; this is how the GOP will defend his decision; the creation of a false dichotomy is how McConnell works.  But watch what he is really doing.

McConnell admits in his floor testimony the three stage bill will take time to assemble. In essence he admits publicly the $2k, 23o reform and 2020 election review committee will take longer than the January 5th Georgia runoff.  So he is admitting the toxic political issue of the $2,000 denial will exist to benefit the democrats in the race.  Accept this.

Second, McConnell knows a second bill with all three elements will not pass the House. McConnell knows it is a pure political posturing exercise that will produce nothing, yet provide more justification for his blockage.

Once you stop being a battered conservative; meaning once you accept that McConnell knows he is creating a dynamic that supports the GA democrats; then you move to the question: ‘why would McConnell take an action that would put him in the minority?’

On its face the question seems absurd; however, it only seems absurd because people don’t understand the schemes in the upper chamber, the Senate, under Leader McConnell and Leader Harry Reid before him.  The institution of the Senate requires a voter to understand the shell game.  The pea is never where you think it is.

Defenders of the Decepticon schemes rely on our inability to understand a hidden agenda; a secret agenda… However, with more eyes now open this outline will start to make sense.

First, McConnell doesn’t care about holding a majority position in the Senate. Whether he is a majority leader or a minority leader doesn’t matter to McConnell. In fact McConnell’s political skill-set does better in the minority than the majority.

The preferred political position for Mitch McConnell is where he has between 45 and 49 republican Senators, and the Democrats hold the Majority with around 55. Of course with Senator Harry Reid’s retirement, this would now imply Majority leader Chuck Schumer holding office.

Why does McConnell prefer the minority position?

The answer is where you have had to actually follow Mitch McConnell closely to see how he works. When the Majority has around 52 to 55 seats, they need McConnell to give them 8 to 9 votes to overcome the three-fifths (60 vote) threshold for their legislative needs. It is in the process of trade and payment for those 8 to 9 votes where McConnell makes more money, and holds more power, than as a sitting Majority Leader.

The 60 vote threshold, and McConnell’s incredible skillset in the minority, is where he shines. Each of the needed votes to achieve sixty is worth buckets of indulgence to the minority leader and those on K-Street who need the Senate to support their legislative constructs.  The votes to get to sixty are worth a lot of money.

This institutional dynamic is the currency of affluence and influence in the Senate; this is why Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell never changed the Senate rules for legislative passage.  This is why the filibuster was retained and why the 60 vote threshold was always beneficial to both parties.  The color of the flag atop the spire matters not.

Except for budget passage (reconciliation); and McConnell being forced by intransigence in the era of Trump resistance to change the judicial vote threshold to 51; McConnell would never consider changing the legislative threshold (60 votes) to a simple majority (51 votes) because it would be removing his favored position.

A simple majority vote is adverse to the institutional interests.  That is why McConnell retained it during his reign as majority leader; as did Harry Reid before him.

The process of selling votes to the 60-vote threshold in the Senate is where the UniParty operates; and where the status of maximum financial benefit for the minority exists.

Currently, as majority leader with 52 GOP senators, McConnell needs to purchase eight or nine votes for each legislative priority.

Mitch McConnell doesn’t like being the purchaser, he prefers being the vote seller where his skill-set as a broker really shines.  McConnell is much better at extracting terms for his vote sales, than being the purchaser for the votes of an intransigent minority wing. This is why the current Senate doesn’t pass many bills.

If Democrats were in the majority, and McConnell was the minority leader, we would see much more legislation pass because Schumer is a more well financed buyer (K-Street) and McConnell is a much better seller.  Whenever we have this minority dynamic it always leaves people confused because few really watch what McConnell is doing.

McConnell takes his favorite 18 controlled GOP senators (Decepticons) and he brokers their votes on an ‘as needed’ basis.  The eight to ten senators he selects each time get compensated in the process.  McConnell rotates the financial beneficiaries on a bill-by-bill basis.  As a consequence each of the 18 or so McConnell senators get quite wealthy over time, and McConnell gains additional power and influence.

McConnell decides who takes committee positions, those committee positions are worth money to K-Street purchasers of legislation.  That’s one aspect to his power.

McConnell also hand-selects which senators will provide the votes to the majority to reach the 60 vote threshold.  He uses a formula of favoritism, loyalty and studies the election cycles to determine who in his tribe will sell their votes and gain.  That is the second aspect to his power.

If any of the republican Senators attempt to disrupt this UniParty business model McConnell excommunicates them from the legislative process; the best reference for the ‘excommunicado’ approach is former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC).

Additional references for how McConnell operates this scheme as the Minority Leader can be found in the Corker-Cardin amendment which allowed the Iran nuclear deal/payments under Obama; and/or the “fast track” Trade Promotion Authority deal for TPP passage, again for President Obama’s maximum benefit.

In these two examples McConnell worked with Harry Reid to flip the vote threshold from two-thirds (super-majority) need to approve, to two-thirds (super-majority)  needed to deny.  They flipped the dynamic in order to give Obama the tools he needed for the Iran deal and the Trans-Pacific-Partnership trade agreement (TPP).

[SIDEBAR – Within TPP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was again working on the priorities of U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue.   McConnell and Donohue have been working together on UniParty trade and domestic legislative issues for around twenty years. It is well established that Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has one major career alliance that has been unbroken and unchanged for well over two decades. That alliance is with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and specifically with CoC President Tom Donohue.

CoC President Tom Donohue represents Wall Street interests and supports: all multinational trade deals, open-border immigration policies, amnesty legislative constructs, and all of the issues that have generally irked common-sense GOP voters for the same period of time. [SEE HERE and SEE HERE]. Tom Donohue is the biggest lobbyist spender in DC every year, by a mile.

To remind ourselves how Minority and Majority Senator McConnell took down the threat of the Tea Party revisit these old articles CNN Part I and CNN Part II  both showcase how McConnell works.   Then do some research on how McConnell worked with Haley Barbour in Mississippi [SEE HERE] – END SIDEBAR].

Hopefully, now you can see how the business model within the senate is lucrative from a financial standpoint.  Selling votes from the minority position is worth a lot of money.  Additionally, the power dynamic is essentially even within this process.  The majority holds political and financial power…  and the minority holds enough political power to keep the majority in check (as well as mutually beneficial financial power).

For those who understand the dynamic the next obvious point is: what happens if Schumer takes the majority, eliminates the filibuster and takes legislative passage to a simple majority (51-votes)?  This is, after all, what the far-left has promised to do.

From McConnell’s position if the Democrats are the party that changes the precedent for Senate legislative passage, he feels it will provide him ammunition to retake control in the 2022 mid-term; and he wouldn’t be the historic figure to have changed the rules.

McConnell counts on the GOPe machinery (RNC), the purchased and allied Wall Street media, and his K-street backers to assist him in getting back in power.  The righteous donation requests from the political and financial class are always enhanced by the extremes and outrage.  If Schumer kills the filibuster and takes the senate to a simple majority McConnell will weaponize the maneuver against his “friend across the aisle”.

That’s the way the Machiavellian processes work….

Steadfast Doesn’t Mean When It’s Easy


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree house on December 29, 2020 by Sundance

Steadfast doesn’t mean when it’s easy; the term has no meaning when things are working according to our own convenient interests. Steadfast means standing strong when it’s challenging, difficult and unnerving. Just as courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is taking action despite being fearful; so too is steadfast a decision.

Often when things are disconcerting, we retreat to the place where we are comfortable. However, steadfast is unwavering despite the obstacles and difficulties. When we don’t hold the words to comfort the grieved, yet we show up and sit quietly just to eliminate loneliness, that is a steadfast commitment. When we see adversity on the face of another, and we choose to engage with our time and comfort, that is a steadfast decision.

When CTH was formed, it was a small assembly of misfits who were not fearless, but brave enough to be comfortable within our discomfort; and we knew we had to look deeply at the issues which face us. We remind ourselves that ‘truth has no agenda‘ & truth exists despite our feelings of the subject matter. The core elements of CTH are based on this principle of remaining steadfast amid the face of adversity, national, political or even personal.

The CTH armory is insightful, wise and often purposeful, but this assembly is foremost a fellowship.  A steadfast decision to stand together and figure out how all of these intense subjects, issues and events interact, influence and ultimately impact our lives.

Right now our nation is facing a time of extreme trepidation. Nerves are frayed, emotions are raw and individually we find our compass spinning in a way that destabilizes us. Into this climate the originating value of our core assembly becomes critical.  CTH remains steadfast & committed to the best hopes and solutions within us.  We strive with purpose.

Each day for over a decade we begin with a simple prayer.  We host a candle for those who need prayers and support, and we engage purposefully with the intent to cherish the value, wisdom and skills that each unique person brings to the subject matter being discussed.

My personal commitment toward that end has been to remain steadfast and unwavering in defense of this little corner of the internet.  To maintain a place where facts can be discovered, truth can be unearthed and honest discussion/opinion can be afforded.

In July of this past year, it was our CTH mission to ensure that people within the institutions of our government were aware of: (a) evidence of specific corruption; and (b) our knowledge about it.  It was during one of those briefing trips to DC when I recognized a serious disconnect between what the people within those institutions of government viewed as their role, and what We The People expected of them.

It was also the first time when I realized that internal corrective action was unlikely to succeed because the scale of corrupt activity was not simply based on intent, but also present because the absence of morality was metastatic throughout the system.

I’m certain there are good people in DC, but the systems surrounding them have lost their originating purpose.  The central function of U.S. government is now so corrupt the institutions regard ‘We The People‘ as the problem the people within the system must protect themselves from.

I quickly recognized the solutions to our national issues were never going to come from our requests to those who operate within the institutions.  However, even worse was the impact we were having on each-other due to our national frustration.  It was evident within our frustration – as a nation we are losing a sense of identity, unity and fellowship.

The only people who can change that dynamic is us.

We are ‘The People’ we have been waiting for; yet, the professional political class, purposefully walled-off within this corrupt system, are also purposefully blind to our assembly.  In order for the DC politicians to continue operating corrupt levers within a corrupt machine they must ignore the will of the same people they are supposed to represent.

President Trump represents ‘We The People‘, and as a consequence those within this corrupt system viewed his appearance with the same dismissive outlook they carry toward those who voted for him.

CTH (The Last Refuge) was founded upon this acceptance long before Donald Trump became president in 2016; and the actions by both wings of the UniParty congress over the past six weeks have been clear evidence of what we always knew was present.

Our current national challenge is to figure out a way to confront this dynamic and then deal with it.  However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic.  There are many disappointments around us, but we must remain strong and purposeful with any chosen direction.  Misplaced corrective action regardless of intent is neither prudent nor wise.

Above all, those who understand the larger issues must remain united and hold a sense of fellowship toward each-other if we are to overcome the challenges.  The purpose of using COVID fear as a strategic weapon to achieve division is evident.  Unilateral fiats can be an effective strategy deployed by those who benefit from division; we must counter this effort.

The fraud within the phrase “social distancing” not only creates distance between us but also creates a void of loneliness within the soul.  Into this void of isolation, fear takes hold and becomes toxic.  Thus the true value of fellowship is more important than ever.

Right now everything around us seems less focused on the pursuit of happiness and more focused on what happiness we are missing. At the heart of that anxiety is this sense of foreboding. A choking sense of fear and worry; a sense of trepidation.  Faith in a loving and purposeful God is now more important than ever, embrace it – share it.

This moment in history is where each person of strength holds a higher level of influence, and we should engage in the lives of others to show that strength. Right now people around you are looking for courage, optimism and hope.  If you do not provide that to your family, friends and community, you allow the alternative, despair, to take root.

Despair is the foreboding outcome of the same evil systems that create it.  Recognize despair when you see it, intercept it and eliminate it when you can… AND you always can.   Tend to the flickering flame of liberty & teach others, especially our youth, the skills to defend it.

Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.  We are a nation of liberty loving independent and free-thinking people; born under a compact to allow each to live their lives according to their own purpose. Do not abdicate the duty to advocate and protect individual liberty to anyone except yourself.  Your dreams are unique to you.

Stay strong for your family…

Stay strong for your community….

Stay strong for our nation… We need each-other.

Steadfast,

Sundance

Dear Treehouse,

[…] I have been saying for some time that America is at a tipping point.  Regardless of who is in apparent control of the Government (Executive, Legislative or Judiciary), there are forces at work that truly do lead to the creation of a “Uni-party.”  As the underbelly of the Uni-party has been exposed, those in control have become vulnerable.

The real prospect that God-fearing, hard-working, honest Americans are beginning to see how the system has been rigged to manipulate them is upon us.  Your dogged determination to lay bare the ugliness of what Washington has become is to be greatly admired. 

We have lacked true leadership for too many years.  This of course creates a vacuum and vacuums are dangerous because they allow false prophets to arise.  People are desperate for someone to lead and say that they can restore the values that we once held dear as a nation. 

Perhaps this is why your banner with the redhead staring at the gathering storm calls to me.  The storm is just off the shore, building energy, waiting to crash over all of us.  Yet, in the gathering darkness you have provided a light.  A beacon of hope in a dismal world.  A beacon which illuminates an alternative to the false choices of the Hegelian dialectic that is forced upon us all. 

May God keep and protect you as you gather and collate the evidence to lay bare the ugliness that has become government, as it is now practiced, and reclaim all that makes America truly great.  May the Holy Spirit guide you in your words and actions.  Know that there are many that believe in what you are doing and stand ready to do their part.  Remember that the darkness is always greatest before the dawn.  I am confident that a new dawn is about to break.

Although Trump failed to completely drain the Deep State Swamp, at least he removed all doubt that it exists.


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics.com DEC 29, 2020 AT 9:24 AM Communists Turn Up the Heat

It’s real and no longer a ‘conspiracy theory.’ The Swamp is composed of both elected and unelected decision makers, military men, bureaucrats, and mega billionaires who make decisions that directly impact our lives.

Also in existence are The Rockefeller, Clinton, Obama, and Gates foundations, which provide money, resources, and influence to sway citizens in favor of globalist goals. Then there are outfits such as the Tavistock and Pirbright institutes that push goals of control. Davos, the UN, the Bilderberg Group, and the CFR meet regularly and set goals that are unencumbered by something as quaint as voting. Yes, the Deep State Swamp exists. It is deep, vast, powerful, and very wealthy.

We know The Swamp and their operatives consider themselves above the law. They got away with an attempted coup against our president. They are shielded by over-paid, propaganda-spewing media giants who masquerade as leading journalists.

Silicon Valley can also be considered part of the Deep State. We did not elect Zuckerburg or Dorsey, but they think they can control our free speech. In 2020 they shamelessly censored Trump supporters, while supporting Biden by suppressing Hunter’s laptop scandal. Google makes sure controversial queries are directed toward information that they want you to believe. If you are searching for something that counters Google’s ‘official’ narrative, you probably won’t find it. You might find links that state what you’re looking for has been ‘debunked’ when it hasn’t been.

The Deep State Swamp overflows with corruption. They control much of our legal system, thanks to George Soros spending a fortune to buy out prosecutors and judges at all levels. The Swamp feels free to commit crimes at will and without fear of prosecution because our legal system is also corrupt. Sidney Powell exposed this very clearly in her book, “Licensed to Lie.” Only those who oppose the Deep State get prosecuted.

They Swamp dwellers are contemptuous of us Constitution-believing patriots. They see us as ignorant peasants—their tax slaves who must obey their laws and mandates. If we don’t obey we face fees, fines, and fire from their police forces. The Swamp’s politicians steal money from us and waste it on pork in order to get kickbacks. We pay for their crimes while they continuously strip us of our liberties. They want to control what we can say. They say our family gatherings are illegal. They want our guns. They want us to take dangerous vaccinations—by force if necessary. They think they are our royalty. We’re supposed to shut up and do as we’re told. “Wear that mask!” “Don’t go to church!” “Unlawful assembly!” “Keep your small business shut down—you aren’t necessary!”

They only care about themselves and protecting their own power. Many Americans already knew this—that’s why we elected Trump in the first place. In 2020, Trump won again—this time by a landslide. The Swamp didn’t care. They flipped the votes over to their ‘big man,’ Joe Biden, and brazenly stole the election.

The evidence for their crime is massive, but The Swamp doesn’t care. Their gaslighting media whores repeatedly say there is no evidence.

For years the Deep State has been slowly turning up the temperature on us citizen frogs. In 2020 the dials were suddenly all thrown on high. They pushed socialism. They supported and funded riots in the streets. They wanted our American history erased. Statues were pulled down. They rolled out a pandemic to separate us, mask us, silence, and impoverish us ahead of their outrageous theft of a presidential election.

2021 is nearly upon us. Time is running out. The criminal Deep State Swamp, aided by China, won’t allow Trump to get justice. Will their election coup stand? Will patriots in the military come to the president’s aid if he declares martial law? That remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, we Trump supporters burn with anger.

Will the ‘Crats succeed in stealing our country? Only if we let them


The elites think they can rule us in luxury from their walled estates while eating gourmet ice cream. The only way they can succeed is if we let them

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Don Rosenberg —— Bio and ArchivesDecember 29, 2020

The “‘Crats” are leading a coup against our government—Democrats, bureaucrats, Techno-crats, and billionaire-aristocrats. They think they can censor, bully, and steal their way into power, and run the United States just like the oligarchs in Russia and China’s CCP. What they fail to realize is that the people of the United States have freedom baked into our DNA which can’t be bullied by riots, a pandemic panic or political correctness intimidation, even after 30 years of “education reform” and a media that doesn’t report news, but instead manufactures propaganda.

What happens if we lose our democratic freedoms to the new oligarchs? One of the great things about our Republic is that if you don’t like the living conditions in one state, you can move to another. Where can you move to and still be an American if there are no free states left?

We’ve all seen the damage done in the formerly great state of California by one-party domination. It has led to massive increases in poverty, unemployment, crime, homelessness and disease. Those who can afford it are moving out of the state faster than U-Haul can keep up with. In fact, the price to rent a truck from L.A. to Phoenix is over ten times higher than the same truck going from Phoenix, to L.A.



Most Americans have figured out that our most cherished right—the power of the vote—is being stolen from us by the ‘Crats with the help of the ten corrupt inner cities and their Democrat bosses. Do Americans really support one-party rule?

Looking at the supposed November 3rd election “results,” the media claim that 74 million Americans voted for President Trump. Of the 81 million “votes” allocated to Biden, 44% of voters (or 36 million) say they were voting against Trump, but not the real man, just his media portrayal. Anyone can be made into a villain with four years of constant lies and baseless accusations.

Exit polls estimated that as many as 17% of these “voters” (or 14 million) say they would have supported Trump if they had known more about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the “Biden Crime Family” corruption it revealed. If you do the math, that would mean that only 31 million people actually voted for Biden, while 88 million supported Trump, and without the media lies, 36 million more would have stayed home instead of voting.

The ‘Crats are trying to hijack the richest prize of all—the United States. They include the 134 billionaires who donated to the Biden campaign.  Sixty-seven of them donated more than $100,000, while 98% of tech company donations went to Biden. They are supported by the Russian oligarchs, who have just pulled off the biggest computer hack in history, and China’s CCP, who poured $400 million into Dominion Voting Systems just a few weeks before the election. China has been waging a “quiet war” on the United States for the last ten years and seeks nothing short of world domination.

But, if the greatest crime in world history is finalized on January 20th, the ‘Crats will learn they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. They can’t dominate a country with 31 million supporters over the opposition of 88 million patriots and conservatives, including a record number of blue-collar workers, Hispanics, and African-Americans.

They don’t understand that this is the one country in the world that cannot be ruled by force or intimidation. The only way they can win is if we, the American people, cooperate in our own demise, and our DNA doesn’t allow us to give in to tyrants.

Just look at what’s already happening—online Americans, who have turned a few socially inept geeks into the richest people on the planet, are scrambling to find uncensored alternatives to Facebook, Twitter and Google. Bye geeks. Being able to code doesn’t make you God.

In California, the most popular political movement is the one to recall Governor Gavin Newsom from office. Which governors are next?

Throughout the rest of the country, restaurants and small business owners are banding together to resist lockdowns, while parents are fighting back against teachers’ unions and their refusal to hold classes in person. Others are organizing to resist any attempt to make unproven Covid vaccines mandatory.

Police officers, who have been so unfairly demonized by the media, are retiring early in massive numbers. There is a nation-wide nurse shortage, and fewer doctors are willing to treat COVID patients under guidelines that restrict their treatment choices.

The poorest Americans who have been forced to remain in cities where crime is rampant and the police can’t protect them are starting to protest as well. The city of Detroit has just filed suit against Black Lives Matter.

Saturday Jericho protests in state capitals and in Washington, D.C. have steadily gained in numbers despite a complete media blackout, and another massive rally is scheduled for D.C. starting on January 6th. Their goal is to pile political pressure on state governors and legislators to decertify the obviously fraudulent elections and “stop the steal.”

To the ‘Crats who think they can bully us into submission, we ask “What will happen when the farmers who grow America’s food decide not to sell it to the ten inner cities who stole their votes? Will teamsters continue to work or decide to park their trucks? Will red states stop selling their oil and natural gas to blue states? Will the police continue to risk their lives to protect Democrat-controlled cities whose leaders call them racists?”

The elites think they can rule us in luxury from their walled estates while eating gourmet ice cream. The only way they can succeed is if we let them.

Germany’s soft lockdown turns into hard lockdown in December  


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany Re-Posted Dec 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

In November, all restaurants and cultural institutions such as museums, opera houses, cinemas, and events had to close. Every day demonstrations take place against these restrictions. Just 10 days before Christmas, on December 16th, Germany added more restrictions with a second strong lockdown where all schools and the retail industry had to shut down again. Food deliveries and take away are permitted. Each of Germany’s 16 provinces manages further restrictions individually. In Berlin you are allowed to only meet with people of one further household, not exceeding a total number of 5 people. Children below 12 years are excluded. You are not allowed to leave your home without necessity.

Even though these restrictions apply until January 10th, German media already states that they will be extended until February. Many Germans are put again on short-work arrangements with an estimated cost of 20 billion euros for 2020 which is covered by the federal ministry of labor and social affairs.

Deutsche Bahn records a 9-billion-euro sales loss due to Covid-19 in 2020 

Germany’s 100% state-owned train company Deutsche Bahn AG is having its worst year since its foundation in 1994. DB AG owns about 600 subsidiary transportation companies. Due to travel restrictions, Deutsche Bahn AG recorded a 9-billion-euro loss this year. Starting in March, train bookings decreased to only 20%. Even during the winter holiday season, where normally all trains are packed, bookings only rose to 35%. Germany plans a financial aid of 5 billion euros, however, private competitors of DB AG feel a disadvantage as DB AG supplies its services to nearly 75 % of the market.

Is there Hope?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Q&A Re-Posted Dec 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hey Martin – I love the insights you have and Socrates seems to be spot on about most things. It’s just hard to read your blog posts. It seems like we all will have no choice but to submit to Communism 3.0. How do we fight this? You say they will lose in the end. How can we help bring that about? We all need a little hope out here. Is there anything we can do to hasten Gates/Schwab/Soros’ demise?

HC

ANSWER: The future certainly looks very dark. Let us hope it is darkest before the storm. We in the United States perhaps have the best resources to resist. Yes, crime is soaring because they have destroyed the economy. Gun permits are the #1 commodity right now. They have been using the universities to sell their agenda for the last decade. I would seriously refuse to pay for any education that is on the list of the World Economic Forum.

What we can do is look at the American Revolution as a guide. Thomas Paine’s most famous pamphlet, “Common Sense,” was first published on January 10th, 1776, selling out its thousand printed copies immediately. By the end of that year, 150,000 copies were distributed which was an enormous amount for that time. It is believed that about 33% of the population were in favor of the revolution. It was Paine’s Common Sense which is credited as playing a crucial role in convincing colonists to take up arms against England. While Paine argued that representational government was superior to a monarchy or various forms of oligarchies run by people like Bil Gates, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab – aristocracy.

Paine’s Common Sense proved to be so influential that John Adams (1735-1826) reportedly declared, “Without the pen of the author of ‘Common Sense,’ the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain.”

It is very hard to get the word out when the press is no longer free and conspiring with these modern oligarchs to impose Communism 3.0. Here we have what used to be one of the most prestigious newspapers, the London Financial Times, advocating the overthrow of Capitalism. They are joined by CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook just to mention a few.

We may see the first ray of hope emerging in France. They already had the Yellow Vest Movement organized so they are well ahead of the game at this point in time. In America, we at least have guns to defend ourselves against the tyranny which many other countries do not. We are probably at that same moment in time before the publication of Common Sense that grabbed the attention of the people. What we must be careful to distinguish was that in 1776, most Americans were free thinkers which we lack today. They had the courage to leave for the New World and there were no welfare handouts. These were independent people, unlike we have today. So we are probably at about 33% today in people who voted for Trump who will not stand for this corruption. Once that crosses 40%, the revolution becomes possible.

COMMENT: Well, unfortunately from my perspective I don’t see any way out of this mess. People are willingly surrendering their rights. Nobody is standing up. I see 99% compliance with everything. It’s the boiling frog analogy. Turn the heat up slowly one degree at a time and the frog doesn’t realize they are boiling. Will there be a spark that awakens everyone? Or will it be too late and we will already be in the abyss? People just don’t seem to care.

BV

REPLY: Most people who voted for Biden were clueless about the agenda. They bought into the whole hate Trump narrative. Talk to one and ask why Biden is better. There is nothing about qualifications, just that they do not like Trump. That leaves a huge door open and we are starting to see that in the Democratic Party as the majority want Pelosi out as Speaker of the House. There are a number of conservative Democrats who felt Pelosi disgraced the nation by tearing up Trump’s State of the Union address which is required by the Constitution when they already get a rebuttal on TV. Our greatest hope is that we will cross that 40% threshold with even Democrats who wake up and see that this is a foreign agenda – not domestic.

COMMENT: They are going to make life impossible if you don’t take the vaccine, aren’t they?

Spain will set up a “registry” of people who refuse to take the vaccine against Covid 19 and share it with other European union member states

REPLY: I have been warning that this vaccine for a non-deadly virus is being used to separate those who are the sheep from the independent thinkers just as Stalin did. They may not create work camps as did Stalin, but we have witnessed the use of camps to confine people requiring them to prove they do not have COVID to leave. Not every place is the same. Where Victoria is a lockdown like a prison, others have escaped fleeing to quarantine camps up north in Darwin. Schwab has used his contacts from Davos to move politicians to adopt his Communism 3.0 because they can no longer service or sell debt and will never again have to stand for elections. The entire system is collapsing and the Central Banks are screaming – they cannot continue to buy the debt forever! Creating these registries of resisters is intended to be able to arrest them at any point to prevent an uprising. This is why they will impose a health passport to deny travel without a vaccine.

COMMENT: Unfortunately, due to this bullshit, our gardener, a very strong 40-year-old thought he had covid when he had a blinding headache and sickness for 2 days so he stayed in bed.

It was a serious stroke

So he wasn’t treated early for it and now he’s touch and goes after brain surgery

Another victim of the bullshit

AB

REPLY: There are more people dying from the lack of healthcare. Immediately, no matter what, they start with the assumption it is COVID. People no longer die of things other than COVID, which is seriously being overstated.

Is a 3rd Party Inevitable?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Dec 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Not one major news outlet carried Trump’s address on the fraud in the election. Every outlet swears there is no evidence of fraud as if they are even believable anymore. Trump expanded the base for the Republicans which included African Americans who saw through the propaganda as did Hispanics. Trump proved that lowering taxes created an economic boom which resulted in a shortage of labor that produced the lowest unemployment in history for African Americans. Even Keynes said to lower taxes to stimulate the economy but socialists reject that option. Yet others bought into the manipulation calling Trump a racist yet still the Democrats losing seats in the House. Never has one party gained in the House yet the incumbent president lost

There is a major conspiracy theory emerging that the RV was not the source of the bomb but instead there was a drone attack to take out the facility which had connections with the Dominion Voting machine audit. This video suggests that the source of the explosion was not the RV and this is another move on the part of the Deep State to cover-up the manipulation of the election. I have no idea if this is true or not, but mainstream media is not showing this video as well and they are all putting out the same narrative that this man was a loner like Lee Harvey Oswald and Kennedy who was probably protesting against the 5G network. So he sacrificed his life for taking down 5G in a local area for 3 days? Unfortunately, when they lie about so many other things, then it results in people not believing anything they say – i.e. the boy who cried wolf.

What I do know is that this virus has been greatly exaggerated for political purposes. Minnesota politicians are saying COVID deaths have been exaggerated by 40%.  I have warned that they have been aware of our model and its accuracy over the past 40 years. The fact that we were warning about the rise in civil unrest with the War Cycle, the Monetary Crisis Cycle, the collapse in Central Banks, how they have Manipulated the World Economy, and the Sovereign Debt Crisis all converging at the same time, that this is simply unprecedented and that the West would decline with the financial capital of the world moving to China post-2032. None of these forecasts have been my preferred vision for the future. Here we have IBM rolling out an APP whereby you will NOT be allowed to ever travel again without a vaccine.

I have warned that we have a major crisis in politics that goes far beyond the 2020 election. I have warned that it looks like the Democrats will split in 2022, but looking at our models on the Combined Congress (Senate & House), it appears that there is a revolution coming. The peak in 3rd Party activity took place in 1854 which was the precursor to the American Civil War. On January 4th, 1854, Senator Stephen Douglas introduced a bill that sparked major debates related to slavery issues which became the Kansas–Nebraska Act. It was on July 4th, 1854, when Henry David Thoreau delivered his famous speech against slavery calling for action against the injustice of slavery within the Union. Two days later, in Jackson, Michigan, the first convention of the Republican Party was held after the split. About 2 Pi cycles later, at 4:30 a.m. on April 12th, 1861, Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter and less than 34 hours later, Union forces surrendered.

When we look at all our arrays on politics, it does not look good for 2022-2024. It appears that not merely will the Democrats Split, but it looks like the Republicans think they can get back to business as usual after ostracizing Trump and they are looking forward to getting rid of someone they never respected. We will see a small group of Republicans object to the Electoral College vote on January 6th. But it looks like the 3rd Party rising will be the disenchanted supporters of Trump who will even abandon the Republican Party for their treason.

It appears that the failure of Republicans to support Trump will also be their undoing. It is looking more and more like a 3rd party will emerge which is against the establishment and this new Triumvirate trying to overthrow the United States and impose their agenda of a New Green World Order will indeed inspire a revolution.

This Triumvirate and their coconspirators including BigTech, think that they can crush the economy, end commuting to reduce CO2, and rebuild the economy green after destroying small businesses and move shopping online while digital currencies eliminate traditional banking. They have failed to grasp even how the economy functions, but like Lenin & Stalin, they believe they can recreate the world economy to conform to their dreams. They will do the very same and restrict travel and reintroduce “papers please” to prevent people from gathering to rise up against their regime.

The longer it takes society to rise up against this tyranny, the less there will be left to return to. There is no way their New Green World Order will survive. They have failed to understand that what has created world peace is not a show of arms, but our consumer market. By destroying jobs, they have removed the one thing that created world peace – trade. As long as everyone benefited by selling to Americans, they would never bite the hand that feeds them. Destroy that consumer base and they destroy world peace
