COVID Vaccine Lawsuits Begin
Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Aug 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
NorthShore University HealthSystem in Chicago was sued by a nonprofit religious organization called Liberty Counsel. The group claims that NorthShore violated workers’ religious autonomy by dismissing religious exemptions and forcing all workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. NorthShore was in the wrong and decided to settle for $10,337,500.
Over 500 current and past employees will receive a payout, and the group will notify others of the lawsuits and give them the option to submit a claim. “NorthShore will also change its unlawful ‘no religious accommodations’ policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities,” Liberty Counsel stated.
Other groups will follow suit. They may have granted the pharmaceutical companies immunity, but there was a grey area for employers. Countless people lost their jobs due to the vaccine mandate, which likely was a violation of the Constitution.
Lawsuits may begin with large corporations, but if the Republicans regain control, health agencies and government officials may be investigated as well. This lawsuit is a major win for medical autonomy as companies will be less likely to comply with government mandates as they now know they could risk legal retaliation.
Geopolitical Nightmare
Armstrong Economics Blog/Geopolitical Re-Posted Aug 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
My mother died at 99. She had her wits about her til the end. Not everyone loses their mind. Henry Kissinger, I regard as the finest geopolitical analyst in history. That person in the Biden Administration who is the real president writing the scripts is only interested in climate change and the Great Reset. They pushed the sanctions against Russia, which have divided the world and ended the global economy. They are already preparing ways for us to eat bugs. Cricket powder is starting to show up in the food supply.
Meanwhile, there is absolutely no evidence that any sanction against a country has ever worked. Iran has been under sanctions for as long as I can remember. These morons are pushing the world into a serious geopolitical confrontation that will not end nicely. We have reached the 8.6-year turning point from the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution. This does not speak well for what we face in 2023. All I can say is I really hope the Democrats do not allow illegal aliens to vote. I fear that will spark a serious uprising, and then you will get a REAL insurrection — not a fake January 6th event to create publicity for the November 2022 election.
Senator Kyrsten Sinema Agrees to Senate Green New Deal Spending and Tax Proposal After Negotiating Minor Changes
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 5, 2022 | Sundance
Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema has announced her support for the senate climate change spending and tax proposal after some modifications to the new taxation.
To support the hedge fund donors, Senator Sinema insisted the carried interest loophole tax provision be removed and instead replaced with a corporate tax on stock buybacks. Any time a corporation wants to buy back their own shares of stock, they will now pay the U.S. government a tax for doing so; at least that’s the ¹intent.
[¹Note: taxing shares of company stock will never work, because that’s exactly what shell companies were designed to avoid. Set up a child shell company to purchase the stock and the parent company doesn’t pay taxes on the child’s purchase. It’s a shell game]
Additionally, according to reports, there is some kind of agreement to modify the 15% corporate minimum tax. Details unknown. Bottom line, Senator Sinema now supports the $700 billion climate change spending and tax proposal.
“We have agreed to remove the carried interest tax provision, protect advanced manufacturing, and boost our clean energy economy in the Senate’s budget reconciliation legislation,” Sinema said, signaling that she plans to vote to begin debate on the bill. “Subject to the parliamentarian’s review, I’ll move forward,” she said.

Tucker Carlson used his opening monologue tonight to discuss George Soros and the efforts of the Soros foundation to fund activist state prosecutors who will not enforce laws. The Soros agenda is an end-run around the U.S. constitution that empowers We The People to enact laws and rules of society through legislative representation.
By selecting prosecutors who will not enforce laws against criminal behavior, the Soros initiative subverts the voice of the people. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the first governor to use his state constitutional authority to remove an activist prosecutor. Tucker Carlson interviewed him immediately after the monologue. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:

AP Calls Arizona Governor Republican Primary for Kari Lake
Post originally on the conservative tree house on August 4, 2022 | Sundance
With ballots continuing to be counted in various counties around Arizona, specifically including the corrupt county of Maricopa, Republican candidate Kari Lake has extended her lead beyond the ability of Arizona election officials to remove it. The Associated Press calls the race for Kari Lake.
PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake, a former news anchor who walked away from her journalism career and was embraced by Donald Trump and his staunch supporters, won the Republican primary for Arizona governor on Thursday.
Lake’s victory was a blow to the GOP establishment that lined up behind lawyer and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson in an attempt to push their party past the chaotic Trump era. Lake said she would not have certified President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and put false claims of election fraud at the center of her campaign.
“The MAGA movement rose up like their lives depended on it,” Lake said as she declared victory prematurely on Wednesday afternoon, a day before the race was called, using an acronym for Trump’s Make America Great Again movement. “And it proved that you can’t buy an election, at least not in Arizona. We the people rose up and spoke.”
Robson, who is married to one of Arizona’s richest men, largely self-funded her campaign. She called the 2020 election “unfair” but stopped short of calling it fraudulent and pushed for the GOP to look toward the future.
[…] Former Vice President Mike Pence, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie all campaigned for Robson in the days before the election. (read more)
Coordination Between J6 Committee and Politically Motivated DOJ is Intended to Break Attorney-Client Firewalls in Trump Targeting Effort
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 4, 2022 | Sundance
The long-term motives and plans of the J6 committee and their coordination with the DOJ are starting to come into increased clarity as the mid-term elections draw near.
A key indicator of the strategy from within the J6/DOJ effort surfaced when the quasi-constitutional “committee” sent a subpoena to former President Trump legal counsel Pat Cipollone, then leaked the subpoena, then leaked the testimony, then shaped, edited and broadcast the testimony during their prime-time broadcast. After the J6 broadcast, attorney Cipollene was then subpoenaed by the DOJ and recent reports indicate he is being called to testify before a grand jury.
The legal strategy, hereafter called by what it is, a Lawfare strategy, is now clear.
The legislative branch, specifically the J6 committee, is attempting to use their self-created legislative legal authorities, to fracture long established attorney-client privileges, and then send the results to the DOJ for use against the client of the attorney. This explains the importance of former White House attorney Lisa Monaco taking up her position as Deputy Asst Attorney General.
The DOJ would be shut down by any ordinary court of jurisdiction, even in the heavily political Washington DC system, if they attempted to get a lawyer to give testimony about his legal advice to a client. It is one of the most basic tenets and legal privileges in our system.
Attorneys cannot be compelled to give testimony against their clients, it is a standard long accepted in our legal system. Any attorney who would break the confidence of the attorney-client privilege would lose their license.
Additionally, as the president, other privileges exist for President Trump, specifically the executive privilege to receive counsel or advice -from any person- on any issue that would pertain toward the administration of the executive office. The president needs to be able to receive information in confidence, and the people giving advice and counsel need to be able to speak freely without fear the content of the conversation would later be used by another entity not involved in the issue at hand.
By compelling testimony to a non-court of manufactured quasi-legal jurisdiction, such as the J6 committee demanding testimony from Cipollone, it now appears the resulting information is being transferred to the DOJ for use against Cipollone’s client, President Trump.
This is an example of lawfare at its worst.
The J6 committee demands testimony and asserts the testimony must be offered without conflict because the J6 committee itself has no criminal authority.
As the issue is argued, the witness cannot be criminally charged by the committee, therefore no criminal liabilities exist for the witness, therefore the testimony can be compelled by the committee (the legislative branch). However, what we are seeing is the committee being used as a legal shield and enforcement tool by/for the DOJ who could never -on their own- force the same testimony.
The result is President Trump legal counsel Pat Cipollone being compelled to testify before a criminal grand jury, and within that questioning he will be asked about about his prior testimony before the J6 committee. Essentially, this is one big Lawfare workaround; and likely a legal and constitutional issue that will end up at an appellate court level or higher.
Political elements within the legislative branch (J6) are colluding with political elements within the executive branch (DOJ), to fracture the constitutional protections that exist not only for presidents’ (exec privilege), but also for all Americans (attorney/client privilege).
In ordinary times, this approach would be a jaw-dropping controversy that would come under rebuke from everyone involved in the media and justice system.
What is being described, well, actually what is happening, is what happens in third-world banana republics when presidents of various political regimes take office and then target their opposition using the state police or military. What is being done under the auspices of the J6 committee and DOJ is an identical scenario using a longer approach that works around the foundation of the U.S. political and legal system.
More alarmingly, there is no one doing anything or saying anything to stop this process. The republican politicians in Washington DC are as willfully blind to the unconstitutional lawfare scheme as they are to the victims of the J6 FBI and DOJ targeting operation who are languishing in DC prisons.
No doubt former President Obama and his crew are laughing as they watch this play out, while the media cheer. After all, these are all former Obama officials who are carrying out the targeting operation. [ SEE WHY HERE ] The Republicans and Democrats created the Fourth Branch of Government as a political targeting mechanism. Both parties are now protecting themselves from discovery of its intent.

When Will the Baby Formula Shortage End?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Gov’t Incompetence Re-Posted Aug 4, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
It has been about a month since Abbott Laboratories reopened its formula plant in Michigan, but the US is still in desperate need of baby formula. The plant ceased operations in February after certain formulas were recalled for containing bacteria after infants became sick. Abbott had a huge 40% stake in the formula market within the US. The production plant was supposed to resume operations in June but this was pushed back a month due to flooding in the area. Certain states saw out-of-stock rates near 60% in July, but the national average currently sits at 30%.
The White House secured 17 Operation Fly Formula missions and imported enough powder to make 61 million bottles. The Defense Production Act was revoked to remove some tariffs, but this was a temporary fix. US consumers need enough formula for 65 million bottles per week. Experts now believe that the shortage will last into the fall months.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) failed to act in a prompt manner. Some of the red tape and regulations are to blame. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf testified in July, displacing blame from the FDA, and saying that they simply did not know. “No law requires manufacturers of these products to notify FDA when they become aware of a circumstance that could lead to a shortage of these products. Without this information, the Agency may have little or no insight as to when a major shortage may occur, preventing us from taking potential mitigation efforts until a crisis becomes apparent,” Califf said. He believed that formula availability to normalize in up to eight weeks.
An investigation shows that the FDA was first notified of formula contamination in December 2021. In fact, 128 complaints were filed between December 2021 and March 2022. The FDA certainly was aware of the contamination before they took action. The White House also took too long to respond as Biden did not invoke the Defense Production Act until May 2022, when 40% of formula was unavailable. This issue should have been solved months ago but persists due to government incompetence.
BMW Warns Investors of Lower Production Forecast, Incoming Factory Orders Declining
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 3, 2022 | sundance
Whenever we are discussing the intentionally managed decline of the western countries, it is important to remember the closely connected relationship between multinational corporations and the political leaders of those nations. Specifically, their public-private connections as they run through the World Economic Forum assembly.
An intentionally managed decline of western economic activity should have a direct impact on the private corporations within those economies. If the politicians are collectively going to stop energy development, raise energy prices (inflation), then use monetary policy to shrink the economy down to the level of energy available, we would normally think corporations were going to make less money.
That preceding paragraph is not controversial. It simply explains exactly what is happening; that is the situation. However, for some weird reason the system that evaluates corporate wealth is not responding negatively to the reality of the situation.
Traditionally, we would think destroying the economy would be against the interests of the multinational corporations who benefit from economic expansion. However, in the era of subsidized and controlled economic management, I’m not so sure the corporations are stakeholders in economic growth. Something is profoundly disconnected, or else the corporations would be raising hell with the politicians.
BERLIN, Aug 3 (Reuters) – BMW (BMWG.DE) lowered its output forecast and warned of a highly volatile second half on Wednesday, pinpointing supplies of energy in Europe and chips worldwide as the two crucial factors to the carmaker hitting full-year earnings targets.
New incoming orders were beginning to fall but order books remained filled for the next few months, chief executive Oliver Zipse said. (read more)
All of the basic indicators point in one direction.
Energy prices are squeezing consumers and paychecks. Energy driven inflation is high. Rising housing costs, food costs, gasoline costs and energy costs have hit the consumer hard. Credit card balances have jumped. Consumer sales on non-essential items have dropped. Factory activity around the world (Asia and Eurozone) is slowing or has stopped. Durable goods inventories have climbed everywhere, without customers to purchase them. All of these facets are happening exactly as we would expect.
However, the value of the companies negatively impacted by everything above, is not dropping at the same rate of the financial impact each company is incurring. It’s as if the entire financial system is pretending that things are not as bad as they are. This announcement from BMW is a good example of that.
Consider another example. According to the employment data, and even accepting the data is skewed, somewhere around 3.9 million jobs restarted or were created in the first six months of this year. Yet, despite that job growth the GDP declined -1.6% in the first quarter and -0.9% in the second.
How does an economy add almost 4 million jobs while simultaneously shrinking?
Either people are (1) less productive, or (2) working less hours, or (3) holding multiple jobs…. or a combination of the three.
Trying to filter through the economic noise to see beyond the horizon is becoming more difficult.
So, let’s bring this conversation down to Main Street. What do you see around you? What’s going on economically in your community?
Do you see lots of people in stores and shopping malls?
Do you see a lot of new purchases being made?
How are your family, friends and the people in your community being affected by this economy?
Excellent News, Senator Tim Scott Endorses Senator Lisa Murkowski
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 3, 2022 | sundance
This is excellent news because South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has long been a DeceptiCon hiding out and tricking most of the Tea Party republican base of voters for several years. Some completely fooled people have even promoted Tim Scott’s name for the presidency.
As an attendee to the 2016 Sea Island Summit, Tim Scott pledged his allegiance to his one true god, money. That is the only allegiance of the American Enterprise Institute. After his initiation he joined the ranks of the manipulative DeceptiCons in the senate led by Mitch McConnell. This endorsement is simply further evidence:
For those who are surprised and let down, cheer up. Look at the positive side of all awakenings.
Personally, I hope Donald Trump is paying attention.
The CTH track record for identifying the DeceptiCons, and their evolving motives, is well known. We don’t flinch.
Not a single Republican who has ever attended the Sea Island summits has held a position of value to the working-class voter within the Republican Party. Not one. A few of the stealthier characters, those who duck down in the seats before they reach the security gates, have fooled the voters (ie Tim Scott, Nikki Haley); however, as with all things conniving, their true nature always surfaces, eventually.
The people who attend Sea Island don’t give a rat’s ass if it is their Democrats or their Republicans who retain power. What they cannot and will not tolerate, is a rise of power to benefit middle-America, the working class. It has always been thus.
This is a very big part of the reason why we support Donald Trump.
Everything else is chaff and countermeasures.
