On September 9th, Joe Biden made the announcement that all employers with more than 100 workers would be required to enforce a national worker vaccine mandate. The White House stated that OSHA would, “develop a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated.”
However, following the announcement we noted OSHA was not taking any steps needed to engage with business interests to trigger the first-step in the organization of a process to initiate a rule-making process.
I’m only talking about the basic guidance aspect. The labor discussions with internal and external customers of the DoL, OSHA, etc. to set a calendar for how to implement “guidance”, just that part. There was nothing, and there is nothing.
Finally today, three weeks later, a stenographer for the regime asked the question. Pay close attention to the White House response: [13:45 Prompted] WATCH:
As noted in the obtuse response, the White House has no idea what the current plan is for OSHA to create this rule that will require a national mandate for private sector workers. The emphasis is on voluntary compliance as an outcome of the decree that a mandate would be forthcoming.
Folks, this looks like a complete con job, pushed by the Biden administration to provide cover for corporations to create a mandate on their own. Meaning the intent of the announcement was to create momentum for increased vaccinations, while the Biden regime never did or does intend to use OSHA as a national enforcement mechanism.
There are three elements: (1) Federal worker mandate; (2) Federal contractor mandate; and the big controversial one, (3) a national worker mandate for companies with over 100 employees.
Focusing on #3, the big one. The only material from the White House on the BIG CONTROVERSIAL national worker mandate is a small paragraph on the WH COVID PLAN section:
That’s it folks. Three weeks later, and that’s the sum total of everything about the biggest economic and workforce disruption in the history of the nation. That one paragraph posted on September 10th.
Why is this important?
Well, the U.S. Department of Labor website has ZERO mentions of this national mandate. ZERO, nothing… nada, zilch. [SEE HERE]
Looking at the OSHA COVID information portal, used by employers and legal execs, will show you the exact same result. Nothing. [SEE HERE]
Notice there’s no date for DoL or OSHA delivery of any employer guidance or details. Nothing.
Think about this. This is the largest nationwide change to employment eligibility requirement in U.S. history. Nothing else is even close… and yet, if you didn’t watch the Biden announcement or read the media discussion about the Biden announcement, you wouldn’t be able to find a single detail about it – anywhere.
This is not normal; not even close to normal… even for the federal government.
If there was a federal intent to actually force American workers to get forcibly vaccinated as a condition of employment, there would be daily updates from a massive inter-agency network of compliance offices, regulatory agencies and private sector business interests giving updates and briefings. And yes, that pertains only to the anticipated guidance part, not to the actual setting of a deadline and working through the implementation phase of the national mandate.
I’m only talking about the basic guidance aspect. The labor discussions with internal and external customers of the DoL, OSHA, etc. to set a calendar for how to implement “guidance”, just that part. There’s nothing.
The absence of even a scintilla of material to indicate the White House or any federal agency is organizing an action plan of how to structure the guidance itself is telling. The silence of the machine tells us it is not turned on. The bureaucracy has not been triggered. The machinery of the federal government has not been instructed to begin any process to execute on the instruction that OSHA will, “develop a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated.” Nothing.
The silence is deafening.
It appears the Department of Labor has no intention of ever even triggering the process to get OSHA to begin evaluating how they could even begin to pull this off…. and again, for emphasis, I’m only talking about the tiny step of delivering initial guidance to employers that would indicate to them that OSHA was developing a rule.
There’s no deadline for OSHA to generate the guidance – and there’s certainly no deadline for the OSHA rule itself, which will come as an outcome of that initial guidance part.
Some have speculated that Joe Biden’s big White House announcement was nothing more than a distraction. There’s no way for them to ever get over the hurdles that would come from immediate employer backlash on the federal mandate; and they have no intent on even trying. Meaning, it was all a big distraction -never intended execute- and always intended to clear the national conversation of all Biden-centric controversies and reset the administration.
That speculation looks exactly correct.
If 80 million Americans are unvaxxed, and even if only a quarter of those are Main Street employed, the entire social and economic system would grind to a halt if 20 million heavily productive people quit working for 100+ employee companies and went to work much smaller operations. Remember, this is the workforce that was called “essential workers” last year. They were essential for a reason.
A grocery chain cannot lose 20 essential people per store, + warehouse and distribution, and still function. A WalMart cannot lose 50 essential workers per store, + warehouse and distribution, and still function. A hospital or hotel cannot lose 20 to 50 essential workers per operation and still function.
Ford? GM? Auto-workers in general? Labor Unions? AFSCME? SEIU? Police, Fire, Emergency First Responders? I cannot see a reasonable scenario where the national worker vaccination mandate is even feasible with an eligible 80+ million unvaccinated holding out.
A week after the announcement CTH said, “I would not be surprised to see nothing more ever said about this “National Employment Vaccine Mandate””, and indeed, until today nothing was ever said about it. When questioned today, the White House says that private companies are already moving forward “on their own” without federal rules in place for enforcement.
That now looks like it was the intended plan all along.

It’s one of the stupidest displays of government incompetence and ideological knuckleheadedness in recent history. A New York state healthcare provider, operating a week ago without issue, is now forced to stop offering healthcare services today. Why? Simply because the government has mandated a vaccine requirement that many workers within the industry are uncomfortable with.
The issue is not just a shortage of doctors and nurses. Everyone including: janitors, cafeteria staff, administrators, phone operators, clerical staff, coders, IT staff, receptionists and customer service staff within the healthcare industry is impacted. If they didn’t take the jab, they’re fired.
Yet, somewhere in the twisted logic and ideological worldview seemingly devoid of commonsense, the proponents claim it’s for the benefit of public health to enact policies that shut-down services providing for the public health. Take this example:
(New York) Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse will temporarily close 22 of its 35 operating rooms starting Monday in anticipation of a growing staff shortage due to New York’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate.
The hospital had already postponed elective surgeries as a result of chronic staff shortages during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, priority will be given to surgeries that are medically necessary, time sensitive or involve critical-care trauma cases, the hospital announced Friday. Those surgeries will be consolidated into the 13 open operating rooms. (read more)
What will be the likely outcome? An excessive death toll, as people can no longer get treatments or diagnoses for conditions that are unrelated to COVID-19. The data has already emerged, in the controlled healthcare system within the U.K., where they are seeing an unusual spike in deaths due to undiagnosed and untreated illnesses. 18 months of delayed treatments in the socialized system of British healthcare are starting to take a toll.
(U.K) – While focus remains firmly fixed on Covid-19, a second health crisis is quietly emerging in Britain. Since the beginning of July, there have been thousands of excess deaths that were not caused by coronavirus.
[…] According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), since July 2 there have been 9,619 excess deaths in England and Wales, of which 48 per cent (4,635) were not caused by Covid-19. (read more)
It could be possible that a cleaving of the healthcare industry, amid Vaxxed and Non-Vaxxed workers, may lead to a private system, cash payment, healthcare system in the U.S. where services are provided by both sets of healthcare workers. However, that approach is likely to be more of a black market operation, because the regulatory and licensing boards continue to put maximum pressure on the system.
A protest in Vancouver is lining up to boycott Earl’s in Vancouver who allegedly called the cops and had a man arrested for not having a COVID Passport. Indeed, if vaccinated people can still get and spread COVID, then what is the point behind COVID Passports? The unvaccinated would be the ones at risk – not the vaccinated. So something does not add up.
Abbott & Costello’s famous skit “Who’s on First Base.” Updated to COVID
Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’
Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’
Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’
Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Yes.’
Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’
Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’
Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’
Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’
Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’
Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.
Bud: ‘Ok.’
Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’
Bud: ‘That’s right.’
Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Certainly.’
Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!’
Bud: ‘I’m just telling you how it is.’
Lou: ‘Nevermind. I’ll just put on my mask.’
Bud: ‘That’s fine.’
Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’
Bud: ‘Absolutely not?’
Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’
Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’
Bud: ‘I know.’
Lou: So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’
Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’
Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’
Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’
Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’
Bud: ‘Correct.’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’
Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!!’
Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’
Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work!’
Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’
Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’
People must understand that just as a small business wants to expand and grow bigger, that same human tendency exists in government. No matter what form, they will always try to expand their power. The United Nations has been the greatest threat to humanity since Adolf Hitler. They have justified expanding their dreams of world power to bring peace to the world with one government. For years, the IMF has been part of this same agenda. They have sought to replace the sovereignty of the nation-states with a one-world government, and this is what is really behind this COVID and climate change agenda. This “world government,” they argue, should dictate financial policies to nation-states. They want the world to pay taxes to them, not governments.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstgrong, I attended the WEC last year for the first time. Everything you laid out came true. You were saying the Euro would peak by February and we were looking at a dark period into September to October. What I am amazed at is that your computer gets the timing correct and you would think that every newspaper would have you on their front page. You have the best track record of anyone. Why does not one of the major financial press from Bloomberg, WSJ, London FT, etc, ask how you do it? With Schwab’s Fourth Industrial Revolution and AI, you have solved the problems but they are silent. Why?
LK
ANSWER: I believe that they are not interested in AI when it is forecasting that they will lose. If you used Socrates to manage the world economy, it would NOT be advising on manipulating everything. Instead, it would reveal how everything works. That threatens the academic economic establishment, for they believe that their role is to control the economy as did Marx and Keynes, not observe it like Smith and Ricardo. Then all the analysts they put on TV all the time offer their “opinion,” whereas I am providing the computer forecast. People try to argue I am wrong, opinion v opinion, but I say when it is just my opinion, and the forecasts are the computer.
All this talk of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is only celebrated to give people like Schwab and Sorors hope that they could live forever by just making new body parts as needed. The real dream of their AI is to control the world and be immortal.
This seems to be the movie “Elysium” where they keep the Great Unwashed below and seek immortality in manufactured worlds. It is inconsistent to claim they will push the Fourth Industrial Revolution to help all humanity when simultaneously they hold secret meetings on how to depopulate the world. Who is writing these movies? Them? Or are they inspired by these movies and say, that’s a great idea?
The German elections are today and once more, like Canada, we will see a political outcome that reflects a very flawed political system. There are so many parties and the vote will be fragmented more than ever. The election winner who gets the most votes will, of course, need at least one other party to form a viable coalition. There should be a run-off with a second election that pits the two highest winners against each other and the people should be forced to vote in this manner. I need not remind people that Adolf Hitler won with just 31% of the vote.
The most likely partners for both the SPD and the CDU/CSU are the Greens. Either way, Germany will continue to fall down the rabbit hole. The Free Democrats are business-friendly. Some fear the worst government in history would be the remote possibility is a left-leaning coalition of SPD, Greens, and the anti-capitalist Left party. The right party of the Alternative for Germany would be the only party that would ever do anything to bring Germany back to its sense but they are painted as Nazi extremists. Unfortunately, Germany leans to the left so far that this dooms Europe as a whole and the dream of Euroland.
As I have said, all you have to do is look at the social result of the left. The further a nation moves to the left, the more they oppress entrepreneurship and earning money which reduces economic advancement. There was NOT a single innovation that ever came from Communist Russia or China other than the expansion of nuclear weapons and Russia desperate for the space race to try to prove their form of government worked.
There was a 5-year-old boy who saw a limo drive by and turned to his mother and said, “see ma, that will be me”. Children have grown up and headed for the big city to make their fortune since ancient times which is why Rome reached a population of 1 million by the 2nd century AD. That was not achieved again until London in the Victorian Age. You go to LA and there were always beautiful girls as waitresses all there looking for their acting break to become famous. Others went to Harvard, Yale, or Princeton more for the connections and having a degree that was worth more than Trenton Community College.
The “rich” always inspired people to strive to be like them one day. The ones that could not and resented that become the left, jealous and filled with hatred out to destroy the accomplishments of others. This nonsense about “equality” and “inclusion” are words like the icing on a cake. The only equality is FREEDOM for we all have the same human rights. But one person earning more than another is humanity. We are all different and our talents are not equal. The danger is when someone like Bill Gates uses his wealth to try to control the world or Klau Schwab tries to impose his will upon everyone else. These are the real criminals I believe who exploit their wealth to harm society and that should be a crime.

Congressman Devin Nunes appears with Maria Bartiromo (Fox News and Council on Foreign Relations member) to discuss the recent indictment of Michael Sussmann, a Clinton lawyer who was identified as manipulating information to the FBI to fabricate an investigation against Clinton’s political opponent, Donald J Trump.
Nunes outlines how the indictment shows Hillary Clinton and crew fabricated the entire Trump-Russia narrative as an effort to smear Trump. Many of those same political operatives are now in key positions within the Biden administration.
Additionally, as the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Nunes discusses how the U.S. intelligence community is working against the interests of transparency toward the origin of the COVID-19 virus, and the purposeful expansion of the IRS as a mechanism to target the American electorate.

A remarkable contrast video shows the words the Australian Prime Minister delivered during the United Nations General Assembly, while contrasting the brutality that Morrison’s various police units are unleashing in the streets all around Australia.
The original version of this video is being throttled by Google [SEE HERE]. However, a Rumble Version has been uploaded. The video used to overlay the speech is actual news footage from the past five days in Australia.
In virtually every large metropolitan area in the country, State Police, Riot Squads and jackboots can be found beating citizens who leave their homes or refuse to show their approved transit papers. Australians, who attempt to protest the COVID lockdowns and forced vaccinations, are subject to being shot, beaten, arrested and in come cases of female victims, sexually assaulted by police officers. Australia has descended into totalitarianism, and is now easily the most dystopian state in the former free democratic world.
The Taliban in Afghanistan are mild compared to the police units operating in many cities including Melbourne and Sydney. Checkpoints are commonplace everywhere, and quarantine camps for the non-compliant have been established. It is beyond absurd.
