Australia Bans Ivermectin


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 264 Comments

If you suspect the extremely heavy-handed Australia/New Zealand COVID-19 mitigation efforts might be a beta-test for just how far a government can go to control the citizens therein, well, this latest development appears to be an affirmation in that direction.

The ruling authority in Australia has just banned doctors from prescribing Ivermectin.  The Advisory Committee for Medicines Scheduling and the Australian National COVID Clinical Evidence Taskforce, have determined that any effort to mitigate COVID-19 with therapeutics will likely diminish the goal of vaccinating the entire population.  Therefore Ivermectin, which has saved thousands of lives and is widely in use in multiple countries including India, is now official banned from use by Australian doctors.  Quite remarkable….

AUSTRALIA – Today, the TGA, acting on the advice of the Advisory Committee for Medicines Scheduling, has placed new restrictions on the prescribing of oral ivermectin. General practitioners are now only able to prescribe ivermectin for TGA-approved conditions (indications) – scabies and certain parasitic infections.  […] These changes have been introduced because of concerns with the prescribing of oral ivermectin for the claimed prevention or treatment of COVID-19. Ivermectin is not approved for use in COVID-19 in Australia. (LINK)

Consider this from Studies within the NIH:

♦ (STUDY – 1) “Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.” (LINK)

♦ (STUDY – 2, INDIA) “There were no severe adverse drug events recorded in the study. A 5-day course of ivermectin was found to be safe and effective in treating adult patients with mild COVID-19.” (LINK)

The Australian government is banning a therapeutic treatment with a history of success in order to force the citizens into a situation where they must take the vaccine.   Here comes the black-market.

White House Announces Vaccine Exemption for Illegal Aliens, Mandates on American Citizens Remain


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 303 Comments

As many have noted, the *entire* premise behind the Biden administration mandatory vaccine requirement for U.S. workers is political.  They are not even attempting to frame a legal or constitutionally valid basis for their unilateral proclamation.  Nothing about the policy is based on science, or even the possibility of executive authority.

The announcement on Thursday was a pure political ruse intended to stir support from the Democrat base, and distract from the mess they created in Afghanistan.  If the vaccine mandate wasn’t political theater, if they really believed in it, they would not be taking the visible approach seen today from the White House press secretary.

When questioned about American workers, being forced to take a vaccine under the auspices of public health – yet not requiring vaccines for illegal economic migrants, the administration shrugged and said: “that’s correct”.   Undermining their ’emergency health authorization’ premise would not be their approach if the White House really did believe they had a legal pathway to the mandate.   WATCH:

Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the Obama group organizing the objective.  He was installed as a disposable figurehead so they don’t have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Democrat Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.

That said, they cannot leave him wandering around the Rose Garden muttering to himself and still keep up the pretense of a presidency.  So, Chief of Staff Ron Klain threw Biden out front to push a political position doomed to fail because they need some appearance of support after millions of Democrats recently abandoned their Potemkin candidate.

Florida Appeals Court Reinstates Governor DeSantis’ Ban Against Mask Mandates in Schools, Parental Choice Affirmed by Decision


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 147 Comments

A Florida appeals court has ruled that Governor Ron DeSantis’ pro-choice school mask policy will be reinstated, and put a stay against a previous activist judge who attempted to block the executive order.  This is a freedom win for parents in Florida who will now have the option of having their kids wear masks or not depending on their individual choice.

FLORIDA – Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration won approval on Friday to put a hold on a Leon County judge’s ruling that said the state could not enforce a ban on strict mask mandates in schools.

The 1st District Court of Appeal agreed to a state request to reinstate a stay on Judge John Cooper’s ruling amid objections from a group of parents who said the move could cause “irreparable harm” to their children amid a rise of COVID-19 cases. The decision means the state can continue to punish school officials who impose mask mandates without a parent opt-out. (read more)

COVID Rules and Regulations are the Means to The End, They are Not The End Itself


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 446 Comments

The announcement by Joe Biden yesterday to force vaccinations amid the U.S. workforce was a case study in politics, and his mandate attempt will fail – period.  Be angry, be righteously angry.  Be resolute and determined.  This is the hill, but do not be fearful…  they will fail.

As we noted yesterday, it is likely the elitist goal of the crew behind Biden is to cleave society thereby destroying it. However, if there’s something I know about this crew – it’s how their hubris is their blind-spot.  They can never think clearly through the details of their dictates, because they have never operated/lived in the place where the outcomes of those dictates surface. They make rules that are never implemented within their own tribe; this fact makes them extremely vulnerable.

The announcement by the Obama Chicago Marxist group, through Joe Biden, will never succeed.  The U.S. Constitution does not provide the executive with the power they are attempting to exert; not even close.   Their arguments are weak, make no sense, are not framed in legal standing, and are easily dispatched in the courts.  The carve-outs themselves nullify most of their predictable arguments.  If the vaccine is required as a matter of urgent public health -under an emergency declaration- then why are any exemptions afforded, or groups exempted.

♦ Obama’s crew are the people behind Joe Biden.  That has been visible since the Democrat primary race in 2020, when Obama united the clans shortly before Super-Tuesday {Go Deep}.  Obama had to unite the clans because Bernie Sanders was going to win the primary, and Obama could not rely on Sanders to protect the team from their previous corruption {Go Deep}.  When I am asked who is actually behind Joe Biden, the simple answer is, “everyone who was kneeling in 2020“; because they were all at risk -yes, including the FBI- from their coordinated effort with the Intelligence Branch of Government. Bernie Sanders had no allegiance to the corrupt crew of intelligence operatives that Obama and Biden triggered to target Trump {Go Deep}.

When you see these Moonbats spouting unconstitutional demands and insufferable positions from the media punditry, remember they are all connected to the Obama regime.  Dig into them, and you will find the connective threads that tie them together. “Dr. Leana Wen appeared along side Barack Obama and Sanjay Gupta at a medical summit in 2016″, {Go Deep}.  Leana Wen is a groomed Chinese-Communist operator in the United States.

“Dr. Wen, was born in Shanghai, China, in 1983. She was known then as Wen Linyan (温麟衍). Dr. Wen and her family moved to the United States when she was 8 years old, and by age 13 she enrolled at California State University, Los Angeles, and graduated by age 18 with a bachelor’s in Biochemistry. She was a Rhodes Scholar and pursued a master’s degree in global health at Oxford University.

While she was growing up in Los Angeles, Wen’s father worked as an information technology manager for China Daily (known as World Journal by the Chinese), which is an English language newspaper installed by Beijing as a foreign-facing [communist] propaganda publication as the Cultural Revolution in China ended.” (read more)

WATCH:

.

The right to travel is indeed a fundamental right.  It is one of the many unenumerated rights that belong to We The People as part of our Republic which forms the assembly of our state government systems.  Dr. Wen and the Obama tribe are targeting the American constitutional system; that is why we are able to predict what their steps will take in sequence.

Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the people organizing the objective, so they don’t have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Communist, Marxist and Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.

It is not happenstance, or coincidental luck in guessing that CTH outlined in December of 2020 that Obama/Biden would use OSHA as the regulatory agency to attack the U.S. workforce system -writ large- under the guise of COVID mitigation.  When you know the goals of these communists and Marxists, their intents become predictable.

Joe Biden is an avatar; a political pawn; a cognitively declining guy who has no idea what is happening around him. The people behind Biden, those in real control of what this is about, have not hidden their goals and aspirations. These are not stupid people. They are scheming, conniving, ever-planning, ever-manipulating & Machiavellian types within the political system; lusting for power, influence and affluence.

What they are planning to do is weaponize COVID-19 to attain ideological objectives. This is why they hyped the fear within it for almost a year. Nothing within their plan requires the approval or consent of any representative body in Washington DC.

COVID is the tool to “fundamentally change” the way the United States exists. {Go Deep}

August Producer Price Inflation Shows Highest Increase 8.3% Since Tracking Began, Previous Record Was Last Month


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 95 Comments

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released the August review [DATA HERE] of producer prices for last month.  August rose 0.7% with cumulative results now showing an 8.3% increase in prices; the largest year-over-year jump in prices for final demand products in the history of tracking. The prior record was July with 7.8%.

Inflation is skyrocketing for consumer goods at all levels of production: Origination (commodity/raw material), Intermediate (Mfr/Wholesale) and Final products (retail).

In part, the extreme upward cost pressure from escalating fuel and energy costs are accumulating throughout the supply chain and surfacing in the prices of the finished products. We are all witnessing this in the prices at stores; especially in the quick turning products, like groceries (fast turn consumable goods), which reflect price increases the fastest.

Final demand prices moved up 0.7 percent in August, 1.0 percent in July and 1.0 percent in June. The year-over-year inflation rate on final demand products now stands at 8.3%.

MEDIA – […] “The data comes amid heightened inflation fears fed by supply chain issues, a shortage of various consumer and producer goods and heightened demand related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Federal Reserve officials expect inflationary pressures to ease through the year, but they have remained stubbornly persistent, with Friday’s numbers indicating that the trend likely will continue.

Excluding food, energy and trade services, final demand prices increased 0.3% for the month, below the 0.5% Dow Jones estimate. Still, that left core PPI up 6.3% from a year ago, also the largest record increase for data going back to August 2014.

Final demand services rose 0.7% for the month, thanks to a 1.5% gain in trade services, or the margins received by wholesalers and retailers. Transportation and warehousing costs surged 2.8%.

About one-third of the overall gain came from health, beauty and optical goods, which jumped 7.8%. Prices related to outpatient hospital care held back the gains, falling 1.5%.  Prices for final demand goods rose 1% for the month, pushed primarily by a 2.9% gain in foods which in turn came from an 8.5% surge in meat prices. Slaughtered poultry prices surged 11%. (read more)

The skyrocketing prices at the grocery store are predictable based almost entirely on Joe Biden’s pro-Wall Street and Multinational Corporation policies.  Main Street is getting hammered, and the working class is suffering as a direct result.

Their specific accountability for these outcomes is why the Biden administration is trying to distract and blame COVID-19 for supply chain issues.  However, it is not COVID driving the prices, it’s Joe Biden policies that benefit multinationals.  {Go Deep}

Food products are fast-turn consumable goods, and the inflation in the food sector is jaw-dropping already.  However, fresh and processed foods turn at different inventory levels.

Obviously fresh foods spoil fastest (think produce, fish, meats and dairy) so they are replenished more quickly, and the thin supply chain (field to fork) passes along increased costs fast. Processed foods have a longer shelf life (boxed, canned, frozen, etc), and as a consequence, have a much larger inventory level in manufacturing, warehousing and retail storerooms/shelves.  Within processed foods, there is a lag between cost increase at origination and that cost hitting the stores.

The problem identified within the current ‘producer price index’, is that price increases in the raw material and intermediate material are building into the supply chain.  Keep in mind, the entire supply chain is dependent on energy costs and the fuel prices that impact transportation.

The retail consumer supply chain for manufactured and processed food products includes bulk storage to compensate for seasonality.  There are over 800 commercial and public warehouses in the continental 48 states that store frozen products (2020 data).  The previously processed food price increases are currently reflected on store shelves (already hurting).  However, the coming processed processed food price increases will be much, much higher.  We will see even higher prices on processed foods in the supermarket.

The same price increases happen for restaurants, albeit faster as they follow the similar supply chain to fresh foods.

As we predicted last month, the BigAg multinationals (K-Street Lobbyists) made deals with their congressional sales-force for increases in government welfare payments (EBT and Foodstamps, WIC etc.).  BigAg lobbies congress for higher reimbursement rates so they can raise the prices of food and export domestic product to other nations.  Food assistance payments increase, and BigAg benefits.  In essence, BigAg takes the fed food subsidies and fattens their profit margin.  Then, they payback the politicians.  It’s a circle of money.

Less than 72 hours after we noted the BigAg deal was likely already done, the White House announced they were increasing Food Stamp and SNAP benefits by 25 percent.  It’s a rigged game, and we are suffering the consequences.   Or, put another way, “it’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.”

Hypocrite Biden & Abuse of Power


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court made it very clear that the President has no such power to bypass Congress using executive orders of this nature to mandate vaccines for all companies with 100 employees or more. The immediate solution is to simply transfer all employees to sub-corporations and/or make them independent contractors.

Worse still, the reasoning of Biden fails against real science, not Fauci science that is just instructions he gets from Gates and Schwab. He said:

“This is not about freedom, or personal choice,” Biden said at one point. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you — the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love … We cannot allow these actions to stand in the way of protecting the large majority of Americans who have done their part, who want to get back to life as normal.”

Even if vaccinated, you can still get COVID and you can still spread it to others. So there is NO POINT to getting the vaccination when this is an experimental claimed synthetic vaccine that has NEVER been approved or used previously because it has not proven to be safe in animals.

Even Israel is now finally trying to determine if there are any long-term side effects with so many people reporting problems and outright deaths from the vaccines. We have allowed Gates to vaccinate people BEFORE there is any real testing when we know this guy complains about overpopulation. Some people have had magnets cling to where they got the vaccination and others do not. Are we even sure that some of the vaccines may be different? Only the Israeli government seems to be doing some investigation. Vitamin D deficient people seem to be the ones that die according to their studies.

This is all about trust and nobody will investigate anything and they try to silence anyone who dares to question the narrative. Biden is allowing Schwab to impose the Great Reset on America.  I do not Trust Gates. The way he ran Microsoft and his actions against Netscape showed his true character and that is why the Justice Department was going to break up Microsoft but the compromise was he stepped down. Now this man controls the health of the entire world? Sorry, I choose the Blue Bill – not the Red.

Biden Takes Action on this Questional Virus


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden has withdrawn any exception for a vaccine if you are a government worker or a company that does any contract work for the government. Sources in Washington say they are even looking into requiring children under 12 to be vaccinated. What the Democrats are doing is trying to impose a denial of any federal funds for anyone who refuses to be vaccinated despite the fact that even if 100% of the population of the world is vaccinated, it will NEVER stop covid from mutating within animals and returning each year. What is most disturbing with this virus is the fact that people were contracting it outside of the flu season.

They seem to have been well aware of our computer’s forecast since I have been screaming at them around the world since 2011. They appear to be stepping up their game to launch into this authoritarian mode. Our political models show a PANIC cycle next year. Honestly, it is hard to see how this type of environment will last even into the end of 2022 without it turning violent.

I have explained that if a virus co-exits in an animal reservoir, then no vaccine will EVER eradicate it as they are pretending. Here is a direct quote from medical journals on influenza.

“Belonging to the Orthomyxoviridae family, they have a genome made up of eight segments, which together code for ten proteins [2]. Strains can be separated into types A, B, and C. The present review deals exclusively with influenza type A. While types A and B are responsible for the majority of morbidity and mortality, type A is the only one with pandemic potential [3]. This is because type A is the only strain with an animal reservoir. Aquatic birds and swine are important reservoirs for influenza A, presenting obstacles to eradication and providing opportunities for viral mutation and reassortment “

id/section 2

Note that even in the flu, we hear of bird flu and swine flu. As long as a virus has an “animal reservoir” all these restrictions are absolute nonsense insofar as eradicating COVID. President Joe Biden will direct the Department of Labor to develop a rule that companies with more than 100 employees will require vaccinations or once-per-week testing for their workers. Biden is becoming a THREAT to national security for he is now taking his speeches from the World Economic Forum. He should really be removed from office. The only way to fight now is like the Australian truckers – simply refuse to work and bring the government to its knees. If they do not have food, they cannot pretend to rule. Or will he send in the troops to take over airlines and trucking as Truman did?

Truman believed that because the U.S. was at war and the steel industry played such an important role in national defense, more direct government action was needed and, like Bidem, he acted unilaterally by executive order bypassing Congress. On April 29, only weeks after President Truman issued his executive order, U.S. District Court Judge David A. Pine ruled that the steel mill seizures were “illegal and without authority of law.” On June 2, 1952, the Supreme Court, by a 6–3 margin, ruled that President Truman’s seizure order was unconstitutional (Youngstown, Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579). Justice Hugo Black, writing the majority opinion, concluded:

“The Founders of this Nation entrusted the lawmaking power to the Congress alone in both good and bad times.”

If the Korean War did not grant extraordinary power to act by executive order, then neither does COVID! Biden should be removed from office – NOW!

The ECB is the Reason We Have the Great Reset


Armstrong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The European Central Bank (ECB) has kept its monetary policy unchanged. However, it did slow down the pace of net asset purchases under its pandemic emergency purchase program. The ECB’s main refinancing operations remain at 0%, on the marginal lending facility at 0.25%, and on the deposit facility at -0.5%. The ECB said that it believes that “favourable [sic] financing conditions can be maintained with a moderately lower pace of net asset purchases under the (PEPP) than in the previous two quarters.”

The junkies think what the central banks have to say is still relevant and are eagerly waiting for word to come down from above to see if their unwinding of pandemic-era stimulus in the face of surging inflation would take place. That seems like reading a nice bedtime story to the kids so they sleep with pleasant dreams. The ECB reiterated that interest rates will remain at their present or lower levels until inflation is seen reaching 2% “well ahead of the end of its projection horizon and durably for the rest of the projection horizon,” and until the ECB determines that inflation will stabilize at 2% over the medium-term.

It is really extraordinary to think that there will ever be a return to normal. The ECB has had negative interest rates since 2014. The Federal Reserve warned the ECB that they could get trapped. The warnings were coming in, and even in 2016, the London Evening Standard warned of the black hole of negative interest rates. This entire Great Reset is now due to the fiscal mismanagement of governments and central banks. Those who still think there will be some return to normal finance are no doubt those wearing masks and lining up for booster shots every six months. They can’t wait for the new Pfizer daily pills as well and are ready to listen to Bill Gates and never buy beef again.

Since the ECB moved to negative rates in 2014, here we are approaching 8.6 years, which is coming up in 2022 when everything just goes bang.

Civil Unrest in Europe Rising


https://videopress.com/v/JWeyV4Kc?resizeToParent=true&preloadContent=metadata

Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

This is Bern, Switzerland. Those in power are clearly using COVID to facilitate their financial crisis, which is right on target for 2022. Even in Italy, they are now turning against their own unions, for they have simply been bought and no longer defend worker’s rights. The demonstrations in Italy are escalating, and this is all coming to a head next year. This is the Great Reset, simply because they can no longer borrow and fund all the pensions. The next stage is simply to move toward an authoritarian government, for it is now just about them retaining power. The police are bloody idiots, and everything will depend on them. In the USA, they have deliberately used racism to demand the government DEFUNDS THE POLICE. These people are idiots, as the real agenda is to replace local police with a federal police force with no local connections — they are following the playbook from the Nika Revolt.

In Italy, they are protesting, even yelling, “Assassinate!” The Italians have never been afraid to protest. They are going to have to protest to escape from the clutches of Mario Draghi and the EU under the control of the World Economic Forum.

Meanwhile, Alitalia, Italy’s #1 airline, is on strike because of the COVID mandates. They are rejecting their own union, which has been bought out from above.

It is just amazing how blind so many people are. They think if they mandate vaccinations, then they will get their life back. The lack of independent thought is astounding, and common sense appears to be actually rare.
