Mental Health Pandemic


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted May 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There is what many in psychology are calling the Shadow Pandemic. Depression among teenagers is widespread. They cannot cope with the lockdowns, and there is no consideration for their mental health coming from Fauci, no less any politician or those pulling their strings like Schwab and Gates. The Mayo Clinic has warned: “During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, you may experience anxiety, fear, frustration, sadness and loneliness — to the point that those feelings become constant and overwhelming.” These are the pressures that lead to suicide. The National Library of Medicine wrote:

“Multiple lines of evidence indicate that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has profound psychological and social effects. The psychological sequelae of the pandemic will probably persist for months and years to come.”

This is the problem when politics gets involved with medicine because no matter the truth, the politicians cannot now admit they are at fault for adopting lockdowns. There has been a dramatic rise in the number of people contemplating suicide. Teenagers see their future gone and over 3 million have dropped out of college. Many adults have lost everything from their employment to the idea of even retiring. I have heard from people in the airline industry, banking, and hospitality. They have lost their futures. Waitresses have lost income and have been unable to resume school. The destruction unleashed by our so honorable politicians who impose restrictions to please those pulling the strings from above is not beyond belief.

These career politicians who have championed the lockdowns are engaged in more than just corruption and greed — they are engaging in the destruction of our civilization and crimes against humanity. When we have Panic Cycles in politics showing up in 2022 and 2024, we are facing a serious fight for our lives which has not appeared since the 18th century when people rose up to overthrow the monarchy. We have simply replaced the king with ministers who vote according to the highest bidder.

May 8th – Revolutions?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted May 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There is just TOO Much going on around the world in every corner from really violent protests that appear more like revolutions to claims that a major pipeline covering 45% of the States may have been cyber ransomed. Then the EU is proposing a one-time massive property (wealth) tax which could change everything. This is just chaos and we just have to see what unfolds in the coming week. This appears to be a turning point rather than a conclusion with some single event.

Face Book 32% of Global Population


Armstrong Economics Blog/BigTech Re-Posted May 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There is a massive campaign unfolding against Facebook. The biggest and most stupid mistake they made was to take sides in politics by banning and canceling anyone with who they disagree. Besides all of that, Facebook has invaded people’s privacy like no other platform. They track everything you do and sell that info to the highest bidder. The number of active users of Facebook (those people who have logged onto the site in the previous month) has reached a historic high of  2.45 billion. To put this in some context, approximately 32% of the global population now uses the social media platform, and the trend line of participation is still going up. About 63% of American adults are on Facebook and 65% of the youth.

Back in 2004, when a 19-year-old Zuckerberg had just started building Facebook, he sent his Harvard friends a series of instant messages in which he marveled at the fact that 4,000 people had volunteered their personal information to his nascent social network. “People just submitted it … I don’t know why … They ‘trust me’ … dumb fucks.”

In 2019, Facebook was ordered to create new layers of oversight for its collection and handling of users’ data by the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC detailed a privacy settlement with the social network. Still, the FTC buckled to the lobbying power of Facebook. The F.T.C.’s commissioners approved the restrictions in a 3-to-2 vote but drew very sharp criticism for not going far enough. The FTC utterly failed to curb the data collection of the world’s largest social media company. Republican and Democratic lawmakers even said that the settlement was a drop in the bucket for Facebook, The FTC failed to limit a core practice that has repeatedly raised privacy questions, and since they have ventured into manipulating elections precisely as the Russians were accused of back in 2016. The people simply being victims of this cancel culture is growing exponentially.

So just how stupid are people? It seems to be very stupid. Back in 2018, the Observer revealed how Cambridge Analytica, a company funded by conservative billionaire Robert Mercer, acquired and exploited the data associated with 50 million Facebook profiles. It appears that while Facebook had been aware of what the Observer described as “unprecedented data harvesting” for two years, it did not notify the affected users.

Important Maricopa Ballot Update – GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward Discusses Sec. Of State and DOJ Coordinating to Derail Audit


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 6, 2021 | Sundance | 30 Comments

After the DOJ Civil Rights Division sends a letter to the Arizona state senate, Arizona Chairwoman Kelli Ward gives an update on the coordinated democrat shenanigans.

As Ward notes, the Democrat Arizona Secretary of State is coordinating with the DOJ in an effort to block the audit from continuing.   The auditors and the State senate need our support as the feds start to target the effort.  Unfortunately, I suspect that somewhere, sometime, at some point in this battle, the legal fight is going to end up at the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Veterans Memorial Coliseum CCTV system remains active [SEE HERE]  as a public security and integrity issue.

Additionally, THIS is the official page of the Arizona Senate Liaison for the Maricopa County Election audit. “Under the direction of The Honorable Ken Bennett, former Arizona Secretary of State, an audit is underway to ensure transparency and integrity in the Maricopa County, AZ 2020 election audit.”

President Trump Congratulates Windham, New Hampshire, For Their Fortitude in Organizing 2020 Ballot Audit


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 6, 2021 | Sundance | 48 Comments

A long way from Maricopa Arizona, a similar ballot recount battle has been underway.  In the latest local developments the election board was taken to task by a committed group of residents in Windham, New Hampshire.   The citizens fought hard for an audit team they could trust.  The result was a third auditor with strong credentials has been successfully appointed by the previously reluctant board.

President Trump congratulates the commitment of the citizens of Windham for demanding an audit after sketchy ballot returns -reported by electronic counters- just did not add up to what the election night vote showed:

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Congratulations to the great Patriots of Windham, New Hampshire for their incredible fight to seek out the truth on the massive Election Fraud which took place in New Hampshire and the 2020 Presidential Election. The spirit for transparency and justice is being displayed all over the Country by media outlets which do not represent Fake News.

People are watching in droves as these Patriots work tirelessly to reveal the real facts of the most tainted and corrupt Election in American history. Congratulations Windham—look forward to seeing the results.”

Here’s the details:

NEW HAMPSHIRE – A statistics professor has been named as the third and final member of a panel facing a May 27 deadline to audit the November 2020 state representative election in Windham.

“We will do our work in such a way that nobody will have to trust any of us,” Philip Stark of the University of California, Berkeley, said Wednesday. “They can look at what was done, rather than who did it.”

A hand recount about three weeks after election night determined that the four Windham Republicans running for House seats each received about 300 more votes than were reported from automatic AccuVote counting machines. Gov. Chris Sununu last month signed the legislation that mandates the forensic audit.

[…] The audit team will work in the New Hampshire National Guard’s Edward Cross Training Center in Pembroke, the state’s attorney general and secretary of state announced Wednesday.

There will be limited space in the facility for observers and the media, but the proceedings will be livestreamed online at doj.nh.gov. (read more)

Parents Have Had Enough – South Salt Lake City School Board Shuts Down Parents During Meeting and Escape Out Back Door After Refusing to Listen to Demands ,


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 6, 2021 | Sundance | 130 Comments

School boards are where mini-dictators are grown.  Thus the latest exhibit comes from South Salt Lake, Utah and the Granite School District Board of Education meeting.

The board was going to hear proposals of removing the mask mandate for K-12 students.  However, they would only allow one parent to speak during “citizen participation time”, a control method for keeping the pesky proles from expressing their opinion of board policy.

After the board allowed a mask advocate from the state to speak, the School board said that’s it, no more discussion.  Parents became infuriated, things got ugly [VIDEO Below]. The board ended the meeting and escaped out the back-door of the building.

UTAH – […] The crowd rose to its feet in protest and one man shouted: “Remember this day! Remember this day!”

Others chanted: “No more masks. No more masks. No more masks.””

The board moved to adjourn the meeting, left the room through a back door and the building was eventually cleared.

[…]  Utah Parents United Facebook page earlier had urged parents to attend their local school board meetings to protest mask policies, noting “if you are sick and tired of what your kids are being put through, do your part and show up. Don’t think things are going to change if you don’t get involved. We need hundreds of parents!”  (full msm article)

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Signs Election Reform Bill


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 6, 2021 | Sundance | 111 Comments

Governor Ron DeSantis appeared on Fox News this morning to highlight the economic success of Florida during the COVID crisis.  As DeSantis notes because the state remained largely open the state did not need to touch its “Rainy Day Fund” to cover emergency expenses; and now the state is fully operational the revenues being generated are allowing the legislature to double the state emergency fund accounts.  All of this despite Florida having no income tax.

Additionally, DeSantis highlighted the growth in the state that allows the legislature to provide $1,000 bonuses to first responders; and introduces a new election reform bill recently passed by the state legislature, which he signed live on television.

A War On Humanity


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com MAY 4, 2021 AT 10:51 AM

WAS IT THE EPSTEIN ISLAND THING, OR THE WHOLE GRIM REAPER VIBE THAT SPLIT BILL AND MELINDA?

Bill and Melinda Gates are getting divorced. Many jokes immediately ensued—you’ve probably read them. I could have drawn a cartoon joke—say, an angry Melinda walking in on Bill who is in bed with the Devil—his true love.

However, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is not funny. Thousands of people dropping dead from experimental vaccines is not funny. So I penned a more serious image.

Bill comes from a genocidal-minded family. His father headed Planned Parenthood. They had ties to the Rockefelllers and other members of the illuminati. Bill is carrying out a generational dream of reducing humanity through the application of vaccines. Melinda presumably remains onboard with this goal until we hear otherwise.

It IS odd that the divorce was announced at this time. If their marriage has been festering for a long time, why not divorce earlier? Even if they hate each other, wouldn’t they stay together for the sake of their Foundational goals? The Clintons have long drifted apart, yet they remain married for the sake of appearance.

Conspiracy theories abound:

•  Did Melinda find out what Bill was up to with his friend Jeffrey Epstein? Has Bill Gates been compromised by Ghislaine Maxwell’s evidence?

• Does Melinda fear a backlash to the deadly vaccines her husband continues to push? There could be another Nuremberg style trial to convict the vaccine-pushing Illuminati criminals. She would be as guilty as her husband.

• Could it be a clash of egos when it came to Foundation decisions? Maybe Bill wants to kill off more of humanity than she does.

• Could there be upcoming legal problems with the Gates Foundation? These foundations are set up to make the rich and powerful more rich and powerful. Look at the Clinton Foundation and how rich the Clintons are now. (Remember, Hillary said they were broke upon leaving the White House). These foundations are crooked as doglegs, and are used to further nefarious goals. It’s the same way with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. They pretend to be philanthropists, but in actuality the money the Foundation donates goes to companies that has Gates as a stakeholder. Maybe Melinda fears an upcoming investigation.

• Is the divorce a sideshow to distract from another virus release or their continued eugenics activities? Remember, they both smiled when Bill said there would be another, more virulent virus.

This could get interesting, but let’s not lose focus on what they both want—a global tracking ID system as well as population reduction—both by means of vaccinations.

Oh, by the way….Melinda Gates really does look like Kevin Kline.

What’s Happening in India?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Apr 30, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty; Your model had forecast that there would be a more serious epidemic in 2022, not 2020. Is this what is unfolding in India now?

FJ

ANSWER: It appears that there is another corona-type virus which they are calling a variant. This is misleading insofar as they are portraying that somehow COVID is the first coronavirus. The common cold is also typically a coronavirus. The rising number of claimed COVID-19 cases in India is being presented as a much more infectious and probably a far more deadly variant. It is driving hospitals beyond a crisis point. The flu also attacks the ability to breathe, which impacts often the elderly the worst.

There is no absolute proof that this is a variant-driven crisis that is much more infectious and probably far more lethal than the first wave. It may simply be a new strain altogether. There is no question that this outbreak has left hospitals experiencing shortages of supplies, including oxygen.

Out of a population of 1.4 billion, there have been 17.6 million infections to date, which is 0.0125%. That number could be higher because people with COVID-19 often do not have symptoms other than a running nose. The total deaths have been often reaching almost 3,000 per day, and the total deaths have reached 198,000. While that does sound like a lot, it is still 0.00014%.

We have to be concerned about the media exploiting this to further the Great Reset. Burning dead people makes for perfect images to cause panic.

Undercover Report, ANTIFA Planning Widespread Violence for May 1st


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 29, 2021 | Sundance | 118 Comments

In 1889, May 1st, also known as “May Day” was chosen as the date for International Workers’ Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago. It is a different celebration from the European cultural holiday of May Day, or the celebration of flowers.

You will not find ANTIFA dancing around a maypole.  However, if, according to these reports, ANTIFA carries out their plans, there is likely to be widespread violence on Saturday May 1st.

SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) — Shocking comments were made during an online meeting of far-left activists in Sonoma County, discussing a possible protest for this Saturday.

Group leader: “It’s May Day, baby, like come out and take, take somethin’ over with us, I don’t, I don’t (bleep)-ing know.”
Member: “Let’s kill people. (laughs)”
Group Leader: “Let’s kill some cops.”
Member: “Yeah.“

The ABC7 I-Team has been investigating the group’s possible connection to recent acts of vandalism, including an incident at the former home of a Derek Chauvin defense witness one week ago.  (read more)
