The 2020 Election – The Most Corrupt in American History


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Jun 25, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The polls will be manipulated to show Trump will lose. While our computer shows he should win, caution is necessary because we are also showing this will be the most corrupt election in American history. The computer had also projected that Gore would have won but the Supreme Court handed that to Bush, and later the evidence showed that Gore should have won on the recount. We could face the same thing this time. Neither side will accept a loss and the civil unrest will rise sharply over the next two years into 2022.

If Trump wins, the capital will flow to the USA and we should expect a high into 2022. If Trump loses, we would expect a 2022 low. The fact that the NASDAQ is making new highs at this time and with such volatile patterns is not a good sign long-term.

If the Democrats win, they will adopt the Thomas Piketty social justice system and will be raising taxes substantially. They want a 70% tax rate on $200,000 or more. This is going to result in violence on the streets and a lot of bloodshed. We may see an outright civil war in the United States come in 2027. Expect a rise in violence in the USA come 2021. We have had four very close elections in the Electoral College and twice a loser won in 1924 and 2000. In the 1924 case, it was Congress that overruled the popular vote and in 2000 it was the Supreme Court.

We are running our models on each state and will have the results soon for a special report. The HAWKS like Bill Krystal and Bolton will support the Democrats because they will always wage wars. They will look at their military objectives and ignore the economics behind this entire movement. There are so many people with their hands out from the Gates Consortium; all they look at is how much money they get and the hell with the country or the world. So this elections is going to be so corrupt, it looks like the Roman election of 53 BC where there was so much bribery going on that interest rates doubled!

Panic 53bc rome

The Roman Republic elections of 53 BC illustrate just how corrupt elections can become. The elections of 53 BC effectively degenerated into a bidding war between the various factions. Under the pretense of helping candidates with their expenses, the bottom line was simple bribery. We know from various contemporary authors of the time that the intense bribery caused interest rates to jump from 4% to 8% during those elections. This bidding war was so serious that the Senate of Rome was forced to act because it became so public.

Pompey (106-48BC) professed to be shocked at the entire affair, which was highly unlikely given his part in the dealings. The Senate was forced to announce prosecutions against all concerned, and the offices of Consul were given to other parties following a confession by one candidate, Memmius. Political contribution scandals are still taking place today as they did thousands of years ago.

So buckle up. The election of 2020 is going to be the most corrupt, manipulated, and outright fraudulent election in American history. There is a lot at stake. This is a major effort by Marxists to take control. The election of 53 BC was the precursor to civil unrest which began just four years later when Julius Caesar (100-44BC) crossed the Rubicon on January 10-11, 49 BC. Interestingly enough, it will be four years to the peak of this Economic Confidence Model – 2024.

FBI Director Chris Wray Conducts Climate Assessment ‘Sensing Session’ With Brett Baier – Video


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on June 24, 2020 by 

…”because I’m good enough; I’m strong enough; and doggone it, people like me.”

That’s the kitchen table sensibility as projected by FBI Director Christopher Wray in this interview. It’s a communication style blending the modern term “corporate responsibility” with the patronizing mannerisms of a dad discussing sixth grade peer pressure with his tender gender-neutral offspring.

This is actually a very revealing interview to understand why 50 FBI agents chased the Russian conspiracy for two years with Robert Mueller; and why 15 FBI agents excitedly responded to a garage door pull-down rope. The emphasis is on the wrong syllable, but golly we only have a 0.4 percent turnover ratio, so we must be doing something right.

I’ve actually met a Chris Wray clone in the past. While culling a tier of toxic executive management, the CEO voice in the organization said to me: “what if you fire all of them and later find out you’re wrong?” To which I replied: “what’s more dangerous to you, my firing them and being wrong, or you keeping them around and my being right?”…

Director Wray is the guy who doesn’t deal with the toxic infection, instead he uses words like: “we have an opportunity”, “they need to be supported more”; and “I challenge you to provide continuous coaching.” Note at 09:45 Wray says “I put in place an entire new leadership team”, without even realizing that Bill Barr just removed -by force- Wray’s hand-selected chief legal counsel, Dana Boente. It doesn’t even register with him.

.

Chris Wray’s performance as FBI Director is akin to what would happen if you took a hotel manager and made him the captain of a cruise ship.

…“energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”….

Democrats Exposed as the Racists They’ve Always Been

Democrats Exposed as the Racists They've Always Been

They say that out of every bad thing comes a good thing. Ask any mother who has been through a 20-hour labor!

The same can be said of the criminal behavior of the Marxist-inspired radicals––Antifa and Black Lives Matters––which eclipsed the legitimate outrage that followed the horrific murder of George Floyd by a white policeman, Derek Chauvin, in Minneapolis, MN.

This crime called for reform of the Minneapolis Police Department, which had ignored 18 grievances against Chauvin. But that is not what happened.

Instead, the peaceful protests against this savage act were obliterated by the professionally orchestrated, bountifully financed rampage of the above-mentioned anarchists-cum-terrorists through American cities and suburbs, leaving a massive swath of destruction that included dozens of black-owned businesses and dozens of white-owned businesses that employed black citizens. So much for Black Lives Matter!

What a beautiful tribute to George Floyd––God spare all of us such a memoriam!

A SHAMEFUL EXPOSÉ

However, the good that came out of this disgraceful, destructive, criminal behavior was the willingness of many black conservative commentators and writers to tell the American public what Democrats and their leftist media lackeys have been concealing from the public for decades.

  1. Since the 1960s, the welfare system rewarded single black mothers with lifetime financial support which resulted in every generation for the last 60 years with fatherless homes—in short, the destruction of the black family. When the mothers worked outside the home to make ends meet, their children were left to the streets to admire the rich pimps, drug pushers and other criminals who became their role models….a doomsday scenario for every child.
  2. Public schools run by Democrat-controlled unions and benefits-infatuated teachers and administrators allowed generations of illiterate students to “graduate” without the knowledge or skills necessary to be productive members of society. Just mention the name Eva Moskowitz to any leftist and you will be assaulted with vile language and the deep hatred Democrats feel toward the woman who runs upward of 25 Charter Schools in New York City, schools attended by children from black ghettos who pass the Regents with flying colors, score high marks on the SATs, graduate from high school and go on to top-flight colleges (without the “benefit” of Affirmative Action). This is tragically unlike the children who attend public schools and go on to survive either through lives of crime or welfare dependency.
  1. The result: a disproportionate number of blacks––mostly men––in prison, representing a complete waste of potentially vibrant and contributory lives.
  2. And the women? Most Planned Parenthood facilities are located in minority neighborhoods… on purpose! In fact, 25 percent of abortions performed each year are on black women. The founder of these baby-destroying factories, Margaret Sanger, as John Nolte reports, was an impassioned eugenicist  who spoke before Ku Klux Klan groups. On December 10, 1939, in a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble of the Eugenics Society––in the context of discussing the Negro Project, which she developed in concert with white birth-control reformers––Sanger wrote: “We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…” The Planned Parenthood Federation of America aborted 345,672 babies during the 2018 fiscal year, which equals approximately 86,500 dead black babies. So much for Black Lives Matter!
  3. Democrats conceived of and implemented Sanctuary Cities which flout federal immigration law in protecting illegal aliens from deportation and prosecution. These laws go further in providing cradle-to-grave benefits like taxpayer-funded free food, free housing, free medical care, free schooling, and of course welfare payments. The result, of course, is that the states who subscribe to this communist philosophy are both crime-ridden and bankrupt. The cost is in the multibillions of dollars, which could and should have been spent on better schools, jobs and living conditions for black citizens, but never is and never was. So much for Black Lives Matter!

John Nolte asks what the following cities have in common:

Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Fayetteville, Atlanta, New York, Nashville, Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia,  Chicago, Milwaukee, Salt Lake, Washington DC, Detroit, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Kansas City, Houston, Charlotte, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Denver, Dallas, Phoenix, Tampa, Baltimore, Oakland, Louisville…

  1. They’re all run by Democrats, many for generations.
  2. They’ve all been looted and burned by left-wing Antifa terrorists and other Marxist groups over the past few weeks.
  3. These riots are wholly owned, supported, indeed applauded by the Democrat Party.

Here is but one example:

Democrat Run

Make no mistake: all of the above actions were taken with one overriding goal in mind: to accumulate votes for Democrat candidates. The strategy was obviously to keep minority populations dumb and dependent, the better to convince them that hope for a better future lay right around the corner.

If you go to horrible schools, you’re not going to keep up on politics and you are going to listen to sermon-spouting “reverends”––like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright, et al––who tell you what to think and who to vote for, while they are making millions and their gullible acolytes are barely getting by. So much for Black Lives Matter!

TO THE RESCUE

But now that President Trump enacted the unprecedented prison-reform First Step Act, and created an economy in which black people have enjoyed the highest employment rate in American history––money in their pockets, unlimited opportunity, increased awareness of the slave mentality of the Democrats––which political party will this minority population vote for?

As I said, good comes out of bad. A black vote of 20 percent, and quite possibly 30 percent for President Trump, will teach the Democrats that even their most cherished “value”––abortion––is not enough to keep the black population loyal to their historically empty promises and innate racism.

So Is President Trump A Racist? Fuggedaboutit 


While it is easy to say that you are supportive of a cause actions speak louder than words

So Is President Trump A Racist? Fuggedaboutit

President Trump, who was presented with numerous awards from Black organizations as a supporter of equality for all before the Democrat establishment and the Democrats who identify as journalists decided to accuse him of racism, works tirelessly to empower America’s forgotten communities.

According to President Trump on September 10, 2019, “We’re lifting up forgotten communities, creating exciting new opportunities, and helping every American find their path to the American Dream.”

A statement from the Trump White House staked out a basic tenet of President Trump’s stance regarding the importance of education in building for success in the African American community.  “For over 180 years, America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have made extraordinary contributions to our country, helping bring the American Dream to millions of African-American students and many others.”

Addressing the 2019 National HBCU Week Conference, President Donald J. Trump said: “Together, we will ensure that HBCUs continue to thrive and prosper and flourish for the countless generations to come,” as he pledged to keep building on his Adminifst,ration’s work in support of these important institutions.

He pointed out the long and illustrious history of HBCUs in America saying, “For more than 180 years, HBCUs have strengthened our country and called our country to greatness.  Your institutions have been pillars of excellence in higher education and the engines of advancement for African American citizens. It’s been incredible the job they’ve done.”

And President Trump has put legs to this vocal support.  In his budgets he has spent more than any other president on HBCUs.  In 2018, Trump appropriated more than three hundred and sixty million dollars—thirty-two million more than Obama.

And while it is easy to say that you are supportive of a cause actions speak louder than words.  Here are some of the actions President Trump has taken to help build a better future for Americans:

PRIORITIZING EDUCATION: President Donald J. Trump has made supporting Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) a priority of his Administration.

  • Barely a month after taking office, President Trump signed an Executive Order to move the Federal HBCU initiative back to the White House – making sure it is a key priority.
  • President Trump directed agencies across his Administration to develop plans to enhance their support for HBCUs.
  • President Trump has signed legislation increasing Federal funding for HBCUs.
  • The President signed legislation that added more than $100 million for scholarships, research, and centers of excellence at HBCU land grant institutions.
  • The Administration relaunched the HBCU Capital Finance Board to make millions of dollars available to support HBCUs’ long-term growth and improvement.
  • The Administration has announced that any restrictions on those funds going to institutions with a religious mission is unconstitutional.
  • The Administration is rethinking college by reducing regulatory burdens, promoting innovation, strengthening accountability, and respecting the unique mission of each school.
LIFTING UP COMMUNITIES: President Trump is ensuring that no citizen is forgotten, and no community is ignored.
  • President Trump’s America First agenda is spurring investment and revitalization in our country’s most underserved communities.
  • President Trump signed legislation creating Opportunity Zones, a game-changing vehicle to spur new capital investment in America’s economically distressed communities.
  • Nearly 9,000 communities in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and 5 Territories have been designated as Opportunity Zones.
  • Opportunity Zones are projected to attract $100 billion in private investments to the American communities that need these investments most.
  • President Trump created a White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council to help ensure we are lifting these communities.
  • Since its creation, the Council has taken action to deliver additional Federal support to Opportunity Zones.
  • Median income for African American-headed households rose by 2.6 percent between 2017 and 2018.
  • The poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans each reached new series lows in 2018.
  • Nearly 2.5 million have been lifted out of poverty in the first two years of the Administration.

INVESTING IN OUR WORKFORCE: President Trump is promoting workforce development to ensure all Americans share in our historic economic revival.

  • President Trump is supporting American workers to ensure all Americans can benefit from today’s thriving economy.
  • More than 350 companies have signed President Trump’s “Pledge to America’s Workers,” offering more than 13 million employment, education, and training opportunities.
  • President Trump’s National Council for the American Worker is developing strategies for training and retraining workers for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
  • Last year, the President signed legislation reauthorizing nearly $1.3 billion in funding for career and technical education, benefitting millions of Americans.
  • The President’s pro-growth policies are generating millions of new jobs – creating more and more opportunities for American workers.
  • More than 6.3 million new jobs have been created since President Trump’s election and job openings continue to far exceed the number of job seekers.

CREATING A FAIRER JUSTICE SYSTEM: President Trump’s criminal justice reforms are keeping our communities safe and giving Americans a second chance to succeed.

  • President Trump is ensuring that former prisoners can find jobs and build meaningful lives after rejoining their communities.
  • The President signed the groundbreaking First Step Act, enacting historic reforms to make our criminal justice system fairer for all and to help prepare prisoners to successfully rejoin society.
  • These reforms helped to remedy unfair sentencing provisions that disproportionately hurt African Americans.
  • This historic legislation promotes prisoner participation in vocational training, educational coursework, or faith-based programs.
  • These reforms help keep all Americans safe by giving former prisoners the chance to find purpose and contribute to our economy, rather than returning to crime.
  • President Trump is promoting second chance hiring to offer prisoners an opportunity to achieve the American dream.
  • Departments and agencies across the Government are enacting initiatives to promote second chance hiring opportunities.

Evangelist Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., is not helping Democrats with their accusations that President Donald Trump is a racist. In fact, she has quite the opposite to say.  She tweeted, “I am the Niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Listen to my words, President Trump is not a racist!!  He is one of the best presidents America has ever seen! I fully support him!”

Speaking to Fox News about the president King said, “I’ve had the experience of going head-to-head with genuine racists. Back in the 20th century, I was a youth organizer … and a racist is a person who really does believe that their race, their category of humanity is superior or different.”

She went on to call out Joe Biden and other Democrats for not being honest about Trump denouncing white supremacy, which King acknowledged the president has done several times.

She also said, “One thing really is getting to me and I’d like for you to look into this, the race-baiters who want to stir up fear and hate make us think we’re different when we’re one blood and one human race. President Trump says, ‘we all bleed the same,’ he’s really clear on that, he has done so much for all Americans, including African Americans.”

And there you have it.  Some people for partisan reasons want to say that President Trump is a racist.  However, if we look at what was said about him before he decided to run for president and had the audacity to win, if we listen to Black leaders such as Alveda King, or if we take time to actually look at his actions we learn that the opposite is true.

So is President Trump a racist?  Fuggedaboutit

Flynn Case Update – Appeals Court Orders Judge Sullivan to Dismiss Flynn Case…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on June 24, 2020 by 

The three judges on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals have approved a writ of mandamus ordering Judge Emmet Sullivan to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn. [pdf here]

The panel ruled 2-1, that U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan overstepped his authority in not accepting the unopposed motion and questioning prosecutors’ decision.  This is a big victory for the Flynn defense team.  Not sure what Sullivan will do now.

Judges Karen Henderson and Neomi Rao supported the writ, judge Robert Wilkins did not.  Henderson was the surprise vote.

Writing the majority opinion Judge Neomi Rao noted, “in this case, the district court’s actions will result in specific harms to the exercise of the Executive Branch’s exclusive prosecutorial power.”  “If evidence comes to light calling into question the integrity or purpose of an underlying criminal investigation, the Executive Branch must have the authority to decide that further prosecution is not in the interest of justice,” Rao added.

Here’s the ruling:

Bubba Wallace Goes Full Kaepernick – Despite Evidence Doubles Down on False “Noose” Claim…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on June 24, 2020 by 

Before NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace appeared on CNN with Don Lémon to discuss his now disproven racial “noose” targeting, he had a decision to make.  Wallace could accept the FBI/NASCAR finding and admit an honest mistake was made by an overly sensitive Richard Petty racing team; or he could make racism his new identity in NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick did with football in the NFL.  Bubba Wallace chose the latter.

As a result of Wallace’s new identity, and his announced career goals, NASCAR will now fragment in the same way as the National Football League. Social justice will now define Mr. Wallace’s professional effort; driving with NASCAR becomes a method to achieve his new career aspirations.  That inflection point, his identity choice, is clear in his interview.

However, before getting to the interview it is worth looking at how this entire fiasco was created, starting with the carefully obtuse explanation from Richard Petty Motorsports:

Obviously Richard Petty’s team are socially woke and enlightened to their obligations in a new era of racial sensitivity.  Notice the careful wording: “discovered a rope tied in the fashion of a noose”, key word “fashion.”  The careful wording allows the statement to skirt on the fringes of common sense truth because they don’t ‘technically’ say it’s a noose; quite simply, because it isn’t.   If it were a noose it would be useless as a garage door pull.

That brings up the second obtuse aspect of the sentence: “discovered a rope”, notice they don’t say it was attached to the garage door pull (which it was) because that would make their misinterpretation seem even more ridiculous.  Saying ‘we discovered a garage door pull-down rope that appeared to be fashioned as a noose’, would illicit eye-rolls.  So they carefully avoid noting their stupidity by ignoring common sense.

noosecar 2

“According to established protocols our team notified the crew chief”, so they have protocols for nooses at Richard Petty Motorsports?  Of course they don’t.  They have protocols for making stupid stuff into bigger stupid stuff by notifying ever increasing pearl-clutchers.  If you’ve ever worked in a corporate setting, you know the nonsense that can flow from a particular squeeky noisemaker who enjoys attention.  Same/Same.

From that moment forward NASCAR, the corporate side; the public relations, brand image and risk management side; took over.  Thus the culturally sensitive and politically correct NASCAR President, Steve Phelps, soon found himself in the motor-home of Bubba Wallace crying and explaining that “a hate crime has been committed against him.” Yes, that’s what happened (it’s in the interview).

Throughout this event, from the moment the garage door pull was defined as a “noose”, common sense was displaced by an overwhelming urge to be appropriately sensitive to the slightest possibility that something terribly untoward may be afoot.  The 800lb gorilla in the corner of the decision-making space is NASCAR’s intention to find a new culturally diverse audience.  A corporations cultural direction once again drowned common sense.

Within the interview Bubba Wallace waxes poetically about how much he appreciated Steve Phelps sensitivities; and how President Phelps is just the right kind of woke-minded leader to carry NASCAR into the social justice era against the hordes of deplorable redneck rubes they are now trying to outrun.  CNN host Don Lemon is giddy with praise for such an enlightened relationship and praises young Wallace for his millionaire fortitude to be able to withstand emotional pain; and yet overcome the adversity of being a victim.

Not to skim the point, the choice of CNN’s Don Lemon as a brother in the movement, facilitating Wallace’s inflection point, professional identity and first public comments since the FBI debunked the “hate crime” in question, should not be overlooked.  Again, when you have to pretend not to know things, it is wise to lean upon a fellow traveler.

Within the interview Bubba Wallace accepts the FBI finding that he was not a target. However, in keeping with his new identity, Wallace doubles down on the false narrative that a “noose” was indeed created by some racist entities in NASCAR.

Wallace’s overt inference -and it isn’t at all subtle- is that racist teams are running amok in the sport, tying random nooses on garage doors, and Bubba welcomes the challenge of overcoming their racial adversity.  In short, Bubba Wallace calls some of those who just joined him in a unity parade, racist NASCAR participants who tie nooses.

That victim outlook permits Wallace to further proclaim his mission to bring NASCAR to “an entirely new audience of followers” who have -in his words- demanded that he “place himself on a pedestal” to do battle with the racist NASCAR elements that surround him.

So there you have it… you can watch it in the interview. Bubba Wallace is to NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick was/is to the NFL.  If he loses a sponsor, it’s racism.  If he’s bumped in a race, it’s racism.  If he doesn’t win, and/or as a result of poor performance questions arise about losing his ride, yep, racism.

By doubling, tripling and quadrupling down; with anger and disdain toward any who would counter him with common sense; on the completely false assertion that a garage door with a “loop knot” or “scaffold knot” is a noose, Wallace attempts to shield himself by weaponizing his race.  Any challenge to his defined noose narrative is racism.

And you know what,… it will work.

How can I be so certain that his approach will work?  The answer is really quite simple.

Think about how weak an organization needs to be in order to permit a ridiculous garage door rope with a loop on the end; becoming such a ridiculously overblown issue that the corporation would organize an full-throated PR campaign around a hoax; while the leader of the organization sobs in the trailer of a falsely identified hate-crime victim.

In essence, weak organizations are a breeding ground for communal stupid; and every one of them ends the same way.  Both the NFL and NASCAR are following the same woke business plan.  Watch his interview, you’ll see it:

Today’s Dystopian Healthcare When You Have Covid Even When You Don’t


This nation was designed to protect and defend commerce, unrestricted speech and religious pursuits, never to suppress liberty

Today's Dystopian Healthcare When You Have Covid Even When You Don't

The line has been crossed. Government guidelines have overtaken and undermined the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. Medical professionals need to read it again.

We knew it was coming when the institution of the fascist Obamacare – the Affordable Healthcare Act went far beyond its socialist boundaries – compelled medical personnel to make impertinent and unrelated lifestyle queries, gun ownership among them.

The overblown response to the WuFlu coronavirus has ushered in another chapter of data collection and regulation

The overblown response to the WuFlu coronavirus has ushered in another chapter of data collection and regulation that is being used to restrict the rights of citizens, and it’s infected even the most conservative states.

Weaponizing emergency, urgent care and hospital policy was a major step. Entrance into these facilities requires mandatory temperature reading, donning a facemask (proven to be useless against the spread of the disease) before an employee will tend to the visitor.

Recent events have shown that the CDC has pressured doctors and nurses to view every potential patient as a Covid-19 carrier, disregarding the individual’s complaint as superfluous. Personnel are armed with a sketchy list of possible WuFlu symptoms that could describe seasonal allergies to heartburn, and the first thing done by healthcare workers is insist that the patient be tested, which they are still free to refuse. Refusal, however, is close to becoming a black listing. Don’t be surprised when rejecting a test will brand the individual as a danger to society. Dictatorial states like Washington have already implemented contact tracing, where “trained interviewers” knock on doors and take names.

The objective behind pressuring individuals to be tested is to boost case numbers in order to validate the overreaching regulations being implemented by government agencies. Should the individual refuse to be tested? That’s hardly an obstacle. Medical professionals are being directed to report “probable” infections based on the catchall list of symptoms.

Personal encounters with individuals who have been victimized by these policies have occurred twice in the last week.1 Visits to urgent care for already diagnosed problems unrelated to Covid-19 resulted in nurses and doctors disregarding the complaints of the patients and redefining the symptoms as probable WuFlu cases without hearing or considering the patient’s history or actual complaint.

In one instance, the patient entered the care facility to receive attention for obvious sinus blockage related to annual pollen allergies. She had passed the temperature roadblock by not exhibiting a fever, yet the nurse practitioner (NP) on duty refused to hear the patient’s complaint, telling her that she showed signs of Covid-19, completely disallowing even a cursory medical history that would have quickly revealed the cause for her stuffy nose.

It was a nonsensical determination since the woman had been at home with her disabled husband for the last few months having little contact with the public. The facts did not deter the nurse practitioner from insisting the patient was a likely Covid case.

The patient’s husband had just been admitted into the hospital for atrial fibrillation (AFib), and it was necessary that she stay with him as the only one who could interpret his needs after a stroke had impaired his ability to communicate. On the grounds that just being tested for the coronavirus would prevent her from entering the hospital for three days to assist her husband, she refused a test. She was at urgent care to receive a remedy for post-nasal drip, not an upper respiratory ailment.

That did not stop the NP from overstepping her bounds by completely disregarding the actual symptoms of the patient and reporting the woman to the hospital as a potential Covid case.

What this medical employee did, and this is not the only report received of irresponsible behavior by healthcare workers, was create undue emotional distress and hardship for the couple by attempting to bar the woman from attending her sick husband who had no other advocate. That NP and the policies of the hospital placed his life in danger because the healthcare workers on staff weren’t able to fully understand him. If the woman had not managed to get herself up to his room before the NP called in the unsubstantiated report to the nurses station, the woman would have been refused entry, preventing proper care for her husband. In fact, the nurse supervisor attempted to eject the woman from the hospital at 12:30 a.m. The supervisor was unsuccessful because the wife did not have transportation available at that late hour but the hospital did boot her from her husband’s room the next day and has since denied her re-entry. (Update: the husband was just diagnosed with cancer and she is still being locked out of the hospital for suffering seasonal allergies.)

Rush to restrict free movement of individuals

Situations like this are becoming commonplace amid the rush to restrict free movement of individuals, unless they happen to be participating in Antifa protests spawning murder and destruction as in Seattle’s “CHOP.”

It’s become imperative for individuals to arm themselves with the real facts about Covid-19: that the mortality rate is .1% of cases diagnosed; that testing positive is not indicative of resultant illness nor does it require vaccination; that the virus is not that easily spread and that the vast number of false positives and reports of probable cases is far beyond the actual numbers. Dr. Deborah Birx said publicly that the numbers are inflated by approximately 25%.

What is true is that the pandemic is an epidemic of government repression focusing on tracking individuals in their activities (if they tend toward freedom of conservative speech and religious expression) and confine them to living separate, censored lives. This is the only way the progressive agenda can press ahead. Inexcusably, too many republican officials and administrators accept the propaganda, ignoring their constitutional duty and becoming accessories to creeping tyranny.

Recommendation? Refuse testing for the virus. The vast number of false positive results make it of no use. Refuse vaccination when it is finally offered for being ineffective. Vaccines have proven to infect individuals more often than protect them against viruses. Do not relent from speaking out against ineffective, vain regulations being forced upon individuals under the guise of seeking a cure.

The only cure available to a free society is to adamantly maintain our mobility and freedom to conduct business without social limits, gather with friends in public and worship without constraints.

This nation was designed to protect and defend commerce, unrestricted speech and religious pursuits, never to suppress liberty.

A Black Man’s Letter to Black Lives Matter


I am tired of our Nation cowering, appeasing, acquiescing, and surrendering to this absurd organization calling itself Black Lives Matter (BLM)

Allen West, A Black Man’s Letter to Black Lives Matter

In the aftermath of the George Floyd incident, everyone seems to want to have a conversation about race in America.

Just recently, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, asserted that if you couldn’t decide whether to vote for him or President Trump, “you ain’t black.”

”So, let me clarify something: I was born in February 1961 in a “Blacks only” hospital, Hughes Spalding, in Atlanta, Georgia. I was raised by a proud Black man, Herman West Sr. and woman, Elizabeth Thomas West in the historic Old Fourth Ward neighborhood in Atlanta. My Mom and Dad are buried, together, in Marietta National Cemetery because of their service to our Nation.

BLM is just another leftist organization created by the same ilk of progressive socialists who created the NAACP

The Old Fourth Ward is the same neighborhood that produced Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and where the American civil rights movement emanated, “Sweet Auburn Avenue.”

There is a high possibility that I have forgotten more black history than some may ever learn — or certainly know. I just authored a book titled, “We Can Overcome, An American Black Conservative Manifesto.”

I do not need to “qualify” my being Black based upon some pre-determined ideological agenda. I was raised to believe that I was an individual who could think and believe as I determined. I was taught that America is a place where regardless of where you were born, where you came from, there was an equality of opportunity.

That equality of opportunity has enabled me to attain immense success for myself and set the conditions for the success of my two daughters. My wife Angela, an accomplished former marketing professor and financial adviser, and I now teach our daughters about the perils of equality of outcomes, and those who cleverly disguise that intent within the cries of social justice.

With this being stated, I am tired of our Nation cowering, appeasing, acquiescing, and surrendering to this absurd organization calling itself Black Lives Matter (BLM). There is nothing true or sincere about this ideologically aligned progressive socialist, cultural Marxist organization.

BLM is just another leftist organization created by the same ilk of progressive socialists who created the NAACP. When one reviews the goals and objectives of BLM, they have nothing to do with the real issues facing the Black community in America. The focus of BLM is to cleverly advance the leftist ideological agenda under the guise of a witty name that forces people into guilt, shame.

I am tired of these businesses and corporations being shaken down by BLM

I do not need any white person in America to kneel before me, apologize, wash my feet, or as the insidious comment of Chick-fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy, shine my shoes. I did a doggone good job of shining my own boots during my career in the US Army — that was my individual responsibility, in which I took great pride.

I am tired of these businesses and corporations being shaken down by BLM to the tune of some $464M, $50M right here in my home of Texas. Why?

Black Lives Matter does not support the critical civil rights issue of this day. The major civil rights issue in America today is educational freedom. How many young black kids are relegated to failing public schools in failing neighborhoods? Where does BLM stand on that issue? They stand with the progressive socialist left and the teachers unions. Ask yourself, has BLM ever condemned the action of Barack Obama in April 2009 to cancel the DC school voucher program?

Yesterday was Father’s Day. How many young black kids are growing up without a father in the house, a strong positive role model, like my Dad, US Army Corporal Herman West Sr.? The policies of the progressive socialist left decimated the traditional two parent household in the black community. What does BLM say about the traditional, nuclear, two parent (man and woman) household? They say that is a tool of white supremacy.

If there is to be a conversation about the rule of law in America and the black community, let’s have that honest conversation. However, BLM wants us to believe that there is some focused, dedicated, intentional genocide being enacted against the Black community by law enforcement.

In 2019, there were a total of nine white law enforcement officer shootings of unarmed black men. Yet, how many blacks have taken to the streets to kill other blacks? And where is the outrage from BLM?

I have never heard Black Lives Matter speak up, speak out, or speak against Planned Parenthood. Why?

But, even worse, since 1973 there have been over 20 million unborn black babies murdered in the wombs of Black mothers. The organization mostly responsible for the industry of murdering unborn babies is Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood was founded by a known white supremacist, racist, a woman who spoke at Ku Klux Klan rallies — Margaret Sanger. Planned Parenthood has over 70 percent of their “clinics” located in black communities across America.

I have never heard Black Lives Matter speak up, speak out, or speak against Planned Parenthood. Why? Simple, the white progressive socialist masters who fund, resource, and enable Black Lives Matter don’t give a darn about the lives of Black children.

I could go on, but I think you get my point. Black Lives Matter is an oxymoronic and disingenuous organization. As a proud American Black Man, I find Black Lives Matter an offensive and condescending organization whose hypocrisy is blatantly evident. Yet, thanks to the lucrative support of the white progressive socialist collective elitists, it survives, and extorts financial support from the useful idiots in our corporate structure.

All lives matter, but this radical organization, Black Lives Matter, is the ultimate Trojan Horse. The consistent purveyors of systemic racism in America is the Democrat Party. They have smartly devised this organization to enable their ends, the proliferation of the 21st century economic plantation. Black Lives Matter serves as overseers on this plantation, stoking the irrational emotionalism and angst to support their agenda, their purpose.

What is the purpose? Simple. The new plantation of the left is not about producing cotton. It is about creating victims who will be dependent, and produce the new crop — votes.

Police Infiltrating Protests


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest

Re-Posted Jun 24, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
In the Hague protests, here is a video showing that the police are pretending to be protesters and aggravating the protest to increase its violence. This clearly shows that the police are not there for the people, but still to protect the state against the people. Here, they dragged a boy; the crowd began to chase them, and they ran back to their police van. Some believe they are doing this to justify further lockdowns using police to make things appear more violent

Why There is No Rule of Law in the United States

Justice

QUESTION: You wrote: “Unfortunately, our legal system FAILS to protect people. It allows the government to do whatever it desires and then puts the burden on the people to go to court which takes years to get to the Supreme Court who may just rubber-stamp the government anyway. Our legal system is wholly inadequate and it encourages tyranny as we are experiencing right now.”

Could you elaborate for a student studying law?

Thank you

ANSWER: In HARRIS v. McRAE, 448 U.S. 297 (1980), when someone argued that the government should create a program to help the people, the Supreme Court suddenly ruled that the Bill of Rights is NEGATIVE and not POSITIVE. Therefore, there is nothing in the Constitution that compels the government to create any welfare program. Therefore, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is a RESTRAINT upon government. It is entirely illogical that you can then waive ANY right for that is constructively amending the Constitution and allowing the government to kill you, torture you, or do whatever it desires.

Then Congress abused its authority when it passed the Judiciary Act of 1925. Nevertheless, courts try to pretend that it was constitutional. In Doyle v. Roberts, 463 F. App’x 50, 51–52 (2d Cir. 2012)  where the argument was that it provided unlimited discretion to the Supreme Court over whether to grant certiorari petitions. The Second Circuit rules that Section 1254(1) provides that “[c]ases in the courts of appeals may be reviewed by the Supreme Court by … writ of certiorari granted upon the petition of any party to any civil or criminal case, before or after rendition of judgment or decree.” Doyle argued that there were no rules for granting certiorari and that violated the non-delegation doctrine. They rejected that argument. The Second Circuit ruled that there are few things are more appropriate to the central mission of the judiciary than the high court’s ability under § 1254(1) to manage its caseload by selecting from among more than 10,000 petitions each year the cases in which Supreme Court review will most assist not only the parties but also the lower federal courts, the coordinate branches of government, and the public at large. Id. at *2 (quoting Mistretta v. United States, 488 U.S. 361, 388, 109 S.Ct. 647, 102 L.Ed.2d 714 (1989)) (internal citations omitted) (alteration in original).

Constitutionally, the people are denied Due Process of Law by the Judiciary Act of 1925 which diminishes the majesty, integrity, and the intended structural foundation of the Judiciary which has denied the ABSOLUTE right under the Constitution to petition the ONLY court created by the founding fathers which is this Supreme Court. All other inferior courts are purely statutory courts under Article III, and as such, they can be closed by Congress upon the signing of any act. Article II, Section 1 states clearly:

“The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”

Consequently, the Certiorari Act of 1925 cannot stand as constitutional, giving this Court the discretion to decide whether or not to afford a citizen his Due Process Right to be Heard. The discretion in the Constitution is confined to Congress’ discretion to create inferior courts. Under strict construction, it cannot limit the power of this court to be discretionary for that would defeat the entire structure of the Constitution. The Supreme Court is the only court ordained for the people in a tripartite government originally envisioned by Montesquieu and adopted by the framers of the Constitution necessitated the separation of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches.

Under strict construction, there is no authority in the Constitution to downgrade the Supreme Court as a discretionary court when it is the one court created by the framers and cannot be diminished by Congress. “[I]t is a Constitution we are expounding.” M’Culloch v Maryland, 17 US 326 (1819). “The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land and binds every forum whether it derives its authority from a state of from the United States.” Cook v Moffat 46 US 295 (1847). The Supreme Court held that 28 USC §455 statute government recusal of judges was intended “to provide public confidence in the integrity of the judicial process.” Liljeberg v Health Serv v Corp, 486 US 847, 859-860 (1988). That lofty goal cannot be upheld as long as judges in inferior courts know that the odds of ever being overturned by the Supreme Court are on par with winning the lottery.

Therefore, I do not believe that Congress had the power to reduce the Supreme Court to discretionary rather than fund it to add additional panels to hear every case and then appeal to the top nine justices.
