Biosurveillance Coming to an Airport Near You Re-Posted Nov 13, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 


cdc headquarters

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that it will begin screening travelers at airports for COVID and other viruses. Did you think the governments would actually let go of the power they usurped after COVID? The government turned a blind eye to the MILLIONS of illegals entering America from around the world. No one cared about what illnesses they brought with them. The program is intended to target Americans and international travelers who are here legally. Our freedom of movement is at risk for a variety of reasons, and this is merely another step toward the coming restrictions.

CDC Passports

Not only does the government want to restrict our movement, but they also want our biological data. The Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance program collects nasal swab samples from volunteers at six major US international airports. The program began after COVID was released on the population, and they have only expanded their reach. This is not merely a government surveillance program as both Ginkgo Bioworks and XpresSpa Group, which are private and publicly traded organizations, have partnered with the CDC to collect data. The goal? Biosurveillance.

“TGS is a flexible, multimodal platform that consists of three complementary approaches of sample collection from arriving international travelers at U.S. airports, including voluntary nasal swabbing, aircraft wastewater, and airport wastewater sampling to enhance early detection of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and other pathogens, and fills gaps in global surveillance,” the various newsletters states. The government does not care about our drinking water (see: Flint, East Palestine, etc.). They could easily claim contamination and prevent planes from leaving. Also, I don’t know about you, but if I am traveling the last thing I want to do is stop for a medical assessment. This program will only remain voluntary for a limited time.

New York, JFK, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington DC, Dulles will be the first testing zones before this is rolled out to the entire country. “Enhancing surveillance capacity for global mass gathering/migration events,” has been listed as a main goal on the CDC’s website. “Migration events” is an interesting propaganda phrase. We have passports, visas, and other programs in place to track those coming and going. The migration event at the southern border has been of no concern since Biden entered the White House.

In other words, private companies are partnering with the CDC to provide the government with bio data to track everyone who is legally traveling to and from America. They want to keep track of their pawns and will collect our individual bio data to do so. They now have an excuse to prohibit us from traveling or restricting our freedom of movement. Taking it a step further, they believe they can program our DNA like code and control nature, but that is a topic for another time.

CDC Confirms Only 3% of Eligible Americans Have Taken COVID Booster Shot – FDA Confirms May Slightly Increase Strokes in Those Over 85


Posted originally on the CTH on October 25, 2023 | Sundance

Sheesh, talk about the timing of two different articles.  Politico reported yesterday that CDC officials admit only 3% of eligible Americans have chosen to get the latest COVID-19 booster shot, although there could be some delay in reporting.

WASHINGTON – The Biden administration’s campaign to convince Americans to get an annual Covid shot is off to a very slow start.  Even so, the nation’s top disease-fighting official says the U.S. remains “on track” to hit last year’s uptake levels, which crested at just 17 percent of the U.S. population. (more)

Today, the FDA announces when COVID booster is combined with Flu shot, there is a slight elevated risk of blood clots causing stroke in people over the age 85.

CNN –  Vaccines for Covid-19 and influenza may slightly increase the risk of strokes caused by blood clots in the brains of seniors, particularly when the two vaccines are given at the same time and when they are given to adults who are age 85 and older, according to a new study.

The safety signal was detected by experts at the US Food and Drug Administration who analyzed data from Medicare claims.

It is the second study to find an elevated risk of stroke for seniors after Covid-19 and flu vaccinations given together. The US Centers for Disease Control and FDA issued a public communication in January explaining that one of their near real-time vaccine safety monitoring studies—called the Vaccine Safety Datalink–had picked up a small and uncertain risk of stroke for older adults who received a dose of Pfizer’s bivalent Covid-19 vaccine and a high-dose or adjuvanted flu shot on the same day. That study triggered the FDA’s broader look at strokes after vaccination noted in the medical records of seniors on Medicare. (read more)

Meanwhile, trust in U.S. government institutions is at an all-time low.

PEW RESEARCH – Public trust in the federal government, which has been low for decades, has returned to near record lows following a modest uptick in 2020 and 2021. Currently, fewer than two-in-ten Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (1%) or “most of the time” (15%). This is among the lowest trust measures in nearly seven decades of polling. Last year, 20% said they trusted the government just about always or most of the time. (read more)

Gee, ya think?

None of this is related folks….  It’s all just disconnected. Swear!

Meanwhile, Suspicious Cat remains, well,… increasingly suspicious.

German Authorities KIDNAP Reiner Fuellmich in Mexico – Interview with Fuellmich and the COVID Investigation Committee


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Reiner Fuellmich, an attorney and international freedom advocate, has been detained by German authorities. Fuellmich is the leader of the International Crimes Investigative Committee and works with the Corona Investigation Committee, which is working to unveil the criminality surrounding the release of Covid and the criminal response that engulfed basically every country in the world. I was asked to speak on this committee in April 2022, and I can tell you that Fuellmich is no criminal. His only crime is being a staunch advocate of the people and investigating the government’s crimes against humanity.

The charges against Fuellmich remain unclear at this point, but he was reportedly lured into the German embassy in Mexico, where he was kidnapped. What are his charges? It was not an arrest as he has not committed a crime. He was led to believe that he was exchanging his passport at the embassy when he was taken away. This is clearly a case of the government silencing dissenters who defy them by speaking the truth. The people brave enough to speak on these topics know the risks involved.

Protests against the German government are being planned by those who support Fuellmich and his crucial work against the medical tyranny imposed during COVID. The arrest of Fuellmich will exacerbate the criminalization of politics, and the timing of his arrest is suspicious, as it comes amid the start of the next major global conflict.

Emanuel Pastreich of  Global Research posted the following message, explaining why we must not allow what remains of the rule of law to be abolished.“We know that if we do not stop this effort to destroy the rule of law, at every level, to create a separate realm that belongs only to the very wealthy and powerful, that we are guaranteed a global fascistic system which will, if it can, exterminate us in precisely the way that was attempted in Europe in the 1940s. I want to also stress that this effort to suppress someone working so hard to enforce the rule of law and to bring the truth to everybody, at precisely the moment that a drive is on to start a world war between Israel and Iran, including the United States, and conceivably many other countries, is no coincidence, but in fact they are parallel. One is an effort to force-feed us war as the basis for law, governance, and the economy; and the other is an attempt to destroy all the foundations for the rule of law and for rights for citizens. Finally, I want to say that although I fully understand those of you who have felt skeptical, doubtful, of my campaign, and who feel that perhaps someone like Robert Kennedy Junior, or perhaps Professor Cornel West, would be more appropriate, maybe more famous, or maybe (freer) to show up (in) the media, to be on CNN or Democracy Now, that there is good reason to at this moment to support me because I am literally the only one who is capable of addressing the true crimes and the true threats that we face today. If we cannot name the crimes, if we cannot identify the enemy, there is no way that either beautiful words, or rapid action, can have any possible positive outcome. And we know all too well that these invisible powers have already set up for us a baited gambit, giving us false choices, whether it be between Trump and Biden, or Hamas and Israel –the Israeli military, choices which are intended to confuse us and to divide us against each other so that we cannot come together in opposition to this domination of the entire world by the billionaire class.”

FDA Approves COVID Election Booster to Begin Immediately


Posted originally on the CTH on September 11, 2023 | Sundance 

As expected, the FDA has approved a new series of COVID-19 “booster” vaccines which are immediately available for anyone who trusts the institutions of government to be focused on your health and wellbeing.   For everyone else, hard pass.

“The FDA is confident in the safety and effectiveness of these updated vaccines and the agency’s benefit-risk assessment demonstrates that the benefits of these vaccines for individuals 6 months of age and older outweigh their risks.”

FDA – Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took action approving and authorizing for emergency use updated COVID-19 vaccines formulated to more closely target currently circulating variants and to provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death. Today’s actions relate to updated mRNA vaccines for 2023-2024 manufactured by ModernaTX Inc. and Pfizer Inc. Consistent with the totality of the evidence and input from the FDA’s expert advisors, these vaccines have been updated to include a monovalent (single) component that corresponds to the Omicron variant XBB.1.5.

What You Need to Know

• Individuals 5 years of age and older regardless of previous vaccination are eligible to receive a single dose of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least 2 months since the last dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.

• Individuals 6 months through 4 years of age who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 are eligible to receive one or two doses of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (timing and number of doses to administer depends on the previous COVID-19 vaccine received).

• Unvaccinated individuals 6 months through 4 years of age are eligible to receive three doses of the updated authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or two doses of the updated authorized Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.

• The FDA is confident in the safety and effectiveness of these updated vaccines and the agency’s benefit-risk assessment demonstrates that the benefits of these vaccines for individuals 6 months of age and older outweigh their risks.

• Individuals who receive an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may experience similar side effects as those reported by individuals who previously received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines as described in the respective prescribing information or fact sheets.

• The updated vaccines are expected to provide good protection against COVID-19 from the currently circulating variants. Barring the emergence of a markedly more virulent variant, the FDA anticipates that the composition of COVID-19 vaccines may need to be updated annually, as is done for the seasonal influenza vaccine.

• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet tomorrow (Sept. 12), to discuss clinical recommendations on who should receive an updated vaccine, as well as further considerations for specific populations such as immunocompromised and older individuals.

• Manufacturers have publicly announced that the updated vaccines would be ready this fall, and the FDA anticipates that the updated vaccines will be available in the near future. (read more)

New Covid Booster Shot Will Be Available Next Week, Just Before Expected Primary Election Season Surge


Posted originally on the CTH September 7, 2023 | Sundance 

According to media reports, the primary election variant of COVID-19 is rapidly approaching.  The COVID-19 booster shot is arriving in time to support the narrative.

I’ve lost track but I think this is COVID booster #7 for most sheeple.

(NewsNation) — A new COVID-19 booster could be coming next week, just in time for an expected surge in cases heading into the fall.

The Federal Drug Administration is expected to approve the updated shots as early as Friday, according to NBC News. That would pave the way for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to give final approval next week. The CDC’s panel of independent advisers is set to meet Tuesday, WABC-TV reported.

COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are rising by double-digit percentages, according to CDC data, though rates remain far below pandemic-era levels.

When will it be available? Potentially, as soon as Sept. 13.

First, the FDA will meet — possibly this week — to approve the shot. After it does, a panel of independent advisers to the CDC will meet and recommend who should be eligible for the shots. The panel is set to meet on Tuesday.

What’s new about this booster? The latest shot will target the XBB.1.5 omicron subvariant. While CDC data shows it’s no longer the dominant strain, the updated booster should protect against other current subvariants, NBC News reported, citing drugmakers and experts. EG.5 is the current dominant strain.

Moderna claims its new vaccine is effective against the newly emerged B.2.86 variant, unofficially dubbed “Pirola,” which the CDC has warned may be more infectious than other strains among those who have had COVID before. (read more)

The Freedom to Breathe Act  


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Sep 7, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The White House has announced that the President will be wearing a mask indoors again after the First Lady contracted COVID. “As far as the steps he is taking since the President was with the First Lady yesterday he will be masking while indoors and around people in alignment with CDC guidance,” Jean-Pierre stated. Yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has admitted that cloth masks have never been effective. Senator JD Vance of Ohio is now introducing legislation to ban politicians from implementing mask mandates.

The Freedom to Breathe Act would prevent the elites from forcing the public to wear masks for any reason. The proposed bill would:

  • Prohibit any federal official, including the President, from issuing an order requiring individuals to wear a mask or other face covering on any passenger flight in the U.S. national airspace system, on public transit, or in school (primary, secondary, and colleges);
  • Block Commercial Air Carriers, public transit authorities, and all educational institutions from refusing service to anyone who declines to wear a mask or other face covering;
  • Prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from requiring plane or train passengers and students to wear a mask or face covering in response to a public health emergency;
  • Restrict federal spending to propose, establish, implement, or enforce a mask requirement on airline and public transit passengers and students;
  • Require all agencies issue new and revised guidance within 90 days of enactment to implement the law and preempt all other laws or guidance contrary to the Act.

It will be hard to pass these bans in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Senator Ted Cruz attempted to introduce a similar bill in January called the No Mask Mandates Act of 2023. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the last mask mandate in April 2022 that would have required people to wear some form of fabric on half their faces on public transportation. But they were able to do so since Biden had recently declared an end to the COVID emergency, which he could and likely will bring back.

Each piece of media regarding a COVID resurgence is intended to test the waters. How will the public respond? Will they willingly submit? Fauci himself said he worries people will not obey the next round of mandates. They begin with mask mandates and make the jump to vaccines. We know they are producing a new vaccine for the fall, and if it is anything like the last go-around, they will be pushing propaganda to demonize the anti-vaxxers who they deem responsible for the entire pandemic.

The Media Wants Us to Know That Jill Biden Has COVID – The Primary Election Variant


Posted originally on the September 5, 2023 | Sundance | 229 Comments

Does anyone really care?  I mean, HIPAA laws prohibit the public display of health information. So, when the people behind the wife of Joe Biden want to proclaim that she has the newest and fashionable variant of COVID, there’s generally a narrative engineering reason for it.

I’m sure Jill Biden will not be the last to promote their infected status, there’s certain to be a line of Hollywood and pop culture figures enlisted in the useful narrative.  However, it will be interesting to see just how many people play along this time.

WASHINGTON DC – First lady Jill Biden tested positive for Covid-19 Monday evening and is “currently experiencing only mild symptoms,” according to the White House.

The first lady, 72, will remain at her home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., her communications director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement. She has been vaccinated and received boosters. (read more)

CNN steps in with the narrative enhancement, “Jill Biden’s diagnosis comes amid renewed attention to Covid-19 as the world approaches the fourth virus season since the coronavirus arrived on the scene.  US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from earlier in the summer showed a slight increase in hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and positive Covid-19 tests – although not nearly as high as in past summers.”

New York City Recommending Masks Again, New COVID Variant


Posted originally on the CTHSeptember 1, 2023 | Sundance 

There has been increasingly visible media promotion of various municipalities reinstituting mask recommendations to battle a new BA.2.86 covid variant.

Today, the New York City Dept of Health became the latest large metropolitan area to recommend the return to face masks; however, no government mandates yet.

[…] Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, along with other proven prevention tools – like masking, testing, and staying home when sick – continue to be our best defense against COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. (link)

Lab Leak – Wall Street Journal Confirms Three Wuhan Scientists Likely Contracted SARS-COV-2 in November 2019


Posted originally on the CTH on June 20, 2023 | Sundance 

The Wall Street Journal confirms earlier independent reporting today that three Chinese scientists from the Wuhan lab fell ill in November 2019 with a likely COVID-19 viral transmission.  WSJ writes, “the researchers’ names were noted last week in an article in Public, which publishes on the Substack platform, and were independently confirmed by the Journal.”

WSJ – […] “Ben Hu, a scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who had done extensive laboratory research on how coronaviruses infect humans, was identified in U.S. intelligence reports as one of the researchers who became ill in November 2019 with symptoms that American officials said were consistent with either Covid-19 or a seasonal illness. None of the researchers died.

[…] The current and former U.S. officials told the Journal the three who fell ill were Hu; Yu Ping, a Chinese scientist who wrote a 2019 thesis on SARS-related coronaviruses found in bats; and another scientist named Yan Zhu.

[…] November 2019 is roughly when many epidemiologists and virologists think SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the Covid-19 pandemic, first began circulating around Wuhan, a city in central China. China has said that the first confirmed case was a man who fell ill on Dec. 8, 2019.

Hu is a leading researcher on coronaviruses who worked closely with Shi Zhengli, the leading expert on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Much of Hu’s research focused on modifying coronaviruses so they could bind to human cells.

The stated purpose of the research was to identify viruses that could lead to a pandemic and facilitate the development of a vaccine. Critics say that such research requires stringent precautions because such work can make the viruses in the lab more infections for humans.

Yu Ping, who also worked for the institute along with Zhu, is an expert on the geographic spread of coronaviruses and wrote a thesis that was the first to describe a new family of SARS-like coronaviruses that are most closely related to SARS-CoV-2. (read more)

With additional mounting evidence of the lab leak in Wuhan as the originating source of the pandemic, it is worth revisiting the statements from former Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell back in 2020 when the intelligence community was dismissing the lab leak theory.

2020 – Politico […] Morell noted separately on Thursday that if the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab, the U.S. would shoulder some of the blame since it funded research at that lab through government grants from 2014-2019.

The National Institutes of Health said in a statement on Thursday that a $3.4 million grant awarded to EcoHealth Alliance, which in turn awarded funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology over the last 6 years, had been terminated but didn’t say why. “Any questions related to the origins of the outbreak should be directed to ODNI,” the statement said.

“If it did escape from the lab, not only bad on China but also bad on the U.S. for giving funding to a lab with safety concerns,” Morell said, referring toState Department cables from early 2018 that warned of the lab’s risky coronavirus experiments and shortage of trained technicians.

“So if it did escape,” he added, “we’re all in this together.” (link)

Thus, the motive for the U.S. government to deny any role in creating the virus that was unleashed unto the world.

Move along… move along…
