DOJ Corruption Continues – Biden Justice Dept Caught Spying on Project Veritas and Lying to Judge


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 22, 2022

According to documents reviewed by Project Veritas, the Joe Biden DOJ used subpoenas to Microsoft to gain access to documents and files belonging to James O’Keefe and other journalists at the organization.  The DOJ issued gag orders to the tech firm to stop them from informing Project Veritas about the surveillance, and this DOJ activity continued even after a judge ordered the DOJ to stop exploiting the electronic devices previously seized.

[NEW YORK – Mar. 21, 2022] Bombshell Microsoft Corporation legal documents released by Project Veritas reveal that President Biden’s Department of Justice filed a series of secret warrants, orders, and a subpoena to surreptitiously collect privileged, and constitutionally protected, communications and contacts of eight Project Veritas journalists from Microsoft Corporation. (more)

The moves by the SDNY, as noted by Project Veritas, should not be considered in a vacuum.   The institution of the United States Dept of Justice was disassembled by Barack Obama and Eric Holder in 2009, with specific intent to restructure the institution as a political targeting mechanism working jointly with the new FBI system simultaneously created.

The radical transformation of multiple executive branch agencies into weaponized political operations is the long-lasting legacy of Barack Obama’s terms in office.  The installation of Joe Biden (Obama term 3) was, in part, done to ensure the systems were protected from dismantling while the corrupt cement dried within the system.

To fully appreciate how the four pillars of our new government were established, I would recommend reading the background of how the Fourth Branch of Government was created.

THE Fourth Branch Explained HERE

Unfortunately, until people realize and accept how the cancerous system was created, we are going to continue being abused by it while surrounded by politicians and people falsely saying they know how to fix it.  The solutions offered are akin to giving aspirin to a stage-3 cancer patient.

The real solution requires extremely aggressive surgery, radical surgery, in order to save the patient.  Entire institutions need to be removed from government and replaced with interim agencies with limited scope.  [Ex. Eliminate the FBI completely and replace the critical services with U.S. Marshals for 1 year while a new, smaller, nimbler agency is built from the ground up.]

Tucker Carlson Asks, Is Ukraine the Representative Autocracy Washington DC Hopes To Achieve Here?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 21, 2022 | Sundance

Tucker Carlson used his monologue tonight to note something we have discussed at length here.  Western government leaders continue to make statements about “representative democracy” in comparison to “autocratic non-western government”, yet they make these public statements while personifying autocracy itself.

An example was Joe Biden making statements to the media during a 9-11 commemoration visit to Shanksville Pennsylvania. In his remarks, Joe Biden decried Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladmir Putin as autocrats, yet Biden had just announced forced mandatory medical procedures for all U.S. workers a mere 36 hours before. It is a fact that throughout the last two years – the leaders of Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States have used declarations of emergency to position themselves with massive power.  This is not debatable.

As a consequence, the prior definition of “western representative democracy” collapsed under the weight of COVID-19 and was replaced with unilateral authoritarian emergency power.   When you look around, every single government in the west is still trying to extend those COVID powers by extending the emergency declarations that provide them.   Again, none of this is up for debate; it is empirically true.

Tucker asks a really good question.  Is the autocratic system of government that existed in Ukraine before the Russian invasion – which is (not coincidentally) identical in many ways to the COVID-19 inspired system of government created by Western leaders – actually, the real motive for those western leaders to unite in their support and current propaganda campaign on behalf of Ukraine?  I think he might be onto something.  WATCH:

.

Is western autocracy the real objective, and is modern fascism (i.e. corporatism) the technique to get there?

There is a massive synergy visible if you think about the WEF selecting leaders in this process.  The problem for western leaders, who want to be dictators, has always been the voice of the people.   Replace traditional democracy by merging modern corporatism with a new version of western autocracy, and we end up with a never-ending system of oppressive government just like we have been dealing with for the past two years throughout the pandemic.

“They are starting to notice the quiet part”…

Bondo Barr Gives His Review of Biden Campaign Lies Surrounding Hunter Biden Laptop


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 21, 2022 

Institutional preservation is the goal.  Bill Barr was the bondo application, John Durham is the spray paint.

In this segment from earlier today, former U.S. Attorney General Bill ‘Bondo’ Barr notes he was “shocked” during the 2020 campaign when Joe Biden lied about his son’s laptop, and Bondo Barr was very disappointed by 50 of his DC peers providing cover for the lies from the Biden campaign.

The Largest Humanitarian Crisis That No One Discusses


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Yemen has been at war for the past seven years. A once great land of ancient trade, Yemen has become one of the poorest nations in the Arab world. Their GDP for 2021 was expected to reach only 26.9 billion USD. The World Bank estimated that over half of Yemen’s population lived in poverty prior to the pandemic, and that figure has now reached 71% to 78%.

The United Nations recently declared that 19 million people will go hungry in the coming months. Yemen is completely reliant on exports for basic necessities and 90% of its food supply is imported. One-third of imported wheat comes from Ukraine and Russia. The World Food Programme (WFP) said five million people are at “immediate risk” of slipping into famine-like conditions, and that their program needs $887.9 million to feed 13 million people over the next six months. Over 20.5 million people are without safe water as well.

Around 75% of the $14 billion donated to the nation came from the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, and the European Commission. The World Bank expects inflation to reach 45% in Yemen this year but the rial is already worthless and the nation has yet to adopt a safe reserve currency.

I have yet to see a Yemeni flag or virtue signaling for the people living in this particular war-torn country as it is not part of the agenda. The media rarely reports on Yemen and most journalists likely would not be able to recognize Yemen’s flag. People are not driving around with “We Stand With Yemen” bumper stickers, and schools are not requiring children to make sense of this war. The public does not discuss or shed tears for the people of Yemen who live in unfathomable conditions because they are not a piece of the larger agenda and no one can profit off of their suffering at this time.

BRICS Is Working, India Purchases 3 million Barrels Russian Crude This Week


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 18, 2022 | Sundance

A report in the AP shows the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) trade alliance seems to remain strong despite western sanctions.  India admitted to purchasing 3 million barrels of Russian oil at a 20% discount rate this week.

There’s no mention of how the purchase will be transacted, what currency they would use; however, the top-line story of India refusing to follow western trade sanctions reflects the BRICS alliance is delivering economic results.

[Via AP] – […] NEW DELHI — The state-run Indian Oil Corp. bought 3 million barrels of crude oil from Russia earlier this week to secure its energy needs, resisting Western pressure to avoid such purchases, an Indian government official said Friday.

The official said India has not imposed sanctions against buying oil and will be looking to purchase more from Russia despite calls not to from the U.S. and other countries.

The United States, Britain and other western countries are urging India to avoid buying Russian oil and gas. Indian media reports said Russia was offering a discount on oil purchases of 20% below global benchmark prices.

Such prices have surged in recent weeks, posing a huge burden for countries like India, which imports 85% of the oil it consumes. Its demand is projected to jump 8.2% this year to 5.15 million barrels per day as the economy recovers from the devastation caused by the pandemic. (read more)

Energy Secretary Admits White House Using Ukraine Crisis as “Urgent Moment” To Transition US to Clean Energy


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 16, 2022 | Sundance 

Following the familiar pattern of never letting a crisis go to waste, the Biden administration has now admitted their intent, with the opportunity Ukraine represents, is to fundamentally change the U.S. energy program to Green New Deal objectives.

As they did with the COVID crisis, it is not the actual crisis that matters, but the government response to the crisis.  That response is what triggers the fundamental change.  As noted by Keeler, “there is no reason a contained conflict on the edges of Europe should be fundamentally altering the global financial system. The hysterical overreaction is doing that, as it was intended to.”

The same approach applies to oil and a totally new energy program. Jennifer Granholm claims that the crisis in Europe is an “urgent moment” to transition to “clean energy.”  Secretary Jennifer Granholm made the admission recently during remarks at a climate change discussion, while seated next to John Podesta {Direct Rumble Link}, WATCH:

U.S. Retail Sales Collapse as Govt and Media Attempt Denial That Economy Is Contracting


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 16, 2022 | Sundance 

Move along, move along folks… please do not pay attention to the fire raging downtown, the suburbs are so nice this time of year… move along folks, look shiny Ukraine thing over there…

When retail sales are calculated, they are calculated in dollars.  Any recorded increase in retail sales that does not exceed the price increases in those items is factually reflecting a drop in units sold.

Ex. – if you sell 300 items at $1.00 each, you have $300 in sales.  If you sell 250 items at $1.25 each, you have $312.50 in sales.  Technically, you have a 4.1% increase in sales.  However, you have sold 17% less items (50 units).

When you are selling less stuff, your business (economy) is contracting, not expanding.  We have been in this contracting cycle (an actual production recession) since May/June of last year; however, the contraction has not been recognized because massive inflation is hiding it.  That, my friends, is the painful truth and it spells big trouble ahead.

(AP) […] Retail sales increased 0.3% after registering a revised 4.9% jump from December to January, fueled by wage gains, solid hiring and more money in banking accounts, according to the Commerce Department. January’s increase was the biggest jump in spending since last March, when American households received a final federal stimulus check of $1,400.

Business at furniture and home furnishing stores fell 1% in February, while sales at consumer electronics and appliance stores slipped 0.6%. General merchandise stores saw business down 0.2%, while online sales fell 3.7%. Restaurant sales rose 2.5% as shoppers shift more of their spending to services as the threat of COVID-19 fades. (read more)

Take the figures above and compare them to the sector inflation in February (Table-2, BLS Report)  – Just sticking to what is above:

  • Furniture prices rose 0.8% in Feb, total furniture sales dropped 1.0%
  • Electronics and appliances rose around 1.8% in Feb, sales dropped 0.6%
  • Online sales items rose in price around 0.5%, sales dropped 3.7%

.

What this reflects is an actual contraction much greater than the dollar drop in sales.   In most cases the unit sales dropped at a rate six times the price difference.  If you reverse engineer the math, the average is approximately a 15% reduction in durable good units purchased.

In a very macro perspective, that means the U.S. economy overall has approximately 15% too much labor in the sectors associated with the categories of goods that people have stopped purchasing.  This means people working in the durable goods sector, production, assembly, transportation, delivery and retail sales staff, are about to get laid off work, RIF’d and downsized.

Math is math, and inflation clouds the realities of the economy.

Ordinary people are prioritizing spending and watching their wages get chewed up by higher prices for food, energy, fuel and housing.  If you live in a predominantly working class or blue-collar area, when you start seeing contraction locally, you can be sure it will show up nationally.

Prepare for a long-duration recession, combined with increasingly costly energy costs.

However, do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.  Instead, empower yourself.  Take action today to evaluate your expenses and then ask how can I lower those expense costs by modifying my habits?  Think strategically about convenience -vs- costs -vs- how much your own time is worth.

You may not need to modify anything.  Or you may need to reevaluate priorities in order to help your kids or grandkids.

Be wise.

Be the hero for your family.

Be strong.

Be proactive.

Above all, be thankful to a loving God.  No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Stay humble in your expectations, stay connected to your stabilized core self, and embrace fellowship.

This too shall pass.

Their Medicine is Poison


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Mar 16, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Pfizer chief Albert Bourla is now insisting that the COVID vaccine will be needed annually, akin to a flu shot. “It is necessary, a fourth booster right now,” Bourla said. “The protection that you are getting from the third, it is good enough, actually quite good for hospitalizations and deaths.” It is quite good for hospitalizations and deaths. VAERS has reported that myocarditis is on the rise, especially among otherwise healthy teenagers.

VAERS found that myocarditis alarmingly rose by 47% in the first two months of 2022. VAERS recorded 24,177 cases of pericarditis/myocarditis in 2021 but tallied 11,289 cases in the first eight weeks of the new year. Before Pfizer released their vaccine, 23% of those in the trial group experienced adverse events,  while over 1,200 people died. Any other trial would have been immediately discontinued. Health agencies would, under other circumstances, approve a “medicine” with such a high probability of causing death or extreme adverse side effects.

Sadly, young people are much more likely to experience pericarditis/myocarditis. This is a ticking time bomb. When an increasing number of otherwise healthy teens and young adults begin dying from heart problems, there will be a price to pay. Big Pharma may be immune but the people who forced the population to take this poison are not. The side effects from the gene-editing vaccine are in no way comparable to the flu vaccine, as the data notes, with people of all ages experiencing far worse side effects.

These are only the short-term side effects, but if this trend continues we should expect many more vaccine victims to step forward. Our model warned that Pfizer would peak in 2022. I do not understand how anyone could sign up for a fourth dose of this poison when there is evidence that it is killing people.

Uber and Lyft Charging Gas Surcharge Fees


Armstrong Economics Blog/Energy Re-Posted Mar 16, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Both Uber and Lyft announced plans to add a fuel surcharge for all rides and deliveries. The average driver in the US is now paying $4.32 per gallon of regular-grade fuel. In comparison, the average driver was only paying $2.86 for regular fuel one year ago, which was considered high at the time.

Uber will add a fee of $0.45 to $0.55 per trip, and deliveries will cost an additional $0.35 to $0.45. The company is implementing surcharges in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They believe the surcharge will last for two months, which seems baseless considering the energy crisis shows no signs of slowing. The surcharge will apply to electric vehicles as well.

Lyft followed suit and added a surcharge as well. “Driver earnings overall remain elevated compared to last year, but given the rapid rise in gas prices we’ll be asking riders to pay a temporary fuel surcharge, all of which will go to drivers,” CEO CJ Macklin said. Both companies said that the extra payment will go directly to their drivers, but driving for either company may seem less appealing. The average cost of gas is up over $0.26 in the past week, and the surcharge is likely not enough to account for the extra costs that drivers will face at the pump.

Earlier today, the installed occupant of the White House, Joe Biden, announced, “the first lady’s husband has COVID”, then someone off camera interrupted him to remind him the First Lady’s husband would be him.  Apparently, what Joe Biden was attempting to convey was that Kamala Harris’s husband has contracted COVID… It was very awkward. WATCH:
