Liars Club 1 – Multinationals, Media and Politicians Attempting to Blame Russia-Ukraine for Rising Gas Prices

Global oil prices are rising specifically due to governmental policy that’s driven by the talking script of the World Economic Forum and the ‘climate change’ financial manipulators who give the politicians their instructions.  However, in this new era of pretending not to know things, the upside down through the looking glass mirror of our bizarre reality, virtually every corporate mouthpiece cannot break the Multinational code of omerta.

We truly are living in an era where the truth & consequences must be hidden in order to maintain a centrally orchestrated narrative.

The ultimate victims of this new multinational corporatism (fascism reversed with corporations telling government what do) are the middle class represented on every continent by yellow vests, MAGA hats and currently truckers.

We know it, they know it and they know that we know it; yet, the deep little lies inside the bigger lie must be maintained.  The Code of Omerta must not be broken.

In the U.S., the people behind Joe Biden must retain the ruse of centralized lying and citizen manipulation. In France, it’s Emmanuel Macron.  In Victoria, Australia, the jackboots of Daniel Andrews have been deployed to retain the ruse of their little lies.  The House of cards in New Zealand is propped up by the smiley-faced facist Jacinda Ardern, and more recently their Canadian cousin, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has invoked the Emergency Act to retain the control mechanisms.

You can almost see Klaus Schwab smiling as the digital identity starts to take shape while the mechanisms for carbon trading await the beta test completion.  Yes, the population will be granted environmental justice, and carbon trade exchanges will apportion to each according to their contribution.   Of course, you can always buy a few extra hours of energy use if you can afford it.

Behind all of the current anxiety, schemes and machinations sits the library of rules and regulations transcribed into every legislative language that will be needed.  It’s only a matter of time…. unless, well, unless the truckers, yellow vests and red hats are able to disrupt the plan.

A small, seemingly innocuous, reference point that highlights the bigger of the biggest picture is the current need for the multinational stenographers to use the convenient geopolitical fraud of a Russia-Ukraine conflict to justify current rising oil prices and the subsequent gasoline costs.

Pay no attention to the cancellation of drilling leases, shuttered pipelines, regulated refineries being blocked and/or coal being defined as the black death of the planet.

Comrade dissidents, to believe the current price of oil is related to Russia and Ukraine, is to convince yourself that Joe Biden writes his own speeches.

(US News) […] Drivers best start bracing for another surge in gas prices amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and years of under-investment by the oil industry, warns one veteran energy strategist.

“My guess is that you are going to see $5 a gallon at any triple-digit [oil prices] … as soon as you get to $100. And you might get to $6.50 or $7.

Oil prices have been red-hot lately as geopolitical tensions rise between Russia and the rest of the world.

WTI crude oil has climbed 13% in the past month to $94 a barrel. Russia produces 10 million barrels of oil a day, the equivalent of 10% of global demand. Any loss of that oil due to geopolitical issues could cause a tightly supplied market to become tighter, pushing prices for the hydrocarbon up.

The march up in oil has pushed gas prices further higher from already elevated levels. (read more)

The average price nationally for gas currently stands at $3.47.  The national average stood at $2.44 a year ago.  The rapid rise in prices is contributing to inflation across the economy and is creating a crisis for the working class.

Yes, a sitting president can and does influence the price of gasoline.  What can a U.S. President and administration specifically do?  We have abundant U.S. energy resources.  Quite literally the strongest in the entire world.

  • Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
  • Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
  • Re-approve the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
  • Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
  • Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
  • Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
  • Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.

.

Unfortunately, this would mean reversing the entire energy policy of the current administration.  The existing energy inflation and high prices of oil, natural gas and gasoline are a direct and intentional part of Joe Biden policy.  That policy is driven by the leftist demand for a “green new deal.”

None of the actions above require any approval from OPEC.  Strategically the ‘all of the above’ approach enhances U.S. national security and diminishes the influence of Russia, China and Iran.  Within six months of the above, gasoline would plummet.

Globalist climate change policies, as showcased within the Joe Biden energy policy, are the driving force of inflation.  It’s not COVID-19, and it damned sure isn’t Ukraine or Russia.

If they are successful with the digital id, I guarantee you it will connect to government-controlled carbon allowances within 5 years.

Durham is only Scratching the Surface of Hillary


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Feb 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

I found myself in the middle of a political scandal that nobody in the West was willing to dare write about – more dirt on the Clintons. Even now with the breaking news that Special Counsel John Durham in a filing related to a criminal charge brought against Michael Sussman, an attorney for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, he revealed what Mr. Trump and his supporters have suspected all along; that Clinton’s campaign created the conspiracy theory to discredit Trump and alter the outcome of the 2016 election.

What Durham has uncovered was that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign conspired to spy on Donald Trump as a candidate and as president. You would think that this should be all over the headlines as when Nixon’s boys invaded the Democratic Headquarters – Watergate. Yet as this turns out, any mention of Durham is ignored because the tables are turned. The press has loved bashing Trump and constantly portrayed him as Putin’s puppet. But because they were eager to bash Trump and were played by Hillary for biased fools, there is no mention of Durham. Of course, Newsweek’s Madam President copies go for a few hundred dollars these days.

That the Press has determined this story is not to be seen by the public for it makes them look like corrupt fools is just an astonishing statement of the decline of the media in the United States. Trump directly responded on the matter:

“This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution.

“In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death. In addition, reparations should be paid to those in our country who have been damaged by this.”

I believe it was Hillary who turned a blind eye to the Bankers given them the nod to take over Russia. The takeover was orchestrated by Edmond Safra of Republic National Bank based upon reliable information and belief. They convinced Yeltsin to take $7 billion from the IMF loans and to wire it to Geneva via the Bank of New York. Even CNN reported on September 1st, 1999 that the money was stolen from the IMF loans.

CNN Theft of IMF Money – Sep. 1, 1999

As soon as the wire took place, Republic National Bank ran to the Department of Justice and reported that Bank of New York had just engaged in money laundering. This was laid out in the Documentary funded by the German TV Station which ended up being banned in the USA. Netflix wanted the film and then someone called them and stopped it from being viewed. It is on Amazon Prime, but only for those outside the USA.

Once Republic National Bank ran to the DOJ, that is when they blackmailed Yeltsin to not run in 2000 and appoint their buddy, Borris Berezovsky. Once Yeltsin realized he was set up by New York Bankers, he turned to Putin and made his heir in August 1999. Safra fled to Monaco and that is where he was killed. Dominick Dunn wrote about that in Vanity Fair – Death in Monaco. Berezovsky fled to Britain where he suddenly hung himself. I spent 7 years in civil contempt because I refused to plead to being in any conspiracy with Safra.

This is why Hillary blamed Putin for interfering in the 2016 election. She thought it was retaliation for her support of the US interference into the Russian 2000 election headed by the bankers. The company that Safra wanted me to invest $10 billion in was Hermitage Capital operating in Russia with his partner Bill Browder, former right hand man to Ghislaine Maxwell’s father Robert Maxwell of Epstein’s fame. That was seized by Putin and the accountant Magnitsky was murdered in prison most like on the orders of those invoved to protect the entire plot.

Who sponsored the Magnitsky Act which was retaliance to cover-up the entire plot? None other than John McCain, Hillary’s buddy who also just so happened to have handed her fake dossier on Trump to Comey at the FBI. Durham has only scratched the surface and there is no way the American press will allow this story to surface.The documentary on the Magnitsky Affair has also been banned in Europe and the United States. So much for the freedom of information.

Most Democrats Do Not Want Biden to Run in 2024


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Feb 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The majority of Democrats (51%), stated that they do not want Joe Biden to run for office in 2024. The findings come from a CNN survey that polled 1,527 American voters. Around 70% of his strongest supporters who somehow approve of his handling of the country said that they’d renominate him, but among the increasing number of moderate Democrats, only 35% said they’d check his name off on the ballot.

Among the Democrats who stated they did not want to see Biden in office, 35% specified they did not believe he could beat a Republican candidate, while 31% simply stated they do not want him to be reelected. Around 18% of Democrats said they’re concerned about Biden’s age, as he will be 82 by November 2024. Who would replace Biden? Only 12% of Democrats had a specific candidate in mind, with 5% admitting they had no opinion on the matter.

Half of Republican voters would like to see Trump reenter the White House, 49% said they’d like a new candidate, while 1% had no opinion. Among those who do not support a Trump 2024 run, 39% said they simply do not want him to be president while 22% stated they do not believe he could win against the Democrats. Governor Ron DeSantis is already the preferred candidate behind Trump, winning the support of 21% of voters while no other potential alternative candidate received more than 1% of support (Donald Trump Jr., Rand Paul, Mike Pence, and Ted Cruz were among some of the alternative candidates who each received the support of 1% of voters).

The Democrats are already doing everything in their power to dismiss the possibility of a second Trump presidency. Republican voters still support him, however, and as a whole seem to be on the same page. As I have stated in the past, I believe the Republicans will push Ron DeSantis to run during the next election. With the help of the progressives, the Democrats have lost all power as a collective and do not where to turn.

India’s Ambassador: Trudeau is an Embarrassment to Canada & India


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

India’s ambassador, Deepak Vohra, tears into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his blatant hypocrisy. Last year when thousands of farmers protested in Delhi, causing blockades, Trudeau was in support of the protestors and urged the Indian government to have a dialogue with the disgruntled farmers.

“The fellow who was trying to give us advice has actually gone into hiding,” Vohra stated. “He has betrayed their trust. The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies, it comes from those you have faith in. Some of the most poisonous people come disguised as friends and family.”

“My motto has been to always protect the oppressed, even if he is my enemy,” Vohra said, “But I will never forgive the traitor, even if he is my friend.”

Gulf War Reparations


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Feb 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Iraq finalized its $52.4 billion reparation payment for its 1990 invasion of Kuwait, according to the United Nations. Under Saddam Hussein, 100,000 Iraqi troops occupied Kuwait in search of oil on August 2, 1990, leading to the first Gulf War. Iraq retreated from Kuwait in February 1991 after the United Nations Security Council placed embargos and sanctions on the nation. The United States under former President George H.W. Bush invaded to help liberate the people of Kuwait, and years later publicly executed Saddam Hussein after the Iraq War under former President George W. Bush.

There is outrage surrounding the payment as some feel the Iraqi people should not be punished for the actions of their previous dictator. However, that is not how reparations work. After Hitler committed suicide, Germany was still forced to pay reparations, albeit leading to economic ruin. However, under the London Agreement in 1953, Germany’s foreign creditors cut the nation’s payment in half.

The second Bush Administration pushed to forgive some of Iraq’s debt in order to stabilize the nation. In the end, whoever loses the war has to pay up and the victor can choose whether or not to forgive some of the debt. However, in the case of the Gulf War, this was not the US’ decision to make. UN Compensation Commission (UNCC) processed 2.7 million claims totaling $352.5 billion but approved the $52.4 billion payment for 1.5 million claims. The largest payment went to Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) for $14.7 billion to pay for the damage caused by burning oil wells.

“With the final payment of compensation made on 13 January 2022, all compensation awarded by the Commission has now been paid in full,” the UNCC declared. Iraq’s current GDP as of 2020 sits at $167.22 million, representing 0.15% of the global economy. Dictators can leave lasting damage on their nation’s citizens for decades, and this is no exception.

Veritas Exposes FDA


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Feb 16, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

We have to end the corruption of private organizations donating ANY money to the FDA, NIH, or CDC. We cannot trust ANYTHING these people now approve as long as they are taking money from the very companies that benefit from these approvals. Write to Senators & Congressman demanding an end to this corruption. FDA takes money from Gates as well. This amounts to bribery of federal officials which is an outright crime. The very fact that the FDA asked for 75 years before releasing COVID test data is clearly hiding something. Under emergency status, the standard is they can claim if 6 people out of 10 were OK without side-effects, then that is OK. They can literally kill 40% of the population under this emergency standard. When will the government STOP assisting the World Economic Forum in this desperate takeover of the world economy to force Schwab’s economics theory using COVID?

CDC Announce Prior COVID Test Nasal Swabs Used for Genomic Sequencing

Oh dear, it would certainly have been better if the CDC stated the “genomic sequencing” was for the virus.

Alas, in their Twitter announcement the CDC left the possibility of genomic tracing for the individual person tested open to interpretation.

Los Angeles County Defers Enforcement of Vaccination Suspension Until They Hire Enough Staff to Begin Suspensions


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 16, 2022 | Sundance | 89 Comments

This is one of the goofiest notification letters for noncompliance with the ridiculous COVID vaccination mandate.  LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva shared via Twitter.  Read this letter from the original baseline that vaccine mandates were about health:

Presumably the entire reason for the Fire Department vaccination mandate was about health.  If you are not vaccinated, something about your health or other people’s health is an issue.  However, if you are an LAFD worker and you do not get the vaccine, you can still work but you must get tested.

If you are non-compliant with the vaccine/testing rule you must get a suspension for five days as punishment for not getting the vaccine or missing a test.  However, the County cannot suspend the firefighter because they don’t have staff.  So, the vaccine/testing suspension is delayed until they get enough staff to suspend you…..  And somewhere, in some bureaucratic office of some knucklehead, this all makes sense.

COVID-19 appears to have created a dissociative condition called cognitive COVID madness.  Fewer people are injured by covid related respiratory damage than are injured by covid related brain damage.

Canadian Justice Minister David Lametti Says Supporting Trump Is Reason for Government to Seize Bank Accounts Under Trudeau Emergency Act


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 16, 2022 | Sundance | 331 Comments

In a stunning admission for a government official, Canadian Justice Minister David Lametti admitted the political motivations for seizing bank accounts during a television appearance today.

Minister Lametti told CTV News today, citizens identified as supporting President Donald Trump are subject to “de-banking” as part of the Canadian government’s official target identification process.

During the segment, Justice Minister Lametti hedged and dodged questioning about what terms and conditions the Canadian government is using to instruct the RCMP and financial institutions.  However, after equating the Trudeau order to the same principles around terrorism, the ‘Justice Minister’ finally said:

...”If you are a member of a pro Trump movement who is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to this kind of thing, then you ought to be worried.”

What exactly Donald Trump has to do with middle class Canadian citizens asking their government to drop mandates is unknown.  But the statement itself from the Justice Ministry of Canada speaks quite loudly to their political motives.  WATCH (prompted):

Notice how no one in Canadian government is even talking about the COVID restrictions and mandates?  No one is even talking about the virus as a problem or any issues with the pandemic as a justification for continued COVID mitigation efforts.

The only focus of the Canadian government is addressing the protests against them.

Canadian Prime Minister Blocks Domestic Travel in Effort to Stop Protests Against His Government – Compliance Minister Declares Federal Restriction Zones Where Travel Is Verboten


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 16, 2022 | Sundance | 492 Comments

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has triggered domestic travel restrictions against Canadian citizens in an effort to stop protests against his authoritarian government.

In a handout today, by Ottawa officials, it is noted that any travel deemed destined for “any regulated specified area” is now under federal control.  Specifically, anyone coming into Ottawa to protest against the government is now “breaking the law.”

At the same time, Justin Trudeau’s Covid Compliance Minister, Marco Mendicino, said today that any Canadians joining convoy protests in Ottawa or traveling to the area for support of the ongoing protests, risk being defined as domestic extremists connected to “dangerous criminal activity.”

According to the ministers carrying out the Emergency War Measures Act, any Canadian citizen who travels into a restricted zone, as defined by the Canadian government, will face a fine of up to $500 on summary conviction, or imprisonment for six months for their noncompliance. An indictment against a dissident subversive comes with a $5,000 fine and up to five years in jail.

Additionally, the Canadian federal government has announced they will seize the children of any citizen who travels with a minor child for the purposes of entering one of the federally defined no-go zones.  Reunification will be dependent on re-education at one of the jails, compounds or institutions of incarceration.

According to Canadian State Media:“To those who may be thinking to come to Ottawa this weekend — don’t,” said Mendicino. “At best, the residents of the city have made it clear that this is not the time. And at worst, you may be tying yourself to dangerous criminal activity.”

The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa put out a statement Wednesday urging parents at the demonstration to make alternate care arrangements “should they become unable to care for their children following potential police action.”

“CASO has a mandate to protect a child when their parent becomes unavailable to exercise their custodial rights over the child and the parent has not made adequate provision for the child’s care and custody,” said the statement.

“If parents and children are separated following police efforts in ending the demonstration in the downtown core, CASO will work to reunite families as soon as possible.”

The new measures came into effect Monday and prohibited public assemblies that disrupt the movement of people, goods and trade, or that support the “threat or use of acts of serious violence against persons or property.”

The temporary measures also include:

  • Fines amounting to thousands of dollars or jail time for those bringing children under the age of 18 to participate in an unlawful assembly.
  • The same penalties for anyone who participates in the blockades or brings aid — such as food or fuel — to people involved.
  • A ban on foreign nationals entering Canada to participate in or facilitate an illegal assembly.
  • Authorization for the RCMP to enforce municipal and provincial laws.
  • Authorization for banks and insurance companies to freeze participants’ accounts and cancel their vehicle insurance.

Those in violation could face a fine of up to $500 on summary conviction, or imprisonment for six months. An indictment comes with a $5,000 fine or up to five years in jail.

The measures define the protected areas where protesters cannot go as Parliament Hill and the parliamentary precinct, hospitals, airports, trade corridors, bridges and the area around infrastructure for water, gas, sanitation and telecommunication utilities. (LINK)
