Gallup Poll – Gov’t is Our Greatest Problem


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Feb 1, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Gallup has just confirmed what our computer has been forecasting especially since 2011. The majority of Americans now say that a lack of leadership from President Biden and Congress is the country’s biggest problem and that means the entire world. Perhaps aliens should have a right to vote for the decisions of the Biden Administration are destroying lives around the world.

The Gallup Poll shows that it is the collapse of confidence in a government that is now viewed as the greatest threat even more so than inflation, ​the immigration crisis, and the state of the economy. Despite Americans suffering economically with higher taxes and inflation reducing the standard of living, they have cited that “the government/poor leadership” is now in the No. 1 spot taking that place from inflation over the past year. Gallup has reported that 21% of Americans name our incompetent government as the “most important problem facing this country today​” compared to the 15% who said so last year, a Gallup Poll found.

​Inflation and the economy ​came in last year as the top two issues — tied at 16% each — followed by the government (15%), immigration (8%), and unifying the country (6%). ​However, over the past year, Americans’ concerns with the economy fell 6% to 10%, with ​inflation falling one point to 15%, and immigration rose 3 points to 11%.

Just wait until they realize that the Biden Administration is so incompetent, it has allowed the Neocons to wage World War III on two fronts – China and Russia. These people will destroy Western Civilization and that is what 2032 is all about.

Something Not Emphasized Enough


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 6, 2022 | sundance | 273 Comments

There is a baseline CTH readers are likely familiar with, but something we have not emphasized enough in quite some time.

The Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Democrat National Committee (DNC), are private clubs.

The RNC and DNC are corporations, private businesses; and just like all private businesses, they have the ability to make rules, bylaws, terms and conditions of membership and association that are completely arbitrary according to their charter.

The RNC and DNC are not entities of government.  The RNC and DNC are not affiliates of government.  The RNC and DNC have absolutely no connection to government, other than their arbitrary business model for helping politicians enter and remain within government.

In fact, the RNC and DNC are simply private corporations who engage in the business of politics.  Whenever we start to forget the DNC and RNC are private corporations, we can slip into the mistaken belief that they operate on any form of baseline altruism.

These corporations exist for the fulfillment of their mission; and their mission is to use the business of politics as a method of financial reward to sustain the business model.

Some call these private entities, these corporations, “clubs,” because using that term helps to remind us that these groups do not operate without a private agenda.

The rules within the RNC club are determined by the people who control the club charter, primarily large donors who fund the corporate business.  If they have a particular intent or direction, they wish the club to support or take, they control how the club engages in the process of achieving their outcome.  That effort is taken regardless of the opinion from the subordinate members in the club.

Through the process of controlling the corporations, the private clubs, both the RNC and DNC control how political events take place.  Nothing within this process is contingent upon the support of the voting electorate.

Each state and local precinct has their own chapter of the club, and often the corporate direction, specifically the club activity in/around Washington DC, is different from what the local groups want to see take place.  However, just because the local chapter of the group disagrees with the parent company or board of directors, does not mean the larger corporate entity will change anything.

When we are evaluating political events inside the United States, it is critical to keep reminding ourselves that what is taking place, or what is not taking place, are outcomes determined within the executive suites of a private club.   This is an unfortunate system dynamic, but it is a critical point that once fully understood explains many of the issues people have with the registered politicians within the club.

The RNC and DNC are businesses.  Their decisions are business decisions.  The club actions, or lack thereof, are all part of the business of politics.

The tenured participants in the club do not operate arbitrarily in a vacuum.  They talk to each other, communicate with each other, organize with each other, plan with each other, and collaborate for the larger objectives of the private corporation.

Nothing within the business system of DC and club politics has anything to do with the constitutional framework of U.S. government.

Again, for emphasis.  The governing process and constitutional aspects of the framework within the U.S. government, have absolutely nothing to do with the two private corporations known as the RNC and DNC.

A potato farmer has no influence on McDonalds, despite the fact the fast food corporation sells french fries.

Please keep this reference point in mind.

There is Something Just Not Right – Papers Please!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Nov 16, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hello
I think there is something wrong with the pattern when it comes to covid and the vaccines. It just do not add up. If the vaccines are about depopulation, then why does Gates vaccinate the people he would like to keep if he could choose? Why isn´t for example Africa the most vaccinated place instead of the western world and China etc. (look at a vaccination map)? The only way this adds up is if the covid vaccines are meant to protect against something worse that is to come. It would also explain for example why they want to vaccinate children and it would mean many overpopulated countries that do not get the vaccine could be hit very hard in a later stage, together with conservatives…
Best regards
PR

ANSWER: Your point is interesting, but I do not believe the vaccines will suddenly kill the vaccinated in 2 or 3 years – at least intentionally. They may lower your immunity and make you more susceptible to new strains of viruses yet to appear. There seems to be a greater risk that they will impact fertility intentionally. But the side effects are serious and there are no studies that warn people with certain medical profiles not to take the vaccine as is the case with other vaccines on the CDC website. The MMR vaccine the CDC clearly tells who should not get vaccinated.

There is something VERY VERY VERY wrong here. This is from the CDC’s website, which clearly has a section on the measles vaccine (MMR), warning that those who have these conditions should NOT be vaccinated. That is absent with respect to COVID. Why?

Now here is the page from the CDC on the COVID vaccine. There is no section whatsoever to warn people who should NOT be vaccinated. Why? Once you have had a disease, you do not get vaccinated against that same disease. Politicians disregard that and still demand vaccination. There is something seriously wrong here. Nobody will answer the questions, and you are to be fired if you refuse, and there are no exceptions. For every other vaccine, there are exceptions, but not with COVID. This is no longer medical; it is political. Anyone who thinks the government cares about you is really living in fantasyland.

If we look at the madman of Australia, he has come out and told the people who are vaccinated that if they want to retain any freedom, they much are regularly vaccinated. In Austria, they are imprisoning people who are not vaccinated. Look beyond the United States and you will see this agenda unfolding. It is really to control the population. They know when government fails, there will be an uprising. To prevent civil unrest, they are using these vaccines to control people. In Europe, you cannot travel without a COVID pass. With the situation varying from country to country, in Europe, traveling for the vaccinated across the EU is not entirely possible. What they do not want is resistance gathering from all over Europe into one place. They are reinstating the Nazi protocol – Papers Please!

The United States is different than Europe. Biden does not have the power to order lockdowns nationwide. His attempt to force vaccinations on companies with 100 or more employees is going through federal agencies which do not have such powers. That is why Biden is telling companies to ignore the courts. If that is legal, then likewise ignore all the COVID rules from Washington is also legal.

There will be further mutations of COVID and they are clueless about what they have unleashed. This is Pandora’s Box. They have no way of now knowing the mutations of this virus because it was created in a lab somewhere, probably not even China, and deliberately released for political control. I have been warning that any virus that co-exists in animals can NEVER be cured with a vaccine because it has a vast reservoir to mutate. Even leopards in the zoo have died of COVID. It has been suggested that 40% of the deer population has gotten COVID.

I am NOT a doctor. I was taught that in high school health class. When a virus co-exists in animals, that is why we cannot cure a common cold or the flu. Our greatest risk is that this man-made virus will mutate far beyond what these people thought. Already, the people who are vaccinated are getting new strains of COVID and dying at a faster rate than the UNVACCINATED. This forced Gates to admit his vaccines do not work. He will come out with version 2.0 and the politicians will still use it to carry out their tyranny because they have so mismanaged the economy there is no saving this current version of socialism. In the old days, they would be dragging our politicians out of their fancy offices unto the street and either light them on fire as they did in a revolution in China, or they would behead them and parade their heads on a spike as they would in ancient Rome.

Pelosi’s January 6th Committee Files Subpoenas Against Ten More Trump Administration Officials – Democrat Targeting of Political Opposition Continues


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 9, 2021 | Sundance | 217 Comments

Watching what happens in the orbit of the January 6th Committee is how we can tell which Republicans are part of the UniParty in Washington DC, and who is willing to stand for the freedom of our republic.   Watching the Republican party as a whole; watching who stands against this committee effort; and watching who is actively or willfully blind in their alignment with the J6 objective, is a key *tell*.

The DC apparatus -writ large, but especiallly the Fourth Branch operators- viewed candidate Donald J. Trump, and President Trump, as a risk.  Donald Trump was always an existential threat to a corrupt U.S. government system that contains both Democrats and Republicans in the ranks of the power system.  That viewpoint is why former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe famously outlined the objective in the run up to the 2016 election (check the date):

Plouffe, who had moved on to become an executive with Uber at the time, used the false allegations of racism and labels like “nativist” to trigger the Democrat and left-wing foot soldiers.   The accusations against Trump were always strategic, and the media allies were willing to assist.  However, the real issue the system feared more than anything else was the economic nationalism that Donald Trump carried in his policy proposals.

After eight years of the Obama team attempting to destroy nationalism in favor of globalism, their response to Trump’s “America First” popularity made sense.  Donald Trump was positioned to deconstruct almost a decade of Obama-era policy which was specifically intended to diminish American value, economically and socially.

The far-left was in a state of panic; however, it was a panic felt by both the Republicans and Democrats in Washington DC.   Politicians within the UniParty were direct financial beneficiaries from the Wall Street multinational corporate strategies which underpinned Obama’s economic outlook.

That’s why there was so much opposition to candidate Trump from the GOP establishment. That’s also why so many Republicans abandoned their re-election efforts in 2018 in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s successful election outcome in 2016.  Masks were dropping at an alarming rate inside the RNC as well as traditional GOP media and GOP politicians on Capitol Hill.

Wall Street was essentially unable to manipulate the America First economic policy agenda of President Trump.  Their lack of influence applied to all aspects of policy from Climate to Trade and in U.S. geopolitical strategy.

Evidence of their inability was found in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce being locked out of the White House trade and policy discussions.  That is why you currently see the U.S. CoC in alignment with, and funding the campaigns of, congressional Democrats.

It was Donald Trump, and Donald Trump alone, who changed the economic outlook of the Republican party from Globalism to Nationalism.  The economic policy is essentially the cornerstone of what we now call the MAGA agenda.  Trump gave voice to the forgotten blue-collar workforce, the middle class and the silent majority of the American electorate.

This MAGA coalition cuts through gender, race, creed and national origin.  The MAGA agenda lifts up all workers at a much more significant rate than any previous economic policy.  The results were obvious and only took a few months to begin surfacing as the U.S. economy was unleashed to the benefit of the working class.

Under the America First agenda, blue -collar wages were increasing, investment in U.S. jobs was growing, multinationals started putting more investment into the U.S., and instead of dividing up a diminishing economic pie, we were creating new economic pies at an exceptional rate.  All of this activity benefited Main Street for the first time in decades.  Trump had the right solutions and was executing policies to the benefit of the U.S. workforce.

Unfortunately, that outcome -that success- is exactly why those who held control over the economic system in the U.S. hated him so much.  All of their years of pontificating about policy and outcomes immediately were showcased as political lies and false manipulations; because the common sense Trump agenda showed how quickly the U.S. could benefit if benefiting the U.S. was actually the goal.

Ultimately, this big picture truth is why Trump needed to be destroyed.  This is also why they still hate him.  The America First agenda sits there as a hot ember just waiting to be reignited again.  Everything Donald Trump did is easily duplicated again because MAGA is really a simple set of policies that benefit the U.S. and no one else.

There is no other politician in the U.S. public policy sphere who can blow on that ember, because the Wall Street community will not allow any GOP politician to get near it to start the re-ignition.  Independent Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness are antithetical to the Wall Street/Multinational agenda which is based on a principle that America is consigned to being a service driven economy.

Globalists have an agenda.  Globalists need control over the political mechanisms.  Globalists, massive multinational corporations and the politicians they fund, had been winning the fight against nationalism for decades.  Those who assemble at the World Economic Forum were giving instructions to the political heads on policy, and the politicians were/are following their orders.    Donald J. Trump was a threat to that, and he still is.

THAT is the larger context for why Nancy Pelosi and Bennie G. Thompson are using the January 6th Committee as a weapon against the MAGA movement {Go Deep}.  That larger dynamic is exactly what is happening.  From their DC perspective, just like David Plouffe shared in 2016, this fight is a zero-sum battle.

The urgency behind the horrific outcomes of the Biden policy agenda is due to their desperation to keep MAGA policy shut down.  That’s the “must not rise again” part of the Plouffe admonishment, and it continues today:

Watch the Republican responses to this January 6th Committee.

Accept that any GOP member who supports the agenda of Pelosi and Thompson is on the side of those who seek our destruction.

Watch the globalists inside the current Republican Party.

Watch the people you know Wall Street controls, like Nikki Haley et al.

Accept there is no other candidate the UniParty fears EXCEPT Donald J. Trump.  When you look at the economics of globalism -vs- nationalism, it is clear to see bold contrasts between Wall Street and Main Street.

Main Street has been under attack for years, and it was only Donald Trump who stopped that onslaught.   Donald J. Trump, the individual person, is the only current person who has the outlook to ensure that America First is the policy that keeps the United States from collapsing into a socialist nightmare.

MAGAnomics is the beginning and end of MAGA policy.  There is no other candidate visible right now who has the capability to carry the America First torch and keep the America First policy at the center of their focus.  That is why they still need to eliminate Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House investigators have issued subpoenas to 10 more former officials who worked for Donald Trump at the end of his presidency, an effort to find out more about what the president was doing and saying as his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a bid to overturn his defeat.  (read more)

NBA Mandates All Previously Vaccinated Players Must Get More Vaccinated With Mandatory Boosters


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 8, 2021 | Sundance | 226 Comments

Last week Florida Governor Ron DeSantis noted the feds were likely to move the goalposts, and “fully vaccinated” will shift because never-ending booster shots will become part of the mandate.  The media went bananas claiming DeSantis was spreading a conspiracy theory.

Well, today the National Basketball Association (NBA) has told all previously vaccinated players they are no longer considered vaccinated unless they get a booster shot.

The NBA is now requiring the players to get the booster jab or they cannot play.  The players can pick a booster, any booster, mix-n-match, whatever… but booster they must.

NBC – […] According to reported news the league is calling for those who were given the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to seek a Pfizer or Moderna booster, while those who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines could choose whatever booster is available. It is understood that the data used by the NBA shows that antibody levels for Pfizer and Moderna recipients decrease after six months while those of Johnson & Johnson saw their antibodies decreasing after just two months.

Going forward, those who are vaccinated but elect to not receive a booster could be subjected to game-day testing again starting Dec. 1, the NBA said. The date will of course vary depending on when the individual was originally vaccinated and what type of vaccine they received. (read more)

Chaos of the 2022 Elections on the Horizon


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hello! Wondering if the “Panic Cycles” surrounding the 2022 and 2024 elections are going to take place due to the hackable computerized voting machines in use all across the country? What’s to stop the evildoers from stealing these elections just as 2020 was stolen? I was a precinct captain in So Cal in 1998, back when we had those fantastic “slider punch” machines with paper ballots, and it seems like the results were harder to steal back then. Also, we got our results by 11 PM the same day. Thank you for everything you do!!!

CJ

ANSWER: It appears that there will be serious questions over the elections. Besides these machines being deeply in question, the plot thickens with the Biden Administration planning to increase voter eligibility by up to 10% by granting status to illegal aliens. If that actually takes place, we are indeed at the edge contemplating just jumping and ending the America we once knew. It will be more than just: Let’s Go, Brandon, where 4 out of 10 of the top songs are anti-Biden.

Questions Surfacing in 2020 Election Lawsuit About Who Exactly Was Controlling the Election Systems, Contractors or Government


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 24, 2021 | Sundance | 108 Comments

Emerald Robinson has detailed a court filing in Colorado against Dominion Election Services. [Full Article Here] Within the filing there are some very interesting details worth reviewing:

…”[Dominion] has not waged its Lawfare campaign as only a corporate citizen, but also as a state–actor, i.e., the government. OVS is a state–actor because States across the United States have outsourced their constitutional obligation to run elections by deferring to [Dominion’s] professional experience and contracting out the administration, collection, counting, recording, and auditing of ballot results through voting technology, software, and thousands of hours of technical and election services.

For example, Georgia paid [Dominion] roughly $90,000,000 for a complete, end–to–end election solution in their Master Solution contract. In the Master Solution, Georgia specifically stated “[t]he unique abilities, knowledge, and skills of [Dominion] constitute a material inducement for State entering into this Agreement.” Such reliance and partnership between [Dominion] and States, according to which [Dominion] itself takes the place of the government, makes [Dominion’s] conduct of elections and all its related activities a state-action. The administration, collection, counting, recording, and auditing of ballot results in elections are inherently a traditional, exclusive public function. So not only have these Americans received Letters from a corporate citizen with tens of millions in annual revenue and private equity support, but they have also been threatened by, in effect, the government itself.”  (read more)

Qantas Airlines – Get the Jab or You’re Fired


Blog/Rule of Law

Posted Oct 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There really is something seriously wrong with all of these companies complying with politicians who are insane or have been bribed. Sweden and Norway downgraded COVID to just the flu, as it lacks any kill ratio that has even risen above 0.5%. Even the CDC is admitting that nearly 20,000 have died from the vaccines. Firing people for not getting the vaccine is clearly political. Nurses and doctors worked with COVID patients for a year without vaccines, but now they are fired unless they get a vaccine, even if they previously had COVID and recovered. Once you get the measles, you do not get it twice.

If abortion is a right because of body privacy, how can there be no right to body privacy with these vaccines? This is a coronavirus that co-exists in animals, so there is no possible way to eliminate COVID. That was the propaganda that Bill Gates put out there, and he just so happens to make money from every jab.

Then Gates did not want to give the formula to other countries so he demanded that the US and Europe pay his full price and give the vaccines to the poor countries. That is NOT a philanthropist — it’s a greedy inside trader. I suppose in today’s WOKE since you can be male but identify as female, Gates can be a greedy robber baron but identify as a philanthropist.

There should be a class-action lawsuit against the vaccine companies, Gates, and the World Economic Forum for loss of jobs, alleged lobbying, and political donations to sell this agenda. You can’t sue them for even death from their vaccines, but you can sue them for fraud and bribing politicians.

If this were at least at the Spanish flu level with a 3% death rate or higher, then perhaps this would be more valid. But to permanently fire people for refusing to take the Gates vaccine makes no sense when he changes his sales pitch as often as Fauci.

This is not smallpox that can be eradicated because it only infects humans. We cannot cure the common cold, and we cannot create a vaccine to prevent it. Likewise, even being vaccinated neither prevents infection nor prevents spreading the infection to others. All the refusing to be vaccinated would do is subject that individual to their alleged greater risk, but it would not prevent spreading the disease. So there is no point in firings. Vaccinated people can still spread COVID. This is one giant fraud. Qantas should be sued to explain even why a vaccine would change the risk for anyone.

Doctor Performs Blood and Immune System Test Before and After COVID Vaccination, The Alarming Results Motivate Him to Share This Video


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 4, 2021 | Sundance | 518 Comments

Dr. Nathan Thompson was approached by a long-term patient, we will call him Mr. Smith, who was being forced by his employer to get the COVID-19 vaccine.   Mr. Smith and Dr. Thompson have a long history together, as the doctor helped his patient change his lifestyle and eliminate Mr Smith’s type-2 diabetes.

Because Mr. Smith has a long history of blood tests to form the baseline for his healthy immune system; and because the patient was being forced to take the COVID-19 vaccination; Dr. Thompson and Mr. Smith decided to take comparison blood tests after the first shot and after the second shot to see if/ how the patient’s blood-work was impacted by the vaccine.  The doctor states his, “Jaw dropped after seeing the blood test results following the second shot.”

The results alarmed Doctor Thompson so much, with the patient’s permission, Thompson felt compelled to record this video and share the results.  Overall, the blood-work showed a massive negative impact to the natural immune system of the patient.   Because his patient is now more at risk after the vaccination, Dr. Thompson is left with multiple questions; including how long will this vaccine-induced autoimmune compromise last in his patient?   WATCH:

This video is not expected to last long.  Watch while you can.

This one will not be taken down

Perhaps the most alarming aspect is the specifics of the weakened immune system making the patient more vulnerable to ordinary cancers.
