Oregon Governor Kate Brown recently dropped all reading, writing and math proficiency standards for high school graduation, because she claimed it was unfair to “people of color” for them to have to pass tests in order to graduate {Go Deep}. Expecting black, brown and latino students to comprehend math and write in coherent sentences is racist – or so goes the policy. Governor Brown also mandated that masks continue be worn indoors and outside regardless of vaccine status (link).
Historically, there has been a solid argument that leftism is a mental disorder; at least the vast majority of those who espouse leftist worldviews do -indeed- appear to have some cognitive impairment the vast majority of non-leftist people do not relate to. Slowly, as the years have progressed, it is now entirely possible to look at a person and predict their political persuasion.
This is Oregon Governor Kate Brown today:
This is not normal. You cannot convince me these are stable minded people. A person of reasonable mental disposition, particularly a person in a position of significant leadership, does not engage in behavior like this.
This is what weird people do. I feel it is important to let people know where CTH stands on this type of behavior; I’m not sure why, but it must be said. This is not normal… at all.
YouTube announced it is removing the public “dislike” button count from their website, coincidentally, following a slew of dislikes on Biden Administration videos. Creators may still see the number of dislikes their videos generate; however, it will not be public knowledge. Although YouTube has been considering removing the feature for a few months, they abruptly pulled the trigger at a suspicious time. One video of the Fauci documentary trailer received 79K downvotes compared to 7.3K upvotes. “Let’s Go Brandon” related videos have gone viral in recent weeks. Numerous videos from the White House were downvoted into oblivion as well. We the People would like to be heard, but the powers that be are censoring our voices. They do not want the public to know that most people are also questioning the current administration, which would hurt the ongoing agenda. The silent majority has been silenced once again.
It was Hillary who paid for the Steele Dossier, but it was John McCain who handed it to Comey at the FBI. Of course, Adam Schiff did more to promote this fake document paid for by Democrats than anybody else. He was the point man. They should be removed from office and should have to reimburse all the taxpayer money spent on this nonsense.

John Durham is providing evidence {Go Deep} showing how the “Trump-Russia” collusion story was created by Hillary Clinton and Democrat operatives like Dan Jones, Charles Dolan, Glenn Simpson and contracted operatives within Fusion-GPS; who then laundered their fake stories to Christopher Steele and his source Igor Danchenko for distribution to the FBI; and who then leaked the information to awaiting allies in the media. Those same media recipients are now scrubbing their participation:
It’s an issue within the Trump operation that we have highlighted for years {Go Deep}. The media reports on media reports of media reports. Now, the collective system of the Washington Post writing about a New York Times article that is based on CNN reporting (using anonymous planted leaks from the DOJ/FBI) starts to collapse in reverse. CNN does a stealth deletion, causing the New York Times to stealth edit, creating a need for the Washington Post to rewrite their participation.
We asked years ago: “Think about a New York Times, CNN or Washington Post journalist now having to accept that every column inch they have written in the past [four years] was built upon a foundation of lies. Do we really think such a catastrophic level of flawed ideology could ever reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?” Of course not.
These guys are so corrupt, and they participated so completely in the willful distribution of false information, they are beyond redemption. They don’t even attempt to apologize, admit their errors or accept responsibility. Instead, they just start deleting the trail of their involvement. Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along.
Over a year ago, CBS News journalist Catherine Herridge obtained a 94-page spread sheet (pdf here) showing dates of media reports, dates of Steele reports on the same material, and the FBI effort to verify or validate the circular process in their investigation.
Michael Isikoff highlighted the level of how enmeshed media is with the Fusion team in February 2018 when he admitted his reporting was being used by the DOJ and FBI to advance the political objectives of the intelligence community.
Additionally, FBI investigator Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page were shown in their text messages to be leaking stories from the Clinton Investigation, the Trump investigation and the Mueller investigation to journalists at Politico, The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. –SEE HERE–
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was busted by the Inspector General leaking stories to the media and then lying about it to INSD and IG investigators. FBI Director James Comey admitted to leaking stories to the New York Times, and even hired his friend Andrew Richman (off-the-books), gave him access to FBI and NSA databases, and then leaked information to Richman along with another friend Benjamin Wittes at Lawfare blog.
Lest we forget, the IG report on how the FBI handled the Clinton investigation revealed that dozens of FBI officials were actually taking bribes from the media for information:
IG REPORT – “We identified numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organization and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters. Attached to this report as Attachments E and F are two link charts that reflect the volume of communications that we identified between FBI employees and media representatives in April/May and October 2016. We have profound concerns about the volume and extent of unauthorized media contacts by FBI personnel that we have uncovered during our review.”
[…] We do not believe the problem is with the FBI’s policy, which we found to be clear and unambiguous. Rather, we concluded that these leaks highlight the need to change what appears to be a cultural attitude among many in the organization. (link to pdf – page Xii of executive summary)
Madness.
This is an IG fact-based criticism of the institution of the FBI, not simply a few rogue officials within it.
But wait…. Perspective:
Later, it was revealed that Andrew Weissman, Robert Mueller’s #1 special counsel prosecutor, was coordinating investigative efforts with the full support of four AP reporters who were giving Weissman tips. That’s information from journalists to use in his court filings and submitted search warrants. Make sure you grasp this: The AP journalists were feeding information to their ideological allies within the special counsel.
Nuts; simply, well, nuts.
And then there’s Devlin Barrett, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok:
Additionally, Christopher Steele has stated in U.K. court records the person in charge of the Clinton Campaign’s opposition research firm, Glenn Simpson from Fusion GPS, arranged and coordinated for Mr. Steele to talk to several journalists (CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo News and Mother Jones) while Mr. Steele was also the primary source of information for the FBI investigators (including Strzok and Page):
Make sure you read that full response from Christopher Steele above to see the scope of the media engagements he was conducting.
As more evidence surfaces, the relationship between journalists, Fusion-GPS, Chris Steele and the media’s DOJ/FBI sources begins blending together. The FBI was using media reports, which were based on Fusion-GPS pitches, to bolster its investigative documents to the FISA court. It is an intelligence laundry operation:
According to the U.K records, Christopher Steele reports this September 2016 meeting with Isikoff was arranged by Glenn Simpson. According to Michael Isikoff on his February podcast, he met Christopher Steele at a Washington, D.C. hotel in Sept. 2016. They were joined by his “old friend” Glenn Simpson, the founder of opposition research firm Fusion GPS, who Isikoff now defines as a “private investigator.”
So Christopher Steele was meeting with journalists, the journalists were writing articles; the FBI was leaking to media and simultaneously citing those same articles as underlying evidence to support their counterintelligence investigations; and all of this was used to validate the investigative documents the FBI was receiving from Christopher Steele; who, along with the leaking FBI officials was also the source of the media articles.
FUBAR! This is exponentially bonkers.
This is a circle of information, all coming from Dan Jones and Glenn Simpson at Fusion GPS, who was the opposition research firm being financed by Hillary Clinton, along with FBI officials who were using their own strategic leaks to validate their own investigation.
Think about the scale of the reporting, and reporting on reporting, of anonymous leaks, false leaks, lies from “people with knowledge of the matter”, “government officials involved in the matter”, “people familiar with the matter”, “government sources” etc. all going in one unified and semi-coordinated direction – against the aggregate Trump administration.
Now, it actually gets even more convoluted.
Christopher Steele has sworn under oath that he met with multiple journalists (at least eight organizations) in September, mid-October, and late-October 2016: “at Fusion’s instruction“. (pdf page #7)
Overlay upon that sworn admission with what Glenn Simpson (Fusion-GPS) told the House Intelligence Committee while also under oath about his involvement in sharing information derived from Christopher Steele:
FBI Director James Comey admits to leaking his ‘memos’ to the New York Times. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was busted for leaking and lying about it. FBI #2 Counterintelligence Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page are caught in their text messages leaking to Politico, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
…. AND the FBI is caught, in at least one FISA application, using Yahoo media reports provided by them AND their investigative source Christopher Steele to establish a basis for FISA “Title I” surveillance; the most intrusive and wide-open search and surveillance authority possible.
The Clinton Campaign is paying Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research against Donald Trump. In addition to the collaboration between Dan Jones, Glenn Simpson pushed that opposition research into the media, and Fusion GPS is also providing that opposition research –including information from contacts with media– directly to the FBI:
… In addition to using the Fusion GPS opposition research to underpin their counterintelligence investigation, the FBI then turn around and leaked the same opposition research information to the media to create secondary support for their counterintelligence investigation.
Tell me again how the media can possibly write about this now?
The problem is not just corruption with the U.S. Justice System, the DOJ and the FBI; the problem is corruption within the media.
We’re talking about thousands of hours of media TV pundits, thousands more columns written, and almost every scintilla of it based on originating intelligence sources -from the larger intelligence system- that are now being exposed as duplicitous and conspiratorial in the scale of their malicious intent.
This larger story line has traveled in one direction. The narrative has only traveled in one direction. Each thread converging on codependent trails for collective stories all going in one direction. One big engineered narrative endlessly pushed. Think about how far the collective media have traveled with this story over the past eighteen months?
Hell, twenty-something-year-old “journalists” were so committed to the resistance narrative they were even sleeping with their sources to get any little engineering angle possible.
Now, over a period of FIVE years, it has become increasingly obvious the collective journey, using all that expended effort, was intentionally going in the wrong direction.
The media have fully invested themselves in five years of narrative distribution in only one direction. Not a single MSM entity has questioned their travel as a result of false leaks or false sources in the totality of time they have covered the DOJ and FBI story. They have even won Pulitzer prizes for writing stories about the lies and manufactured evidence.
Nothing within their collective need to will-an-outcome will change the media’s proximity to facts as the truthful story behind the DOJ and FBI corruption is finally exposed. The media are so far away from the place where this story ends, they have no inherent capability to even begin to travel in the opposite direction, toward the truth.
The only way they could align with the truth is to admit that virtually every scintilla of their reportage over the past four years was inherently false or manipulated by the “sources” distributing the material for their willfully blind reporting. There’s not a single media outlet capable of doing that.
Think about a New York Times, CNN, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, Yahoo News or Washington Post journalist having to write an article deconstructing a foundation of four years worth of lies they participated in creating.
Do we really think such a catastrophic level of corrupted journalism could reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?
Big Pharma has absolute immunity, and since the federal government is mandating vaccines, there is ABSOLUTELY NOBODY to compensate people seriously injured from these vaccines. Now California Gov. Gavin Newsom has had a serious reaction to his booster. His symptoms are associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), a known side effect of many vaccines. In fact, Guillain Barre Syndrome has been traditionally a rare condition that causes a person’s immune system to attack their peripheral nerves, resulting in partial loss of sensation, loss of movement, and even changes in cognitive ability and personality. This appears to be on the rise with these COVID-19 vaccinations. Perhaps now that Newsom has been infected after getting his booster on October 27, just maybe he will stop mandating this for children.
After receiving the booster, Newsom said in a statement:
“Getting vaccinated and keeping our immunity strong through boosters is a vital step we can take to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community — it remains the best way to end this pandemic. Getting a booster is safe, easy, free, and you don’t even have to stick to your original vaccine. This is your chance to continue to keep yourself and your community healthy.”
It’s time these politicians stop taking “donations” from Big Pharma or anyone connected with Bill Gates, and just for ONCE actually represent and protect the people! This is the fate of all Republics. They always become for sale to the highest bidder.
When we looked at our model combining the presidency, House, and the Senate, we came up with a Panic Cycle in 2021 and 2023. The Democrats better wake up because this foreign agenda has usurped their party, and Biden is clueless as to what is even taking place. The vaccines do not save lives, for the Biden Administration is using this solely to control people, and the long-term goal is to mandate boosters to retain any right whatsoever. They are bringing this in little by little, in tiny steps, because their ideas on how to change society profoundly resemble what Hitler did to Germany (see video).
Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world, is sounding the alarm bell, and Western politicians are ignoring orders from central command at the World Economic Forum. Only 17% of eligible Israelis who have not received the vaccine account for 85 coronavirus deaths in a week.
The Biden Administration has told businesses to ignore the courts and follow his commands, which in itself is outrageous. This is the complete collapse of the rule of law and one of the major signs that a government is about to fall into that same common grave that all previous governments lie in rest.
The Biden Administration has no respect for the military. If they refuse the vaccine, they will be denied healthcare and pensions. This is so unconstitutional and outrageous. One must realize that the government failing to support the military could risk the people cheering a military coup to overthrow this administration that is obviously taking orders from non-American sources. Indeed, the fate of Western civilization could be very dark if these people continue to push for their one-world government.
Now the Hassidic Rabbinical Court in New York decreed that mRNA vaccine is “Absolutely Forbidden” for children, adolescents, young men, and women. This is becoming a serious First Amendment issue on the freedom of religion. Once upon a time, the Constitution was all about equal rights to protect minorities. All of that has been cast aside under this pretense of an emergency in public health which is a manufactured crisis for political control. The public controversy over vaccination has produced strong opinions as well as strong divisions that even separate families. Equal protection has been vanquished, and Biden now tells people to ignore the courts as well.
The Biden Administration is telling people to ignore the courts because the very people behind this entire agenda hate religion, just as Karl Marx did. Soros has admitted he does not believe in God. Schwab himself has said that it is up to us to shape our own future. These people reject cycles in climate because they do not believe in nature or God.
Soros has been funding everything he can to overthrow the United States, and he has supported the Democrats in this effort. Soros supports defunding the police, which is simply how to usurp the police powers and replace them with a federal police force that will honor even fewer rights. It will devolve into all lives matter, not just black, for we are all the Great Unwashed and the enemy of these people seeking to recreate the world.
Soros knows that the way to conquer is to divide the people. This is precisely how Hitler rose to power, and this is what they have done with this vaccine. We have abandoned the rule of law, the respect for religion, and the Biden Administration is taking orders from non-US sources. There is no longer toleration of diversity, no less religion. Even Christian scientists traditionally do not believe in drugs. Although they are a minority, their beliefs are to be crushed and ground into the dust on the external orders of this Build Back Better agenda.
Even US Today, certainly not a right-wing new organization, ran the headline that the future for the Democrats in 2022 is looking very gloomy, to say the least.
Populism became a dirty word among politicians when Trump won in 2016. Instead of looking at this objectively, that perhaps the people voted for him because of all the corruption in Washington, they preferred to say the people were stupid and this was just a fluke. How dare the people try to overthrow the establishment is what I encountered in DC. The established political class rules – not “We the People,” which they did away with a long time ago.
When we simply look at the Senate and House combined, I have warned that the Democrats will end up splitting. The Democrats are desperately trying to turn the United States into the next Marxist Wonderland. There are a lot of conservative Democrats who have been just going along with the party for party’s sake. But there will come a point where they will wake up and see that Biden is the perfect puppet and that the country is being run from Geneva. Just draw a downtrend line technically, and the Democrats remain in a long-term bear market with each rally producing a lower high than the previous. The Republicans have been producing higher, but they are above their uptrend line.
There will come a time where the vast majority will see the trend for what it is. No president in the history of this nation has ever told people to just ignore the courts. This is no longer a nation ruled by the Constitution.
Soros has his son working in Washington intensely.

Comrades, Emerald Robinson is a journalist who works for Newsmax as a White House corespondent. However, Emerald Robinson is also a free thinker who challenges communal orthodoxy and rebels against groupthink. In short, Mrs. Robinson is a subversive voice who refused to correct her thoughts and become a stenographer for the regime.
As a result of her failure to comply with the correct thinking necessary for good citizenship, her employer, Newsmax, has suspended her tenure. Apparently Mrs. Robinson did some research into the COVID-19 vaccination ingredients and posted her results in a substack article {SEE HERE}.
The Ministry of COVID Compliance was not happy with Mrs. Robinson and requested she attend further re-education {SEE HERE}.
The compliance division of Thought, Wellness, Information, Transitional Training and Enhanced Re-education (aka ‘TWITTER’), attempted to control the public broadcast of wrongthink and suspended her account. Unfortunately, dissident Robinson remained non-compliant and initial re-education efforts failed to produce the intended results {SEE HERE}.
The monitors within the Thought, Wellness, Information, Transitional Training and Enhanced Re-education platform were forced to make the subversive suspension permanent, thereby ensuring the wrongful expressions did not create collateral damage or extend the transmission of unapproved vaccine information {SEE HERE}.

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.

Fight like MAGA is the third monkey on the ramp of Noah’s ark….

This might be somewhat preaching to the choir, but it’s the only way I know to help Treepers prepare their families according to very visible economic signals happening just over the horizon. Back in August, when we discussed the massive inflation that was climbing straight up, I warned everyone to look behind the finished good prices, into the prices of origination and intermediate goods. {Go Deep}
The “producer price index” is essentially the tracking of wholesale prices at three stages: Origination (commodity), Intermediate and Final. The final product inflation rate in July (reported in August) was alarming at 7.8%. However, we warned of much higher flowing into the supply chain.
Today, The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released stunning price data for October [DATA Here], showing a dramatic 8.6% price increase in Final Demand products at the wholesale level. As expected prices are still going up, and there’s no end in sight, because the raw material inflation is still higher than current.
[BLS] “The Producer Price Index for final demand increased 0.6 percent in October, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices moved up 0.5 percent in September and 0.7 percent in August. (See table A.) On an unadjusted basis, the final demand index rose 8.6 percent for the 12 months ended in October.” (more)
I modified Table A (final demand product pricing) taking out some of the noise to make it a little easier to see the big picture of what is happening.
When you see the wholesale level of prices almost double the increase in consumer level inflation rate, you can predict that consumer prices will likely go even higher. Future finished goods at a retail level will carry the current wholesale price increase.
Stuff costs a lot now… and because the inbound stuff to make the finished goods is still climbing in price…. stuff is about to cost even more. You can see this in the inflation rate of intermediate goods which I have highlighted below.
You can see from Table A that finished good prices are still climbing. That’s the higher price inflation you are feeling when you buy a product.
More alarming is to look at the “intermediate demand” products [Table B below] as they flow through the manufacturing system. Two types of products are at the intermediate wholesale level: Processed Goods, and Unprocessed goods.
I have again modified Table B to remove the noise. Notice two key aspects:
(1) Prices for both types of products are still climbing in the manufacturing process. Compare August, Sept., and Oct., noticing how the prices are still climbing. Some of that has to do with energy and fuel costs still climbing. The increasing prices for gasoline build into each part of the transportation process.
(2) Notice the scale of the increase in the prices from prior months. The trend line is not leveling off, instead it’s doing the opposite. The rate of inflationary climb (price increase), at the intermediate level of goods coming into the system, is getting even more steep. The stuff coming into the manufacturing process is not only costing more, it is costing much more than before.
The wholesale prices of products into the system that end up at the retail level is still through the roof. In a major way, this is being driven by massive increases in energy costs throughout the entire supply chain.
This is going to get even uglier. Even if wages jumped in price 5% overnight (single month), which would be a large increase in wages, those wage increases are nowhere near enough to deal with this level of price increase at a consumer level. A nickel more per dollar earned is futile against a loaf of bread costing $1 more, or gasoline at $4.00/gal.
Do what you can do now to start preparing your weekly budget in ways you may not have thought about before. Shop sales, use coupons, look for discounts and products that can be reformulated into multiple meals or multiple uses. Shelf-stable food products that can be muti-purposed with proteins is a good start.
Consider purchasing the raw materials for cleaning products and reformulate them yourself to avoid these massive increases in petroleum costs. Most working families use laundry detergent, and that cost is going through the roof with no signs of slowing down.
♦ EXAMPLE – Several years ago, a dear friend showed us a method for making laundry detergent at home along with a bucket. After using this for several weeks (and then making it) I was stunned at how simple, cost-effective, and good it works. Not only does it save big $$, but it works better than, or at least as good as, Tide or any other high-priced name brand product for literally pennies on the dollar.
What You’ll Need: {check your local store’s laundry aisle}
Total Cost to make around 2 gallons: About $1.00!!
This amount filled up my large empty extra-large Tide container from Costco and a smaller Purex container!
This recipe makes a low-sudsing detergent, and remember, it will turn to a liquid/gel after it settles, so you will need to shake the container before use. You can also pour it into a spray bottle to use as a pre-spot treatment. The 3 ingredients will make at least 3 batches and will last a long time.
I would not present this idea if it did not work exceptionally well, this was one of the most useful tricks I learned to stretch a budget that really does save money and work even better than high-priced laundry detergents. The home made detergent even removes hard soils and red clay stains from clothing remarkably well.
Leading experts on flawed U.S. COVID policy issued an urgent warning at a summit Saturday: Young children will be harmed in an ill-advised rush to vaccinate a population with very little chance of severe infection from the virus.
“The real risk for healthy kids is about zero — it does appear to be lower than the flu,” said Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology on which the vaccine is based. Inoculating 28 million children 5 to 11 years old, Malone told attendees of the Florida Summit on Covid, could lead to “a thousand or more excess deaths.”
“That’s a thousand kids,” he told the audience of 800 doctors, nurses and advocates. “It’s a thousand kids too many.”
In addition to other pressing COVID issues, the summit addressed three central questions about childhood vaccination. Do young children need vaccination against COVID? Are the vaccinations safe? Are unvaccinated children a threat to adults? On each, they found the government’s near-universal vaccination policy wanton and unsupported.
“Children don’t get severely ill. Children don’t die from this infection,” said Paul Alexander, a clinical epidemiologist and former senior advisor on pandemic policy in U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “We’ve been fed a lot of misleading information.”
Though harshly criticized for keeping schools open, “Sweden had not a single death of a child from COVID,” said Dr. Richard Urso, a Texas ophthalmologist citing published data.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control counts 576 U.S. children under 18 who succumbed to COVID from Jan. 1, 2020 to Nov. 3, 2021, among 60,811 who died in that period. But the CDC figures offer no perspective on whether another illness or COVID caused the deaths. In a study of 48,000 COVID-infected children under 18, no deaths were reported among those without comorbidities like leukemia or obesity. In other words, healthy kids did not die, suggesting vaccines are not needed for them.
‘Willful blindness’
With the risk of serious illness low, panelists said the potential toll of vaccinating was unacceptably high, pointing to thousands of officially downplayed but real side effects and deaths. The risks to children include – but aren’t limited to – serious inflammation of the heart called myocarditis, which has been reported at three to six times the expected rate in vaccinated adolescents. A CDC study reported 14 vaccine-related deaths and 849 serious reactions in children 12 to 17 years old.
“There will be children lost with the vax — far more than ever happened with COVID,” said Dr. Peter McCullough, a widely published cardiologist and leading voice on a rational pandemic response. Doctors are guilty of “willful blindness” to vaccine hazards, he said, having “bought into this…dream that this vax if both safe and effective. It is shattering their dreams that it is not sufficiently safe.”
The summit met just after the Pfizer vaccine was recommended by the CDC and as rollout began in pharmacies and clinics.
In Florida, where debate on vaccine mandates is vigorous, summit organizers see child vaccination as a line not to be crossed in a state that could set an example for the nation. They hope to stop the expanded vaccine program with an executive order by Gov. Ron DeSantis or legislation in an upcoming emergency session called to address vaccine mandates.
“We need to pull out all the stops,” Dr. John Littell, an Ocala physician who spearheaded the summit, told me. “We’ve only begun to fight for our children.”
With virtually universal media support, pressure is intense to vaccinate the pint-sized. On Twitter, the Muppet character Big Bird told of doing his duty for the public good. “I got the COVID-19 vaccine today!” he tweeted on the day of the summit. “My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.”
A Pfizer video, meantime, widely shared on social media, showed “superhero” boys and girls, in capes, masks and wings, celebrating vaccination. Mouthing words written by a pharmaceutical giant, they praised other kids who took the needle for their “courage,” willingness to “try new things” and “helping the whole entire world.” Another video, of 13-year-old Madeline De Garay injured after vaccination during a trial, tells quite a different story but, sponsors say, was rejected for airing as a television ad.
‘One and done’
The six-hour summit included a premier lineup of COVID doctors who, based on treatment experience and available science, also raised two other urgent concerns:
The effective suppression of physician freedom to treat early COVID with ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, fluvoxamine and other drugs that could keep patients out of hospitals and save lives.
The protective value of having had COVID, which offers immune benefits that panelists said exceed – and forego the need for — vaccination.
“Natural immunity is robust; it’s complete; it’s durable,” Dr. McCullough told the group. “If it was possible to get it again, it would’ve happened hundreds of millions of times. It’s one and done.” Just 100 or so cases have been reported in the literature, he said, but there is confusion over whether they were actually second infections.
“With COVID, you develop immunity to 50 or so proteins” that spur production of antibodies, Malone said in his talk. “With the vaccine, you develop immunity to one structural protein,” namely the spike protein. “It’s a huge difference.”
“Don’t let them tell you that recovered-from-COVID does not lead to long-lasting immunity,” Dr. Ryan Cole, an Idaho pathologist, told the group, pitting a report on 106 science articles in favor of infection-acquired immunity against a single CDC “pretend paper” saying vaccines offer more protection.
The implications of natural immunity are enormous. The CDC estimates that 120 million Americans – a third of the population — have had COVID. If their immunity was recognized, that would dramatically reduce the lucrative market for vaccines and boosters – what many panelists believe motivates the rush to jab. More than 200 million Americans will have been infected after the Delta wave, McCullough estimates, broadening that population greatly.
Physicians at the summit left room for some to be vaccinated, including people whose compromised health puts them at risk for severe illness. Malone supports vaccination for high-risk groups, though he told me, “That may change as additional data become available.”
As it stands, however, the vast majority of Americans would be vaccinated under government recommendations that, if mandated by workplaces, schools and municipal governments, leave few exceptions.
‘Unmitigated corruption’
While the urgency of vaccinations took center stage, the failure to treat people at the first sign of COVID – and its immense consequences — was cited as the product of a corrupt, Pharma-controlled system and government.
In a stirring talk, Pierre Kory, president of Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance and a voice for early treatment, pointed to a litany of methods that science journals, media and government have used to effectively deny care with inexpensive “repurposed” drugs like ivermectin.
Among them: Refusal to publish pro-treatment scientific papers and retraction, under pressure, of others. Insistence on pricey randomized control trials while not funding them. A double standard that has Merck’s expensive molnupiravir poised to become a prime outpatient drug, based on one pharma-sponsored trial, while tossing aside dozens of studies favoring ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and other potential treatments. Rejection of the clinical experience of hundreds of doctors who have seen early treatment drugs keep people out of hospitals and coffins.
Having had “a front-row seat on the war on ivermectin,” Kory described in two words the reason for the monumental failure to treat COVID: “Regulatory capture.” In short, the alphabet agencies – NIH, CDC, FDA – aren’t making the decisions.
“It’s well described that all of those agencies are literally run by Pharma,” he said. “If you want to keep your job, you let the leaders do what they do.” This has led, he said, to “unmitigated and repeated acts of corruption, which are hurting public health.”
‘Get sicker’
While Kory has strongly supported ivermectin – and several doctors in the audience said they had great success with it – he and others said there are other perhaps two dozen compounds that could help early. Nonetheless, public health leaders are silent on recommending any. Among them: aspirin, budesonide, colchicine, curcumin, melatonin, nitazoxanide, quercetin, zinc and vitamins C and D. Even a highly favorable trial on fluvoxamine has failed to earn the government’s endorsement.
“They tell you to go home and get sicker and come back and see us when you’re really sick and your body’s damaged,” Malone said. “Ask yourself, ‘does this make sense?’”
At the same time, speakers dismissed the unsupported contention that unvaccinated children are a threat to adults — who even when vaccinated can themselves get and spread COVID. “Children are not superspreaders,” said Urso. Further, said Malone, “It’s not the kids responsibility to protect the elders.”
It is, however, the responsibility of public health agencies to live up to protecting the public. Instead, said Dr. Bruce Boros, owner of three urgent care centers in the Florida Keys, they thwart doctors at every turn.
“We’re getting the shit kicked out of us, there’s nowhere to go,” he told me.
“The CEOs and administrators of hospitals are threatening us. You’re going to be fired. You must walk in lockstep with our standard of care.”
After recounting harrowing experiences in New York City ICUs early in the pandemic, a critical care physician, Dr. Mollie James, concluded with this: “Doctors must not be blocked from prescribing life-saving medicine in the hospital. Doctors must not be blocked from giving life-saving treatment outpatient.”
