Novavax Developing Vaccine Against Variant That Appeared 72 Hours Ago – Will Be Ready in Two Weeks, Already in Emergency Use Trials in Indonesia and Philippines


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 26, 2021 | Sundance | 203 Comments

Wow, 72 hours ago no one even heard the name Omicron variant.  Now, in less than three days, a variant has been identified, global travel has been halted, states of emergency have been declared, and now we see a pharmaceutical company announcing the variant specific vaccine trial that will begin in the U.S. in a few weeks.  This government relationship with Big Pharma is certainly generating some fast action, eh?

If a person was cynically inclined; while knowing governments’ need to control inflation yet cannot raise interest rates or stop purchasing debt because current legislative spending continues – a remarkable control option would be to halt demand; and a person might think this was suspicious, or something.

Nov 26 (Reuters) – Novavax Inc said on Friday it had started working on a version of its COVID-19 vaccine to target the variant detected in South Africa and would have the shot ready for testing and manufacturing in the next few weeks.

The company’s COVID-19 shot contains an actual version of the virus’ spike protein that cannot cause disease but can trigger the immune system. The vaccine developer said it had started developing a spike protein specifically based on the known genetic sequence of the variant, B.1.1.529.

Novavax’s vaccine received its first emergency use approval earlier this month in Indonesia followed by the Philippines. Other vaccine developers, including Germany’s BioNTech SE and Johnson & Johnson, have said they are testing the effectiveness of their shots against the new variant, which is named Omicron by the World Health Organization (read more)

New York Governor Kathy Hochul Issues State of Emergency Due to Latest COVID Variant, Omicron

All the totalitarians will quickly follow suit.   New York Governor Kathy Hochul declares a state of emergency, granting herself additional power and authority as the threat of Omicron is utilized.  They are moving fast on this one; no time to waste. How long before new lockdowns?  Keep watching…

New York – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a state of emergency order on Friday in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant.

The emergency order is intended to increase hospital capacity in New York and will last until at least Jan. 15, when it will be reassessed.

According to a copy of the order, the state will utilize the “surge and flex system,” which allows the Department of Health to limit non-essential and non-urgent hospital procedures in situations where a hospital has less than 10% staffed bed capacity. (read more)

Place your bets… who will be next? Newsom, Whitmer or other?

Racism, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Block People of Color Traveling From Africa on Black Friday


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 26, 2021 | Sundance | 65 Comments

According to sources familiar with the matter, who wish to remain anonymous as they are not authorized to relay information from two other anonymous officials with knowledge of a person once seen next door to an official who directly overheard a conversation relayed by several officials at the heart of the issue, there might be a coded message here.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are banning African travelers on Black Friday 2021:

A congressional investigation surrounding this blatant air travel discrimination is warranted.  How is it fair a person of color who walks across the U.S. border can be protected by COVID immigration policy, yet an African person of color flying into the country is given no due process?  Racism, gottabe.  Impeach!

In order for leftists to continue advancing their insane communist ideology they must pretend not to know things:

U.S. Announces New Travel Restrictions as Scientists Give New COVID Variant The Name Omicron – A Strategic New Variant Introduced to Help Offset Global Inflation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 26, 2021 | Sundance | 426 Comments

We originally outlined the new COVID-19 variant along with the international motives of the science community for delivering it HERE.  Previously the new worrisome, 10 spike, vaccine resistant variant was called “The B.1.1.529 variant“.  However, those types of names do not work well for larger fear narrative distribution.  As a result, the international scientific community has given it the name “Omicron“.  Perhaps the “Merry Christmas” variant would be culturally insensitive.

Globally, and not coincidentally –politically– the greatest challenge to those in power is a massive rise in direct inflation.  What is the quickest way to eliminate the political risks due to inflation?  Shut down demand….. lock down the economies… turn the values closed on economic activity, and then watch oil prices plummet.

As the science is told, Omicron originated in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi.  Government officials around the world have responded to the Omicron variant by banning travel from those countries.  The U.K and Australia kicked off the latest round of fear porn with their travel bans.  Subsequently, fellow EU nations Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Malta all announced imminent entry bans to all travelers who’ve entered South Africa and surrounding nations in the past two weeks.

In North America, Canada will be “banning the entry of foreign nationals…that have traveled through southern Africa in the last 14 days,” due to the new coronavirus variant Omicron, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said at a news conference Friday. (link)  And right on cue the Biden administration joins the effort:

WHITE HOUSE – “This morning I was briefed by my chief medical advisor, Dr. Tony Fauci, and the members of our COVID response team, about the Omicron variant, which is spreading through Southern Africa. As a precautionary measure until we have more information, I am ordering additional air travel restrictions from South Africa and seven other countries. These new restrictions will take effect on November 29. As we move forward, we will continue to be guided by what the science and my medical team advises.” (more)

As if on cue, this happens:

The discovery of a new Covid-19 variant sent oil plummeting 13% on Friday, as investors feared a wave of new government restrictions and slower economic growth. 

US crude finished the day at a two-month low of $68.15 a barrel, down 13.1% from Wednesday’s close. It was the worst day for oil since April 27, 2020, when Covid was spreading rapidly in the US. (link)

Under this type of economic manipulation using science, the U.S. federal government -and the multinational governments as a whole- recapture control of inflation.

As you know, the monetary policy to maintain an economic system beneficial to Wall Street and the multinational investment class means they need to keep interest rates low even as they print more money vis-a-vis the Build Back Better spending operation.  {Go Deep} The primary way to control inflation is for central banks (U.S. Fed) to stop purchasing their own debt and/or raise interest rates.  However, that approach would be against the interests of the multinational elites and international finance system (World Economic Forum agenda).

If you are a member of the political elite and worried about the electoral backlash from massively rising prices hitting your citizenry….. Another way to stop inflation is to shut down economic demand.

How do you shut down global economic demand….  Omicron !!

See how that works?

As a result, we enter the 2022 mid-term election under a scenario where a new variant of COVID, Omicron, is now the reason for government rules (Vaxx, Vaxx, Vaxx), a slowed economy and a contraction of demand.   Omicron becomes a justification and excuse for lowered economic expectations.

Simultaneously, inflation is artificially paused by using Omicron as a pressure valve, and the central bankers don’t have to worry about negative consequences to the multinational corporations who give them instructions.

Under this strategy, the electorate can be duped into reinstalling political ideologues, elites and communists.   And guess what?  The U.S. Energy Secretary doesn’t need to know what the price of a barrel of oil costs.

Don’t blame me, we just see this COVID variant stuff for what it is…. useful.

This ain’t their first rodeo.

It’s not clear yet whether the mutations make this variant more infectious or whether it causes more severe illness, but researchers say the high number of mutations to the “spike proteins” — the focus of a body’s immune response — may make it more able to get past the body’s defenses. (link)

Very Interesting DOJ Inspector General Finding, CRS Officials Recently Gave Applicants Access to Main Justice Database


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 26, 2021 | Sundance | 115 Comments

This report from inside the Dept of Justice Office of Inspector General is very interesting; not just because of the ideology and agency attached to the issue they investigated, but also because of the recent timing this year – [ie. while the Rittenhouse and Arbery cases were being conducted.]

The essential summary of the OIG issue is that someone inside the DOJ Civil Rights Division; someone in charge of the secretive internal agency known as the Community Relations Service (CRS); gave access to the computer database of Main Justice to employment applicants for the CRS. [OIG Report Link]

We have tracked the CRS activity for years {Example Go Deep}.  The core ideology of the CRS is virtually unknown to the public.  The activists who apply for employment positions inside the CRS have one ideological outlook in support of radical elements like NAACP, Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA, and other social justice causes.  There is no other ideology in the agency of the CRS. Advancement of radical race-based agenda is their mission within the DOJ.  That reality is well beyond dispute.

As a consequence, anyone applying for a job with CRS would have a very specific purpose.  The motive for CRS leadership, to give a CRS applicant access to the Main Justice database potentially exploiting the entire federal Department of Justice, can only be looked upon as purposeful.  Think of this “misconduct” like giving BLM, Antifa, ShareBlue, NAACP or the radical elements of the DNC access to the Dept of Justice files:  [September 8, 2021]

The DOJ-CRS is the least known quasi-legislatively approved agency within the justice department.  The CRS is the Community Relations Service, and is a very secret division within the DOJ civil rights unit.  The activity of the CRS is rarely discussed, but essentially the agency is authorized to reach into any national event, investigation, court proceeding, local, state or federal, and modify/guide the proceedings under the auspices of maintaining national racial harmony.

“The Community Relations Service (CRS), a component of the Department of Justice (DOJ), serves as “America’s Peacemaker” for communities in conflict by mediating disputes and enhancing community capacity to independently prevent and resolve future conflicts.” (read more)

We followed the CRS in the Trayvon Martin case and watched them in real time organize the NAACP, New Black Panthers, Dream Defenders and AME church network.

We watched in real time as the Eric Holder led Federal Department of Justice, dispatched a team of federal agents, led by Thomas Battles, to block the Sanford Police Department and demand the resignation of Sanford Police Chief, Bill Lee.

Federal agents were doing this. The CRS feds organized the marches, coordinated the marches, facilitated the marches and yes, paid for the marches,…. to deliver what exactly?

Yet, almost the entire country has no idea what the DOJ-CRS activity consists of.

We originally began highlighting the work of the DOJ Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) over a decade ago as a result of several racial issues which surfaced after Barack Obama was elected.

The recent Christmas parade attack in Wisconsin was a worst case scenario for the federal officials who shape American racial views for political control.  That is why we are seeing such extraordinary efforts to tamp down the story, and that’s exactly the reason why local authorities said they would not provide any further press conferences after the one organized by the CRS at 1pm on the day after the attack.

If the races were reversed, there would be press conferences every six hours three times a day with updates.  There would be dozens of subsidiary human interest stories on national television sharing, highlighting and emphasizing every granular aspect of the horrific attack by Darrell Brooks.   There would be satellite trucks outside the hospitals and officials giving updates every few hours.

If the races were reversed, the white man who drove into a crowd of black parade goers in retaliation for a jury decision would be front and center of every news story, broadcast and panel discussion for weeks.   However, when any attack falls into the elements of control by the CRS, the story disappears quickly.  This is all coordinated by the DOJ-CRS, and yet few people know about them.

Race is used as a political tool by those who control the levers of power in the U.S. government.  Victims and perpetrators are defined according to how the dividing narrative fits their effort for political value. The progressive group deep inside the CRS are also called “the federal peacekeepers“, because they organize the nuances within the division to protect the system from outcomes they essentially create.

The CRS watches, and in many ways facilitates, politicians and federal officials stirring up racial strife.  The CRS supports cultural Marxism. However, when the inevitable violence surfaces, the CRS must control the backlash.   [NOTE: The CRS only activates when the minority supported group attack the majority non-supported group.]

The DC system operators have used racial division for their own benefit for decades; however, the federal ‘peacekeeper’ deployment has been refined, updated and refreshed with the advent of technology and social media.

The CRS primarily focuses on clouding, obfuscating and hiding motives from violent race-based attacks.  They will take a small innocuous possibility and expand it into the larger talking points if that helps to deflect attention away from the real racial motive of a violent attack by a black suspect.  The CRS primarily activates when the protected minority group attacks the majority group; their mission is to provide cover.

The CRS stands aside when national media and politicians push a false narrative that benefits their objectives.  When a NASCAR garage pull down rope is falsely promoted as a noose, the CRS just watch and do not refute the claim.  When Kyle Rittenhouse is wrongfully accused of being a white supremacist, the CRS do not get involved, they just watch and do not refute the claim.  These examples advance the objectives of the cultural Marxists and are therefore not impeded.

However, when a protected and supported racial minority group attack the majority group with a motive based on race, the CRS quickly jump into action.  That is the specificity of what they do, and the CRS have broad power and authority to carry out their operations because they are aligned with one side of the political continuum.

The CRS use allied media to shape their control over their defensive justifications and narratives.  The CRS also have a massive network within the faith-based community that act as partners for their mission.

The African Methodist Episcopal church (AME) is a major partner for the CRS in their objectives.  Their relationship goes back to the civil rights era, before the CRS was corrupted for unilateral political benefit.  There is also a large network of nationwide community activist groups who are part of the CRS rolodex.  The federal peacekeeper reach is massive and, because of the cultural sensitivity they use as a weapon, it is virtually unchallenged.

You can read about some specifics of how the CRS operates in the example of the Sanford, Florida protests {go Deep}.

The DOJ-CRS giving applicants access to the DOJ database is the same type of “mistake” as the FBI contractors unlawfully using the NSA database to assist in opposition research against the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump; which is to say, it wasn’t a mistake.

Turn off the TV


Armstrong Economics Blog/Media Re-Posted Nov 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

An image is circulating online that shows how the mainstream media has garnered viewers over the past 20 years. The three pillars of rhetoric are logos (logic), pathos (trust), and ethos (emotions). The media has been using all three of these persuasion tactics so that people are too afraid to look away from the TV as they may miss “breaking news” on the next disaster.

They prey upon our emotions (ethos) with fabricated narratives and stories. They prey upon our trust (pathos) with fake experts chiming in on every crisis and journalists pretending they still stand as unbiased, ethical providers of information. Logic (logos) has been completely undermined as independent thinking or questioning the mainstream narrative is now a criminal offense. The media wants you to be afraid to control your thoughts. Remember who controls the media.

Turn off the TV. Seek out the truth independently.

VICE: How Big Pharma Gets Dangerous Drugs Approved


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

(Click here to view the video on VICE’s website)

A VICE News special shows how the pharmaceutical companies lobby the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve dangerous drugs. This is not a new revelation, but most blindly trust the FDA stamp of approval. Big Pharma currently spends over $4.5 billion on lobbying efforts to approve their drugs. For example, in 1995 Purdue produced the notoriously addictive drug Oxycontin. Reports stated that less than 1% of those who took the drug would become addicted. Since then, over 500,000 million Americans have died from the narcotic. Purdue has since faced numerous lawsuits and intense scrutiny; however, the FDA has escaped any blame.

More recently, the FDA approved the Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm by Biogen after clinical studies showed that the drug did not work. The drug, which costs $56,000 annually, was originally denied by regulators. Then the lobbyist entered and essentially paid the FDA to pass the drug. Let’s not forget, once a drug is FDA approved, the pharmaceutical company is permitted to advertise. Hence, why Pfizer began to produce commercial, radio, and print advertisements within the same week of receiving FDA approval this year.

(Six pairs of prosthetic limbs made for Tracey Baynam, whose limb development was affected by thalidomide, throughout her childhood and teenage years. Science Museum Group)

The greed of the FDA knows no bounds. FDA Dr. Kelsey singlehandedly saved millions of Americans in the 50s and 60s from a dangerous drug called Thalidomide. The drug was originally prescribed to pregnant women to reduce morning sickness. Thousands of children across the world were born with serious birth defects due to Thalidomide. The lifelong debilitating outcome of the drug prompted harsher drug testing worldwide, in theory. Unsurprisingly, Thalidomide is still available with a prescription. A regulator’s approval has never meant that a drug was safe for use. The FDA is bought and paid for by Big Pharma, and truth be told, they do not know the long-term side effects of the new medications they are approving.

New Bill Would Deny Insurance Coverage to the Unvaccinated


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Member of the New York State Assembly Pat Burke (Democrat, of course), believes that unvaccinated Americans refusing the experimental COVID-19 vaccine should be denied healthcare. This is the same man who once claimed healthcare was a human right. “Freedom isn’t free,” he had the audacity to tweet. I was under the impression that my tax dollars paid for Operation Warp Speed, vaccinations, and government handouts. The Constitution was formed on the grounds that America would be the land of the free. Pompous lawmakers now want to remove all of our freedoms and are no longer sugar-coating their agenda.

After facing backlash on Twitter, Burke said, “Let me know when smoking and obesity become highly contagious diseases that disrupt every facet of life, overwhelm hospitals, and cost the government trillions of dollars.” Well, those conditions do overwhelm hospitals. In fact, obesity is the number one comorbidity for COVID-19.

Here is a video of Burke explaining why Americans who don’t play by the rules should die. When questioned about the social media backlash, Burke claimed most of his critics were posting from fake accounts. In the same breath, Burke claims he supports universal healthcare. “Do your part,” he repeatedly states. What exactly does that entail? Vaccinated individuals can still pass along the virus. The vaccine has proven adverse side effects, and the long-term consequences are unknown. Newsflash: taking the vaccine does not mean you are saving the world. Lawmakers see the pushback from skeptical citizens, and in response, expect the penalties to become harsher. Hold the line.

COVID Swab Test DNA Samples for Sale


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Cignpost Diagnostics, a UK-based COVID testing company, has likely sold swab samples containing customers’ DNA. The company claimed it had the right to sell data to third parties in an effort to “learn more about human health.” However, the consent form is buried among the lengthy testing information sheet, and the company primarily sells tests on the go to travelers looking for rapid results. Cignpost Diagnostics admitted in the fine print that they “may receive compensation” for selling customers’ DNA to “collaborators.”

UK law explicitly demands the protection of private data, and angry customers are claiming the company did not clearly notify users that their sensitive DNA would be sold for a profit to conduct unknown research. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Human Tissue Authority are now investigating. “There is no personal data more sensitive than our DNA. People should be told about what’s happening to it in a clear, open, and honest way so they can make informed decisions about whether they want to give it up,” ICO deputy commissioner Steve Wood said.

Cignpost Diagnostics knows they are in the wrong and has begun to backtrack on their policy. A spokesperson for the company recently claimed all swab samples are destroyed after the client has been notified of their results. Why would the company then claim to have “collaborators” and a plan to profit off of the DNA they have compiled? Three million tests have already been distributed. It is unclear if the company actually destroyed the swab samples, as they only claimed to have done so after coming under fire.

Shipping Container Price Surge Will Result in Increased Prices on Consumer Goods


Armstrong Economics Blog/Inflation Re-Posted Nov 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) announced that we should expect consumer prices to rise 1.5% on average over the next year due to the global shipping crisis. Inflation, fuel increases, and labor shortages are among the many factors that have caused shipping costs to spike. “UNCTAD’s analysis shows that the current surge in container freight rates, if sustained, could increase global import price levels by 11% and consumer price levels by 1.5% between now and 2023,” the UN reported last week.

This will impact consumers throughout the world. The US could see a rise of 1.2%, according to the UN, while China may see a 1.4% increase. Less developed countries could see costs skyrocket by 7.5%. According to CNBC, as of late October, over 600 shipping vessels were parked outside of ports worldwide as they are unable to offload. The UNCTAD expects prices on electronics to spike 11.4%, furniture and textiles by 10.2%, rubber and plastic by 9.4%, and basic electrical equipment by 7.5%. Even pharmaceutical products are expected to increase by 7.5%. There are no signs of this crisis improving anytime soon.
