White House Announces Vaccine Exemption for Illegal Aliens, Mandates on American Citizens Remain


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 303 Comments

As many have noted, the *entire* premise behind the Biden administration mandatory vaccine requirement for U.S. workers is political.  They are not even attempting to frame a legal or constitutionally valid basis for their unilateral proclamation.  Nothing about the policy is based on science, or even the possibility of executive authority.

The announcement on Thursday was a pure political ruse intended to stir support from the Democrat base, and distract from the mess they created in Afghanistan.  If the vaccine mandate wasn’t political theater, if they really believed in it, they would not be taking the visible approach seen today from the White House press secretary.

When questioned about American workers, being forced to take a vaccine under the auspices of public health – yet not requiring vaccines for illegal economic migrants, the administration shrugged and said: “that’s correct”.   Undermining their ’emergency health authorization’ premise would not be their approach if the White House really did believe they had a legal pathway to the mandate.   WATCH:

Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the Obama group organizing the objective.  He was installed as a disposable figurehead so they don’t have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Democrat Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.

That said, they cannot leave him wandering around the Rose Garden muttering to himself and still keep up the pretense of a presidency.  So, Chief of Staff Ron Klain threw Biden out front to push a political position doomed to fail because they need some appearance of support after millions of Democrats recently abandoned their Potemkin candidate.

Florida Appeals Court Reinstates Governor DeSantis’ Ban Against Mask Mandates in Schools, Parental Choice Affirmed by Decision


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 147 Comments

A Florida appeals court has ruled that Governor Ron DeSantis’ pro-choice school mask policy will be reinstated, and put a stay against a previous activist judge who attempted to block the executive order.  This is a freedom win for parents in Florida who will now have the option of having their kids wear masks or not depending on their individual choice.

FLORIDA – Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration won approval on Friday to put a hold on a Leon County judge’s ruling that said the state could not enforce a ban on strict mask mandates in schools.

The 1st District Court of Appeal agreed to a state request to reinstate a stay on Judge John Cooper’s ruling amid objections from a group of parents who said the move could cause “irreparable harm” to their children amid a rise of COVID-19 cases. The decision means the state can continue to punish school officials who impose mask mandates without a parent opt-out. (read more)

August Producer Price Inflation Shows Highest Increase 8.3% Since Tracking Began, Previous Record Was Last Month


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 10, 2021 | Sundance | 95 Comments

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released the August review [DATA HERE] of producer prices for last month.  August rose 0.7% with cumulative results now showing an 8.3% increase in prices; the largest year-over-year jump in prices for final demand products in the history of tracking. The prior record was July with 7.8%.

Inflation is skyrocketing for consumer goods at all levels of production: Origination (commodity/raw material), Intermediate (Mfr/Wholesale) and Final products (retail).

In part, the extreme upward cost pressure from escalating fuel and energy costs are accumulating throughout the supply chain and surfacing in the prices of the finished products. We are all witnessing this in the prices at stores; especially in the quick turning products, like groceries (fast turn consumable goods), which reflect price increases the fastest.

Final demand prices moved up 0.7 percent in August, 1.0 percent in July and 1.0 percent in June. The year-over-year inflation rate on final demand products now stands at 8.3%.

MEDIA – […] “The data comes amid heightened inflation fears fed by supply chain issues, a shortage of various consumer and producer goods and heightened demand related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Federal Reserve officials expect inflationary pressures to ease through the year, but they have remained stubbornly persistent, with Friday’s numbers indicating that the trend likely will continue.

Excluding food, energy and trade services, final demand prices increased 0.3% for the month, below the 0.5% Dow Jones estimate. Still, that left core PPI up 6.3% from a year ago, also the largest record increase for data going back to August 2014.

Final demand services rose 0.7% for the month, thanks to a 1.5% gain in trade services, or the margins received by wholesalers and retailers. Transportation and warehousing costs surged 2.8%.

About one-third of the overall gain came from health, beauty and optical goods, which jumped 7.8%. Prices related to outpatient hospital care held back the gains, falling 1.5%.  Prices for final demand goods rose 1% for the month, pushed primarily by a 2.9% gain in foods which in turn came from an 8.5% surge in meat prices. Slaughtered poultry prices surged 11%. (read more)

The skyrocketing prices at the grocery store are predictable based almost entirely on Joe Biden’s pro-Wall Street and Multinational Corporation policies.  Main Street is getting hammered, and the working class is suffering as a direct result.

Their specific accountability for these outcomes is why the Biden administration is trying to distract and blame COVID-19 for supply chain issues.  However, it is not COVID driving the prices, it’s Joe Biden policies that benefit multinationals.  {Go Deep}

Food products are fast-turn consumable goods, and the inflation in the food sector is jaw-dropping already.  However, fresh and processed foods turn at different inventory levels.

Obviously fresh foods spoil fastest (think produce, fish, meats and dairy) so they are replenished more quickly, and the thin supply chain (field to fork) passes along increased costs fast. Processed foods have a longer shelf life (boxed, canned, frozen, etc), and as a consequence, have a much larger inventory level in manufacturing, warehousing and retail storerooms/shelves.  Within processed foods, there is a lag between cost increase at origination and that cost hitting the stores.

The problem identified within the current ‘producer price index’, is that price increases in the raw material and intermediate material are building into the supply chain.  Keep in mind, the entire supply chain is dependent on energy costs and the fuel prices that impact transportation.

The retail consumer supply chain for manufactured and processed food products includes bulk storage to compensate for seasonality.  There are over 800 commercial and public warehouses in the continental 48 states that store frozen products (2020 data).  The previously processed food price increases are currently reflected on store shelves (already hurting).  However, the coming processed processed food price increases will be much, much higher.  We will see even higher prices on processed foods in the supermarket.

The same price increases happen for restaurants, albeit faster as they follow the similar supply chain to fresh foods.

As we predicted last month, the BigAg multinationals (K-Street Lobbyists) made deals with their congressional sales-force for increases in government welfare payments (EBT and Foodstamps, WIC etc.).  BigAg lobbies congress for higher reimbursement rates so they can raise the prices of food and export domestic product to other nations.  Food assistance payments increase, and BigAg benefits.  In essence, BigAg takes the fed food subsidies and fattens their profit margin.  Then, they payback the politicians.  It’s a circle of money.

Less than 72 hours after we noted the BigAg deal was likely already done, the White House announced they were increasing Food Stamp and SNAP benefits by 25 percent.  It’s a rigged game, and we are suffering the consequences.   Or, put another way, “it’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.”

The ECB is the Reason We Have the Great Reset


Armstrong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The European Central Bank (ECB) has kept its monetary policy unchanged. However, it did slow down the pace of net asset purchases under its pandemic emergency purchase program. The ECB’s main refinancing operations remain at 0%, on the marginal lending facility at 0.25%, and on the deposit facility at -0.5%. The ECB said that it believes that “favourable [sic] financing conditions can be maintained with a moderately lower pace of net asset purchases under the (PEPP) than in the previous two quarters.”

The junkies think what the central banks have to say is still relevant and are eagerly waiting for word to come down from above to see if their unwinding of pandemic-era stimulus in the face of surging inflation would take place. That seems like reading a nice bedtime story to the kids so they sleep with pleasant dreams. The ECB reiterated that interest rates will remain at their present or lower levels until inflation is seen reaching 2% “well ahead of the end of its projection horizon and durably for the rest of the projection horizon,” and until the ECB determines that inflation will stabilize at 2% over the medium-term.

It is really extraordinary to think that there will ever be a return to normal. The ECB has had negative interest rates since 2014. The Federal Reserve warned the ECB that they could get trapped. The warnings were coming in, and even in 2016, the London Evening Standard warned of the black hole of negative interest rates. This entire Great Reset is now due to the fiscal mismanagement of governments and central banks. Those who still think there will be some return to normal finance are no doubt those wearing masks and lining up for booster shots every six months. They can’t wait for the new Pfizer daily pills as well and are ready to listen to Bill Gates and never buy beef again.

Since the ECB moved to negative rates in 2014, here we are approaching 8.6 years, which is coming up in 2022 when everything just goes bang.

Civil Unrest in Europe Rising


https://videopress.com/v/JWeyV4Kc?resizeToParent=true&preloadContent=metadata

Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

This is Bern, Switzerland. Those in power are clearly using COVID to facilitate their financial crisis, which is right on target for 2022. Even in Italy, they are now turning against their own unions, for they have simply been bought and no longer defend worker’s rights. The demonstrations in Italy are escalating, and this is all coming to a head next year. This is the Great Reset, simply because they can no longer borrow and fund all the pensions. The next stage is simply to move toward an authoritarian government, for it is now just about them retaining power. The police are bloody idiots, and everything will depend on them. In the USA, they have deliberately used racism to demand the government DEFUNDS THE POLICE. These people are idiots, as the real agenda is to replace local police with a federal police force with no local connections — they are following the playbook from the Nika Revolt.

In Italy, they are protesting, even yelling, “Assassinate!” The Italians have never been afraid to protest. They are going to have to protest to escape from the clutches of Mario Draghi and the EU under the control of the World Economic Forum.

Meanwhile, Alitalia, Italy’s #1 airline, is on strike because of the COVID mandates. They are rejecting their own union, which has been bought out from above.

It is just amazing how blind so many people are. They think if they mandate vaccinations, then they will get their life back. The lack of independent thought is astounding, and common sense appears to be actually rare.

COVID: Govt Admits it will be a New World Order!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Sep 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Here we have government officials using the words that are immediately called a conspiracy theory. In Australia, their health Minister Kerry Chant admits that they may be introducing contact tracing. That means they will be tracking everyone and where we go for what she admits will be the “new world order.” I am sure her announcement is sending Big Tech into a tailspin on now trying to censor her and ban her from social media like anyone else who dares to use such words. In Victoria, Australia, where they have effectively been fully locked down, that has still not stopped the spread of COVID. Like the common cold, you cannot stop it by staying inside forever.

Then at the White House, the spokesperson for the Biden Administration actually said that this is not a pandemic, but a PLANDEMIC, which is the truth for the government has NEVER been so authoritarian with a normal virus that is not creating widespread death anymore than the flu. The same people who die of the flu are dying from COVID.

The government no more cares about us than a prostitute in love with a client, “Pretty Woman” aside. Anyone who thinks they care is really a fool. This is all about the financial system collapsing, and that is why I did the special conference back in 2015 on “The Solution.” Back then, behind the curtain, there was talk of this Great Reset unfolding to escape from the fiscal mismanagement (Full Version, 90 Minute Version).

This is all about the NEW WORLD ORDER, otherwise known as the Great Reset, which is really the default on government debt and moving to MMT with Guaranteed Basic Income to replace pensions. This is why I was asked to please come out with a book on all the manipulations of the world economy these people have pulled off. The rise of MMT and Guaranteed Basic Income was the crisis behind the curtain as it was gaining serious traction. “Manipulating the World Economy” is now in its Fifth Edition and is on sale at Amazon and Barnes and Noble in hardcover and digital formats.

Oh Noes, Don’t Throw Me in The Briar Patch Mr. Biden


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 9, 2021 | Sundance | 946 Comments

Perhaps it’s because we have been discussing this moment for over a decade; or perhaps it’s because we’ve already chosen our tribe amid this league of crazy; or perhaps it’s just because we don’t like ‘them’ in the first place; but whatever it is, this announcement today by the White House to cleave society into vaxxed -vs- non-vaxxed status is actually a little funny.  Good luck with it.

Eyes of a mouse. Ears of an elephant. Heart of a lion, and the mindset of an insurgent.

This ain’t new.  Or as we say amid my social circle: “We done knew.”

The White House claims that 80 million Americans are unvaccinated, and we are now the enemy of the state.  OK, whatever.   When you get all done with the teeth gnashing part, I’m still unvaxxed.   And if I’m no longer permitted to engage in a social construct that I have been studiously avoiding for the past few decades, well, meh…. a’right then, punish me by barring me from living life amid the Federal Moonbats.   The federal compliance and enforcement part of the mandated worker vaccination will be fun to watch.

I have serious doubts that only 80 million Americans are unvaccinated, but fair enough; if that’s your number, okay then.  However, consider this….  Assuming we are the minority group, the non-vaxxed crew breaks down into two broad segments: (1) The extremely well-educated who carry commonsense and are in a social strata where they remain quiet about it; and (2) The skeptical productive class of similarly disposed commonsense blue-collar workers who are the backbone of American productivity.

The comfortable existence for the rest of “polite society” is dependent on the scruffneck working class, the dirty fingernail folk who know what Lava soap feels like, and the industrious service sector workforce who fulfill the needs of those who hold out their pinky fingers when they drink from a glass.

If this non-vaccinated ‘minority group’ stops fulfilling the needs of the vaccinated ‘betters’, guess what happens?

Additionally, if the non-vaccinated minority begin following the COVID rules with extreme compliance, the entire system doesn’t function.  Whoops, I cannot enter a federal property because I am not vaccinated {{{shrugs shoulders}}}.  Okay, I’ll leave the pizzas on the sidewalk, enjoy.

The ramifications of extreme compliance are very far-reaching, and we are snarky enough in our skills as non-vaccinated insurgents to know exactly how to best play the role of being as stupid as you say we are.  Oh damn, did I forget to tighten that oil filter… sheesh, whoops.  If only I was as smart as one of you vaccinated types these mistakes wouldn’t happen.

It is likely the elitist goal of the crew behind Biden to cleave society thereby destroying it.  However, if there’s something I know about this crew – it’s how their hubris is their blindspot.

They can never think clearly through the details of their dictates because they have never operated/lived in the place where the outcomes of those dictates surface.  They make rules that are never implemented within their own tribe; this fact makes them extremely vulnerable.

Cleaving society ain’t necessarily a bad thing when my tribe wants nothing to do with you in the first place.

When the SHTF (sh!t hits the fan), these ruling elite types, and those who look down their noses at the unwashed WalMart shoppers, are the first culled by natural selection because they cannot function in a world where their basic needs are not serviced by others.

Stuff yourself into a box filled with like-minded vaccinated intellectuals filled with artificial airs-and-graces; meanwhile me and my tribe, who can clean up well and hold discussion in the snob-set but choose not to, will be having a grand time laughing and enjoying fellowship on the tailgate of a pickup truck.

The laughter and fun is always on the freedom side, our side of the aisle.  The totalitarian mind that needs to control people is a life of misery; and it’s an endless quest to fill a void that we simply don’t have.

Block my tribe out of your social or economic system because we refuse to put untested secret chemicals in our veins, and it ain’t us that’s losing – just sayin’.  We know how to adapt, survive and create another parallel economy that will work just fine.  We can live without them; however, they cannot live without our assistance – and that’s the stark reality of it.

Do what is in the best interest of your faith, your family and your community.  Losing your peace of mind is not part of that equation.

Chin up folks, this announcement by Joe Biden is a Hail Mary reflecting just how desperate they are.

You are, in this moment, exactly who you were yesterday.  Don’t take any ownership of anything put upon you.  Additionally, look around, and do not do anything to support COVID compliance operators in any area of your local society.

Live bigly and organize your personal life for maximum freedom.   Keep the mindset of an insurgent, and do not allow them to steal your peace of mind.

It’s their change. To the extent you can avoid it, don’t accept it.

White House Releases Mandatory Vaccine Rules for U.S. Workforce and Reinstalls Fence Around Capitol to Avoid Backlash


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 9, 2021 | Sundance | 587 Comments

The timing of the Capitol Hill fence being reinstalled by the police; and the deployment of the national guard to surround the capitol; at the same time that Joe Biden announces mandatory vaccine requirements for almost all workers in the United States, are not f**king coincidental.

First, the new forced vaccination rules…

(Via AP) “President Joe Biden on Thursday is announcing sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant that is killing thousands each week and jeopardizing the nation’s economic recovery.

The expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans. And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid also will have to be fully vaccinated.

Biden is also signing an executive order to require vaccination for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government — with no option to test out. That covers several million more workers.

[…] In addition to the vaccination requirements, Biden is moving to double federal fines for airline passengers who refuse to wear masks on flights or to maintain face covering requirements on federal property in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. 

[…] The requirement for large companies to mandate vaccinations or weekly testing for employees will be enacted through a forthcoming rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that carries penalties of $14,000 per violation.

[…]  Meanwhile, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will extend a vaccination requirement issued earlier this summer — for nursing home staff — to other healthcare settings including hospitals, home-health agencies and dialysis centers.

Separately, the Department of Health and Human Services will require vaccinations in Head Start Programs, as well as schools run by the Department of Defense and Bureau of Indian Education, affecting about 300,000 employees.

Biden’s order for executive branch workers and contractors includes exceptions for workers seeking religious or medical exemptions from vaccination, according to Psaki. Federal workers and contractors will have 75 days to get fully vaccinated. Workers who don’t comply will be referred to their agencies’ human resources departments for counseling and discipline, to include potential termination. (read full article)

Meanwhile this announcement is simultaneous:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Law enforcement officials concerned by the prospect for violence at a rally in the nation’s capital next week are planning to reinstall protective fencing that surrounded the U.S. Capitol for months after the Jan. 6 insurrection there, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

[…] A security plan that is being finalized calls for a fenced perimeter on the streets immediately surrounding the Capitol building and the Supreme Court, though not around the congressional office buildings nearby, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement. (read more)

They are using the little known DC protest as an excuse to justify the installation of the fencing.  What they really fear is a response from the American people.  The Rulers are protecting themselves from the Ruled.

When you see that justice is measured, not by due process, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to invoke your sixth amendment right to due process, you need to obtain permission from men who rebuke the constitution – when you see that justice is determined by those who leverage, not in law, but in politics – when you see that men get power over individual liberty by graft and by scheme, and your representatives don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption holding influence and individual liberty so easily dispatched and nullified – you may well know that your freedom too is soon to perish.
