Moderna CEO Says Fourth Booster Shot Needed, Booster Efficacy Drops Over Time


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 8, 2022 | Sundance | 353 Comments

As the pharmaceutical companies make these statements, it does make you wonder what the impact is on all the people who trusted the vaccine officials implicitly and now face being told their vaccine status is no longer of value.

The CEO from Moderna is now openly telling everyone that booster shots wear off over time.  As a result, the direct admission seems to be that a never-ending cycle of booster shots will be needed in order to remain vaccine compliant.

The longer-term consequences of this process to create artificial immunity are remarkably unquestioned by a seemingly incurious media.

(Via NBC) –  Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel on Thursday said the efficacy of boosters against Covid-19 will likely decline over time, and people may need a fourth shot in the fall to increase their protection.

Bancel said people who received their boosters last fall will likely have enough protection to get them through the winter, when new infections surge as people gather indoors to escape the cold.

However, Bancel said the efficacy of boosters will probably decline over the course of several months, similar to what happened with the first two doses. The Moderna chief was interviewed by Goldman Sachs during the investment bank’s health-care CEO conference.

“I will be surprised when we get that data in the coming weeks that it’s holding nicely over time — I would expect that it’s not going to hold great,” Bancel said, referring to the strength of the booster shots.  (read more)

It seems that once you get on the Rx Ronacoaster, you cannot get off until the ride’s over…. and the ride will never be over.

Additionally, it will be curious to see what the actual compliance rate is for these never-ending boosters.  How many people will just keep showing up to vaccine clinics and keep dosing themselves with the product?  Will people eventually start to ask questions, or just keep “boosting” themselves?

1976 Vaccine Mandate Disaster

This is why vaccine MANDATES are simply unconstitutional and a violation of human rights. We are not all the same.

Minnesota Trucking Company CEO Warns About What Vaccine Mandate Will Do to Economy


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 7, 2022 | sundance | 110 Comments

Here’s a solid reference point for just one of the multitude of aspects related to the mandatory COVID vaccine and overall COVID mitigation rules that will come together to present an unavoidable outcome within the supply chain.

As CEO Eric Lawrence notes, even without the vaccine mandate, the testing mandate itself becomes an issue.  How and where exactly are truckers supposed to get these weekly, and depending on state, perhaps daily, Covid-19 tests.   How are they expected to modify their cross country routes, to avoid running afoul of the law, without having any idea where this testing is supposed to take place?

Follow the implementation of all these mandate tentacles across multiple industries & sectors, and what you end up with is a merging of unworkable nonsense into a logistical and supply chain mess.   For the U.S. economy, a SNAFU of that significance only ends with one result.

Biden Sends $8 Billion of COVID Recovery Relief as Payments to Offset Outcome of His Energy Policy for Democrat Constituents


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 7, 2022 | sundance | 88 Comments

Many people have wondered how the Biden administration could implement massive economic policies against the interests of their own constituents.  The answer to that question is hidden inside the COVID relief bills, which are used as a method to pay the expenses of his policies so that targeted Democrat groups in urban regions do not have to pay for the policy.

One example of this policy and urban dependency scheme is found in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

The “American Rescue Plan”, the mechanism to use taxpayer monies as redistributive subsidies to special interests under the guise of COVID bailouts and relief, contained $8 billion in funding to pay for the electricity and home heating costs of low income families.

WHITE HOUSE – […] In 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration and Congressional Democrats delivered $8 billion in LIHEAP funding nationally, more than doubling typical annual appropriations, thanks to an additional $4.5 billion provided by the American Rescue Plan. These funds represent the largest appropriation in a single year since the program was established in 1981. (more)

In essence, what this scheme allows is the Biden administration to trigger ‘Green New Deal‘ energy policies that drive massive increases in the cost of electricity, home heating, and energy use for the middle class and working class families, and yet the federal government pays those costs for the constituents they need to keep voting for them.  Lower income families do not feel the energy policy burden, but middle class families are punished.

Yes, this is fundamentally class warfare, using the federal government to select the groups they do not want to feel the pain.  It’s the same principle of increasing food stamp and SNAP food subsidy assistance by 25% this year, while those who do not qualify are forced to pay for higher food costs and the subsidy -via income taxes- of those same groups.

Additionally, “The American Rescue Plan provided other critical resources that states and localities can use to address home energy costs. ERA programs, which received an additional $21.5 billion in funding from the American Rescue Plan, can provide help with past-due utility bills or ongoing assistance with energy costs to help distressed renters avoid shut-offs and keep current on expenses.” (link)

So, when people ask how Joe Biden and the Democrats are able to drive policies that massively hurt the American economy overall; remember, the pain we are feeling from the collective weight of these policies is not hitting the constituents the Democrats need in order to keep them in office.

The champagne socialists and investment class are protected.  The lower income and willingly subsidized class are protected.  It is the middle class who are being punished by the collective weight of this economic mess.

None of this is accidental.  This is a continuance of the ‘share/spread the wealth’ economic roadmap used by Obama.

Lunch-bucket Joe?…  Ya, sure.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Investment Portfolio


Armstrong Economics Blog/Traders Re-Posted Jan 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Bill Gates did not become one of the richest men in the world by investing in stocks. I am not recommending any of these particular stocks, but I do want to point out where Bill Gates’ interests lie. Notice how his foundation is invested in what many would consider COVID-sensitive equities such as Caterpillar and FedEx. Nearly half (45%) of his portfolio under his foundation is invested in his former buddy Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway. Warren Buffett subtly distanced himself from Bill Gates last year and resigned from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation after 15 years.

Before I share Bill’s portfolio, I must mention that Warren Buffett is now obligated to provide shares to the Gates Foundation. In June 2006, Buffett drafted the following letter:

"I greatly admire what the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“BMG”) is accomplishing and want to materially expand its future capabilities. Accordingly, by this letter, I am irrevocably committing to make annual gifts of Berkshire Hathaway “B” shares throughout my lifetime for the benefit of BMG. The first year’s gift will permit an increase in BMG’s annual giving of about $1.5 billion. In the future, I expect the value of my annual gifts to trend higher in an irregular but eventually substantial manner.

Here are the mechanics: Ten million B shares will be earmarked by me for BMG contributions. (I currently own only A shares but will soon convert a number of these to B.) In July of every year, or such later date as you elect, 5% of the balance of the earmarked shares will be contributed either directly to BMG or to a charitable intermediary that will hold the earmarked shares for the benefit of BMG. To illustrate, in 2006, 500,000 shares will be contributed. In 2007, 475,000 shares (5% of the 9,500,000 remaining after the 2006 contribution) will be contributed and thereafter 5% fewer shares will be contributed each year.

There are three conditions to this lifetime pledge. First, at least one of you must remain alive and active in the policy-setting and administration of BMG. Second, BMG (or any intermediary) must continue to satisfy legal requirements qualifying my gifts as charitable and not subject to gift or other taxes. And, finally, the value of my annual gift must be fully additive to the spending of at least 5% of the Foundation’s net assets. I expect there to be a ramp-up period of two years during which this condition will not apply. But beginning in calendar 2009, BMG’s annual giving must be at least equal to the value of my previous year’s gift plus 5% of BMG’s net assets. If this amount is exceeded in any year, however, the excess can be carried forward and be offset against a shortfall in subsequent years. Similarly a shortfall in a given year can be made up in the following year."

Buffett followed the letter by stating that in the event of his death, he expects contributions to the foundation to continue. “I will soon write a new will that will provide for a continuance of this commitment,” he penned. Although Buffett resigned last year, he also gifted the foundation $3.2 billion. However, that is based on the formula presented in his letter above from 2006 as Berkshire shares have spiked. Buffett knows that he will receive a tax incentive for donating money to the foundation as it could not possibly spend it all. Buffett says he received 40 cents in tax benefits for every $1,000 donated, but tax experts seem to believe that is misleading. Since he is avoiding capital gains and estate taxes that could hover around 40%, some experts believe he is saving around $400 to $740 on every $1,000 he gives away.

Here is a list from 2021 of the foundation’s portfolio:

  1. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)
  2. Waste Management (WM)
  3. Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)
  4. Canadian National Railway (CNI)
  5. Walmart (WMT)
  6. Ecolab (ECL)
  7. Microsoft (MSFT)
  8. Crown Castle International (CCI)
  9. United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS)
  10. Schrodinger, Inc. (SDGR)
  11. Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (KOF)
  12. Deere & Company (DE)
  13. FedEx Corp. (FDX)
  14. Grupo Televisa SAB (TV)
  15. Coupang, Inc. (CPNG)
  16. Alphabet (GOOG)(GOOGL)
  17. Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSGS)
  18. Weber Inc. (WEBR)
  19. On Holding AG (ON)
  20. Mexico Fund (MXF)
  21. Affirm Holdings, Inc. (AFRM)

The British Heart Foundation Normalizes Heart Failure in Young Athletes


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Jan 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The British Heart Foundation recently released this deranged advertisement showing a young female football (soccer for the Americans) player collapsing on the field. The commercial begins with a very young boy dressing with a visible scar vertically down his chest. Sudden heart failure in children is not a normal occurrence — well, it wasn’t before this “safe and effective” vaccine became available. I have reported on numerous athletes, the pinnacle of physical health, simply dropping dead. The common denominator? They all received the vaccine! Instead of asking for donations, the British Heart Foundation should look into the link between heart inflammation and mRNA vaccines if they truly care about patients.

Fake COVID-19 Test Centers Appear in Philadelphia


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Jan 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Disturbingly, a number of fraudulent COVID-19 testing pop-up centers are appearing in major cities throughout the US. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health issued a warning: “Last week, the Health Department was notified of small pop-up tents that were offering free COVID-19 testing operating in Center City. The staff who worked at these sites claimed they were funded by FEMA.”

The department went on to say that these pop-up sites were in no way affiliated with FEMA. As a matter of fact, the city seems puzzled as to how these centers even came into existence. These tents were placed in popular areas of the city that were completely on display, but it took many complaints before city officials shut down the operation.

What was the motive? The centers offered free testing at no direct cost and paid for the testing kits. I believe that the motive was identity and insurance theft. Those who visited the sites were asked to present identification, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses. They also have a slew of personal DNA at their disposal now. Some have reported that the sites attempted to collect their insurance information, but that is likely where they will get nabbed as insurance companies are notoriously ruthless.

The city of Philadelphia is now telling everyone with symptoms who visited one of these testing centers to assume that they are positive for COVID. Yet another method to inflate numbers. Anyone who has visited Philadelphia in recent years has seen the city’s rapid decline as both poverty and crime are on the rise. The city should require bulletproof vests instead of masks. As of January 3, the city prohibited unvaccinated patrons from entering public spaces. Mayor Jim Kenney is clueless, and someone should be held responsible for allowing these sites to exist in plain view without proper examination. If you visited one of these testing locations, review your personal information to ensure that your identity and personal information are secure.

Macron Pushing France to Revolution


Armstrong Economics Blog/France Re-Posted Jan 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

French President Emmanuel Macron has shown that he is just not suitable to be the head of any government. Macron is fully on board with Schwab’s Great Reset. They promised that creating the EU would lead to a bigger economy that would beat the United States, but that has proven false. The EU has even been surpassed by China. Macron actually said in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper:

“I really want to piss them off, and we’ll carry on doing this – to the end.” 

For a head of state to address the nation in this manner is unimaginable. Mandatory vaccinations are the brainchild of the World Economic Forum to crush society in order to Build Back Better. The vaccines are already being addressed that you will need boosters every 3 to 6 months to retain any rights. They do not prevent COVID, but they are effective as a tool to manipulate and divide society. With elections coming up in April, he is clearly counting on dividing the country and trying to turn the vaccinated into the oppressors of the unvaccinated.

Vaccines are being introduced in several European countries, with Austria leading the way. That was the trial balloon and the people complied and did not storm the palaces and drag the politicians out as they have done in Brazil. Germany is moving forward with the same plan, and our staff in Germany have now left the country to protect their children. Italy’s government is considering a compulsory vaccine pass for at least anyone over 60.

Macron in his interview with Le Parisien used the vulgar term emmerder to say how he wanted to stir up the unvaccinated. He would not “vaccinate by force” the remaining five million, but said he was “limiting as much as possible their access to activities in social life.”

He continued: “I won’t send [unvaccinated people] to prison.” Nevertheless, he said: “so we need to tell them, from 15 January, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theatre. You will no longer be able to go to the cinema.”

Reports from France say that politicians are starting to get death threats. Schwab had to cancel Davos because of all the death threats. History warns that this is the inevitable end result. There will be revolutions and they will drag politicians out of their ivory towers — they will be killed in the streets. Over 200 million people died the last time they tried to impose Marxism. It was a blood bath. This is the reality of Schwab’s dream. History will indeed repeat and this is building to violence in Europe very rapidly. The people may have been denied guns, but they can use old fashion resistance with bows and arrows and sling-shots.

The Romans made slingshot bullets that came at you with such force they could knock you out or even kill you. They were typically almond shape to increase the velocity. It will be interesting to see if people who are denied guns can still resort to ancient-style weapons for a revolution. Unfortunately, people like Macron are in charge and they are providing the very incentive for revolution as the worst tyrants in history. In the US, fortunately, our political structure denied the head of state the powers being exercised in Europe. In the USA, it is state by state.

Australian Government Detains #1 Tennis Player in World, Novak Djokovic, Cancels His Visa and Plans to Deport Over Vaccine Status


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 5, 2022 | sundance | 192 Comments

The totalitarian regime in Australia has created a real mess after they granted tennis superstar Novak Djokovic, the #1 player in the world, a visa to enter the country and play in the Australian Open, and then detained him at the airport, cancelled the visa, and announced they will forcibly deport him.

The Serbs have promised to fight the Australians in the streets.

Why?  Because of Djokovic’s vaccination status, of course.

Australia – […] Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Instagram he spoke with Djokovic over the phone and told him that “the whole of Serbia is with him and that our authorities are undertaking all measures in order that maltreatment of the world’s best tennis player ends as soon as possible”.

“In line with all standards of international public law, Serbia will fight for Novak Djokovic, justice and truth.”

Australian prime minister Scott Morrison said that Djokovic had failed to provide sufficient proof to receive a medical exemption to enter the country and insisted that the Serb was not “singled out” for scrutiny over his visa cancellation.  He said: “Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders”.

Having landed on a commercial flight at Melbourne Airport around 12.30pm, the Serbian was detained for hours upon arrival, with news of his visa cancellation coming a full nine hours later. According to his father, Srdjan, Djokovic had initially been kept alone in a room with guards outside. “Novak is currently in a room which no one can enter,” he had told the B92 internet portal. “In front of the room are two policemen.”

Srdjan also told Australian breakfast show Sunrise: “They are holding my son captive. If they don’t release him in the next half an hour, we will fight them on the street.”

Djokovic had gleefully announced on Tuesday that he had been given an exemption from having to be vaccinated against coronavirus before boarding a 14-hour flight from Dubai to Melbourne. (read more)

In a fight between the Serbians and the Australians, it’s likely the less woke Serbians would win…  Just sayin’.

French President Emmanuel Macron Declares Unvaccinated as “Annoying, Non-Citizens”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 5, 2022 | sundance | 253 Comments

Serrez plus fort, mes amis – squeeze harder. This only ends one way.

The communist leftists in France have always had a problem with their citizenry.  Their biggest challenge is that France, has a strong historic sense of nationalism.  The modern political left in Europe has worked earnestly to erode that cultural truth, and the leftists in the U.S. have tried to assist them throughout.  This is the essential reason why the U.S. State Department deployed the “Rivkin Project.”

Like Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron was installed by the larger assembly of Vichy Communists; and just like the previous Tea Party rose up to confront President Obama, in France the Yellow Vest movement appeared to confront President Macron.   We are finally at a time where people are able to see these connective tissues, and that my friends is a very good outcome.

We the people, those who understand the deepest values of nationalism in the cultural and political battle against globalism, need these installed leaders to remain visible.

We need them to squeeze harder because every time they do, more people awaken.

French President Emmanuel Macron feels emboldened by the rise of COVID fear.  Pretenses are being dropped as these words were spoken yesterday about the citizens of France:

(EuroNews) […] Macron told Le Parisien that he had decided to act against the non-vaccinated, by “limiting as much as possible their access to social life activity”.  “The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so we will continue to do so, to the bitter end. That’s the strategy,” the head of state said. “When my freedom comes to threaten that of other people, I become irresponsible. An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen.”

The president’s language is being seen as an inversion of a comment by one of his predecessors Georges Pompidou, who said it was time to “stop pissing off the French people” in 1966 when he was prime minister.

“I am not going to put them in prison, I am not going to forcibly vaccinate them,” Macron went on. “Therefore you have to say to them: from January 15 you can no longer go to a restaurant, you can no longer go for a drink, you can no longer go for a coffee, you can no longer go to the theatre, you can no longer go to the cinema,” the president said.  (read more)

Barack Obama was installed; the American people are starting to realize.

Justin Trudeau was installed; the Canadian people are starting to realize.

Jacinda Ardern was installed; the people of New Zealand are starting to realize.

Emmanuel Macron was installed; the French people are starting to realize.

Ursula von der Leyen was installed; the people captured by the EU are starting to realize.

And yes, when they installed Joe Biden, they went too far, and this installation process started to become transparent.

The beta testing for the globalist (World Economic Forum) controlled and installed efforts became highly visible to many close observers when Barack H. Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt and triggered the beginning of what became known as “The Arab Spring.”   There it was the visible delivery of what we knew was taking place, but for the first time it was transparent which processes they were deploying.

The Obama visit to Cairo was needed, because it was around the same time when the socialist movement in the European Union was running out of financing for their multi-cultural experiment.   The state department effort was coordinated by Charles Rivkin, hence the Rivkin Project specifically targeting the peskiest country for the globalists pushing multi-culturalism in the EU, France.

Now, thanks to various governments’ weaponizing COVID as a tool for control, people around the world are starting to sense and even see that something is controlling all of this – at least something is coordinating all of this.  Indeed, the political exploits of the multinational corporate elites from Davos and the World Economic Forum are starting to become much more visible.

Squeeze harder I say…. this awakening needs more urgency.  The line of acceptance is different for all people.   We need the forces driving that line to move rapidly in order to assemble the largest army possible.  Squeeze harder.

It takes moments of great consequence to overcome generational complacency.  That is the opportunity we are being given with COVID-19 and the government exploitation of it.

The hidden totalitarian nature of government and the ruling class is being revealed, this is a good development for those who were trying desperately to get people to see it before.

I am optimistic, like the moment in the battle when the disproportionate brutality becomes visible, and the tides change in favor of victim.  The cheers around the colosseum do not have to start out supporting the gladiators in order for the gladiator to ultimately become victorious.  Indeed, any gladiator worth his salt knows the primary goal is to change the chant and instill fear in one gilded chair.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.  Extreme measures to retain control are reactions to equally extreme senses of fear.

All around the world, right now, there are mini dictators tenuously clinging to power and trying to control a much larger mob.  They have multitudes of advisors helping them, they have financial resources, and they have enforcers. However, just as Gaius Julius Caesar lost control with the entire Roman army around him, so too are these dictators and totalitarians subjects to a much larger citizenry.

Squeeze harder…. please, squeeze harder.

As fast as possible, we need to get to the point where we are finally going to deal with them.  Simultaneously, they are trying to avoid being dealt with.  Squeeze harder, says the slave gladiator as others surface to join the fight.  Squeeze harder.

This will not end well for the ruling class.  So, let’s get on with it…

Squeeze harder…
