Fleeing to the Dollar because of the Delta Variant?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Jul 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Germany, they have now determined that 40% of all cash in the system is currently being hoarded. The German press, DWN, is also reporting that “Because of the rampant delta variant of the coronavirus, investors are again increasingly heading for the ‘safe haven’ dollar.”

The three largest deaths are usually cardiovascular (17.79 million), cancer (9.6 million), and respiratory (3.9 million; flu/coronavirus). In the United States, the CDC numbers listed from 2015 through 2018 are 2,712,630 deaths in the US in 2015, 2,744,248 in 2016, 2,813,503 in 2017, and 2,839,205 in 2018. A total of 2,854,838 resident deaths were registered in the United States in 2019.

The CDC preliminary report presents as an overview of provisional US mortality data for 2020 which they are guessing will come in at approximately 3,358,814 deaths, with a footnote. That footnote says that this is based on death records received and processed as of March 21, 2021, for deaths occurring in the United States among US residents. The CDC also tracks violent deaths as well.

Tunisia Erupts in Chaos During COVID Protests, Government Teters on Brink


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 26, 2021 | Sundance | 31 Comments

Tunisia was the first country to erupt and then collapse under the pressure of the Obama-inspired Arab Spring in 2011.  Those who followed those events closely will note something very familiar in this Reuters report about the current crisis.

Watch the Video Report, and pay attention to how the protests originated: “The protests, the biggest in Tunisia for months and the biggest to target Ennahda for years, were called by social media activists. No political parties publicly backed the rallies.”

You might well remember the trigger and coordination mechanism for the 2011 “Arab Spring” was social media.  Specifically the U.S. government, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, working with Twitter and Facebook to use those platforms as a communication network for the radical Islamists to utilize.

Tunis, and the government of Ben Ali, was the first state to fall during the Arab Spring; the flames spread throughout the region, next striking Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen and eventually Libya.   Hosni Mubarak (Egypt) and Muamar Kadaffi (Libya) were removed by radical elements, assisted by the United States, and replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood.

It does not seem coincidental to have another government collapse in Tunisia, making it yet again the first regime to fall; and the action, yet again, driven by social media.

Tunisia is a tenuous democracy at best.

We know the Intelligence Branch coordinates with the U.S. Department of State; and we know the intel branch has a public-private partnership between the U.S. government and Big Tech.   Coincidentally the Tunis events happen, once again, as Obama enters his third term through Joe Biden?

This smells very familiar.  Perhaps another coordinated effort by the people behind Obama in order to trigger a totalitarian government outcome.

Time will tell, if the U.S. government is using Tunis as a beta test again, only this time they are weaponizing the COVID Crisis and leveraging the vaccinations. NOTE:

(Reuters) “Our patience has run out… there are no solutions for the unemployed,” said Nourredine Selmi, 28, a jobless protester. “They cannot control the epidemic … They can’t give us vaccines.”

Last week, Mechichi sacked the health minister after chaotic scenes at walk-in vaccination centres during the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, where large crowds queued for inadequate supplies of vaccine.

After a year of wrangling with Mechichi and the leader of Ennahda, Rached Ghannouchi, who is also parliament speaker, President Saied declared the army would take over the pandemic response.

Some analysts saw the move as an attempt to expand his powers beyond the foreign and military role assigned to the president in the 2014 constitution. (read more)

Note how the embattled President moves toward the military solution?

Where has that familiar sentiment been expressed?

Unrestricted Mass Border Invasion Continues, REPORT: 1 Million Illegal Entries in June, With 20,000 in Rio Grand Valley Sector Last Week Alone


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 31 Comments

The head for the Rio Grand Valle(RGV) sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, Brian Hastings, sent an alarming tweet message earlier today.

According to Hastings: “It’s the hottest part of the summer and apprehensions are skyrocketing! USBP Apprehensions surpassed the 1-million milestone in June. NOW- this week alone – #RGV has apprehended more than 20K illegally present migrants.”

One million illegal aliens walk into the country while Joe Biden claims to be concerned about the spread of COVID-19?

Think about it….

The Other Side of the COVID Vaccination Argument, Video


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 205 Comments

There is a lot of incoming information from government and the private sector promoting the vaccine. Recently, there has been a significant uptick in compulsory demands for taking the COVID vaccine. This forced vaccination approach has made many people start to question why this coordinated pressure campaign has increased with such ferocity.

As a result of such one-side information, people are increasingly skeptical. In this video below you can review the counter-position for why people do not want to take the vaccination shot. [Direct Link]  I am not sure who produced it, but CTH is sharing it in an effort to provide balance.  The claims are well cited.

Devin Nunes Discusses Scale of Propaganda From Biden Regime


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 98 Comments

Devin Nunes appears with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the previous six months of the Biden regime.  Representative Nunes notes how the media  is struggling to find a positive outcome from any policy, and the inability of the installed White House occupant to form coherent sentences.

An important issue for Nunes is the advancement of Chinese interests on U.S. soil and the facilitation of China’s influence by the Biden regime.   Additionally al-Qaeda is rising back up in Afghanistan, China is conducting unrestricted cyber-intrusions and the U.S. military is more concerned about wokeism than strategic defense.

On the subject of the NSA conducting surveillance of American citizens, specifically Tucker Carlson, Representative Nunes references the history of President Obama’s weaponization of the intelligence agencies and notes their behavior has not changed throughout.  The republicans on the House Intel Committee are conducting an independent investigation of the NSA.

The 2021 Gang of Eight, responsible for national intelligence oversight:  Adam Schiff, Devin Nunes, Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy, Mark Warner, Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.

Seven of the Eight are demonstrably compromised by their specific participation in prior unlawful intelligence efforts (spygate, surveillance, etc.); and I’m beginning to have my doubts about Devin Nunes….

With Narrative Established, CDC Announces Withdrawal of Rapid Response COVID Test to Belatedly Stop Diagnosing Influenza as SARS-COV-2?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 325 Comments

Well this is seriously sketchy, and feel free to correct me if my interpretation is incorrect, but the CDC has recently released a Lab Alert notifying healthcare providers they are withdrawing their emergency use request of the SARS-COV-2 rapid response diagnostic; and informing test centers to adopt new, modified, COVID testing that does not conflate influenza (the flu) with positive results for COVID-19.

This looks like a back-door admission that many of the COVID positive results were actually, perhaps intentionally & purposefully, Flu cases diagnosed as COVID.  If so, this would explain why the number of cases of influenza disappeared over the last 18 months…..

…And, if so, this would seem to indicate an intentionally inflated outcome from prior COVID-19 testing.

[CDC ALERT] – “After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.”

[…] “In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season.” Read More

Common sense – If the original RT-PCR diagnostic was accurate in the detection of COVID-19 alone, then why would they abandon the rapid response test?  Why the need to shift to a different, newer and  CDC approved, rapid response test?….  if not to shift away from a previous test that created false positives?

Another way of looking at it is that politically the CDC wanted to create the illusion of more COVID spread than existed (Trump administration), and the current regime (Biden administration) needs to show progress in diminished cases of COVID in order to support Joe Biden and the needs of Democrats for the 2022 mid-terms.   As a result they now switch to a rapid-response test that will only diagnose COVID cases.

This is certainly a suspicious development…. which, no doubt, they will have a plan to justify.

Are we all being manipulated by political science?

Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious….

REMINDER, Ten House Republicans Who Voted to Impeach President Trump, and Links To Their Primary Opponents Who Need Support


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 25, 2021 | Sundance | 112 Comments

As noted in an article on campaign contributions [HERE], the Ten House DeceptiCons who voted to impeach President Trump are out-fundraising their grassroots challengers. Of course they are. The corrupt DC system is designed to protect their own.

The establishment GOP are not getting involved. The RNC is not financially supporting any primary opponents. However, the club does not control the voting support, ‘We The People’ do.

That leaves it up to us. We need to financially support the challengers and then turn out in massive numbers to defeat these creeps in the primary. These are the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach President Trump. This is who we need to defeat and send a message:

These ten DeceptiCons in the House also voted to support Nancy Pelosi’s “January 6th Commission.” They knew during the vote the purpose of the commission was to assist Democrats with a campaign narrative for 2022. There is no excuse for this level of decepticon behavior. However, they will be supported and funded by all voices who oppose the ‘America-First’ economic agenda. These people must be removed. There can be no quarter.

Scroll down for the campaign links to their primary opponents we need to support:

♦ Valdao is being challenged in California by Chris Mathys [ Website Here ]

♦ Kinzinger is being challenged in Illinois by Catalina Lauf [ Website Here]

♦ Meijer is being challenged in Michigan by Tom Norton [ Website Here]

♦ Upton is being challenged in Michigan by Steve Carra [ Website Here]

♦ Cheney is being challenged in Wyoming by three opponents:

    1. Anthony Bouchard [Website Here],
    2. Chuck Gray [Website Here], and
    3. Darin Smith [Website Here]

♦ John Katko (NY-24) is currently uncontested [ Need Primary Candidate]

If you’ve been in the battle for a while, you know what to do:

Select a candidate or candidates that you want to support. Then send them money, no amount is too small.

Second, it’s okay if you cannot send them money. Share this link with your friends, family, community and tribe. Distributing the message is just as valuable, if not more, than sending a direct donation.

Post links to the primary challenger you support on Facebook, Twitter and all your social media platforms. Help get out the word. Make a weekly reminder to keep doing this and spread your message out on different days and different times so you catch the maximum visibility.

If you live in the area, donate your time to help the candidate. If you do not live in the area, you may still volunteer your time to do phone calls, emails and Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts. Take action.

Be very visible with your support (yard signs etc). If the candidate doesn’t have the resources for signs, stickers etc, MAKE YOUR OWN.

Even if the candidate does have signs etc, remember you can save them campaign expenses if you make your own. Think big and act. Some of the most successful challenges have nothing to do with money, and everything to do with organization and determination.

Remember also, YOU MATTER. No amount of effort is too small. If you are new to the grassroot effort, think like an insurgent. Simple post-it notes left around (gas pumps, restaurants, etc) supporting your candidate are a simple and effective way to send a message. Keep imprinting the name. Simple post-it notes can have a big impact with name imprint: Ex. “Support Catalina Lauf“, written with a sharpie on a post-it note. That’s it. That’s all it needs to say. It puts the message out.

Keep all messages positive. We are all in the same foxhole. Put your support behind those who are standing up. Do not sit silent while our candidates stand in front of the fury of entrenched opposition. Stand with them. STAND.

If you are in the area of one of these challenges, network with the community and volunteer for anything you are able. No effort is too small, even making coffee or helping run errands can be a big assist. Key point…. keep making the offer even if there is nothing currently available that fits your schedule or ability.

When you turn your thoughts into action, you will be amazed at how positive your frame-of-mind becomes. Taking action is empowering.

We will update and repost this message as a reminder from time to time.

Love to all,

Macron’s Medical Tyranny


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com on JUL 22, 2021 AT 9:56 AM

The New Nazis In Town

The French are no strangers to Tyranny…they lived through it when the Nazis occupied France during WW2

French President Emmanuel Macron wanted to ram through a ‘vaccine passport,’ which would have become necessary for the people of France to enter places such as cafés, shopping centers, and bistros. If the owner of a commercial establishment did not confirm the status of each and every customer, huge fines could be levied.

This tyrannical mandate enraged the French people and they conducted a massive protest. As a result, Macron had to back off and delay the passport. Such a plan will not go away, however. Macron is controlled by the central bankers and the global ruling elitist class. He does as he’s told.

Still, this is a good lesson for Americans. If the Biden Regime attempts to force vaccine passports on us, we need to hit the streets and protest. The Constitution does not say all of our liberties can be tossed out the window in the face of a concocted ‘medical emergency.’

We must push back against big government’s relentless encroachment on our liberty and privacy. The Constitution does not end when a pandemic begins.

Is a Revolution Coming?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jul 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

We have an amazing number of readers in France, and I want to thank everyone for all the emails documenting what is going on. Anyone who takes videos of protests in the future I have no problem sharing them for the world to see.

The details of what moves people to revolution are important. During the summer of 1789, Paris was in a crisis. The people had been suffering from food shortages and the high taxes used to pay King Louis XVI’s vast debts because of his fiscal mismanagement the treasury was empty at the end of 1788.  The French found themselves in the middle of unprecedented political turmoil which erupted with the opening of the Estates General, France’s Parliament, for the first time in more than one hundred years. Many Parisians were also angered by the dismissal of the popular minister Jacques Necker on July 11th. Like Pelosi surrounding the capitol with troops, from the beginning of June 1789, Louis XVI had also positioned troops around Paris also claiming risk of extremists.

The militarization of Paris provoked a march to the Hôtel des Invalides, where the people also looted approximately 3,000 firearms and five canons. Instead of clothes and trinkets, they looted weapons. However, the weapons required gunpowder, which was stored in the Bastille. They then headed to the Bastille prison and tried to negotiate with its governor. That being unsuccessful, they burst into an outer courtyard and a battle erupted. By the time it was over, the people of Paris had freed the prisoners held in the Bastille because they were simply there, and they had taken the governor hostage along with three of his officers. But the hostages were soon be killed and then beheaded. Their heads were paraded through the streets on pikes. Since the storming of the Bastille was to simply get gunpowder, the people were effectively unarmed and nearly one hundred died but only eight prison guards were killed.

All of this happened on July 14, 1789 (1789.53) which has been known in France as “Bastille Day” ever since. Once Louis XVI heard that the Bastille had fallen, he asked the duke de La Rochefoucauld: “So, is there a rebellion?” To which the duke retorted: “No, Sire, a revolution!”

Storming the Bastille became t6he beginning of the French Revolution when it was not intended as such. Yet, it has become an iconic moment in history. This was the spark that ignited the revolution forcing the King to begin concessions. That was the sign of weakness which then inspired the people’s movement to overthrow him which led to beheading both him and his wife in the hope of burying monarchy forever following the inspiration of the American Revolution nearly precisely 13 years before.

In 1880, the French made the Storming of the Bastille their national holiday. Unfortunately, France entered a century of revolutions (1789-1871) and numerous new republics after Napoleon.

Nevertheless, the two main issues that led to the revolution were (1) high taxes, and (2) food shortages which inspired the claim that Marie Antonette said: “Let them eat cake” which was the crust in the pan after baking bread.

Our models on France target 2021.73 which will be September 23/24. In 1895 on this day, that is when the French labor union CGT (Confederation Generale du Travail) was formed. In 1920 on this same day, that is when Alexander Millerand was elected president of France. Then on this day in 1941, General de Gaulle forms government in exile in London.

There is a real risk that we will have a real version of The Hunger Games.
