Doctor Who Discovered Omicron Variant Was Forced to Lie About Severity


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Feb 14, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Dr. Angelique Coetzee, head of the South African Medical Association and one of the doctors who discovered omicron, admitted that she was pressured not to reveal the mildness of the variant. “I was told not to publicly state that it was a mild illness. I have been asked to refrain from making such statements and to say that it is a serious illness. I declined,” Dr. Coetzee told Germany’s Welt newspaper.

Coetzee did not reveal which government officials pressured her to lie. However, she revealed that it spanned far beyond the South African government. In an effort to discredit her, Coetzee says that officials from the Netherlands and UK also began to criticize her. “What I said at one point—because I was just tired of it—was: In South Africa, this is a mild illness, but in Europe, it is a very serious one. That’s what your politicians wanted to hear,” she said.

“The definition of mild COVID-19 disease is clear, and it is a [World Health Organization] definition: patients can be treated at home and oxygen or hospitalization is not required,” Coetzee said, adding, “A serious illness is one in which we see acute pulmonary respiratory infections: people need oxygen, maybe even artificial respiration. We saw that with delta—but not with omicron. So I said to people, ‘I can’t say it like that because it’s not what we’re seeing.’”

Hospitals and Big Pharma would have lost out on profits from omicron had her voice not been stifled. Lockdowns, mandates, and the governments’ grab for power would have potentially lessened had the mainstream media reported the doctor’s findings. Governments worldwide clearly have an agenda (Agenda 2030) and collaborated to LIE to the people in order to retain the powers provided to them by COVID fearmongering. The Great Unwashed eventually discovered the truth after countless people contracted the virus and lived to tell the tale. In fact, omicron proved that the vaccines were a moot point since “the vaccinated” still contracted and transmitted the virus. The truth always reveals itself in the end.

Putin Has Won


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Re-Posted Feb 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

In all honesty, Biden is the very last person you should put on the phone with Putin, who is clearly the most intelligent world leader on the stage today. The US is showing it is pathetic, incompetent, and barks but has no teeth. The West has clearly surrendered Ukraine to Russia. There is no way Ukraine will be allowed into NATO. On that score, pretending that Biden rejects every request from Putin is really a joke – Putin has won already. Mitch McConnel is also a joke and should be run out of Washington. The major issue is to pull all nukes and NATO forces back to where they were in 1997.

Macron’s meeting with Putin was also pathetic. Biden’s phone call was a real joke. They called it a high-stakes phone call on Saturday morning that was a complete failure because it once again was no concession to any point and just more of the same threats. The White House admitted failure stating “no fundamental change in the dynamics unfolding now for several weeks.” Typical, Biden told Putin that “if Russia undertakes a further invasion of Ukraine, the United States together with our Allies and partners will respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia,” according to the White House.

Biden’s handlers and all Western allies began to evacuate their embassies in Kyiv. American diplomats moved to Lviv in western Ukraine, where they could be more easily evacuated if a Russian invasion begins. Biden has ordered all 150 American military trainers and members of the Florida National Guard who have been in Ukraine to help its forces prepare for a potential invasion to leave.

Russia has already liquidated its US bond holdings but there is no indication that China has begun any wholesale liquidation of US debt at this time. While our model shows this was a Panic Cycle week and that the capital flows were indicating a geopolitical event, despite the US intelligence officials reporting that Putin has given the order to attack its neighbor within days, this may be faulty intelligence as they did in Afghanistan. Perhaps they have no intelligence beyond climate change these days. While our model targeted the week of February 14 as both a Directional Change and high volatility, the Panic Cycle in the Ruble is going into the Week of March 7th with the rise in volatility the week of the 14th. Of course, if Putin invaded and stopped with the East, that may be a way to watch Germany freeze in this very cold winter and call the West’s bluff.

US intelligence claims that a Russian invasion would be preceded by two days of aerial bombardment and electronic warfare, followed by a ground assault with the potential goal of overthrowing the Kyiv government. They just may have no clue and assume this is an all-out invasion to take all of Ukraine.

A lot of people have asked about how the hell can our computer project these targets even near-term a year in advance? Most people have a theory and then try to find facts to support it. That is why such analysis always fails. I discovered the incredible regularity of time and I did not begin with a theory so I am still trying to understand why the timing is so accurate. Here is a chart of the Monthly Array on the Dow from last July 2021. Even back then December and February were the strongest targets as you can see in the top Aggregate of 72 separate and independent models. December was the high intraday or on a closing basis in so many markets and here we are in February. Correlating everything with Russia allows us to hone in on the timing and where. It is not my personal opinion.

When we look at the Dow Array, this hinted that we could get the opposite trend from February into March and this opens the door as I said at the WEC, a high on the ECM turning point would also warn of a potential decline into 2023. Take note that May is a Monthly Panic Cycle. Clearly, a March high would not look good going forward.

With the US telling the world that Putin will invade this week, Putin is perhaps more inclined to keep the mystery going. He has won insofar as the West is abandoning Ukraine. Even if Putin enters Ukraine, he will most likely stop taking the East which is predominantly Russia ethnically. The likelihood of him bombing Kyiv does not appear to be very high. Time is on the side of Putin and he has proven to Ukraine that the West is not about to defend them and that NATO is weak. Putin has achieved his goal – the West ran with its tail between its legs.

If the West dared to try to remove Russia from SWIFT, we are looking at an incredible rise in commodities and expanding the shortages. Even car production is dependent upon platinum. Energy prices would rise sharply in Europe, and I really do not see how Germany can afford to turn off the gas from Russia. This is one giant mess and it seems that either these morons are intentionally slapping Put in the face and begging for him to invade so they can escape the COVID nightmare they have created, or we truly have the most unqualified group of world leaders in all recorded history.

Ou model is picking up the panic of the West withdrawing from Ukraine and the wealthy in Ukraine rushing to get their capital out to the USA for safe-keeping. All Putin has to do is sit back and watch the West collapse further and he is very smart. Why invade and allow the West to escape COVID using Russia?

Rome fell because of internal weakness which the Barbarians’ then could smell the weakness. The West will fall. It has at best 10 years remaining. The WOKE movement is dividing and weakening society. The more divided, the easier it is for the collapse. Civilization rises when everyone comes together and benefits. It falls when one group tries to exploit another. Canceling people for something they said or did 20 years before is absurd. I think we all have said something stupid in high school. It seems to have begun with Kavanaugh’s hearing for the Supreme Court dragging up allegations from school decades before. If something happened back then, why wait 30 years to bring it up?

We are cascading into oblivion. Of course, every society that has ever attempted Marxist socialism style from the days of the first Communist society, Sparta 5th century BC, has cascaded into oblivion. Sparta was so Communist, they never even issued coins because that would encourage individual wealth. So here we go again and nobody ever bothers to consult history to ask a simple question:

Has anyone tried this before? Did it work?

Canadian State Media Declare Freedom is Racist


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 13, 2022 | Sundance | 131 Comments

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), a media entity funded by the Canadian government, announces today that “freedom” is a word used by extremist “far-right” groups.  These are the same labeled groups the Canadian government has called racist and worse.

Yes, the official position from the Canadian state media [Article Here] is that freedom is racist.

(Tweet Link)

Marxism in its most historically accurate form, always uses manipulation of language as a technique for influencing society.  Political correctness is better known as cultural Marxism, because that is actually what happens.   This type of ridiculous effort by leftist media does not need to be countered, it just needs to be mocked and ridiculed mercilessly.

When everything is extremism, nothing is extremism.  When everything is racist, nothing is racist.  Remember, political protests the leftists do not support are called violence; and the political violence the leftists do support is called protest.

Sunday Talks, Neil Oliver – Save The Kids


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 13, 2022 | Sundance | 191 Comments

Neil Oliver has a very specific monologue this week for the audience as he talks about the impact of COVID-19 mandates and dictates on the kids.

As Oliver rightly points out, when history reviews the events of the recent past it will not reflect well.  Our children have been brutalized mentally and physically by COVID-19 rules, mandates and regulations.  Many will be impacted forever.

Then again, if the larger goal of government is to create a fearful generation, with an outlook of blind compliance to regime dictates within a global governing system… well, from that perspective, their evil decisions make sense. WATCH:

Repeal the Mask Mandate


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Feb 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

giant billboard has been placed in Times Square, asking Joe Biden to repeal the mask mandates. “Hey Joe! Even your home state is ditching the mask requirements. Isn’t it time you do the same?!” the billboard reads. The Job Creators Network (JCN) erected the ad and has been a large opponent of mandates. They have been very effective in making progress. The website states:

“In the Biden Administration’s latest offensive in the war on small business, the White House, through the Department of Labor, attempted to impose a de facto vaccine mandate that would impact more than 80 million private sector employees—many of which work at small businesses. JCN was the first business group to file legal action against the executive overreach and, now, the Supreme Court has blocked the rule.”

The Job Creation Network sued the Biden Administration for forcing people out of the workforce by requiring vaccine mandates. “The federal government doesn’t have the power to require small businesses to carry out its de facto national vaccine mandate. JCN’s lawsuit intends to block this federal power grab,” the group said. A judge agreed that Biden’s mandate was an abuse of power and repealed the Executive Order – resistance is not futile.

Video from 1947 – Don’t Be a Sucker


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Feb 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

This old film from 1947 serves as a warning — do not allow the government to divide us.

The video discusses how the people came together as the German people until Hitler came to power. The people were then divided by race and religion, separated, and no longer allowed to identify as simply “German.”

“If those people stuck together, if they had protected each other, they could have resisted the Nazi threat. Together they would have been strong, but once they allowed themselves to be split apart, they were helpless. When that first minority lost out, everybody lost out. They made the mistake of gambling with other people’s freedom,” the narrator said.

“You have a right to be who you are and say what you think because here we have personal freedom. These are not just fancy words, this is a practical and priceless way of living. But we must work it. We must guard everyone’s liberty or we will lose our own.”

Superbowl Ad Prices Reach All-Time High


Armstrong Economics Blog/North America Re-Posted Feb 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. The biggest sporting event of the year in the US is also the most coveted advertising opportunity. Despite rising ad prices, NBC has managed to sell out all of its advertising space for the game.

A 30-second commercial could cost upward of $6.5 million, with some sources citing $7 million. This marks a 20% increase from when NBC hosted the game in 2018. When CBS hosted the game last year, the highest recorded price for a commercial was $5.6 million. CBS brought in additional revenue by requesting companies pay an extra $300,000 to be featured on their live stream. It is estimated that around 80 to 90 commercials will run during any given Super Bowl, providing a huge stream of revenue for the broadcaster.

According to SuperBowl-ads.com, the price of running a commercial during Superbowl I in 1966 was $37,500. Ad costs have continued to gain traction each year as viewership grows and the prestige of placing an ad in the Superbowl has become a highly desirable marketing venture. Sporting News has provided a price history of 30-second ads over the years:

2000       $2,100,000

2001       $2,200,000

2002       $2,200,000
