Google Announces They Will Monitor YouTube Videos For “Prohibited Claims” About Climate Change


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 8, 2021 | Sundance | 139 Comments

Comrade rebels, the Ministry of Truth is here to guide you in your correct thoughts.   Google, the world’s largest internet search engine and owner of the YouTube platform, has announced their intent to demonetize any content providers who challenge scientific consensus on climate change and global warming.

According to CBS, any person who advances a “prohibited claim” will have ads on their their content removed.

CBS – “Google and YouTube will soon prohibit advertisements on content that “contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change,” Google announced Thursday. The decision will prevent the creators of such content from earning ad revenue from Google.

The advertisement ban, which will be implemented next month, targets “content referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam, claims denying that long-term trends show the global climate is warming, and claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change,” Google said. The platforms will also ban ads that promote that type of content.”

[…] Google said it will “look carefully” at whether a piece of content is making a prohibited claim or simply discussing it, and said many climate-related topics —like debates on climate policies, the different impacts of climate change and new research — will still be acceptable. (more)

America First Legal Requests IG Investigation of Merrick Garland Use of FBI To Target Parents – Letter Presents Evidence of White House and Education Activists Coordinating To Use DOJ As Weapon in 2022 Mid-Terms


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 8, 2021 | Sundance | 131 Comments

Steven Miller’s legal group, America-First Legal (AFL) has written a very interesting letter [pdf HERE] to the DOJ Office of Inspector General outlining insider information about a coordinated effort by outside education activists, White House officials and DOJ collaborators.

The basic outline is that left-wing activists, steeped in Critical Race Theory, were alarmed at how the grassroots parent groups were organizing so rapidly against the Marxist school curriculum they had spent so much time creating.  The group activists including allies within the NEA (National Education Association) and AFT (American Federation of Teachers) viewed the parent push back as a threat, and requested help from the White House.

Biden Domestic Policy Council officials and White House staff worked through September with the education activists to brainstorm a plan to stop the push back from parents.  According to the internal documents used as evidence by America First Legal, these groups then coordinated “discussions with senior DOJ officials, including at least one political appointee in the department’s Civil Rights Division.”

After a plan was developed, the group then enlisted the National School Boards Association to join the strategy.  According to AFL, “On or about September 29, citing legal authorities including the Patriot Act, the “National School Boards Association” made public a letter demanding federal action against parents citing authorities including the Patriot Act.”

The activist groups already had a close ally to their cause within Merrick Garland’s family.  Garland’s daughter is married to Xan Tanner, the co-founder of Panorama Education, the provider of the source material to use CRT principles of equity to manipulate student views on gender and race.

In support of the White House objective; and in support of the financial position of his family; Attorney General Merrick Garland then triggered his October 4th memo to the FBI to begin launching investigations against the parent groups.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, America First Legal requested that the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) investigate the circumstances surrounding Attorney General Garland’s October 4th memorandum regarding the use of federal law enforcement against parents opposed to critical race theory, gender ideology, and irrational mask mandates in public schools. 

Among other things, AFL asked OIG to investigate whether the Attorney General’s Memorandum was issued on Biden White House instructions contrary to the department’s standard procedures, and to determine if it was issued for the improper partisan purpose of chilling and deterring parents from exercising their constitutional right to control and direct the education of their children.  (LINK)

Los Angeles Sheriff Says He Will Not Enforce Vaccine Mandate For His Department


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 8, 2021 | Sundance | 101 Comments

This is an interesting situation, because the elected Sheriff is the highest constitutional officer in Los Angeles County.  While city/county administrators can attempt to make life miserable for LA Sheriff Alex Villanueva, the dynamic of enforcement is another kettle of fish entirely.

According to CBS local, “In early August, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors unanimously ratified an executive order requiring all county employees, regardless of department, to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1, with exemptions only for medical and religious purposes.”

Additionally, a county mandate went into effect midnight Thursday, requiring proof of at least one dose of the vaccine to enter bars, clubs, breweries, and attend events such as concerts, sporting events and theme parks. Proof of full vaccination will take effect Nov. 4, with enforcement mechanisms still not determined.

LA Sheriff Villanueva said, in a Facebook live post on Thursday, he will not enforce the mandate for his department with roughly 18,000 employees. WATCH:

(Los Angeles) […]  “No, I’m not forcing anyone,” he said in response to a question regarding whether he would enforce the mandate for his deputies. The issue has become so politicized. There are entire groups of employees that are willing to be fired and laid off for having to get vaccinated. So, I don’t want to be in a position to lose 5% or 10% of my workforce overnight over a vaccine mandate, while at the same time, I’m barebones with the funding effort. This is like the worst of two worlds right here. So we have to pick and choose.”

The issue of vaccine mandates has proved a divisive one among law enforcement agencies and fire department personnel. Last week, a Los Angeles Times report found that vaccination rates among L.A. police and fire department employees were well behind L.A. County residents. (read more)

September Jobs Report Badly Misses Expectations With 194,000 Jobs Created vs 500,000 Expected


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 8, 2021 | Sundance | 235 Comments

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has released the September jobs report [DATA HERE] showing a dismal 194,000 jobs added against a financial media and Wall Street expectation of 500,000 jobs.  [CNBC Apoplectic]   The labor participation rate in the worker economy overall has not moved since Biden’s inauguration, and stands at 61.6%.

Digging into the numbers, what is happening is exactly what we ¹should expect.  Outside the immediacy of private sector durable goods retailers seeing a pull back in consumer purchasing due to inflation (which we continue to point out is the critical issue); the local economies impacted by a declining tax base are key early indicators of contracting economic activity.  Wage gains are not keeping up with inflation.

Inside the data, you will note [Table B-1] a significant decline in Local Government Education of -144,000 jobs.  Obviously the collapse of in-school teaching leads to less jobs in this sector overall. However, the drop happened at the exact same time students were returning to a new school year, and this drop is also reflected year-over-year.  Schools were impacted by COVID in Sept 2020 more than schools are impacted by COVID in Sept 2021, yet this year the jobs are completely gone.  Something bigger is happening in this sector.

Additionally, healthcare services show a major drop in employment (-37k) specifically as it relates to elderly care and nursing homes.   All the sub-sectors of elder care are significantly lower in employment.

Retail was essentially flat (+56k) considering the scale of the sector; and durable goods within the retail sector show declines in employment.  Again this would indicate less consumer spending on durable goods, as food and energy inflation are prioritizing spending habits.  Leisure and Hospitality (+74k) with hotels and restaurants doing the majority of the hiring as the rebound in this sector continues.

[¹Here it is important to note a slow cascade effect that will take time and we are not near the peak of the trouble yet. As a historic reminder, the epicenter of the peak financial crisis (housing) was triggered in Nov/December 2005.  However, the trouble was not visible on a national scale until 2007.    Economic data shows the current triggering event took place in May/June of this year.  Make of that what you will]

(CNBC) […] The U.S. economy created jobs at a much slower-than-expected pace in September, a pessimistic sign about the state of the economy though the total was held back substantially by a sharp drop in government employment.

Nonfarm payrolls rose by just 194,000 in the month, compared with the Dow Jones estimate of 500,000, the Labor Department reported Friday. The unemployment rate fell to 4.8%, better than the expectation for 5.1% and the lowest since February 2020.

[…] “This is quite a deflating report,” said Nick Bunker, economic research director at job placement site Indeed. “This year has been one of false dawns for the labor market. Demand for workers is strong and millions of people want to return to work, but employment growth has yet to find its footing.” (read more)

[INFLATION] is terrible for wage earners in the U.S. who are now seeing no wage growth and higher prices. Real wages are decreasing by the fastest rate in decades. We are now in a downward spiral where your paycheck buys less. As a result, consumer middle-class spending contracts. Eventually, this means housing prices drop because people cannot afford higher mortgage payments.

Gasoline costs more (+50%), food costs more (+10% at a minimum) and as a result, real wages drop; disposable income is lost. Ultimately this is the cause of Stagflation. A stagnant economy and inflation. None of this is caused by COVID-19. All of this is caused by economic policy and monetary policy sold under the guise of COVID-19.

THE REAL EVENT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN – MAX IGAN


The Immigration Crisis is Intended to Change Politics Terminating Republican Opposition


Armstrong Economics Blog/Immigration Re-Posted Oct 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Biden Administration is deliberately trying to allow illegal aliens in and it is intended to grant them residency and then voting rights before the Nov 2022 election. Biden sent his proposal to Congress in January 2021 he calls the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 which includes:

  • Create an earned roadmap to citizenship for undocumented individuals. The bill allows undocumented individuals to apply for temporary legal status, with the ability to apply for green cards after five years if they pass criminal and national security background checks and pay their taxes.
  • Keep families together. 
  • Embrace diversity.  The bill includes the NO BAN Act that prohibits discrimination based on religion and limits presidential authority to issue future bans.
  • Promote immigrant and refugee integration and citizenship. 
  • Grow our economy.
  • Protect workers from exploitation and improve the employment verification process. 

It has been argued that Biden intends to grant 11 million illegal aliens citizenship to tip the balance of power to the Democrats. Some fear that this may be as much as 20 million and the Democrats hope this will end the Republican Party. I have told the story of how I was negotiating for Hong Kong to try to buy land in Australia. I met with former Prine Minister Paul Keating which was Secretary of the Treasury at the time. After much frustration of not being able to get a deal, I asked if this was a racist issue. He replied no. If he let the people from Hong Kong in they would vote conservative and change the balance of political power for he was Labour. I have first-hand knowledge of how they look at immigration solely of the political mix. This is all about wiping out Republicans and creating a welfare-dependent society that gives them the authority to oppress those who actually produce.

Biden is pushing Congress to do this ASAP. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has already ordered authorities to prioritize illegal immigrants for deportation who “pose a threat to national security, public safety, and border security” — claiming that the government does not have the resources to apprehend every person who has entered the US unlawfully. Thus, ONLY those deemed to be a threat to national security will be deported. This is an open invitation for all of South America to come to the USA and get Guaranteed Basic Income. Skills will no longer be required. Reports are that hundreds of thousands are now headed to the border. Europeans are not welcome – anyone without skills is welcome.

Soros trying to Overthrow the USA?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Police Re-Posted Oct 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

George Soros is providing money to perhaps overthrow essentially our way of life. He donated $500,000 in Austin Texas to defund the police in order to destabilize society. Why Austin Texas? It is a Republican state and the objective is to destabilize Texas with also all the illegal immigrants to flip it to Democrat. This is outright treason. Money coming from a foreign source into local elections should be prosecuted.

The objective of this entire defund the police movement is to (1) divide the United States on a class and race basis precisely as Hitler did in Germany, and (2) by defunding local police, crime will rise and people will then accept a FEDERAL police force answerable to Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden or the really the people pulling the strings.

We have a very serious political crisis. Not only are elections being stolen, but we have people deliberately trying to destabilize society turning one group against the other so everyone cries for help from Washington

WEF Announced They Won


Armstrong Economics Blog/WEF Re-Posted Aug 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Those who fail to see the truth and constantly call anyone who is anti-mask a conspiracy theorist when all studies show they are “useless” are in serious trouble. They are blind to reality which is precisely what those manipulating societies count on. They are the perfect example of Stanley Milgram’s experiments that discovered they are simply Obedient to Authority and are actually incapable of self-reflection, original thought, or actual unbiased analysis. These are the same people who stress over how many “likes” they get on social media and think the election was really between Trump v Biden.

Silently in the background, the elitist manipulators have succeeded in destroying much of the world economy. It was the bourgeoisie they wanted to destroy (middle-class small business owners), and while claiming the problem is inequality, the real objective was created only to wipe out local businesses to end driving around town to save the planet and you will buy or rent everything from the elite class. They are not concerned about “inequality” for they are creating the GREAT DIVIDE between everyone but them being relegated to what Marx called the proletariat or the universal class — the Great Unwashed. They will be very happy as they say in their predictions is we own nothing but somehow we will be happy as if we are living in the real version of Matrix which perhaps was their inspiration.

This new video from Schwab’s World Economic Forum is already declaring a partial victory showing that the objective of the virus lockdowns was really for the Great Reset and climate change agenda. Make no mistake about it; even Al Gore is on the board of the World Economic Forum. These people have conspired to change the world by crushing the economy, and the police are also so stupid to follow orders blindly. They want everyone to work from home: end offices and small businesses. You will buy everything from the giant retailers, and they will be delivered so ending the need to pollute the world by driving to the store or work.

The press, who calls this a “conspiracy theory,” is part of this agenda.

Pfizer Filed to Vaccinate Kids Over 5 Years Old Today


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Pfizer just filed today with the US corrupt Biden Administration to allow the use of its COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 5 to 11 — and if regulators agree, shots could begin by January. The rumor is that Biden will then issue an executive order that schools will be directed to vaccinate children without parental consent. Yet, he has allowed millions of unvaccinated people into the US from South America and is prepared to grant them all permanent residence and hand them welfare. By the 2022 election, he will grant them the right to vote to overturn Texas.

This is very serious. There is absolutely no data to show the long-term effects of these vaccines. Bill Gates is behind this nonsense and is an advocate for depopulating the world. Of course, they call this another “conspiracy theory” when there is a wealth of evidence that it has been his position to reduce the population. But nobody will ever investigate any of this when you buy the politicians, press, and promise BigTech control of banking with FINTECH. This is the very definition of tyranny. You really thought you were free?

Of course, it’s just another coincidence that the two senior people in charge of reviewing vaccines at the FDA quit in protest of what is taking place. Meanwhile. Sweden and Denmark paused vaccines of younger children. Scandinavia has been bucking the trend, including Norway. Are they the only countries that actually care about their people while the rest look at us as the Great Unwashed cattle or sheep?

This is not like a vaccine against measles that you need only one time. This is a vaccine that works only eight months, at best. Gates is forcing medical tyranny upon the world, and he will emerge as the richest man in the history of human civilization. He will then own all the politicians on the planet, creating one more monopoly on health, as he did with Microsoft putting any competition out of business.

This is no longer about medicine. This is political, and we are just the object to force into compliance to separate the mindless from the “troublemakers” they want to exterminate.
