…As predicted, and the ‘next step’ will be colleges, universities, students and anyone receiving federal education funding, loans or grants.
Today, the White House occupant announced a federal regulatory requirement that all nurses and healthcare workers who work in facilities funded by Medicaid and/or Medicare will be required to be vaccinated.
Ironically Joe Biden noted that nurses, those professionally trained in healthcare systems – who understand the issues of vaccination, are at a lower vaccination rate than the less trained and educated population. “Vaccination rates among nursing home staff significantly trail the rest of the country“, Biden said; while never questioning ‘why’. As pointed out recently, a large subset of the vaccine resistant population are the most educated.
[Speech Transcript] – […] “Today, I’m announcing a new step. If you work in a nursing home and serve people on Medicare or Medicaid, you will also be required to get vaccinated.
More than 130,000 residents in nursing homes have sa- — have sadly, over the period of this virus, passed away. At the same time, vaccination rates among nursing home staff significantly trail the rest of the country.” (read more)
The downstream consequence from this action will be a shortage of healthcare providers in nursing homes. This has already become an issue for hospitals coast to coast who require vaccinations of their staff. CTH has been warning about the Chicago network behind Biden and their objective. We have accurately predicted their moves, but what we cannot determine is how the larger American electorate will respond to these encroachments.
~ Written Last December ~
[December 2020] Why is COVID-19 being disproportionately hyped as such a dangerous threat, when the reality of the statistical danger is much less than the intense level of hype?… That is the key question.
The answer is… social changes under the guise of COVID-19 mitigation, are the entry point for the goals and aspirations of the political left on a national and global scale. COVID-19 is a virus, but also a very important political weapon, and we are discovering what the purpose of the hype is all about. What follows below will help understand; and when you encounter the fear it will help to reconcile/explain what people cannot figure out.
Joe Biden is an avatar; a political pawn; a cognitively declining guy who has no idea what is happening around him. The people behind Biden, those in real control of what this is about, have not hidden their goals and aspirations. These are not stupid people. They are scheming, conniving, ever-planning, ever-manipulating & Machiavellian types within the political system; lusting for power, influence and affluence.
What they are planning to do is weaponize COVID-19 to attain ideological objectives. This is why they hyped the fear within it for almost a year. Nothing within their plan requires the approval or consent of any representative body in Washington DC. COVID is the tool to “fundamentally change” the way the United States exists.
On October 23rd, 2020, those behind the Biden campaign dropped all pretense, openly having their candidate state publicly his intention to control the lives of all Americans using the authority of a weaponized federal government to advance national COVID-19 regulations.
The Dept of Transportation would be the agency enforcing a national interstate transit mask and/or vaccine requirement. However, don’t focus on the DoT part of what he was saying in 2020… that was only one creek. Instead, focus on the downstream use of all federal regulatory agencies and how they align within a Federal COVID compliance agenda… that’s the river.
Think about the Dept of Agriculture (SNAP/food stamps), the Dept. of Labor, the Dept of Education, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Dept of Labor, Dept of Energy and how they would join with the DoT to create the aggregate raging river of regulation.
Think about the federal government using mandates for enforced national COVID-19 compliance rules. Think about USDA (Dept of Agriculture) and OSHA federal inspections for social distancing, masks, vaccinations (etc) in all businesses, not just restaurants.
Think about the COVID-19 regulatory and compliance system and what political beneficiaries stand to gain.
Think about the Dept of Education using COVID to restructure the way education is taught and the downstream regulations on charter schools and non-compliant educational systems that do not meet the ideological objectives of the master control plan.
Think about how the Dept. of Labor (complaint division) can be weaponized against political opposition, based on arbitrary mask/vaccine inspections under the guise of employee health and safety…. using federal COVID compliance rules.
Think about required days off for the entire employee base if a single infection is identified in the workplace. Paid days off…. funded by Federal Government. Think about how that changes the income dependency dynamic.
Think about the larger Green New Deal (goals and objectives), and then contrast those objectives while aligning an overlay map of how federal COVID mitigation rules can be applied as a back door to the EXACT SAME objective.
Far beyond masks and even vaccines…. workspaces being forced to be redesigned. New rules on labor density. New rules on labor/manufacturing and office proximity. New rules on uniforms. New rules on hand-washing stations. New rules on sick pay, shift hours, time-off when a COVID infection is detected in the workplace.
Think about everything from rules on surfaces, to rules on packaging, to rules on ALL business operations as an outcome of federal regulatory policy under the guise of CVOID-19 mitigation. OSHA, Labor, Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Education, Housing, Health and Human Services, and even federal building permits… the entire regulatory system and compliance network.
Think about Housing and Urban Development (HUD) having new rules about dwellings and complexes for housing grants. Population density; the need to move into the suburbs and the confiscation of private property to “ensure the common safety” of the citizens.
Think about those types of business regulations applied on a National level…. and then, as seen in prior Democrat administrations with IRS etc, think about them also being enforced through the prism of political affiliation.
Think about how states that refuse to participate in the mandates will be cut off from federal grants and funding for college tuition, Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement, etc. etc.
Think about what happens to Main Street USA?
Think about companies on the NASDAQ or national companies on the stock-market?
Think about how those USA-specific federal COVID compliance regulations apply when considering U.S. business operations -vs- just taking operations overseas without those worries.
Think about who in Washington DC then takes control of what types of business interests are allowed to operation…. who determines the winning and losing.
Think about how Federal COVID-19 regulations can be used to put the multinational corporate world back (the globalists) on their former financial pathways, even without TPP and TTIP trade deals.
[Every domestic regulation weaponized against Main Street USA is a win for the Wall Street multinationals.]
Think about how much China and Europe would love to see our economy knee-capped in a Biden regulatory stranglehold; essentially achieving the same objectives as the Paris Climate Treaty.
Think long and hard about how far the tentacles of achieving the Green New Deal can extend under the auspices of federal COVID-19 mitigation.
Remember, those who are working on this don’t care about the middle-class and they have not for decades. The visibility of the ‘rust belt’ is the reference. This is about government bureaucrats using their DC power-base to control trillions in economic value, and sell their ability to influence the winners and losers to the highest foreign bidder.
Look at what blue states and federal agencies have already done to seize power and control. Now, think about that same manipulative intent spread throughout the entire country by weaponizing federal agencies with advanced COVID-enabled regulation.
That should start to frame the reference point going forward. Remember, within all totalitarian states religion is a risk… the assembly for religious worship is always considered a risk to by those who demand control over free-thought and lives.
The national legislative priority will be focused on retention of that power system by generating an entirely new form of congressional representation. New states, new senators, new election systems, and funding for the needs of the executive…. that will be the focus of the facilitating legislative branch.
Those behind the executive branch; those controlling Joe Biden; will harness and weaponize the power; a power dynamic created by fear. Meanwhile the legislative leftists will attempt to ensure the new systems they create under the guise of COVID-19 are never in a position to be withdrawn.

The U.S. Census Department releases retail sales data today showing a strong contraction in consumer spending for July [MSM LINK]. The out-of-touch financial pundits were looking for a 0.3% decline; however, the drop was four times greater with a contraction of 1.1% in spending.
“The slide in retail sales comes after Friday’s preliminary consumer sentiment report from the University of Michigan showed one of the largest drops on record, leading some strategists and economists to warn of downside risk to the sales data.” (link)
This should not be unexpected for those who read here. Massive price inflation on essential goods is eating up wages. Food, fuel and energy price increases are changing consumer spending habits. Non-essential purchases have stopped….. they haven’t slowed, they have stopped. ←Emphasize this because it is not showing up yet in the data lag.
The data reflects that auto sales were the primary contributor to the decline in spending (-4.3%). This should make sense to people because auto purchases are the largest general consumer purchase outside of home purchasing.
When purchase decisions are made by families; and food and fuel prices are skyrocketing; replacing a vehicle is not essential. Auto sales are a key indicator of consumer confidence and income.
Overall inflation is the primary driver. Real wages are declining (wages – inflation), and disposable income is dropping quickly. Americans need to start talking very deliberately about what is about to happen. CTH predicted this and has been walking through the visible outcomes as each set of new data surfaces {SEARCH BOX}. Nothing happening right now is unforeseen or not easily understandable.
There is a cascading effect that happens within the economy. Income shrinks, then spending shrinks, then employment shrinks and work hours reduce. It is an unavoidable outcome inside the middle-class economy.
Two-thirds of our national economy (GDP) is dependent on middle-class consumer spending. Any impact to that spending cornerstone triggers downstream consequences. Large ticket items (like cars) are the first to drop. [Car sales have declined 10.4% from their peak in April.] Luxury goods in general come next.
Wage-earners, families around the table, husbands and wives, start making decisions on finances based on income outlays. The roof over your head is the priority; then comes food, and the prices are rising; then gasoline, and again rising prices; finally facilitating expenses for work and school.
I said in June, at a macro level home prices had reached their peak (last two weeks of May, first two weeks of June was apex). Obviously, there are some geographic home value increases still happening as COVID related regional issues and work opportunities are shifting populations. There is also a lag and ripple effect that takes time to work through the economy. The macro-apex will not be visible until next year.
People go where the work is, and the work is in the freedom zones (red states/regions). Population shifts keep some area home prices increasing. However, on a national macro-level the apex has been reached. People cannot afford higher mortgage payments and simultaneously deal with massive inflation on essential purchases.
Economic pressure works to the benefit of the command and control authority who wish to force vaccinations upon people. The fear of losing a job becomes more of an issue for people when income security is threatened and they see food prices rising so quickly. It is unnerving, unsettling and for paycheck-to-paycheck families extremely stressful. This creates leverage for corporations to require vaccinations for employment. I wish I had the answers; alas, I do not.
Bottom line is… Depending on your personal situation, prepare yourself now for prices to continue rising on both consumable and durable goods. In the longer term, specifically due to a lack of purchasing, durable good prices will level and eventually drop. Less people buying stuff makes prices drop as competition triggers and businesses selling durable goods look to survive. Unfortunately at that point we are usually headed to a recession.
The downside for a drop in durable good purchasing is the workforce behind the manufacturing, distribution and sale of those goods are at risk of losing employment. Again, a natural outcome. For the auto-industry, and heavy industrial manufacturing, this is the time of year when retooling is taking place and some manufacturing and production lines are closed. However, when they return to production those companies might be shocked to find fewer purchase orders for the goods they produce.
Employment is currently stable (especially in the freedom zones); but we should watch for continued signs of consumer spending contraction. Any employment contraction will be made worse by the millions of illegal aliens now purposefully permitted to enter our nation.
Keep in mind, the Federal Government is pumping money into their command and control economy. This short-sighted (I would say purposeful and ideological) monetary and economic policy is contributing to massive inflation.
Inflation puts pressure on incomes and savings…. which puts demands on government to support income losses…. which leads to govt pumping more money. This is the dependency and welfare cycle that seems intentionally being deployed by Biden and the socialists behind him.
FORBES – “Consumers spent less last month than economists had expected, buying fewer things online and holding off on car purchases, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday morning, following Friday’s report of “a stunning loss of confidence”
[…]Consumers spent 1.1% less in July than June, more than the 0.3% decline economists cited by MarketWatch had been expecting, after increasing 0.7% the previous month. The decline was driven by the lack of motor vehicle sales, which fell 4.3%. Nonstore retailers, which includes online shopping, fell 3.1%” (link)

KUSI News in San Diego is reporting on significant push-back from the local community as citizens confront the County Board of Supervisors on proposals to mandate vaccination ID’s.
KUSI – […] “Hundreds of businesses have already signed a Business Equality Pledge and posted a Proclamation pledging not to discriminate. Citizens are also signing a petition to refuse to comply with these arbitrary and unconstitutional requirements. The rally attendees are not anti-vax, but they are simply against all medical mandates.
The community members and leaders were fired up, and to put it simply, directly called out the San Diego County Board of Supervisors for their overreaching rule, telling them to their face they have forgotten their oath to protect the constitution. (more)
Speech excerpts below:
Shaun Frederickson returns to speak in front of @SanDiegoCounty Board of Supervisors after his last speech gained millions of views.
"We're here to inform you the people have spoken, COVID is over. The numbers you stated are propaganda."
Brittany Mayer delivers fiery speech to the county.
"We are done, the consent of the governed is removed. We will not comply. We do not consent. @Nathan_Fletcher you are on notice. We will constitutionally remove all petty tyrants beginning now."
A registered nurse who resigned from her job over mandatory vaccine requirement.
"I was no problem working in the healthcare system over the last 18 months, without a vaccine, but now, all of a sudden, I'm a threat to public health?"

Big Apple comrades, CONGRATULATIONS, the New York City requirement to show your vaccine papers begins today. Those who violate the requirement, or those who give false papers in order to participate in polite society, will be given a $1,000 fine for the first offense; $2,000 for the second non-compliant occurrence, and all subsequent infractions will cost $5,000.
Your proof of vaccination status will grant you access to indoor dining, fitness clubs and shows at indoor entertainment venues, including night clubs, concert halls, movie theaters and adult entertainment. If you wish to enter any of the following business sectors (listed below), both NYC residents and visitors will be required to show their vaccination identification or vaccine passport:
The ministry of COVID compliance has been kind enough to provide one month of “social training” between when venues must require proof of vaccine from patrons (today) and when Comrade de Blasio has instructed the ministry to begin enforcement (mid-Sept). This grace period for social training is provided by the magnanimity of Dear Leader highlighting his compassion and understanding as these private venues get used to the system.
During this first month, the Ministry of COVID compliance will educate businesses in best practices for how to demand the vaccination papers Dear Leader de Blasio previously announced.
The concerns about bribes and enforcement avoidance schemes related to a black-market underground of services for dissident citizens is being addressed. One possible solution under consideration could be the hiring of a private security force; contracted to patrol identified ‘at risk‘ non-compliance zones and funded by the previously mentioned fines and enforcement payments. This approach would avoid the need for budget expenditures.
Regardless of current disposition, please be assured the municipal COVID authorities will not initially permit security forces to use their batons or physical restraints as a compliance tool until mid September. However, after mid-September it can be anticipated the tender generosity of the Ministry will expire.
Your digital passport may also provide enhanced benefits and location tracking for your family and friends. The technology is fluid and being explored. The initial cell phone app will not automatically sync with your cell-phone contacts. However, as the system of contact tracing and monitoring is enhanced, the Ministry may provide you with an opportunity to opt-in for access to the central geolocation database where you can monitor your family and friends for social compliance.
Dear Leader looks forward to enhanced cooperation between the citizens and the regulatory/compliance offices. The Ministry also appreciates any tips identifying non compliant behavior by your friends, co-workers or family. Your vigilance will provide the opportunity for education and support toward a more compliant social network.
Happy Landings!Joe Biden continues to lose his grip on an ill-gotten office. He needs to be impeached. He needs to be removed via the 25th Amendment. He needs to step down. Maybe all three.Less than a year into his regime, Joe’s cognitive state continues to show a precipitous decline. He is often lost and confused. He cannot field questions. He’s frequently and inexplicably angry or whispering. He displays all the characteristics of someone suffering from dementia. The problem is, cackling Kamala Harris would present a horrific replacement.Ideally President Trump will be rightfully restored to office. The election was stolen from him. It’s time for Joe to exit stage left before he commits more terrible blunders such as the one we just saw in Afghanistan.Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Sleepy Joe has got to go!—Ben Garrison
Now that the Afghan government has fallen, I believe I am free to talk about what I do know. I met with the government on neutral ground in Thailand. I was invited to give lectures there but just never found the time to make that trip. As I have said before, most governments have heard of Socrates. After all, it has been putting out economic and geopolitical forecasts since 1977. From my discussions with them in Thailand, what I can say is that the Taliban are largely self-funded, yet have been warmly protected by Pakistan which is the ONLY nuclear nation in that region. Pakistan has supported the Taliban, not for religious agreement, but because of their enemy, the Afghans, we friends with Pakistan’s enemy India. In that sense, there is a deep-seated religious conflict that goes back to the creation of Pakistan in 1947.
The peak in our model on the region took place in 2019 when any hope of some sort of peace treaty with the Taliban collapsed. Military operations between Afghan and US government forces and the Taliban then intensified in 2019 resulting in more than 8,000 civilian casualties. That was precisely on target being 72 years from 1947 which was the real period of the rise in militant Islam. A standard 2-year reaction was in play which has brought us to this point in 2021. But this is the start of a 13-year cycle of rising tensions which will also peak in 2032.
Pakistan is aligned with China and the idea has been that China will invest in Afghanistan and that may help to satisfy the Taliban. But that is perhaps wishful thinking. Religiously, they are more akin to Iran. Nevertheless, the Taliban has been a movement of religious students (talib) from the Pashtun areas of eastern and southern Afghanistan. They were actually educated in traditional Islamic schools in Pakistan. Keep in mind that Pakistan can be very authoritarian. Pakistan is blocking cell phones to compel people to be vaccinated.
The Taliban control the largest opium production in the world and have been the #1 exporter. This has been their primary source of funding. Back in 2000, they were against drugs. But they needed the support of the farmers and flipped their ethical view that they were exporting opium to the enemy so that made it ethical.
Some believe that they were also bribing some public officials to look the other way. For most of the last 20 years, the Taliban have been in the drug trade. However, that has not been their own source of funds. They also get money from mining, real estate, and unnamed regional benefactors who lead back to Iran. Nevertheless, the Taliban is a well-funded organization, and they are primarily a self-sustaining group that can be sustained domestically. They have imposed their own tax regime known as ‘ushr,’ which is a 10% tax on income and 2.5% wealth tax.
Believe it or not, the Taliban have stolen weapons that were given to the army and police forces by the United States. Some believe they bribed people for that access. They have stormed the government offices and arrested officials and killed many. They have stormed the prisons, releasing everyone, and seized all the American weapons provided to the government. However, sources were also saying that the Taliban were also getting weapons “donated” to them from Iran with its proxy war against the United States. Additionally, there were claims that weapons were also being smuggled in from Russia via Tajikistan.
Biden’s performance and the inability of the Biden Administration to manage a bubblegum machine is what our models have been warning. The West has used COVID to try to change the economy, but this Great Reset actually destroying jobs and small businesses (middle class) while favoring the big elite companies, which is why Big Tech supports the Great Reset. The problem with this stupid move has been that this is precisely what you DO NOT do. The US Civil War was won by the north because it was the industrial backbone. The south was getting funding from adversaries, but they were predominantly just agrarian. The victor belongs to the stronger economy.
Rome fell during the 3rd century BECAUSE its economy was weakened. Once the emperor Valerian I (253-260 AD) was captured by the Persians in 260 AD, this signaled to all the Barbarian tribes in the north that Rome was vulnerable. They began an assault that even forced Rome to build a defensive wall around the city when Aurelian (270-275 AD) came to power in 270 AD. Within just 10 years of Valerian’s capture, Rome itself was vulnerable to the invasion of Germanic tribes.
Anyone who has been to Rome will see the spectacular Aurelian Wall that still stands to this day. It is a reminder of what happens when an empire becomes weak from within. That is when it is time to invade. You would think that this should be a lesson taught to world leaders. Oh, I forgot. There are no classes on how to be a world leader. There are no professional requirements to run a country. That is our real problem.
The capture of Valerian in 260 AD also led to the separatist movement where Britain, Gaul (France), and Spain broke from the Roman Empire and began the Gallic Empire with their own Emperor Postumus. Here is a silver coin of Postumus and we can see the propaganda. The reverse clearly read that he is the restorer of Gaul. He would not have issued such a coin and the Western part of Europe would not have split from Rome unless they saw that Rome was incapable of defending them or managing anything.
History WARNS that this drive to change the economy has weakened the economies of the West and has left Europe especially defenseless. NATO has become a joke. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has succeeded Ursula von der Leyen, who was elected as the new head of the European Commission. So Ursula von der Leyen, who was also a board member of the World Economic Forum, was in charge of the defense of Germany and now she is the head of the EU. She has no qualifications for either position. The West is all about diversity and symbolize — not qualification.
The vast amount of people will line up to surrender all their constitutional and human rights and those of the family for decades to come simply on the world of those in power. The FIRST thing people must realize is that the top “public servants” view that title the same way insurance companies call DEATH INSURANCE the opposite LIFE INSURANCE. Everything else is named for the threat from fire, accident and theft. They could not sell DEATH insurance because people thought they were not ready to die and it would be bad luck so they flipped the name to LIFE and people lined up to buy it. The real view from above is not that they “serve” the public, but we are just stupid sheep to obey the politicians and hence we “serve” them.
All the conspiracy theories are coming true. They have been letting them out one drop at a time. That way you will never notice the big picture until it is too late. The CDC has now formally snuck in that they can create internment camps. Note the shift from you have COVID to you are simply now at “HIGH RISK” for them to determine. That can include fully vaccinated because now the variants are proving to be resistant to the vaccine, but it can also mean all the unvaccinated. The CDC states:
“The shielding approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.”
Little by little they are doing away with democracy. Was the election rigged? Absolutely. This is a global agenda and I fear that Lindell was pointed in the wrong direction of China which was to divert any claims of rigging the election from the real sources behind the curtain. Lindell was correct about one thing. The attempts to rig election began before 2020.

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann gave an insightful interview earlier on Tuesday.
Within the interview Senator Fann is asked what is her sense of why Maricopa County has been fighting against the audit? As noted by Fann she suspects the legal team advising the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors was likely fearful of what might be discovered if a full forensic audit was completed.
COMMENT: I just sold all of my shares of Tyson Foods after learning that they had mandated the Covid19 vaccine for all of their employees. Regardless of how you feel about the vaccine, I think that this decision shows a complete lack of good judgement on the part of Tyson’s management. While the vaccine’s manufacturers are immune from prosecution, I don’t believe that this protection extends to employers who mandate inoculation. What if the predictions of serious long term side effects are correct? Tyson and others who have taken this action are going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars and many years in court. I don’t want to own shares in any company that’s run by short sighted people like these! KG
REPLY: I agree that any company that is imposing fines or mandates for this vaccine is simply jumping on board as a “ME TOO” without any consideration for the employees. There are many for have serious side-effects in addition to those who actually die.
They obviously do not do any independent analysis and that is a serious issue if this is the way the management looks at the economy. They are simply listening to the likes of Fauci which is not the way you run a company just listening to the government and goose-step as directed.
I am getting a lot of email on this subject. To what extent this has any impact we will see. But I believe the real elephant in the room is simply that the whole story that once the entire world is vaccinated, we will eradicate COVID and get back to normal. That is simply never going to happen. That was possible with Smallpox ONLY because it was not coming from animals and only effected humans. Its origin is still not known today. COVID is a respiratory virus which was the entire purpose of gain-of-function manipulation. That bluntly means it cannot be eradicated and it will most likely now appear annually. So the $64 billion question is simple:
What will the market do when they realize the vaccine are not the answer and there will never be a return to NORMAL without government admitting what they have been doing will NEVER work and was wrong.
