Sketchy Economic Data About to Surface, White House Proactively Seeds MSM Narrative


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 31, 2022 | Sundance | 198 Comments

For those who have been following closely, the economic data releases over the past several months have been almost impossible to reconcile from a Main Street perspective.  Additionally, the scale of inflation is skewing everything that stems from dollar valuation.

CTH is certain the fourth quarter GDP statistic (+6.9%) is useless and was an outcome of several flawed metrics: (1) the import data was misrepresented and not accurately deducted (supply chain issue); (2) the value of building inventories was over calculated as an outcome of inflation; and (3) the value of all economic activity was subsequently skewed because the economic outputs (goods and services) were recorded at higher prices.

It has been our estimation that Main Street economic activity was substantially less than the data discussed by financial pundits.

Our review also sees the employment situation on Main Street as considerably less optimistic than claimed.  Bolstering that point, in a very weird and structured preview from the White House, spokesperson Jen Psaki made an odd statement today.  WATCH (14:35 prompted):

Psaki is prepositioning a narrative that employment data in January will be lower than expectations, perhaps considerably lower, as a result of “workers calling out sick” from COVID, ie. the omicron variant, during the time when employment polling was conducted.  That is a very unusual proactive narrative.

Those talking points would not get into the briefing material if there wasn’t a person highly concerned in the economic circle to put them there.  Quite frankly, this is a talking point the White House spokesperson would never have in their briefing book if there wasn’t an advanced notification of their need for it.

Someone knows something.

Given the nature of how heavily manipulated the government institutions are, there’s a strong likelihood the Bureau of Labor and Statistics have been surprised by their employment polling results.  That internal tremor, a concern amid the political tribe, is then conveyed to someone, who then relays the warning to the White House economic team…. and that’s how Psaki gets the briefing material.

In the background of this unusually proactive economic and employment notation, the Atlanta FED recently released their forward-looking estimation [DATA HERE] of the first quarter GDP.  Keeping in mind the official 4th quarter result was +6.9%, the Atlanta Fed is saying the first quarter of 2022 looks like 0.1%.

[DATA SOURCE – Graphic Source]

The economy of the United States doesn’t go, heck, cannot go, from 7% to ZERO in one quarter without some massive dynamic, like closing down the economy…..

Unless….

Unless, the 6.9% was manufactured horsepucky from the outset.

The economy doesn’t go from 6.9% growth in December to ZERO growth a few days later without something substantive happening in the background.  My guess is the inventory buildup, cited by the Bureau of Economic Analysis in December, was the result of a massive drop in demand that took place in the three previous months.

The inventory and inflation driven inventory evaluation that helped inflate the metric of the Gross Domestic Product, was not the result of the supply chain coming back to normal.  I will bet a donut the inventory buildup was specifically because demand collapsed.

My view of that situation is supported by the historic drop in productivity that was noted in the last half of 2021.  The federal spending, and the federal subsidies for businesses and corporations to retain employees, ran past the period where payrolls would have naturally contracted due to the drop in demand.

If I am correct, the employment situation was artificially influenced, because interventionist COVID spending/bailouts allowed payrolls to be covered, and employees to remain on the payroll register, during a time when they should have been dropped if natural sales/profits were responsible for filling the payroll accounts of companies.  This would explain the macro drop in productivity while macro employment was retained.

The natural outcome of that viewpoint is….  When the federal deposits into the private sector payroll accounts dry up, employers eventually drop employees.

That rather dramatic scenario is enough to trigger the BLS to freak out when they did the payroll polling.

Just a hunch…  We’ll find out on Friday.

Biden Violates His Own Agenda & the Constitution


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 31, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Biden is saying he will only appoint a Black Woman to the Supreme Court if actually violating the law and all judges could file a class-action lawsuit for violating their Civil Rights. Congress has enacted a variety of laws prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information in the federal sector. The definition will be found in 42 U.S. Code § 2000e. In fact, since Biden is openly discriminating against everyone else other than a black woman, he could be criminally charged under Title 18, U.S.C., §241/242 – Conspiracy Against Rights. This statute makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory, or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Biden legally could face 10 years in prison, but the DOJ would never do such a thing.

Trump nominated Ada E. Brown, a Black Woman, for the Supreme Court and 13 Democrats blocked her nominations. Suddenly, diversity didn’t mean anything. Simply that she was nominated by Trump was all that mattered. Justice Barret, who the Democrats hated, refused to block a plan by Indiana University to require students and employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19. It does NOT matter who appoints justices. They do NOT always vote on party lines as is the case on Capitol Hill.

In this WOKE environment, the question then arises, does that mean that Attorney General Merrick B. Garland can declare that he identifies as a Black Woman and that means he should be qualified for the Job?

Of course, there are rumors that Biden can nominate Harris and get her off the disastrous ticket that he thinks he will round in 2024. According to the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, if the vice president for whatever reason vacates the office, the president has the power to appoint a new vice president subject to the approval of both houses of Congress. If both the president and the vice president die, the speaker of the house becomes president, according to the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. He could appoint Willard Mitt Romney as Vice President who is Republican who votes Democrat and hated Trump. Romey would jump at the chance since he failed in his bid against Obama. Then Biden can pretend he has a balanced ticket and Romey can accelerate the downfall of the United States alongside Kerry since he also thinks humans are causing all the climate issues.

Let me make one thing very clear. Biden is engaging in racial profiling. I have pointed out that this is all nonsense. Chief Justice Roberts was appointed by Republicans but he is the one that upheld Obamacare. Black judges are most likely to be harder on blacks than white judges. The reason, is they know they cannot be accused of being racist and they will more often look upon such black defendants as giving all blacks a bad image. The white judge will keep in mind the race card and will fear being called racist. This is standard in New York City federal court.

The Interview That Killed the Anti-Work Movement


Armstrong Economics Blog/Basic Concepts Re-Posted Jan 31, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The massive anti-work movement sparked by the popular subreddit imploded after Jesse Watters from Fox News interviewed a moderator named Doreen. Doreen destroyed the movement without any interrogation from Watters, as they simply did not prepare for the interview. Recorded from a stereotypical basement, Doreen stated during the interview that “laziness is a virtue.” The 30-year-old dog walker spends around 20-25 hours a week working, but would like fewer work hours.

The subreddit is in a panic. People are unsubscribing, moderators are leaving, and Doreen’s dark past of sexual assault has surfaced. One user posted a guide to understanding basic public relations and how to talk during an interview. Worker’s reform is one topic. For example, Amazon employees should not be forced to use water bottles for bathroom breaks and people should not need three jobs to survive. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. However, the illusion that society could function if no one worked has been dismantled.

The wealth of a nation is the total productivity of its people. If I have gold and want you to fix my house, I give you the gold for your labor. Thus, your wealth is your labor, and the gold is merely a medium of exchange. So it does not matter whatever the medium of exchange might be. You will give your labor, provided you know someone else will accept the medium of exchange from you in purchasing something else. It is the labor of the people and their productive capacity that creates the wealth of any nation.

Karl Marx viewed labor as exploitive and a constant class struggle that was as black and white as rich v poor. Marx never credited innovators who, in turn, create jobs with their ideas. Adam Smith, on the other hand, saw that eliminating innovation by redistributing confiscated wealth would ruin the economy. Smith’s concept of the invisible hand sees everyone as acting in their own self-interest, which proves beneficial for the free market economy at large.

The GOP May Impeach Biden If They Win Back the House


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 31, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

New York Republican lawmakers Nicole Malliotakis and Claudia Tenney are calling for Biden’s impeachment after it was revealed he has been illegally smuggling migrants into the country. Malliotakis noted that aiding and abetting illegal immigration violates the law. “And you have it coming from the president of the United States. It is completely unacceptable. The Supreme Court ruled that he had to reinstate Remain in Mexico and he’s clearly not done that,” Malliotakis said.

“His primary obligation as the commander in chief and the president of the United States is to enforce our laws, live up to his oath, enforce our border security. And also tell the truth to the American people,” Malliotakis stated. Since Biden is likely funneling aliens into our country for political gain, then the charges should be more significant.

Ted Cruz has previously stated that the GOP would push to remove Biden from office if they win back the house during the midterm elections. “Probably the most compelling is the utter lawlessness of President Biden’s refusal to enforce the border. His decision to just defy federal immigration laws and allow 2 million people to come here unimpeded in direct contravention of his obligation under Article 2 of the Constitution to take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” Cruz said. “That is probably the strongest grounds right now for impeachment, but there may be others.”

Everyone involved in this operation should be removed from their office and barred from holding any office in the future. There is no conspiracy. Images and video footage of illegal migrants being flown in under the veil of night are spreading around the internet like wildfire. The Biden Administration has failed to protect our borders and is attempting to rig the next election through their illegal activities.

CONFIDENCE v Fiat


Armstrong Economics Blog/America’s Economic History Re-Posted Jan 31, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:  Dear Mr. Armstrong
You have to ask yourself the question..how have most fiat currencies ended?
The answer is simply, how you HAVE to prepare yourself for the endgame, irrelevant of WHEN it may occur, the time to prepare is always yesterday, but if yesterday is too late, today shall be also a good time.
Centre of field preparation for the end of a fiat currency, should be our only aim. The rest is all left of field play.
Playing the Endgame may be the only way to survive what is dead ahead.
Unfortunately, it has to occur, political/ social pressure shall ensure this. The Elite gave been well aware of this endgame since the inception of The Keynesian Model and have been acutely aware for at least a decade.
Kind regards GH

REPLY: I have been in countless meetings
They did not know how this would end. They always assumed they had the power to endure
Only now is the handwriting on the wall
It has nothing to do with fiat currency.
Rome fell as well.
It is fiscal mismanagement regard of what you call money at that time. But the real factor was the collapse in CONFIDENCE after Valerian I was captured by the Persians, turned into a royal slave4, and then stuffed as a trophy when he died. We have Biden and he is no more the leader of the free world, but the laughing stock of world leaders. As the CONFIDENCE in the Biden Administration collapses as he has already surrendered to Ukraine to Putin.

So it has NEVER been what is money. For even when the money is precious metals, the Silver Democrats overvalued silver which led to gold fleeing the country and JP Morgan had to bail out the country in 1896 with a gold loan thanks to the Democrats taking bribes from the silver miners to overvalue silver. The US was drowning in silver.

Remember William Jennings Bryan’s famous speech against the gold standard?

Bryan-CrossOfGold

Of course, it was the silver to the gold ratio that became the presidential election topic in 1896 and virtually bankrupted the country because the government by decree overvalued silver at 16:1 It was the fiscal mismanagement and the currency was precious metals.

Military Database Shows Alarming Increase in Adverse Medical Conditions After Forced COVID Vaccination


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 30, 2022 | Sundance | 393 Comments

During testimony last week, attorney Thomas Renz gave testimony {Direct Rumble Link} on behalf of whistleblowers inside the military medical system who have access to vaccination data that is withheld from the general public.

The data on adverse medical conditions that surface after vaccination within the military is contained on a system called the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED).  The documents that were released to Thomas Renz are now being reviewed {Direct Rumble Link}.  The resulting information is very disturbing.  WATCH:

The research took five-year averages of medical conditions and then compared the track record to the results after the mandatory military vaccination program was initiated.  The results are alarming:

Heart Attacks +269%
Pericarditis +175%
Myocarditis +285%
Pulmonary Embolisms +467%
Cerebral Infarction +393%
Bell’s Palsy +319%
Guillain-Barre +250%
Immunodeficiencies +275%
Menstrual Irregularity +476%
Multiple Sclerosis +487%
Miscarriage +306%
HIV +590%
Chest Pain +1,529%
Labored Breathing +905%

Sunday Talks, Lindsey Graham Goes Full Color Revolution, Supports Race-Based Political Judges, Unilateral War Against Putin and J6 Targeting


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 30, 2022 | Sundance | 341 Comments

Senator Lindsey Graham is the male version of Hillary Clinton, complete with purple tie uniform today.  In this interview the full DeceptiCon Senator Graham is on display; remarkably so.  For this exhibition CBS’ Margaret Brennan plays the role of Sean Hannity.

Senator Graham starts by showcasing his support for the Biden gender and skin color rules for a black, female nominee to the Supreme Court.  The South Carolina senator then proposes a war with Russia using Ukraine regardless of whether Ukraine or any other European country supports it.  Finishing off the agenda of the deep swamp, Graham proclaims his support for the indefinite detention of J6 protestors who he said, “deserve to have the book thrown at them.”

2,000 Mules, The Background of the 2020 Election Fraud


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 30, 2022 | Sundance | 360 Comments

CTH continues to be cautious with measured expectations around this story, because a thoroughly corrupt and politically compromised DOJ has possessed all of this information for almost a year. {GO DEEP} There will be a response.  Likely a massive, coordinated and weaponized response from the totality of the most politically corrupt DC system in our nation’s history, every branch, and their aligned ideologues outside government.

First, the preview {Direct Rumble Link}:

.

No one wants to join Michael Hastings, and yet that is the scale and scope of the risk inherent within this story.  The good news is that more Americans are awake to the issues now than ever existed.  We have Donald J. Trump to thank for that.

Catherine Engelbrecht is a genuine national hero, and her organization True The Vote (TTV) will be known in history long after these decades are passed.  Long-term readers of CTH also know we fully support Englebrecht and her team, we always have.

September 2021 – What people call “ballot traffickers” are actually ballot “mules.”   Most of the information in the previous Breitbart article about this issue is accurate [SEE HERE].  CTH shared some information in June 2021 about this investigative effort [SEE HERE].  However, I am 100% certain the DOJ and Attorney General Merrick Garland are waiting to see what is done with this evidence before they focus their targeting.

We know, to a demonstrable certainty, the political network of the Lawfare crew is also on standby against this election investigation, as well as major DNC legal operative Marc Elias who recently left Perkins Coie to set up his own shop specifically to work on this issue.  Elias took 13 lawyers and ten partners to his new firm.   That puts the DOJ, Lawfare and Elias’s new team all in alignment against Englebrecht, True the Vote and the American people.  Now, do you sense the scale of risk in this story?

[CTH JUNE 2021] – The next war will not come from foreign soil.  It is about to happen based on a great awakening in the heavily corrupt and manipulated voting system in the United States. The battle is about to happen right here on our soil.

BIG PICTURE – United States Attorney General Merrick Garland is pre-positioning assets from the DOJ and FBI [LINK]. Simultaneous to this, the U.S. military leadership is purging patriots and putting all service members under surveillance [LINK]. These two factual events are directly related.

In the background of these maneuvers, Big Tech and Corporate Media have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative, and any truth-tellers are considered subversive and against the interests of the U.S. government. The January 6th DC protest is being used as evidence for that narrative. Deplatforming, censorship and ultimately control of voices who would warn of the larger issues continues daily.

POINT ONE – Even before the November 2020 election, there were groups of patriots who knew mail-in ballots were a tool toward an objective – the 2020 Presidential election. Anyone with a lick of common sense, and the vast majority of readers right here on this website, knew that deployment of mail-in ballots was going to be the largest unknown variable in the 2020 election. The DC-based apparatus was all in. 2020 was the big one.

POINT TWO – There is data, massive publicly available geolocation data, available for purchase. As you know, data is the currency of the Deep State (U.S. Intel Community); however, insofar as the intel community uses federal authority to control data (at taxpayer expense), there is also a massive amount of data in the hands of private groups and individuals that can be legally purchased.

As a consumer, you know your cell phone data is used by private industry commercially to sell you stuff and provide services. That is one type of data that is available for commercial purchase. The feds have access to that type of data at their fingertips, and indeed they use it often illegally to circumvent fourth amendment protections. But that type of data is also available for purchase; the issue is the cost. Big Data requires a lot of money to purchase, and then even more money to create the technological systems to use the data effectively.

♦ Put the two points above together, and citizen led patriot groups have purchased big data to analyze the 2020 election. These projects, and there are several, have been ongoing for quite a while. As you know from our own crowdsourcing research in the past, you can easily tear apart large stories by focusing on the granular evidence that is available in the public sphere.

The result of that crowdsourcing research is incredibly accurate, because it is not based on supposition, it is based on empirical data points. Photographs, maps, camera shots, CCTV images, spatial and time patterns, geolocation, flight patterns, airline tracking, and even star patterns at night have been used by hobbyist puzzle solvers and citizen researchers to crowdsource information of interest. CTH has taken apart several falsely framed investigative narratives (Trayvon, Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, RNC roadmap etc) with focused crowdsourcing research. Heck, even 4Chan folks were having fun finding Shia LaBeouf’s “he will not divide us’ flag despite him hiding it in the middle of nowhere.

The major point is with the internet at our fingers, and enough data available for review, just about anything can be deeply researched, and then subject matter experts can guide the analysis and result…with stunning accuracy.

You have likely seen the same type of crowdsourcing research being taken with the 2020 election data. The same type of statistical and analytical methodology on voting patterns at a macro and micro level. Additionally, some groups, some very smart groups that have been in the business of voter integrity for a long time, have also been reviewing massive data purchased in the wake of the 2020 election.

There are seven targeted voter regions where similar ballot issues and statistical impossibilities have been identified nationwide: Fulton County, Georgia; Wayne County, Michigan; Maricopa County, Arizona; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Clark County, Nevada; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Madison, Wisconsin.

The 2,000 ballot mules were paid by dark money interests that included the DNC and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

In the late spring of 2021, Federal law enforcement agencies were informed about some of the results from geolocation of cell phone data surrounding “drop boxes” used to collect voter ballots. Essentially, a mapping of specific cell phones which identifies their group association and outlines their activity in multiple states. The data is the data and cannot be refuted.

Instead of moving toward investigation and the administration of election laws, the United States Dept of Justice immediately transmitted the identified evidence of election fraud to their political allies who were involved in the 2020 election fraud.  All moves from that moment forward were a deployment of assets against public awareness.

All of the proactive moves, by AG Merrick Garland and DAG Lisa Monaco (executive branch), have been coordinated with Nancy Pelosi and her J6 effort (legislative branch), with the intelligence apparatus within government, and with allies outside government in Lawfare and the DNC.

While the U.S. Dept of Justice assembled their election exposure defenses and counterattack, a deliberate effort to cover up the election fraud, the private sector investigation into that fraud continued.

Very specific data-maps in key precincts were cross referenced with public audits.  The cell phone travel of these organized ballot mules creates a map of their activity.  Additionally, many of ballot collection sites have CCTV systems; some CCTV operations were actually mandated by legislation that authorized the collection drop-off locations. It is not coincidental that public records requests for those CCTV recordings were met with hostile denials and efforts to stall production.

CTH anticipates a massive amount of pushback from the U.S. Department of Justice based solely on the findings of cell phone data that has tracked “ballot mules” via geolocation and mapping. These are ground level activists that appear to have been part of a coordinated effort to collect ballots, walk them through a process, where they were filled out in a single location, and then dropped off at collection and tabulation sites.

The bottom line is this…. AG Merrick Garland knows a powder keg could explode as soon as the majority of American people discover just how manipulated the election of 2020 was. His previous announcements to double the staff of the DOJ Civil Rights Division voter unit was not to protect election integrity, but rather to position his resources for a war against a looming storm of election review outcomes.

The deep and irrefutable research was taking place, mostly very quietly, in the background. I expect the government response to the final assembly of findings will be a combination of the DOJ/FBI “domestic extremist” narratives, combined with racism accusations, claims of election disinformation and eventually the full weaponized deployment of the DOJ and FBI against the teams who put it together.

The Alinsky model: Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize your political opposition, in combination with the use of arrests and threats by the justice department.  [LINK 6/14/20] …Or, they could simply use the approach they deployed against Michael Hastings.

ABC Poll Shows How Out of Touch White House Is From, Well, Everyone


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 30, 2022 | Sundance | 250 Comments

The installed regime of Joe Biden is a joke to the world, and the only people continuing their efforts to prop up the Potemkin village are the irrelevant U.S. media.

Despite their earnest efforts, even the George Stephanopolouses of the world cannot avoid the responses from Americans.  The latest ABC/IPSOS poll [Raw Data Here], which is again a highly skewed effort, shows just how out of touch the policies of the regime are to the domestic audience.

When asked about Biden’s handling of immigration, 64% disapprove and 34% approve.  The open border policy doesn’t have support, even amid the constituencies the regime claims to control.

When asked about Biden’s handling of the economy, 56% disapprove, 40% approve.  Massive inflation created by chasing the unicorn of climate change is hitting everyone hard.  Gas prices, home heating costs, energy costs overall and skyrocketing food inflation prices are a reality that no amount of spin from the stenographers can hide.

When asked about inflation specifically, 69% disapprove and only 29% approve.  Policies have consequences.  As noted by ABC, “Troublingly for the White House, only 1% of Americans view the state of the nation’s economy as “excellent,” and only 23% say it’s “good.” Three out of four Americans said the state of the economy was “not so good / poor.”

When asked about Biden’s handling of crime, 64% disapprove and 34% approve.  Yes, radical efforts to defund the police and undermining law enforcement have consequences.

When asked about Biden’s effort to use Ukraine for a war against Russia, 56% disapprove and 41% approve.  Sending troops into Ukraine has 29% support.  However, don’t expect that result to slow down the Fourth Branch of Government from having their war.

When asked if Joe Biden should maintain his race-based policy and nominate a black woman to the supreme court, only 23% of the respondents say that’s a good idea.  The overwhelming majority, 76% of the country, say the best candidate should be chosen regardless of their race or gender.  Apparently, the American people are not blind to the damage from hardline leftist ideology.

(Via ABC) […] “The ABC News/Ipsos poll, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, comes days after the most senior member of the Supreme Court, Justice Stephen G. Breyer, announced his retirement at the end of the current term. Breyer’s announcement provides Biden the opportunity to change the demographic makeup of the conservative-leaning bench.” (link)  

Lt. Col Whistleblower Provides Testimony—the COVID-19 Vaccines are More Dangerous to the Armed Services than the Virus in her Opinion


Posted originally on TrialSite News by Staff on December 18, 2021

Lt. Col Whistleblower Provides Testimony—the COVID-19 Vaccines are More Dangerous to the Armed Services than the Virus in her Opinion

Army Lt. Colonel Theresa Long discusses adverse reactions and the Nuremberg Code. Theresa Long is an Army Aerospace Medicine Specialist. Recently, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson invited the officer to make a statement in regards to what she considers a life-endangering COVID-19 vaccination program. That’s because the Lt. Col believes the adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines are being underreported. Her opinion arises from a combination of medical education, training, and firsthand experience treating soldiers. The Lt. Col shared that this was her own opinion and not that of the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense (DoD), or any other relevant entity. Made as a “protected communication” under the Military Whistleblower Protection Act title 10 USC 1034, Long believes the COVID-19 vaccine program represents an unprecedented threat to U.S. military readiness—even more of a threat than COVID-19 itself. Could this be true?

Over 200,000 military personnel have rejected the COVID-19 vaccination, yet the U.S. military will commence repercussions leading to what Lt. Col Long declared is to the detriment of “morale and readiness” as they [the soldiers] will be “processed” out of the service. Now 200,000 soldiers is a lot. In fact, Lt. Col Long declared that not in any theater of war has the U.S. lost so many soldiers in just a few months. 

Long declared, “Taking soldiers out of uniform has the same impact on readiness as losing them on the battlefield.” Offering her personal background and credentials, including a Master’s in Public Health,  Lt. Col Long went on to remind everyone she spent the last three decades serving the country.

In front of superiors, Long, a critical thinker questioned the vaccine program early on. She stated, that significant amounts of time in the clinical trials process was skipped. With only 12 active soldiers lost to COVID, Long declared, “yet we are going to risk the health of the entire fighting force on a vaccine we only had two months of safety data on.” The response from her superiors: “Your damn right, Colonel. And you are going to get every soldier you can get to take the vaccine so I can get enough data points to determine if the vaccine is safe.”Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “COVID-19” ChannelNo spam – we promise

Of course, this raises the specter that enlisted military personnel were considered guinea pigs, as the safety was supposedly already established. TrialSites’ Sonia Elijah’s analysis of some of the disclosed Pfizer safety documents raises more questions than it answers about actual vaccine safety.

Long continues that service members are “national treasures,” as they have had to “stare down bullets,” and deal with exposure and damages from IEDs, bomb blasts, and “thankless and protracted wars.”

Now, those that opt to not receive the vaccine, for whatever reason, will be processed out of the military. Listen to the whistleblower’s story. She doesn’t seem to be a right-wing conspiratorial loon or fringe personality. A woman who grew up in a tough spot, who joined the military at 17, and because of the Armed Services has grown into an officer, living what she calls the “American Dream.”

Based on Long’s testimony, if true, the prospect of a mass research program—funded and directed by the U.S. government, comes into focus. That is, the COVID-19 response was orchestrated as a mass research endeavor that violated (and continues to do so from this point of view) long-standing ethical principles, including the Declaration of Helsinki

TrialSite suggests a lot of fast, unfolding dynamics make this situation difficult to categorize as “one thing” bad or good in terms of the myriad of interests associated with pandemic response. We suspect both good and not good intentions become entangled in what becomes an even bigger, more convoluted mess due mostly to governing reactions, both under the Trump Administration and under the current Biden regime.

The pandemic response incompetence runs through both administrations as Trump withheld vital information early on (see Woodward interview), which led to a popular cult of viral denial which we continue to struggle with. Many people continue to walk around thinking this pandemic is over,” said Daniel O’Connor, founder of TrialSite. He continued, “In fact, this mass contagion continues on and will do so for the indefinite future, and people must protect themselves, and that can range from risk-based approaches to mass vaccination [e.g., elderly, those with co-morbidities, etc.], early treatment, and careful social practices.” O’Connor suggested, however, due to severe pandemic politicization and misinformation from all sides, including ongoing unprecedented censorship, “really ugly politics could evolve.” For example, basic concepts such as natural immunity were not rigorously studied by the U.S. government early on. There was seemingly a bias toward one “cure.” This impulse led to what amounted to a massive government-sponsored research program marketed as a sure thing.

Trump violated all sorts of norms, promoting various experimental approaches without any filter. Moreover, he can take accountability for the massive financial handout to pharma companies over the use of early-treatment options—that occurred under his watch—his accountability, in addition of course, to marketing these vaccines as “miracles” or gifts from “above.” 

Rather, a sober, pragmatic, and honest government communication campaign should have commenced from the start. That is, that the vaccines would not cure COVID-19, such a volatile and ever-changing, and mutating pathogen, but rather would be an approach along with early treatment, antivirals, and other discoveries both in the real world of medicine and research. The public would have been far more trusting.

Many had great hopes for Biden to turn things around but in fact, his administration seems to throw gasoline on the collective fires. Biden, rather than building bridges, appears to be intent on burning the whole house down. None of these politicians should get a pass from the collective public.

Call to Action: Check out the video before it’s taken down. Video is now gone!
