Joe Biden’s Speech Writer Explains His Process
The Irish Triple-Vaxx Double-Maskers are Getting Locked Out Again
Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 3, 2021 | Sundance | 167 Comments
The World Health Organization announced today -despite worldwide panic- on a global basis, no one has died from the Omicron variant. Meanwhile, the emerald isle of the triple-vaxxed double-masked have decided it’s better to be safe than sorry. Ireland had a single case of Omicron reported.
Nightclubs in Ireland will be closed from next Tuesday until the 9th of January. Strict social distancing will be required in pubs, bars and restaurants with mandatory table service, no standing is permitted anywhere, and there’s a maximum of six people allowed at any table. [I wonder if they lowered the dart boards?]
Additionally, indoor sports venues will be limited to 50% capacity, and all sporting events must be fully seated, and a COVID passport showing evidence of a double-vaxx will be required for access to hotels and gyms. Additionally, human contact for Christmas or New Years is now limited by government mandate to three households at any given location.
FDA Released First Batch of Vaccine Authorization Documents Showing Pfizer Vaccine Resulted in 1,223 Fatalities in First Three Months
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 3, 2021 | Sundance | 348 Comments
A group of medical researchers filed a FOIA request for the documents the FDA relied upon to approve the Pfizer vaccine. There are approximately 330,000 pages of documents from the Emergency Use Authorization process and trial. The FDA responded by saying they did not want to provide the documents or the data. A lawsuit was triggered.
The FDA said they would produce batches of 500 documents per month that will take 55 more years for full production {LINK}. A judge ordered a timed release of the data, and two months after the lawsuit was filed, the first release took place two weeks ago. The FDA produced the first 91 pages of the more than 329,000 pages potentially responsive to the FOIA request. The findings, taken directly from the produced documents, are cited here and discussed below.
The time period covered (‘reporting interval’) is from December 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021, approximately three months of data from the FDA, showing adverse events (AE) from the vaccine rollout. “It is estimated that approximately [REDACTED] doses of BNT162b2 were shipped worldwide from the receipt of the first temporary authorisation for emergency supply on 01 December 2020 through 28 February 2021,” the document states.
Unfortunately, the FDA redacted the total number of vaccinations that took place during the three month window, citing national security. However, the FDA did provide the number and type of serious ‘Adverse Event’ reports which took place during the three months.
The total number of vaccinations during the three months is unknown.
Pfizer received a total of 42,086 reports containing 158,893 “events.”
1,223 people died as a result of the vaccine.
2.90% of the serious adverse events reported resulted in death of the patient. That is a ratio of one death per 34 serious adverse events.
QUESTIONS: How many vaccinations did Pfizer distribute globally *after* February 28, 2021?
Was the scale of Pfizer vaccine distribution significantly higher after the initial period discussed above?
If all of this government mandated vaccination activity is being done “for the public good“, why are those same government officials not publicly transparent with the vaccination data? What information is needed in order to create “informed consent”?

DOJ Likely to Release Andrew Weissmann Version of Trump-Russia Report in Spring 2022
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 3, 2021 | Sundance | 167 Comments
Interesting report from Politico (using DOJ/FBI sources), highlighting a likelihood the DOJ will release another version of the Trump-Russia report in the spring of 2022. From the description it sounds like the Andrew Weissmann version of the Mueller report.
If accurate; and there’s no reason at this point not to see this as likely; this could be considered the third leg of the 2022 election stool being constructed by the leftists who plan election strategies within the Lawfare group.
- Leg one is the J6 Committee investigation and subsequent narrative findings.
- Leg two is the DOJ investigation of audit groups, indictments and subsequent narrative.
- Leg three would be the Andrew Weissmann report, and subsequent narrative.
.
Politico – […] An unpublished investigative compilation sometimes referred to as the “Alternative Mueller Report” has been located in Justice Department files and could be released soon, according to a letter filed in federal court Thursday.
[…] “At least for posterity, I had all the [team] members … write up an internal report memorializing everything we found, our conclusions, and the limitations on the investigation, and provided it to the other team leaders as well as had it maintained in our files,” wrote Weissmann in “Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation.”
[…] The group Weissmann supervised in the special counsel’s office was called “Team M” after its primary target — former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. The team more directly focused on the ties between Russia and former President Donald Trump was known as “Team R.” (read more)
As we have noted for several years, and later admitted by former Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, the special counsel team led by Andrew Weissmann -using the figurehead of Robert Mueller- was in full control of the U.S. Justice Department from May of 2017 to April of 2019. Simultaneously, the Lawfare group allies outside the special counsel were collaborating with their friends in the Weissmann group.
The media, now writing about how an Andrew Weissmann version of the Mueller report will be released early next year, speaks further to the political motive operating inside the current DOJ. It appears that Main Justice, in collaboration with the FBI, will be the strategy center for the Democrat’s 2022 election effort.
Last point…. again this highlights that pesky issue all of the conservative writers and Spygate opinion authors conspicuously avoid: “How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is claimed as hopeful and possible about the 2016/2017 deep state Trump targeting operation; yet simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up?”
The Robert Mueller special counsel team in 2017 through 2019 were an extension of the DOJ/FBI operation against Donald Trump in 2016 and 2017.
When Andrew Weissmann and crew entered the DOJ to effectively run the Trump-Russia investigation, their purpose was to: (1) continue what was ongoing; and (2) coverup all that came before.
AG Jeff Sessions recused himself, and DAG Rod Rosenstein became the co-dependent enabler for the Weissmann crew’s needs.
During a June 2020 Senate hearing, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein openly admitted to being nothing more than the rubber stamp for every request. Rosenstein approved every request, signed every authorization and agreed to every scope expansion Andrew Weissmann put in front of him. There was nothing Rosenstein ever denied the Weissmann crew.
Team Weissmann, under the authorities of a blank-check special counsel, effectively ran Main Justice top to bottom for two years. When you accept the framework Rosenstein later admitted was in place, then you understand that anything blocked from DOJ/FBI release (see Nunes pleas) was blocked by Weissmann Inc; and everything that ever came out of the DOJ/FBI was released by Weissmann Inc. Reread that as many times as needed until it sinks in.
Why was the DOJ/FBI protecting Chris Steele source Igor Danchenko by not exposing the lies that John Durham is now making public in his indictments? The answer is clearly visible in THAT specific moment in July of 2018 when Team Weissmann wrote a letter to the FISA Court increasingly distrusting of what the court was seeing and hearing from the OIG office.
Look at how the FISA was used by the Mueller investigation to continue its weaponization throughout 2017 and even into 2018. In July of 2018, long after the source material was debunked, the special counsel office was still telling the FISA court the predication for the FISA application and subsequent renewals was valid.
Drive this point home. This is a key to understanding the scope of how weaponized the Mueller team was.
In July of 2018, the special counsel resistance group was lying to the FISA court in order to protect the cornerstone document that permitted them to weaponize the intelligence apparatus.
This letter was written July 12, 2018. It is NOT accidental that only a week later, July 21st, the special counsel released the FISA application under the guise of FOIA fulfillment.
Aside from the date, the important part of the first page is the motive for sending it. The Mueller team running the DOJ is telling the court in July 2018: based on what they know, the FISA application still contains “sufficient predication for the Court to have found probable cause” to approve the application. The resistance unit running the DOJ is defending the Carter Page FISA application as still valid.
On page #8 [Source Document Here] when discussing Christopher Steele’s sub-source, Igor Danchenko, the special counsel group notes the FBI found Danchenko to be truthful and cooperative.
This is an incredibly misleading statement to the FISA court, because what the letter doesn’t say is that 18-months earlier Danchenko, also known in the IG report as the “primary sub-source”, disavowed the content and informed the FBI that the material attributed to him in the dossier was essentially junk.
By July 2018, the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid. Why?
It doesn’t take a deep-weeds-walker to identify the DOJ motive. In July 2018, Robert Mueller’s investigation was at its apex, and the people within that investigation were in control of the DOJ. The Special Counsel wrote that 2018 letter to the FISA court to protect themselves.
This letter justifying the application and claiming that current information would still be a valid predicate therein, speaks to the 2018 DOJ needing to retain the validity of the FISA warrant. The DOJ needed to protect evidence Mueller/Weissmann had already extracted from the fraudulently obtained FISA authority. Protect the ‘fruit of the poisoned tree’, that’s the motive.
In July 2018, if the DOJ-NSD had admitted the FISA application and all renewals were fatally flawed, Robert Mueller/Andrew Weismann may have needed to withdraw any evidence gathered as a result of its exploitation. The DOJ in 2018 was protecting Mueller’s poisoned fruit.
If the DOJ had been honest with the court, there’s a strong possibility some, perhaps much, of Mueller evidence gathering would have been invalidated… and cases were pending. The solution: mislead the court, ie. lie, and claim the predication was still valid.
That’s the bigger issue….
…And John Durham has yet to touch it.
November Jobs Report Massively Misses Expectations, 210k Added vs 535k Anticipated, Financial Media Confused
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 3, 2021 | Sundance | 153 Comments
The financial punditry class are befuddled, confused and perplexed. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics released the November jobs report [data here] showing a six figure miss from expectations. Economists were expecting around 535,000 additional jobs; however, the U.S. added only 210,000 jobs according to the new data.
The situation itself is not that difficult to understand when you look at Main Street. However, so many of the professional punditry class are confused because they only focus on the Wall Street economy, their only prism of reference for the last several decades.
Americans are preparing, cutting back and hunkering down from the Hurricane that is Joe Biden’s inflation.
Inside the jobs numbers, you will note the areas where consumer spending contraction first hits: retail, luxury, leisure and hospitality, is the area where November employment was flat or jobs were lost. DUH!
The ‘retail sector‘ lost 20,000 jobs in November. Think about that. What usually happens in November? People are hired to handle holiday seasonal shopping…. but they weren’t… why not? The professional economic punditry cannot figure it out, so they avoid those questions entirely. Those questions hold the key to unlocking the understanding. Does the “pretending not to know things” ring familiar?
The damn jobs report is simply reflecting how Main Street USA workers, consumers, spenders and survivors live when gasoline, energy and food costs necessarily skyrocket. The November employment results are a reflection of the blue collar prepper mindset. This is not hard to figure out. As long as inflation continues to hit items that cannot be avoided, at a level that is two to five times the rate of wage growth, decisions are made that are based on checkbook economics.
The cognitive dissonance is quite remarkable look:
(Via MSM) – The employment situation last month wasn’t what experts expected. There were only 210,000 nonfarm payroll jobs added in November, coming in below the median estimate of 550,000 from economists surveyed by Bloomberg. This comes after October’s gain of over half a million, at 546,000.
Employment in leisure and hospitality was struck hard by the pandemic, and has been slowly making its way back. The industry still has a lot of ground to make up; it’s 1.3 million below pre-pandemic employment, as hiring dramatically slowed last month.
After two months of job gains of over 100,000, leisure and hospitality saw a gain of just 23,000. Instead, leading the way in November’s gains was the professional and business services industry, with 90,000 jobs.
The pandemic may continue to play a role in hiring in the leisure and hospitality industry, according to Daniel Zhao, a senior economist at Glassdoor.
“I think what’s going on here is that the Delta wave is lingering. Even though there has been improvement in the public health situation, cases are still elevated — if not rebounding,” Zhao said. “That has a disproportionate impact on COVID-sensitive industries like leisure and hospitality and retail.” But it could also be that people don’t want to work in such a low-wage industry. (read more)
They’re still blaming COVID, as if the virus is the explanation to justify all of Joe Biden’s massively failing policies.
Inflation is being fueled by legislative spending, monetary policy, fiscal policy, economic policy and Build Back Better. Inflation is the unavoidable Hurricane bearing down upon us…..
The American middle class worker is prepping, boarding up the windows, bringing in their family, preparing to survive this storm and hunkering down. It really is that simple.
I hope that metaphor helps explain the November jobs report.

Rising COVID Cases Among Vaccinated
Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 3, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Reports of fully vaccinated individuals contracting COVID are on the rise. Cases are appearing worldwide, but let’s take a look at Australia as they currently have some of the strictest COVID restrictions in the world. A gym in Sydney only permitted fully vaccinated patrons but was stunned when 15 people fell ill with the virus. The owner said he went “above and beyond” to follow the harsh COVID guidelines, and he had only reopened in October after the government forced gyms to close. In Melbourne, 11 people contracted COVID at a restaurant that also only permitted fully vaccinated patrons. The government will likely vilify small businesses with investigations and fines rather than admitting that the vaccine is ineffective.
The Australian government can and will track down anyone who came into contact with the “diseased” and force them to self-isolate regardless of vaccination status. Reuters reported that fully vaccinated Australians must quarantine for 72 hours upon entering their country due to omicron. Plans to allow skilled migrants to enter the country have halted, and the government seems prepared to ruin its economy by implementing additional restrictions for a virus that can never be eradicated. It almost makes sense as to why Australia continues to invest in their quarantine camps — they know the vaccines do not prevent transmission.
Pelosi: Rules for Thee but Not for Me
Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Dec 3, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Rules for thee, but not for me! Nancy Pelosi, who wants to muzzle everyone, was spotted at a public event hosted by the California State Society without a mask. All children over the age of 2 were forced to wear masks, but the law did not apply to Pelosi. In fact, she was seen giving children fist bumps instead of handshakes while standing inches away from them. These politicians truly think we are dumb. Pelosi’s barefaced appearance comes just days after President Biden requested the public begin wearing masks again due to the omicron variant. “Sooner or later we are going to see cases of this new variant here in the United States,” Biden said days before omicron was detected in America. “Please wear your mask when you’re indoors, in public settings around other people.”
Pelosi knows the rules she helps to impose on others do not apply to her. She enjoys wearing masks on the House floor that match her pantsuits but has been seen disobeying mandates numerous times. Last year, after the state of California closed down all salons, Pelosi visited one without a mask to style her hair. “It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” the salon owner told reporters. “We have been shut down for so long, not just me, but most of the small businesses and I just can’t – it’s a feeling – a feeling of being deflated, helpless, and honestly, beaten down,” she continued. Pelosi’s people responded by saying the salon had a special permit and rules that only applied to one individual in the entire state.
If Pelosi believed that masks would prevent her from contracting the virus, she would wear one. She is 81-years-old and in a high-risk demographic. Anyone who calls others “anti-mask” or “anti-vax” does not understand that the people imposing these restrictions do not believe in what they are selling.
