Colonel Douglas Macgregor Provides Updated Perspective on Ukraine Status


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 7, 2022

Col Douglas Macgregor is about the only person who has given an honest account of what is happening on the ground in Ukraine that actually makes sense with the known set of facts. Almost all other analysis of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is fraught with NATO wishes and rainbow analysis to make things seem like Ukraine can win as an insurgent force.

A very pragmatic Macgregor notes the situation boils down to what kind of a nation state Vladimir Putin wants intact when his military operations are over. It’s a good review of the current state of affairs. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vs The Florida Lügenpresse

He calls himself a journalist, however, Evan Donovan presents himself as a creepy groomer who works for WFLA TV in the Tampa, Florida, region.

The Florida legislature has passed a parent’s right bill [House Bill 1557 [text pdf here] which says in part schools are prohibited from Pre-K to grade 3 classroom discussion involving gender identity: “prohibiting classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels or in a specified manner.”

This section of the bill has drawn the ire of the LGBTQ movement who are demanding in-school access to 5-year-old children, in order to promote their sexuality issues and advance their overall cause.  They now accuse the Florida legislature of creating a “don’t say gay” bill, which, they claim, blocks their allies in the teaching profession from grooming 4 through 8-year-olds with advanced sexual content.

Today, Evan Donovan, in an effort to assist the sexualization of kindergarten students and promote an early childhood masturbation agenda, asked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to justify his support of the parents’ right bill.  Things got heated:

The Little Red Lyin’ Twit Says Biden Will Try To Reduce Impact of Rising Oil Prices, but Won’t Unleash U.S. Energy Resources


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 7, 2022

White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki said today the Biden administration will try to reduce the impact of rising oil prices for American consumers but will not do anything to allow increased production of U.S. energy resources.

Oh, and it’s all Vladimir Putin’s fault, WATCH:

I’ll keep repeating it, because many people just don’t understand the unique nature of our North American position.  Energy resources are nation specific.  Ireland, the U.K, Europe, or Australia, do not have abundant oil and natural gas deposits like the U.S. does.  ANWAR has more oil than Saudi Arabia.

A U.S. president can and does control the price of gasoline.  What can a U.S. President and administration specifically do?  We have abundant U.S. energy resources.  Quite literally the strongest in the entire world.

  • Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
  • Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
  • Re-approve the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
  • Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
  • Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
  • Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
  • Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.

.Unfortunately, this would mean reversing the entire energy policy of the current administration.  The existing energy inflation and high prices of oil, natural gas and gasoline are a direct and intentional part of Joe Biden’s policy.  That policy is driven by the leftist demand for a “green new deal.”

None of the actions above require any approval from OPEC.  Strategically, the ‘all of the above’ approach enhances U.S. national security and diminishes the influence of Russia, China and Iran.  Within six months of the above, gasoline will plummet.

The Media’s Insidious Effort to Shift Economic Blame From White House to Russia Continues


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 7, 2022 | Sundance

The propaganda effort by western media, specifically but not exclusively U.S. media, to shift blame for massive economic damage from Joe Biden to Russia is reaching a stunning level of coordinated intent.

The cognitive dissonance (fancy words for telling lies under the cloud of economic analysis) is not only happening in the U.S; a similar level of blame-shifting is happening in Europe, Australia, Canada and most western media outlets.

The global economic contraction, which was specifically and intentionally created by the collective ‘Build Back Better‘ promoters, is now being blamed on Russia; and, quite frankly, the motive behind the corporate media shifting the blame is because the underlying ideology (western policy) was/is supported by the leftist media tribe.

Throughout 2021, it is well documented how government COVID policies of lockdowns, economic consequences and insane spending, created the baseline problem behind inflation.  Simultaneously, the western approach toward energy development and the “opportunity” the EU and U.S. sought to exploit within the BBB agenda to radically transform energy use, was simply pouring super-volatile fuel on an already burning fire.

In 2021, gasoline prices increased 60 to 80 percent.  Food prices jumped 15 to 40 percent, with some sectors even higher.  By the time the EU central bankers and U.S. Federal reserve finally admitted inflation was no longer “transitory,” we were facing next harvest fertilizer prices that tripled in price from 2020, and oil prices that had doubled in the span of 12 months.

None of this had anything whatsoever to do with Russia’s plans for Ukraine.   Every part of the economic problem was created by government policy.

The western working class are in an abusive relationship with western government.

Reckless spending during an intentionally blocked economy, combined with radically changed energy and monetary policy, created this storm of economic consequence.  At no point in this scenario was the outcome not in the control of government.

These consequences were specifically caused by ideological decisions made by people who are never affected by them.  However, in a sick, twisted and Machiavellian effort to avoid the pitchforks now heading in their direction, these government leaders and their media stenographers are trying desperately to pin the blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This example from Axios today is a case study in blame shifting:

Economic forecasters are starting to plug the effects of the Ukraine war into their models. It doesn’t look good, especially for Europe.

Why it matters: Much of the world is set to experience weaker growth and higher inflation than seemed likely mere weeks ago. And that’s assuming some of the more dire possibilities that further escalation of the conflict could bring don’t materialize.

The big picture: Soaring energy prices are the most direct channel through which the world economy stands to be battered by the conflict. But rising prices for other commodities will also fuel inflation and could disrupt supply lines.

  • These forecasts were made last week before a new surge in oil futures overnight Sunday into Monday that will only intensify these pressures.
  • Moreover, geopolitical risk has tightened financial conditions, which could constrain investment — though that effect is modest so far.

By the numbers: Economists at JPMorgan said Friday they expect the world economy to grow 0.8 percentage points slower in 2022 than they did on Feb. 18. (read more)

Everything is obtuse crap.

However, in our discussions we do not need to pretend.  Preparations require a brutal acceptance of the landscape that is in front of us, not some clouded avoidance that will only make us victims to our lack of acceptance.

In May and June of 2021, the entire economic machine shifted.  That was when the final cash dump into the economy became visible. Everything since then is a direct outcome of that inflection point.  It has been eight months of economic smoke and mirrors.

Inflation in the last half of 2021 was driven by spending decisions in the first half of 2021.   That oil in the machinery has dried up.  As we watched the reserve tanks emptying, CTH was warning -repeatedly- to prepare.  Now, things are about to seize.  We will see even more inflation as massive increases in fuel will drive up the costs of everything again.

It’s not an issue of whether a recession is possible, likely or probable.  As we noted last year, the recession would have naturally taken place in the third and fourth quarter. It was clear that overall consumer demand was artificially propped up by govt subsidy.  Government intervention stopped the natural demand contraction from surfacing.

Now, with even higher oil prices leading to $7/gal gasoline, there will be no way to avoid seeing the pain of an economic recession under much steeper terms than before.    None of this is accidental.  All of this is by design.

Massive increases in energy and gasoline costs are a feature of their plan, not a flaw.

Joe Biden always was the disposable political tool within this insidious scheme.

EMR Survey: Ivermectin Associated with Lower Mortality Than Remdesivir


Posted originally on TrialSite New by Staff March 5, 2022

EMR Survey Suggests Ivermectin Associated with Lower Mortality Than Remdesivir

A team of University of Miami researchers compared fatality rates for COVID-19 patients who took ivermectin and those who took remdesivir and found the ivermectin cohort experienced reduced mortality.

“Ivermectin use was associated with decreased mortality in patients with COVID-19 compared to remdesivir,” the authors wrote.

The authors determined that ivermectin’s odds ratio of mortality compared to Remdesivir was 0.308.

Ivermectin vs. Remdesivir

Ivermectin has been discouraged as an early treatment option by the United States Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and other public health authorities, while remdesivir has been endorsed by those same authorities.

“To our knowledge, this is the largest association study of patients with COVID-19, mortality and ivermectin,” said the authors. “Further double-blinded placebo-controlled [random controlled trials] with large samples are required for definite conclusion.”

University of Miami Research Team

The researchers included medical student Iakov Efimenko, medical student Sirpi Nackeeran, Sinan K. Jabori, MD, Associate Program Director of the Infectious Disease Fellowship Jose Gonzalez Zamora, MD; Sara Danker, MD, and Devinder Singh, MD, all of whom are affiliated with University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine.

TriNetX Research Network Searched 

The team searched patient records on the TriNetX Research network, a federated electronic medical records network of over 44 healthcare organizations and 68 million U.S. patients from 2009 to 2021 to identify adults with a recorded COVID-19 infection between January 1, 2020, and July 11, 2021. 

The team then compared those with recorded use of ivermectin, but not remdesivir, against those with recorded use of remdesivir, but not ivermectin. 

The team also controlled for comorbidities and treatments that may affect COVID-19 survival outcomes: age, gender, race, ethnicity, nicotine use diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic lower respiratory disease, ischemic heart diseases, tocilizumab, glucocorticoids, or ventilator use.

Mortality Primary Outcome

The group measured association with mortality as the primary outcome.

The team identified a cohort of 1,072 people who were treated with ivermectin and another 40,536 who were treated with remdesivir. 

In the ivermectin cohort, the average age was 51.9 + 17.8 years, 43% were male, 60% had glucocorticoids, and 1% required ventilator support, average age. 

In the remdesivir cohort, the average age was 62.0 + 16.0 years, 54% were male, 64% had glucocorticoids, and 2% required ventilator support. 

Ivermectin Reduced Mortality vs. Remdesivir by 70%

After using propensity score matching and adjusting for potential confounders, ivermectin was associated with 70 percent reduced mortality vs remdesivir with a risk difference of -5.224%.

Russia Disconnecting the Internet to Prevent US Cyber attacks


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Re-Posted Mar 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

While Cogent Communications, a major internet backbone provider that routes data across intercontinental connections, cut ties with Russian customers. It cited sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine. However, Putin is very strategic and despite the allegations that Russia intervened in US elections which turnout out to be false before the 2020 election Putin took steps in 2019 to protect Russia from American cyberattacks. He conducted tests in June and July to disconnect Russia from the global internet.

Putin chaperoned legislation, known as the “sovereign internet” law, back in late 2019 with the intent to disconnect the internet to protect the country because of what they saw as the “aggressive nature” of the United States’ national cyber security strategy.

All the sanctions that the Biden Administration has taken against Russia are in truth acts of war. Putin is clearly at this point preparing for an all-out war with the United States. The Biden Administration wants war. They have not made any attempt to reduce tensions since taking office.

China holds about $1 trillion in US debt. During the Quantitative Easing, China was reducing the average maturity moving more short-term. China has been taking steps to make its currency transition to a global currency. In order to do that, China had to loosen its peg to the dollar allowing the currency to float to appease forex traders in global markets. China’s economic growth has slowed over the years. However, what is significant in this dispute over Ukraine, as the economy contracts globally, China’s exports have declined thanks to COVID, and as this has taken place, China is also less able to invest in U.S. Treasurys going forward. Thus, the Biden Sanctions are so dangerous to the world economy, that we are looking at STAGFLATION and a decline in trade and debt accumulation by China, and even Japan which remains the largest foreign holder of US debt.

The Biden Administration’s vendetta against Russia for Climate Change and to accomplish the Great Reset, will fail. They have bitten off more than they can chew.

US Effectively Declares World War III Starting with Russia


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Re-Posted Mar 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

World peace is created by economic opportunity. That is how the Roman Empire flourished for 1,000 years. They conquered much of North Africa during the Punic Wars. They conquered Greece and the East during the days of the Republic. Yes, they conquered all of Europe under Julius Caesar. They captured Egypt under Octavian who defeated Cleopatra VII. They took Britain under Claudius, they conquered the Balkans under Trajan. Constantine even moved the capital from Rome to what today is Istanbul – old Constantinople. What held it together? It was free trade!

There have been enduring phases from the Roman Empire like – All roads lead to Rome. What had created the greatest empire ever known to human history was the fact that it not only merged so many cultures and languages, but everyone benefited from free trade. The conquered lands benefited by becoming emerging markets and private Roman entrepreneurs became investors bringing the unique products from all the provinces to Rome.

The phase, taking the purple, meant becoming emperor for you see purple dye was imported from India and the emperor loved that color so much, nobody was allowed to wear purple other than the emperor. This is why today you will see priests with purple vestments symbolizing that Christ is king.

In the Roman Forum, there is the Via Sacra. This was the ancient Wall Street of Rome.  Ancient commentators recorded that when there was the earthquake in Turkey, panic struck the Via Sacra because of all the investments in that region from the Roman bankers. Roman Emperor Tiberius had to create a bail-out fund and even issued coins declaring this was a relief for Asia.

Our world leaders are ignorant of history and have now set us on a course for what our computer has been projecting – inevitable outcome – World War III. This hate and demonization of Putin is not only a cover for failing to understand history and what it shows us as the war to world peace by free international trade for once everyone benefits, nobody bites the hand that feeds them. Indeed, Henry Kissinger said back in the Washington Post on March 14, 2014, when Russia took back Crimea – “The demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy. It is an alibi for not having one.”

During World War I, the United States swore it would remain neutral. But it was secretly sending arms on passenger ships to aid Britain. The Germans knew this and even took out an advertisement warning Americans not to sail on that ship for they would sink it. Once more, history is repeating itself. I believe the backdrop to this is the Great Reset which could NOT be accomplished without removing Trump, Putin, and then China. This cannot be simply such stupidity for what Lindsey Graham has stated in this video is showing that he and the rest of Congress will unite to create World War III cutting off all Russians now from credit cards and telling them to overthrow Putin. They may replace Putin with someone who is much more ruthless like Stalin who just killed tens of millions.

Here is a chart of the Euro daily marking the point where Harris tells Ukraine they should join NATO which is a breach of the Budapest Agreement. Putin’s invasion begins 4 days later. There was NO EFFORT by the Biden Administration to tell Putin that Harris is an idiot and what she said was not the policy of the United States. Even Blinken openly encourages Ukraine saying that they can beat Russia. Nobody seems to care about how many Ukrainians must die for this agenda. There has been no effort to negotiate to tell Zelensky to do what he promised when he won the position in 2019 as the President of Ukraine.

Zelensky became President of Ukraine in a landslide victory by promising he would ease tensions with Russia and resolve the crisis in the breakaway republics in east Ukraine that had been taking place since 2014. The former government was seen even by Russia as one instigating war. Putin expressed hope that Zelensky would change that policy of confrontation. In truth, Zelensky not merely made no such attempt to keep his promises, but instead, he has done exactly the opposite by shelling Donbas escalating the civil war and relentlessly provoking Russia by constantly asking NATO to violate the Budapest Agreement. There is reasonable concern that he is indeed a puppet and has been promised great personal wealth to steer Ukrain into a position to justify World War III.

So here we are once more. The Biden Administration has done nothing to create world peace. All they have done is fan the flames of war and this is INTENTIONAL. These sanctions now cutting off all the Russian people from credit cards is an act of war. It certainly appears that they are simply trying to overthrow Putin as they did with Trump to further this Great Reset. Germany is even appointing Jeniffer Morgan, the head of Green Peace, as secretary of state for Climate Change is the only issue these seem to be concerned about. Overthrowing Putin is the next objective and then they hope they will be able to take over Russia for the Great Reset.
