There is Something Just Not Right – Papers Please!
Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Nov 16, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Hello
I think there is something wrong with the pattern when it comes to covid and the vaccines. It just do not add up. If the vaccines are about depopulation, then why does Gates vaccinate the people he would like to keep if he could choose? Why isn´t for example Africa the most vaccinated place instead of the western world and China etc. (look at a vaccination map)? The only way this adds up is if the covid vaccines are meant to protect against something worse that is to come. It would also explain for example why they want to vaccinate children and it would mean many overpopulated countries that do not get the vaccine could be hit very hard in a later stage, together with conservatives…
Best regards

ANSWER: Your point is interesting, but I do not believe the vaccines will suddenly kill the vaccinated in 2 or 3 years – at least intentionally. They may lower your immunity and make you more susceptible to new strains of viruses yet to appear. There seems to be a greater risk that they will impact fertility intentionally. But the side effects are serious and there are no studies that warn people with certain medical profiles not to take the vaccine as is the case with other vaccines on the CDC website. The MMR vaccine the CDC clearly tells who should not get vaccinated.
There is something VERY VERY VERY wrong here. This is from the CDC’s website, which clearly has a section on the measles vaccine (MMR), warning that those who have these conditions should NOT be vaccinated. That is absent with respect to COVID. Why?
Now here is the page from the CDC on the COVID vaccine. There is no section whatsoever to warn people who should NOT be vaccinated. Why? Once you have had a disease, you do not get vaccinated against that same disease. Politicians disregard that and still demand vaccination. There is something seriously wrong here. Nobody will answer the questions, and you are to be fired if you refuse, and there are no exceptions. For every other vaccine, there are exceptions, but not with COVID. This is no longer medical; it is political. Anyone who thinks the government cares about you is really living in fantasyland.
If we look at the madman of Australia, he has come out and told the people who are vaccinated that if they want to retain any freedom, they much are regularly vaccinated. In Austria, they are imprisoning people who are not vaccinated. Look beyond the United States and you will see this agenda unfolding. It is really to control the population. They know when government fails, there will be an uprising. To prevent civil unrest, they are using these vaccines to control people. In Europe, you cannot travel without a COVID pass. With the situation varying from country to country, in Europe, traveling for the vaccinated across the EU is not entirely possible. What they do not want is resistance gathering from all over Europe into one place. They are reinstating the Nazi protocol – Papers Please!
The United States is different than Europe. Biden does not have the power to order lockdowns nationwide. His attempt to force vaccinations on companies with 100 or more employees is going through federal agencies which do not have such powers. That is why Biden is telling companies to ignore the courts. If that is legal, then likewise ignore all the COVID rules from Washington is also legal.
There will be further mutations of COVID and they are clueless about what they have unleashed. This is Pandora’s Box. They have no way of now knowing the mutations of this virus because it was created in a lab somewhere, probably not even China, and deliberately released for political control. I have been warning that any virus that co-exists in animals can NEVER be cured with a vaccine because it has a vast reservoir to mutate. Even leopards in the zoo have died of COVID. It has been suggested that 40% of the deer population has gotten COVID.
I am NOT a doctor. I was taught that in high school health class. When a virus co-exists in animals, that is why we cannot cure a common cold or the flu. Our greatest risk is that this man-made virus will mutate far beyond what these people thought. Already, the people who are vaccinated are getting new strains of COVID and dying at a faster rate than the UNVACCINATED. This forced Gates to admit his vaccines do not work. He will come out with version 2.0 and the politicians will still use it to carry out their tyranny because they have so mismanaged the economy there is no saving this current version of socialism. In the old days, they would be dragging our politicians out of their fancy offices unto the street and either light them on fire as they did in a revolution in China, or they would behead them and parade their heads on a spike as they would in ancient Rome.
Warning – Migrate from Urban Cities to the Suburbs
Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Nov 16, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
I have warned that they were considering lockdowns for climate change. India has been the first to impose a lockdown in New Delhi all for air pollution. I strongly recommend that if you can, get out of the major urban cities before you find yourself locked in home imprisonment denied all human rights on the basis of climate. This is the New World Order and the end goal is to even eliminate office buildings and commuting.
U.S. Appeals Court: Vaccine Uptake True Purpose of Mandate, Not Workplace Safety

Dr. Ron Brown – Opinion Editorial
November 15, 2021
TrialSite previously reported on the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals’ decision to halt U.S. President Biden’s vaccine mandate: Conservative 5th Circuit Makes Move to Block POTUS COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate. The opinion of the Appeals Court is documented under Docket 21-60845, available for download here. Reading deeper into this court document implicates the true purpose of the vaccine mandate, which applies as well to a long history of vaccine mandates that I have previously written about. For example, in my editorial, Fear and Coercion in Public Health Vaccination Campaigns, I quoted testimony of a U.S. public health official from the early 20th century who admitted using identical workplace coercion policies to drive vaccination rates for smallpox almost 100 years ago.
On page 3 of the recent Appeal Court document, the Circuit Judges wrote that the case involved the “Mandate” issued by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The mandate required “employees of covered employers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination or take weekly COVID-19 tests and wear a mask.”Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “Vaccine” ChannelNo spam – we promise
On page 15 of the document, the Judges wrote about the “underinclusive” nature of the mandate that didn’t apply to companies with under 100 employees. The Judges questioned why employees of smaller companies would be denied the same safety afforded to larger companies if the mandate’s true purpose was workplace safety during a public health emergency. This caused the Judges to question “the premise that any of this is truly an emergency.”
Moreover, the Judges wrote, “The underinclusive nature of the Mandate implies that the Mandate’s true purpose is not to enhance workplace safety, but instead to ramp up vaccine uptake by any means necessary.”
Furthermore, in a footnote on page 15 of the document, the Judges pointed out that vaccination alone doesn’t prevent employees from spreading the virus, and that weekly testing is insufficient to prevent daily exposures to infections. These points raise additional doubts about the Mandate’s intention to address workplace safety during a true public health emergency.
Covered Employers
Coercion is not a new tactic to “ramp up vaccine uptake.” Coercion can also apply to “deputized” employers who may be threatened with shutdowns for non-compliance. On page 4 of the Appeal Court document, the Judges wrote about the employers covered by the Mandate:
“…the Mandate imposes a financial burden upon them by deputizing their participation in OSHA’s regulatory scheme, exposes them to severe financial risk if they refuse or fail to comply, and threatens to decimate their workforces…”
History shows that these coercion tactics to promote vaccination have been used by public health agencies for at least a hundred years or more. At least we have the courts to step in to halt the damage…temporarily.
It’s up to state legislatures to make it an official crime for public health agencies to issue and enforce coercion policies that threaten workers and employers while under prioritizing workplace safety during a questionable public health emergency.
Scottsdale Arizona School Board Votes to Remove President After Moms Discover Secret Surveillance of Parents and Children
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 15, 2021 | Sundance | 116 Comments
The Scottsdale Unified School District in Arizona was scrambling after a group of moms discovered that Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg was keeping secret surveillance files, a dossier of sorts, on parents and students the school board head viewed as a risk to the interests of the district.
In essence what the parents discovered was evidence their own school system was keeping creepy opposition files on the parents of students in the school district.
Parents gathered today to demand the removal of the Governing Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg, and the destruction of the Google Drive files filled with personal information, documents, and photos of about 47 people, including children.
Creepy Mr. Greenburg was removed, but not fired.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Jann-Michael Greenburg has been ousted as the Scottsdale Unified School Board president following controversy over a dossier of information he is accused of keeping on parents who were openly critical of the district.
The board voted 4-1 Monday evening to elect board member Patty Beckman to replace Greenburg as the president for the remainder of his term. Board members Zach Lindsay and Libby Hart-Wells called for Greenburg’s resignation, but Greenburg did not resign. Greenburg is still a member of the board, although stripped of the title of president. (read more)
National Economic Council Director Brian Deese Claims Inflation Working Perfectly – As Designed, a Collapsing U.S. Economy Demands More Congressional Spending
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 14, 2021 | Sundance | 138 Comments
JoeBama’s National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, the twenty-something central planner in charge of all White House economic policy, tells a curiously skeptical Jake Tapper that things are working swimmingly, exactly according to plan.
According to the Biden-Deese theory on sustainable economic policy, massive spending creates massive inflation; which creates an increased demand for government subsidy to afford basic products; which creates a growing dependency on the government; which creates a need for massive spending. Wash-Rinse-Repeat.
This is exactly the expanding economic dependency model sold by socialists around the world for generations, which Barack Obama and his Biden administration promise they have now perfected in order to remove the pesky inequities always associated with unbridled capitalism. Smile everyone, government cheese aplenty…
.In a rather ironic note, the parseltongue White House explanation is so disconnected from common sense, that furrowed brow’s brain is having an out of body issue, seemingly he is watching himself participate. The producers shift the camera angles quickly to compensate.
It would appear that somewhere in the recesses of Tapper’s frontal cortex, there remains a glowing ember of the common sense particle. Unfortunately for the CNN host, the synapse for the common sense particle is pinched between the ‘Smarter than thou tumor‘ and the expanding grey brain matter of moral relativity needed to sit silently and listen to bulls**t.
Within this cognitive conflict, you can visibly see Tapper’s guilt hypothalamus trying to make him uncomfortable… he sighs heavily as the infrequently exercised guilt glands attempt to trigger him to react. Alas, the party groupthink microchip in his ear warns him to stay quiet.
Look at Tapper’s expression!
Sunday Talks, Head of Minneapolis Federal Reserve Says Inflation Will Get Worse and Prices Will Never Come Down
Posted originally on the conservative tree hour on November 14, 2021 | Sundance | 174 Comments
Neel Kashkari is head of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve. If you know the financial lingo, you can see the dire forecast behind the opaque language. In plain-speak, Kashari is saying when it comes to prices and inflation, “we’re screwed“…
In this interview with CBS talking head Margaret Brennan, Kashkari admits inflation is still going up, and it will get worse. Keep in mind, the lingo of the inflation conversation is discussing “percentages of change.” Kashkari claims the percentages of change will start to slow in a few years, but the prices will never return to their former level.
The percentage of inflationary change (this year vs last year) will continue going up, as prices continue to skyrocket over almost every sector. CTH points out this issue, because as the Fed continues printing current money, the value of future money drops and the price of goods continues to climb. The fast-turn goods rise in price quickest (now recorded at 6.2%), and the inflation on slow-turn durable goods lags but hits even harder.
Current real inflation inside the ‘total’ economy, the cumulative snowball that is coming down the mountain, is over 20% and still growing. This situation puts the forecast prices of 2022 goods at an alarming level. WATCH:
The fed has no tools to slow the rate of current inflation, as interest rates are disconnected {Revisit The New Dimension in Modern Economics} from the cost of goods produced. The only thing the Fed can do is to stop purchasing debt (Quantitative Easing), stop purchasing our own bonds, at a slower rate.
Despite being a progressive himself, even Neel Kashkari is telling congress to stop spending money.
.
Maybe you don’t have kids at home, maybe you don’t pack lunches or care what the cost of a pound of bologna will be, maybe you are retired and the stove hasn’t been operated all year as you prefer to dine out…. but I can assure you, to a demonstrable certainty, that almost all middle class working Americans will be making decisions on what food products they can afford. Head lettuce at $4 to $5 each, eggs at $3/doz, milk around $6/gal, butter around $8/lb, and citrus so expensive getting an orange in your Christmas stocking will be a trend again in 2022.
The background conversations in the raw material, processing, manufacturing, wholesaling and food contract networks are enough to make you lose sleep.
[…] Tyson sent a letter to at least two regional distributors last month in which it said that prices on Ball Park, Hillshire Farm, Jimmy Dean, State Fair and all deli meats will increase by a range of 5% to 10.2% beginning Jan. 2 for “all retail customers.” … “We continue to face accelerating levels of extraordinary inflation,” Tyson said in the letter. “The sustained duration and significant impact of the inflation necessitates additional pricing action.” (link)
The traditional net terms at 30, 60 or 90 days are right now a hot topic, as producers and suppliers in the food supply chain can no longer commit to contractual prices for future goods delivered. The upstream price increases are so large, the downstream suppliers will not contract on fixed prices, EVEN for the big box retailers.
Only those who know the scale of Walmart buying office pressure and dominance can appropriately contextualize a current WM supplier telling the behemoth to “go spit” if they don’t like the fact that price guarantees are no longer part of the equation. Yeah, it is THAT bad.
We are only a few months away from seeing massive inflation that will fundamentally change the way everyone looks at food shopping, or highly consumable purchases, and what the middle class formerly considered to be “luxury” purchases. Inflation, in the background, is going to come through the supply chain like a thundershock…. and it’s not just food.
This recent insider comment caused me to do some digging, and this is 100% accurate:
“I am an executive in the detergent chemical industry that supplies all of the major pharmaceutical companies, and am in charge of pricing and purchasing of large quantities of raw materials – both commodities, and surfactants, which are the main ingredients in detergents. Here is a brief overview of the situation.
Commodities, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium carbonate (soda ash), and other basic additives that adjust pH, thickness, anti-redeposition, rinseability, and other properties are up around 10-15% on a raw material cost basis from February. Not a single material is unaffected.
Citric acid is up nearly 40-50% when it can be found, at minimum. There is a nationwide allocation, which means that they give material to whom they feel like. One of the major domestic manufacturers of these materials shut down production of citric acids and other acidulants due to maintenance. Many companies in my industry are paying nearly 300% (not a typo – three hundred percent) increases on citric acid.
Domestic primary surfactants, which are made by a handful of companies such as Stepan Company, Solvay, Huntsman, and many more, are up 15-20%, due mainly to oil cost, transportation, etc.
Domestic specialty surfactants, specifically of a class called ethoxylated surfactants, are nearly gone. Not hard to get, not difficult to find – gone. In February, the ice storm took out piping and power lines along the entire gulf coast. The two towns that got hit hardest were Houston, TX, and a little town called St. Charles, LA. St. Charles is where all ethoxylation takes place in the USA for everyone from Dow to Sasol to BASF, and is the key process to make these specialty ethoxylated surfactants. Then, after 4 months of shutdowns, just when everything was getting back into swing, Hurricane Ida wrecked everything all over again.
Dow, one of the largest companies in the world, only restarted production at their facility there in early October.
The crisis of transportation and at the ports is only adding to this crisis of manufacturing in the chemical industry. News to everyone? It was never covered, not even once, on the news.
If truckers are going to be forced to be vaccinated come January, there will be even less trucks than there are now.
The wheels of the world are being purposefully and deliberately ground to a halt. We’d be better off with the mafia back in control of the ports worldwide.
This is going to get so much worse before it gets any better, and the administration in office is doing everything in their power to make sure it is as bad as possible.” (link)
And this on “Industrial Price Increases“:
Kamala Harris is worried about feeding children of the world, while we are literally weeks away from millions of working class, non-subsidized Americans being worried about feeding their own kids. Infuriating is an understatement.
Please prepare yourselves and your families accordingly. The proactive window to prepare for what’s coming in the short term is approximately 60 days from today; and then spending options begin to diminish quickly.
Yes, the rate of price increase may indeed level off. However, we will not see prices dropping or returning to their prior position even after this is over. The price of goods is climbing, will continue to climb and will eventually reach a point that they stop climbing – if policies change and/or the 2022 mid term election gets rid of the communists who are spending the money; but those prices are not going to come back down, ever.
A current loaf of bread, widget or (fill_in_the_blank) at $4.69 will climb to near $6.00 in 2022, and that will be the new normal price of that widget, bread or item from that moment into the future. If you accept that behind you is a massive price increase about to hit on almost everything you purchase, anything you can do now to offset the impact to your household budget when the full weight of these price increases hit is going to be well worth doing.
This is all being done by design.
ABC/WaPo Outlines New Terrible, Horrible Polling For Joe Biden and Democrat Communists
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 14, 2021 | Sundance | 202 Comments
ABC always pairs with The Washington Post for their media polling [DATA pdf HERE]. It has always made sense for the deep swamp (DC Inc) to work with the intelligence PR firm of the Washington Post, as they attempt to prop up their politics. Unfortunately, the results of the latest outlook look terribly horrible for their future.
Why does George Stephanopoulos have a case of the sads… “As things stand, if the midterm elections were today, 51 percent of registered voters say they’d support the Republican candidate in their congressional district, 41 percent the Democrat. That’s the biggest lead for the Republicans in 110 ABC/Post polls to ask this question since November 1981.” The economic outcomes from JoeBama policy are again crushing Americans, as only 29% of voters view the economy as good.
70 percent of Americans say f**k Joe Biden, things are not good. The key factor is the economy. With inflation soaring, 70 percent say it’s in bad shape, up from 58 percent last spring. Joe Biden’s approval for handling the economy overall is down to 39 percent. Fifty-five percent now disapprove of Biden’s economic performance. In terms of Biden’s job performance overall, a new low of 41 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove; similar to his rating on the economy.
The Biden economic agenda is purposefully destroying America with massive inflation that is crushing the middle class. While the majority of Americans do not know the specifics of how the JoeBama policy is doing this, everyone can see and feel the outcomes…. and it is only getting worse.
In the states of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – Biden’s overall job approval rating is 33 percent, compared with 43 percent elsewhere. Registered voters in these states favor Republicans over Democrats for the House by a 23-point margin, 58-35 percent, vs 7 points, 49-42 percent, in the rest of the country. Independents, often swing voters in national elections, favor GOP candidates by 18 points (50-32 percent).

Is the Pervasiveness of Woke Ideology Fostering Racial Fakery?

Commentary
Throughout history, to avoid material harm, or to gain social acceptance from an oppressor group, many people have suppressed a stigmatizing identity and “passed.” Jews have passed for gentile; mixed-race for white; indigenous for non-indigenous. Most of these fakers sought the greatest possible anonymity; the more they blended in, the less scrutiny they attracted. Their motivation—fear of the oppressor—was grounded in reality.
Today, it is quite the opposite: Identity fraud by official oppressors passing as the officially oppressed can whisk the perpetrator from anonymity to high status involving social and material reward. Their motivation? Not fear. Envy.
The contemporary faker’s habitat is most often a university, where he or, increasingly, she (as opportunities for women in high places soar) is paid large sums of money to promote the interests of the group the faker identifies with.
U.S. race fabulist Rachel Dolezal was outed in 2015 after passing for years as black. Not only was the former teacher of Africana studies able to dupe her university, Dolezal managed to insinuate herself into leadership of a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter before her house of cards collapsed.
Likewise, Canadian Carrie Bourassa, recently outed as a “pretendian” Métis, worked to advance the fortunes of indigenous people. Now on leave, both from her tenured position at the University of Saskatchewan and as scientific director of the indigenous health arm of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Bourassa had also successfully passed as indigenous for many years.
It was only when Bourassa began to gild the lily, upping her Métis genetic claims with alleged links to include the Anishinaabe and Tlingit First Nations, that a colleague of indigenous heritage looked into Bourassa’s genealogy. She alerted the CBC to her findings, prompting their own independent investigation, which resulted in exposure of Bourassa’s all-European DNA.
Bourassa’s grand deception elicited shock and criticism from indigenous and non-indigenous critics. A hail-Mary revisionist statement proffering a fig leaf for her claim (“custom adoption” rather than blood quantum) fell flat.
It is natural to assume, and most observers did, that rapid career advancement was the principal motivation behind Bourassa’s elaborate charade. But I find that explanation alone insufficient.
First, because it is a demanding job in itself for a public figure to remain “in character” all the livelong day for a projected lifetime. No ordinary person of Bourassa’s genuine intelligence and competence would consider accelerated career advancement alone a good enough reason for such an investment of time and effort, when the alternative wasn’t penury, but a perfectly satisfactory career in her field, even if achieved at a slower pace and without public acclaim.
And second, because anyone guided by an unoccluded capacity for weighing the risks against the benefits in her situation—her own family was living proof of her deception—would surely have anticipated and quailed before the strong possibility, indeed the probability, of eventual disclosure, with all the shame and humiliation such a revelation would, and has, entailed.
Only an individual driven by extreme psychological need to internalize her myth as truth would pursue such a reckless course of action. So I do not see cold calculation in Bourassa’s delusion; rather I see a highly ambitious but psychologically fragile human being whose mental vulnerability made her a vessel into which certain ideological strains in our culture were easily poured.
We find a supportive clue to this hypothesis in a reported statement Bourassa issued through an anonymous group in which she claimed that she has the right to “self-identify as an Indigenous Person, within the greater family of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.” She reportedly asserted that the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (UNDRIP) “confirms and legally supports her to Self-identify as an Indigenous Person.”
Of course, UNDRIP, which curiously does not actually define the word “indigenous,” does no such thing. The allusion likely refers to Article 33, which states: “Indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own identity or membership in accordance with their customs and traditions.” Peoples, not individuals.
It may well be that Bourassa truly believes she “is” indigenous because her mind fused the two dominant but contradictory belief systems guiding the present cultural moment: gender fluidity and critical race theory (CRT). CRT tells us that immutable, genetically embedded characteristics like race and indigenous blood quantum are the bedrock of one’s identity, while gender ideology tells us that immutable biological factors like chromosomes and gametes are meaningless beside subjective feelings of identity.
So on the one hand, Bourassa was educated to believe that as a white woman, she harboured an original sin she could never extirpate. On the other, she was educated to believe that her own feelings were the sole arbiter of her own identity.
What Bourassa did was wrong, but can we not sympathize with her? Our society’s most influential institutions—government, education, law, health services—have endorsed both these pernicious woke belief systems as worthy of entrenchment in our pedagogy and policies. Take any sensitive child with an unstable sense of self, for whatever reason. Indoctrinate that child to believe that nothing about his or her body may be taken as a clue to his or her “real” identity. At the same time, hammer home the message that skin colour and DNA—the only indications of one’s “real” identity in everything but gender—are infallible signs of either lifelong victimhood, or of ineradicable genocidal guilt.
The two messages conflict, but since one, if untethered from gender and applied to indigeneity, offers not only release from tormenting guilt but also material reward and reverence from cultural elites to boot—well, the wonder isn’t that Carrie Bourassa synthesized a personal myth from them; the wonder is there are so few copycats.
Bourassa’s flamboyancy was her downfall. At a 2019 TEDx talk, dramatically garbed in traditional aboriginal costume and with a feather in her hand, “Morning Star Bear” choked up with genetic pride. “I’m Bear Clan. I’m Anishinaabe Métis from Treaty Four Territory,” she announced to ecstatically woke applause.
Bourassa’s role immersion recalls Grey Owl (1888-1938), a.k.a. Archie Belaney, a British-born Canadian pretendian who, falsely claiming Ojibwe lineage, became known in the 1930s as “the most famous Canadian alive.” The native people Belaney lived amongst knew he was a charlatan, but his effective conservation activism earned their silence.
Today’s compulsively chatty digital panopticon has made protective silence a superannuated luxury for fraudsters. That’s a fact of life. Alas, Bourassa was indoctrinated to believe “feelings” can trump facts. Everyone now is similarly indoctrinated. But unlike “everyone,” Bourassa took her “felt” identity to an extreme but logical conclusion.
