Canadian Truckers Remove One Massive Political Roadblock – Erin O’Toole Removed as the Conservative Voice, Meanwhile St Crispen’s Day Approaches


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 2, 2022 | Sundance | 292 Comments

The Canadian “Freedom Convoy” of truckers, representing the voices of the forgotten working-class men and women of Canada, have achieved a resounding victory today on behalf of Middle Canada.  The conservative opposition in Canada has removed Erin O’Toole as opposition leader.  This is a great first step in Canadian politics for the working class.

Erin O’Toole was a pathetically weak voice who refused to stand boldly on behalf of the working-class protestors.

Middle Canada has risen up and said enough, it is time for the insufferable government regulations to end and normal people to regain their freedom and liberty.

Instead of accepting the role of advocacy for the constituents he proclaimed to represent, Erin O’Toole showed his alignment with the government oppressing the people.

It is often said that times of great consequence create moments that must be recognized by strong political leaders.

Not only did O’Toole fail to realize the moment and fail to capitalize on the opportunity the truckers had brought to his office, but he also openly opposed the commonsense voice of the people.  Today he was removed by a vote of 73 to 45.

One hundred eighteen of the opposition MPs were present to remove him from party leadership.  This is what representative government should look like; notwithstanding the need to look even more closely at those who voted to keep him around.

Yes, in the larger analysis, the truckers gained a massive victory today by removing a political pontificating pustule of pomposity.  Well Done!

Canadian state media is sad to see their side lose such principled and controlled opposition.

(State Media CBC) – […] O’Toole, a four-term Ontario MP who has fought only one federal election campaign as the party’s leader, will be replaced by an interim leader later today after another caucus vote.

After the vote was over, O’Toole officially resigned his post in a letter to Rob Batherson, the president of the Conservative Party of Canada, according to a source with knowledge of the decision.

In a resignation video posted to Twitter, O’Toole described his time as Conservative leader as “the honour of a lifetime” — before warning that “Canada is in a dire moment of our history.”

[…] Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet each acknowledged O’Toole during question period on Wednesday.

“There is a lot we don’t agree on for the direction of this country, but he stepped up to serve his country and I want to thank him for his sacrifice,” Trudeau said. (read more)

Who among the Canadian political class will now stand with the truckers, with The People?

Who will listen to the voices of Middle Canada and rise to the occasion?

Who will stand with the movement and lead the working Canadian people to freedom?

Who is the person of courage that can deserve their support?

If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.

By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.

No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!

Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is Saint Crispian.”

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say “These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.”
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembred.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall neer go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he neer so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accursd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

This is the time in the history of government when the core, central and basic topic of FREEDOM is being eroded.

This is not a time for pastels.  This is a time for bold contrasts.

The Western values of representative government either support the basic tenet that people should be free, or that government does not.  There is no middle ground.

We cannot be partially adherent to tyranny when the systems of government are demanding obedience to forced medical procedures. At this moment of consequence, we are either free to reject medical treatment – or we are not free.  There is no middle ground.

We are either free, as unique individuals to move around our own country without some arbitrary registration process, or we are not free.  There is no middle ground.

The premise of “papers please” is either rejected, or it is accepted.  There is no middle ground.

These are the core tenets that must be determined, argued, fought about, defended and decided.  There is no room for quisling prose or the parsing of personage amid the discussion.

This is not a debate for the soft consideration about the tender sensibilities of small voices.

Hell, this is a debate that should never have been a debate, but here it is.

Knock, Knock – Wakey, Wakey – Honk, Honk.

Every conservative politician must now, in this moment of extreme significance, rise to the needs of this damned occasion, fight for freedom like they are the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark, or get the hell out of the way and let the people with dirty fingernails decide the outcome.

The moment is now.  The moment, this moment, is what the truckers of Canada and the free people around the world who support them are trying to force upon unwilling government leadership around the world.

Every conservative politician in Canada should be forced to look at this little girl and justify their action or lack thereof.

There is no middle ground.

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!

Indeed, they are my lady. Indeed they are.

Here It Comes, ADP Reporting a Massive Loss in January Jobs of 301,000


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 2, 2022 | Sundance | 227 Comments

The business and financial wires are melting down today as ADP Payrolls, the nation’s largest private sector payroll providing service, releases data from January showing a drop of 301,000 jobs.  [ADP Raw Data Here]

The financial, economic and business pundits are completely caught off guard and using the words “shocked”, “unexpected” and “surprised,” within their analysis.  These employment numbers just don’t align with an economy growing at 6.9%, as measured by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).  However, for CTH readers who have carefully scrutinized the economic claims and looked at the bigger picture through the prism of kitchen table checkbook economics, these results are not a surprise.

Every sector of the employment picture on Main Street USA is hit.  The pundits, following the narrative first seeded by the White House on Monday, are pointing to Omicron as the justification inside their review.  That’s nonsense.  For the better part of seven months these same pundits first claimed Delta, then shifted to Omicron as a way to explain the structurally weak economy.  All of that is nonsense.

What we are witnessing are the outcomes of massive inflation now hitting the labor market.  A drop in demand, and a subsequent drop in the employment of goods and services, is an unavoidable outcome of inflationary pressure on wages.

Let me say it again, on a macro level, natural consumer DEMAND has dropped – we are only now starting to see it surfacing in the statistical measures.

This is why White House spokesperson Jen Psaki made that weird statement on Monday.

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 January 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 Jennifer Psaki received the briefing material last Monday.

The real dynamic inside the economy has been hidden by federal spending, bailouts and payroll support.  However, that spending has contributed to the inflation that is creating the need for federal subsidies.   We are in a circular economic argument created by White House economic policy.

(Reuters) […] Economic growth slowed in January, with an Institute for Supply Management survey on Tuesday showing its measure of national factory activity falling to a 14-month low.

The economy grew at a 6.9% annualized rate in the fourth quarter, helping to boost overall growth in 2021 to 5.7%, the strongest performance since 1984. Growth estimates for the first quarter are mostly below a 2.0% rate.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey published in mid-January, 8.8 million people reported not being at work because of coronavirus-related reasons between Dec. 29 and Jan. 10. This has left some economists bracing for a decline on Friday in the nonfarm payrolls count for January.

According to a Reuters survey of economists, nonfarm payrolls likely increased by 150,000 jobs last month. Estimates range from a decrease of 400,000 to an increase of 385,000. The economy created 199,000 jobs in December, the fewest in a year.

The White House has been frantically trying to prepare the nation for a disappointing payrolls number, with several officials offering a preview of the report. (read more)

The employment situation has absolutely nothing to do with Omicron.  However, Omicron provides a plausible cover story so long as people believe the propaganda pushed by financial media trying to protect the white house.

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.

ADP Payroll infographic 1

We are in the inflation hurricane right now.

The good news is… if domestic demand continues naturally contracting, due to unsustainable inflation, eventually prices will have to stabilize.  It seems counterintuitive, but a strong cash position is valuable despite inflation right now.

Inflation will continue hitting wages hard, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.  If you have prepared to ride out this storm of inflation, we should see things start to turn around in about six months.  Unfortunately, between now and then, there will be significant job losses as inventories continue to build and sales get stagnant.

Prices on fast turn consumable goods like food, fuel, energy etc. will never return to their pre-inflationary price.  The high prices on highly consumable products are here to stay and will never decline.  Unfortunately, there are several indicators that those prices will go even higher throughout the next six months until they plateau mid-summer.

However, on the backside of this inflationary hurricane, the prices on long-term durable goods will start dropping sooner as consumer demand continues to focus on prioritization of spending and employment becomes more tenuous.

CNN President Jeff Zucker Resigns After Being Caught Lying About Long-Term Intimate Relationship with CNN Executive Allison Gollust


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 2, 2022 | Sundance | 455 Comments

Jeff Zucker abruptly resigned from CNN releasing a statement: “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,” Mr. Zucker wrote. “I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.”

Apparently, Jeff Zucker has been involved in a long-term relationship with a woman named Allison Gollust as she worked her way through the ranks at CNN throughout her career.

Ms. Gollust is currently CNN’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer, positioning her as one of the highest-ranking leaders within the network, closely involved in major business and communications decisions.

Ms. Gollust said in another statement Wednesday she was remaining in her role at CNN: “Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years,” she wrote. “Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn’t disclose it at the right time. I’m incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do every day.”

Essentially, what appears to have taken place is then married Jeff Zucker and then married Allison Gollust beginning a relationship many years ago, and Zucker advancing Gollust throughout her career, even to the point of her physical location living above him.   Both of them eventually divorced from their respective spouses, and yet the network, or at least the board of directors, was “unaware” of their relationship.

Interestingly, RadarOnline wrote about Gollust and Zucker a month ago as it pertains to the firing of Chris Cuomo and the fight over a subsequent exit package of compensation {Read Here}.   The RadarOnline article tells the story of the real dynamic, and in hindsight, their suspicions are almost certainly accurate now:

[…] “The talk in the corridors of CNN about Jeff and Allison’s purported relationship complicates the sticky decision to fire Chris,” said one highly placed source. “Have they sullied the network’s reputation? One could argue they have; it just hasn’t been made public yet.”

It also calls into question the hypocrisy of Zucker and Gollust who initially stood by Cuomo when it emerged he rushed to the aid of his embattled brother, the former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Gollust, a veteran public relations expert, once worked as the Democratic lawmaker’s communications director, and rumor mongers inside CNN HQ told Radar that her past job with Cuomo and claims of a romantic relationship raise questions about why Zucker initially protected the embattled brothers.

The alleged affair is said to have begun while the pair were both married: Zucker to wife Caryn and Gollust to husband Billy. Five years after Gollust joined CNN, Zucker announced he and his wife had split after 21 years of marriage. It was said they had simply “grown apart” and the marriage had been dead for 10 years. (read more)

It’s all an internecine mess but explains the situation.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, a media personality very familiar with sexual relationships as a technique to advance in positions of broadcast power and network influence, notes the scale of what Zucker did to keep Gollust around will likely shock CNN followers.  It appears Ms. Kelly has some details of her own; after all, she was heavily recruited by CNN after Kelly announced her departure from Fox.

Former KGB Informant: Political Prostitutes are Useful Idiots


Armstrong Economics Blog/New Norm Re-Posted Feb 2, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Yuri Bezmenov, former USSR KGB informant who defected to Canada, explains how rhetoric can destabilize the Western economy with Marxist ideology. It only takes four steps to destroy society: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization.

1.) Demoralization – This typically occurs in the span of 15-20 years as it takes time to re-educate the youth to believe in values contrary to tradition.

2.) Destabilization – Once a generation has been demoralized, it takes another 2-5 years to destabilize a nation’s economy, foreign relations, and defense system. Hunt out the sympathizers and introduce the welfare state to make the people reliant on the government.

3.) Crisis – This stage only takes six months as the results are rapid. Create a crisis, introduce war, fear, and terror. Cause the people to look toward the government for comfort amid desperation.

4.) Normalization – The powers granted to the government are now a normal part of life. Liberties have been surrendered to the government to solve the problem that the government created. Dissidents are seen as a disposable threat, and the world is expected to accept the new way of life as normal.

Saskatchewan Premier to Remove Vaccine Mandate


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 2, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

(Click on image above for better resolution)

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has heard the cries of the people and responded accordingly. “My government supports your call to end the cross border ban on unvaccinated truckers,” he said. “And it is why, in the not too-distant future, our government will be ending our proof of negative test/proof of vaccination policy in Saskatchewan.”

Moe, who is fully vaccinated, said that he believes vaccinations are effective but does not believe in forced mandates. “Because vaccination is not reducing transmission, the current federal border policy for truckers makes no sense,” Moe said in his letter. “An unvaccinated trucker does not pose any greater risk of transmission than a vaccinated trucker.” Finally, a politician speaking openly and honestly. An unvaccinated trucker, worker, student, customer, or anyone for that matter does not pose any greater risk of transmission than the vaccinated. The mandate is meaningless.

Furthermore, Moe called the vaccine mandate an economic liability. “The current federal policy does pose a significant risk to Canada’s economy and to the supply chain in our Saskatchewan communities,” Moe wrote. “This federal policy will increase the cost of living, which is now rising at a rate that is creating significant hardship for many Canadians.”

The vaccine mandate is causing harm to the economy, workforce, and overall ways of life. I commend the Freedom Convoy for protesting successfully and making real changes through civil disobedience.

Confidence in COVID Narrative Wanes


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Feb 2, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center conducted a survey where it polled 1,656 adults about their views on the leading health agencies shaping the COVID narrative. Only 65% stated that they trusted Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). This comes as no surprise considering he constantly changes the narrative and is attempting to push us into the junior year of the pandemic. Over one-third (35%) said they are not confident in Fauci at all, an increase from 29% in April 2021.

As for the Centers of Disease Control, only 72% remain confident in its guidance. In April 2021, 89% of Democratic voters blindly believed in the CDC compared to only 89% now. Around 88% of Democrats have confidence in Fauci, which is significantly down from the 92% reading in April of last year. Republicans have always been a bit more hesitant of the news coming from the all-powerful health agencies. Only 54% of Republican voters trust the FDA compared to 63% in November 2021.

Between funding gain of function research, conducting horrific tests on puppies, constantly changing the rules, and forcing the people to abandon their freedoms, it is a true wonder how Fauci has managed to keep his job let alone the trust of the public. The harsh reality is that the CDC, NIH, FDA, Fauci, and all the other “experts” have been lying to you.

COVID Restrictions Collapsing – Resistance Was NOT Futile


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Feb 1, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

As we head into the March Turning point on the ECM, we have reached the critical point where I have been warning that Schwab and his evil agenda is collapsing. Resistance Was NOT Futile. These morons with their Climate Change Agenda have been shutting down energy everywhere they can long before there are any alternatives. Just look at the details if you put solar panels on your home. Yes, you create excess energy that goes back into a bank to reduce your bill. However, if the grid goes down, you cannot pull that energy back to keep your house running and the solar panels will not work. You need a battery to store the energy on your own site but the storage capacity is minimal. Bottom line, you still need a generator if the power goes down and that needs Gas or fossil fuels. Then replacing all cars with electricity will crash the power grid for we are nowhere near being able to end fossil fuels.

This entire agenda is nonsense and being able to use alternatives is more than a decade away. These people are looking at ideas rather than real science.  Here is Schwab’s video celebrating how great it was to lock down the entire world. This man is highly dangerous to humanity as a whole.
