They are Banning Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Oct 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Perhaps people will wake up soon and see that while they have turned COVID-19 into an issue to try to defeat Trump, that is only the tip of the iceberg. Restrictions will continue well into 2021 and they are planning to keep this up to save the planet. They have already called off Halloween. Fauci himself is out there saying his own kids will not return home for Thanksgiving. They are now in the USA talking about the Blue States outright banning travel and imposing 2-week quarantines for Thanksgiving. Forget Christmas too. You can’t take the kids to sit on Santa’s lap anymore. What’s next? Will you need a permit to even have a child?

I know a woman in Philadelphia was giving birth. They tested her and her husband for COVID. He was OK, but she tested positive with no symptoms. When she gave birth, the hospital took her child and would not allow her to touch him. She never had symptoms and only after nearly two weeks with a second test that was negative, did they agree to return her child.

Honestly, enough is enough. COVID is no more dangerous than the flu. We do not shut down churches, ban Christmas, all for the flu. This is about pushing the agenda of climate change. Our models are warning that we can see the protests turn into revolutions around the world by the spring.

Resistance Is Not Always Futile – Manchester & Liverpool Stand up To Boris Johnson


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Oct 15, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has come out and refused to follow the demands of Boris Johnson who is increasingly acting, not like a politician, but someone who has been bribed to sabotage BREXIT and to crush the British economy for Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset. Johnson has not only abandoned the very core principles of the Conservative Party but in more than 40 years of dealing with governments around the world the one common element has always been you cannot get them to act proactively to PREVENT something from happening.

Here, Mayor Andy Burnham has said: “We have unanimously opposed the government’s plans for Tier 3.” It takes courage to defend the people against this political corruption that will eventually surface. He continues: “They are asking us to gamble our residents’ jobs, homes and businesses… on a strategy their own experts tell them might not work.” A truer statement has never been made. This is the difference between politicians who have not been bribed like Burnham and someone like Johnson who has sold out his country for clearly what will be a pocket full of money directly or more likely indirectly.

Facebook Shuts Down Political Candidates in New Zealand Running for Election


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Oct 15, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Less than 48 hours before election day in New Zealand, Facebook has closed the account of Advance NZ/PP party.
Front man Billy TK has called out the incumbent labour party’s anti-sovereign, globalist agenda and is against lockdowns and the covid narrative. He has also called out the appalling track record of the Ardern “be kind” government on poverty, and has risen to the occasion to support the poorest in this election. One Advance NZ manifesto item is an enquiry into 5G.

A brief search brings up nothing nice about Billy TK or the party, and now, FB take down their page. A recent ASA ruling against campaign material looks to me to be possibly political, due to making questioning of the pandemic response a matter of ‘social responsibility’. Rumours were also circulating at one point that their electoral admin was not in order.
Putting it all together this all seems a little fishy to me.

REPLY: This certainly warrants investigation. Even if the guy is a communist, they will still be on the ballot and have an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to be there. Zuckerberg is now over the top and is acting against Democracy. In the United States, there is also the Communist Party. They are on ballots. They have also an absolute right to be there. You can click and go to their site. I may disagree with their point of view but I cannot deny them the right to be heard.

Even Due Process of Law is based on the Biblical account of Cain and Able. Cain murdered his brother Abel and God still gave him the right to be heard. And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother? And he said, “I do not know: am I my brother’s keeper?” And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! your brother’s blood cries out to me from the soil. And so, cursed shall you be by the soil that gaped with its mouth to take your brother’s blood from your hand.”

This is the right to be heard which Zuckerberg and the rest of these leftist social media moguls who always seem to oppress others fail to understand. What they are doing is an affront to all humanity and they are showing they do not believe in Democracy.

These people take money from the CIA and have openly admitted such. CIA publishes a helpful list of press releases on all the social media ventures it sponsors, via its technology investment arm In-Q-Tel. Clearly, there is a serious question as to what is going on with these people. Whatever they said about the Russians, they have done far worse and pretending they have immunity. Sure, they will claim this is a “conspiracy theory” but this was even reported by CBS – at least until they take it down. Zuckerberg has no immunity in New Zealand. He should be taken to court ASAP for interfering in free elections. He is interfering in the elections the same they have accused Putin of going in 2016.Categories:ConspiracyCorruption

By Pillorying Trump, Democrats Ended Up Creating The Ultimate Underdog


The Hollywood, Democrat-media gang-up may remain impervious to their own self-destruction, but the watching world is not

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Judi McLeod —— Bio and ArchivesOctober 14, 2020

Even in the midst of Government Mandatory Lock Down, with some people fearful they will contract Covid-19 from their own relatives, others are beginning to hear the still haunting strains of Bill Conti’s masterful ‘’Gonna’ Fly Now’ ‘Rocky’ theme.

Lost on self-centred arrogant Democrats: Just about everyone loves an Underdog—particularly Underdogs repeatedly targeted by a Democrat-media gang-up.

Deranged Democrats with the help of Hollywood and their running dog media have thrown everything except the proverbial kitchen sink at President Donald John Trump over the past four years.

Every vile smear has ricocheted back to home base, home base being the DEMOCRAT PARTY

Every vile smear from the early-day Stormy Daniels one,  through RussiaGate and Impeachment, all the way to the most recent attempt to frame the President of the United States as the world’s top Covid-19 infector has ricocheted back to home base, home base being the DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Giddy with the prospect of getting back into power, confident that Michelle Obama’s Mail-in Vote will give them enough votes for a Biden-Harris win; self-assured that now they got away with it once, they can lock down the whole country anytime they want, Democrats of our day have convinced themselves that NO ONE can stop them.

With no social distancing restrictions that apply to them, they’re already planning Election Night Whoopee! Parties and fireworks.  It’s only a matter of time they think before they can lay a laurel wreath on the befuddled head of Joe Biden, knowing it wont’t be long before they can knock it off and crown Sen. Kamala Harris as their long-awaited First woman U.S. president.

To the victor go the spoils, in this case, soils.  Democrats don’t have to worry about patriot insurrection, their BLM/Anita street mobs will take care of that.https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPhqU–Mq1A

But it I will take more than a Socialist Village to bury the landslide vote for President Trump

The yahooing and partying will continue as long as it takes to count the vote.

On Election Night, the media—including Fox News ,home of Chris Wallace—will spread the Fake News that Donald Trump is a goner.

Squeals of joy will erupt over the fruited plains on Election Night., from which Hillary Clinton can be heard barking like a dog.

But it I will take more than a Socialist Village to bury the landslide vote for President Trump.

The Democrat-media gang-up are truthfully and tragically unaware that their entire 2020 election strategy has already started to backfire on them: their hate spewing, name calling and attempted character-assassination of a duly elected President has, in the end,  made him The Underdog.

It’s part of human nature that the masses love underdogs.

Not only are the hundreds of thousands who line up to see their president, hundreds of boat and car parades a testament to that, but now Hillary’s “deplorables” are spontaneously chanting to Trump, “We love you!”

President Donald Trump could be the most beloved underdog in all history

President Donald Trump could be the most beloved underdog in all history.

And the epic story doesn’t end there:

What will the seriously disgruntled do when realization hits home that Barack, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Company were on a track whose strategies proved useless; that it was mostly just the Democrats, Hollywood and media who hated Trump while We the People went on loving him?

Just for starters:

Welcome to a new 2020 Hollywood,  where not just Covid-19 keeps fans in darkened theatres from watching Hollywood heroes and heart throbs in mostly empty rows of seats.

Hollywood’s going bankrupt and is selling out to Communist China.

People are not willing to pay for Politics masquerading as Sports anymore as in football, basketball and baseball.

The whole world’s going bankrupt and will continue to do so as long as Lock Downs keep people from getting back to family-supporting jobs.

The Hollywood, Democrat-media gang-up may remain impervious to their own self-destruction, but the watching world is not.

Even though the masses may have to wait days, weeks or even months for news that Donald Trump won on Election Night, millions will get to say, ‘Welcome back to the Oval Office, PRESIDENT Donald Trump and call 2020 as ‘The Year of the Underdog’.

This is the Real News we’ll all be waiting for— no matter how long it takes because at the end of the day we know that “Patience gains all things!”

Election 2020: Benign Popular Uprising Success?


Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Bob Hoye —— Bio and ArchivesOctober 14, 2020

Politically, there have been essentially two kinds of uprisings. Each prompted by widespread dissatisfaction and hardship. One restores freedom and economic success. The opposite has been malignant revolutions; exampled by brutal dictatorships in France in the late 1700s and in Russia beginning in the early 1900s. In these, neurotic intellectuals turned existing dissatisfaction unto bloody horror shows and bureaucratic tyrannies.

Extraordinary attempt by control freaks to destroy a constitutional republic in order to impose authoritarian government

Taking advantage of crisis is not new, and there is more to the pattern.

In Europe, on every authoritarian experiment, the governing classes granted themselves the privilege of state murder.

Since 2016, America’s Left has been using every arrow in its quiver to bring down an elected president. In startling contrast, it now has the audacity to accuse Trump of possibly blocking the next transfer of power.

The most recent successful benign uprising occurred in 1989 when ordinary folk who were unarmed took on an armed and murderous police state. The symbol was bringing down the Berlin Wall, when controlling swamp critters suddenly lost the will to impose authority.

Suggesting hope for the current struggle for freedom.

Another example was England’s “Glorious Revolution” of 1688, which took down the last absolutist king. He had threatened to use French troops (globalism) in England. Seeing the political tide turning against him, King James reluctantly sought authoritarian solace in France.

Regrettably, the past few decades have recorded an extraordinary attempt by control freaks to destroy a constitutional republic in order to impose authoritarian government. This has now become so intense as to inspire another benign popular uprising. Which shocked the establishment in 2016.

More recently, Venezuela has been controlled to destitution

Will reform again be successful in November?

In order to remove any ambiguity of political banners such as Democrat or Republican, Bernieism or Bidenism, physics provides a practical definition of a totalitarian system.

“That which is not compulsory is prohibited.”

Which elegantly covers every political ambition from Communism to schoolboards. And, sadly, such ambition is now using any excuse to overwhelm constitutional norms. Bad weather and another influenza are caused by too many politically incorrect people.

The economic shutdown is the most severe since the 1930s famines when Bolsheviks forced Lysenkoism upon Russia’s agriculture.

More recently, Venezuela has been controlled to destitution.

The point to be made that in full fury authoritarians don’t care how much hardship they create, just so long as they are in control. Personal ambition that thrives on disasters it causes. And the governing classes have become, well, ungovernable.  But living well.

China’s revolution in the 1960s was guided by Mao’s “Great Leap Forward”. In 2011, Obama boasted about his form of community organization whereby “activist government could also be smart government”. The wonders of activism have been evident in Portland and other Democrat cities.

Soviet troops, tanks and machine guns put each attempt at reform down. Murderously

“Smart” is waiting discovery.

Obviously, the Left’s blatant ambition is causing shocking unemployment. With enough dissatisfaction to prompt an exceptional exodus from city-cores being ruined by Democrat activists. That some are voting with their feet and if these political refugees don’t take their socialist votes with them, they could become part of the reform movement.  Without the dislocation of moving, an easier step is to break the spell and vote for reform.

Has the seemingly endless intrusion of in-your-face and in-your-wallet government become damaging enough to inspire another success by the benign popular uprising?

As reviewed above, these have included breathtaking reforms in 1989 and in 1688. Tragically, some benign uprisings were brutally quelled. Examples include East Germany in 1953, Hungary in 1956 and the one with the most hope was the “Prague Spring” of 1968.

Soviet troops, tanks and machine guns put each attempt at reform down. Murderously.

This was one of the points in American Spring published by this writer on July 2, 2016. The rhetorical question about an “American Spring” being quelled brutally as in Prague was rejected. But the attempt to overwhelm America’s constitutional regard for freedom and limited government has been staggering. Even becoming fanatical in using any ploy to depose an elected president.

Quite likely the equivalent has been unseen in some 200 years of parliamentary history in America, Canada or England.

Left, in all its apparitions, has gone berserk

Another question in the 2016 article asked about the likelihood of Trump winning and the answer was in “Flyover” vernacular – “You bet!”.

And the Left, in all its apparitions, has gone berserk. Hitherto, intruding authoritarians suffered little popular opposition. But since being hit by a widespread “No!” the Left has been thrashing around in a tantrum usually limited to four-year-old-children.

Moreover, the intrusion using weather and influenza fears has been the most radical in the senior economy since the last great experiment in authoritarian government in the 1500s. However, by the early 1600s in England statist intrusion became altogether too much with popular opinion eventually accomplishing a great reformation. 

Lately, the Left’s ambition seems similar to the early stages of the French or Russian Revolutions. Which is dangerous. Perhaps this is again becoming “too much”, inspiring another successful phase of the benign popular uprising. Will it be strong and soon enough to win the presidency?

In January this seemed probable, but the use of the Wuhan Flu in imposing authority has been remarkable. Dems are also using the contrived crisis to corrupt voting.

Left’s urgent mission prohibits criticism and debate, while obedience to dogma is compulsory

So, it comes down to having enough ordinary folk seeing through the gaming of fear and the rigging of the electoral system to prevail. Hitherto, elections in the two party system provided middle-of-the-road platforms. Issues were debated.

But now the Left’s urgent mission prohibits criticism and debate, while obedience to dogma is compulsory. With opposition being banned a Democratic win would end America as a constitutional republic—a political tragedy.

On the longer term, previous benign uprisings advanced when the experiment in unlimited government literally destroyed the economy. Which prompted a great reform of, as the Brits called it in the early 1600s, “Tyrannical Duncery”.

Too much of the latter is being imposed these days, but history suggests that another great reformation is underway.

Twitter & Facebook Censoring the Truth


Armstrong Economics Blog/Censorship Re-Posted Oct 15, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; You went from the most renowned economist in the world to a conspiracy theorist and now you are being regarded as the guy who really had the sources about the virus. Your sources about Russia and Ukraine turned out to be true. Your career is a cycle in itself. It has taught me that other sites like ___ ___who used to quote you and stopped are not worth my trust anymore. They seem to have an agenda. What’s next? You say these guys will not win. Do you have a timeframe?

Thank you for being straight when others are not

BK

ANSWER: It has been a campaign against anyone who questioned the virus narrative. I am not sure this particular site you mentioned specifically stopped quoting me because of COVID. It was probably because they are married to gold and inflation and, like YouTube, they do not want to quote people they disagree with. That is dangerous because they then become no different than what we see with COVID censorship. So, I don’t think they are conspiring because of COVID. They just sell the gold agenda and refuse to look at the possibility of what they have been saying has been the standard sales pitch since 1971. There are some sites pretending to be analysts but are being paid to take a particular view covertly. I do not believe they are one of those. Just a difference of opinion and philosophy.

Now that aside, we began picking up the unusual activity in capital flows in August 2019. By December our sources were talking about a virus and there was selling from key players that was very unusual. By January our sources were saying they were using our model to time the sale – January 18, 2020. By February, they were bragging about selling the high but saying at first they did not want to be greedy so that is why they sold. But they sold bonds as well so that was showing there was a deep concern that government debt would get in trouble – not the standard flight to quality. This time it was just to cash.

The economic damage is far greater than anyone expected. The powers in central banks are now scared to death about what happens when restrictions are lifted. So many lower-income people have lost their jobs. They have been forced into even greater poverty. We do not see the labor market coming back until the next turn in 2022. There will be food shortages that expand and we will see prices rise because of SHORTAGES rather than a booming demand from a robust economy.

Trump will probably win the in-person vote, so behind the curtain, they are focusing on trying to win the Senate. They need that to try to curb the investigation into the massive level of corruption.

Still, that said, some states like New Jersey are so corrupt they will NOT allow in-person voting. Everyone has to do the mail-in ballots. There will be no booth voting so there is no way they will have a count by November 3rd. This is part of the plan to be in a position to challenge the election to prevent a Trump victory at all costs. Between November into January, this will get nuts.

These real conspirators pulling the strings behind the curtain need Biden to win. This is about the Great Reset. I know what I am talking about. This is really an all-out war for the future. It’s not that Trump is a fantastic person. This is about he is simply standing in the way against these people who are out to steal our future. Anyone who votes for Biden blindly will be no different than the Russian who thought communism would bring Utopia. They suddenly discovered the only way to oppress the rich was that they too had to be oppressed and surrender all their rights.

The high tech companies are all in with Biden. Both Facebook and Twitter removed the New Your Post because it was against Biden. I personally have had enough of these companies. They have no right to censor the news. They are trying to turn the country into Communist Russia. Free Speech means I may not agree with the left, but they have an ABSOLUTE right to freely speak their position. They are lucky I am not President. I would revoke their licenses and investigate if they have been acting covertly with political entities to reshape the news. That to me is treason against everything the people are entitled to.  I do not agree with Hillary, but she has a right to speak. That is what freedom is all about.

Exclusive: China Had COVID-Like Patients Months Before Official Timeline

Internal CCP documents show patients in Wuhan had symptoms as early as September 2019, but authorities didn’t disclose to the world

R-Posted from THE EPOCH TIMES By EVA FU October 13, 2020 Updated: October 13, 2020Print

A series of leaked documents shows that patients in China with symptoms similar to COVID-19 were hospitalized months before the regime’s official timeline, throwing into question when exactly the CCP virus began spreading in Wuhan, China’s epidemic ground zero.

At least one patient with COVID-19-like symptoms was treated in September 2019, according to hospital data obtained by The Epoch Times from a trusted source who has access to government documents. Dozens more were hospitalized over the following month.

Wuhan hospitals also reported several deaths in October 2019 due to severe pneumonia, lung infections, and other symptoms similar to COVID-19 patients.

The city’s health commission only publicly announced an outbreak of a novel form of pneumonia on Dec. 31, 2019—after social media posts by whistleblower doctors had gone viral.

In a letter dated Feb. 19 obtained by The Epoch Times, a national investigation team set up by the central government stated that it wished to trace early cases of the disease. It asked local authorities for data from all Wuhan medical institutions over the period between Oct. 1 to Dec. 10, 2019, including information on patients who visited fever clinics in the vicinity of the Huanan Seafood Market, a wet market that the officials initially identified as the outbreak origin; details of the earliest 10 suspected cases at each medical agency rated tier two or above (three is the highest); and pneumonia deaths with COVID-19-like symptoms.

The letter stated that nine hospitals, which received the most COVID-19 patients in the city, were key to the investigation.DOCUMENTPAGESTEXTZoom

«Page 1 of  6»




The Epoch Times had access to part of the records in response to the inquiry, those from 11 hospitals.

Despite the collected data, the Wuhan outbreak control task force told media on Feb. 26 that the earliest documented patient was a person surnamed Chen who fell ill on Dec. 8, 2019.

It’s unclear whether authorities conducted any inquiries into early cases prior to February.

To some critics, the investigation appeared rather narrow and came too late. “For such a massive respiratory disease to break out in the area, how come they didn’t track down all other hospitals?” Sean Lin, former lab director of the viral disease branch at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, told The Epoch Times.

“This should have been done a long time ago,” he said, calling the delayed inquiry “ridiculous.”

Suspected Virus Patients

The obtained records showed nine deaths due to COVID-19-like conditions at three hospitals.

Five were severe pneumonia patients who died between November and December 2019 at the Wuhan No. 6 Hospital, one of the hospitals named in the inquiry letter. The Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a tertiary hospital, had three deaths in October. Wuhan No. 8 Hospital recorded one death.

Patients died within a period of several days to about four weeks after their first symptoms appeared.

Xu Zhenqian, for example, was hospitalized at Wuhan No. 6 hospital. The 82-year-old started exhibiting symptoms on Oct. 1, 2019, including coughing fits without an apparent cause and coughed up white phlegm, a sign of respiratory infection, according to the hospital’s clinical description. The patient was transferred from another facility shortly before his death on Nov. 3.

Three other patients at the same hospital also had difficulty breathing before they died. Their CT scans showed blurred markings in their lungs—patterns that match the lesions on some COVID-19 patients.

The files also identified at least 40 other suspected COVID-19 patients across eight hospitals, the earliest one being 67-year-old Xiao Niangui, who began exhibiting symptoms on Sept. 25, 2019, and was hospitalized at the Wuhan Puren Jiang’an Hospital.

Wuhan has 205 health facilities at the community and township level and 66 designated hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients, city officials said in March.

China’s lack of transparency has been heavily criticized by government officials. It consistently refused to allow in experts from the United States and the World Health Organization (WHO) to study the outbreak in the country. On Feb. 12, an official from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the agency was still unable to access “direct data” about the outbreak and “continue to be hopeful that we’ll be invited to do that.”

In a media interview released on May 1, a WHO representative in China also said China has excluded the organization’s experts from the country’s virus probe.
