Biden Views on Main Street Economics Make No Sense, Even When He Shouts About Them


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 21, 2021 | Sundance | 239 Comments

Joe Biden makes no sense, and unfortunately Joe Biden doesn’t know he makes no sense.  Instead, the current installed occupant in the White House just shouts about talking points the champagne socialists bring up at their cocktail parties.

Overall inflation is crushing the middle class on a cross-sectional scale I have never before witnessed in my lifetime.  Every sector of the economy on Main Street is simultaneously under fire from unavoidable massive increases in prices on all types of goods.

Food, fuel, energy, gasoline, transportation, raw materials, every single sector is under massive inflationary pressure.  Biden believes that he can offset these massive costs to the average American worker by providing subsidies for some childcare, some education and some prescription costs.  He really believes this, yet everything about this subsidized cost approach is wrong.   Listen to the longer version of his explanation (3 minutes):

Despite the popularity of these leftist talking points, there’s no truth to them.

The government cannot subsidize its way to prosperity by redistributing the wealth of workers.  The government cannot stop inflation and simultaneously print money. The high cost of childcare is not keeping women out of the workforce.  Nothing is free from the federal government.  The federal government earns no income, it confiscates the income of workers.

The “17 Nobel Laureate” economists he proclaims support his Build Back Better deal to reduce costs for the middle class are the same “17 Nobel Laureate” economists who claimed, wrongly, inflation was “transitory” six months ago.  They have since retracted their prior claims, because it was all based on nonsensical Wall Street propaganda.

The International Criminal Court – Fighting For the People (Part I)


Armstrong Economics Blog/Human Rights Re- Posted Dec 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

A team from the UK has filed a complaint with the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on behalf of the people. The report alleges that government officials, pharmaceutical executives, and others profiting from the pandemic have violated the Nuremberg Code, committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as aggression against civilians. The 44-page complaint extensively lists the crimes committed by the following individuals:

The complaint states that the aforementioned individuals have committed the following crimes:

– Violations of the Nuremberg Code

– Violation of Article 6 of the Rome Statute

– Violation of Article 7 of the Rome Statute

– Violation of Article 8 of the Rome

– Violation of Article 8 bis3 of the Rome Statute

The document contains a lot of detailed information that I will summarize:

COVID Is a Biological Weapon – Gain of Function Research

COVID was created in a laboratory. Leo Poon. Dr. Li-Meng Yan and her team published a report (Appendix 4) claiming that the novel coronavirus was developed “as a laboratory product created by using bat coronaviruses ZC45 and/or ZXC21 as a template and/or backbone.” ZC45 and ZXC21 were discovered between July 2015 and February 2017 in military research laboratories. Once the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre, a non-military laboratory, published a conflicting report and was quickly forced by the government to retract its statement. “The existing scientific publications supporting a natural origin theory rely heavily on a single piece of evidence – a previously discovered bat coronavirus named RaTG13, which shares a 96% nucleotide sequence identity with SARS-CoV-2.”

Again, all evidence discredits the notion that the COVID-19 virus developed naturally. “The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA has admitted to funding gain of function research on bat coronaviruses at China’s Wuhan lab – despite Dr Anthony Fauci repeatedly denying this.” There is clear evidence that the NIH funded gain of function research between 2014 and 2019. A $3.1 million grant was awarded to EcoHealth Alliance for coronavirus studies on bats. Another grant of $599,000 was provided to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to also study COVID in bats.

Conclusion: The coronavirus did not develop naturally. Rather, the virus was deliberately created in a laboratory after years of government-funded research.

Experimental Vaccines

The vaccine received temporary authorization under Regulation 174 of the Human Medicine Regulations Act (2012). The report notes that mRNA vaccines have never been approved for human usage and the effects are completely unknown. “The long-term effects and safety of the treatment in recipients are unknown. It is important to note that the Corona Virus ‘vaccines’ are the world’s first introduction to the synthetic m-RNA technology and all previous immunisations [sic] worked in a totally different manner, by way of introducing a deactivated or weakened virus to the body to trigger a natural arousal of the immune system against it.”

The COVID vaccination should be categorized as a gene therapy as it does not meet the requirements for the term “vaccine.” In February 2021, Merriam-Webster changed the definition of “vaccine” to include the COVID-19 mRNA injection. Dr. Mike Yeadon stated in the report: “It’s not a vaccination. It’s not prohibiting infection. It’s not a prohibiting transmission device. It’s a means by which your body is conscripted to make the toxin that then allegedly your body somehow gets used to dealing with it, but unlike a vaccine, which is to trigger the immune response, this is to trigger the creation of the toxin.”

Conclusion: The COVID-19 injection is not a vaccine, but rather a mass experimental form of gene therapy with unknown consequences.

Presence of Graphene Hydroxide in Vaccines

German chemist Dr. Andreas Noack was one of the EU’s top graphene and carbon experts who formulated his doctoral thesis by converting graphene oxide into graphene hydroxide. Dr. Noack examined the vaccines along with other experts and found that the vaccines contain graphene hydroxide. “On November 23, 2021, Dr. Andreas Noack released a video explaining what graphene hydroxide is and how the nano structures injected into the human body act as ‘razor blades’ inside the veins of ‘vaccine’ recipients. Dr. Andreas goes on to explain how due to the nano size of the graphene oxide structures they would not show up on an autopsy as toxicologists can’t imagine that there are structures that can cut up blood vessels causing people to bleed to death on the inside so they would not be looking for them, given their atomic size.”

After speaking out about graphene hydroxide in vaccines on a live stream broadcast, Dr. Noack was arrested on film by German police. On November 26, 2021, Dr. Noack was attacked and murdered. His case remains unsolved.

Conclusion: There is graphene hydroxide in the vaccine, and Dr. Noack was assassinated for speaking the truth.

The Two Paths to Build Back Better


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Dec 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

We must understand that the idea that ONLY a war will achieve this goal of a one-world government goes hand-in-hand with this theory that Marxism would have worked if it spread to Europe and the United States – not just Russia and China. That historical view of looking at the past through rose-colored glasses is absurd. Communism in Russia sought to brainwash the people, instructing children that the state was their parent, not their biological parents, and if they spoke against the state, they should report their biological parents to the state.

Russia outlawed religion. The Pope is a Marxist linked to the World Economic Forum who has been turning religion on its head. He is the first Pope ever to claim that adultery is no big deal and the first to demand that Latin Masses be banished. He has been part of the Catacomb Pact that was intended to strip the church of its religious doctrines and instill those of Marxism. Pope Francis’ links to the World Economic Forum are very disturbing, for the very heart of Marxism is the rejection of God.

We see this listening carefully to the words of Klaus Schwab, where he dismisses both God and nature and is really proclaiming that humans construct the future. He assumes we are all-powerful and can reshape the future to fit our theories. Every respect for nature and even God has been rejected. This is Marxism, where we possess the power to change how the world functions, despite the fact that this very arrogance precludes any debate or research.

If there was ever a time when the West is crumbling from within, and the end gold is to Build Back Better creating a new world order from the ashes, there have been two schools of thought. First, there have been those who believed that creating another Great Depression would achieve that objective just as Roosevelt ended free-market capitalism. The second is that to also reduce the population, we need a war to achieve all the goals and Build Back Better as they did following World War II.

Anything less than those two types of events will not achieve their goal. They tried the whole climate change agenda using a 16-year old girl but that failed. They raised her to the world stage and paid for her travel to even Canada in an attempt to get Alberta to stop producing fossil fuels.

They put her in at Davos and Schwab made his movie, “The Forum,” which was supposed to be about his 50-year career, but it became a propaganda pitch for climate change. Jenifer Morgan of Green Peace allegedly authored all the scripts that Greta would stand up and read.

Russia’s Demands v USA

The publication of the demands of Russia for peace in Europe comes amid soaring tensions over a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine that has drawn fears of an invasion. Moscow has denied plans to attack its neighbor but demanded the West provide a set of legal guarantees precluding NATO’s expansion to Ukraine and the deployment of the alliance’s weapons there, a demand NATO has rejected. Putin is displaying force which honestly NATO would be unable to match and Biden is the perfect president to invite World War III because not that he has lost his mental ability to handle decisions in war (i.e., Afghanistan), but that the cronies constituting his Administration are only focused on the environment t and aiding the World Economic Forum’s agenda to create a one-world government under Marxism headed by the United Nations. This is the PERFECT time for Russia to make such demands that the USA and NATO would never agree to thereby justifying the invasion of Europe.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia’s relations with the USA and its NATO allies have approached a “dangerous point,” noting that alliance deployments and drills near Russia have raised “unacceptable” threats to its security. Russia has used this as justification to publish its draft security pacts, demanding that NATO deny membership to Ukraine and other ex-Soviet countries and roll back the deployment of troops and weapons in central and eastern Europe. None of this would have happened under Trump or any other sound politician who is NOT the puppet of Klaus Schwab and his consortium, which includes George Soros.

The documents, published on Friday, also call for a ban on sending the US and Russian warships and aircraft to areas from where they can attack each other’s territory as well as a halt to NATO military drills near Russia’s borders.

The proposals were submitted to the United States and its allies earlier this week and contain elements – such as an effective Russian veto on future NATO membership for Ukraine – that the West has already ruled out. NATO’s secretary-general emphasized on Friday that any security talks with Moscow would need to take into account the alliance’s concerns and involve Ukraine and other partners. The White House similarly said it’s discussing the proposals with US allies and partners, but noted that all countries have the right to determine their future without outside interference. The publication of the draft pacts comes amid soaring tensions over a Russian troop build-up near Ukraine that has drawn Ukrainian and Western fears of an invasion. Moscow denies plans to attack its neighbor.

Dear Leader Approval Rating Hits Historic Low, 66 Percent of Independents Disapprove of Joe Biden


Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 20, 2021 | Sundance | 166 Comments

A new NPR-Marist Poll [pdf HERE] reflects an even larger collapse of support for the current occupant of the White House.  Generally, most media polling is irrelevant due to the bias constructs, however, at least in this poll the methodology is transparent.

The top line is Biden’s approval rating at a new 41 percent low, with 55 percent of adults disapproving of the job dear leader is doing – 29 percent of those who identify as independent approve, and 66 percent of independents disapprove. [Poll Data]

The recent COVID Christmas messages from the White House are not likely to improve the situation.  However, that said, this lack of support for Dear Leader highlights the irrelevance of any pressure that national communists may wish to attempt against less ideological members within their own party.

Wishing “a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm,” is not exactly a message of endearment from the unstable people who currently control government.

{SOURCE}

Comrades, it does not appear that the White House is attempting to garner any support from the non-communists in the country.

The official government Christmas messaging appears to be several levels more divisive than calling people “deplorable”.

Gov. Newsom Worsens the Supply Chain Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/North America Re-Posted Dec 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

California Governor Gavin Newsom is deliberately worsening the supply chain crisis by implementing additional power-grab COVID restrictions. Workers in California now must stay home and quarantine for two weeks if they are exposed to COVID. It does not matter if they are vaccinated. It does not matter if they are vaccinated AND test negative. Some workplaces will allow “exposed” employees to return to work earlier, but they must wear a mask and remain six feet away from their coworkers and customers to let the public know they are potentially one of the diseased.

Around 40% of the nation’s imports arrive at California ports. If one worker is exposed to someone who contracted coronavirus, entire businesses could shut down. Social distancing in a warehouse or shipping yard would be nearly impossible, and this law will affect the entire economy by diminishing the ability to import/export. Governor Newsom’s anti-business policies have earned his state the title of having the highest unemployment rate in the country at 7.3%. How many businesses will need to flee the state of California before people stop voting for Newsom?

The Catacomb Pact – Pope Francis & Schwab


Armstrong Economics Blog/Religion Re-Posted Dec 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: I found your comment on Pope Francis not being the “Peter the Roman” who is supposed to be the last Pope before the destruction of Rome. As you know, the text of Malachy came to light in 1595, in a book by Benedictine monk Arnold de Wyon. Malachy is said to have experienced a vision of future popes during a trip to Rome in 1139. He wrote down a series of 112 cryptic phrases that described each pope in turn. The text was said to have lain unnoticed in Rome’s archives until Wyon published it.

Pope John Paul II has been attributed to No. 110, “From the labor of the sun,” because he was born on the day of a solar eclipse and was entombed on the day of a solar eclipse as well. Then came Benedict XVI, No. 111, who is supposedly “glory of the olive” because some members of a branch of the monastic order founded by St. Benedict are known as Olivetans.

So that brings us to No. 112: “In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit … Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.” Can Socrates confirm or deny that Pope Francis will be the last Pope? Has it changed it mind given thsat Pope France is clearly in bed with Schwab and the WEF?

Curious

REPLY: I did not factor in prophecies into Socrates, for they are subjective and cannot be definitively used as scientific input. They fall into the category of BELIEF, which I cannot program. That said, many look at the forecasts of Socrates as being independent, and if they happen to line up with religious prophecies or even astrology, they are often used as interesting correlations by some. What is part of the economic cycle is that changes in religions indeed unfold with the model, for they are typically driven by the underlying economic conditions. For example, the persecution of the Christians took place BECAUSE Rome was collapsing and people blamed the Christians for making their gods angry by refusing to worship them.

Nevertheless, the Christians typically misrepresented other religions as paganism, whereas their view of their gods was never the same. They did not see them as their “creator” of the world or humans but more as mischievous super-beings who would torment humankind. For example, you would bring a gift and pray to Poseidon because you were about to sail someplace, and you were asking him for safe passage. He was never seen as anything more than being in charge of the ocean. So you brought him gifts hoping for calm seas.

The closest thing to the idea of one god was Sol Invictus which was a cult promoted from the East by Emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD) because this was when Rome was under siege by the barbarians. It was Aurelian who built the wall around Rome, which still stands today.

The name “Invictus” meant invincible, and it was his feast day, December 25, which eventually became the Christian Christmas. The promotion of Sol was the sun god, and he was invincible because he returned to the sky every day. This was intended to inspire hope and confidence that Rome would survive. Even the statue of Liberty has the same sun rays protruding from her head as was the case of picturing Sol.

Hence, changes in religion have always been linked to economics. There was this cult of Sol combined with Hercules, who was the son of Zeus and defender of humanity against evil. These concepts allowed many to convert to Christianity since it was not so radically different.

In this respect, religion has changed over time with the turning points in the model. Interestingly enough, most religions seem to have this idea of a battle between good and evil, which predates everything back to the Zoroasters, who were the three wise men to visit Jesus at birth. This is really why the visit of the three wise men was so significant, for it was an endorsement from antiquity. Yet most religions also had this idea of the last judgment and some even resurrection like the Egyptians. Among the Greeks, when you died, Zeus did not judge you, but he made a recommendation to the Three Fates who delivered the last judgment, and this is also why a panel in a court of appeals also has three judges.

There has been this common theme with variations throughout most religions. What is clear is that when the economy turns down hard and the end seems inevitable, you find major upheavals in religion throughout history, right down to the schism in both Christianity as well as Islam. To whatever extent our model may align with religion or even astrology, rest assured that neither are input into Socrates to make forecasts. Many have seen correlations, but I believe the driving force is always economic.

What we must understand is that Pope Francis is a Communist at heart. He was influenced by Archbishop Hélder Pessoa Câmara (1909–1999) of the Brazilian Catholic Church, who was a self-proclaimed Marxist. He was the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife between 1964 to 1985. He is not to be confused with Cardinal Jaime de Barros Câmara (1894–1971), who was elevated to the cardinalate in 1946 by Pope Pius XII. From 1962 to 1965, it was Cardinal Câmara attended the Second Vatican Council who was anti-communist and assisted Leo Joseph Suenens in delivering one of the closing messages of the Council delivered on December 8, 1965.

Archbishop Câmara disagreed with the church’s conclusion. He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council and even played a very important role in drafting Gaudium et Spes. However, on November 16, 1965, Archbishop Câmara led 40 bishops who met at night secretly in the Catacombs of Domitilla outside Rome on the Via Appia Antica, which are spread over 17 kilometers underground. They signed a secret document under the title of the Pact of the Catacombs with 13 points that were inspired by Karl Marx. This small group of Marxist priests meeting in secret has been the beginning of an existential threat to our very future. Because South America has been unable to rise above Marxism, it has been part of the Catholic Church in that region to adopt the doctrine of the Pact of the Catacombs despite the fact it was never sanctioned by the Vatican until Pope Francis, who has practiced this distorted doctrine his whole life, for it focuses on material wealth rather than on the spiritual concerns for the soul.  Section #10 of that Catacomb Pact reads:

“We will do our utmost so that those responsible for our government and for our public services make, and put into practice, laws, structures and social institutions required by justice and charity, equality and harmonic and holistic development of all men and women, and by this means bring about the advent of another social order, worthy of the sons and daughters of mankind and of God.”
Paragraph 10 of the Catacombs Pact

The reason this obscure meeting was so important is that it was, according to Klaus Schwab, this doctrine that changed his life as he says in this next clip.

(Full Interview)

Indeed, Archbishop Câmara spoke at Davos in 1974. From that time onward, Schwab has been trying to influence world leaders and convince them it is time to adopt Marxism. Note, when Archbishop Câmara addressed the Davos meeting of capitalists, there was a time of economic crisis as well. This was the first major recession which exposed that the idea of Keynesianism proved incorrect. It was Paul Volcker who delivered his famous Rediscovery of the Business Cycle in 1979 stating.

“The Rediscovery of the Business Cycle – is a sign of the times. Not much more than a decade ago, in what now seems a more innocent age, the ‘New Economics’ had become orthodoxy. Its basic tenet, repeated in similar words in speech after speech, in article after article, was described by one of its leaders as ‘the conviction that business cycles were not inevitable, that government policy could and should keep the economy close to a path of steady real growth at a constant target rate of unemployment.”

Câmara, who was apparently the most influential person in Schwab’s life, was an advocate of liberation theology, which is a theory that emphasizing the liberation of the oppressed must be the objective. The foundation is Marxism engaging socio-economic analyses, rather than theology, pushing economic materialism rather than spiritual objectives. It argues for the social concern for the poor and political liberation for oppressed peoples whereby its core is “inequality” materially claimed to be driven by race or caste rather than ability. Câmara admittedly is famous for saying: “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist.”

I do not see Pope Francis making it to 2032. I am not sure if Pope Francis is “Peter the Roman.” Still, there is a serious risk that he may bring the Catholic Church to a major tribulation, as they say, because he is really abandoning religion and advocating communism. Interestingly, Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis on March 13, 2013, when he was named the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church. He did not take the name of Peter, and he is not from Italy. His papal title was taken after St. Francis of Assisi of Italy. Becoming Pope on March 13, 2013, was spot on for a 51.6 years wave, beginning with the signing of that secret Pact of the Catacombs.

Therefore, if I look at this from a purely mathematical perspective, 266 divided by 8.6 is 30.9. Consequently, my concern would be for the next pope which would be a derivative of pi. Since the model projects that Schwab will fail, for Marxism is against human nature and even the Ten Commandments, it would not surprise me if there is an upheaval in the church and that the next Pope will be a reaction to the material doctrines of Pope Francis who is fully cooperating with Schwab. I do not see how Pope Francis’ support for the Pact of the Catacombs does not violate everything the church has stood for through the past 265 popes. Ironically, there were 148 emperors/caesars until the fall of Rome, which was 17.2 x 8.6.

Schwab also says in this clip that he was the first to develop stakeholder economics. That is simply not true. That was an idea that surfaced during the Great Depression, which became obsolete when Roosevelt came to office with the New Deal. This idea was that corporations had a duty to society during a period when there were NO social programs whatsoever. From what I can tell, both stakeholder economics and this Great Reset, where you will own nothing and be happy, come from the Pact of the Catacombs. Indeed, Schwab invited Pope Francis to speak at Davos in January 2014, just after he was made pope, displaying he knew they shared the same economic philosophy. The pope talks more about the economy and “inequality” than he does about salvation.

Manchin Votes No on Build Back Better


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset Re-Posted Dec 19, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Sen. Joe Manchin has announced that he won’t support President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better package. The West Virginia Democrat, who has tried negotiating with the White House on the massive social spending bill, has said that he is a no vote on the legislation.

“I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there,” Manchin said. “This is a no.”

The Build Back Better Act is far more than the president’s signature domestic policy bill or the wish-list of the AOC progressives/communists. While his bill narrowly passed the House last month over the unanimous opposition of Republicans, this near $2 trillion spending spree which is totally uncalled for as some stimulus plan for the economy, includes a number of progressive priorities, such as free preschool, major climate change initiatives and extending the child tax credit. But with that money for free preschool comes federal strings attached as to the theories that will be taught to children too young to understand they are being brainwashed which was precisely the objective of Communism behind the Berlin Wall.

The amount of spending with the combined Infrastructure Bill and this Build Back Better agenda which is fashioned by the World Economic Forum to further Marxism which may yet be called Schwabism is so irresponsible when the economy is NOT in a Great Depression. Not even John Maynard Keynes ever advocated such a spending spree when the economy was not in a Depression. It has been this type of fiscal mismanagement that is bringing down Western Civilization for the AOC progressives hate anyone who creates jobs and thinks the government is the source of all radiance – not the private sector nor the sun as the source of any global warming.

This Build Back Better agenda was floated at Davos in January 2019. It was an agenda sold to world leaders because of the sovereign debt crisis and this spending spree is in preparation of simply defaulting on all government debt. They have the perfect president who is clueless that he is the knife being used to assist the United States to commit suicide with its own Constitution.

Part of this agenda that is being pitched by Schwab that you will own nothing and be happy is a clever ploy to make you think they are wiping out all debt and this is really for you. This agenda is driven by the fact that governments can no longer continue to borrow year after year with no intention of ever repaying. The entire Keynesian Model is collapsing before our eyes.

Thank God for Joe Manchin for he is the only Democrat rejecting this directive coming from Klaus Schwab. The Democrats look at the progressive promises and think that this will buy their votes for 2022. But then what? Do they then create Build Back Better 2.0 for 2024 and increase the spending by $5 trillion? These politicians cannot look past the immediate moment and the personal self-interest. What are they doing to the nation and the future? To hell with the nation!

What about the agenda of indoctrination attached to preschool? Even the Critical Race Theory teaching that white are inherently racists is undermining civilization which is the result of everyone coming together for their mutual benefit. Dividing society by race and religion is to ensure the people will never ban together against the government. This is how tyranny flourishes. They know how to do it for the only history they refer to is how to suppress the people for their own self-interest.

There is nothing they do not twist around for personal agendas. Slavery in the United States began with whites from England being sentenced to indentured servitude for even shoplifting an apple. The Constitution expressly forbids indentured servitude. The English Crown sold you to the highest bidder. Law became profitable to punish people they could then sell for labor to Plantations in America. Ben  Franklin objected and said how you England like it if they bagged all the rattlesnakes and shipped them to England? Only when the American Revolution began did England then send their criminal to Australia. Many people who also wanted to get a new life, intentionally committed a minor offense to get free passage to the New World.

The abuse of this WOKE movement is the lack of any historical research. They simply said Jefferson owned slaves to justify removing his statue. But he inherited the slaves and he was the one against slavery and created the political storm by inserting in the Declaration of Independence that “all” men were created equal. They fail to understand that one could not just free his slaves at that point in time for there was no employment or a local Starbucks and they would own no property to even grow their own food. Jefferson was the inspiration behind the whole anti-Slavery movement. When in 1861 Russia abolished serfdom, the people owned nothing. That is what led to the Russian Revolution which first began in 1905.

Thomas Jefferson’s words “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Jefferson’s views on black Americans and slavery were very clear that he undoubtedly hated slavery and believed that the self-evident truths he had set forth in 1776 ought eventually to doom the institution in the United States.

The majority of states, including New York, were slave states. It was NOT a North v South issue at that time. But the slavery had begun as indentured servitude. To now fault Jefferson simply because he owned slaves in a system that was slave-based to diminish the shortage of labor in a new world, is to ignore the history and a man who was bucking the establishment of his time. Tearing down his statue because of slavery or that of Christopher Columbus who did not create slavery 300 years later only shows the ignorance behind this agenda. Columbus believed he landed in India.

It was Amerigo Vespucci (1451-1512) who America is named after for he is the one who figured out it was a new continent. Yet they tear down statues of Columbus and the day named in his honor October 12, 1492, Biden declared Oct. 11 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day when no Indigenous people were made slaves. European settlers invaded their lands. So to rectify that, all whites should just be deported to where their families came from?

Also ignored was the legal justification for slavery that not merely extended into ancient times, but also explains why the Dutch imported black slaves from Africa when there was an ample supply of Indians in America who could have been less expensive to turn into slaves. A slave was legal as the spoils of war. Rome sold all the inhabitants of Carthage into slavery finally to end their Punic wars with Carthage. The “Slavic” ethnicity of the Balkans means “slave” for they were often the source for slaves from war. Since the American Indians were not the spoils of war, it was legally and religiously forbidden to take them as slaves.

The Dutch were buying the Africans from other Africans who told the Dutch they were the spoils of war to satisfy the legal and religious distinction for a slave. Thus, the Africans were imported as slaves to replace the white trade in criminal labor from England.

In Ancient Times, Africans trained elephants and participated in battles as mercenaries. They would ride the elephants they trained during the Punic Wars. They were not slaves for they were not the spoils of war.

The problem with Critical Race Theory is simply that it ignores history and implies that it is white against all people of color without ever explaining what the American Indians were excluded from slavery. This has set off a serious crisis where they have sought to even teach Critical Race Theory in Britain where the same issues of slavery did not exist. The Critical Race Theory has even emerged on the floor of Parliament.

This entire agenda of Critical Race Theory is dividing the country, which is precisely opposite of what is needed to reduce civil unrest. This is all about retribution for previous generations when history is even distorted. It certainly appears that this is intended to divide the people to prevent a unified uprising against the government as it moves down this path of the Great Reset and Sovereign Debt Default.

Senator Manchin is the ONLY Democrat willing to defend his country against this foreign invasion to transform the world into the dream of Klaus Schwab, who is very much a control freak the very same type of character as Bill Gates.

White House Calls Joe Manchin a Liar, a Deceiver, and Promises to “Push Him” Harder


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 19, 2021 | Sundance | 336 Comments

Immediately following the statements by West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, earlier today, which effectively ends the Senate Build Back Better bill, the White House releases a lengthy statement [READ HERE] blasting Senator Manchin and releasing the leftist hounds from Hell upon him.

This reaction from the White House is exactly what the communist Democrats do whenever they are rebuked.  We should anticipate the extremely angry Biden administration will retaliate with even stronger economic punishment against all Americans this Tuesday.

WHITE HOUSE – “Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances. Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate on finalizing that framework “in good faith.”

On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted—to the President, in person, directly—a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President’s framework, and covered many of the same priorities. While that framework was missing key priorities, we believed it could lead to a compromise acceptable to all. Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground. If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate.

Senator Manchin claims that this change of position is related to inflation, but the think tank he often cites on Build Back Better—the Penn Wharton Budget Institute—issued a report less than 48 hours ago that noted the Build Back Better Act will have virtually no impact on inflation in the short term, and, in the long run, the policies it includes will ease inflationary pressures. Many leading economists with whom Senator Manchin frequently consults also support Build Back Better.

Build Back Better lowers costs that families pay. It will reduce what families pay for child care. It will reduce what they pay for prescription drugs. It will lower health care premiums. And it puts a tax cut in the pockets of families with kids. If someone is concerned about the impact that higher prices are having on families, this bill gives them a break.

Senator Manchin cited deficit concerns in his statement. But the plan is fully paid for, is the most fiscally responsible major bill that Congress has considered in years, and reduces the deficit in the long run. The Congressional Budget Office report that the Senator cites analyzed an unfunded extension of Build Back Better. That’s not what the President has proposed, not the bill the Senate would vote on, and not what the President would support. Senator Manchin knows that: The President has told him that repeatedly, including this week, face to face.

Likewise, Senator Manchin’s statement about the climate provisions in Build Back Better are wrong. Build Back Better will produce a job-creating clean energy future for this country—including West Virginia.

Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word. (read more)

This is going to get ugly.

Sunday Talks, Joe Manchin Confirms He Is a Hard No on Biden Build Back Broke Bill

Interesting choice of media outlets for his final nail delivery.  Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) appears on Fox News to confirm the Build Back Better negotiations are done, and he’s done, and the $4.5 trillion legislation is dead.   During the expanded explanation by Senator Manchin, he points to two primary issues with the bill.

First, it is a massive takeover of the U.S. economy, and the basic outline of the bill details never changed.  The ‘negotiations‘ that were taking place amounted to the White House putting an ever shorter end date on the legislation.   The Senate was giving the appearance of a lower cost by shifting the sunset clause; however, from beginning to end the scope of the legislation never changed.

Second, the issue of inflation has been created by Joe Biden policy.  Regulations, energy policy, monetary policy, reckless fiscal policy and massive spending have led to massive inflation.  Manchin explains how inflation is not sustainable for his constituents in West Virginia.

In my opinion, Manchin is positioning himself for a Democrat presidential race.

It is not coincidental that Manchin makes this statement today, on Fox News, as polling shows massive drops in support for Joe Biden.  Manchin knows he is sitting in a spotlight of an inflection point.  Manchin is politically astute and cunning to the ways of politics.  Manchin comes across as meek and mild-tempered, a man of reasonable disposition… but that doesn’t accurately portray his cunning.  This is his chance to make a big move.

Senator Joe Manchin also knows that Democrats are going to implode, as the Obama allied communist puppet masters behind Biden have a one term agenda to exploit their control over the dementia patient currently occupying the White House.  Manchin knows the collapse of the Democrat Party is his opportunity.  He also knows THE REALITY behind the released Marist Poll [data here] showing a majority of non-communist Democrats want nothing to do with the senile occupant of the White House.

Manchin is again making a BIG club move by positioning himself as reasonable right now.

Manchin is testing his strength.

Manchin will likely be the #1 contender in 2024, and he knows it.

Manchin is cunning.

Manchin is not only reaching out to ‘moderate’ registered Democrats….

Manchin is reaching the minds of registered Republicans.

Manchin is a very worthy adversary…

Iran to Impose Sanctions on the US Over Human Rights Abuses


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Dec 19, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Iranian government is threatening to impose sanctions on the United States due to its mistreatment of black Americans. “Human rights experts confirmed that police brutality in the US against people of color especially, African-Americans, should be considered systemic racism,” Secretary-General of Iran’s Human Rights Office Kazem Gharibabadi. Gharibabadi cited the ever-growing Black Lives Matter Movement and the death of George Floyd for their reasoning. The news comes just days after Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the US would place sanctions on over a dozen Iranian and Syrian officials for their own human rights abuses.

Other countries are looking (and laughing) at America for our woke movements that have led to no significant changes in policy – at least not for the better. Some cities defunded the police, and now they are experiencing a swift increase in violent crimes, including murder. Certain woke cities told police to turn a blind eye to petty theft, and now countless stores have been robbed blind. The head of the Los Angeles Police Department recently told tourists not to visit, “We can’t guarantee your safety.”

Race-baiting to divide the country has been successful to the point that it has reached the international stage. They know that America is crumbling from within, vulnerable to international threats. Divided we fall.
