The fabulously fraudulent fear mongering fiend known as Anthony Fauci was all over television today proclaiming the pending horribleness from Omicron, the latest and greatest of Fauci’s variants.

In this soundbite the vertically challenged little fellas are talking shop about new lockdowns.

More Fauci appearances below, if you can stomach them.

Last week NBC and California media reported that cars were responsible for looting and general mayhem in/around the San Francisco shopping districts {SEE HERE}.

…”Just before 9 p.m. dozens of cars pulled up to 1200 Broadway Plaza to block off the street and rush into store.” (link)

…“About 25 cars just blocked the street and rushed into the Walnut Creek Nordstrom making off with goods before getting in cars and speeding away,” Hernandez said on Twitter.

Today, CNN announces that cars have become even more violent: “Waukesha will hold a moment of silence .. one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade“:

Sunday Talks, Adam Schiff Outlines the Democrat 2022 Strategy Using the J6 Committee – Prediction Tripwires


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 28, 2021 | Sundance | 145 Comments

The DC system is predictable in how they weaponize their branches against the electorate.  As the primary races of the mid-term election looms, CTH also provides a few tripwires to watch.  Keep in mind, when it comes to controlling the electorate, Democrat and Republican leadership, the UniParty writ large are united in that goal.

In this interview the insufferable House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff appears on CNN to discuss the House efforts to weaponize the J6 Committee for maximum political benefit.  The key point to take away from this interview can only be found if you ignore the political manipulation, a shell game, around labeling the opposition as domestic extremists.  The intent to use the J6 committee as a political narrative engineering effort is obvious; everyone will talk about that aspect.

Instead, listen to how many times Schiff notes the committee will provide the DOJ with information they gather.  The DOJ role is where everyone should be paying attention; and by DOJ we mean DOJ and FBI.  WATCH Schiff first:

Instead of focusing on the obvious, look around.   It is not coincidental the people behind Biden and Lawfare are funneling information into the Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland DOJ to use against their political opposition.  The DOJ/FBI targeting school board protests; the DOJ/FBI targeting James O’Keefe; the DOJ/FBI rounding up J6 attendees etc are the visible tip of the iceberg.

The iceberg itself is built upon the aligned political system, the White House included, feeding the DOJ/FBI targeting information. In/around the spring of 2022, right about the time when the primary challenges to establish the field of contenders for the mid term election are happening, that is when we will see OUTCOMES from the DC system building that below surface iceberg right now.

♦ Tripwire One – The investigative referrals from the J6 committee to the DOJ/FBI in the spring of 2022 will be akin to the Clinton campaign referrals to the DOJ/FBI in the fall of 2016.   The appearance of criminal activity will be fabricated to trigger those investigations for the media to cover at length over the course of several months.  The media pattern of “according to people familiar with the investigation,” and “according to people with knowledge of the investigation,” will start again.

The corporate printing presses will all be building upon each other, timed to culminate just before the November 2022 election.  Much of the political targeting will come from the J6 Committee; however, there’s another part that is being built right now that few are seeing.

♦ Tripwire Two – There will be a very dramatic RICO-esque investigation that will drop in/around the same time in 2022.  The targets of the case(s) will be a collective group of people who were at the epicenter of the 2020 audit demand.   The entry point for Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland will be investigations of wire-fraud; and the people targeted will come from the groups who were/are fundraising around the issues of state audits in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

The investigative cases against the groups may be independent in some ways, but the commonality behind them will be their efforts to organize funding for the 2020 election audits (Georgia, Michigan and Arizona as well known examples).

Any entity who did not very carefully and transparently organize their fundraising activity and accounting will be targeted.   A reference for the approach the DOJ will take is the 2020 indictment of Steve Bannon and the We Build The Wall organization [Reference Link].

If you take the language of the prior Bannon indictment and overlay the new target, the wording of the investigative narrative will look like this: “As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in [funding independent election audits] to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on [audits],” the DOJ will say in their statement.

CTH will not go into the details of who exactly will be targeted, you can likely guess the most visible, but this approach is almost guaranteed to happen at roughly the same time as the J6 referrals.   Unfortunately, it’s just the way this newly weaponized DOJ/FBI system deploys.  I would not be surprised if there were not confidential informants operating in the background of these audit groups right now with an intent to assemble information for transmission to the FBI and DOJ.

The motives are obvious: (1) tamp down any election integrity measures; (2) demoralize the MAGA or spirited America-First base of opposition against Democrats; (3) put the Republican Party on the defensive; (4) take attention away from the economic mess caused by the current administration; and (5) provide political turmoil in the ranks of their opposition.

The DOJ/FBI will be used for maximum political damage, and as you know, the professional Republican Party stands to gain just as much by this effort as the Democrat Party.   Similar to how the GOPe supported the targeting of the Tea Party by the DOJ using the IRS, so too will the GOPe support the targeting of the various support networks behind the audit the election groups; what John McCain called, “the whacko birds.”

Put the J6 investigation and Audit investigation together, and you can see the DNC approach for 2022.

Hopefully by reading this the groups can prepare.

Sunday Talks, Allianz Group Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian Emphasizing Inflation is Not Transitory – Inflation is a Consequence of Embracing The Great Reset


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 28, 2021 | Sundance | 126 Comments

FULL Analysis Below Video:

Allianz Group chief economic advisor, Mohamed El-Erian, is one of the few financial pundits who understood President Trump’s purposeful economic agenda inside the America First policy {Go Deep and Go Deep}.  However, El-Erian also has to maintain his Wall Street credibility and, like most financial pundits, has to pretend not to know things when the emperor’s new clothes -Biden economics- are being discussed.

El-Erian uses the lingo of the club as he walks carefully in the shadow of his Wall Street allies, and he has to avoid the 800lb gorilla in the room and ignore there are other newly surfacing mechanisms available to the government in their approach to inflation.  In this interview El-Erian does emphasize that inflation is not transitory, it is only going to get worse as long as the Federal Reserve keeps printing money to keep up with the massive and ongoing Democrat spending programs.

When El-Erian says the Fed needs to take their foot off the accelerator, he’s talking about how the Fed policy right now is purchasing debt (Quantative Easing) and printing money to keep up with legislative spending programs.  He knows the Biden administration will not stop this approach, they are committed to the Build Back Better program, and as a consequence El-Erian knows inflation will continue in direct proportion to that ‘demand side‘ activity.  But he cannot call it out directly – he can only say inflation will continue.

All of the Wall Street pundits know the Fed cannot hit the brakes (raise interest rates and stop purchasing debt) or else this entire manipulated economy (even on a global scale) will collapse; as El-Erian says “plunge into a recession.”  It is a tenuous house of cards the current Wall Street crew is betting to remain in place due to the ideological politics (Green New Deal, Build Back Better, etc ).

In my opinion, the executive suites of Wall Street also know the new COVID variant Omicron is an attempt by the global market manipulators to put an tenuous emergency brake on the demand side in an effort to slow inflation and get people to drop pitchforks.

None of the financial pundits will admit the true intent of the narrative behind the Omicron variant.

We can debate the origin and ideological intent of the COVID virus, vis-a-vis controlling populations via passports etc; however, it is clear at this point that COVID is being exploited as a new tool in the global economic control toolbox.  If money -global economic control- was not the motive behind how SARS-CoV-2 is being used, we could not predict the timing, methods and approaches of government to each COVID narrative and evolving variant.

Globally, the various governments and central banks have been pumping out massive amounts of money; spending into oblivion and then buying back their own debt.  Currencies around the world are being devalued and this is the root of inflation.  The U.S. has spent and pumped more than most, because we benefit from our currency being attached to the global trade system.

Almost all global trade is made in dollars, so our currency is propped up globally.   This artificially inflated value allows the U.S. congress to deficit spend like crazy, and the Fed to purchase the debt via bond sales.

This one-sided benefit is why OBL targeted the World Trade Center.  This artificial system is also why Biden can claim the U.S. GDP is the only economy growing during the pandemic.

The U.S. dollar is essentially being subsidized by global markets.  However, the downside to all of this dollar printing means our rate of inflation (currency devaluation) is higher than other nations.   The world is experiencing inflation from their internal monetary policy, but our inflation is higher than average.   As a consequence, the people in control of various governments need the tool of Omicron, but our government needs it more than average.

The elites inside the World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Economic Forum (WEF) are using Omicron as a short term tool to control inflation by trying to use it to control demand.  The politicians who receive their instructions from the entities in control of these institutions are all following the program.

It is more important for our government to use Omicron than all other governments because we are the spending center.  That is why we are seeing a much bigger emphasis upon it by our government; and that is why the descending levels of variant emphasis all fall in line depending on how closely they are aligned as allies.

♦ When it comes to COVID panic – Canada, the U.K. and Australia are globally akin to New York, New Jersey and California domestically.

♦ What Florida is to COVID panic inside the U.S.  –  Japan and India are to COVID panic globally.

Panic responses from spending allies are being emphasized.  Non-panic responses from lesser spending friends are being ignored.

That is exactly what we are seeing.  The vaccines are a shiny thing.

On a geopolitical level – China, Iran and Russia (adversaries on an ideological level) know what is happening, and to the extent they can drive inflation even higher, they will because they know these massive increases in costs hurt the U.S. disproportionately.   This is why OPEC is giving Biden the middle finger on his ‘request’ to increase oil production, and that is why China is now triggering shipping quarantines.

Hope that makes sense.

Sensing Biden Inflation Weakness China Hits U.S. Supply Lines With Shipping Cargo Quarantine


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 27, 2021 | Sundance | 168 Comments

When you are at war, you target the enemy supply lines.  A cunning move by the smart Panda targets Joe Biden’s domestic inflation vulnerability.

Beijing can see Joe Biden under internal political attack caused by massive domestic inflation.  China also knows Biden is weak strategically, handcuffed by the leftist demand for climate change / energy policy, and Beijing can see the administration trying to deflect from the consequences of their economic and energy policy.

After the U.S-China summit, used by cunning panda to size up the potential for backlash, anything China can do to further gain dominant position is now just a matter of easy chess moves on the board of dependency.

Business Insider – China’s strict COVID-19 quarantines are making it difficult for ships to change crews, contributing to lags in the shipping process that could worsen the supply chain crisis.

The country has a zero-Covid policy and is imposing ever more stringent containment measures as it tackles its latest wave of outbreaks. On Halloween night, for example, 30,000 people were locked inside Shanghai Disneyland after just one COVID-19 case was detected. And in the northern city of Shenyang, arriving overseas travelers face a 56-day quarantine.

Now, the export hub is imposing mandatory quarantines of up to seven weeks — around 49 days — for Chinese seafarers returning from overseas, Bloomberg reported. These take place in designated facilities and are typically paid for by the employers, according to information posted on various China shipping websites.

The country has also banned crew changes for foreign seafarers, the media outlet reported. Even ships that had their crews changed out elsewhere need to wait before they can enter Chinese ports, Bloomberg added. (read more)

The team behind Joe Biden are playing checkers while Xi Jinping is playing chess.

This is the reverse scenario to how President Trump played the leverage game with Beijing.

Donald Trump saw China as the dependent nation in the geopolitical game of economics.  Beijing needed access to our markets more than we needed the Chinese products; and Trump treated them that way.  However, JoeBama sees the U.S. economy as dependent on China, and from that perspective Xi Jinping has the leverage.

Biden will acquiesce to the demands of the panda mask, and the red dragon wants the Trump tariffs removed.  Team Xi will now hint that supply chains might speed up again if Trump era tariffs are removed, and Biden will give in because all his policies make him the dependent.

Place your bets.

Turn off the TV


Armstrong Economics Blog/Media Re-Posted Nov 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

An image is circulating online that shows how the mainstream media has garnered viewers over the past 20 years. The three pillars of rhetoric are logos (logic), pathos (trust), and ethos (emotions). The media has been using all three of these persuasion tactics so that people are too afraid to look away from the TV as they may miss “breaking news” on the next disaster.

They prey upon our emotions (ethos) with fabricated narratives and stories. They prey upon our trust (pathos) with fake experts chiming in on every crisis and journalists pretending they still stand as unbiased, ethical providers of information. Logic (logos) has been completely undermined as independent thinking or questioning the mainstream narrative is now a criminal offense. The media wants you to be afraid to control your thoughts. Remember who controls the media.

Turn off the TV. Seek out the truth independently.

Shipping Container Price Surge Will Result in Increased Prices on Consumer Goods


Armstrong Economics Blog/Inflation Re-Posted Nov 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) announced that we should expect consumer prices to rise 1.5% on average over the next year due to the global shipping crisis. Inflation, fuel increases, and labor shortages are among the many factors that have caused shipping costs to spike. “UNCTAD’s analysis shows that the current surge in container freight rates, if sustained, could increase global import price levels by 11% and consumer price levels by 1.5% between now and 2023,” the UN reported last week.

This will impact consumers throughout the world. The US could see a rise of 1.2%, according to the UN, while China may see a 1.4% increase. Less developed countries could see costs skyrocket by 7.5%. According to CNBC, as of late October, over 600 shipping vessels were parked outside of ports worldwide as they are unable to offload. The UNCTAD expects prices on electronics to spike 11.4%, furniture and textiles by 10.2%, rubber and plastic by 9.4%, and basic electrical equipment by 7.5%. Even pharmaceutical products are expected to increase by 7.5%. There are no signs of this crisis improving anytime soon.

Is Australia Preparing Concentration Camps for the Unvaccinated?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Nov 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Rumors are swirling on the internet that the Australian Army is herding the unvaccinated population into “quarantine camps.” The army is not currently hunting down the vaccinated, yet, but there is a suspicious amount of funds going toward these quarantine facilities. The Guardian has reported that $130 million was recently invested by the Northern Territory into the Howard Springs quarantine camp. Howard Springs was designed as a fly-in-fly-out workers’ camp, but the mainstream media is reporting that the camps will become redundant as home quarantine pilot programs have begun. If that were true, why is the government continuing to invest in Howard Springs?

The Northern Territory hosts two main quarantine camps — Howard Springs and Alice Springs. Their website describes what those housed in those facilities have experienced:

A person in quarantine must;
  • stay in the person’s allocated room, including on any veranda space allocated to the room, unless permitted by an authorised officer; and
  • when not in their room, or on their veranda, residents must take all reasonable measures to stay at least 1.5 metres away from any other person in the quarantine facility, except for the person’s spouse, de facto partner, child or parent; and
  • wear a face mask when outside their room unless an authorised officer permits the person to remove the face mask; and
  • comply with any directions given by an authorised officer to avoid people congregating in a quarantine zone; and
  • must not leave the quarantine zone in which the person’s allocated room is located unless the person is escorted by an authorised officer, except in an emergency.
You are not able to share or hand over physical objects to residents who are not your family members. COVID-19 lives on surfaces so you must not give items, toys, food, activities, or play games like cards with people outside your family.

Quarantine facility staff will remind you about wearing your mask, staying on your veranda and physically distancing through information in your resident booklet, by sending you sms reminder texts and verbally in person if we see you are not following the Direction.

This is a horrifying abuse of power. People constantly compare conditions to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, but this is one example that is becoming dangerously close in nature. They have not begun killing off the unvaccinated population, but they have taken away their freedoms. “Residents” at these hotels may not leave their rooms unless supervised by an authorized officer. That is much more akin to a prison than a hotel. Officers will “remind” those held hostage by their government when they are disobeying the rules. Since COVID can spread on surfaces, people are not allowed to interact with those outside their immediate family. But it gets worse. The website states that family rooms are not always available.

Facilities

Quarantine facilities need to be a safe environment for all residents and staff. The following are not permitted in either quarantine facility;
  • Cooking equipment including, microwaves, electric fryers, rice cookers, induction cookers, sandwich presses, toasters, etc.
  • Alcohol, bags may be checked on arrival.
  • Toys or recreational items such as swimming pools (plastic or inflatable), scooters, skateboards, bikes, balls and roller blades. These will be stored until your exit.
  • Visitors.
  • Care packages, personal goods or meal deliveries.
Family rooms are not always available;
  • The Centre for National Resilience is primarily single room accommodation with no internal connecting doors. There are four rooms to a shared veranda space with mattresses and/or cots provided for small children. All rooms are king single beds and have ensuites.
  • The Alice Springs Quarantine Facility can accommodate families in shared rooms, based on room availability at the time.

The poor children who are subjected to this traumatizing experience! Toys are not allowed. Visitors are not allowed. There is a chance children will be separated from their parents, guarded only by the state. Similar to a prison environment, cooking appliances are not available in these quarantine camps. Officers in hazmats suits feed their hostages three times per day by leaving the meals outside the room on the ground as another reminder of lost freedoms. Bottled water and toiletries are not available. The camps boast having limited wifi service, but it is safe to bet that online activities will be monitored. How could we allow such cruel human rights abuses to occur in plain sight? Sending millions of dollars to these camps indicates that they have no real plans to end this abuse. As the Hong Kong protesters stated to the world a few short years ago: “If it happened here, it can happen to you.”
