Energy Secretary Touting Biden’s Oil Release Doesn’t Know How Many Barrels of Oil We Use Or Need


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 23, 2021 | Sundance | 380 Comments

Eh, this is awkward… and simultaneously so typical of the current administration.   The White House trotted Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to the microphones today to tell the DC stenographers how brilliant, beneficial and strategically necessary it is to release 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an effort to lower gasoline prices.  The enthusiastic Energy Secretary read the script, gave her talking points and then took questions.

However, after spending 15 minutes talking about the strategic brilliance of the 50 million barrel release, one of the stenographers accidentally asked: “that said, how many barrels of oil do U.S. consumers use every day?”…   Granholm paused, looked down and said: “I don’t have that number in front of me, I’m sorry“…  WATCH:

♦ The amount we are giving you is so incredible and brilliant it will make everyone’s lives better.  The best ever.

♦ How much do we need?

♦ I don’t know. We didn’t get that information.  But the amount we are giving is awesome.

Yup, that’s the Biden administration encapsulated.

Christmas Parade Terrorist Darrell E Brooks First Court Hearing at 5:00pm – Livestream Link


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 23, 2021 | Sundance | 243 Comments

The Black Lives Matter terrorist who killed five and wounded 20 is having his first court hearing today at 5:00pm ET.  Brooks will have his preliminary hearing in Wisconsin under the careful control of the U.S. Dept of Justice Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) who oversee all U.S. criminal cases when race is identified as the underlying motive for an attack. UPDATE: Video Added

Click on Waukesha County and select Court Commissioner to view.

Due to the high visibility of the case; and specifically because the DOJ-CRS are the primary stakeholder in the judicial proceedings {Go Deep}; the Community Relations Service has provided a court order instructing the Waukesha judiciary how they must engage/control media access.  [Media Instructions Here]  The CRS provides the template and Chief Judge Jennifer Dorow signed the order.

The primary concern for the CRS, aka ‘federal peacekeepers‘ is control over the national media narrative.  The techniques behind the court order are familiar.

The DC system operators have used racial division for their own benefit for decades; however, the peacekeeper deployment has been refined, updated and refreshed with the advent of technology and social media.

The CRS primarily focuses on clouding, obfuscating and hiding motives from violent race-based attacks.  They will take a small innocuous possibility and expand it into the larger talking points if that helps to deflect attention away from the real racial motive of a violent attack.  Remember, the CRS primarily activates when the controlled minority group attacks the majority group.

The CRS stands aside when national media and politicians push a false narrative that benefits their objectives.  When a NASCAR garage pull down rope is falsely promoted as a noose, the CRS just watch and do not refute the claim.  When Kyle Rittenhouse is wrongfully accused of being a white supremacist the CRS do not get involved, they just watch and do not refute the claim.  These examples advance the objective of the cultural Marxists and are therefore not impeded.

However, when a supported minority group attack the majority group with a motive based on race, the CRS quickly jump into action.  That is the specificity of what they do, and the CRS have broad power and authority to carry out their operations because they are aligned with one side of the political continuum.

The CRS use allied media to shape their control over their defensive justifications and narratives.  The CRS also have a massive network within the faith-based community that act as partners for their mission.

The African Methodist Episcopal church (AME) is a major partner for the CRS in their objectives.  Their relationship goes back to the civil rights era, before the CRS was corrupted for unilateral political benefit.  There is also a large network of nationwide community activist groups who are part of the CRS rolodex.  The federal peacekeeper reach is massive and, because of the cultural sensitivity they use as a weapon, it is virtually unchallenged.

What we will witness today in Waukesha, Wisconsin, is entirely scripted by the DOJ Community Relations Service.  The CRS will want national attention on this attack to disappear quickly.  They will coordinate this effort by focusing any response to media on a local level.  The CRS do not want detailed national media coverage, and the media is more than willing to bury it.

Joe Biden Promises to Let Taxpayers Pay for Gasoline They Already Purchased


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 23, 2021 | Sundance | 238 Comments

Apparently the people behind Joe Biden realize the ridiculous prices at the gas pump are going to be a major political issue for them in the next election. As a result, they have decided to release 50 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR), enough for approximately 3 days of demand. [Announcement Here]

The strategic reserve is intended as an emergency supply in the event of war or national crisis that demands we have some insurance measures to protect ourselves. The SPR is the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, and the oil stocks are stored in underground salt caverns at four storage sites in Texas and Louisiana.

The oil in the strategic oil reserve was previously paid for by taxpayers. What Biden is doing right now is giving reserve oil to energy companies who then turn around and refine it into gasoline for taxpayers to purchase. We get to buy it twice, and Biden wants to be thanked for doing it.

The Biden administration is going to lower gas prices for taxpayers by allowing taxpayers to purchase their own oil.  Brilliant!

In related news, the Biden administration also held a call today [LINK] to announce their plan to ease inflation by printing more money.

Grasping the Future Unfolding Before Our Eyes


Armstrong Eonomics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 23, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi Marty,
I write to you somewhat often. Never get a response on the blog. I was hoping you could respond to this one question to put my mind and the mind of other Americans at peace.
It is clear that Europe is falling to the Covid tyranny. You say that “they” will not win in the end in the U.S. So my question is, what is the fate of the U.S. Should I be leaving my career, selling my house, and moving to a self-sufficient farm? Will the vaccine become compulsory for everyone in the U.S. or are they starting to lose? In short, can you give an overview of Socrates’ predictions and the timeline for the U.S.? Will it devolve into WWIII or a civil war, and when is that predicted? Will they put the unvaccinated in concentration camps at some point? Will there be shortages in the U.S. that result in famine?

What do you think? You would be helping an untold number of people by responding to this in the blog. Thank you so much for your time!

Don

ANSWER: I will try to put together a report for this overview. Europe is hopeless. Because they moved to negative interest rates in 2014, I warned them this would destroy their bond markets and undermine Europe completely. They refused to listen. Now we are seeing the consequence of those actions. This video is from an interview when I was in Europe back in 2018.

They are using COVID lockdowns, not for heath, but to crush the people into submission. They are following Schwab’s agenda — you will own nothing and be happy — pretending they are doing this for you when in fact it is the government defaulting on their debt. Europeans should put their money outside of the euro exactly as the Germans were using everyone else’s currency but their own during the hyperinflation.

Europe has no choice. The EU agenda has completely failed. This is why they have embraced Schwab’s agenda. To retain power and prevent the people from storming the palaces of the elite and parading their heads on spikes through the streets, they needed the lockdowns, destroy people’s ability to pay their debts, then sweep in with absolving everyone of debts as they default.

Schwab believes his Fourth Industrial Revolution will eliminate jobs through technology with robots and the creation of body parts. I believe he is trying to accelerate this so he does not die. But just like global warming, they are terminating fossil fuels now decades before there will be any sufficient replacement. They are destroying jobs on a grand scale in Europe also long before robots could replace a sufficient amount of the workforce. They are changing the world economy now while reading comic books of Flash Gordan and assuming that will be tomorrow.

The United States is a different power structure and Biden cannot do what European leaders are doing. This is why Soros is funding groups to try to destabilize the United States and this is most likely going to lead to civil war for he has been funding the polarization of America with the aid of the Democrats.

This idea of recreating the world economy when they do not even understand that it is the people who created the economy, not the elite.  Schwab clearly does not believe in God, like Karl Marx, or in nature. He thinks that the elite can direct how the future should be just like the Communists. People think that communism failed ONLY because they did not have the USA and Europe in the fold.

Such people reject the foundation of Adam Smith’s invisible hand and think they can decide, as the Communists did, what direction the economy should take from a bureaucratic central overview. That has been proven to be wrong so many times, but they refuse to give up because it is their power they cherish — not the people.

There is a revolution brewing in the country. They are deliberately undermining society in hopes of taking over the United States. I will provide a detailed report on all of this and why Socrates has forecast that they will FAIL. Let it be said, I have tried very hard myself to defeat Socrates. But I have failed every time. I did a Solution Conference in 2015 when I realized it was Schwab I was fighting against.

Powell to Remain at Fed as a Democratic Revolt is Festering


Armstrong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden nominates Powell for the second term as Fed chief, as Democratic Opposition to his leadership is rising fiercely. Biden’s handlers appeased the Progressives by naming Brainard vice-chair. The hearings of  Omarova have rattled even conservative Democrats who are starting to wonder who is really calling the shots.

Then the word in DC is that Biden will run in 2024. The conservative Democrats are beside themselves. With Biden’s polls at only about 33% favorable, they are starting to suspect that his administration is about this Great Reset and the strings being pulled are not to their liking. But a president who is mentally incompetent is exactly what these people wanted to change the United States into a Marxist Wonderland.

Millennials Priced Out of Home Ownership


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Why do 20% of Millennials (25-40-year-olds) in the US believe homeownership is completely unobtainable? To start, rentals across the US are on the rise. The Fair Market Rents (FMRs) compile data every year to determine the cost of the 40th percentile gross rents for typical, non-substandard rental units. This means that the majority of rental properties cost more than the FMRs reports.

From October 2020 to September 2021, Arkansas saw the lowest rental costs for a standard two-bedroom at $697 per month. Alabama ($726), Mississippi ($727), and Missouri ($728) also had some of the lowest costs for two-bedroom rentals in the nation. However, people living there typically receive wages based on the low cost of living. On the high side, Hawaii came in as the most expensive state to rent a two-bedroom at $1,798, followed by the District of Columbia ($1,765), Massachusetts ($1,642), and New Jersey ($1,552). Again, these figures represent only the 40th percentile of properties, and most people are paying more.

Gone are the days when people could spend the standard recommendation of ¼ of their monthly income on housing. This leaves renters with reduced savings for the property of their own, and the cycle of renting continues. For those who can save to own property, the property tax makes it nearly impossible to make the transition from renting to owning despite mortgage prices being similar to rental costs. This does not even touch income tax, capital gain tax, sales tax, and the plethora of taxes we need to pay to the government to exist.

According to data, New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the country at 2.47%. Therefore, a $205,000 home would cost a property owner around $5,064 annually in property taxes alone. Illinois has the second-highest rate at 2.3%, New Hampshire at 2.2%, and Connecticut at 2%. Despite having the highest rental costs, Hawaii has the lowest property tax at 0.27%; however, the state demands some of the highest home prices in the country. Alabama (0.42%), Colorado (0.53%), and Louisiana (0.53%) also have some of the lowest property taxes in the nation. To own, expect to have the funds for a down payment, closing costs, inspections, repairs, maintenance, and more. The ongoing home bidding wars and declining inventory has also made the American dream of homeownership seemingly unobtainable for many. This has led to an entire generation delaying milestones such as having children and a family, which, in turn, contributes to a weakening economy.

Salesforce – A Dangerous Company?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Marc Benioff took Salesforce following the full mandate to be vaccinated based on the federal contractor rule for all employees, despite the fact that not everyone in the company deals with the government. This is even contrary to the court ruling and OSHA rescinding that decree. It appears that Benioff is following Schwab and his partnership with the World Economic Forum rather than the US Constitution. If he does not reverse that position, it appears that Salesforce will be the target of a massive class-action lawsuit.

Marc Benioff is up to his neck if not over his head in league with Klaus Schwab. Personally, I will neither do business with nor advise Salesforce in any capacity. Benioff, I believe,  takes his marching orders from Schwab and has committed a public company to his personal friendship with Schwab. But Benioff does not believe he owes anything to his shareholders, but society comes first with stakeholder economics that failed once the government provided socialist benefits.

Benioff’s duty is to his shareholders. If I raised money to go public and then said, oh, by the way, I think I will donate what you just gave me to my personal charity, I think that would be called fraud.

Journalists Refuse to Report on Worldwide Protests or They May Come After your Pets Next


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Nov 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Journalists who are spouting out the propaganda and support Gates & Schwab, have corrupted our society. Here are worldwide protests that they pretend do not take place. Once upon a time, Fauci said we would reach herd immunity when 70% of the population were vaccinated. Now the vaccinated are the people being rushed to hospitals as the immunity declines to other diseases as well. Now the miracle vaccines do not work and so boosters are rolled out every 6 months indefinitely for a disease that is not worse than the flu with lethal results. Now 5 million out of 7.8 billion is minimal. 1% of the population would be 78 million. Car crashes take about 1.35 million people who die in road accidents worldwide every year — 3,700 deaths a day. These journalists are aiding and abetting the destruction of Western society and they seem to know it.

The latest being talked about behind the curtain, we have too many pets that also put out CO2. They can get COVID and also should be vaccinated following the death of the snow leopards.

Journalists Fleeing Mainstream Media


Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Nov 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

While more than 50% of the police in New York City wish they never became cops because of the manipulation of society, and there has been the beginning of a migration of police from New York to Florida, there is another trend emerging concerning mainstream media both in the United States as well as in Europe. I have known some of these high-level people in the mainstream media who wanted to report on the forecast of Socrates but have been blocked. There is a great sucking sound with journalists resigning. The interesting aspect is to what who is resigning from what newspapers.

Nellie Bowles of the New York Times quit and she explained how the news is being manipulated. She said she was sent to report on the “mainstream liberal argument” that vandalizing buildings for racial justice was not detrimental because businesses had insurance. “It turned out to be not true,” Bowles wrote. “The part of Kenosha that people burned in the riots was the poor, multi-racial commercial district, full of small, underinsured cell phone shops and car lots. It was very sad to see and to hear from people who had suffered.”

The entire Rittenhouse divide with people calling this a racist court is ignorant. It seems many in the mainstream media reported it was a Black Lives Matter riot, but the people he killed were white – not black. Has mainstream media deliberately tried to create civil unrest?

One of the editors of the FT just quick because of the same reasons. There has been a mass exodus of journalists from the BBC and the London Financial Times. Mainstream media is denying the truth on every level and we are witnessing the collapse of not just government, but mainstream media. They are pushing ONLY a left-wing agenda and if the news is to the contrary, they refuse to print it.

The FT has been pushing the end of Capitalism when its entire livelihood was supposed to be business. You can’t make up this hypocrisy. There are more people in line to leave the FT. Why work for a newspaper that was founded on capitalism that now supports Schwab and terminating capitalism?

Eventually, in 1945, there was a  merger that created the London Financial Times as one of the largest business newspapers in the world. The FT will fold by 2031 on that 86 year cycle as it is committing suicide. It will fall with this failed effort to end capitalism.

The FT was a newspaper that I once respected, but today, it has become a propaganda rag for Schwab that refused to even allow reporters to investigate the origin of COVID. Was that directive straight out of instructions from Geneva? Why were such investigations not appropriate? Why do they now support Marxism?

The FT also takes money from Bill Gates surrendering its independence and integrity as has been the case at the BBC. The biggest names in mainstream media have simply been sold to the highest bidder.

I have had contact with mainstream media but they are NOT allowed to utter a single word that there is this computer that dares to forecast the decline and fall of this World Economic Forum. The very fact that Schwab is preaching his 4th Industrial Revolution and AI that will change the future would be on point when it forecasts he will fail. The entire Guaranteed Basic Income is the assumption that robots will replace people who will then be unemployable and to save the planet, they need to get rid of the excess humans. That is the unspoken agenda behind these words.

Because mainstream media will not investigate, they would be shocked to find out that these people think we need another 50% reduction in population like the Justinian Plague of 541AD and the Black Plague of the 14th century. The media will never bother to even investigate. Indeed,  the Washington Post’s logo, Democracy Dies in Darkness, is exactly correct. They are the one’s creating the darkness to kill Democracy and usher in Schwab’s new Marxist Wonderland.


Just some journalists who have quit
