US Inflation Soars to 39-Year High


Armstrong Economics Blog/Inflation Re-Posted Dec 27, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Powell’s decision to retire the word “transitory” when discussing inflation was too little, too late. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that US inflation soared 5.7% in November on an annual basis, marking a 0.5% rise from October. The gauge has not reached this level since 1982. Eliminating food and energy from the equation, prices rose 4.7%, which still marks the most significant increase since September 1983.

The BEA noted that consumers are spending more on essentials. The Biden Administration touts rising wages without understanding that this is contributing to the wage-price spiral. Employers are paying their employees more to keep up with the cost of living. Costs go up for businesses and therefore go up for the consumer.

Expect the Fed to finally take a hawkish approach in 2022.

British Government Sending Door-to-Door Compliance Teams to Homes of Unvaccinated or Unboosted


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 26, 2021 | Sundance | 208 Comments

They know if you’ve been sleeping…
They know if you’re awake…
They know if you’ve been vaxxed or not,
So get vaxxed or meet the state.

Yes, the British people are about to discover how non-private their medical history actually is. U.K. authorities discussing ways to send vaccination and booster compliance squads to the homes of the unvaccinated.

(UK Daily Mail) – Door-to-door teams armed with Covid jabs will be sent to the homes of unvaccinated Britons in plans being considered by Ministers to reach the estimated five million people yet to be inoculated.

Discussions between the Department of Health, NHS England and No 10 over the past week have looked at a nationwide drive to send vaccine teams to areas with low uptake rates as a crucial way to avoid lockdown and other restrictions.

It is also seen as a way to get jabs to rural areas or households where people cannot easily get to a vaccination centre. (read more)

The International Criminal Court – Fighting For the People (Part 1 – 4)


Armstrong Economics Blog/Human Rights by Martin Armstrong

Part One

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.

Part Two

Looking further into the complaint filed with the International Criminal Court, we find additional examples of human rights abuses.

PCR Tests

Oxford University has discovered that PCR tests are so sensitive that they can detect old infections by tracking fragments of dead viral cells. “Originally developed to detect the presence of DNA and RNA in biological samples, even its Nobel Prize-winning inventor Kary Mullis declared that PCR was never intended to diagnose a disease,” the complaint states. Dr. Kary Mullis said that the PCR test can find “almost anything in anybody.” The PCR tests repeatedly cycle to find traces of viral RNA and are chemically amplified with each attempt. Public Health England stated that the PCR test threshold should be set around 25.6, and anything above means there is not enough evidence of the virus to deem a person ill.

Conclusion: PCR tests are often run 40-45 times to artificially increase the chance of a positive result.

Masks

The World Health Organization (WHO) previously admitted that there is no evidence available to indicate masks as an effective method of protecting healthy individuals. “In addition to hypoxia and hypercapnia, breathing through facemask residues bacterial and germ components on the inner and outside layer of the facemask. These toxic components are repeatedly breathed back into the body, causing self-contamination.” Furthermore, there is actually evidence that face masks can cause toxic particles to build within the mask. “Rebreathing contaminated air with high bacterial and toxic particle concentrations along with low O2 and high CO2 levels continuously challenge the body homeostasis, causing self-toxicity and immunosuppression.”

Conclusion: There is no evidence that masks are effective against the transmission of COVID-19; however, there is evidence that wearing masks can be toxic.

Alternative Treatments

There are numerous treatments for the coronavirus that are not offered to the population at large.

  • Hydroxychloroquine – 50% reduction in hospitalizations and death
  • Ivermectin – 70% reduction in deaths
  • Favipiravir – Approved only in Japan
  • Corticosteroids – 87% reduction in hospitalizations; 30% reduction in deaths
  • Colchicine – 25% reduction in hospitalization and deaths

Conclusion: Safe and effective treatments for the coronavirus exist but are not readily available.

Part Three

The complaint filed with the International Criminal Court continues to provide a broad-picture view of the various ways governments have used the coronavirus to exploit the people.

INFLATED COVID FIGURES

Nurses and doctors from hospitals across the world have noted that nearly every death recorded is due to the coronavirus. The complaint notes that if an individual died for any reason within 28 days of receiving a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, their death is deemed a coronavirus casualty. The report notes that between March and June 2020, England and Wales recorded 4,476 deaths with no pre-existing condition.

Yet, deaths for the same period suddenly spiked to 49,607:

The complaint alleges that governments have been artificially inflating figures and misbranding common flu, pneumonia, and other respiratory illnesses as COVID-19. To further show that the common flu has been mislabeled as COVID, data from the ONC shows that flu and pneumonia deaths in 2018 and 2019 came to 29,516 and 26,398, respectfully. In 2020, only 394 people died from the common flu and 13,619 passed away from pneumonia.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is englandwales3-300x156.jpg

Conclusion: The number of fatalities from the coronavirus has been drastically overstated. As mentioned in an earlier post, PCR tests were never meant to be used in their current manner, and often produce false-positive results. Anyone who dies within 28 days of a positive test result is deemed a casualty of coronavirus, even if the virus was not the cause of death.

CENSORSHIP

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, and countless social media platforms have removed any and all information regarding the coronavirus that does not fit the broader agenda. “. Authorities have blocked legitimate websites and ordered the removal of unwanted content. Officials have reinforced these controls by criminalising [sic] more categories of online expression and arresting journalists, activists, and members for public speaking about the government’s performance. To suppress unfavourable [sic] health statistics, critical reporting and other COVID-19 content the UK government has blocked websites or forced users, social media platforms, or online outlets to delete information,” the report states.

Furthermore, Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the RNA vaccine, has been removed from all social media platforms for speaking out against the vaccine. “Smear campaigns are being waged against any doctors and scientists who challenge the WHO narrative on Covid-19 and the Covid-19 ‘vaccines’. We are in a situation where governments and global NGO’s have seized control of the medical profession,” the complaint continues.

Conclusion: Media companies are directly filtering and altering public information. Even reputable medical professionals have been scrubbed from the internet. Governments around the world are using the pandemic as a reason to crack down on free speech and information.

Part Four

Clade X and Event 201

“In May, 2018, the WEF partnered with Johns Hopkins to simulate a fictitious pandemic  dubbed ‘Clade X’ (Appendix 12)  to see how prepared the world be if ever faced with a catastrophic pandemic.  A little over a year later, the WEF once again teamed-up with Johns Hopkins, along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to stage another pandemic exercise called ‘Event 201’ in October, 2019 (Appendix 13). Both simulations concluded that the world wasn’t prepared for a global pandemic. A few short months following the conclusion of Event 201, which specifically simulated a coronavirus outbreak, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared that the coronavirus had reached pandemic status on March 11, 2020.”

The simulation covered the following scenarios:

  • Governments implementing lockdowns worldwide
  • The collapse of many industries
  • Growing mistrust between governments and citizens
  • A greater adoption of biometric surveillance technologies
  • Social media censorship in the name of combating misinformation
  • The desire to flood communication channels with “authoritative” sources
  • A global lack of personal protective equipment
  • The breakdown of international supply chains
  • Mass unemployment
  • Rioting in the streets

Conclusion: The accuracy of these “simulations” is more than a coincidence. The World Economic Forum (WEF) and its partners were planning for the release of a pandemic. After all of the above scenarios materialized, WEF founder Klaus Schwab said it was now time for the Great Reset.

“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future” — Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum

The Sovereign Debt Crisis Arrives


Armstrong Economics Blog/Sovereign Debt Crisis Re-Posted Dec 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

While the world is turning, the economic crisis emanating from the SovereignDebt Crisis in Europe is propelling a very serious outlook as we head into 2022. I have been warning for the past 10 years that the situation would become critical. I have attended meetings with many central banks over this period warning that governments cannot continue to borrow perpetually with no intention of repaying what they borrow.

The Day of reckoning is arriving. They have been using this COVID-19 whipping it up into a panic for the shear purpose to bring us to the point where their solution will be to default disguised as a solution for the poeple. I will report on the real state of the world financial system and it may be shocking for most. This is not a question of simple hyperinflation for that even implies that the currency survives, The real outlook is far from the claims of the pundits that keep pitching the same story for decades since the collapse of Bretton Woods. Those in power are already running stories that there will be an armed revolution if Trump does not win in 2024, It would be nice if we even have that long before political chaos upsets the financial system.

There will NEVER be a return to normal. These people have divided the people on race and politics and the key to civilization has always been that people come together when they ALL benefit. Civilization collapses when you divide the people, and turn one group against the other.

The Great Unwashed – We The People Are Seen as The Problem


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Dec 23, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

When the people rise up against the tyranny of government, suddenly this is being fueled by populism that must be terminated. It was John Kerry at Davos who was “warning of the dangers of economic populism,” and added that politicians, like Trump, should not listen to the people. “It’s really dangerous to play to the lowest common denominator of American, of global political life.”

The hypocrisy of this statement is really a slap in the face of what we call a free society. It is OK to appeal to the lowest denomination within society that we need to strip the rich of their toys but it is not OK if someone appeals to the people to rise up against the corruption within governments.

They call Snowden a traitor when he told the people the government was acting illegally against the people. Treason is not against the country or the people but is now defined as exposing those in government.

There are those in power like John Kerry who see only their self-interest and not the people. They have no intention of ever even representing the people. This is a political system based upon fraud. Individuals will run for office and declare what they stand for, but when they get to Washington, they are told they MUST vote party lines.  It no longer matters what someone running for office promises, they are told they must vote for the agenda and in this case, it is Agenda 2030 coming from the World Economic Forum.

This is why there is a movement to terminate the right of the people to vote for anything meaningful. We are too stupid to know what is best for us and how dare we expect that government is there for the people – it is there to exercise power. We are the Great Unwashed! We have no representation and we are taxed, regulated, and oppressed all for an agenda that was never submitted to the people anywhere for a vote if this is the future we want to live in.

So when Schwab declares that we construct the future, he did not mean We the People. We have come full circle in politics. Between here into 2032 it will increasingly become apparent that this is a battle for freedom and the future we wish to leave behind. They do not believe in God. Like Marx, they see religion as merely a tool for manipulation. Believing in God is equivalent to believing a politician will actually do what he promises.

This has indeed gone full circle. There has been a major effort to terminate free speech and Google has been aiding the destruction of our way of life.  The American Revolution was against tyranny and tyranny has proclaimed it has the right to govern we the Great Unwashed who are unworthy of ever having a worthwhile belief or thought. Many also believe in this elitist group that there are too many of us and the herd must be thinned.

Rental Costs on the Rise Amid Diminished Supply


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Dec 23, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Demand for rentals in the US is increasing at an alarming pace. Single-family rentals rose 10.9% in October year-over-year, according to a report by CoreLogic. There are simply not enough rental properties available to meet demand. Vacancy rates are at a 25-year low as those priced out of the buyer’s market search for housing.

Rentals in every price range are on the rise. The lower-priced homes that represent 75% or less the regional median rose 9.5%. Lower-middle priced homes that represent 75% to 100% of the regional median are up 10.1%. Higher-middle priced homes representing 100% to 125% of the regional median are up 11.3%, while the highest-priced homes (125%+) advanced 11.4%.

On a regional basis, Miami saw the largest spike with rentals increasing 29.7% in the past year. Phoenix (19.3%) and Las Vegas (16.5%) also experienced notable increases. Thanks to Lori Lightfoot, Chicago experienced the lowest annual growth among larger cities at 4.2%.

The National Association of Home Builders stated that housing starts specifically for rental units reached a high in Q3. However, there is simply not enough available housing to meet the growing demand. Additionally, numerous landlords are also now converting their spaces in desirable areas to Air BnBs and vacation rentals, further diminishing the supply. As remote work becomes prominent in American culture, people are flocking to the suburbs and areas that were not designed to host a growing population.

The Economy is Doing So Well, the White House Extends Loan Repayment Freeze for 90 Days


Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 22, 2021 | Sundance | 132 Comments

The White House occupant cannot afford to lose the little support he has left from the fractured sheeple masses and special interest groups.

With polling collapsing Biden’s influence on an almost daily basis, Chief of Staff Ron Klain deployed the puppy strategy. Not surprisingly that fell flatter than curling ice, and making matters worse, people realized to the Biden family dogs are politically disposable tools for optics only.  Add on the rebuke of the Build Back Better spending boondoggle and, well, there’s panic in the corps.

According to the White House, the U.S. economy is doing great, things are perfect and getting better.  The economy is doing so well, students can’t afford or find jobs to pay back their loans.  Wait a min.., wha… huh?

WHITE HOUSE – […] “today my Administration is extending the pause on federal student loan repayments for an additional 90 days — through May 1, 2022 — as we manage the ongoing pandemic and further strengthen our economic recovery. Meanwhile, the Department of Education will continue working with borrowers to ensure they have the support they need to transition smoothly back into repayment and advance economic stability for their own households and for our nation.” (read more)

Pay no attention to the conflicted messaging.  You are not allowed to ask the question: if the economy is so great, then why do former college students need even more time to start paying back their loans?   Remember, in order for moonbat Democats to continue advancing their insane ideology, they must pretend not to know things.

We have another three months before we need to find a job, cool.

Did you know any of this was going on? I didn’t. Florida a Sovereign State? Hell, yes, let’s go for it – screw D.C. 


I got this from a friend yesterday.

Oklahoma is the only state that neither Obama nor Biden won even one county in their last election… While everyone is focusing on Arizona’s, Georgia, and Texas’ new laws, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!!      

Illegals, round them up and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. (HB 1804.) This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.  

Guess what………. Oklahoma did it anyway.  

Recently Oklahoma passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal’s to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional (SB 1102) 

Guess what……… Oklahoma did it anyway.  

Several weeks ago, they passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolina’s, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. (HJR 1003.)  

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I’m sure that was a setback for the criminals The Liberals didn’t like it.

But….Guess what……….. Oklahoma did it anyway.  

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers’ license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English.   Really simple. By the way, the Liberals don’t like any of this either .  

Guess what……… Oklahoma is doing it anyway.  

Guess what …… the people I’m sending this to, will send it on. Well, at least the ones who love and believe in freedom will!

Populism/Democracy Must be Terminated!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Dec 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The LEFT knows it is in serious trouble. This is why Biden had his Democracy Summit, which was a joke. Biden’s polls have collapsed. California is in crisis mode. The LEFT has defunded police, and violent crimes have exploded. Stores are subjected to organized gang shoplifting. So now we find that the LEFT is crying democracy will end by 2024, and this is coming from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, and other elite intellectuals on the LEFT, including the media. These dire predictions about democracy are in preparation for them declaring that the elections were rigged by Trump’s minions. Democracy is dead in Europe already. The people do not vote for the European Commission that makes the laws nor for the head of Europe. Nobody with power ever faces the people in an election. Europe is not even a Republic.

Back in 1985, when this Private Wave began at 1985.65, I warned that historically (1) the first time a non-career politician could win would be 31.4 years into this wave. That marked the very day that Trump was elected. Trump faced opposition from the LEFT, who were so angry their hair was on fire. But Trump’s most fierce opposition was from the career Republicans such a John McCain and others. As I have warned, after more than 40 years of advising governments, what became clear was that in Washington, they do not like anyone in the White House who is not from Washington. They were even upset when Ronald Reagan was elected because he was a governor and not a Washington insider.

Hillary Clinton has declared that if Trump wins in 2024, “Democracy as we know it will come to an end.” Adam Schiff claims that in the 2022 midterms, the Republican Party is out to turn America into an autocracy, which is a government by a single person having unlimited power; despotism. That is precisely what the Democrats are doing with Biden. He is not governing from the middle. He makes Obama look like a Republican. Biden is already preparing to push for COVID vaccines in 2022 for children under 5-years-old. All of this for a disease that is no more lethal than the flu to the same group of people.

I used to respect Brian Williams years ago, but that vanished. Despite claiming, “I am not a liberal or a conservative. I’m an institutionalist,” his slant became more and more to the LEFT, which is not what this country was founded upon.  Williams continued: “I believe in this place and in my love of country I yield to no one. But the darkness on the edge of town has spread to the main roads and highways and neighborhoods. It is now at the local bar and the bowling alley, at the school board and the grocery store. And it must be acknowledged and answered for.”

This entire investigation into January 6th and calling it an “insurrection” is political posturing to use this to claim that a Republican victory in 2022 will be rigged. It will be the Democrats who will advocate violence, for it is their way or no way. Videos clearly show there were other people in there who were not the protesters. There are videos claiming a pipe bomb was left, yet the person who planted it was never found. This is all political posturing to force their LEFT agenda and to overthrow the Constitution.

From the moment Trump was elected, suddenly DEMOCRACY became POPULISM, which was simply unacceptable. Yes, democracy is coming to an end. This is how all great empires die — they commit suicide from within. All you have to do is look at the 2030 Agenda from the World Economic Forum. They have bluntly stated they want to end the right of the people to have any say whatsoever because we are too stupid to vote. “Populism” must end.  It was John Kerry at Davos who was “warning of the dangers of economic populism,” and added that politicians, like Trump, should not listen to the people. “It’s really dangerous to play to the lowest common denominator of American, of global political life.” We are the Great Unwashed!

This is the sentiment in the White House right now!
