British Woman Arrested After Filming Empty Hospital Wards While Health Officials Push COVID Panic

Comrade rebels, a 46-year-old woman in the U.K. was arrested after she posted a video on-line, filmed at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, showing empty hospital wards while officials in the U.K. state publicly the health system is overwhelmed. [STORY HERE]

[…] A statement from Gloucestershire Police said: “Following a number of reports in relation to a video filmed by a member of the public at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and posted online, officers arrested a 46-year-old woman yesterday (Tuesday 29 December) on suspicion of a public order offence.

“The woman has been bailed to return to police on 21 January, with conditions that she cannot enter any NHS premises or the grounds of any such premises, unless in the case of an emergency or to attend a pre-arranged NHS appointment.” (link)

The lady walks through the hospital for several minutes (video below) while explaining that people are waiting for treatment but the hospital itself is empty.  The section of the hospital being reviewed is the outpatient clinic during daytime; and if -as the hospital claims- that all services are overwhelmed, it does appear there is a disconnect between the official NHS narrative and the reality on the ground.

The police moved-in to arrest the videographer after the video went viral on-line.  Apparently it is against the interests of the state for people to see what is taking place.

UK Arrest Woman for Filming Empty Hospital


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 30, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I have received photos of hospitals in London that are not crowded. Claims that there is no space and people are being treated outside in ambulances and the pictures I have seen show that is all propaganda. Here a woman went in to film a hospital in the UK to see if the claims are real. She took pictures and was arrested. You do not arrest someone for taking photos unless you are hiding something.

It is depressing to have to read all this news but it is corruption on steroids. Instead of getting depressed, it is time to get angry. The danger is that everything is destroyed before people realize that this has been way over-exaggerated for political purposes to change the economy – build back better.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis: “Our Elderly Population is The Priority For COVID Vaccines, Not Me”


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 30, 2020 by Sundance

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was questioned today about why he would wait to take a place in line for a COVID-19 vaccination.  When answering the question the Florida governor had the best response: “When it’s my turn, I will be vaccinated.  Granted I am an elected official, but whoop-dee-do, at the end of the day let’s focus where the risk is”

Florida Governor DeSantis and South Dakota Governor Krisi Noem are the best two governors in the nation right now.   Both focused on common-sense mitigation efforts within their states; both focused on freedom and economic liberty; and both showing strong leadership amid a nation now filled with totalitarian dictators.

Well done.

Guess which one of these politicians the establishment GOP will attempt to ram down the throat of Republican voters in the next presidential election….

I’ll eat a rice cake if I’m wrong…. but I guaran-damn-tee you the professional political class will work overtime to try and push decepticon favorite Nikki Haley.  Bookmark it.

The Meaningless Meaning of ‘COVID Cases’


What differentiates the “common flu” from “COVID-19?

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser —— Bio and ArchivesDecember 30, 2020

Each day, we’re bombarded (I’d say ad nauseam) with reports and news of more COVID-19 “cases,” whatever that term means.

You’d think that this term would be well defined, here, there and everywhere. I wish you luck in finding a standard, generally accepted definition of it. If you succeed, please let me know.

But, don’t despair, there’s a cure for it. Big Pharma is “on the case.”

Some Definitions of “Cases”

  • First, let’s see how Wikipedia defines it: Searching Wikipedia for the definition of “case,” at (accessed on Dec. 29, 2020, 6:21 pm EST) in this context. I could not find any reference to COVID-19, or any other medical meaning of the term “case” – none at all!
  • The CDC (U.S. Centers for Decease Control and Prevention); again just searching for a definition of the term “case” provides only such for Listeriosis: No mention of COVID-19—none at all.
  • Undeterred, further checking found a CDC definition, dating back to April, 2020, answering my quest. There, it states, under the Headlines (also accessed on Dec. 29, 2020) as follows : 
  • Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), 2020 Interim Case Definition, Approved April 5, 2020”:
Clinical Criteria

Most interesting, at least in my mind is that “evidence of pneumonia”—by this definition alone—now qualifies as a clinical evidence of COVID-19 “infection.”

Clearly, several decades ago now, I must already have had contracted “COVID-19” already. At that time I felt pretty lousy and went to see our GP physician whose diagnosis of my condition was “pneumonia.” His advice then was: “Rest up and drink lots of fluids and in a few days you’ll be fine again.”

Indeed, having plenty of prescribed fluids on hand and following the good doctorcs advice, after a few days of rest I was eager and ready to go back to work. 

And I had just thought of it then as a “case” of the common seasonal flu!

That truly begs the question:

What differentiates the “common flu” from “COVID-19?”

As far as I can reckon, the answer to that question is hard to come by. 

Both the “flu” and COVID-19,” diagnosed via the unspecific “PCR” (polymerase-chain-reaction test), appear to test for similar or, perhaps even identical, biological fragments in one’s body.

The Wrong Pandemic

What’s of interesting significance in that regard is also a recent report in the journal Nature that states, inter alia, 

“In May [2020], at the tail end of the first wave of COVID-19 deaths in many nations, and when some of the strictest lockdowns were in place, health workers noted an abrupt and early halt to the 2019–20 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere.”

Of course, such trivia is not welcome by the purveyors of the many millions of vaccine doses against this novel covidian type of the coronavirus variety. Nor is it welcome by progress-minded folks at the World Health Organization and their prime disciples (Drs. Tedros, Fauci, Tam, etc.), nor by the movers and shakers (attendance by invitation only) at the World Economic Forum, nor the pharmaceutical giants which may reap great profits from their vaccine products, nor from government entities that may have the best in mind but are, nevertheless, just turning into fear-mongering ping-pong balls of the afore-mentioned.

For another opinion along this line of thought, A. Firstenberg summarized that in a recent post with the title “The Wrong Pandemic.”

With that in mind, please accept my  Best Wishes for You and Yours for 2021!

Countries who take the Hydroxychloroquine or Chloroquine Have Lowest Cases of COVID!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 30, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Dear Martin Armstrong

It seems to me that if a country has Malaria problems it apparently also has a very low number of Covid19 cases. I think the explanation is Hydroxychloroquine or Chloroquine which are used as a prophylactic. Can any such link be found in all your statistics?

Thank you very much for your postings. Your blog makes the world more transparent.

Best greetings and very high regards

U

REPLY: I have never seen any disease be turned into a political weapon as this COVID-19. Simply because Trump said to use it then everyone says it suddenly does not work. If Trump came out and said sunlight is the cure, CNN, New York Times, and Washington Post would tell people to move underground that sunlight is lethal.

Here is the CDC’s own page which states that for Malaria, use Chloroquine. The death toll out of 69 million people in Thailand was 60. Ofm but Chloroquine does not work and you will die? I really can’t wait for the day when the people start dragging their journalists out of their offices and put them on trial for using this virus to impose climate change and Communism 3.0. They are destroying our way of life and they think they can destroy the economy and build it back better in a year. It took more than 200 years to create the industrial revolution and technology boom. None of that was directed by any government.

People starved in Russia because they seized all property and then bureaucrats, with no experience, were to direct when to plant and where to plant crops from a central office. T^hey killed 7 million Ukrainians. This is what you get with the centralized government no matter what form they profess it to be – democracy, republic, authoritarian, dictatorial, or totalitarian.

Fauci Lied – He Never Took the Maderna Vaccine


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Dec 30, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

When Fauci staged him pretending to get the vaccine, it was in his left arm. When he was interviewed about it, he said his arm was a little sore as with all vaccines and touched his right arm – not his left. He has been caught lying about the herd immunity. Why anyone believes anything that comes from any official is beyond me. NOTHING they tell the public is ever the truth! He claimed to take the Maderna vaccine, which 80% of the people report significant side effects which he claims is nothing because he never took it!

80% of People Taking Maderna Vaccine Had Significant Side-Effects


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I have warned that there is a legal precedent for mandatory vaccinations which dates back to a 1905 Supreme Court case Jacobson v. Massachusetts after a smallpox outbreak in Massachusetts. But this vaccine is like nothing before. It is not the typical vaccine built on the virus. This is a RNA vaccine never before used. In any state that is going to make it mandatory, you should pack your bags and leave. This virus has a better than 99% survival rate. We need to see what happens to these people taking the vaccine and that will take one year in my opinion to see what it is really going to do.

Let’s see if Norah O’Donnell of Seattle CBS retains her job for asking Gates a real question are the vaccines safe. CNN would never ask such a question! Anyone who waves his hands around like that I would never believe. The Imperial College which started the lockdowns on the recommendations of their bogus model by Neill Ferguson is in bed with Schwab’s World Economic Forum. Gates is the #1 supporter of the WHO. Absolutely everyone involved in this pandemic is connected to Schwab and Gates.

Vaccinating the entire world is IMPOSSIBLE and at best vaccines are only 60% effective according to the CDC, which Bill Gates also controls thanks to Fauci. We cannot even trust the FDA because nobody will investigate Bill Gates and look into his control of the FDA, which he also openly works with. So they are not trustworthy after rushing this vaccine out with no real independent testing. Who the hell ever allowed government agencies to accept money from private people and then pretend they are independent should be in prison for life.

COVID Madness, California State Authorities Raid Beauty Salon, Local Authorities Refuse Cooperation


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 28, 2020 by Sundance

A slight shift in this COVID compliance and resistance example.  The California state regulatory authorities raid a beauty salon citing COVID compliance demands; however, the local authorities refuse to cooperate with the state intent.

Pomp Hair Salon in Stockton California was raided by state officials who cited the salon for continuing operations [media story here].  The subsequent misdemeanor citation comes from the state.  However, local law enforcement and county prosecution say they will not participate in the enforcement mechanism.

This creates an unusual dynamic as the state has threatened to revoke licenses for the salon and the workers; but what “enforcement” action could the state undertake?

The issues highlighted here cover more than hair salons.  Restaurants and bars are facing similar threats from regulatory agencies: Dept of Health, Bureau of Alcohol, etc.  It is the regulatory issue that keeps many business owners in fear of defying COVID lock-downs.

If local officials break from state regulatory and compliance demands, there’s no precedent for what enforcement action a state might attempt to take unilaterally.

Would ideologically prone state governors attempt to send State Police to enforce their unilateral fiats and face a showdown with local law enforcement?

It is into this dynamic when everyone should remember the County Sheriff is the highest constitutional officer in the region.  A county sheriff can nullify any outside law enforcement agency by simply not complying.  This is a well known issue inside law enforcement.

This takes the blue state (totalitarianism) -vs- red state (freedom/liberty) issue into a more granular distinction.  Within the Blue States there are likely to be contests of power between local and state officials.  It is an interesting dynamic.

Meanwhile… Thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis,  Florida is leading the way in allowing local jurisdictions and individual businesses to make up their own mind about what COVID mitigation efforts best suit their constituents and customers.  This approach puts the accountability on the local officials who are closest to the voices of those who live there.

Until now we have noted blue state citizens fleeing the totalitarian states for red state places where freedom is more pronounced.  However, with this internal regulatory issue highlighted, there may be regional moves within a state where citizens migrate in-state to areas where they are able to live with greater liberty.

The local -vs- state enforcement activity is an interesting dynamic to keep watching.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, Calif. (KTXL) — A Stockton hair salon that was the focus of an enforcement visit for COVID-19 restrictions by the Department of Consumer Affairs will not be facing any charges from the county.

The San Joaquin County District Attorney said they, “as well as local law enforcement”, had no involvement in the incident.

Germany First, Angela Merkel Orders 30 Million Doses of Pfizer Vaccine Outside EU Agreement


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on December 28, 2020 by Sundance

The one constant in an ever-changing universe is the hypocrisy within the positions of the left-wing ideology.

In an earlier reference, Germany demanded the EU stay united in the Paris Climate Treaty until President Trump withdrew; then, immediately Germany went solo and said they would not adhere to the communal climate dictates they previously demanded.

In the most recent example Angela Merkel goes rogue and orders 30 million doses of COVID vaccine from  pharmaceutical company Pfizer.  Outside the EU plan for their collective distribution.

“It is known that Germany has placed an order for 30 million doses of the anti-Covid vaccine, bilaterally, with Pfizer and BioNtech”, which will add to the quota of 55.8 million destined for the country. in the distribution of the 300 million doses ordered by the European Union

The spokesman for the German health ministry, Jens Spahn, said in response to a question during the government press conference in Berlin. (link)

Ultimately, each leader should act according to their own nations’ best interests; that’s the essential underpinning of nationalism.  However, it is a little beyond hypocritical for Germany to lead the collectivist argument while selectively picking and choosing which of those “greater good” demands they individually choose to adhere to.  I digress…

COMMENT: Marty.

You are correct. People are afraid of others. They think they will die!
I have covid now. Positive on monday. Only mild cold symptoms: stuff nose, no taste or smell for 3 days. No fever, no chills, no body aches, no headache, no lung issues. I’m sure i’m nearly over it and can function easily. My taste and smell are almost back 100%. We live in a very different world now. very sad what they have done to people

DF

REPLY: Yes, my neighbors had it and she was pregnant. They were over it and walking the beach as normal. My cousin which was a front-line nurse got it. She too got over it with no issues. Others I have know got it has been the same outcome. The interview I did in Canada when the death toll from COVID was said to be almost 11,000 with more than 10,700 deaths in nursing homes, left the total death toll in Canada to be only 165 people. In Thailand, out of a population of 69 million, the death toll was 53.

This clearly seems to be politically intended to scare people to create political change. It will be interesting to see if a real account of history ever emerges.
