Give Me Liberty of Give Me Death


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Jul 3, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:  Distrust of public health officials may be a major factor in people refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Nearly a third of Americans believe officials are lying about vaccine safety, a number that rises to almost two-thirds among those who say they don’t intend to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 32% of American Adults believe public health officials are lying about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. Forty-eight percent (48%) don’t think so, while 20% are not sure.

SB

REPLY: This is what is emerging. When politics crossed the line and tried to use COVID to create climate lockdowns and bring in the Great Reset, they lost all credibility. I do not care if people start dropping dead on the street. I will not get one of these vaccines. They can shoot me, and I would say thank you. Fully Vaccinated people are still dying. Six fully vaccinated just died of COVID in the most vaccinated country.

I cherish my liberty and without it, I prefer death. I have been to communist states. I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell. I have seen the nightmare that awaits when the left gets control. No thank you! These people cheering the left have no idea that to target the rich that they hate so much, they themselves will surrender all their freedom as well. Absolute delusional fools. You cannot tax only billionaires without everyone proving they are not a billionaire. The burden of proof is always on you. They don’t bother to tell you that.

A number of people have written in suggesting we ban together and buy an island. That may be a good hedge against the insanity of these people. They have no idea what the Revolution was all about or what inspired the words of Patrick Henry – give me liberty or give me death. There are some things that are worth fighting for. What Babylon Bee put out is funny, but sadly becoming reality.

Is Hitler the Model Today?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jul 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Ironically, Hitler is the model. He turned the people against the Jews, not because they were Jewish, but he targeted the Jewish bankers first as the rich. Then that was extended down to business owners and eventually just get them all. It began as CLASS WARFARE and Hitler understood the value of language. Hitler was a highly charismatic speaker who could move crowds with his words. He knew how to do it better than anyone before him.

Yet, Hitler knew very well the value of propaganda which he elevated to a very significant role in his rise to power. Let us not forget that what happened in Germany on February 27, 1933, was an attempt by him to win over people to his party as the victim of Communists who wanted to join Russia. The Reichstag went up in flames from an alleged arson attack by Communists. This justified the entire Nazi movement and it worked.

This video of the Capitol Siege clearly shows there were government agents involved and the people were yelling at them for their clandestine acts. We hear no word about that. Only civilians went to jail. There is evidence that there were other operatives of the government involved using the people as cover. The Democrats ignore that and it will never be exposed.

The Democrats are doing the very same thing as Hitler with imprisoning 450 people for entering Capitol Hill, taking selfies, and calling it an armed revolution even though the FBI confirmed there were no weapons found. Pelosi and Schumer lied called it an armed insurrection. They even appointed Liz Cheney to their committee who is a Trump hater because her father manipulated Bush to create the Iraq War. There is so much blood on her family’s hands it is sickening. This is the woman to defend the government? January 6th was another false flag. (see also: false flags in history)

The Reichstag was staged and Hitler played on the equality of the Marxists and paid lip service to the left by adopting the name National Socialist German Workers’ Party. He was not a “Socialist,” but he manipulated them into supporting his agenda. Klaus Schwab is doing this right now with his World Economic Forum, preaching “equality” to get all the leftists to support a totalitarian regime. The youth think it is good to cancel people and to censor free speech because they are wrong.

Inside the World Economic Forum, they have ZERO tolerance for error. This same level of intolerance will be applied to this new world order they are pushing upon the world. Make no mistake about it, they have studied the tactics of Hitler. They are not planning to kill all the Jews, but they want to control everything and reduce the population as a whole.

At the Nuremberg trials, Field Marshall Hermann Wilhelm Göring (1893–1946) explained why the people followed Hitler.

 “Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.

But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

With respect to a Democracy they argued, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States, only Congress can declare wars.

Göring replied: “Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Judge Defends Big Tech Censorship


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Jul 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Florida, a federal judge blocked a new Florida law that seeks to punish large social media businesses like Facebook and Twitter if they remove content or ban politicians. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle granted a preliminary injunction stopping the new law from being enforced. The law was to enable the state to fine large social media companies $250,000 a day if they remove an account of a statewide political candidate, and $25,000 a day if they remove an account of someone running for a local office.

The legislation was challenged in federal court in Tallahassee by NetChoice, a lobbying firm that represents Twitter, Facebook, and other online companies, and the Computer and Communications Industry Association. Both claimed the new law was unconstitutional and violated federal law. They argued that the law violated the First Amendment. The court held that the new law was aimed at only large social media businesses, not smaller ones that provide the same services, and made exceptions for Disney and their apps by including that theme park owners wouldn’t be subject to the law. Walt Disney World outside Orlando is one of the state’s largest private employers. The judge held that “The legislation compels providers to host speech that violates their standards—speech they otherwise would not host—and forbids providers from speaking as they otherwise would.”

Quite frankly, I believe this not a First Amendment issue by claiming it violated their policies. At best, the law is probably unconstitutional insofar as it discriminates between companies. I really do not see where Disney should be exempt. The First Amendment doe NOT provide protection for these companies to censor other’s speech.

Foreclosure Madness


Armstrong Economics Blog/Gov’t Incompetence Re-Posted Jul 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The White House and other federal agencies jumped into action as state and local governments began screaming that they were not prepared to protect renters if the federal eviction ban expired with regard to rent evictions. The Census Bureau has warned that politicians have created a nightmare with the COVID lockdowns that destroyed jobs. There are now more than six million renter households that are behind on rent, according to a recent survey. Extending this ban on evictions and foreclosures until the end of July just may be why our computer has projected such a while period is coming especially in August.

The pause on evictions and foreclosures for federally backed mortgages shows just how messed up the politicians are when it comes to managing the economy. This is like letting the kids just eat cookies because that’s what they would love to do. We have the European Central Bank lower rates to negative in 2014 and they became trapped. They destroyed their bond markets which then even sent central banks to buying stocks just to diversify because of the systemic risk they created themselves.

Those in power are just incompetent of ever managing the economy. Once they stuck their foot in the door, if they take it out and there is a wave of foreclosures, they will be to blame. So what do they do then? Put the foot back in the door and suspend all mortgages because they have an election in 2022?

Welcome to the reality of big government. They are simply incompetent of managing the economy for they have NO IDEA of how it even functions. They have added two years of crisis to everyone’s mortgages. They never thought about that. They just did whatever they had to in order to carry out the Schwab lockdowns.

Arizona Audit Volunteer Liz Harris Gives Interesting Interview About Status of Maricopa County Ballot Audit and Canvassing


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 2, 2021 | Sundance | 58 Comments

Liz Harris is apparently a volunteer for the Maricopa County audit having previously been a candidate herself.  In this interview Ms. Harris, while qualifying her statements with the non-disclosure agreement, gives an overview of what the audit team has likely uncovered so far.  Additionally, as CTH has previously highlighted, the canvas is the important aspect to the physical ballot review.

Ms. Harris discusses -in broad terms- how the canvassing is being done and how commercials are being deployed throughout the region by “Protect Democracy” the leftist activist group.  It appears the DNC affiliate is running ads in an effort to get canvassed voters to provide them “voter intimidation” ammunition for the DOJ to use against the audit workers.   But wait, it gets worse… AND very familiar for those who walk the deep weeds.

Ms. Harris describes a very familiar tactic previously used by the SEIU operatives (purple orcs we called them), where they impersonate audit canvassers (and/or election workers) and actually do intentionally intimidate the voter (very aggressive).  The canvassed voter then thinks they have been intimidated by an audit worker and reports that conduct to the DOJ who in turn use that evidence against the audit team to file lawsuits.   We saw this exact type of operation carried out by the SEIU in Pennsylvania circa 2007 as the DNC wanted to keep the RNC under a consent decree (long story).  This is also how Bob Creamer operated when he was planting fake protestors in Trump rallies on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

.

I would not be surprised to hear that Bob Creamer’s group has been activated by the DNC to conduct operations in Arizona.  Creamer was the guy who organized the false flag of violent Trump supporters; Democrat activists who pretend to be Trump supporters and get violent.  When Creamer was caught on tape by Project Veritas, he was removed from the DNC network. {STORY}

What Liz Harris describes sounds exactly like a Bob Creamer operation.  If anyone has contacts in/around the Arizona audit team, you might want to let them know who is likely behind the effort being described.

Arizona Chairwoman Kelli Ward Discusses Results of Supreme Court Decision Supporting Arizona Election Reform


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 197 Comments

GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides her reaction to the Arizona state victory in the U.S. Supreme Court case.  Mrs. Ward notes the how “ballot harvesting” is used by many leftist organizations to manipulate voting outcomes, and how Arizona legislature is working to curtail the process that is rife with fraud.

There is also a difference between ballot “harvesting” and another illegal process used which includes using “ballot mules”.

Beyond harvesting completed ballots, the DNC is now using “mail-in ballots” to collect mass numbers of blank ballots from various locations, picked up by paid ballot mules and then transported to a central processing facility where they are filled out by party operatives before being dropped off at voting precincts or drop-box locations.  More on this process will soon be forthcoming.

Big Tech Now Sending Warnings That Users May Have Been Exposed to Extremist Content, Dissident Voices Must Be Controlled


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 333 Comments

Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, George Orwell was either a time-traveler or he just had incredible prescience. We are all subversives and counter-revolutionaries now!

Facebook users are reporting today that warnings and alerts are showing up on their feeds notifying them they may have been “exposed to extremist content.”  The alerts provide users the option to “Get Support” from some entity that will assist them in deprogramming the unauthorized thoughts that may have followed exposure.

It is easy to see where this ideological control mechanism is going.  Big Tech doesn’t want comrade citizens exposed to thoughts and opinions that might run counter to the approved worldview of the totalitarian state.   It’s actually quite remarkable to see this so publicly pushed, and see them so open about it.

Obviously a visit to the wrong website (your internet travel obviously being tracked by the command and control authorities) will likely trigger the warning.  Visit The Conservative Tree House and receive a warning upon exit “you have been exposed to harmful extremist content”.

I think back to that scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey when Dave Bowman is trying to stop the computer system HAL-9000 (artificial intelligence) from controlling his behavior, control his spacecraft, and ultimately killing him: “Dave, I’m afraid I can’t let you do that”…

Yikes, this approach from Big Tech is creepy as hell.

.

On the positive side of this, the effort is resoundingly going to backfire amid a larger segment of the younger population, they are already using subversive accounts like Fleebook, Flinsta and Fleet to avoid detection amid their online activity.   The rebel alliance will only become more slippery and more focused on the need to approach everything with the insurgency mindset.

Regardless of how much Big Tech, Big Intel and Big Government synergize in their efforts to control human behavior, the Rebel Alliance ultimately wins every long-term contest.   History proves this to be true.  The need for freedom is still an inherent and underlying human condition amid the majority.

As Mike Vanderboegh said so eloquently: “We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.  And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later.”

Rescue Operations Halted in Surfside Florida As Remaining Structure Shifts and Becomes Too Unstable, Biden Visits Rescue Workers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 139 Comments

There are numerous laser guided measuring devices located in and around the remaining structure of the collapsed condominiums in Surfside, Florida.  Overnight those devices detected significant movement in the remaining building as well as large cracks developing in the underground garage area.

As a result rescue and recovery workers were pulled from the building as engineers contemplate how to move forward.

(Herald) […] Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Alan Cominsky confirmed the development during a press briefing on Thursday morning. The agonizing decision, he said, was made just after 2 a.m. Cominsky described the threat of a large concrete column hanging over a subterranean parking area, which has moved six to 12 inches. He added that crews were also alerted to widening cracks and “slight movement” in a concrete slab on the southern side of the building.

High-tech monitors aimed at the tenuous pile of debris were responsible for making rescue workers aware of the dangerous shifts. Moments later, they were forced to lower cranes and pull back crews under the darkness of the early morning. (link)

Before the efforts were suspended the recovery workers had pulled more bodies from the rubble. 18 bodies have now been recovered and 145 people remain missing. These unfortunate developments occur as the installed occupant of the White House arrived to thank first-responders and rescue workers for their efforts.

Biden met with around 50 uniformed first responders in a hotel ballroom. “I just wanted to come down and say thanks,” he said, as his monitor Jill Biden stood closely behind him in case her dementia patient started to lose more marbles. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told the visiting entourage “We thank you for the support, there’s been no bureaucracy. What we need now is we need a little bit of luck, a little bit of prayer.”

The instability of the rescue site provided serendipitous cover for the DC crowd to avoid going to the horrific site of the building collapse. FEMA personnel, The Red Cross, people with the State of Emergency Response Team, and teams from Israel and Mexico are on-site helping with rescue efforts.

Additionally, Tropical Storm Elsa is anticipated to move close to the South Florida area this weekend and early next week [NHC SITE].  In addition to the instability of the rescue site, the weather has been an ongoing battle.

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Voting Reforms With 6-3 Ruling – Justice Alito: Preventing Voter Fraud is a “strong and entirely legitimate state interest”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 215 Comments

A major win for voting integrity laws in the Supreme Court today will enhance the ability of all state legislatures, and further define the parameters and hurdles for lower court activists before they can rule against the rights of states to secure their elections.

The 6-3 ruling (Bryer, Sotomayor, Kagan in dissent) stems from a challenge to the 2016 Arizona election reform that banned ballot harvesting (with some exceptions) and nullified any ballot cast in the wrong precinct.  Democrats and political activists argued the Arizona rules were targeted to restrict minority votes; however, the majority of the court dispatched that argument and went a step further to define how lower courts should approach claims of ‘disparate impact’.

Front row, left to right: Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer, and Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Back row, left to right: Associate Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, Associate Justice Elena Kagan, Associate Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, and Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the decision [pdf available HERE] and strongly defended the ability of states to put voting rules in place that eliminates voter fraud.  Alito concluded the ruling of the majority by stating courts should look at the reason why states want to impose a particular voting rule. Wanting to prevent voter fraud is, Alito made clear, a “strong and entirely legitimate state interest.”

The result is a complete win for the State of Arizona [Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee] and a strong boost for all state legislatures who are currently in the process of creating legislation to combat the voting fraud created by excessive use of mail-in ballots, ultimately the strategy purposefully behind the creation of COVID-19.

SCOTUS BLOG – […] “The Democratic National Committee went to federal court in 2016, arguing that both restrictions violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit agreed, but the Supreme Court decided to review that decision, and on Thursday it reversed.

In his opinion, Alito observed that the Supreme Court has never weighed in on a Section 2 challenge to a law regulating the “time, place, or manner” of voting. Rather, voting-rights advocates have typically used Section 2 to bring “vote-dilution” lawsuits – challenges to redistricting maps that are alleged to dilute minorities’ voting power.

The “core” of Section 2, Alito emphasized, is the “requirement that voting be ‘equally open.’” And the determination of whether voting is “equally open” to all, he added, should be made taking all of the circumstances into account.  (continue reading)

Democrats and the installed current occupant of the White House, a cognitively declining figurehead who benefited from wholesale voter fraud and mail-in ballot manipulation, are apoplectic at the decision by the supreme court. Joe Biden issued a statement criticizing the supreme court’s decision to uphold two voting restrictions in Arizona.

“I am deeply disappointed in today’s decision by the United States Supreme Court that undercuts the Voting Rights Act, and upholds what Justice Kagan called ‘a significant race-based disparity in voting opportunities,’” the installed executive decried.   The people behind the installation shake their fists because the court’s decision comes as various state legislators are making it much more difficult to cheat.   [White House Statement HERE]

House Votes to Approve January 6th Select Committee 222-190, Cheney and Kinzinger Vote With Pelosi and 19 Republicans Did Not Vote


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 30, 2021 | Sundance | 253 Comments

The House of Representatives voted today to approve a House Select Committee to investigate the January 6th DC protest.  The vote was 222-190 [LINK] to approve House Resolution 503, with Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger voting to support the Pelosi mid-term election scheme.

The January 6th House Select Committee investigation is to MAGA voters what the Mueller Investigation was to President Trump. A tool to attack political opposition and frame a narrative for the 2022 mid-term election. Nothing more.

Beyond the votes to approve there were 19 representatives who did not vote.  It does not go unnoticed that every single non-vote was a republican representative.  [link]

The Republicans who did not vote include: Jodey C Arrington (TX-19th CD), Jim Banks (IN-3rd CD), Earl “Buddy” Carter (GA-1st CD), Michael Cloud (TX-7th CD), Russ Fulcher (ID-1st CD), Louie Gohmert (TX-1st CD), Bob Good (VA-5th CD), Yvette Herrell (NM-2nd CD), Clay Higgins (LA-3rd CD), Darrell Issa (CA-50th CD), Ronny Jackson (TX-13th CD), Mike Johnson (LA-4th CD), Mary Miller (IL-15th CD), August Pfluger (TX-11th CD), John Rose (TN-6th CD), Chip Roy (TX-21st CD), Thomas Tiffany (WI-7th CD), Randy Weber (TX-14th CD), Roger Williams (TX-25th CD).

A non-vote is essentially a vote to approve.  Keep in mind, some of the Texas delegation may have been at the U.S-Mexico border event with President Trump; bad timing, but ok.  However, the rest of the Republican non-votes should be must be questioned by their constituents for why they are essentially supporting Nancy Pelosi’s scheme by not voting against it.  This is a critical point in history, question your representatives.

[Pictured Above, “did not vote” – NOTE: Roger Williams (TX-25th CD) missing from group picture]

WASHINGTON DC – […] Speaker Nancy Pelosi will have the final say over the panel’s GOP members, assuming House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy appoints them at all. But many in her caucus are still anxious about the prospect of Republicans starting another bitter fight by trying to appoint members who voted against certifying President Joe Biden’s win.

[…] Pelosi has signaled she wants one of her eight appointments to the Jan. 6 committee to be a Republican, and Democrats speculate that outspoken Trump critics like Cheney and Kinzinger could be chosen. The speaker declined to say Tuesday whether she would veto any GOP select panel members who opposed certifying Biden’s victory, and declined again Wednesday to discuss the committee’s makeup.

[…]  Asked about his five picks for the panel, McCarthy has repeatedly declined to comment on who he might choose. He might also decline to appoint members at all, a decision that could help the GOP leader avoid such a highly charged issue within his conference. Out of their roughly 200-member conference, two-thirds voted not to certify the president’s Electoral College win.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a close Trump ally, told POLITICO that no decisions had been made yet by McCarthy (read more).

January 6th Select Committee will be entirely run by democrats and their Lawfare operatives within staff. The purpose of the select committee will carry the same intents as the Mueller investigation in 2017 through 2019: to frame a narrative against their political opposition. The difference this time will be that President Trump is not the sole target; the Pelosi January 6th committee will be using Alinsky methods to target Trump voters.

Because the larger mid-term election operation requires it, the House Select Committee was a foregone conclusion.  The only question was how many DeceptiCons would join with Pelosi to execute it.  If Republicans are smart, not likely, the entire GOP House caucus should boycott the insufferable pantomime, leave the stage, let the Democrats do their silly show…. and use Alinsky moves against the Left by ridiculing and marginalizing their performances in real time.

Alas, the GOP are an insufferably annoying and predictable bunch of purposeful idiots, and -as a result- they will likely end up participating because they will say they need to counter the Leftist narrative or something… and the only way they can do that is by providing the democrats with legitimacy. This is how DeceptiCons roll.

Do not be naive to think the GOP want the FBI involvement in the January 6 events to be exposed any more than the Republican wing of the UniParty wanted to see the IRS targeting of conservative groups exposed. The vast majority of DC republicans want to see the MAGA base destroyed just like they wanted to see the Tea Party base destroyed so they could get back to the business of self-indulgence in 2012.

Investigations are only done by DC to serve their own interests.  Sometimes those interests are in throwing a bag over DC corruption: Fast n Furious, Benghazi Committee, IRS scandal and the VA scandal for recent reference points.  However, sometimes those DC interests are best protected by targeting opposition to DC itself, just like the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel and the upcoming House Select Committee.

Again, the legislative branch was/is working with the executive branch on the common objectives of a corrupt intelligence apparatus, that includes the FBI {examples here}. So the legislative branch is not going to investigate intelligence community or FBI corruption.  The HPSCI and SSCI are participants in the corruption, they will not investigate themselves regardless of whether Democrats or Republicans control the chambers.  This is not a partisan issue.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was not only involved in the intelligence targeting of President Trump through surveillance and counterintelligence operations; the SSCI was actively participating in that targeting and doing everything they could to assist the FBI, DOJ and Intelligence community (IC) on that goal.

The MAGA voters (the republican base) will be targeted, ridiculed and marginalized in the run up to the 2022 election. They will be made to look like domestic terrorists, “Domestic Violent Extremists”, and much worse as defined by narrative engineering between a corrupt House, corrupt FBI, and a corrupt U.S. corporate media. That is the entire purpose of Nancy Pelosi’s House Select Committee.

The only way to avoid the scheme is not to play the game.

As we always note, watch who wants to participate from the GOP side of the aisle.  Those are the DeceptiCons, the implants into the system purchased by larger elements like BlackRock financial.  DeceptiCons are essentially interchangeable with BlackRock Republicans.  The system, the administrative state, is designed this way….  The parties are clubs presented to give the illusion of choice.  Those who control the outcomes of government are never on a ballot.
