The Insanity of Boris Johnson & the Destruction of Britain


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN

Re-Posted Sep 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:

Hi Marty,

Slovak Parliament passed, a few days ago, the law that obliges telecoms to hand over to the Ministry of Health the data (name, cell phone number, and location info for the last 2 weeks) on everyone who has, at any point in the prior two weeks, been abroad (and has now entered Slovakia). This goes contrary to the previous telecom laws that provided for some privacy; now privacy is out and total government surveillance is in. For “health” reasons, of course. The government will thus be able to instantly know which Slovaks (or people with a Slovak cell phone) have not complied with the decree that forces everyone who returns from a “high risk” country (which now includes virtually every country in the world, incl. most European ones) to get immediately tested for “covid” as well as quarantine for two weeks. The fine for not complying with the test/quarantine is 5,000 euros –  about half of the average annual wage in Slovakia!
(Also, in an extension of the obligatory muzzle decree, even little kids in schools will now have to wear masks! In a country with 37 alleged “covid” deaths since March, and a handful of people in hospitals with “covid”. Btw, the fines for not wearing a muzzle where it’s mandated are up to 1,695 euros.)

Meanwhile, more tyranny in the UK too.

New restrictions make meetings with more than 6 people illegal, and one can get arrested (and fined up to 3,200 GBP). So I guess that also means no more anti-tyranny demonstrations. How convenient!
Any hospitality venues that are allowed to be open (such as restaurants, cafes, pubs, etc) must take and keep customers’ contact info (for tracking & tracing). And, thousands of “Covid-secure marshalls” will be policing towns and streets to ensure everyone is obeying the rules (“social distancing”, masks, etc).
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the new rules will last for the ‘foreseeable future’, and will only be withdrawn after the implementation of a vaccine or better mass testing.

Even more insanely, they plan to test every person EVERY WEEK, doing 10 million “covid” tests every single day (by early 2021 – so obviously the plan is to keep this farce on for the long term). Only the people who have a negative test would be allowed to enter venues and public places!

Workplaces, schools, football stadiums, entertainment venues, GP surgeries and pharmacies are all outlined as potential sites where testing could take place. Digital immunity passports for those who test negative would also be rolled out to allow safe travel, a return to work and other activities.
It comes after it emerged that theatres and sports venues could soon test all audience members and let in those with a negative result under the Prime Minister’s plans to get life in the UK back to normal. Mr Johnson today announced a pilot programme will be launched in Salford next month which will see audiences at both indoor and outdoor venues tested on the day to see if they are infectious. Those who test positive for coronavirus will be sent home while those who test negative will be allowed in. Mr Johnson told a Downing Street coronavirus press conference this evening that negative tests would effectively provide people with a ‘passport’ which would allow them a ‘freedom to mingle with everybody else who is similarly not infectious in a way that is currently impossible’. ‘in the near future we want to start using testing to identify people who are negative… so we can allow them to behave in a more normal way.’

And, here is why the number of “infected” has allegedly been rising. (As in every other country, the vast majority of these alleged “infected” have no symptoms whatsoever.)
From 13,000 daily tests in April to some 240,000 daily tests now!

Take care.

REPLY: These politicians know full well that there is no pandemic. They are deliberately doing this because their economies are collapsing and using this virus is the best way to pretend they are protecting the people while they are preparing to try to reorganize the economy and cleverly default on national debts. Borris Johnson is a disgrace to the conservative Party. I am glad Maggie Thatcher is not alive to see what Borris has done. Anyone who doubted that the British pound would penetrate the 1985 low, perhaps should take a closer look.

Washington Post January 2020: POTUS “Hyping” COVID Panic – September 2020: POTUS “Downplayed” COVID Panic…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on September 9, 2020 by 

After watching political narrative engineering for years, this attempt was predictable. The reason why CTH maintains a “pinned thread” on the White House COVID-19 response from January and February of 2020 is specifically because we knew the narrative engineers would attempt to weaponize the politics of the virus later in the election year.

We knew the narrative engineers would flip the script. Today they did exactly that.

The day after President Trump established a “coronavirus taskforce”, on January 31, 2020, the Washington Post published an article saying that President Trump was hyping the concern over COVID-19 in response to him shutting down travel and implementing major restrictions:

The Trump administration on Friday dramatically escalated its response to the fast-spreading coronavirus epidemic by announcing quarantines and major travel restrictions that officials said were meant to limit contagion.

The White House declared a “public health emergency” and — beginning on Sunday at 5 p.m. — will bar non-U.S. citizens who recently visited China from entering the United States, subject to a few exemptions. Shortly after the White House announced the new restrictions and said there were six confirmed U.S. cases, a seventh case was confirmed in Santa Clara County, Calif.

[…] “This is a serious health situation in China, but I want to emphasize that the risk to the American public currently is low,” said Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Our goal is to do all we can do to keep it that way.”

[…] Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the process for testing people for the new strain of coronavirus had proved very imprecise so far and that this is one of the reasons for the aggressive U.S. response. (link)

Within hours of President Trump’s decision to restrict travel from China on Jan. 31, top Democrats and media figures immediately derided the move as unnecessary and xenophobic.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden led the way, quickly attacking what he called Trump’s “record of hysteria, xenophobia and fear-mongering” after the travel restrictions were announced.  A Jan. 31 article in The New York Times quoted epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm as saying that Trump’s decision to restrict travel from China was “more of an emotional or political reaction.”

In March, another Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, conspicuously insisted at a Fox News town hall that he wouldn’t consider closing the U.S. border to prevent the spread of coronavirus, before condemning what he called the president’s xenophobia.  The overwhelming narrative was that President Trump’s proactive measures were fear-mongering and intended to produce panic.

Now we fast-forward to today… predictably, as if on the anticipated cue…. the exact same outlet, the Washington Post, now says President Trump “downplayed” the danger.

[…] At that time, Trump was telling the nation that the virus was no worse than a seasonal flu, predicting it would soon disappear and insisting that the U.S. government had it totally under control. It would be several weeks before he would publicly acknowledge that the virus was no ordinary flu and that it could be transmitted through the air. (read more)

So in January, February and March, 2020, the best political attack position was to say that President Trump was overreacting and hyping panic.  Now in September 2020 the best political attack position is to say he down-played the danger.

This was as predictable as the sunrise.

The media hype around COVID-19 was/is a political weapon first and foremost.  The leftists and their media scribes had a long-term plan to use the virus as a political weapon based on any position that President Trump would have taken.

The Bob Woodward book is simply an exhibition in this type of purposeful narrative engineering.  However, the American electorate are not stupid.

German Health Minister Admits Lockdowns Were a Mistake


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Posted Sep 4, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

While in the United States, Twitter, Youtube, CNN, and the rest of the growing Marxist supporters try to claim the CDC saying less than 10,000 people have died of only COVID-19, the German Health Minister Jens Spahn has come out and publicly admitted that the lockdowns were too harsh and uncalled for.  This is starting where many are now calling for an investigation. There is hope that perhaps this conspiracy to use this virus, that may have been created in a lab intentionally not to really cause massive deaths, will lead to the exposure of this conspiracy to crash the economy in order to justify this  Great Reset may at last unfold.

Keep in mind this has been funded by the Billionaire Dropouts who are suddenly experts on viruses, CO2, population growth, and Marxist Equality – excluding them of course. There is still hope with all their propaganda, we may see justice at last. Everyone who has been involved from the head of CNN to the head of the World Economic Forum, should spend the rest of their lives being taken care off enjoying perfect Marxist equality behind bars where there is no paper money, which should make them very happy, and packets of fish are the number one barter currency.

Daniel Andrews – Australia’s Dictator – Crimes Against Humanity


Armstrong Economics Blog/Australia & Oceania

Re-Posted Sep 4, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The tyranny of using this virus to shut down and rig elections is extremely dangerous. The New Zealand government has locked down Auckland after just four new cases and postponed the national election with under 100 active cases. Under the pretense of this virus, we are at serious risk of losing everything as those in power realize that they would now be voted out. Their only solution is to postpone elections, which then will gradually never return. That all depends upon the police and the military. Will they continue to support the loss of our free societies? Daniel Andrews is an Australian politician who is the 48th and incumbent Premier of Victoria since 2014. He is also the state leader of the Australian Labor Party since 2010. He is showing the world how dangerous the left has become. He is destroying all freedoms in Victoria and pointing the way for what all left-wing agenda truly is all about.

Doctors are coming out and pleading with this ruthless Daniel that in the name of the virus, he is putting everyone else at risk of death by other things from strokes to heart attacks. People are being denied normal health care because of these left-wing politicians around the world. The police and military are betraying the people of Australia just as they do in Venezuela. They should be storming the legislature and arresting Daniels Andrews for crimes against humanity.

Tony Abbot, the former Prime Minister of Australia, is not in office. Perhaps that alone allows him to speak with clarity.

“For me, the recent 75th anniversary of the end of World War Two prompted this reflection: that generation: ready to risk life to preserve freedom; this generation: ready to risk freedom to preserve life. Yet we don’t think of our parents and our grandparents as too brave, do we; I wonder what judgment history will pass on us?”

Ventilators Kill


Armstrong Economics Blog/medicine

Re-Posted Sep 3, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Sir,

Having taught medical folks at all levels( medical students, residents, fellows and practicing physicians), this makes me feel sick.

Keep up the good work

DK

REPLY: I do not think people realize how dangerous it is to be put on a ventilator. Here the headline was: “A NYC Coronavirus Patient Died After Her Ventilator was Set Too High Under the Care of Inexperienced Medical Residents.” My first son died on a ventilator at Children’s’ Hospital in Philadelphia for the very same reason. It burst his lungs. You would think that if a car can now parallel park, why can’t a ventilator sense when someone is incapable of accepting that much air?

Hospitals are DANGEROUS. They killed my mother, as the doctors refused to release her, always finding one excuse or another, and kept her in bed for weeks until they weakened her to the point that she did not have the strength to walk again. They threw me into a COVID wing and said I needed two negative tests to be discharged. I received one test before and I told them I was leaving, but they said that my insurance would not pay the bill. I said I did not care, I would not stay there for two tests because they knew they were invalid anyway. I told them I would leave and they would have to call the police and shoot me in the back if they wanted me to stay. They finally administered the second test and I walked out.

A friend had a baby in a Philadelphia hospital. They tested the mother and said her test was positive. They took the child away at birth and she never saw him. They finally gave her another test and it was NEGATIVE. They had to return her child.

Hospitals are trying to create monopolies and they are in this for the money. The first time my mother was in a hospital, they released her to rehabilitation. That doctor changed all her medicine and nearly killed her. During her next stay in the hospital, they pulled the same shit. My sister looked at this woman asking again if they would release her to rehab. She asked this woman, “If she was your mother, would you send her here?” The woman could not answer but silently shook her head — no.

The entire COVID scam is enriching hospitals beyond belief. They have financial incentives to keep you and to put you on a ventilator. I even question their claimed data that blacks are more susceptible to COVID. The government pays 100% of people without insurance as long as the hospital claims it is COVID. Do they really have COVID or are they just milking the system?

The whole scam just fell apart: COVID test, overwhelming number of false positives


ALL the PCR tests being done on people all over the world reflect NOTHING about illness, infection, contagion, or transmission

Jon Rappoport image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—September 1, 2020

The whole scam just fell apart: COVID test, overwhelming number of false positives

“According to The New York Times, potentially 90 percent of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 have such insignificant amounts of the virus present in their bodies that such individuals do not need to isolate nor are they candidates for contact tracing. Leading public health experts are now concerned that overtesting is responsible for misdiagnosing a huge number of people with harmless amounts of the virus in their systems.” (Townhall)

“‘Most of these people are not likely to be contagious…’ warns The Times.”

The issue appears to be the ballooning sensitivity of the PCR test

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

Yes, that’s what the NY Times is confessing (8/29):

“Some of the nation’s leading public health experts are raising a new concern in the endless debate over coronavirus testing in the United States: The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus.  Most of these people are not likely to be contagious…”

“In three sets of testing data…compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found.”

Let me break this down for you, because it’s a lot worse than the Times admits.  The rabbit hole goes much deeper—-and I’ve been reporting on the deeper facts for months.

The issue appears to be the ballooning sensitivity of the PCR test.  It’s so sensitive that it picks up inconsequential tiny, tiny amounts of virus that couldn’t harm a flea—-and it calls these amounts “positive.”

Therefore, millions of people are labeled “positive/infected” who carry so little virus that no harm would come to them or anyone they come in contact with.

That would be bad enough.  But the truth is, the PCR test is not able to produce ANY reliable number that reflects how much virus a person is carrying.  A lot, a little, it doesn’t matter.

The test has never been validated, in a large-scale study, for the ability to quantify the amount of virus a person is carrying.  I’ve proposed how that study should be done IN THE REAL WORLD, NOT IN THE LAB.

ALL the PCR tests being done on people all over the world reflect NOTHING about illness, infection, contagion, or transmission

You take 1000 people and remove tissue samples from them.  A lab puts these samples through its PCR and announces which virus it found in each case and how much virus it found in each case.

It says: “All right, in patients 23, 46, 76, 89, 265 we found a high amount of virus.”

That should mean these particular patients are visibly sick.  They will have obvious clinical symptoms.  Why?  Because actual illness requires millions of millions of a virus replicating in the body.

So now we unblind these particular patients with high amounts of virus, according to the PCR.  Are they, in fact, sick?  Or are they running marathons and swimming five miles a day?  Let’s see.  For real.

THIS VALIDATION OF THE PCR HAS NEVER BEEN DONE.

Therefore, the claim that the PCR can determine how much virus is in a human is completely and utterly unproven.  Period.

Therefore, ALL the PCR tests being done on people all over the world reflect NOTHING about illness, infection, contagion, or transmission.

The scam is wall to wall.

But there’s more.

The PCR isn’t even testing for a particular virus in the first place.  It’s using a piece of RNA assumed to be part of a virus.  The assumption is unproven.

And finally, as I’ve been writing and demonstrating for months, there is no evidence that researchers used proper procedure to discover “a new coronavirus that is causing a pandemic.”

Therefore, the PCR test, as worthless as it already is, aims to show the presence of a germ that has never been shown to exist.

But let’s lock down the planet, destroy economies and untold numbers of lives in the process.

Parksville & Qualicum Beach in BC, Canada Outlaw COVID Restrictions


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada

Re-Posted Sep 1, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: In a historic act of direct democracy last night, the Oceanside Common Law Assembly (OCLA) passed a Public Safety Bylaw that prohibits COVID restrictions and mandatory distancing, masking, quarantines, and vaccinations anywhere in the communities of Parksville and Qualicum Beach on Canada’s west coast.

As of today, anyone who tries to impose COVID regulations on the people of these communities can face fines and imprisonments by OCLA and its Common Law Court.

Citing International law, the Assembly Bylaw states that these COVID regulations “are unlawful, unwarranted and medically unsound measures that threaten and assault the fundamental liberties, health and security of the people of our community …Therefore it is ordered that no-one is obligated to consent to or comply with any of these regulations … and anyone is free to actively resist and disobey such regulations and measures by any means necessary without fear of legal consequence.”

The Bylaw concludes by accusing anyone who tries to impose COVID regulations on the community as being part of a criminal conspiracy and threatens them with “penalties and imprisonment upon conviction by the Common Law Court of Parksville … All police authorities are expected and compelled by law to enforce this Bylaw or be charged with obstructing justice and democratic process.”

REPLY: This is good news. I believe that Trump will start to expose this after the election. Dr. Scott Atlas, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, has also come out and said that hydroxychloroquine has become a political issue rather than a medical one. We really do have to stand up to this tyranny for as I have said before, I have met some of these key players and they are clearly trying to take over the world to force change to their agenda.

The real dangerous position here is that they overthrow Trump and then set in motion this entire New Socialist Green Order. I am concerned that if Trump wins the election, they will then try to assassinate him by 2022. These people are on a global mission and they will not rest until the subjugate the entire world. This will only lead to war. They will not be able to subjugate the world. Gates is obsessed with Global Warming and overpopulation.
