There is Something Just Not Right – Papers Please!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Nov 16, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hello
I think there is something wrong with the pattern when it comes to covid and the vaccines. It just do not add up. If the vaccines are about depopulation, then why does Gates vaccinate the people he would like to keep if he could choose? Why isn´t for example Africa the most vaccinated place instead of the western world and China etc. (look at a vaccination map)? The only way this adds up is if the covid vaccines are meant to protect against something worse that is to come. It would also explain for example why they want to vaccinate children and it would mean many overpopulated countries that do not get the vaccine could be hit very hard in a later stage, together with conservatives…
Best regards

ANSWER: Your point is interesting, but I do not believe the vaccines will suddenly kill the vaccinated in 2 or 3 years – at least intentionally. They may lower your immunity and make you more susceptible to new strains of viruses yet to appear. There seems to be a greater risk that they will impact fertility intentionally. But the side effects are serious and there are no studies that warn people with certain medical profiles not to take the vaccine as is the case with other vaccines on the CDC website. The MMR vaccine the CDC clearly tells who should not get vaccinated.

There is something VERY VERY VERY wrong here. This is from the CDC’s website, which clearly has a section on the measles vaccine (MMR), warning that those who have these conditions should NOT be vaccinated. That is absent with respect to COVID. Why?

Now here is the page from the CDC on the COVID vaccine. There is no section whatsoever to warn people who should NOT be vaccinated. Why? Once you have had a disease, you do not get vaccinated against that same disease. Politicians disregard that and still demand vaccination. There is something seriously wrong here. Nobody will answer the questions, and you are to be fired if you refuse, and there are no exceptions. For every other vaccine, there are exceptions, but not with COVID. This is no longer medical; it is political. Anyone who thinks the government cares about you is really living in fantasyland.

If we look at the madman of Australia, he has come out and told the people who are vaccinated that if they want to retain any freedom, they much are regularly vaccinated. In Austria, they are imprisoning people who are not vaccinated. Look beyond the United States and you will see this agenda unfolding. It is really to control the population. They know when government fails, there will be an uprising. To prevent civil unrest, they are using these vaccines to control people. In Europe, you cannot travel without a COVID pass. With the situation varying from country to country, in Europe, traveling for the vaccinated across the EU is not entirely possible. What they do not want is resistance gathering from all over Europe into one place. They are reinstating the Nazi protocol – Papers Please!

The United States is different than Europe. Biden does not have the power to order lockdowns nationwide. His attempt to force vaccinations on companies with 100 or more employees is going through federal agencies which do not have such powers. That is why Biden is telling companies to ignore the courts. If that is legal, then likewise ignore all the COVID rules from Washington is also legal.

There will be further mutations of COVID and they are clueless about what they have unleashed. This is Pandora’s Box. They have no way of now knowing the mutations of this virus because it was created in a lab somewhere, probably not even China, and deliberately released for political control. I have been warning that any virus that co-exists in animals can NEVER be cured with a vaccine because it has a vast reservoir to mutate. Even leopards in the zoo have died of COVID. It has been suggested that 40% of the deer population has gotten COVID.

I am NOT a doctor. I was taught that in high school health class. When a virus co-exists in animals, that is why we cannot cure a common cold or the flu. Our greatest risk is that this man-made virus will mutate far beyond what these people thought. Already, the people who are vaccinated are getting new strains of COVID and dying at a faster rate than the UNVACCINATED. This forced Gates to admit his vaccines do not work. He will come out with version 2.0 and the politicians will still use it to carry out their tyranny because they have so mismanaged the economy there is no saving this current version of socialism. In the old days, they would be dragging our politicians out of their fancy offices unto the street and either light them on fire as they did in a revolution in China, or they would behead them and parade their heads on a spike as they would in ancient Rome.

Warning – Migrate from Urban Cities to the Suburbs


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Nov 16, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I have warned that they were considering lockdowns for climate change. India has been the first to impose a lockdown in New Delhi all for air pollution. I strongly recommend that if you can, get out of the major urban cities before you find yourself locked in home imprisonment denied all human rights on the basis of climate. This is the New World Order and the end goal is to even eliminate office buildings and commuting.

U.S. Appeals Court: Vaccine Uptake True Purpose of Mandate, Not Workplace Safety


Posted originally on TRIALSITE News by Dr-Ron-BrownNovember 16, 20210 Comments

Note that views expressed in this opinion article are the writer’s personal views and not necessarily those of TrialSite.

Dr. Ron Brown – Opinion Editorial

November 15, 2021

TrialSite previously reported on the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals’ decision to halt U.S. President Biden’s vaccine mandate: Conservative 5th Circuit Makes Move to Block POTUS COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate. The opinion of the Appeals Court is documented under Docket 21-60845, available for download here. Reading deeper into this court document implicates the true purpose of the vaccine mandate, which applies as well to a long history of vaccine mandates that I have previously written about. For example, in my editorial, Fear and Coercion in Public Health Vaccination Campaigns, I quoted testimony of a U.S. public health official from the early 20th century who admitted using identical workplace coercion policies to drive vaccination rates for smallpox almost 100 years ago.

On page 3 of the recent Appeal Court document, the Circuit Judges wrote that the case involved the “Mandate” issued by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The mandate required “employees of covered employers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination or take weekly COVID-19 tests and wear a mask.”Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “Vaccine” ChannelNo spam – we promise

On page 15 of the document, the Judges wrote about the “underinclusive” nature of the mandate that didn’t apply to companies with under 100 employees. The Judges questioned why employees of smaller companies would be denied the same safety afforded to larger companies if the mandate’s true purpose was workplace safety during a public health emergency. This caused the Judges to question “the premise that any of this is truly an emergency.”

Moreover, the Judges wrote, “The underinclusive nature of the Mandate implies that the Mandate’s true purpose is not to enhance workplace safety, but instead to ramp up vaccine uptake by any means necessary.”

Furthermore, in a footnote on page 15 of the document, the Judges pointed out that vaccination alone doesn’t prevent employees from spreading the virus, and that weekly testing is insufficient to prevent daily exposures to infections. These points raise additional doubts about the Mandate’s intention to address workplace safety during a true public health emergency.

Covered Employers

Coercion is not a new tactic to “ramp up vaccine uptake.” Coercion can also apply to “deputized” employers who may be threatened with shutdowns for non-compliance. On page 4 of the Appeal Court document, the Judges wrote about the employers covered by the Mandate:

“…the Mandate imposes a financial burden upon them by deputizing their participation in OSHA’s regulatory scheme, exposes them to severe financial risk if they refuse or fail to comply, and threatens to decimate their workforces…”

History shows that these coercion tactics to promote vaccination have been used by public health agencies for at least a hundred years or more. At least we have the courts to step in to halt the damage…temporarily.

It’s up to state legislatures to make it an official crime for public health agencies to issue and enforce coercion policies that threaten workers and employers while under prioritizing workplace safety during a questionable public health emergency.

Scottsdale Arizona School Board Votes to Remove President After Moms Discover Secret Surveillance of Parents and Children


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 15, 2021 | Sundance | 116 Comments

The Scottsdale Unified School District in Arizona was scrambling after a group of moms discovered that Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg was keeping secret surveillance files, a dossier of sorts, on parents and students the school board head viewed as a risk to the interests of the district.

In essence what the parents discovered was evidence their own school system was keeping creepy opposition files on the parents of students in the school district.

Parents gathered today to demand the removal of the Governing Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg, and the destruction of the Google Drive files filled with personal information, documents, and photos of about 47 people, including children.

Creepy Mr. Greenburg was removed, but not fired.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Jann-Michael Greenburg has been ousted as the Scottsdale Unified School Board president following controversy over a dossier of information he is accused of keeping on parents who were openly critical of the district.

The board voted 4-1 Monday evening to elect board member Patty Beckman to replace Greenburg as the president for the remainder of his term. Board members Zach Lindsay and Libby Hart-Wells called for Greenburg’s resignation, but Greenburg did not resign. Greenburg is still a member of the board, although stripped of the title of president. (read more)

Gates – Vaccines & Population Growth


Armstrong Economics Blog/Population Re-Posted Nov 15, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Bill Gates simply cannot be this stupid. He is engaging in pure sophistry to sell his population-climate change agenda. The mistake people are making here is they are judging the third world by our way of life. Gates is claiming that we need to vaccinate everyone in the world so they will have a healthier single child so they will not need more than one child. This scheme will reduce the population by 50%. Gates waves his hands wildly desperately trying to gesture for emphasis to make his claims more declarative. It might be dangerous to sit too close to him. You may be poked in the eye with an elbow. Nevertheless, is this all a complete lie? Is Bill Gates promoting LGB relationships to also reduce population?

Those who have made up these estimates of the world population since the start of recorded history have created a linear progression that is FAKE and never reflected wars or disease. The Black Death reduced the population by 50% in most areas. They estimate the world population between 1200 to 1500 grew from 360 million to 450 million. There is NEVER a single downtick in their estimates. They have totally ignored the history of plagues. The plague of smallpox often wiped out 50% to 70% of the population.

Climate has impacted the population tremendously. Even studies of field mice have revealed that they would produce more offspring when food was abundant and fewer babies when food was scarce. The ebb and flow of the climate have had a huge impact upon population growth as is the case for economic expansion. As empires rose, the birth rate would decline for people did not need children as much to survive and the birth rate declines.

Even in China right now, the newborn population has plummeted by 40% in the past five years (from 18 million in 2016 to 12 million in 2020), and authorities are pulling out all the stops to convince people to have children.  Back in 2013, China had to pass a law that the children must visit their parents. Elderly couples began importing girls from Southeast Asia to take care of them and they would leave them the property. It wasn’t long ago when China had the one-child rule which led to many girls being abandoned to be adopted by Westerners.

The greatest the economic advancement, the greater the decline in the birth rate. We see this trend throughout the industrialized world. The birth rates have declined substantially in JapanEurope, and America with the rise in the economy. Russia was paying $9,000 for women to have children because the population declines only with economic advancement. Is Gates’ fear of population and climate change all based upon linear projections that ignore reality? Has he been brainwashed by his father’s effort to provide abortions with Planned Parenthood in minority areas?

Abortion was practiced on a regular basis among the poor, slave, merchant, and royal classes in ancient Rome. There was no consideration that abortion was killing a child. There was nothing in Roman law that criminalized such an act. Even if we read Ovid, we find the passage on abortion where his mistress aborted his child and he wished she had died with the child. He wrote:

“She who first essayed to expel from her womb the tender fruit she bore therein, deserved to perish in the struggle she had invited….If in the childhood of the world mothers had followed this wicked custom, the human race would have vanished from the  face of the earth…” The Loves 2.14

It was Emperor Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) who banished his daughter Julia for her sex orgies and also banish Ovid to the Black Sea for his encouragement. It was Augustus who passed family laws to force men to marry because the Latin population was declining as economic expansion flourished. Marriages in Roman times were arrangements between two Roman families. The girl would be married soon after puberty to a suitable male generally 10 to 15 years older. The parents would consult with friends to find suitable partners that could improve the family’s wealth or class. In ancient Egypt, one was considered fortunate if they could marry their sister to keep the wealth in the family.

In Rome, there were very specific laws governing marriage. A proper Roman marriage could not take place unless the bride and groom were Roman citizens, or had been granted special permission, called “conubium.” At one point in Roman history, freed slaves had been forbidden to marry citizens. This restriction was lifted by Augustus who passed as part of his family laws in 18BC to increase the population. A freed slave, however, was still prohibited from marrying a senator.

The birth rates have always declined with economic growth throughout history. The higher birth rates in India and Africa that have tormented Bill Gates in his dreams are in agrarian-based economies where they need children for their retirement. The reason is very simple. In an agrarian society, you have more children for they are your retirement and they take care of you in your old age and allow the farm to keep producing. You would typically have several children because also because the mortality rate was high. Even the legal age for a girl in most of the world is 14 years old. The only countries with 18 years old are the United States and Turkey. These lower legal ages outside the United States reflect the ancient tradition of marrying soon after puberty for the life expectancy was also lower and at times in the late 40s. So a girl did not wait until she passed thirty to get married. She would not be there as a mother more often than not when the child reached twenty.

While social security was hailed as a major benefit during the Great Depress, the problem it has introduced was that it fundamentally altered the family structure of responsibility that extended back thousands of years. People would have children and they, in turn, took care of their parents in their old age. Today, few children save for their parents and they assume that it is the government’s job to take care of them in their old age – no longer the children. Then the politicians took the money and used it as a slush fund to fill it with their debt and prohibited it from ever investing in the country.

Historically, the age difference in marriage declined with the industrial revolution to the point it was only 50% older by 1900 and then dropped to perhaps 10-15 years older by 1930. The introduction of social security also altered the entire marriage trend. The man would ask the father for the hand of his daughter and the question was – What do you have? The boy first had to become a man, work hard, get the house and the chickens to prove he could take care of her and their children. With the introduction of socialism, the age collapsed and it was all about love, and no longer did the boy have to become a man. Even the dowry was not a payment to the boy to marry his daughter, it was a payment to her to contribute to her future. It was all about providing for the girl and her children into the future. Therefore, only after the Great Depression did the age difference collapse and divorce skyrocketed because girls naturally matured faster than boys. Money was no longer an issue for the great government replaced family, dowries, and concern about the future.

Gates’ proposition falls apart because these third-world countries are still in the agrarian stage. They lack the economic development that reduces the population. They need the children to run the farm and they need them for retirement for they lack such pension schemes. Gates’ nightmare about population growth in India and Africa can be solved by improving their economies – not vaccinating them so they will have fewer children. That is just absurd. To me, it seems he is just following his father is trying to impose Eugenics on the World. Yet Gates had three children – so it’s Eugenics. Do as I command, but not as I do.

There is absolutely no support whatsoever for his claim that vaccinating children will make them healthier so they will have less. Donate food if that is really the issue – but there is no profit in that. Gates then pretends to be the great philanthropist, but in the next breath refuses to share vaccine technology and lobbies the industrialized rich countries to buy his vaccines and they donate them to the third world. Oh, he has just admitted that they do not work anyhow.

This scheme is clever and the end goal is to make him the richest man in 6,000 years of recorded history. Even the billionaire tax will kill his competition and he will never pay a dime for he stuffed his wealth tax-free in a foundation like Hillary.

It seems that power is like money. Gates shifted his quest for wealth to power. The more he buys, the more he wants.

Austria Order Unvaccinated to Home Imprisonment


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Nov 15, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Forget the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. All rights are now irrelevant.  Austria has now ordered that all unvaccinated are to be imprisoned in their homes. In Britain, reliable sources in London are saying that it may be necessary to impose lockdowns regularly well into 2026. The Netherlands has returned to a partial lockdown. I warned at the WEC that there is a deliberate effort to recreate the Great Depression for force submission to their new Green World Order and to Build Back Better. Britain is headed into a winter of disaster come the first quarter of ’22.

If you are wondering WHY Bill Gates has admitted that the vaccines do not work, he is preparing to bring in a new version with new claims and promises. Like the computer industry, when there was a flaw with the first version of the software, they made you pay for 2.0 which corrected all the mistakes in version 1.0. This is not a victory, but a warning that version 2.0 will come out and then everyone will be forced into another round of vaccines.

Covid is soring in the very countries with the highest vaccinations and whose people have been crushed the most with lockdowns and forced to have COVID passes to even move. Despite the fact that none of this has worked, there was NEVER any intention that these tyrannical sanctions were for the benefit of the people. This has ALWAYS been because the government is collapsing. Their negative interest rates in Europe since 2014 have not just destroyed their bond markets, they have wiped out pension funds and those in power have used this manufactured pandemic to crush human rights in order to usher in a new authoritarian government.

When the CDC was subpoenaed for records proving that the unvaccinated person who had COVID can spread the disease, they replied that they had no such records showing that. Meanwhile, the evidence surfacing from around the world shows that natural immunity is better. The effect of the corona vaccines against infection decreases significantly after a few months. This is the result of a large-scale study from Sweden. Meanwhile, it is shaping up that young men are at greater risk from taking the vaccines. A number of European athletes have been injured. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion, two Olympic gold medalists, an NBA point guard, and the world’s top static breath-hold freediver have all suffered Covid-19 vaccine injuries. Yet governments are pushing these vaccines like drug dealers. Why? Have they just been bribed or ios it just a control mechanism to suppress society to prevent a civil uprising in the face of economic changes?

National Economic Council Director Brian Deese Claims Inflation Working Perfectly – As Designed, a Collapsing U.S. Economy Demands More Congressional Spending


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 14, 2021 | Sundance | 138 Comments

JoeBama’s National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, the twenty-something central planner in charge of all White House economic policy, tells a curiously skeptical Jake Tapper that things are working swimmingly, exactly according to plan.

According to the Biden-Deese theory on sustainable economic policy, massive spending creates massive inflation; which creates an increased demand for government subsidy to afford basic products; which creates a growing dependency on the government; which creates a need for massive spending.  Wash-Rinse-Repeat.

This is exactly the expanding economic dependency model sold by socialists around the world for generations, which Barack Obama and his Biden administration promise they have now perfected in order to remove the pesky inequities always associated with unbridled capitalism.  Smile everyone, government cheese aplenty…

.In a rather ironic note, the parseltongue White House explanation is so disconnected from common sense, that furrowed brow’s brain is having an out of body issue, seemingly he is watching himself participate.   The producers shift the camera angles quickly to compensate.

It would appear that somewhere in the recesses of Tapper’s frontal cortex, there remains a glowing ember of the common sense particle.  Unfortunately for the CNN host, the synapse for the common sense particle is pinched between the ‘Smarter than thou tumor‘ and the expanding grey brain matter of moral relativity needed to sit silently and listen to bulls**t.

Within this cognitive conflict, you can visibly see Tapper’s guilt hypothalamus trying to make him uncomfortable… he sighs heavily as the infrequently exercised guilt glands attempt to trigger him to react.  Alas, the party groupthink microchip in his ear warns him to stay quiet.

Look at Tapper’s expression!

Bloomberg Reports, The Number of Booster Shots Needed to Be Defined as Vaccinated is Unknown


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 14, 2021 | Sundance | 207 Comments

Well, there it is.  According to political engineers who are tasked with pushing the COVID-19 narrative, the bureaucrats who determine U.S. health policy have not yet decided on how many booster shots will be needed to keep a person’s “vaccinated status” compliant.

Put another way, they have not determined the vaccine rate that keeps the pharmaceutical companies operating at maximum profitability.

Bloomberg – […] Some states, such as California and Colorado, have opened up booster shots to all adults who are at least six months past their second mRNA dose. It may turn out that the term “booster” is a bit of a misnomer, and that the correct number of shots for maximum efficacy isn’t yet known.

Vaccination recommendations often change as more data becomes available over time.  “It’s a good idea to keep an eye on CDC guidance.”

[…] It’s possible, says Justman, that the months-long gap between initial doses of the vaccine and boosters will help the immune system maintain a strong response for a much longer period than the initial regimen did. But we need more data to have any sort of definitive answer on that, she says.   (link)

Sunday Talks, Head of Minneapolis Federal Reserve Says Inflation Will Get Worse and Prices Will Never Come Down


Posted originally on the conservative tree hour on November 14, 2021 | Sundance | 174 Comments

Neel Kashkari is head of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve. If you know the financial lingo, you can see the dire forecast behind the opaque language.  In plain-speak, Kashari is saying when it comes to prices and inflation, “we’re screwed“…

In this interview with CBS talking head Margaret Brennan, Kashkari admits inflation is still going up, and it will get worse. Keep in mind, the lingo of the inflation conversation is discussing “percentages of change.” Kashkari claims the percentages of change will start to slow in a few years, but the prices will never return to their former level.

The percentage of inflationary change (this year vs last year) will continue going up, as prices continue to skyrocket over almost every sector. CTH points out this issue, because as the Fed continues printing current money, the value of future money drops and the price of goods continues to climb. The fast-turn goods rise in price quickest (now recorded at 6.2%), and the inflation on slow-turn durable goods lags but hits even harder.

Current real inflation inside the ‘total’ economy, the cumulative snowball that is coming down the mountain, is over 20% and still growing. This situation puts the forecast prices of 2022 goods at an alarming level. WATCH:

The fed has no tools to slow the rate of current inflation, as interest rates are disconnected {Revisit The New Dimension in Modern Economics} from the cost of goods produced. The only thing the Fed can do is to stop purchasing debt (Quantitative Easing), stop purchasing our own bonds, at a slower rate.

Despite being a progressive himself, even Neel Kashkari is telling congress to stop spending money.

.

Maybe you don’t have kids at home, maybe you don’t pack lunches or care what the cost of a pound of bologna will be, maybe you are retired and the stove hasn’t been operated all year as you prefer to dine out….  but I can assure you, to a demonstrable certainty, that almost all middle class working Americans will be making decisions on what food products they can afford.   Head lettuce at $4 to $5 each, eggs at $3/doz, milk around $6/gal, butter around $8/lb, and citrus so expensive getting an orange in your Christmas stocking will be a trend again in 2022.

The background conversations in the raw material, processing, manufacturing, wholesaling and food contract networks are enough to make you lose sleep.

[…] Tyson sent a letter to at least two regional distributors last month in which it said that prices on Ball Park, Hillshire Farm, Jimmy Dean, State Fair and all deli meats will increase by a range of 5% to 10.2% beginning Jan. 2 for “all retail customers.” … “We continue to face accelerating levels of extraordinary inflation,” Tyson said in the letter. “The sustained duration and significant impact of the inflation necessitates additional pricing action.” (link)

The traditional net terms at 30, 60 or 90 days are right now a hot topic, as producers and suppliers in the food supply chain can no longer commit to contractual prices for future goods delivered.   The upstream price increases are so large, the downstream suppliers will not contract on fixed prices, EVEN for the big box retailers.

Only those who know the scale of Walmart buying office pressure and dominance can appropriately contextualize a current WM supplier telling the behemoth to “go spit” if they don’t like the fact that price guarantees are no longer part of the equation.  Yeah, it is THAT bad.

We are only a few months away from seeing massive inflation that will fundamentally change the way everyone looks at food shopping, or highly consumable purchases, and what the middle class formerly considered to be “luxury” purchases.   Inflation, in the background, is going to come through the supply chain like a thundershock…. and it’s not just food.

This recent insider comment caused me to do some digging, and this is 100% accurate:

“I am an executive in the detergent chemical industry that supplies all of the major pharmaceutical companies, and am in charge of pricing and purchasing of large quantities of raw materials – both commodities, and surfactants, which are the main ingredients in detergents. Here is a brief overview of the situation.

Commodities, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium carbonate (soda ash), and other basic additives that adjust pH, thickness, anti-redeposition, rinseability, and other properties are up around 10-15% on a raw material cost basis from February. Not a single material is unaffected.

Citric acid is up nearly 40-50% when it can be found, at minimum. There is a nationwide allocation, which means that they give material to whom they feel like. One of the major domestic manufacturers of these materials shut down production of citric acids and other acidulants due to maintenance. Many companies in my industry are paying nearly 300% (not a typo – three hundred percent) increases on citric acid.

Domestic primary surfactants, which are made by a handful of companies such as Stepan Company, Solvay, Huntsman, and many more, are up 15-20%, due mainly to oil cost, transportation, etc.

Domestic specialty surfactants, specifically of a class called ethoxylated surfactants, are nearly gone. Not hard to get, not difficult to find – gone. In February, the ice storm took out piping and power lines along the entire gulf coast. The two towns that got hit hardest were Houston, TX, and a little town called St. Charles, LA. St. Charles is where all ethoxylation takes place in the USA for everyone from Dow to Sasol to BASF, and is the key process to make these specialty ethoxylated surfactants. Then, after 4 months of shutdowns, just when everything was getting back into swing, Hurricane Ida wrecked everything all over again.

Dow, one of the largest companies in the world, only restarted production at their facility there in early October.

The crisis of transportation and at the ports is only adding to this crisis of manufacturing in the chemical industry. News to everyone? It was never covered, not even once, on the news.

If truckers are going to be forced to be vaccinated come January, there will be even less trucks than there are now.

The wheels of the world are being purposefully and deliberately ground to a halt. We’d be better off with the mafia back in control of the ports worldwide.

This is going to get so much worse before it gets any better, and the administration in office is doing everything in their power to make sure it is as bad as possible.” (link)

And this on “Industrial Price Increases“:

Kamala Harris is worried about feeding children of the world, while we are literally weeks away from millions of working class, non-subsidized Americans being worried about feeding their own kids.  Infuriating is an understatement.

Please prepare yourselves and your families accordingly.  The proactive window to prepare for what’s coming in the short term is approximately 60 days from today; and then spending options begin to diminish quickly.

Yes, the rate of price increase may indeed level off.  However, we will not see prices dropping or returning to their prior position even after this is over.  The price of goods is climbing, will continue to climb and will eventually reach a point that they stop climbing – if policies change and/or the 2022 mid term election gets rid of the communists who are spending the money; but those prices are not going to come back down, ever.

A current loaf of bread, widget or (fill_in_the_blank) at $4.69 will climb to near $6.00 in 2022, and that will be the new normal price of that widget, bread or item from that moment into the future.   If you accept that behind you is a massive price increase about to hit on almost everything you purchase, anything you can do now to offset the impact to your household budget when the full weight of these price increases hit is going to be well worth doing.

This is all being done by design.
