Senator Mitch McConnell (The turtle) shows his true Colors!


Re-Posted from Def-Con News February 14, 2021

How do you say: “Two bit media whore,” and make it sound respectable? It’s not likely you can. But of course calling a spade a spade is the only appropriate thing to do, particularly in this situation.

The attached short media clip is one for the ages!

President Trump’s attorney, Michael van der Veen, comes to the defense of all Americans. Not just the President, not just Patriot Deplorables, but all Americans.

As reported on Red State, Saturday night van der Veen appeared on CBS News and was asked about Sen. Mitch McConnell’s comments after Trump’s acquittal.

McConnell had said that “President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day,” and that President Trump is “still liable for everything he did during his period in office.”

When van der Veen was specifically asked whether he was surprised to hear such a serious rebuke from the leader of the Republican party in the Senate, his expression, tone, and words said it all.

The media clip is a Must Watch! But, in a nut shell, the attorney’s response: “I’m not surprised to hear a politician say anything at all. No.”

Blank stare. The CBS News anchor, Lana Zak, wasn’t quite sure how to continue after the reply. She decided to move forward and attempt to “gotcha” van der Veen, and it doesn’t go well for her after that.

Again, the above media clip is a Must Watch!

What say you Def-Con News readers? Attorney Michael van der Veen represents the vast majority of Americans who just want the pompous, self-important pundits, journos, “experts” and politicians to begin acting ethically responsible and do their jobs for a change.

NY State Detention Camps for Anything the Governor Declares is a Threat?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Feb 15, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty,

Please would you provide clarity on this Bill.

Is this a legitimate Bill passed in NY, are we looking at FEMA camps being used for New York Americans who refuse vaccines or is it going to be worse…it’s all American’s or green card holders?

https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/a416

This is moving very fast the masses who don’t pay attention and those who are clueless won’t know what hit them.

Thank you,
RH

ANSWER: New York State Assembly Bill A416 empowers the governor, apparently in his sole discretion, to establish detention camps should the governor declare a public health emergency. This bill does allow for the detaining of anyone who “pose[s] an imminent and significant threat to the public health” until he or she is no longer contagious. It is far worse than some have reported for it is any disease, not just COVID.Assemblyperson N. Nick Perry (AD-58), recently proposed bill A416, currently in committee for presubmission to the Assembly for the 2021 session, which relates to the “removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases who are potentially dangerous to the public health.”This bill, as written, states, “(u)pon determining by clear and convincing evidence that the health of others is or may be endangered by a case, contact or carrier, or suspected case, contact or carrier of a contagious disease that, in the opinion of the governor… may pose an imminent and significant threat to the public health resulting in severe morbidity or high mortality, the governor or his or her delegee…may order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons by issuing a single order, identifying such persons either by name or by a reasonably specific description of the individuals or group being detained.”This bill is so unconstitutional it is stunning. The Bill fails to specify any timeframe, location, or criteria for the termination of this detention. It simply delegates full discretion to the governor and given Cuomo’s handling of nursing homes, this is just not acceptable. This is the most outrageous privacy violation and it reflects the dangerous disconnection these career politicians have with the people or the restraints upon government imposed by the Constitution.This bill allows the governor to create detention camps like the Nazis or what the Americans did to the Japanese. It provides authority to create a clear and direct path to unconstitutional and indefinite detainment which could last for life entirely at the governor’s sole discretion. Due Process of Law is torn to shreds because everything rests in the hands of the governor. That is plain and simply tyranny.To the best of my knowledge, this bill has NOT passed, and after what Cuomo has done, I seriously doubt it will become law at this time. However, this is the third time this has been attempted. This simply shows the mentality of politicians in New York toward the people.

No Scientific Evidence that Masks do Anything! Sweden Banning Masks


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Feb 15, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

What is really amazing is how far we as societies are allowing politicians who have no qualifications in medicine to roll out draconian decrees. These measures are really intent on dividing the people to prevent civil unrest because the socialistic system is collapsing and they needed an excuse to throw all the economic restraints out the window.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Mask-Box.jpg

I have shown before that I purchased a box of masks from Amazon, and on them, it clearly states it will not prevent any disease. So obviously, if you get corona and wore even two masks to bed at night, and a condom just in case you might get aids while sleeping alone, you have no legal case to sue the mask manufacturer for a faulty product.

Even the chronic liar Dr. Anthony Fauci stated at the beginning that masks will not do anything.Video Player

Here we have Fauci selling “inequality” and the Great Reset for the World Economic Forum. Where does he now have expertise in economics as well?

Officials in Halmstad municipality, Sweden, recently forced a teacher to remove their mask and prohibited the use of masks and all forms of PPE in schools. The municipality said there was no scientific evidence for wearing masks, citing the Swedish public health agency.

When will the people wake up and realize that this entire set of regulations from masks to lockdowns is really about suppressing freedoms to further the climate change agenda? It is not about health. Even the leftist Washington Post, which hates capitalism, had to admit that masks did not work during the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic where nearly 3% of the population died.

Was the Entire Capitol Seige a Deliberate False Flag?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Feb 15, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

AOC has deliberately lied saying she thought her life was in danger when the building she was in was never under siege. The offices of senators and members of Congress are is separate buildings. Pelosi had an office in the Capitol Building because she is the Speaker of the House. Yet her main office is still in a separate building. Clearly, AOC has been caught in an outright lie to dramatize the entire event and make it appear like a siege even telling Senator Cruz he wanted her dead. In the four weeks since the riot, AOC has said repeatedly that she feared for her life as a result of a “very close encounter” which never happened. She has now claimed: “The enemy is within the House of Representatives,” Pelosi said in an extraordinary declaration referring to Republican Congressmen. She has said: “Legitimate White Supremacists’ at the ‘Core of the Republican Caucus.”


While Donald Trump wanted a wall to keep the drug dealers, criminals, and illegal aliens out of the United States, Nancy Pelosi has built a wall to keep Americans out of the entire Capitol Hill Complex. This wall is NOT coming down. She has pretended it was necessary because of the impeachment trial. The concern is that it is actually permanent and intended also for the 2022 elections.  It may be there until the Biden Administration ends – if ever. Proposals have already been floating around to make it permanent. The Capitol Police are calling for a permanent fence and Pelosi has called Republicans the “enemy within” saying members of Congress have threatened Democrats. Forty-two Republican House members have sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) asking the speaker to remove the fence surrounding the Capitol. The letter was spearheaded by Rep. Ted Budd of North Carolina.

Peloso’s Wall is massive. Suddenly walls now work and they are no longer racist – just keeper of the peace. How much it cost to erect virtually overnight maybe would have funded lunch for the entire national schools has then been in session and not shut down for more than a month or more. Remember the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon back in 2001. We still do not know the full cost but to repair that office cost somewhere between $500 million to $1 billion to fix the building, according to estimates. When it comes to government waste, it is never addressed. In Philadelphia, the Lincoln Financial Field, the home to the Philadelphia Eagles since 2003, cost $512 million dollars to construct with a capacity of 68,532 people. Back in 2004, the Capitol Police estimated a fence would cost up to $50 million, The numbers this time have exceeded $250 million in estimates because of the urgency. Then there is the cost of all the military.

With evidence surfacing that the siege was planned weeks in advance and people in hoodies place pipe-bombs the night before that did not go off, were strategically necessary to create this wall which is perhaps to protect the Capitol when people start losing jobs from Biden’s climate change agenda. Remember the Bonus Army protests? They turned the tide for the election of FDR when Americans saw protesters killed and tanks on the streets in Washington.

That was the #1 leading event that resulted in Hoover losing the election. When federal troops killed vets. That was it! To get people in WWII, Congress had to then pass the GI Bill. Because they refused to pay the vets from World War I.

The Night of Terror: When Suffragists Were Imprisoned and Tortured in 1917

In 1917, 32 other women had been arrested for picketing outside the White House. Members of the National Woman’s Party had been peacefully demonstrating in the nation’s capital for months, holding banners and placards calling on President Woodrow Wilson to back a federal amendment that would give all U.S. women the right to vote. These women were arrested and the treatment they endured was a harrowing night on November 14th, 1917. They were deliberately treated brutally by guards who beat them and forced them to stand all night. They began to demand that they should be treated as political prisoners. They went on a hunger strike, and instead, they were repeatedly force-fed, and then some were even transferred in early November to the District Jail’s psychiatric ward.

The prison superintendent, William H. Whittaker, instructed his guards to teach the women a lesson. They had their hands shackled to the top of a cell, forcing them to stand all night. The guards seemed to enjoy the torture slamming women’s arms on an iron bench to the point some even lost consciousness after her head was smashed into an iron bed. One protester suffered a heart attack and was not even taken for medical attention until the following day. The Night of Terror was later published by Doris Stevens in Jailed for Freedom was published in 1920.

Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy Believes Trump’s MAGA Movement is Over – Boy Are They In For A Surprise


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 14, 2021 by Sundance

After republican Senator Bill Cassidy voted to impeach President Trump the Louisiana leadership voted to censure the self-serving DeceptiCon.  Today Bill Cassidy appears on This Week to explain his vote.  In essence Cassidy voted to support the UniParty agenda because he feels the era of Trump is over…. the cocktail class republicans are looking forward to getting back to the corrupt system of Wall Street financed graft.

“I think [Trump’s] force wanes. The Republican Party is more than just one person.”

The GOPe fails miserably not only because they are just one wing of a UniParty bird, but also because at their core they operate in an isolated elitist echo-chamber.  The Democrats play lip-service to their base; however, the Republicans have never attempted to hide their disdain for middle America values and the working class conservatives.

Whether they are pundits or politicians claiming to hold values on the conservative side of the ideological spectrum, the reality is – to them the business, and financial value, of DC is their primary interest.  They really do not care about working class people…. this is the reality of the UniParty system.  Democrats lie about it, Republicans openly mock it… and the result is that no-one represents the middle-class or working-class patriot.

The largest voting bloc in the United States is an assembly of people, actual taxpayers, without any representation in government.  Thus the rise of the MAGA movement and Donald Trump to the presidency.  The overwhelming majority of Democrats and Republicans just don’t understand that dynamic; President Trump did.

Sunday Talks, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Discusses COVID and the Travel Ban Threats From JoeBama Administration


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 14, 2021 by Sundance

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss how the state is able to balance COVID mitigation and still keep the economy open for people to work and make a living.  DeSantis notes the threats from the Biden administration to institute a travel ban on Florida are unconstitutional.

As Governor DeSantis notes schools have been open for in-person tuition all year and almost all businesses are operating without issue.  Millions of people are flowing into the Sunshine state as they flee the totalitarian dictates from Democrat governors.

Additionally DeSantis outlines the issues with Big Tech capturing confidential information from Floridan’s cell phones.  The privacy issues are being addressed by the FL legislature.

.

Governor Ron DeSantis is the leading candidate to carry the mantle of the MAGA community.  A commonsense outlook and a pragmatic approach toward retaining all inherent freedoms and liberties are the smart cornerstone of DeSantis policy.

Brazil Minister tells WEF – “I’m not a great fan of … Great Reset”


Armstrong Economics Blog/WEF Re-Posted Feb 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Brazil’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ernesto Araujo stresses the importance of freedom which is absent from the BigTech monopoly that has been forming. He added that he’s not a fan of the great reset, telling World Economic Forum (WEF) President Børge Brende that freedom and democracy are missing on the agenda, who did not kindly give his anti-democracy element in the Great Reset.

“You know, Børge, I’m not a great fan of the concept of the great reset. And why is that? We don’t have anything against what’s in it, which is sustainable development, equality, everything, but the question of what’s not there, and that’s basically the concept of freedom and democracy,” said the Brazilian foreign minister.

Well, I guess Brazil will now be censored by BigTech for disagreeing with their trip to shut down freedom of ideas, expression, and speech. I suppose they forgot to tell him the Great Reset is a conspiracy theory to anyone who disagrees.

Governments are Creating Horror Scenarios for Lockdowns to Retain Power


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Feb 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Magdalena Martullo-Blocher: “The federal government has introduced a dictatorship. He switched off democracy »

The entrepreneur Magdalena Martullo-Blocher, a Swiss billionaire, businesswoman, Swiss People’s Party politician, the CEO of Ems-Chemie, and the daughter and an heiress of former Swiss Federal Councillor Christoph Blocher has come out and called for an end to the partial lockdown in Switzerland. The social and financial costs for the measures are far too high, and the benefits are far too low. She says: “The federal government governs with horror scenarios so that it can retain power.”


More and more people are starting to come out against these lockdowns which were all instigated by Imperial College’s Neil Ferguson after getting grants from Bill Gates who had to resign for breaking the lockdown he said was vital to impose so he could have sex with his married girlfriend on the side.

There is ABSOLUTELY no scientific evidence whatsoever that lockdowns work, but worse still, they have NEVER before ever been used in 6,000 years of history where a country has been locked down because of some disease. This entire thing is UNQUESTIONABLE a scam to further climate change which they already tried but failed after exploiting a 16-year-old girl Greta Thunberg.

This is the entire agenda and they are counting on the dishonesty of bribing doctors paying 100% if the patient had COVID but zero if they have the flu. They are counting on BigTech censoring everything that shows the truth even removing doctors from YouTube in testimony before Congress which is a public record. The corruption in BigTech is off the charts. Then we have the corrupt left-wing media from the New York Times to CNN who are trying once again to usher in Marxist Utopia ad they tried supporting Stalin during the 1930s high his genocide of 7 million Ukrainians because they were just collateral damage for the GREATER GOOD which somehow made it different than what the Nazis did.

We have all world leaders mouthing the very same script which was written for them by the World Economic Forum. This is absolutely unprecedented. When Biden stands up and said he has named his program “Build Back Better” nobody in mainstream press asks is the rest of the world copying your platform? Or are you copying theirs?



Then we have Fauci lying to the American public who is acting more like the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele (1911 – 1979) carrying out experimental vaccines that skipped animal trials and switching every position from where masks do nothing to now you need to wear two. He is not only implicated in experimenting with this very virus, but has accepted money from Gates as has the FDA, and on top of all of that, he is appearing in World Economic Forum promotional videos for the Great Reset talking about economic inequality is the major crisis (Marxism). Nobody in the press will address any of this.

And now Joe Biden is threatening to restrict the movement of all Americans claiming he has the power to do that while opening the borders for illegal aliens.

Even the Royal Family has been anti-population claiming the human species is itself a plague and that was back in 1984! Then you have Bill Gates and Boris Johnson who has been advocating the reduction of the population for many years. I suppose if you starve people and turn off their heat so they freeze to death, that does not make you a genocidal maniac. Not sure how this dynamic duo justifies their philosophies or what they are not on some list like pedophiles since they threaten all of society, not just a select group.

When is enough going to be enough? These people are incredibly dangerous!

Senate Acquits Trump as Expected


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Tr-Posted Feb 13, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Senate acquitted former President Donald Trump a second time Saturday after a historic impeachment trial which was totally unconstitutional since Trump was no longer President and the Chief Just refused to preside. Had Trump been impeached, he could have appealed to the Supreme Court, and then he would, at last, be able to present his evidence of the rigged election since they used that as the basis for pushing his followers onward. Personally, I would have loved to see that for then we would have a really interesting case.

The absurdity of this election was the Democrats planning to call a witness who had no direct knowledge but was simply repeating what someone else said. That is called “HEARSAY” and it is not acceptable evidence. This was not a trial, it was a political roast – nothing more. But it illustrates just how far we have fallen from a real government. The Pelosi Wall they claimed would be there for the impeachment trial because millions of people might storm Capitol Hill again. Yet the Democrats have been secretly proposing to make the wall permanent. So they stopped the Trump Wall to prevent drug dealers and illegal aliens from pouring into the country, but Nancy’s law is to protect Congress from the evil American people. Why? Because when the job losses start to sky-rocket because of their climate change actions, do they envision hoards of unemployed storming the capitol like the Bonus Army in 1932?

The polls were warning that 70% of Republicans would leave the party and move to a 3rd party. The vote was 57-43 which fell short of the two-thirds majority required for conviction. Seven Republicans joined the 50 lawmakers who caucus with Democrats and that is very disconcerting for this suggests that they will be joining Democrats on the draconian legislation they are planning to impose that will change the United States forever. These 7 Republicans are rogue and bought into this political show when they know it was illegal. If this was legal, then they could impeach Biden for acts when he was Vice President. So how would that be legal to justify removing him from office? This just gets so convoluted it is insane.
