250 Million Protestors in India – Almost the Population of the United States


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Dec 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

For centuries, India was the source of the spice trade. Christopher Columbus thought he discovered a shortcut to India but bumped into America. The various spices in India have been used also for practices such as yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda. They are deeply rooted in Indian and South Asian culture. Today, as it has been for thousands of years, these herbs commonly used for these practices, such as turmeric, ginger, and ashwagandha, are exported from India and Modi has pulled another fast one on the people.

Indian farmers are currently protesting against unfair new agriculture laws and this has seen 250 million people joining the protest against the tyranny of the Modi government which has set controversial new agricultural laws. The Indian government set three new agricultural laws in September 2020. Previously, the government fixed prices for a variety of crops, meaning the farmers were guaranteed minimum profits for their work. However, under these new laws. Modi has directed farmers to sell directly to companies and sellers, meaning the farmers are no longer guaranteed the same minimum profits. Now they must negotiate for themselves when it comes to finding buyers.

For the past two weeks, Indian crop farmers have led more than 250 million protestors against these new agricultural laws in the Indian capital city New Delhi, according to the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre. Many protesters have also ignored the coronavirus pandemic restrictions. The protests have shut down major highways, shops, markets, and more (see The Guardian). The participants say they will not cease their protests until the government listens, (see India Times).

Extending Lockdowns into March 2021


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I warned the objective with these lockdowns is to crush the economy so they can “build [it] back better,” which means they must destroy the economy as we know it. They will continue to extend these lockdowns throughout 2021 and use them as the excuse to end democracy and elections 2021-2022. The lockdown which was just for a few weeks was extended to include Christmas and New Years’ and it will constantly be extended to achieve their political goals. They are already hinting at extending them into March in Europe.

To “build back better” by bringing CO2 to zero, they will continue the lockdowns despite the fact that after one year, CO2 has not declined. Gates has used his money to back this agenda to drive CO2 to zero and reduce the population. They are targeting cows and want to end meat production. Bill Gates, with Leonardo DiCaprio, has already has been building that industry in anticipation of claiming animals can get COVID and must be exterminated — i.e. 17 million Minks. They are claiming your pets can now get COVID and the CDC says they must be confined to the house. What’s next? We must kill all our dogs and cats? Make no mistake about it, they would do the same with people if they could get away with it.

This is no different from Karl Marx and his entire idea of redesigning the world economy by confiscating all wealth and making all decisions from the central political authority. Marx was also all about shutting down religion — the opium of the masses.

A World in a State of Total Confusion


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 10, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

While 17 states have joined Texas in their lawsuit against Pennsylvania for a fraudulent election, YouTube/Google and the new BigTech conspiracy against the people vow to delete any content claiming the election was tarnished in any way pronouncing Bide is the president-elect which is totally illegal for only the Electoral College can make that determination. The Georgia Governor refuses to investigate anything including dead voters which is a common fraud in every election. The Republican Party file a suit against the governor to mandate he follow the law. Then in Delaware, the US Attorney is investigating Hunter Biden’s taxes which can lead to Biden himself. Is there any wonder why our computer has been highlighting the week of December 21 following the Electoral College vote and then the week of January 4th which is the Georga runoff for the Senate rather than inauguration day? The target week of the 4th is the biggest target and it is that election that will determine who controls the Senate.

VACCINE:

We are getting in reports from around the world that people are getting sick from the vaccine. Pfizer has issued a warning now itself. I have heard from health workers who had to quit or take the vaccine. Both Pfizer and Moderna are producing separate vaccines that use messenger RNA, or mRNA, to trigger the immune system to produce protective antibodies without using actual bits of the virus. This experimental coronavirus vaccine is the first-ever authorized vaccines that use mRNA. In reality, there are no long-term studies and this whole thing has been pushed for political purposes – not health. Nobody in government cares about us – EVER! We are the great unwashed who are tolerated – but perhaps not for long.

COMMENT FROM SLOVAKIA:

Slovakia heading into its 3rd total lockdown. Everything will be closed, Christmas is canceled, and people are to stay at home at least until mid-January. The (insane & criminal) PM said the end of lockdown will depend on the “situation”, and lockdown is to only end once it’s “safe” for kids to go to school. (So, I guess by the summer…LOL.)

Note that Slovaks have been forced to get tested several times since October, in three rounds of nationwide testing. The testing was basically mandatory because those without a negative test certificate were not allowed to leave home, go into shops, work, or even go for a walk. The “excuse” for the periodic testing was… to avoid a new lockdown.

Also, from January all medium and large firms must periodically test every employee for “covid”!

Those who lived under Mao or Stalin were better off… I knew this was coming – that we’d soon come to envy them – but didn’t know it would come this fast.

CONCLUSION:

Is it any wonder why everything is just going so nuts? We have even the Dow making a while outside reversal on a yearly basis. That is rare in the very least.

17 States File Amicus Brief With Supreme Court in Support of Texas Election Lawsuit


Posted oginanally on The Conservative tree house on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

Late Monday night the state of Texas filed a lawsuit directly in the Supreme Court against four states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvan and Wisconsin. The intent is to block those states from casting their Electoral College votes for Joe Biden due to the unconstitutional nature of mail-in ballot use – against legislative approval and requirement.

Today 17 states filed an amicus brief [pdf link] in support of the Texas lawsuit.

The seventeen states include Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.

As noted in the supportive filing: “The States have a strong interest in preserving the proper roles of state legislatures in the administration of federal elections, and thus safeguarding the individual liberty of their citizens.”

[…] “States have a strong interest in ensuring that the votes of their own citizens are not diluted by the unconstitutional administration of elections in other States. When non-legislative actors in other States encroach on the authority of the “Legislature thereof” in that State to administer a Presidential election, they threaten the liberty, not just of their own citizens, but of every citizen of the United States who casts a lawful ballot in that election — including the citizens of amici States.

Here’s the Full Amicus Brief:

…”A true patriot keeps the attention of his fellow citizens awake to their grievances, and not allow them to rest till the causes of their just complaints are removed.”…

48 States and US Government Sue Facebook for Illegal Monopoly Practices


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

Facebook is facing a lawsuit filed by 48 states for monopoly practices and the FTC is joining with supportive legal action. NY Attorney General Latitia James held a news conference to announce the antitrust lawsuit using Instagram & WhatsApp as examples.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Wednesday sued to force a breakup of Facebook as 48 states and districts accused the company in a separate lawsuit of abusing its market power in social networking to crush smaller competitors.

The antitrust lawsuits were announced by the Federal Trade Commission and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The FTC specifically asked a court to force Facebook sell off its Instagram and WhatsApp messaging services.

“It’s really critically important that we block this predatory acquisition of companies and that we restore confidence to the market,” James said during a press conference announcing the lawsuit. (read more)

Facebook is the world’s biggest social network with 2.7 billion users and a company with a market value of nearly $800 billion whose CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the world’s fifth-richest individual and the most public face of Big Tech swagger.

Google, YouTube, Announce They Will Block Content That Challenges 2020 Election Result


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

After the Marxist-left spent four years challenging the result of the 2016 election, forming the “resistance” and calling Donald Trump an illegitimate president; and after Big Tech supported, allowed and amplified that message on all media platforms; Big Tech’s largest control agent, Google (via YouTube), now steps-in to say they will not permit content that challenges the outcome of a demonstrably fraudulent 2020 election.

…”we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.”…

(Source)

To use a familiar movie metaphor, what we are witnessing is BIG TECH activating their Death Star to destroy opposition and advance their ideological agenda on behalf of their EMPIRE.  Google Inc will target and shut-down any voice that challenges them.

While alarming and disconcerting in the extreme. This is not necessarily a bad outcome, because now the true rebellion will begin.  Now the Rebel Alliance will grow as ordinary people start to take matters much more seriously.

Keep in mind, the hypocrisy is only a small aspect, they don’t care about your opinion on this issue.  This is the advancement of a totalitarian regime goal by ‘any means necessary’.  CTH readers are smart, we saw this coming… we know how to lead a rebellion with the tools of an insurgency.

Big Tech is going to cleave the entire network of communication along ideological lines. Totalitarian leftists -vs- Freedom patriots.  Big assembled tech -vs- the Rebel Alliance.

Immediately after the Google/YouTube announcement, our friends at Right Side Broadcasting (RSBN) were notified their content would be removed.

These are historic times, unsettling times and times of great consequence.  This is why CTH has focused so extensively on the need for fellowship in all forms.  This is why CTH 2.0 is being designed with a very specific base platform.

To give you an idea of how strong our CTH community is.  The average in-bound traffic into any platform is 80 to 90% driven by search engine results (Google, Duck-Duck etc). That means Google controls 80 percent of a websites communication.

By contrast less than 10% of our CTH community comes through search engine results.  CTH is directly linked to millions of members of the Rebel Alliance without the need for Google etc, and that number is now growing on our own platform.

We have been blessed and guided. We are very fortunate.  CTH 2.0 is now, and will be, isolated from the reach of Big Tech influence.  CTH will stand bold, free and advance the position of liberty.  You will see much more in the coming weeks/months about how CTH will keep the lantern lit in the Old North Church.

In the final analysis this effort by Big Tech will fail.  There are already solutions surfacing, and there will be even more solutions coming even faster now.

Freedom is inherently an American trait.

State AG Ken Paxton Explains Legal Position of Texas in Supreme Court Election Lawsuit


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 8, 2020 by Sundance

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears on Sean Hannity to discuss the legal position of his state in an election lawsuit about arbitrary state processes used in the 2020 election.

Paxton, on behalf of Texas, has sued battleground states Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin to challenge the unconstitutional creation of their mail-in ballots within the election.  Several states have now joined Texas in alignment with the lawsuit.

God Bless Texas – State AG Files Direct 2020 Election Challenge Lawsuit With Supreme Court


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 8, 2020 by Sundance

There are only a few instances where a party can file a direct lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court, a state claiming harm by another state is one of those instances.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit [pdf here] with the supreme court seeking and emergency injunction against Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia “from taking action to certify presidential electors or to have such electors take any official action including without limitation participating in the electoral college.”

The Texas AG argues that arbitrary changes made by the state’s governors, secretaries of states and election supervisors were “inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.”

The lawsuit states: “these non-legislative changes … facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution.” […] “By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.”

Paxton notes the intent of the states may have been changes in good faith, due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts; however, the end result of the changes is in direct violation to the Constitution and therefore creates the harm.

“Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting.” […] “The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States.”

Arrogant and Petulant Judge Sullivan Finally Dismisses Flynn Case as Moot, It’s Over


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 8, 2020 by Sundance

Yesterday, in a final foot-stomping and teeth-gnashing exhibition of judicial activism, federal judge Emmet Sullivan allowed a host of political amicus briefs to be provided to the case file against Lt. General Michael Flynn.

The obvious judicial intent was to legally smear General Flynn with as many corrupt and manipulative Lawfare opinions as possible. In essence Sullivan was just pouring on the dirt after President Trump stepped in and said “enough” granting Flynn a deserved, full and unconditional pardon.

I didn’t write about Sullivan’s scheme and vile nature last night because: (a) I was very angry, and (b) I suspected Sullivan’s only intent was to besmirch the good name and reputation of Flynn in the judicial record.  Ultimately Sullivan’s childish Lawfare antics held no legal or judicial merit because Flynn has been pardoned. It was all moot.

Today, after stomping his feet and throwing a verbal tantrum, as expected Judge Sullivan announces the motion to dismiss the case is granted.

I’ve got two words for you Judge Sullivan, and they ain’t Merry Christmas!

And, for the record, I ain’t too happy with AG Bill Barr in this endeavor either.

Instead of using the truth of his office to stand up to the corruption in this case, AG Barr used USAO Jeff Jensen to deliver the evidence of institutional corruption to Sidney Powell and made her expose the rotten core activity of the DOJ and FBI.

AG Bill Barr hid behind the skirt of Sidney Powell because he could not bring himself to visibly and publicly admit the institutions of the DOJ and FBI were/are compromised beyond recovery….

I wrote this  in early 2019, and I stand by it; it’s exactly what happened.  FUBAR:

SSCI Vice Chairman Mark Warner, SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and Acting SSCI Chair Marco Rubio are dirty.  So too was Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, FBI Director Chris Wray, FBI Deputy Director David Bowditch and FBI Legal Counsel Dana Boente.  Their predecessors were dirty: Comey, McCabe and Baker.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller was dirty. Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was dirty.  All of the special counsel lawyers including Andrew Weissmann and Brandon Van Grack (Flynn prosecutor) were/are dirty.

Additionally, Mueller’s lead FBI Agent David Archey, who was promoted after the corrupt special counsel investigation to be the head of the Virginia FBI field office, dirty.  FBI official David Archey, like ICIG Michael Atkinson, conveniently put into a place where he can run cover for FBI operations that might expose dirty DC and Virgina-based FBI activities.  See how that works?

Try telling me with all we know about the Mueller investigation how anyone on the special counsel assignment was participating in a fraudulent investigation without knowing.

Special Agent Peter Strzok, dirty.  FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, dirty.  FBI Lawyer Lisa Page, dirty.  FBI media spox Michael Kortan, dirty.  James Comey, Andrew McCabe and James Baker, dirty-dirty-dirty.  Fortunately all of these are fired… but what about Supervisory Special Agent Joseph Pientka (SSA1)?  Pientka clearly outlined as dirty by Inspector General Michael Horowitz report on FISA abuse, and yet still employed; still providing cover.

So what exactly does that make IG Horowitz?  At best the lead corruption manager who comes in willfully blind behind the Bondo application team…

FUBAR.

All of it !
