Shut up! they Shouted

Big Tech Tyrants

While luxuriating in Tahiti, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey made a shameful but bold decision: He removed thousands of conservative voices from his platform, including GrrrGraphics. Our mass violation? We were all pro-Trump. Dorsey lied and said we were promoting violence while he allowed ‘hang Pence’ messages to stay.

Not to be outdone, Jeff Bezos also ‘cleansed’ the Twitter alternative, Parler, from his company’s cloud servers. Trump supporters are now being smeared as ’terrorists’ by the far left mega billionaires.

BREAKING @GRRRGRAPHICS HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FROM TWITTER FOLLOW US ON GAB SAME ID @GRRRGRAPHICS

Throughout 2020, Facebook was busy censoring conservative voices on their platform. Mark Zuckerberg is good friends with China’s President Xi. Zuckerberg speaks Chinese. He asked Xi to name his child. Zuckerberg clearly interfered with the election by refusing to allow any comments or links to Hunter’s notorious laptop. Facebook went the Hillary route of lying and said (with zero proof) that it was ‘Russian disinformation.’

Try using Google for any searches of conservative opinions and you’ll see page after page of leftist opinions stating why conservatives are wrong. Goggle does evil and it’s now nothing more than a socialist propaganda arm—not a search engine.

Many on the left claim it’s perfectly fine for these CEOs to burn conservative opinions. After all, they are private companies and can do whatever they want. Not exactly. They are publicly-held companies. Today Twitter’s stock got slammed and rightfully so. Let’s hope the mega billionaires are all taken down a peg or two, but more importantly, we all need to point out the hypocrisy of the left for blatantly violating our First Amendment.

The lefty mega billionaires know their plans for us are unpopular. Their ideas don’t stand up in the marketplace of ideas, so they want to limit and control that marketplace. They know this is not aligned with our Constitution, but they don’t care. They admire the Chicom system more. Hence their naked display of reckless power.

They must be awfully afraid if they’re resorting to silencing millions of Americans.

The False Flag – Capitol Siege?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jan 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

It is clear that the police opened the doors and stood by as they allowed protestors into the Capitol. They have now charged some police for allowing people in. That is not grounds to impeach Trump. But Pelosi is doing this to try to tar and feather him to prevent him from ever running again. She is also trying to demoralize anyone who voted for him – a very standard psychological warfare tactic to crush the Republican Party into dust.

This is the same routine they pulled off for 9/11. I have laid it out that while the terrorists hijacked the planes, the government knew that was coming and allowed it to take place to gain tremendous power. The first crew of terrorists were in MCC and even drew the Twin Towers on the wall with planes going into them. It was the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) employee Mr. Kumb who provided the recreation materials they used. The BOP came down to 10 south and filmed everything. They knew what was coming down and used it to expand their power allowing it to happen.

I already receive hate mail blaming everything on Trump supporters, so lock-up 50% of the country. The hatred is pouring out, so I do not see how there will be reconciliation going forward when our computer has Panic Cycles in politics in 2022. That’s why we have Socrates — it will take a computer to shift through all this nonsense.

Project Northwoods was the same scheme, which is on the pro-government site Wikipedia. Kill Americans and blame Cuba to justify an invasion. This “siege” of the Capitol did not appear to be breaking down doors. It will be used to push through the Domestic Terrorist Act and, once again, increase the power of the state, which was written ahead of this event.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Shifts “We Must Reopen The Economy”


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on January 11, 2021 by Sundance

With the JoeBama administration looming, suddenly New York totalitarian Governor Andrew Cuomo has a reversal in position:

If you read that and said… “wha, wait.. huh?”, you would not be alone.   After initiating lock-down measures that collapsed the New York economy because there was no other option…. suddenly the risks of economic collapse are worse than the COVID-19 threat, which is the same message President Trump has been sharing for months. What gives?

[…] New York has used just half of its roughly one million vaccine doses so far, and Cuomo said New York won’t have enough doses for roughly four million eligible New Yorkers until mid-April, based on the state’s federal allotment of 300,000 vaccines per week.

[…] “We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,” Cuomo said.  (read more)

The timing of this seems to be connected to the shift in administration; which would imply, publicly, that COVID shutdowns are indeed -as most have said- very politically motivated.

It will be interesting to see how California Governor Gavin Newsom responds to the shift in position from Cuomo.

The economic damage has been catastrophic, but all of the totalitarian governors have used the COVID threat to justify their action.  This shift today is in direct contrast to several months of narrative drum-beating.  Is this the inflection point where we discover that COVID was weaponized for maximum political value?

Politics & the Take Over of the USA by 2022


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Do you think this was meant to be like a 911 event to use against the people with Domestic Terrorism legislation?

VB

ANSWER: Yes. There was an effort to even take hostages and people had plastic ties to do that. If you look at this video, it was the real Trump supporters who did not go along with that agenda and actually fought them off. The mainstream press will not cover that because it does not support their narrative. This was a major effort to discredit not just Trump, but 50% of the country and to bring about submission. It did not turn out to be as bad as they hoped to justify the Domestic Terrorist Act just as they used 911 to push through the Patriot Act which lowered the surveillance of money transfers from $10,000 to $3,500.

The Domestic Terrorism Act legislation was already prepared. They are against “populism” and they are calling for the removal of those on the Hill who supported Trump. You even had John Kerry state that the danger was “populism” and this Great Reset had to also address that. In other words, the end of any democratic right to affect government. In Europe, you have no right to vote for the European Commission or for the head of the EU. You vote only for Parliament which cannot overrule the Commission. They criticize China and call it a communist government because the people do not vote, but I see no real difference with the political system in Europe. Now with the ability to change votes, what elections are have been reduced to a theatre play.

These people have a problem. I warned the WEC that they have a very short fuse. They are trying to pull off this takeover of the nation in 2021 and we already have Biden saying he will eliminate the NRA and they will seek to hunt down people with guns. Biden is already calling this “Domestic Terrorism” and the legislation will authorize imprisonment even for speech. This will be the end of the United States as we have known it. They will stack the Hill and turn on the Supreme Court.

At the WEC I warned that their Agenda 2030 would be brought forward and it will attempt to put in motion by 2022. They know they must use this momentum now to push forward as fast as possible. Granted, they are probably using our models since they tried so hard to get me to join their club over the decades. Looking at our model, 2022 is the short fuse. They do not have until 2030. We have never had Panic Cycles in our political models like this since the Russian Revolution and the Great Depression.

Parler CEO John Matze Discusses Deplatforming and Big Tech Moves To Control Free Speech


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree house on January 11, 2021 by Sundance

The CEO of Parler, John Matze, appears on Fox News to discuss the targeting of the social media platform and the removal of their website from Amazon servers.

Obviously the issue of targeted deplatforming is one close to the current community of CTH 2.0 users and administrators after we suffered a similar targeting from WordPress/Automattic.  However, there is something about the Parler construct that is puzzling.  WATCH:

Outwardly, Parler launched as an alternative to Twitter for conservative and liberty-minded voices concerned about having a space for free speech.  With that in mind why would Parler start by using Amazon host services for their platform?

While it is not OK for Parler to be removed under any circumstances, John Matze primary responsibility was stewardship toward the Parler user community.  Responsible stewardship would not include going to the ideological Big Tech enemy, Amazon, for the primary provider tools for the platform.

Additionally, it appears the vendor tech community that supported the Parler platform simultaneously announced they too would drop Parler as a customer, following the announcement by Amazon.  Parler was apparently caught off-guard.

With Big Tech and social media companies now increasingly allowing users to be identified and/or targeted; and considering the sensitivity of privacy for all web-hosted engagements; perhaps now our CTH community has a greater context for why we go to such painstaking levels during the rebuild to remain anti-fragile.

A few examples below as noted when we were addressing the commenting system:

CTH 2.0 does not have any tracking software initiated to recognize the user in the comment system. THERE ARE NO COOKIES deployed to track you. There is no system in place by CTH to monitor you or recognize you. This is part of our current privacy position.

This is a privacy and tracking issue. CTH 2.0, as an independent website, is currently not tracking or applying any host generated tracking data of the participants.

Most websites do apply some version of tracking via “cookies” to make your engagement part of an active tracking system (make user experience easier); and/or use those cookies to deliver you targeted advertising.

CTH wants to ensure that your user-data is private to you.  This is why we did not originally engage the third-party Disqus commenting platform.  We do not want any tracking system on the website for your data.

We selected comment software from WPDiscuz (not affiliated with Disqus in any form) specifically because we can control the platforms internal content according to our privacy demands.

The content in the Treehouse community (the comment section) is derived from your choices, your freedom. It is your discussion and we are stewards protecting your conversation.

No outside system is gathering any user data or content on the commenting platform, everything within CTH 2.0 is being built on a very stable and private proprietary foundation.

On email notifications.  Again, we explain that currently we do not have an active email notification system for new posts in place.  The reason for the delay is again a matter of privacy.  An email auto-notification system is done by a third-party provider.

[…] One of our priorities right now is establishing an email notification system where you can subscribe to automatic notifications of new posts etc.  As with almost all systems of this type (there are many) it involves the use of a third party email transmission process. Y’all are aware that privacy is a CTH priority, so we are being very careful about vetting the service and setting up this notification system to protect CTH users.

CTH does not compile user information, does not engage in the manufacture of processes that assemble lists of users or any user data. We are working to ensure we do not end up creating an external list of subscribers that would be vulnerable to exploitation.  Your privacy in all matters related to CTH engagement is my priority.  (read more)

The example of Parler is a real life example, playing out in real time, providing you context for why some of the CTH 2.0 features you request are slow to deployment.

Thanks again for bearing with us as we work through some technical issues, search for optimal solutions, and fiercely retain the original values and mission priority of the Treehouse.  The Truth Has No Agenda

Myself and the incredibly hardworking site admins consider ourselves stewards to this community. YOU are what matters.  Your ability to analyze, discuss, crowdsource and provide your comments on the subject matter is what makes CTH home.

The key to Treehouse 2.0 is recognizing we have built something within a big tech ecosphere that wants to see us removed. By being proactive we have avoided some serious challenges and that makes us better stewards for our conversation.

Remember, YOU are the important part.

Without you CTH doesn’t really have a purpose. Individually we could stand outside shouting at trees with no impact; but together, sitting on the figurative cyber-porch, the conversation is rich with unique skill-sets, subject matter experts and life-long experiences that make discussion so much more valuable.

The importance of safe assembly is more prominent than ever…

FBI Warns of Armed Protest at Biden’s Inauguration


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jan 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Now we have the FBI warning that there may be an armed assault against Biden during the inauguration. This is getting really crazy. I really hope that is NOT the case but I would not put it past someone deliberately doing so to blame Trump supporters to drive 50% of the country underground. On the other hand, there are crazy people who might try something stupid like that which will do nothing for the nation but divide the nation even more.  Any such act will be supporting the Domestic Terrorist Act passage virtually unanimously as was the Patriot Act. My concern is that our computer is projecting rising civil unrest and absolute chaos during the midterm election in 2022.

The Democrats are already looking to impose sanctions on anyone who supported Trump on Capitol Hill. This is in direct conflict with Biden’s theme:

Joe Biden announces ‘America United’ as inauguration theme

The only way to calm the waters is to demonstrate that he will NOT follow the directive of the World Economic Forum and stay middle of the road. Any drastic measures will NOT unite the nation and certainly not mandatory vaccines. Ending capital gains tax and imposing a wealth tax will be burdensome to every one. Even the poor would have to file a wealth tax form to prove they are poor. The further conspiracy theories that Trump has signed the Insurrection Act does not help matters. There is no evidence of such a move and Pelosi has been contacting the military brass to ensure that does not take place. It was last invoked in 1992 by George H.W. Bush during the unrest in Los Angeles after the acquittal of police officers who beat Rodney King. Claims he will arrest the VP and the leaders in Congress do not seem to have any validity. It is not likely that the military would follow such an order anyhow.

Meanwhile, there is a wholesale departure from BigTech. Twitter has lost so far 12% of its traffic since banning Trump. Even Angla Merkel, the head of Germany, has called Twitter’s actions “problematic” to put it mildly. Nevertheless, Twitter seems to think even the US Constitution offends their guidelines. Their actions have been far worse than the accusations of Rissian interference in 2016. BigTech could care less since the Democrats have promised them access to banking online (see IMF). The basic tenets of a Free Society is that I must defend your right to say what I may disagree with. That is the freedom of speech which is no longer respected. As one reader commented:

Regarding the BIG-TECH suppression of conservative political speech and its squashing of a rising competitor, Parler, we’ve seen all this before. BIG-TECH is now a Soviet political commissar with the business monopoly power of Standard-Oil.
The suppression of conservative political speech, as practiced by Twitter and Facebook, benefits the progressive views of their leaders to the determent of competing ideologies. Exhibit ‘A’ is the censorship of a legitimate newspaper story by the oldest running American paper in existence founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, The NY Post, prior to a presidential election to mitigate the damage Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal imparted to their preferred candidate, Joe Biden.
Google and Apple, cutting off Parler’s access at the front-end in their app stores, is equivalent to a Standard-Oil type conglomerate denying access to oil well drillers. Amazon, on the back-end, revoked Parler’s access to its servers; this is analogous to Standard-Oil cutting off a growing competitor’s access to refiners.
I am shocked this is happening in the United States of America and am saddened that as is oft the case, history repeats itself. It appears we will have to experience the lessons of tyranny through experience due to a profound failure in the education of history to our youth. Let’s make Orwell fiction again.
RW

Obviously, we will have to look at the computer forecasts for 2021 which will be really interesting in the midst of all this drama. I do not look forward to them using this virus and a claimed new strain to lockdown the country nationally to defeat a virus that is really intended to reduce CO2. This is right out of the psychological warfare manual. As I have reported before, there was more 4x the number of people who died during the 1969 Hong Kong Flu and they did not act like this locking down the world. They even had Woodstock in the middle of that pandemic.

The economic damage is off the charts with corporate chains saying they are leaving NYC or closing operations. We still see the economy declining into 2022. Another round of lockdowns will ensure there is nothing “normal” to return to just a John Kerry who will be in charge of the climate said.

Here is the COVID Restriction Map. Select your country.

The Control Mechanisms Expand, Big Tech (Facebook) Targets Ron Paul


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on January 11, 2021 by Sundance

It is not just Donald Trump and his 100+ million supporters of freedom and liberty being targeted, Big Tech is now moving against any voice that would be problematic for the goals and objectives of JoeBama.  Today Facebook targets Ron Paul.

(LINK)

The totalitarian enterprises are global in scale.  As many have noted, this will not stop with just targeting President Trump and his supporters.  Big Tech is now advancing against all voices they deem adverse to their ideological agenda.   This is only the beginning.

We can well expect to see this approach metastasize quickly and spread to other nations (Brazil, Poland, Hungary) where nationalist and populist movements are visible.

Extreme control is a reaction to fear.  The globalists, writ large, are fearful of the population.  We are at the inflection point.

Orwell Was Right – Facebook Will Remove Content With ‘Stop The Steal’ Phrase


Posted originally on The conservative Tree house on January 11, 2021 by Sundance

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words” … “The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.”

― George Orwell

In the latest effort to ensure the totalitarian interests of the authoritarian state are never questioned, Facebook has announced no phrases will be allowed that call into question the legitimacy of the installed JoeBama leadership.  This is absolutely Orwellian:

(Reuters) – Facebook Inc said on Monday it was treating the next two weeks as a “major civic event” and would remove certain content containing the phrase “stop the steal” from its social media platforms.

“With continued attempts to organize events against the outcome of the US presidential election that can lead to violence, and use of the term by those involved in Wednesday’s violence in DC, we’re taking this additional step in the lead up to the inauguration”, the company said in a blog post.  (read more)

The need to have extreme control is a reaction to fear.

Model Predicts Things Humanly Impossible


Armstrong Economics Blog/Socrates Re-Posted Jan 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: OK. I have followed you and Socrates for a long time now. How could it see that the 8th was going to be more important than the 6th and that the vote was going to be postponed?

I am blown away.

SH

ANSWER: I am here only to try to interpret its output without my personal opinion. I have stated many times, I am the one who is wrong not the computer. I really do not know. It is monitoring everything on a global basis. The most subtle moves are recorded and input into its final conclusion.

I use to race cars. When you are driving around the track, you have to watch every car around you. The subtle move indicates what they are thinking. If you have not been in such an atmosphere, it is hard to see. Even when I drive today I still observe every car around me and the slightest move is still an indication of what they are thinking.

June 27, 1998

All I can say is this is what Socrates has developed. By monitoring everything, it is picking up the most subtle moves. It had picked up $100 billion going into Russia in the summer of 1998 and $150 billion fleeing. We put out a warning that Russia would collapse and that began in September 1998. It had also lined up with the Economic Confidence Model.

Socrates was picking it up in global markets. They ended up calling me Mr. Yen because I sold $1 billion at 147 which was the Yearly Bullish Reversal which the market ran up, tested, and then collapsed to 103.

DeutscheBank-1

I was named Fund Manager of the year in 1998 because of that trade. We made 60% in a single month. I was named Economist of the Decade for the 1980s because of the ECM and Socrates, and most recently FX Analyst of the year over the collapse of the Swiss/Euro Peg.

These things are NOT because I am smarter than everyone else. It is because Socrates is monitoring the entire world. So when it was showing that the 8th would be more important than the 6th, I personally thought it would be over the objections. I did not expect the siege of the Capitol Building, but with hindsight, it appears that was in the works and it was the final nail in the coffin to end Democracy as we have known it. Any election from here on out will simply be rigged. Biden will last perhaps into 2022, and Harris will then take over and she will still be able to run twice into 2032.

The Model still shows World War is coming 2025-2027 time period. All this chaos and demand to force China and Russia to comply with this Green Agenda is only pushing both of them together against the West.

Our Super Rich Friends & Big Tech


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 11, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

BigTech has shown its true colors. They have been censoring conservatives to push the left-wing revolution because they have been promises, as the “SUPER RICH FRIENDS” that they will inherit the banking systems. They will no longer bail out the banks. Last March, the Fed began to lend on commercial paper for the first time since its origin in 1913. and the Federal Reserve is moving rapidly to accept direct deposits from institutions thereby circumventing the banks altogether (see IMF).

There is now a mass exodus from Twitter and other social media. Google and Apple have been banning alternative apps trying to prevent people from having an alternative to their BigTek regime. What they fail to understand is they are now confirming the conspiracy theories about them and this is just not good for the country. Perhaps 50% of America will be eventually moving away from them all.

Who knows? Our computer has forecast that the mid-elections are going to be CHAOTIC and that is just not normal to have Panic Cycles in our political model for 2022. Here we have Panic Cycles both in 2022 and 2024. It does not matter who you voted for. Politicians never do what they promise. If you think everything will just return to normal, I suppose that is what you call the triumph of hope over experience.
