Canada COVID Concentration Camps II?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Aug 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Trudeau denies that there are COVID internment or concentration camps, but does not directly come out and deny it. He simply says: this story is designed to “undermine people’s confidence in their institutions, in their democracies.” But they are trying to use COVID to end democracy using COVID as the excuse. While I cannot verify 100% that there are such camps, Trudeau has also not proven that there are no such camps. Let cameras into these places with barbwire fences and see what is really there. Some say they are gas facilities. Let cameras in and settle the question once and for all. Are they in use now? Is anyone inside at all? Or are they for the future?

Canadians were required to isolate in a hotel if they entered from the United States or elsewhere. This is why the rumor was that they could take your children if they tested positive and you did not.

As of August 9th, Canada is opening the board to Americans IF YOU ARE FULLY VACCINATED. I have NOT been able to verify that there are actually camps rather than hotels that Canada was isolating their own citizens.

Pathologist Dr Ryan Cole Delivers Concerning Message About COVID Vaccine and Long Term Impacts


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 7, 2021 | Sundance | 1,036 Comments

Before getting to the sketchy part; first, let’s talk….

There has been a great deal of discussion about the vitriolic, almost rabid disposition of people who are pushing the vaccination.

This should not be a surprise, although it might be disconcerting to find formerly reasonable people in your network, perhaps even in your family, now become seemingly unhinged if the subject arises.

It is demonstrably true, there has been a cleaving of our American population as the debate about the COVID vaccination rages on.  However, it is wise to consider the underlying psychology of a person who has been vaccinated, before engaging in an argument.  You may end up being entirely correct in your position; however, an intense or combative argument? At what cost?

A vaccinated person is, as a consequence of their decision, in an irreversible frame of mind.  Once the vaccination has been injected into a persons body, there is no turning back; the Rubicon has been crossed, the event horizon closes, there is no retreat.  Any conversation or debate about vaccine efficacy or long-term consequences with a person who has accepted the vaccine must be weighed accordingly.

Genuine empathetic listening is needed on both sides.

The no-retreat baseline can, often does, form the origin of anger and vitriol, particularly in unstable leftists -who are, by nature of their ideology- professional blame-casters and prone to emotional responses as a matter of disposition.  Therefore, it is better to avoid the topic entirely (if possible) and retain your peace of mind.

♦ Revelations over the past few years have led to the complete collapse of credibility for many institutions.  The healthcare field is the latest example of a politically controlled ideological industry that can no longer be trusted to make decisions based on a detachment from their political interests.

The healthcare industry has joined the education system, the justice system (DOJ), law enforcement (FBI), the intelligence system, arts and entertainment, as well as many organizations now controlled through the prism of politics.  Political ideology, as the determining factor of institutional behavior, has infected almost every facet of modern life; healthcare is no exception.

Given the nature of the metastatic corruption, very visible in multiple institutions, it is completely understandable that more people would not trust the National Institute of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other regulatory body or agency now vested in the COVID vaccine.

Factually, as previously stated, the FDA final approval of the vaccines is a moot point.  The FDA, just like a vaccinated person, is in a no retreat position.  There is no way the U.S. FDA cannot approve the vaccines that have been sold, forced and pushed upon the entire global population.  Can you even begin to imagine the ramifications of the FDA saying the vaccine was (a) unsafe; or (b) ineffective?    Think about it.  FDA approval is a foregone conclusion, regardless of safety or efficacy.

There is every reason not to trust the healthcare industry on the issue of vaccination(s).  Indeed, their obtuse behavior, logical disconnect, false assertions and gross hypocrisy is more than enough to create doubt about the vaccine.  Then overlay the lack of consequence for all known institutional corruption, and there’s even more reason to doubt them.

♦ Two key issues stick in my mind about the COVID vaccines that make me pretty firm in opposition:

(1) The fact that vaccine makers would abandon the clinical trial control group is a big red flag.  The fact that vaccine makers could not abandon the clinical trial control group without authorization from the FDA, CDC and NIH is an even bigger red flag.  {Go Deep}

The clinical trial was assembled to produce only one result.  THAT is not science.  THAT is sketchy and points to an ulterior motive.  That is not science, that’s political science.

(2) The fact that data shows the vaccine provides no benefit is another big red flag.  Specifically, the equal hospitalization rate of vaxxed and non-vaxxed patients.   Almost every study I can find with data on COVID hospitalized cases that includes the vaccination status (not many), shows an equal percentage of vaccinated/hospitalized people to the vaccinated population in general. {Go Deep}

[ex. If 75% of the regional population is vaccinated, then 75% of the hospitalized COVID patients are vaccinated.]  This statistic demonstrates the vaccine doesn’t stop serious illness.

Put both of those issues together, and overlay the demonstrably collapsed institutional credibility, and I am not comfortable with this specific vaccine.

I am not anti-VAX, I am not comfortable with THIS specific vaccination.  And, again, once administered there is no retreat.

We should all cherish, respect and value the differences of opinion of this very personal issue.  Healthcare is a personal and private matter.  Other people have different factors, risk-factors and hundreds of considerations that guide or have guided their decision. We should all respect that; and we do not want to see ‘vaccination status‘ become a fragmentation problem for our CTH community.  We are all in the same foxhole.

♦ALL OF THAT said, Dr. Ryan Cole is a Mayo-trained physician who has seen over 350,000 patients in his career. He also serves as the CEO of Cole Diagnostics, which has processed over 100,000 Coronavirus tests.  Dr. Cole gave an alarming presentation that merits consideration:

WATCH VIDEO HERE

In response to criticism for his position, Dr. Cole wrote:

“I am concerned about the lack of long term safety data, because this vaccine is simply too new. We have never tried an mRNA vaccine in humans before. I am concerned about the implications of injection of foreign, synthetic mRNA and the antibody reaction which cannot be reversed. It concerns me that large numbers of individuals are being essentially enrolled in a long term phase III clinical trial for the vaccine without being fully informed of this, with no ability for recompense if injured or in case of death. I am concerned by the number of adverse event and deaths that have been reported in correlation with this vaccine administration.”  (link)

Canada’s COVID Concentration Camps


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Aug 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I have Canadian friends who are moving back and forth between Mexico and the United States, fearful of returning to Canada with their children. If one tests positive, they are taken away and imprisoned into one of these Canadian concentration camps. They cannot imagine the mental shock that would cause a 5 or 7-year-old child with no recourse because the government has become simply tyrannical.

CDC Director Makes Case Vaccination Passports are Futile, Vaccines Do Not Prevent COVID Infection or Delta Variant Transmission


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 6, 2021 | Sundance | 536 Comments

They are just making up narratives now, and the media are not calling them out on it….

The Director of the CDC made an important admission during an interview today on CNN.   CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated the vaccine does not prevent COVID-19 infection, nor does it stop the vaccinated person from transmitting the infection or the delta variant.  According to Director Walensky, the only benefit from the vaccine now is presumably that it reduces the severity of symptoms.

If a vaccinated and non-vaccinated person have the same capacity to carry, shed and transmit the virus – with or without symptoms – then what difference does a vaccination passport or vaccination ID make?

According to the CDC TODAY, both the vaxxed and non-vaxxed person walking into a restaurant, store, group, venue or workplace present the exact same risk to other people there, so how does the presentation of proof of vaccine make any difference?  WATCH:

Additionally, her entire statement makes no sense.  There is no evidence that vaccinated asymptomatic carriers are asymptomatic because of the vaccine.  There are likely just as many asymptomatic non-vaccinated carriers.  The data shows an equally distributed infection rate regardless of vaccination rate, which is simultaneously admitted by Direcor Walensky, which, as an outcome, is an admission that undercuts the entire argument for compulsory vaccines.

The reverse is also evident in the data.  There are just as many vaxxed carriers who are symptomatic (ie. sick), as there are un-vaxxed carriers who are symptomatic (ie. sick). The percentage of vaxxed and non-vaxxed people hospitalized it identical to the vaxxed/non-vaxxed population around the hospital.

In regional populations with extremely high vaccination rates, the COVID infection rate continues unabated.  The percentage of vaccinated people hospitalized is identical to the percentage of people vaccinated in the community.

In Gibraltar, 99% of the population vaccinated; COVID infection rate climbs.  In Iceland over 75% of population vaccinated; infection rate climbs.  Singapore and Israel show the same thing [Data Sets Here].  So what value is the vaccination passport?

This is Nuts, Moderna and Pfizer Intentionally Lost The Clinical Trial Control Group Testing Vaccine Efficacy and Safety


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 6, 2021 | Sundance | 535 Comments

This is not just scientific madness, it appears to be very intentional and purposeful.

The Moderna and Pfizer vaccine tests were conducted, as customary, with a control group; a group within the trial who were given a placebo and not the test vaccine.  However, during the trial -and after the untested vaccines were given emergency use authorization- the vaccine companies conducting the trial decided to break protocol and notify the control group they were not vaccinated.  Almost all the control group were then given the vaccine.

Purposefully dissolving the placebo group violates the scientific purpose to test whether the vaccine has any efficacy; any actual benefit and/or safety issues.  Without a control group there is nothing to compare the vaccinated group against.  According to NPR, the doctors lost the control group in the Johnson County Clinicial Trial (Lexena, Kansas) on purpose:

(Via NPR) […] “Dr. Carlos Fierro, who runs the study there, says every participant was called back after the Food and Drug Administration authorized the vaccine.

“During that visit we discussed the options, which included staying in the study without the vaccine,” he says, “and amazingly there were people — a couple of people — who chose that.”

He suspects those individuals got spooked by rumors about the vaccine. But everybody else who had the placebo shot went ahead and got the actual vaccine. So now Fierro has essentially no comparison group left for the ongoing study.  “It’s a loss from a scientific standpoint, but given the circumstances I think it’s the right thing to do,” he says.

People signing up for these studies were not promised special treatment, but once the FDA authorized the vaccines, their developers decided to offer the shots. (read more)

Just so we are clear, the final FDA authorization and approval for the vaccines are based on the outcome of these trials.  As noted in the example above, the control group was intentionally lost under the auspices of  “the right thing to do”, so there is no way for the efficacy, effectiveness or safety of the vaccine itself to be measured.

There’s no one left within the control group, of a statistically valid value, to give an adequate comparison of outcomes for vaxxed -vs- non-vaxxed.

Whiskey – Tango – Foxtrot !!!  This is nuts.

That NPR article is one to bookmark when people start claiming the vaccination is effective.

How can the vaccine not be considered effective when there is no group of non-vaccinated people to compare the results to?

Good grief, the entire healthcare system is operating on a massive hive mindset where science, and the scientific method, is thrown out the window in favor of ideological outcomes and self-fulfilling prophecies.   The fact that the researchers and doctors, apparently under the payroll of the pharmaceutical companies that have a vested financial interest in the vaccine outcome, lost the control group on purpose is alarming.

Of course, Big Pharma will promote the vaccine as beneficial, and the controlled media will promote that message with a complete disconnect from the clinical trial details, and the FDA will grant approval on results that were intentionally constructed to produce only one outcome.

Madness…. All of it.

New York City Protest Against Mandatory Vaccination Passports, Monday August 9th, Noon at City Hall


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 6, 2021 | Sundance | 364 Comments

It can well be argued that New York City’s requirement for a vaccine passport is the canary in the coal mine; the test scenario to see how much real opposition exists to government mandated vaccination policies.  Citizens across the nation nation are starting to realize how severe this issue has become.

There is no other hill to stand upon if medical freedom is taken away.

What is ‘freedom‘ if government can force you to inject a substance in your body?  What is ‘liberty‘ if the government can force you into an unwanted medical procedure in order to live in society.   The issue here is not simply a forced injection.

There is no way for us to comply ourselves out of tyranny.  If we accept the government can forcibly mandate you to undergo a medical procedure, under any circumstance, as a condition to live and function in society, then we have conceded the very cornerstone of liberty.  The New York City vaccination passport must be stopped.

The first organized protest is scheduled for Monday, August 9th at Noon EST.

The Location is: New York City Hall, 52 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007

The protest is being organized by Tina Forte a candidate for NY CD-14. {Twitter Acct. Here}

Now is the time for cold anger to turn hot.  Now is the time to fight:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ~ Samuel Adams

Silence is the open door of consent!

The Threat of an Ice Age is Real


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Aug 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Most people have NEVER heard of the Beaufort Gyre, a massive wind-driven current in the Arctic Ocean that actually has far more influence over sea ice than anything we can throw into the atmosphere. The Beaufort Gyre has been regulating climate and sea ice formation for millennia. Recently, however, something has changed; it is not something that would create global warming but threatens a new Ice Age.

There is a normal cycle that appears to be about 5.4 years where it reverses direction and spins counter-clockwise, expelling ice and freshwater into the eastern Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic. The 5.4-year cycle is interesting for it is two pi cycle intervals of 8.6. The immediate cycle has suddenly expanded to two 8.6-year intervals, bringing it to 17.2 years as we head into 2022.

What you must understand is that this Beaufort Gyre now holds as much freshwater as all of the Great Lakes combined. Why is that important? Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees F at which freshwater freezes. The difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of saltwater is bigger than the difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of fresh water. This makes the ice with salt on it melt faster, which is why we salt the roads in an ice storm.

Now, think of the Beaufort Gyre as a carousel of ice and freshwater. Because it is now spinning both faster and in its usual clockwise direction, it has been collecting more and more freshwater from the three main sources:

  1. Melting sea ice
  2. Runoff from the Arctic Ocean from Russian and North American rivers
  3. Lower saltwater coming in from the Bering Sea

Indeed, Yale has warned that this current could “Cool the Climate in Europe,” which is precisely what we are witnessing. Cyclically, the Beaufort Gyre will reverse direction, and when it does the clear and present danger will be the natural expulsion of a massive amount of icy fresh water into the North Atlantic. Remember now, freshwater freezes faster than saltwater.

This is not a theory. We have previous records of reversals in this cycle of the Beaufort Gyre from the 1960s and 1970s, where there was a surge of fresh Arctic water released into the North Atlantic that resulted in the water freezing. There has been a lot of work done on this subject, which, of course, is ignored by the climate change agenda that only seeks to blame human activity. Nevertheless, AAAS, of which I am a member, states plainly:

“Arctic sea ice affects climate on seasonal to decadal time scales, and models suggest that sea ice is essential for longer anomalies such as the Little Ice Age.” 

Socrates has been given just about every possible database I could find over the past 50 years. Because of the extended 17.2-year cycle in the Beaufort Gyre, the risk that a larger than normal expulsion of freshwater into the Atlantic can disrupt the Gulf Stream, which is the sole reason why Europe has been moderate in climate. But that has NOT always been the case. We know that the Barbarian invasions into Rome during the 3rd century were primarily driven by a colder climate in the north. The invasion of the Sea Peoples ended the Bronze Age and those from the north migrated into the South storming Mesopotamia and Northern Africa.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL

It is just not created by humans.

Perhaps we are now at the tipping point and they cannot keep saying that the extremely cold winter is also caused by CO2 and global warming. The collapse of the gulf stream has nothing to do with CO2. This may result in a major confrontation that these people have been seriously wrong and what they are doing to the economy in trying to shut down fossil fuels at this point in time could result in tens of millions of deaths if the gulf stream collapses.

Resistance is Not Futile – Does Our Entire Way of Life Depends on It?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Aug 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I find it amazing how stupid people can be. Those claiming if everyone just got vaccinated, we would all go back to normal. I know there were Jews in Germany who left early looking at the trend that was emerging and made it to the United States. They told me people were ridiculing them when they left saying it would all blow over and go back to normal. These types of people do not look at what is going on in any depth. They take whatever is said at face value and do not look at motives or connect the dots.

In Australia, the number of people is rising up.  The police in Australia are still violating human rights and supporting the decline and fall of Australia as it descends into tyranny. The protest has erupted again in Melbourne and until the police stop enforcing orders that are inconsistent with international law, there is no hope for Australia. It continues to slide toward an economic apocalypse. They are 110% on board with the Great Reset and those behind the curtain view that if they can end mining and resources in Australia, they will save the planet and bring about the Great Reset.

The TWO primary countries they want to totally suppress are Australia and Brazil.

What a Real Doctor Has to Say


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Aug 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

There are a lot of doctors who read these posts, and there are doctors I know and can vouch for as being real. This is an email from one such person I can personally vouch for. In every field, we have people who are actually good at what they do, and others who simply repeat what they read. In economics, I can vouch that we have the same problem. There are those who are only academics who have NEVER even traded no less tried to expand their understanding.

I have said before that I was speaking at I believe the Market Technicians conference in Chicago or perhaps Computrac. To my shock, Milton Friedman came to listen to me. While Milton was an academic, he made an effort like Adam Smith to explore the real world beyond the theoretical pontificating. So there are some on the research side who realize they must look at how things are truly applied.

This note from a reader I know is one of the good guys, expresses the same observation in medicine I have witnessed in politics and economics. Nobody prior to 1902 had a degree in economics, for at best it was a side discussion in ethics. Not even John Maynard Keynes had a degree in economics. Keep that in mind.

Marty,

As you know, I am a doctor, and have been practicing medicine, and treating patients for 21 years.  I have seen many new medications being developed and released to the public over my career.  I also know many other doctors.  One thing I can say is that probably 85-95% of doctors are honest people who work, and want to improve peoples’ lives.  However, we all know that we’re not always 100% successful.

However, it’s also important to understand that there are doctors and then there are “doctors”.  Some doctors do not practice medicine, and just do research, or are administrators, or political appointees.  Most doctors that actually practice medicine work with their patients to accomplish positive outcomes.  Doctors who are administrators or appointees generally do not care to deal with patients, and that is why they are in administration.  I do not have any interaction with these latter type of doctors, but I would say that their actual knowledge about treating people is rather limited.  They are generally more interested in fundraisers, etc.  I think it would be safe to say that it is more important to listen to a doctor that actually has experience, and treats patients.  I think it would also be safe to say that you could probably ignore at least half the things that an administrator or appointee says.

One of the many things I will occasionally comment about with my patients is that there are two parts of the body that we, as doctors in the field of medicine don’t really have a good grasp on:  1. the immune system, and 2. the brain.

Anytime we are dealing with the immune system, there will always be a degree of uncertainty greater than we are used to dealing with.  Vaccines deal with the immune system.  While our treatments for most of the body, may be 99% effective (which are the results that most modern doctors are used to), our treatments when dealing with the immune system or the brain may only be 50-70% effective.

I can also say that the doctors that are currently promoting the vaccine as “safe and effective” actually think that it is safe and effective, as many doctors don’t think too critically about anything anymore, but just accept whatever they’re told or whatever they read.  Many of these doctors are simply too busy treating their patients to stop and think, and then when they get home, they are busy with their families.

The COVID vaccine may very well have some side effects that we are not currently aware of.  The problem is that we need time and numbers to see any correlations.  I would generally say that by 3 years from now, there should be enough data to assess any side effect associated with the COVID vaccines (assuming it is not censored), as that is generally the time frame that we have needed in the past to correlate a rare side effect from a medication.

Insofar as the virus itself is concerned, I would agree that this is a real virus.  We do not culture this virus, because if we grow it in a lab, then lab personnel could be infected.  Consequently, we rely on lab tests to establish a diagnosis.  No lab test in medicine has ever been 100% accurate.  The main terminology we use for discussing the accuracy of a lab test is “sensitivity” and “specificity”, among other terms to discuss how reliable a test may or may not be.  There will always be false positive results and false negative results, no matter the test, and that is where having the medical acumen becomes important.

While wearing medical masks may very well help insofar as preventing people from coughing all over each other, we all know that masks will not be 100% effective either.

Yes, I would suggest not getting distracted by all these irrelevant details in the field of medicine, as no one knows all the details yet, and we may possibly never know the details.  This is not the plague (with a 50% mortality rate), nor is it smallpox (with a 10% mortality rate).  It is a respiratory virus.

Thanks for covering the world’s events, and informing us about lesser known events in history!

Vaccines & the Tool of Tyranny


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Aug 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

According to American Frontline Doctors, 62% of those vaccinated develop blood clots, and they claim that life expectancy maybe 3 years. Moderna’s groundbreaking coronavirus vaccine was designed in just 2 days. They also acknowledge that was POSSIBLE only because they were working with Bill Gates previously.

Look, I am not a doctor. I will leave that to others. What I can see strategically is this is being politically manipulated. I have known people with COVID and could not taste. They got over it in a week. A friend was vaccinated and just came home after 2 weeks in the hospital with some strange development where first they thought it was a stroke, then a heart attack, and then kidney failure. It was like something strange infected him and it was running around his body. NOBODY could say what it was, which makes me think it was the vaccine rather than some mysterious disease never seen before that somehow he caught from a visiting alien.

There is something seriously wrong with this entire picture. Once politicians got involved and Gates was allowed to fund the CDC, FDA, and NIH. There is ABSOLUTELY no possible way of knowing the truth. We are the great unwashed and that is how those in the office view us from above. We are tolerated at best, and they are now breaking the chains that once made them responsible to the people.

I have learned over the years to look at patterns in how people behave. Bill Gates was forced out of Microsoft because, as I believe, he was deliberately creating a monopoly and sought to put the competition out of business. He is displaying the very same thing now with the healthcare industry. He controlled the programs that said 33% of the world was about to die, funded Imperial College which recommended lockdowns, and then he controls the vaccine companies while his coconspirator using his influence to control politicians with the WEF.

Gates and his father’s obsession with overpopulation demonstrate that they do not understand the cycle of nature and believe they possess the power, intelligence, and money/influence to change the world to BUILD BACK BETTER as he thinks it should be.
