Alberta to Repeal COVID Restrictions


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Premier Jason Kenney announced that Alberta will lift all COVID measures amid the ongoing protests. Kenney is far from empathizing with the protestors. Instead, he is demanding that the protests come to an immediate stop, which was the ultimate goal of the Freedom Convoy. “No responsible government makes policy by negotiating with people engaged in such unlawful conduct. Period. Full stop,” Kenney said. “We fully expect our law enforcement agencies to restore and maintain public safety and law and order.” This is exactly what the truckers have been requesting. Pass the message along to the prime minister.

Kenney will announce plans for repealing the vaccine passport next week. “My message to those who are frustrated about COVID-19 policies is this: I hear you loud and clear. You are right to point to the damaging impact of restrictions.” Kenney went on to say that the omicron wave was less severe than expected, and many Albertans have achieved natural immunity. COVID is finally coming to an end.

US National Debt Surpasses $30 Trillion

America’s debt surpassed the $30 trillion mark for the first time and there is no intention of paying it back. “We’re on an unsustainable path,” Federal Reserve Chairman Powell told lawmakers in January. “Debt is not at an unsustainable level, but the path is unsustainable — meaning it’s growing faster than the economy, meaningfully faster than the economy. We have to address that over time. We will address it over time. And the better way to do it is soon.”

According to the Treasury Department, outstanding debt jumped from $19.9 trillion when Trump took office in January 2017, and rose to $27.8 trillion when Biden took over in January 2021. Unexpected expenses due to the coronavirus added a massive amount of debt to the balance sheet. Still, politicians wish to continue spending to fund the Build Back Better agenda. “The debt puts an unbelievable burden on future generations of Americans. Congress cannot wait! We must take action now to get America’s fiscal house in order,” said Rep. Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania.

Amber Alert Issued for Justin Trudeau


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Have you seen this man? He was allegedly voted to lead the people of Canada but is nowhere to be found amid the largest political convoy in history. There are about 50,000 truckers who would like a word with their public servant.

Thank You Truckers


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 4, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Dear Mr. Armstrong,
We want to thank you and the truckers for bringing awareness of what we are up against. We watched the emotionally explosive truck convoy in Canada, as it was unfolding, last weekend. We were so moved by it, that we created this sign, the next morning. We live on the east coast of South Florida and on the first day of driving around, we only got a couple thumbs up and as the week progressed, we have triggered more and more responses. But, one thing is for certain with each and EVERY response an incredibly indescribable emotion is shared. We now know we aren’t alone and it’s bigger than we imagined.

I don’t know who is happier the recipients of our sign or my wife and I, One lady pulled next to us at a stop light , rolled her window down and said, I just got a text with a picture of your sign and here you are…. another man rolled his window down and gave us the thumbs up with tears in his eyes. Another asked, where can we get a sign like that…..See the feelings we are receiving are just indescribable….maybe it’s just knowing we are no longer alone.

Thank you,
MJB

REPLY: We are winning. Socrates was right again. This was a 3-year reaction and as I warned, this Schwab organized attack upon our way of life with his Great Reset would FAIL. Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared to drop her “mask-or-vax” stance this month. Even the CDC has admitted that masks do not work.

We have major elections in April/May and October/November this year. It is time to throw out ALL politicians who supported this Schwab agenda regardless of their party. Backing down now because it has destroyed so many jobs and set in motion this inflation thanks to lockdowns, should not save their career. They all MUST go to send a message to anyone in cahoots with Klaus Schwab.

Facebook – Down for the Count?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Technology Re-Posted Feb 4, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty you said that Facebook would peak in September 2021. Is this the high you were talking about? Has it entered a bear market?

WJ

ANSWER: This is the 19th year up for Facebook and this crash has already penetrated the 2021 low of 244.61 here in 2022. Zuckerberg is part of Schwab’s World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders along with Trudeau in Canada and Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand. He has been aggressive in censoring anyone who has opposed the narrative of COVID and this is all collapsing around him. Facebook lost daily users for the first time in its history. This is a significant change in trend which has come right on target. In Canada, people are flooding the 911 system reporting that Trudeau is missing. We may see the same eventually with Zuckerberg. Perhaps he will fleet and hide under the coat of Schab at the WEF.

Allegations are surfacing claiming that ballot boxes put out there by Zuckerberg were being used to rig the election. It is still unknown how much fraud was carried out in the 2020 election. But the narrative needs to end that the answer is “none.” Despite the widespread blanket denials from the mainstream media, there are allegations bubbling up about ‘mules’ illicitly dumping ballots into Zuckerberg “drop boxes.” Unfortunately, with the Democrats in charge of the Senate and the House, there will be no investigation. But the whispers are getting louder that Zuckerberg allegedly had a hand in the election fraud perhaps at the direction of Schwab and associates. Zuckerberg spent $419 million to get out the Democratic votes to defeat Trump which was the clear agenda of Schwab and his World Economic Forum.

It is true that TikTok has emerged as a major threat to Facebook because it is not engaged in the political activism that Zuckerberg has been. People are leaving Facebook or using TikTok much more so because of Facebook’s censoring. Then there is Apple, and its privacy changes to iOS last year are starting to cost the company tons of ad revenue. The feature is called App Tracking Transparency and allows iPhone users to forbid companies from tracking them across third-party apps. As CNBC reports, on the financial call, Meta CFO Dave Wehner revealed, “We believe the impact of iOS overall is a headwind on our business in 2022. It’s on the order of $10 billion, so it’s a pretty significant headwind for our business.”

There is much more behind the headlines that are in the rumor mills. Zuckerberg has a lot to worry about by aligning with the World Economic Forum should the cycle change once again and the Republicans win in November. Zuckerberg may find himself in deep trouble and the survival of Facebook will hang in the balance. His loyalty to Schwab and his idea that corporations should disregard shareholders and be concerned with Stakeholder Economics may prove to be the death of Facebook. Any CEO who aligns himself with Schwab should be thrown out by the shareholders for that means they are using shareholder money to further a foreign agenda against their own self-interest.

A year-end closing below 244 will confirm that Facebook will enter a bear market and the crash will continue into 2023 for starters

Attorney Representing Freedom Convoy Shares a Message


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 237 Comments

Keith Wilson is the lawyer representing the “Truckers for Freedom” organization.  Earlier today, prior to the GoFundMe announcement, Mr. Wilson posted a video message for everyone concerning the earlier announcement made by the Ottawa Police chief Peter Sloly. [Background Story]

One note: I believe the referenced Canadian Freedom Charter was suspended as part of the national state of emergency declared by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the justification for the restrictions now being protested.

Earlier Today – Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly held a press conference on Friday announcing measures to combat the continued Freedom Convoy protests in the streets, and to block any additional protesting support from arriving. [Full Presser Here] In essence, the Ottawa police are going to use domestic terrorism authority against the Canadian freedom protest groups.

The outlined measures include deploying an additional 150 municipal police officers and undercover federal agents to infiltrate the protest and gather intelligence useful for the purpose of eliminating their effort.

Chief Sloly outlined that federal intelligence authorities will be “collecting financial, digital, vehicle registration, driver identification, insurance status and other related evidence that will be used in prosecution.”

The jackboots will focus on using acts of mischief, hate, harassment, intimidation and other threatening behaviors, whether real or created by Canadian intelligence operations, to target the protestors.

Additionally, a “surge and contain” strategy will be used to isolate the protest in the red zone area in front of Parliament Hill.  Ottawa police will use heavy concrete barriers as barricades, to create no-access roadways throughout the downtown core, and they will likely close highway off-ramps and bridges to stop additional support and/or protest groups from arriving.

The goal is to isolate the current protest groups, cut off their supply and support logistics, and pick them off.

Further, any police officer who is caught aiding, assisting, supporting, sympathizing with or facilitating the ongoing freedom protest in the city, will be removed from duty and subject to arrest.  All Ottawa police officers are to regard the protesting group as an unlawful, extremist and hate-filled mob and have a duty to comply with the instructions of the command and control structure.

Ottawa Police Department Announce They Are a Political Activist Institution and Agency of the Government


Posted originally on the conservative tree House on February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 254 Comments

The Ottawa Police Department have publicly announced they are a political institution.  They sent out a tweet this evening with the announcement:

If the Ottawa police department was not a political activist agency, they would not engage in political activism.

Additionally, the originator of the left-wing effort to target the Freedom Convoy has been identified.

UPDATE: GoFundMe Labels Ottawa Freedom Protest “Unlawful Occupation” Will Not Release Funds Except to Divert to Authorized Charity Like Black Lives Matter


February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 839 Comments

Well, there goes the entire business model of the GoFundMe organization.

In a rather jaw-dropping development, the crowdfunding organization is taking the position that Canadian officials have labeled the Canadian Freedom Convoy protest as an “illegal occupation” of the city of Ottawa.  As a result, GoFundMe will not release the funds to the organizers of the protest, and will, instead, only transfer those funds to an authorized and credible charitable organization like “Black Lives Matter”.

The statement in Full:

♦ GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created.

♦ We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity.

To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground. Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform.

Organizers provided a clear distribution plan for the initial $1M that was released earlier this week and confirmed funds would be used only for participants who traveled to Ottawa to participate in a peaceful protest.

Given how this situation has evolved, no further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers — we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities verified by GoFundMe.

All donors may submit a request for a full refund until February 19th, 2022 using this dedicated refund form. (LINK)

The Canadian government and law enforcement officials worked earnestly to Alinsky and label the voices of Middle Canada as violent extremists.  It appears that official effort has paid dividends, as the money for the protest group has been cut off as the result of an arbitrary definition applied by the totalitarian state.

Madness.

Sickening…

There aren’t enough words to encapsulate this dynamic appropriately.

However, now that government has successfully branded the protesting group as an unlawful and violent occupying group, the Canadian authorities are now able to use extreme measures to counter the “threat to democracy” they represent.

This is a major, albeit ideological, escalation by the totalitarian state.

Biden-Obama Gas Prices Reach Highest Point Since 2014 When Obama-Biden Were in Office


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 4, 2022 | Sundance | 122 Comments

Gasoline prices have risen, on average, 40% in the past 11 months.  This leads to higher consumer costs across the board.  Oil, currently $90/barrel, is going to go even higher as a merge of Biden economic, regulatory, energy and foreign policies are going to make things worse.

As the Obama-Biden administration previously said when they achieved their last historic increase in gas prices, “U.S. energy prices will necessarily skyrocket“, in order to achieve their ideological climate change objectives.

(VIA CNBC) Gas prices rose to the highest level in more than seven years Friday, on the heels of the U.S. oil benchmark topping $90 per barrel for the first time since 2014. 

The national average for a gallon of gas stood at $3.423 on Friday, according to AAA, slightly surpassing the prior high-water mark of $3.422 from Nov. 8.  Friday’s price means consumers are now paying the most at the pump since Sept. 10, 2014, AAA data shows.

The national average stood at $2.44 a year ago.  The rapid rise in prices is contributing to inflationary fears across the economy and is creating a headache for the Biden administration. (read more)

Yes, a president can and does control the price of gasoline.  What can a U.S. President and administration specifically do?  We have abundant U.S. energy resources.  Quite literally the strongest in the entire world.

  • Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
  • Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
  • Re-approve the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
  • Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
  • Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
  • Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
  • Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.

.

Unfortunately, this would mean reversing the entire energy policy of the current administration.  The existing energy inflation and high prices of oil, natural gas and gasoline are a direct and intentional part of Joe Biden policy.  That policy is driven by the leftist demand for a “green new deal.”

None of the actions above require any approval from OPEC.  Strategically the ‘all of the above’ approach enhances U.S. national security and diminishes the influence of Russia, China and Iran.  Within six months of the above, gasoline will plummet.

Democrat policies are the driving force of inflation.  It’s not COVID-19.
