California’s Guaranteed Health Care for All to Increase Taxes by $12,250 per Household


Armstrong Economics Blog/North America Re-Posted Jan 18, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

California Governor Nuisance Newsom would like to pass Assembly Bill 1400, “Guaranteed Health Care for All,” as the nation’s first single-payer health care system. Unfortunately, this does not equate to free health care. The Tax Foundation estimates that this measure will increase taxes by $12,250 per household, doubling the state’s sky-high tax collections. The 2022-23 budget proposal is $286 billion, but many believe it will rise to $400 billion.

“The top marginal rate on wage income would soar to 18.05 percent—nationally, the median top marginal rate is 5.3 percent—and the state would adopt a new 2.3 percent gross receipts tax (GRT), at a rate more than three times that of the country’s highest current pure GRT,” the Tax Foundation reported. The new tax package aims to raise $163 billion annually, but California has never been close to raising that amount through taxes.

The tax will take on three forms:

  1. Surtaxes atop the current individual income tax structure beginning at $149,509 in income;
  2. A graduated-rate payroll tax system with the top rate kicking in for employees with more than $49,990 in annual income; and
  3. A gross receipts tax of 2.3 percent, excluding the first $2 million of business income.

After 2.5 years of increased spending, Newsom has failed to produce any notable changes aside from pushing many Californians to flee the state. In 2019, Newsom permitted illegal immigrants between 19 and 25 to qualify for Medi-Cal coverage, intended for poor and disabled citizens who legally pay taxes. Adding illegal immigrants to Medi-Cal could increase the cost by $98 million annually.

Democrats always promise not to raise taxes on “the little guy,” but funding Guaranteed Health Care for All will dig into the pockets of anyone earning over $49,000. Assemblyman Health Flora (R) said, “When they realize they don’t have enough money to pay for this, they can raise taxes on everyone on a simple majority vote. They wrote that right into the bill. But anything fiscal has to be a 2/3 majority vote.”

These policies are why people have been fleeing the once desirable state of California for greener (redder) pastures where they are not taxed into oblivion with Socialistic promises of someone else’s money footing the bill.

The Event That Triggered the FBI to Reverse Their Narrative on the Colleyville Terror Attack


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 17, 2022 | sundance | 95 Comments

As noted by the Washington media, “The FBI reversed its position late Sunday on the Texas synagogue hostage-taker, acknowledging it was a case of terrorism after first improbably insisting the suspect’s motives were unclear.”

It wasn’t just a happenstance reversal, and it wasn’t a reversal based on evidence discovered that caused them to adopt new conclusions.   Immediately preceding the FBI reversal in position was a public statement by Joe Biden in Philadelphia:

[11:58 A.M. EST, SUNDAY] …”Hey, folks.  With regard to Texas and the synagogue, I spoke this morning with the Attorney General and — to get a rundown.  He said there’s overwhelming cooperation with the local authorities and the FBI, and they did one hell of a job. 

This was an act of terror.  This was an act of terror.  And it not only was related to someone who had been arrested, I might add, 15 years ago and been in jail for 10 years — the idea that it was something new.  And they did just a great job. “…   ~ Joe Biden

The reason this aspect is important is to highlight the motives of the FBI and DOJ.  The actions of the institutions are driven by political defenses of the leftist regime.

If President Donald Trump was to have said “This was an act of terror“, the same institutions would have castigated him by saying, there’s still not enough information to make that legal distinction.  The media would then inflate the issue and spend the next two media cycles ridiculing him.  This is not supposition, this example, is a reference point that actually played out several times during the Trump administration.

However, during the Biden administration, the institutional motives of the DOJ/FBI are in alignment with Joe Biden and his administration.  Therefore, the institutions themselves will modify their practices and operations to be in synergy with Dear Leader.

This might sound like a “duh” example, but the larger point is reinforcement of a severely politicized justice system.  It is very dangerous to have a justice system driven by political alignment.  It is even more dangerous to have a law enforcement agency making decisions based on political alignment.

Joe Biden doesn’t need to give instructions about ideological alignment and messaging.  Indeed, I doubt he gives any instructions.  The people behind Biden might give instructions, but this type of synergy is more appropriately considered like the cast of an improvisation performance just following the cues by the lead actor.  Biden says something, and the apparatus (whichever element it is) moves to align with whatever he just said.

♦ Saturday Night / Sunday Morning FBI: ““We do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community,” Matthew DeSarno, the FBI Dallas special agent in charge, told reporters. “But we’re continuing to work to find motive, and we will continue on that path.”

♦ Sunday at Noon: “This was an act of terror.  This was an act of terror,” Joe Biden says.

♦ Sunday at 5:00pm FBI: “This is a terrorism-related matter, in which the Jewish community was targeted, and is being investigated by the Joint Terrorism Task Force.”

Here’s the video of Biden’s full statement at Noon on Sunday:

The Transcript is [ AVAILABLE HERE ]

Q    Do you know why he targeted that specific synagogue, Mr. President?

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, no, I don’t.  We don’t have — I don’t think there is sufficient information to know about why he targeted that synagogue or why he insisted on the release of someone who’s been in prison for over 10 years, why he was engaged — why he was using antisemitic and anti-Israeli comments.  I — we just don’t have enough facts.

Berlin Police Using Measuring Sticks to Arrest Protesters not at regulatory Distance


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jan 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Germany is enjoying absolute tyranny. During the protests over the weekend, you see the police with measuring sticks ready to imprison anyone who is not socially distancing. Yet the police are walking between people violating their own law. Europe has lost its mind all for a virus that was created in a lab and is being exploited for political change. This is a city that divided its people because of politics. The politicians there have demonstrated that they are by no means representing the people. This is becoming an outright usurpation of power.

Our computer has been forecasting the rise of civil unrest and it has been unbeatable. My greatest fear and that the politicians have reached the tipping point. They will either be thrown out of the office or terminate the right of the people to vote. This is the real political crisis we face as every day more and more evidence surfaces that not merely is COVID grossly exaggerated, but the vaccines have no ability to prevent the spread of COVID. The facade is crashing down upon governments and the fake media. This only warns of greater civil unrest and this is now about to cross the Rubicon.

Study, Fourth Shot of COVID Vaccine Ineffective at Preventing Omicron Infection


Posted originally on the conservative tree house January 17, 2022 | sundance | 315 Comments

A study out of Israel is showing the fourth shot, second booster of COVID vaccine, provides no benefit in the prevention of the Omicron variant.

(Reuters) – A fourth shot of COVID-19 vaccine boosts antibodies to even higher levels than the third jab but it is not enough to prevent Omicron infections, according to a preliminary study in Israel.

Israel’s Sheba Medical Center has given second booster shots in a trial among its staff and is studying the effect of the Pfizer booster in 154 people after two weeks and the Moderna booster in 120 people after one week, said Gili Regev-Yochay, director of the Infectious Diseases Unit.

[…] “We know by now that the level of antibodies needed to protect and not to get infected from Omicron is probably too high for the vaccine, even if it’s a good vaccine.” (read more)

I’m at a complete loss about why anyone would keep arguing for value in the vaccine passport.  If vaccinated and unvaccinated equally are susceptible to COVID infection, and the vaccine does nothing of benefit in that encounter, then why in the heck are vaccine passports even considered of value?

My wellness and exercise regimen during the white house “Winter of severe illness and death” continues…

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden Takes a Stand for Texas Patients


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 17, 2022 | sundance | 245 Comments

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden has taken a stand in Houston, Texas, against the medical establishment’s COVID-19 protocols, and withstood massive pressure upon her.  Dr. Bowden disengaged herself from a medical system that was not treating the core of patient’s needs and set off on her own path.

Dr. Bowden created BreatheMD to treat patients suffering from COVID-19 with therapeutics, wellness and monoclonal antibody treatments.  To take this approach, Mary Bowden had to disconnect herself from the medical establishment.  Her clinic is thriving despite the ongoing assaults from Big Pharma, the Houston Methodist hospital system and media.   Dr. Bowden is on the right side of history.  Earlier today she held a press conference.  WATCH:

Divide and Conquer


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jan 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Martin; “Divide and Conquer” I did not fully comprehend because thirst for power is not in my wheelhouse.
So once the government has promised salvation to the desensitized & numb, the divide creates an army who will do anything against the dissenters, by edict, for the sake of a dreamy future.
Just like much of Stalin’s Soviet population were convinced to outright torture or kill the dissenters so they do not stand in the way.
Disturbing thought when it clicks.
Wish you well;

RH

REPLY: This strategy includes the termination of free speech which is what we are seeing. For example, a letter of self-proclaimed 270 experts wants the Swedish audio streaming service to terminate “The Joe Rogan Experience” show, claiming he is spreading disinformation. I do not listen to his show, but the very idea of a free society means that we musty tolerate those opinions we disagree with. To demand silence from the opposition leads only to communism.

Nikolai Dmitriyevich Kondratieff (1892-1938) was a Russian economist. Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, Kondratieff, an economics professor, was called upon by the new government to create the first Soviet Five-Year Plan. Kondratieff was thus given the opportunity to draw the economic plan for Russia, he assumed, upon a blank slate. He explored the past to gather empirical data upon which to construct the new economy. What he observed was the cyclical nature of society through its booms and busts, and that knowledge would later cost him his life.

In 1926, Kondratieff published his conclusions after investigating history, entitling his work Long Waves in Economic Life. Kondratieff discovered that there were progressive wave formations running spans of 50 to 60 years in length. He had reviewed historical events beginning in 1789 up to the date of his publication in 1926 and described three great waves, with highs of around 1820, 1864, and 1920 that were closely linked to wars. During this time period, the economy, even in the United States, was largely about 70% agrarian. By 1929, the United States’ economy was still about 40% agrarian, and this naturally provided an undertone to his work.

Even without war, adding the maximum time span of one of Kondratieff’s cycles of 60 years to 1920 brings us to 1980, the peak in OPEC oil and gold. Kondratieff effectively reached the conclusion that the economy was driven by cyclical activity, and thus this was implicitly against Hegel and Marx to the extent that no government would be able to reach some perfect state of synthesis. For this reason, Kondratieff’s work was seen as a criticism of Stalin’s goals. He was arrested in July 1930 and accused of being a member of the non-existent “Peasants’ Labour Party,” and was imprisoned for eight years. Stalin wanted him dead and expressed this in a letter dated August 1930. When his eight-year sentence was complete, he was put on trial again under new charges during the Great Purge and sentenced to ten years in prison.

However, upon his sentencing on September 17, 1938, he was taken outside and shot at the age of 46. Kondratieff died as a political prisoner, the government has done its best to destroy his research and to prevent its influence.

The powers in New York already tried to exterminate me. I have no doubt at some point they will think assassinating ANYONE or imprisoning them on fake charges will silence their opposition to the Great Reset. They will assume that silencing anyone who opposes them ensures their success. It will not. What they are doing is exterminating human rights. This is a standard agenda that has been played out countless times throughout history. It is what Patrick Henry explained: “Give me liberty or give me death!” Indeed, I saw the world they are creating behind the Berlin Wall. Death is preferable to living like that and being afraid to speak to anyone. There is no other way to judge the future than to look at the past.

COVID & The Collapse of Confidence in Government


Armstrong Economics Blog/ECM Re-Posted Jan 17, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Little by little the truth about these vaccines is beginning to surface and this has serious implications especially in Europe where protests against crushing lockdowns continue. This appears to be setting the stage as our computer has been forecasting that 2022 is the target year for a Panic Cycle in politics and this is all about the collapse in the confidence of governments on a global scale.

Right here in New Jersey, it was announced by the city of Elizabeth announced more than 50% of their COVID-19 patients are vaccinated and 75% of patients on ventilators are also vaccinated. Dr. Clive Dix, who was the former chairman of Britain’s Vaccines Taskforce has said, has now come out and said bluntly that it is a “waste of time” to keep vaccinating people.

The federal response comes amid the obvious conclusion that vaccinations do not confer lasting immunity against the coronavirus. About 44 percent of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the pandemic, according to a poll conducted between Nov. 30 and Dec. 6 by NPR and Marist College, up from 28 percent in March 2020.

What is blatantly clear is that the White House push for 100% vaccination is meaningless. It only lasts at best 2 to 3 months. There MUST be a change in policy and that means the end of this stupid idea of 100% vaccination that is meaningless and presents tremendous risks that nobody is willing to even elaborate no less disclose. You cannot mandate vaccines and then give 100% immunity to Gates and simultaneously withhold the real truth about side effects and the long-term damage to the immune system. The government MUST get out of the health tyranny.

Just about everyone now knows someone who has had COVID. Guess what – they survived! CNN has deliberately tried to create fear to simply profit from it. Gates pretends to be a great philanthropist while demanding the rich countries but his vaccines and they donate them to the poor countries. Enough of all these lies and manipulations. It is time transparency is provided and all immunity removed from these vaccine companies because as Gates promised, once the entire world was vaccinated, COVID would be extinguished. That was outright FRAUD!
