Winter Weather Exacerbates Supply Chain Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/North America Re-Posted Jan 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Comment: This is a Whole Foods in a high to middle income suburb in the northeast on January 4, 2022. I live near numerous ports from NJ, PA, to NY. I have lived here my whole life and have never seen the aisles this bare. When corona began the essentials were missing from shelves but now they are completely bare. Did JB completely ruin America?

Reply: The snowfall in the north has only exacerbated the supply chain and food crisis. The ports up north are not what they once were, and perhaps I will elaborate on that in a separate post. Regardless, the shelves should never appear that empty. I too lived in the north for many years, and even amid snowstorms, there was more food available than what I am seeing in your pictures.

It is a global problem, but the Biden Administration is undoubtedly making matters worse. Forced vaccinations, trucker/labor shortages, inflation denial, and increased shipping costs are all contributing to the diminished supply of available goods. Additionally, farmers in the US (and elsewhere) noted that food prices will rise in 2022. Unfortunately, 40% of our exports come in from California, where Governor Newsom has imposed laws to ensure a depleted supply chain for the rest of the country.

Winter weather is now coming into play as a new variable exacerbating the supply chain. As I warned years ago, stock up while you can.

What Happened On January 6, 2021?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

After a year and hundreds of arrests, we still do not know what happened on January 6, 2021. Over 16 news agencies are urging the US government to release footage from that day to no avail. Were the protestors allowed into the building? The government keeps secrets when it has something to hide. I reported last year that the events that unfolded that day were a false flag.

The event was clearly orchestrated in advance to achieve three objectives:

  1. To stop any demand to investigate the election
  2. To further the Domestic Terrorist Act
  3. To justify creating a wall around the Capitol to protect them while imposing the Great Reset

The Democrats used the event to deflect from the investigation into election fraud, labeling anyone who participated in the protest as a domestic terrorist. Pelosi and Schumer lied to the public by claiming it was an “armed insurrection,” despite the FBI failing to recover any guns. The only people who were undoubtedly armed that day were the cops who murdered unarmed citizens such as Ashli Babbitt. January 6 also allowed the left to spin propaganda for the media to divide the country further. “There are legitimate white supremacist sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican Caucus,” AOC cried, claiming that she had a close call with death that day. In truth, AOC’s office was not in the same building where the protest took place — she lied.

In the same breath, those same lawmakers were mute when left-supporting groups such as BLM burned downed cities and municipal buildings. No one was charged as a domestic terrorist for those crimes. Instead, Pelosi constructed a since removed barrier around the Capitol as she knew that civil unrest was growing. In truth, the unrest was the people v. politicians, but the political rhetoric made neighbors turn on one another.

Were the people exercising their right to protest, or were they guilty of domestic terrorism? This does not seem as organized as an event such as Mussolini’s “March on Rome,” where an actual insurrection occurred. Did the protestors have clearance from someone within to enter the building? The Department of Justice unwillingly gave misdemeanors to those who did not incite violence while handing out felonies to those who allegedly clashed with police or destroyed government property. Everyone involved now has a record that will follow them permanently. Yet, only the government truly knows what unfolded on January 6, 2021.

Fake COVID-19 Test Centers Appear in Philadelphia


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Jan 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Disturbingly, a number of fraudulent COVID-19 testing pop-up centers are appearing in major cities throughout the US. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health issued a warning: “Last week, the Health Department was notified of small pop-up tents that were offering free COVID-19 testing operating in Center City. The staff who worked at these sites claimed they were funded by FEMA.”

The department went on to say that these pop-up sites were in no way affiliated with FEMA. As a matter of fact, the city seems puzzled as to how these centers even came into existence. These tents were placed in popular areas of the city that were completely on display, but it took many complaints before city officials shut down the operation.

What was the motive? The centers offered free testing at no direct cost and paid for the testing kits. I believe that the motive was identity and insurance theft. Those who visited the sites were asked to present identification, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses. They also have a slew of personal DNA at their disposal now. Some have reported that the sites attempted to collect their insurance information, but that is likely where they will get nabbed as insurance companies are notoriously ruthless.

The city of Philadelphia is now telling everyone with symptoms who visited one of these testing centers to assume that they are positive for COVID. Yet another method to inflate numbers. Anyone who has visited Philadelphia in recent years has seen the city’s rapid decline as both poverty and crime are on the rise. The city should require bulletproof vests instead of masks. As of January 3, the city prohibited unvaccinated patrons from entering public spaces. Mayor Jim Kenney is clueless, and someone should be held responsible for allowing these sites to exist in plain view without proper examination. If you visited one of these testing locations, review your personal information to ensure that your identity and personal information are secure.

January 6th, 2022 & Civil Unrest


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jan 6, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Your target for this week concerning Russia might be hitting Kazakhstan. The protesters began shooting the military and they set the President’s home on fire. Could this be the January 6th target?

EH

ANSWER: The protests there are over inflation with the drastic price rise in fuel. I fund it interesting that Russia is claiming the US is behind that uprising. That may be providing justification for confrontation in Ukraine. We clearly have two primary incentives for civil unrest in Kazakhstan (1) mandatory vaccines, and (2) escalating fuel costs that even deprive people of heat in winter. There have been explosions at the public buildings surrounded by protesters.

Meanwhile, on the border with Ukraine, there are at least 175,000 troops on the border and Putin has moved in the heavy equipment that would otherwise take time to move in. Eastern Ukraine is ethnically Russian, not Ukrainian. For Putin to invade the East, he would have much more support than what the media would report. Meanwhile, Ukraine is following the West Covide restrictions which are not popular. An official document confirming that they have been vaccinated with a WHO-approved vaccine is required to travel.

With respect to Ukraine, on March 1st, 2014 (2014.164), the Russian government approved the invasion of Ukraine. That came on the Cycle of War Model which has been rather consistent. However, Russia then came to the aid of Syria precisely on the date of the Economic Confidence Model – 2015.75.

In addition, the ECM plotted from the Cuban Missile Crisis also targeted 2014.39 as the beginning of a new period of direct confrontation. That too pointed to 2014 and the period for the shift in geopolitical trend.

That was met with Obama imposing sanctions on Russia which was absurd.  The idea that putting on sanctions will force the people to overthrow their government has never worked because the people know the enemy is not their own government but external. That boosted Putin’s polls.

There are two dates in 2022 where a military confrontation is likely, from January 6, 2022, which is the Ukrainian ECM, and then there is October 5/6, 2022 which is 8.6 years from the 2014 turning point on the War Cycle and the Cuban Missile Model. In addition, there is the ECM turning point of March 14th, 2022. Of course, the peak of the previous wave was 2015.75 and that did mark the day Russia came into Syria.

When we look back at the first wave out of the start of this current 51.6-year cycle 1985.65, the first turning point was 1987.8 which produced the price low in the 1987 Crash to the day.  But the peak of that wave was 1989.95 which marked the fall of Communism. This was the equivalent of the 2024 turning point. That was followed by the 1991 break-up of the Soviet Union.

From a strategy perspective, if I were Putin I would like up with China to do a coordinated attack. If China moves against Taiwan and Russia moved against Ukraine, there is no way the West could mount any credible defense on two fronts. China has shut down all independent press now in Hong Kong. However, unreported is the capital controls. I have reports from Hong Kong that overnight, capital controls were implemented. Hong Kong residents can not send more than $50,000 annually out of the country. Clearly, our computer is looking very concerned with respect to even Japan and South Korea as there appears to be a mad rush to Singapore. There is even a separatist movement in Thailand over religion where the Muslims want to join Malyasia.

Something is in the wind. Perhaps January 6th may be just the point of a decision for the world markets do not seem to like what is offered after the 1st quarter here in 2022.

Macron Pushing France to Revolution


Armstrong Economics Blog/France Re-Posted Jan 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

French President Emmanuel Macron has shown that he is just not suitable to be the head of any government. Macron is fully on board with Schwab’s Great Reset. They promised that creating the EU would lead to a bigger economy that would beat the United States, but that has proven false. The EU has even been surpassed by China. Macron actually said in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper:

“I really want to piss them off, and we’ll carry on doing this – to the end.” 

For a head of state to address the nation in this manner is unimaginable. Mandatory vaccinations are the brainchild of the World Economic Forum to crush society in order to Build Back Better. The vaccines are already being addressed that you will need boosters every 3 to 6 months to retain any rights. They do not prevent COVID, but they are effective as a tool to manipulate and divide society. With elections coming up in April, he is clearly counting on dividing the country and trying to turn the vaccinated into the oppressors of the unvaccinated.

Vaccines are being introduced in several European countries, with Austria leading the way. That was the trial balloon and the people complied and did not storm the palaces and drag the politicians out as they have done in Brazil. Germany is moving forward with the same plan, and our staff in Germany have now left the country to protect their children. Italy’s government is considering a compulsory vaccine pass for at least anyone over 60.

Macron in his interview with Le Parisien used the vulgar term emmerder to say how he wanted to stir up the unvaccinated. He would not “vaccinate by force” the remaining five million, but said he was “limiting as much as possible their access to activities in social life.”

He continued: “I won’t send [unvaccinated people] to prison.” Nevertheless, he said: “so we need to tell them, from 15 January, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theatre. You will no longer be able to go to the cinema.”

Reports from France say that politicians are starting to get death threats. Schwab had to cancel Davos because of all the death threats. History warns that this is the inevitable end result. There will be revolutions and they will drag politicians out of their ivory towers — they will be killed in the streets. Over 200 million people died the last time they tried to impose Marxism. It was a blood bath. This is the reality of Schwab’s dream. History will indeed repeat and this is building to violence in Europe very rapidly. The people may have been denied guns, but they can use old fashion resistance with bows and arrows and sling-shots.

The Romans made slingshot bullets that came at you with such force they could knock you out or even kill you. They were typically almond shape to increase the velocity. It will be interesting to see if people who are denied guns can still resort to ancient-style weapons for a revolution. Unfortunately, people like Macron are in charge and they are providing the very incentive for revolution as the worst tyrants in history. In the US, fortunately, our political structure denied the head of state the powers being exercised in Europe. In the USA, it is state by state.

Australia Northern Territory Goes Another Step Further, Unvaxxed Are Now Locked Out of Society


Posted Originally on the conservative tree house on January 6, 2022 | sundance | 158 Comments

We have discussed this guy before. [HERE and HERE and HERE]. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner is a fast-talking little man of notoriously intemperate disposition who will not allow any criticism of his totalitarian tendencies.  Gunner has promised to be as brutal as needed to stop COVID spread in the region. He will accept no vocal dissent to his mandates from citizens in the state.  All vaccine hesitant citizens are considered enemies of the state, and now subject to arrest if they voice any objection.

Today, Gunner announced that due to Omicron, he is taking the concept of lockdowns one step further.  Effectively 1pm today, anyone who is not vaccinated is, by decree, designated as locked out of civil society in the region.  Without notice, and effective almost immediately, the unvaccinated citizens in the Northern Territory are to remain confined in their homes and are not permitted to work.

At 1pm on Monday the lockout will be lifted; however, a mandatory vaccine passport process will be fully implemented in the territory, and the unvaccinated will continue to be locked out of all non-essential, businesses, operations and services in society.  WATCH (prompted):

This is the guy who put the quarantine containment camps into place, and said the people in them were volunteering to be detained.  A few days later three aboriginal men, all of whom tested negative for the virus, climbed the fence and escaped the “detainment facility.” {REMINDER HERE}.  The military and police were then activated to conduct a manhunt, closed the roads, set up checkpoints where vehicles were searched and used helicopters with trained personnel to hunt the escapees.  That’s the reference for how this guy rolls.

Madness.

(Sky News) – […]  “If you are not fully vaxxed, stay home. You are at greater risk of catching COVID, getting ill and needing hospital care,” Mr Gunner said.  “The fully vaccinated can continue as they were. For people who are not vaccinated, lockdown rules will apply to everyone aged 16 and above.

The lockout will end on Monday at midday and a vaccine pass system will be implemented. (link)

Australian Government Detains #1 Tennis Player in World, Novak Djokovic, Cancels His Visa and Plans to Deport Over Vaccine Status


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 5, 2022 | sundance | 192 Comments

The totalitarian regime in Australia has created a real mess after they granted tennis superstar Novak Djokovic, the #1 player in the world, a visa to enter the country and play in the Australian Open, and then detained him at the airport, cancelled the visa, and announced they will forcibly deport him.

The Serbs have promised to fight the Australians in the streets.

Why?  Because of Djokovic’s vaccination status, of course.

Australia – […] Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Instagram he spoke with Djokovic over the phone and told him that “the whole of Serbia is with him and that our authorities are undertaking all measures in order that maltreatment of the world’s best tennis player ends as soon as possible”.

“In line with all standards of international public law, Serbia will fight for Novak Djokovic, justice and truth.”

Australian prime minister Scott Morrison said that Djokovic had failed to provide sufficient proof to receive a medical exemption to enter the country and insisted that the Serb was not “singled out” for scrutiny over his visa cancellation.  He said: “Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders”.

Having landed on a commercial flight at Melbourne Airport around 12.30pm, the Serbian was detained for hours upon arrival, with news of his visa cancellation coming a full nine hours later. According to his father, Srdjan, Djokovic had initially been kept alone in a room with guards outside. “Novak is currently in a room which no one can enter,” he had told the B92 internet portal. “In front of the room are two policemen.”

Srdjan also told Australian breakfast show Sunrise: “They are holding my son captive. If they don’t release him in the next half an hour, we will fight them on the street.”

Djokovic had gleefully announced on Tuesday that he had been given an exemption from having to be vaccinated against coronavirus before boarding a 14-hour flight from Dubai to Melbourne. (read more)

In a fight between the Serbians and the Australians, it’s likely the less woke Serbians would win…  Just sayin’.

French President Emmanuel Macron Declares Unvaccinated as “Annoying, Non-Citizens”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 5, 2022 | sundance | 253 Comments

Serrez plus fort, mes amis – squeeze harder. This only ends one way.

The communist leftists in France have always had a problem with their citizenry.  Their biggest challenge is that France, has a strong historic sense of nationalism.  The modern political left in Europe has worked earnestly to erode that cultural truth, and the leftists in the U.S. have tried to assist them throughout.  This is the essential reason why the U.S. State Department deployed the “Rivkin Project.”

Like Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron was installed by the larger assembly of Vichy Communists; and just like the previous Tea Party rose up to confront President Obama, in France the Yellow Vest movement appeared to confront President Macron.   We are finally at a time where people are able to see these connective tissues, and that my friends is a very good outcome.

We the people, those who understand the deepest values of nationalism in the cultural and political battle against globalism, need these installed leaders to remain visible.

We need them to squeeze harder because every time they do, more people awaken.

French President Emmanuel Macron feels emboldened by the rise of COVID fear.  Pretenses are being dropped as these words were spoken yesterday about the citizens of France:

(EuroNews) […] Macron told Le Parisien that he had decided to act against the non-vaccinated, by “limiting as much as possible their access to social life activity”.  “The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so we will continue to do so, to the bitter end. That’s the strategy,” the head of state said. “When my freedom comes to threaten that of other people, I become irresponsible. An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen.”

The president’s language is being seen as an inversion of a comment by one of his predecessors Georges Pompidou, who said it was time to “stop pissing off the French people” in 1966 when he was prime minister.

“I am not going to put them in prison, I am not going to forcibly vaccinate them,” Macron went on. “Therefore you have to say to them: from January 15 you can no longer go to a restaurant, you can no longer go for a drink, you can no longer go for a coffee, you can no longer go to the theatre, you can no longer go to the cinema,” the president said.  (read more)

Barack Obama was installed; the American people are starting to realize.

Justin Trudeau was installed; the Canadian people are starting to realize.

Jacinda Ardern was installed; the people of New Zealand are starting to realize.

Emmanuel Macron was installed; the French people are starting to realize.

Ursula von der Leyen was installed; the people captured by the EU are starting to realize.

And yes, when they installed Joe Biden, they went too far, and this installation process started to become transparent.

The beta testing for the globalist (World Economic Forum) controlled and installed efforts became highly visible to many close observers when Barack H. Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt and triggered the beginning of what became known as “The Arab Spring.”   There it was the visible delivery of what we knew was taking place, but for the first time it was transparent which processes they were deploying.

The Obama visit to Cairo was needed, because it was around the same time when the socialist movement in the European Union was running out of financing for their multi-cultural experiment.   The state department effort was coordinated by Charles Rivkin, hence the Rivkin Project specifically targeting the peskiest country for the globalists pushing multi-culturalism in the EU, France.

Now, thanks to various governments’ weaponizing COVID as a tool for control, people around the world are starting to sense and even see that something is controlling all of this – at least something is coordinating all of this.  Indeed, the political exploits of the multinational corporate elites from Davos and the World Economic Forum are starting to become much more visible.

Squeeze harder I say…. this awakening needs more urgency.  The line of acceptance is different for all people.   We need the forces driving that line to move rapidly in order to assemble the largest army possible.  Squeeze harder.

It takes moments of great consequence to overcome generational complacency.  That is the opportunity we are being given with COVID-19 and the government exploitation of it.

The hidden totalitarian nature of government and the ruling class is being revealed, this is a good development for those who were trying desperately to get people to see it before.

I am optimistic, like the moment in the battle when the disproportionate brutality becomes visible, and the tides change in favor of victim.  The cheers around the colosseum do not have to start out supporting the gladiators in order for the gladiator to ultimately become victorious.  Indeed, any gladiator worth his salt knows the primary goal is to change the chant and instill fear in one gilded chair.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.  Extreme measures to retain control are reactions to equally extreme senses of fear.

All around the world, right now, there are mini dictators tenuously clinging to power and trying to control a much larger mob.  They have multitudes of advisors helping them, they have financial resources, and they have enforcers. However, just as Gaius Julius Caesar lost control with the entire Roman army around him, so too are these dictators and totalitarians subjects to a much larger citizenry.

Squeeze harder…. please, squeeze harder.

As fast as possible, we need to get to the point where we are finally going to deal with them.  Simultaneously, they are trying to avoid being dealt with.  Squeeze harder, says the slave gladiator as others surface to join the fight.  Squeeze harder.

This will not end well for the ruling class.  So, let’s get on with it…

Squeeze harder…

Communist Chicago Teachers Demand Schools Remain Closed During Omicron Spike, Remote Classes Only


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 5, 2022 | sundance | 194 Comments

It is not coincidental that Chicago becomes the place where the insufferable communist activist teachers become most visible in their attacks against parents and students.  In the method of using the sector of education as a weapon, the Marxists in Chicago are the epicenter of communist ideology.

Chicago is Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and of course, Barack Obama.  The teacher’s union in Chicago is a fully communist education movement, with an entrenched belief that all children belong to the grand communal outlook they represent.

So, it does not come as a surprise to see the Chicago Teachers Union tell the city officials ‘they are in charge‘ and they will dictate COVID policy.

CHICAGO – Classes were canceled Wednesday in Chicago, the country’s third-largest school district, as union leaders and city officials failed to reach an agreement over how to operate schools safely amid the surge in coronavirus cases – an impasse cemented with a late-night vote from Chicago Teachers Union that could lock students out of in-person learning until mid-January.

“Right now, going into school puts us at risk, puts our students and families at risk,” union President Jesse Sharkey said in a press conference Wednesday morning. “That’s the simple truth of the matter. This is a virus that’s raging through the city.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot rebuffed the claims by union representatives that the entire district should operate remotely until the rapid spread of the highly transmissible omicron variant subsides or until city officials enforce more stringent safety protocols.

“I cannot stand here in good conscience as the mayor of this city,” she said, “and tell you that it makes sense to shut down an entire system. If I thought it did, if I heard that from our public health experts, then I would be the first one to tell you that’s what we must do.”  (read more)

Modern Democrats are communists.  Their modern tools for power retention are based on Marxism.  Their increased influence and success are the downstream consequence of their use of Barack Obama.

After decades of effort and positioning, using racism as a weapon, Obama became the tool and inflection point to mainstream communism as an acceptable political effort inside U.S. politics.   Everything after, including the issues today with Omicron et al, is simply a consequence.

AOC: Rules for Thee but Not for Me


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

AOC has been partying it up on vacation in Miami, Florida while enjoying the freedoms that she denies to those in the state of New York. AOC has been spotted in numerous crowded public venues without a mask, hugging strangers, and certainly not socially distancing. This is the person who jumps on a soapbox at every opportunity to shove restrictions down the throats of Americans while completely disobeying her own rules.

“We hope you’re enjoying a taste of freedom here in the Sunshine State thanks to @RonDeSantisFL leadership,” a Team Desantis Twitter account tweeted. “Hasn’t Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks?” the confused politician snarkily replied. Yes, in fact, Governor DeSantis has been away aiding his wife as she undergoes chemotherapy treatments.

When AOC received continued criticism for her hypocrisy, she replied akin to a pre-teen child by accusing Republicans of secretly having a crush on her. You can’t make this stuff up.

“It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, & LGBT+ people in general. These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird,” AOC embarrassingly stated while failing to deflect blame. This woman is an embarrassment to American democracy and has become a sensationalized celebrity rather than a representative of the people.

AOC does not believe in the laws or restrictions that she blindly supports in an effort to be the most progressive of the progressives. It is not the first time she has been seen breaking the laws she imposes on others. This woman does not have the best interest of the people in mind, and no, the criticism does not come from a secret desire to date her. I would rather be alone for eternity.
