Value Clients Exiled from Fast Food Chains


Posted 0riginally on May 7, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Blue states that implemented minimum wage hikes are seeing a drastic rise in food prices. Fast food chains like McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle Jack in the Box, Burger King, Domino’s, and more have reported menu item hikes in places like California that now require a much higher minimum wage.

This comes at a time when fast-food establishments are struggling to make ends meet. Last week, numerous establishments like Taco Bell, Starbucks, KFC, Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and others noted a downtick in quarterly earnings. Fast food was once a cheap and quick alternative to the grocery store before inflation turned any outside dining experience into a luxury. Fast food chains that tend to attract upper-middle clientele like Chipotle have not seen as drastic of a reduction, but value clients earning >$45,000 annually, the core base that these establishments relied on, are not able to eat out.

McDonald’s said it has adopted a “street-fighting mentality” to attract new clients, but that will be a hard target to achieve domestically due to supply chain constraints, food inflation, and now minimum wage requirements. Fast food restaurants saw a 5% price increase overall in March, but states like California are witnessing prices surpass anything that the value client could once afford.

Minimum Wage 2

Effective April 1, fast food workers in California now receive a minimum wage of $20 thanks to a new law, AB 1228, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. California already had one of the highest minimum wage brackets in the country at $15.50.

Chipotle, one of the few establishments that did not post a quarterly loss, was forced to raise prices between 6% and 7% across all 500 California-based locations. “The state isn’t making it easy,” Chipotle Chief Executive Brian Niccol reportedly said. The Wall Street Journal reported that menu items at Chic-Fil-A in California have risen by as much as 13% since mid-February.

Expect companies to begin issuing much smaller portions and automating their workforce. These measures are always passed down to the consumer, and in this instance, the target consumer is already priced out. McDonald’s is already looking at expanding internationally in places like China where it has become more profitable to conduct business. Politicians like Newsom pass these laws that sound great when spoken to the crowd but they are never properly executed because they go against the free market.

Civil Unrest Across US Universities – Staged Actors


Posted originally on May 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Staged actors have been embedded in US universities to promote the pro-Palestinian, anti-US sentiments. Professional agitators have been utilized countless times throughout periods of civil unrest, and while the media has repeatedly denied that Soros and other far-left funders are backing these protests, the evidence is in plain sight.

StagedAgitatorsCivilUnrestPalestine

CNN reported that many of the “students” arrested at Columbia and City College of New York had no affiliation with either school. The New York Police Department arrested 282 people, and only 148 (a bit over half) were actually students.

Take a look at the tents popping up across all major universities – they are identical. The media claims that students are simply searching for the cheapest tent, which appears to be the two-person Ozark Trail option at Walmart, which retails for around $30. However, it seems suspicious that hundreds of students purchase the same tent coincidentally. A lot of these privileged college kids in Ivy League schools are not known for sorting by price. It is more probable that an organization purchased these tents in bulk and distributed them on college campuses.

Students are also receiving instructional booklets on how to protest. Why is everyone wearing COVID-era masks? They have been directed to conceal their identities to stay anonymous, as “it can help if the entire crowd is doing it.” They are told to bring two sets of clothes and conceal any logos or identifiable items.

Officers are reporting uniformed supplies, and stating that they believe what is happening is not the result of mere student organizations. Again, everyone calls them conspiracy theorists and dismisses any claim that these events have been manufactured to create civil unrest and divide America. So we saw outside agitators used numerous times in recent years during Black Lives Matter riots and even on January 6. Organizations such as the Open Society Foundations openly donate to “grassroots” causes and specifically target the youth to carry out their messaging.

As reported by Fox, Sami Al-Arian, a known terrorist who was once deported, advised associates and his wife to camp out along with the college students. This man is admittedly associated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group. He has taken to social media to promote the civil unrest across American universities. This is a clear and REAL threat to national security. Again, these students are too naive to understand the root cause of these issues or the truly dangerous actors fueling the flames.

Even Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams believes that these events are staged. “I know that there are those who are attempting to say, ‘Well, the majority of the people have been students.’ You don’t have to be the majority to influence and co-opt an operation. That’s what this is about,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “We’re going to protect our city from those who are attempting to do what is happening globally. There is a movement to radicalize young people and I’m not going to wait until it’s done and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it.”

Adams went on to say that the goal of these protests is to create “discord and divisiveness,” and for once, I actually agree with the guy.

Where is the president amid this ongoing crisis? He mumbled a few words from a teleprompter but he should be meeting with university presidents and law enforcement agencies. These professional agitators are manipulating the vulnerable youth into making decisions that will prevent them from seeking employment and stain their records.

BlackLivesMatter.Hamas_

The Black Lives Matter riots heated up in May 2020 ahead of the election, and now we are seeing that same issue play out once again where the left is permitted to wreak havoc on the public in the name of social justice.

Biden said he would be willing to accept Palestinian refugees into the US, a move that no country in the Arab world has agreed to do. The worldwide media is covering these events, but the POTUS has failed to condemn the ongoing violence, and then you have his former handler, Obama, publicly sending letters urging Biden to agree to a ceasefire. The “students” are now requesting “humanitarian aid,” showing how utterly clueless and lost they have become. Tensions are rising, protests have turned into riots, and violence will escalate if something is not done to promote law and order.

Riots Erupt on UCLA Campus and Universities as Pro-Hamas Groups Clash With College Students


Posted originally on the CTH on May 1, 2024 | Sundance

There was a meme we often shared 15-years-ago as the era of Obama’s political rise started to manifest in full glory.  The Chicago Marxists, who used the power of political correctness, guilt and progressivism to manipulate public opinion, were successful.

The radicals took control of the executive branch institutions, George Soros began funding networks connected at various state levels to the judicial branch institutions and the manifesting results were predictable.

All of the current violent and extreme pro-Hamas college activity flows from the same system of NGO’s and political activist groups connected to the Obama network.  They hate Israel, and they hate the USA.

CALIFORNIA – In UCLA last night protesters and counter-protesters were seen clashing with sticks, and tearing down metal barricades, TV footage showed. Others were seen launching fireworks or hurling objects at each other in the dark – lit up with laser pointers and bright flashlights.

The Los Angeles police department said that ‘officers have been deployed, and are currently on the UCLA campus, to assist in restoring order.’

The nationwide protests have posed a challenge to university administrators trying to balance free speech rights with complaints that the rallies have veered into anti-Semitism and hate.

The unrest has swept through US higher education institutions like wildfire, with many student protesters erecting tent encampments on campuses from coast to coast.

In another of the newest clashes, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, police moved in Tuesday to clear one encampment, detaining some protesters in a tense showdown.

A week-long occupation was brought also brought to an end at northern California’s Cal Poly Humboldt while Portland State University’s campus, in Oregon, was closed Tuesday ‘due to an ongoing incident’ in the library.

Local media reported around 50 protesters had broken into the building a day earlier.

And Brown University reached an agreement in which student protesters will remove their encampment in exchange for the institution holding a vote on divesting from Israel – a major concession from an elite American university. 

Shocking footage from the scene at UCLA showed both sides openly clashing as college security abandoned the scene and local police were nowhere to be seen.

Just before 11pm local time in Los Angeles, the violence escalated when the pro-Israeli side surrounded the pro-Palestine group. During this standoff, a firework was thrown at the camp.

The video showed both sides using pieces of wood as makeshift weapons. The walls of the encampment were smashed, at least one person could be seen being dragged on the ground by another group.

‘Horrific acts of violence occurred at the encampment tonight, and we immediately called law enforcement for mutual aid support,’ UCLA’s vice-chancellor Mary Osako said in a tweet.

The LAPD said in a message that their presence was requested on campus at UCLA due to ‘multiple acts of violence.’

These clashes lasted for around 90 minutes before Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced that law enforcement was about to be deployed at the college. At 1:30am local time police officers and the California Highway Patrol arrived. (READ MORE)

Banks Wage War on Gun Ownership


Posted originally on Apr 24, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

The government has successfully weaponized the banks against the people. Major banks are voluntarily sharing customers’ private transactions with the federal government “as part of a wildly overbroad financial surveillance scheme intended to identify domestic terrorists,” a group of attorneys general wrote in a letter to Bank of America in regards to discrimination against Christian organizations. The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) is now exposing how banks are cracking down on legal firearm ownership as Washington moves to nullify the Second Amendment.

“Over the last decade, significant media attention has been paid to the left’s obsession with using banks and asset managers to end fossil fuels. Unfortunately, very little attention has been given on the left’s use of certain banks to chip away at legal private ownership and use of firearms,” the AAF Research Team wrote to Fox Business. “Unfortunately, law-abiding Americans who exercise their 2nd amendment rights have a proverbial bullseye on their backs placed there, in large part, by certain banks and their left-wing comrades who want to undermine Americans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms.”

CBDC 1

The banks began by targeting gun manufacturers and refusing them the right to take out loans, not because of credit or anything quantifiable, but because banking institutions have taken on the role of judge and juror. “Debanked by the Banks” has called out Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, AMALGAMTED Bank, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Capital One for waging war on the second amendment.

“Due to the legislation, JPMorgan Chase & Co. won’t bid on business with public entities in Texas, a key market where the bank underwrote $3.6 billion of municipal debt sales in 2020. Texas-based borrowers sold more than $58 billion of bonds in 2020, the most of any state after California, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. As part of bond offerings, borrowers often hire banks ahead of time and pay them a fee for underwriting the sales,” the group listed on its website of one example. JPMorgan Chase is eager to set up the Ukraine Reconstruction Bank and had no problem financing the likes of Jeffery Epstein, but legal gun ownership does not align with the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset as any power threatens the establishment.

This is certainly not limited to the United States. I wrote how the climate change zealots in the UK are prohibiting citizens in South Gloucestershire from lighting firewood, as one of countless examples. Individuals like Nigel Farage have been debanked for speaking against the status-quo, media contacts like Maria Zaric of Australia have been debanked for speaking out as well. The governments are using the banks to quell any dissent, be it through legal firearm protection, free speech, or the freedom of religion.

Governments can view your transactions. Banks globally are voluntarily providing your personal data to the government, but soon, there will be no need for a middleman through the use of CBDC as the governments can track your transactions and debunk you in real time.

Background Checks are Racist


Posted originally on Apr 24, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Racism

Biden’s botched recreation of Trump’s convenience store stop has resulted in more than a failed campaign attempt. On the same day that Joe Biden shuffled through Sheetz, a privately owned convenience store chain with 700 stores across six states, an organization in line with his administration decided to file a lawsuit against Sheetz for violating civil rights laws.

What did the convenience store chain do to violate human rights? The corporation requests that their employees undergo a background check as part of the employment process. Every single government agency requires a lengthy background check process, but it is (D)ifferent! The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claims that Sheetz is disproportionately targeting Black Americans by requesting background checks. So, they are already stating that they believe minorities are more likely to have committed a criminal offense, which in itself seems hypocritical.

“Diversity and inclusion are essential parts of who we are. We take these allegations seriously. We have attempted to work with the EEOC for nearly eight years to find common ground and resolve this dispute,” a company spokesperson stated. The EEOC states in their lawsuit that Sheetz has violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “Federal law mandates that employment practices causing a disparate impact because of race or other protected classifications must be shown by the employer to be necessary to ensure the safe and efficient performance of the particular jobs at issue,” touted EEOC attorney Debra M. Lawrence, who claims the company has been using these discriminatory background checks since 2015 to prevent minorities from seeking employment.

The background check process is equal for all races as they simply look at one’s criminal history. There is absolutely no possible way to alter the results of the background check – someone either has a criminal past or not. The EEOC said that White Americans had a failure rate of under 8% with Sheetz, compared to Black Americans and Native Americans, who had a failure rate of 14.5% and 13%.

Of no surprise, Sheetz, a family company, previously made a large donation to the National Republican Congressional Committee before the 2020 US Presidential Election.

Everything is considered racist in woke America. Bail has been deemed racist. School admissions are racist, as are the admissions tests for law and medical schools. They have even called climate change racist. There are calls for the elimination of credit checks, too, since they are also racist, and lenders should not base their decisions on someone’s financial history. The entire premise of DEI is that society is inherently racist and equality should not be based on the content of one’s character but solely on race.
