Alberta Drops COVID Restrictions
Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Aug 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
In Alberta, Canada, Patrick King represented himself in court after being fined $1200 dollars for protesting against the Covid restrictions. He issued a subpoena to the Provincial Health Minister for proof that the Covid-19 Virus exists. The government was UNABLE to provide that proof and were therefore forced to admit that they had no such evidence. Since the virus has never been isolated, without proof that there is a virus the government had no legal grounds to impose any such restrictions.
Alberta has subsequently rescinded all Covid-Restrictions and now officially treats Covid-19 as nothing more than the mild flu. Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw announced the changes on July 28 as part of the province’s move to treat the virus as part of life in Alberta and treat it in the same way Albertans treat other respiratory viruses.
Deep Inside the Intelligence Rabbit Hole – Was China Behind Pegasus?
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 4, 2021 | Sundance | 199 Comments
A very odd sequence of events (more on that later) created a need for me to pause the ongoing “Fourth Branch of Government” series. A rather important discovery connected to Israeli intelligence and China came into view. I am still evaluating, and researching deeper than comfortable in this rabbit hole. It is very time consuming and more than a little complex to unravel.
If you read the article about the “Pegasus Project”, spyware created to infect cell phones that was marketed by Israeli intelligence through a company called NSO {Go Deep Here}, then you essentially know the background. However, a very serious connection and discovery has been made that changes the dynamic of that story completely.
It has been identified that the actual code that created the malware behind Pegasus was not, in actuality, code generated from within the network of the Israeli company that sells the software/spyware.
There is a very strong indication the actual spyware was created by the Chinese.
Yes, that would make the “Pegasus spyware” Chinese spyware distributed to western governments and agents (outside 5-eyes) through the false front of the Israeli government.
Obviously, if we can verify this evidence, the entire dynamic behind the story changes dramatically. The Israelis, specifically the NSO company that markets Pegasus, would have to know the origin was China. Questions: (1) Why would Israel act as the front for Chinese spyware to infect phones of western targets? (2) If the Israelis did not know the origin of the software/spyware was China, well, that’s an even bigger issue by itself – but the baseline there is doubtful.
The original Guardian Article explained Pegasus like this:
NSO creates tech software, spyware, that allows governments to spy on cell phones.
As the Guardian notes, [NSO] “sells surveillance technology to governments worldwide. Its flagship product is Pegasus, spying software – or spyware – that targets iPhones and Android devices. Once a phone is infected, a Pegasus operator can secretly extract chats, photos, emails and location data, or activate microphones and cameras without a user knowing.”
Due to the nature of the product they sell, NSO works with the Israeli government to vet the purchaser of the spyware they sell.
Returning to the Guardian report, “Claudio Guarnieri, who runs Amnesty International’s Security Lab, said once a phone was infected with Pegasus, a client of NSO could in effect take control of a phone, enabling them to extract a person’s messages, calls, photos and emails, secretly activate cameras or microphones, and read the contents of encrypted messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal.”
Pegasus has been deployed to target tens-of-thousands of cell phones by the people who Israel sold the spyware to. The Guardian, and a group of allied leftists in media, has been granted access to a leaked massive batch of 50,000 phone numbers that the Pegasus software was operating in.
If the Chinese origin is accurate; and it looks to me like it is; then the real benefactor of all that spyware data extraction was actually the Communist Party of China. The people, and western governments who deployed the spyware, would have access to the phone data of the target. However, unbeknownst to the originating entity, the CCP would end up with access to the results of the spyware the Western government launched.
If this turns out to be correct, that is one super stealthy intelligence operation by the Communist Chinese with a myriad of downstream consequences.
Instead of infiltrating the databases of western enemies, the Chinese may have just provided a trojan horse to their enemy (Western governments) who then unwittingly (?) deployed spyware on their behalf, thinking the Western agents were conducting cell-phone surveillance on their own targets….. and while doing so they were unwittingly feeding the intelligence result to Chinese intelligence services.
More later….

Biden – America’s Commodus?
Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Aug 4, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
Commodus (177-192AD), the notorious Roman emperor with whom history has drawn the line for the start of the decline & fall of the Roman Empire, issued this coin of which only two are known to have survived. The reverse is supposed to symbolize prosperity moving forward, which reminds me of Biden. Here a Youthful Dionysos, nude but for a wreath around his head, seated upright to left, but with his head to the right, on a panther walking to right; Dionysos’ legs are on either side of the panther, he holds a thyrsos in his right hand and rests his left hand on the panther’s neck.
When Commodus was assassinated, the Praetorian Guards were so corrupt that they auctioned off the office of emperor to the highest bidder. That was Didus Julianus who managed to rule for less than five months before he was taken out.
The thyrsos is typically associated with the Greek god Dionysus, or his Roman counterpart Bacchus, and represents a symbol of prosperity, fertility, and hedonism. This reminds me of Biden trying to look youthful, also pretending that he is creating prosperity while sniffing your girls, and moving forward with strength sitting on the back of a panther. It didn’t work out well for Rome with Commodus, and Biden’s insane infrastructure bill is not something that will create prosperity but end up as the tipping point for the decline and fall.
Interestingly, there was a period of conservatism that also preceded Commodus, which included tax reductions. The curious aspect about history is that the very same patterns unfold over and over again, even in the same sequence. From the assassination of Commodus, the nation was plunged into a civil war that lasted for two years.
NIH Director Wants Parents to Wear Masks at Home Around Their Children, “I know it seems weird”
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 3, 2021 | Sundance | 201 Comments
National Institute of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins wants to show America just how insufferably nuts the United States healthcare industry has become. So, he goes on television and tells parents the best advice from the scientists, who are guiding public health policy, is for parents to wear face masks inside their homes if they have unvaccinated children.
Knowing the words coming out of his mouth are absolutely nuts, the Director of the NIH says: “I know it seems weird, but it is the best way to protect your kids.”
No. It’s not weird, and it’s not the best way to protect your kids.
The best way to protect kids from the more devastating impact of crazy (ie. life with leftists), is for adults to act like adults, apply common sense adult thinking toward the insanity of the idiots, and ridicule the “scientists” in front of the children.
Teach children the skills of critical thinking, logical thinking, that gives them intellectual armor against the interests of the communal crazy tribe. That skillset is very likely to save their lives.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Discusses Corporate Media Narrative Surrounding Florida COVID Response
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 3, 2021 | Sundance | 79 Comments
The Biden administration is specifically targeting Florida and Texas for allowing the principles of constitutional freedom to guide their COVID mitigation efforts. Over the past two days the White House in general, and Joe Biden specifically, has been targeting Governor Ron DeSantis and Governor Greg Abbott.
During a press conference today, in South Florida on environmental issues, Governor DeSantis delivered remarks about his response to a recent surge in COVID positive testing, while recommitting to keeping Florida a free and open state. As DeSantis notes, the federal mitigation efforts have failed on multiple fronts to stem COVID-19 while simultaneously punishing people; he will not participate in any intervention that provides no benefit and has no basis in science. Video below prompted to the COVID discussion:
The attacks against Florida and Texas will not diminish as long as the Biden administration need to weaponize COVID fear for their political purposes. Texas and Florida remaining free, fearless and functioning is against the interests of the White House.
As Barack Obama’s campaign manager and lead political advisor David Plouffe admitted recently, Democrats need massive mail-in ballots and fraud again if they are going to avoid getting wiped out in the 2022 election. COVID fear is the vehicle to get those priorities in place. It really is that simple.
Show Your Papers, New York City Announces Vaccination Passport Needed to Eat at Restaurants or Engage in Private Businesses

…”All your freedoms are belong to us.”
Comrade rebels, effective September 13th, anyone living or visiting New York City who has not been vaccinated will be blocked from entering any private venue, restaurant or indoor facility. Businesses will be required to operate security checkpoints, where people without proof of vaccinated status will be denied entry.
Your engagement with the system of commerce will now be controlled by the New York Ministry of COVID Compliance.
[New York] … “It’s time for people to see vaccination as necessary to living a good and full and healthy life,” de Blasio said during his daily press briefing.
“This is crucial, because we know that this will encourage a lot more vaccination.”
The program, which de Blasio dubbed the “Key to NYC Pass,” makes New York the first major US city to create such a mandate, and marks a significant escalation of the city’s efforts to curb the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant. The initiative will launch on Aug. 16, the mayor said.
“It will require vaccination for workers and customers in indoor dining, in indoor fitness facilities, indoor entertainment facilities,” he said from City Hall. “The only way to patronize these businesses indoors is if you’re vaccinated.” “If you want to participate in society fully, you’ve got to get vaccinated,” de Blasio added.

WATCH:
It will be interesting to see how this is enforced. It will also be interesting to see if underground networks of rebellious residents will establish a secondary economic system for the non-vaccinated who defy the regime.
CTH has said since the original communist network of Barack Obama was created in Chicago, that if they were successful in fully executing their plan, a fundamental fracturing of society would take place. A few years later, as we watch the successful seeding of the revolutionary communists around Obama, we warned CTH readers to think carefully about where you live because the cleaving along ideological lines was ultimately going to happen.
The prediction we made upon the launch of The Last Refuge was specifically based on accepting the reality that if the Obama network was successful, there would have to be a natural fracturing of society. The division and fragmentation away from the communal mindset was a predictable outcome.
Many American people, perhaps barely the majority, will not acquiesce to losing freedom and living under totalitarian rule. That is why the Obama network wanted to import millions of people who are in alignment with full socialist and governmental control over their lives.
The resistance will live on…. it always does. But, at a certain point it becomes necessary to move your physical body away from a place where you are under control, and set up your homestead in a place where freedom is still permitted.
That is why we said in 2011, “WHERE WILL YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE“? We knew this was coming. Choose wisely….

The Real COVID Agenda Nobody Will Expose
Armstrong Economics Blog/WEF Re-Posted Aug 3, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
In Germany, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) wanted another lockdown to push forward the agenda of the Great Reset. A secret paper of the controversial RKI boss Lothar Wieler was leaked, which was pushing an agenda to lock down the country again, disguising the true goals, which had nothing to do with health. From the municipality level of government in Germany, the chief executive of the association of towns and municipalities, Gerd Landsberg, is warning the federal and state governments that another corona lockdown would be devastating for the people and also for the economy. Many citizens would hardly accept such a measure, he warned, and this will unfold as greater civil unrest. At the municipal level, they see that the course of the disease is far less serious than the risk of civil unrest. The lockdowns are destroying the younger people who are not impacted by COVID.
Klaus Schwab, the notorious chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), said in an interview with “Euronews ” on November 19, 2020: “I think the word ‘reset’ is appropriate because we are still fighting the virus, but now after the announcement of vaccines can be quite optimistic. We now have to think about how we structure the post-corona era, how we shape it. And then, of course, the word ‘reset’ comes to mind because one thing is clear, we cannot go back to the old normal. We need to take this opportunity, as our parents and grandparents did after World War II, to really think about what went wrong and what we can do better. ”
Schwab has control of the elite in Europe, and he controls the head of the EU, IMF, and ECB. He has his tentacles deep into the highest levels of Europe, including the Netherlands. He has been using the COVID to deliberately destroy the economy for his Great Reset.
The IMF is preaching the very same agenda to the rest of the world governments, thanks to Schwab. He has explained we need the same Great Rest as we saw with Bretton Woods at the end of World War II, and this is the same coming from the IMF. Connecting these dots is immediately called a conspiracy theory. It is becoming a phrase that is used whenever the truth starts to poke through the lies.
John Kerry is Schwab’s man in the White House. He is actually acting as a foreign agent who should be arrested for treason. The Democrats were prosecuting any Trump associate who had any contacts with Ukraine. Yet, here we have Kerry carrying out the same agenda created at the World Economic Forum that expressly states its goal is to take the power of the United States and hand it to the United Nations. In fact, that is one of the 8 points for the 2030 agenda of the WEF — the USA will no longer be a super-power. That is in your face, TREASON!
Kerry has also stated the very same agenda. There will be no returning to normal because that was broken. Any news organization that does not expose this is complicit in this entire agenda.
Employers Will be Responsible for Mandatory Vaccine Reactions
Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Aug 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
A number of people have written in about their employer saying get vaccinated or you are fired. I suggest that a lawyer send a letter stating that these vaccines are experimental
Moderna did it in 2 days. Therefore, your employer will be responsible for any side effects or serious illness ONLY if they MANDATE rather than suggest or encourage.
You cannot sue the politicians and you cannot sue the drug companies. Gates does not have immunity nor will your employer. Many will not take you back if you have been injured and end up on workman’s comp. So there are real issues here. Others realize they will be responsible for the vaccines are still experimental. Some employers realize there is a problem because they are not actually approved.
An employer-mandated vaccine is considered a part of work. So under most state laws, an adverse reaction would be covered by workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation has been the employee’s recourse in the past for other employer-required vaccinations. It is unlikely that courts would change that precedent.
Be very careful. If your employer merely encourages you to get the vaccine, you will NOT be covered under workman’s comp. Your employer will acquire liability ONLY if they mandate you get the vaccine. Your employer will most likely claim no responsibility because they did not actually vaccinate you. This is why a MANDATE is essential.
Pay close attention to the words. “Encouragement“ is different from a “Mandate“.
Judge Andrew Napolitano Fired by Fox News Following Sexual Harassment Claims by Young Male Staff
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 2, 2021 | Sundance | 68 Comments
Perhaps this explains the weird behavior by Napolitano during Spygate. Initially, the Fox News analyst recognized the issues of the Obama FBI and intelligence apparatus spying on their political opposition. Then suddenly, Napolitano appeared to do an about face despite mounting evidence that highlighted the spying issue as accurate.
A lawsuit was filed [pdf available here] claiming that Judge Napolitano was sexually harassing young men at Fox News. The news group did an internal investigation and fired Napolitano, which seems to indicate the harassment claims were grounded in fact. It makes you wonder if sketchy Napolitano was under the cloud of blackmail for his sexual improprieties?
(Variety) – Judge Andrew Napolitano, a legal contributor for Fox News, is no longer employed by the network following allegations of sexual harassment.
In a complaint filed on Monday, a 27-year-old Fox News associate producer alleged that Napolitano has “sexually harassed numerous young male employees during his tenure at Fox News.” The plaintiff, whose name is John Fawcett, claims that he reported Napolitano’s misconduct to Fox News’ human resources department but they did not take any immediate action against him.
In a statement to Variety, Fox News said that upon learning of the allegations, the network “immediately investigated the claims and addressed the matter with both parties.” Napolitano has not appeared on air at Fox News for several months. (read more)
I guess if we wait a little while longer we might find out, a similar pathway amid the career of Fox New’s two human cabbage patch dolls: Brett Baier and Neil Cavuto.
