Education Creating Decivilization


Armstrong Economics Blog/Education Re-Posted Mar 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

While those supporting the Great Reset are all about preventing any movement that requires people to drive with fossil-fueled vehicles, they are deliberately ignoring the social cost to children. The Washington Post, which is so left they would fail a sobriety test unable to walk a straight line, wrote: “A year later, a rethinking is underway, with a growing sense that some changes may last.”

While the grade-school level of under 13 is less stressed about virtual school, they are at risk of losing social skills. However, what makes a civilization function is the very fact that people come together. Divide them to work and live in isolation, you also risk losing the very essence of humanity. I can personally say working in a trading room was ALWAYS better than in isolation. Besides the comradery, there was always a synergy that emerged that was greater than the sum of the individuals.

There has been a surge in student suicides nationwide. I was walking the beach and was talking to a man standing there while his two teenage boys were paddleboarding. He asked if I was a native Floridian. I laughed and said I think I have only met one such person. We are all transplants from other states. He then told me he left New York and moved here because his two boys were so depressed he feared that they were becoming suicidal. To teenagers, sports maybe everything from scholarships or dreams of becoming the next famous sports jock. He said he moved here to save the mental health of his children.

I have to say, he is not the first parent to tell me the same thing. This “save the planet” push to use COVID as an excuse to change society is very serious. These people are fixated on a single objective and are ignoring everything else. Economists do not help when all they want to talk about is socialism, fairness, and equality. Anyone daring to question lockdowns suffers a huge backlash despite the fact that lockdowns have failed to prove effective and have never before been is in 6,000 years of recorded history.

The Guardian has put out the truth, perhaps ahead of schedule. There are those pushing for lockdowns every two years to meet the Paris requirement of zero CO2. Everyone’s future is to change and they never once allowed anyone to ever vote on this agenda nor have they been honest about what the agenda entails.

The virtual school has the danger of creating the exact opposite of the reason that builds civilization. Empires rise with global warming and decline with global cooling when people become more isolated. Welcome to the future these people are creating all to stop climate change which is a normal cycle since the climate has always changed.

There are Shara cave paintings that show what is a desert today was once lush and filled with animals. I suppose there must be time travel where a bunch of people took their SUVs back in time and changed the climate then as well.

Mitch McConnell Prepares For Democrats, Actually the UniParty, to Eliminate The Senate’s Legislative Filibuster


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 16, 2021 | Sundance | 73 Comments

Mitch McConnell gave an anticipated speech in the Senate today positioning himself against the end of the Senate filibuster.  Unfortunately for those who understand how McConnell operates, methinks he doth protest too much. 

Let me be perfectly clear… every word in those prepared remarks was/is an act.  This is what Mitch McConnell does.  CTH has pointed out for several months how McConnell is personally preparing for the end of the filibuster.  [Here and Here] He knows it will likely end, because he has seeded the framework for the end of the process.  What McConnell is doing now is pure positioning.

The number of McConnell’s specific DeceptiCon caucus no longer running for re-election is a key indicator the McConnell crew know the filibuster is about to end.  They are all pre-positioning for that result.   Do not think it will not happen, because the odds are the filibuster is about to end.

“Senators Richard Burr (NC), Ron Johnson (WI), Pat Toomey (PA), Rob Portman (OH), and Richard Shelby all previously stated they were not going to seek reelection; Senator Roy Blunt made the same announcement.”

This is not a surprise. McConnell is fully exposed now; people can finally see through his schemes and understand his motives and maneuvers.

As we noted following the election, the business model of selling votes is no longer as lucrative. McConnell and Harry Reid created and then held the UniParty power system as a system for affluence and influence. However, McConnell’s signature legacy item will be his role in eliminating the filibuster and turning the senate into a simple majority system.

In order to give the appearance of his opposition to this move, despite his years of working earnestly toward it, McConnell will exit very soon after the filibuster is eliminated. He will then blame the elimination of the filibuster as the excuse for his departure. This is the Machiavellian way he operates.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Top Democrats, including the two highest-ranking party members in the Senate, have stepped up rhetoric in recent days about the future of the filibuster, a parliamentary custom that requires support from 60 of the chamber’s 100 members to pass most legislation.

The filibuster has long been seen as a mechanism requiring bipartisan consensus that distinguishes the Senate from the House of Representatives, where only a simple majority is needed on legislation. With the current Senate split 50-50, Democrats have said they may need to do away with the filibuster to pass Biden’s priorities, including a House-approved bill intended to facilitate voting in elections.

“This chaos would not open up an express lane to liberal change. It would not open up an express lane for the Biden presidency to speed into the history books. The Senate would be more like a 100-car pileup. Nothing moving,” McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said on the Senate floor.

“Nobody serving in this chamber can even begin … to imagine what a completely scorched-earth Senate would look like,” he added, saying Republicans would require votes on all parliamentary moves, drastically slowing the pace of business. (read more)

Joe Biden – When the Press was Real


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Mar 16, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden is still at it with plagiarism. He keeps claiming this is his plan that he claims he named “Build Back Better,” when this was created at the World Economic Forum at least in 2019 before the virus hit.

Democracy Dies in Hidden Retractions, Purposefully Constructed By Washington Post to Push a Political Agenda


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 15, 2021 | Sundance | 192 Comments

The Georgia Secretary of State recorded President Trump, then lied about the content of the call, then attempted to delete the recording (found during FOIA search), which led to the Washington Post issuing the following

Keep in mind the institutions of our intensely political bureaucracy have preferred media outlets to construct their narratives.  The State Department use CNN.  The FBI use The New York Times; and the CIA use The Washington Post.

The media misattributed quotes?   Think about that.  They tried to impeach President Trump based on misattributed quotes.

The only reason the correction was made is because the recording was released.

Will the Democrats Indict Trump?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Mar 15, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen is a classic example of why someone like him will do anything to save his skin. The indictment process is a joke. The prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. There is no defense allowed and whatever he tells the grand jury is secret. Indictments really do not mean a lot. They will typically be vague enough to ensure the defendant does not really know what the issue is. Cohen has met with the prosecutors 7 times. That is an indication that they are moving to try to indict Trump for a political agenda.

In one of the Mafia cases in New York, one of the defendants subpoenaed his own phone recordings and the prison produced the recordings of the guy who was going to testify against him. There was the same prosecutor telling the witness he needed him to testify in another case against someone else. He told the prosecutor he did not know that person. On the tape, the prosecutor told him “Don’t worry. By the time I am finished, you will know him as your brother.”

The defendant took it to I believe it was Judge Kaplan who refused to consider it and said that was in another case. This is how corrupt the legal system is. There is no justice. New York State Chief Judge Sol Wachtler was famously quoted by Tom Wolfe in The Bonfire of the Vanities that “a grand jury would ‘indict a ham sandwich,’ if that’s what you wanted.”

The bottom line is that the Democrats are working overtime to indict Trump. This is all about trying to stop him in 2024. Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. (D) is pursuing a wide-ranging investigation into Trump’s family business and finances to desperately bring him down for political purposes. His probe is looking into several aspects of Trump’s finances and businesses focusing in particular on his Seven Springs estate in New York. Previous reports have indicated that Vance is looking to find out if the value of the property was inflated in order to reap greater benefits from financial institutions.

Vance is looking to make a big show out of Trump and can’t wait to have him arrested. That would then involve even an extradition charge with Florida who would then review his indictment to see if there is any real validity to it. So this could turn into a real shit-show and Trump better never travel to New York City.

Interestingly, Governor Cuomo was looking to divert money Vance has been pouring out of every crack to indict Trump. There are new discovery requirements in New York that will need $2 million to be provided to prosecutors statewide. Criminal discovery law reforms, which took effect on Jan. 1, require prosecutors to turn over evidence to defendants within 15 days after arraignment and limit cash bail for most non-violent offenses. This was all in response to criticisms that the state has not provided enough money to help district attorneys comply with the new requirements and they have been denying defendants the right to defend.

The Report of Meghan Markle “Preparing a Bid To Become President” is BURYING THE LEDE


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 13, 2021 | Sundance | 90 Comments

By now several people have reviewed a Daily Mail article based around a premise, a media hook, that Meghan Markle might be “preparing a bid to become president” and that’s why she did the Oprah Winfrey interview.   If you focused on that media hook, you likely missed the lede.

Media stories often contain the fingerprints of motive, a slight truth hidden in a background of obfuscation, and you can find the leftist activity if you know what to look for.  The buried lede in the story is this short segment:

[…] “One senior Labour figure – a veteran of Tony Blair’s Downing Street administration with strong links to Washington – claimed to The Mail on Sunday that Ms Markle, 39, was networking among senior Democrats“… (read more)

There it is: “networking among senior Democrats.”  That’s the data point to focus on.

That’s the part of the story that tells us exactly what was going on in that Oprah interview; and it is exactly what we suspected it was HERE and HERE.

Of course she was “networking” with “senior Democrats”, specifically she was networking with Obama’s Chicago crew; and that leads to Oprah, Obama’s biggest narrative engineer.

The Markle interview was purposefully orchestrated, racism claims intentionally injected, recorded, and then timed to be released/broadcast the day before the trial against Derek Chauvin while the George Floyd protestors were activated.  This is how the Obama crew operate.  This is how the leftists work.  None of this is accidental and that statement by the “senior Labour figure” is 100% correct…. except for the cover story to hide the motive.

As we shared last week:

“People who have watched the way the Obama team use pop culture to advance Marxist political objectives have already seen through the ruse of the Meghan Markle comments with Oprah Winfrey. It was not accidental the interview comments about racism were organized, timed and released to coincide with the George Floyd trial in Minnesota. It’s how the cultural Marxists work.

If any group of people can see through to the orchestration of this, it is you, the CTH community. We have researched the Obama use of racism as a political tool for years; that technique includes using media figures like Oprah. The Chicago fingerprints of the familiar architects are clear as day on this ridiculous story.”

“Considering the Oprah angle; and considering Oprah is one of the primary conduits, advance agents and protectors of all things related to President Obama; it would not be surprising to discover that Obama’s team of Chicago provocateurs are in the close-background of the Markle network. Useful division based on advancement of racist accusations is a classic Maoist approach to achieve modern Marxist outcomes.”

Well, there you have it. Today we discover that prior to the interview: “Ms Markle, 39, was networking among senior Democrats.

Any questions?

Explosive Statement – Attorney Sidney Powell Alleges Kelly Loeffler Staffer, Harrison Deal, Was Murdered


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 13, 2021 | Sundance | 139 Comments

On Friday December 4, 2020, a 20-year-old campaign worker for Senator Kelly Loeffler named Harrison Deal was killed in a fiery three car crash on Interstate 16.  On Thursday night March 11th, during an explosive interview carried on BEK TV with Doug Billings, Attorney Sidney Powell alleges the crash was not an accident.

When responding to questions about why Bill Barr let us down and did not pursue legal cases/investigations about election fraud Ms. Powell responded: “frankly I think it is something much darker than that”, and then comes the bombshell:

“I do have knowledge of other people being threatened and horribly intimidated by threats and extortion, and even the murder of Kelly Loeffler’s young staffer in Georgia. That was no car accident he was vaporized by whatever the explosion was.  Some people who know more about it than I do tell me it had to have been thermite to have triggered such a fireball such as happened in that car.”

WATCH:

This is a stunning allegation from Ms. Powell who goes on to outline some of the current standing issues with the investigations into the election.  From the overall interview it appears Sidney Powell is optimistic about ballot fraud eventually being exposed in the 2020 election.  A remarkable interview.

Is It Time for Red States To Start Using Their Power to Nullify Federal Law?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 13, 2021 | Sundance | 343 Comments

My personal opinion is yes, it is far beyond time.  Factually, I have supported a total 50 state nullification process since 2005 when I realized Wall Street was in full operational control over Washington DC.  Once you accept that Globalists are writing U.S. legislation and laws; and once you accept they are paying DC politicians for the passage of those laws; then they are supporting politicians who will advance those laws by changing the judicial branch; then you begin to follow events to their logical conclusion, and the necessary cleaving of a freedom loving electorate becomes clear.

When you consider that Blue States and regions have been nullifying federal laws for decades (marijuana legalization, sanctuary cities, immigration policies, etc), the question arises about whether it is indeed time to complete the cleaving and for Red States to begin the same nullification process.

Ultimately and thankfully due to the wisdom of our founding fathers, this fail-safe approach is outlined within the constitution and applied through the tenth amendment.

Today, Steve Baldwin at American Thinker makes the argument the time is now for Red States to begin nullifying federal law by simply refusing to abide by the unconstitutional dictates of the federal government. [READ HERE]  From my own perspective, in the final analysis, the constitutional nullification process has always been a source of hope and optimism.

We are a divided nation.  Accept the division and act accordingly…. because we either ACT or we will be ACTED upon.

AMERICAN THINKER – […] states will be reluctant to invoke nullification but the alternative would be to watch our constitutional rights be trashed by leftists.  The MAGA movement in the Red States needs to became active in urging legislators and governors to start reclaiming their constitutional powers and begin nullifying illegal Federal law.  

Once states are engaged in nullifying federal laws, I believe we will witness what I call the “great migration” in which conservatives will leave blue states to live in red states and vice-versa.  And yes, this could lead to a peaceful balkanization of America in which the Red states become redder and the Blue states become bluer, but this is not our fault.

Joe Dan Gorman has done another outstanding job putting this production together.  The entertainment is excellent, the music is awesome and the message is critically important.  [Visit Website Here]

In addition to the parallels to the tyranny of 1776— you need only look back to 2008-2010 to see near identical tactics and narratives (voter fraud, racism everywhere, open borders, pandemic planning, government over-reach)…  not only by the left… but more importantly the duplicitous GOP.  The only difference—is the left is louder and more aggressive, the destructive issues are the same.”
