COVID Swab Test DNA Samples for Sale


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Cignpost Diagnostics, a UK-based COVID testing company, has likely sold swab samples containing customers’ DNA. The company claimed it had the right to sell data to third parties in an effort to “learn more about human health.” However, the consent form is buried among the lengthy testing information sheet, and the company primarily sells tests on the go to travelers looking for rapid results. Cignpost Diagnostics admitted in the fine print that they “may receive compensation” for selling customers’ DNA to “collaborators.”

UK law explicitly demands the protection of private data, and angry customers are claiming the company did not clearly notify users that their sensitive DNA would be sold for a profit to conduct unknown research. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Human Tissue Authority are now investigating. “There is no personal data more sensitive than our DNA. People should be told about what’s happening to it in a clear, open, and honest way so they can make informed decisions about whether they want to give it up,” ICO deputy commissioner Steve Wood said.

Cignpost Diagnostics knows they are in the wrong and has begun to backtrack on their policy. A spokesperson for the company recently claimed all swab samples are destroyed after the client has been notified of their results. Why would the company then claim to have “collaborators” and a plan to profit off of the DNA they have compiled? Three million tests have already been distributed. It is unclear if the company actually destroyed the swab samples, as they only claimed to have done so after coming under fire.

Another Win – Virginia Shipbuilder With Federal Contracts Reverses Position on Vaccine Mandate, Recalls Employees and Gives Options to Nullify Resignations

Newport News shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls reverses their position on the vaccine mandate and claims they misinterpreted the federal requirement. After further consultations with the federal government, the shipbuilder now says the vaccine mandate doesn’t apply.  “This recent information is different from what we understood to be the government’s and the Navy’s intent,” the company said.

Huntington Ingalls previously said all of its 25,000 workers would need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as a “condition of continued employment” due to the vaccine mandate for federal workers and contractors. [Media Link] However, Newport News Shipbuilding President Jennifer Boykin said in a Facebook update Thursday that Huntington Ingalls clarified their Navy contracts “don’t include a vaccine mandate at this time.”

[Via Facebook]  President and CEO Mike Petters issued a message to employees Nov. 16 indicating that the government’s Jan. 4, 2022, deadline for vaccination is suspended. The message also clarified that after considerable work with the Navy to meet the intent of the mandate, our Navy contracts with Newport News Shipbuilding do not include a vaccine mandate requirement at this time.This recent information is different from what we understood to be the government’s and the Navy’s intent. As a result of what we know today, some of the related mandate policies and processes will now change. Because employee safety continues to be our top priority, other COVID-related policies will not change.Here’s what is changing:• COVID-19 vaccination is not required as a condition of employment for current or leased employees.• Employees who applied for a religious or medical exemption will be contacted in writing with additional clarification.• Shipbuilders who opted to submit for retirement or to resign as a result of the federal mandate have the option to request reversal of their decision.– For those who have started the retirement process, please contact the HII Benefits Center for more information.– For employees who notified management or Human Resources of plans to resign, please talk with your immediate supervisor if your plans change. Supervisors should contact their Human Resources business partner for guidance.• Offsite employees will be required to follow the guidance provided by the work location.• Subcontractors do not need to be fully vaccinated.

Viral Goalposts Shifting – Scientists, Facing Scrutiny About Vaccinations Not Stopping Virus, Announce Discovery of New Vaccine Resistant Strain of Virus


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 224 Comments

As more data revels less benefit to vaccination status; and additional data reveals vaccinated individuals are becoming the group with the most adverse health outcomes; the scientific and medical community -writ large- are facing increased scrutiny to justify the public benefit of a seemingly endless booster approach with little upside.

In essence, what good are all these vaccinations; and specifically all the rules of proving your vaccinated status vis-a-vis passports; if the vaccinated can still be infected and spread the virus?   The voices asking this question are growing more loud by the day.  Then, all of a sudden….

[STORY LINK]

Isn’t that convenient?  A new variant that tamps down the issue of questioning science about why the vaccine doesn’t seem to work.  It appears the COVID science always has a way to explain why the COVID science may not work.

SKY NEWS – Scientists have raised concerns about a new variant of coronavirus that has an “extremely high number” of mutations that vaccines may not protect the human body against.

The B.1.1.529 variant was first detected in Botswana, Africa in November with subsequent infections confirmed through genome sequencing in South Africa and in a traveller from Hong Kong after returning from the Rainbow Nation.

Only ten cases have been reported across the world but health experts believe it could have spread further than three countries as nations ease COVID-19 restrictions and restart international travel. 

The latest variant has 32 spike mutations in the spike protein, the part of the virus that most vaccines use to boost the immune systems against the highly infectious disease.

Mutations in spike protein can affect the virus’ ability to infect cells within the body and spread but also makes it difficult for immune cells to attack the pathogen. The worrying number of mutations mean it could evade immunity.  (read more)

Not to worry, I’m confident a few more scientific lockdowns, distance rules, masks, travel restrictions, compliance checks and booster shots will be able to overcome it.  After all, it would be terrible if those COVID quarantine camps were built and then not used.

James O’Keefe Provides Update on Project Veritas Case Against New York Times


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 26 Comments

[NEW YORK – Nov. 23, 2021] Project Veritas released a new video today refuting The New York Times’ legally flawed claim that the New York State Supreme Court acted in an “unconstitutional” way when it ruled that The Times must temporarily stop publishing Veritas’ attorney-client privileged communications with the attorneys representing Veritas in the defamation case, and further ordered The Times to explain the reasoning behind why they did so in an article earlier this month.

Veritas is currently suing The Times for defamation after they libelously labeled a September 2020 video exposing ballot harvesting in Minnesota as “deceptive.” The lawsuit was filed over a year ago. (read more)

Big Three U.S. Automakers Agree to Not Mandate Vaccines for UAW Union Members


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 74 Comments

A big win for medical privacy and the principles of freedom.  Ford, General Motors and Stellantis have agreed the United Auto Workers union members will not be forced to take the mandatory vaccine as a condition of employment.  [UAW Announcement] Additionally, the vaccine status of the workers will remain private with a policy of private and voluntary disclosure.

UAW – At a meeting Monday evening, the COVID-19 Joint Task Force, comprised of the UAW, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, has aligned on a policy of voluntary and confidential disclosure of vaccination status for UAW members. Each company will provide additional communication to employees on how, where and when to report their vaccination status.

In addition to encouraging members to disclose their vaccination status, the Task Force continues to urge all members, coworkers, and their families to get vaccinated and get booster vaccinations against COVID-19, while understanding that there are personal reasons that may prevent some members from being vaccinated, such as health issues or religious beliefs.

After reviewing the status of CDC and OSHA guidelines, the Task Force also decided it is in the best interest of worker safety to continue masks in all worksites at this time. (read more)

This helps swing the pendulum back toward the American worker.

Fox News Legal Pundit Johnathan Turley Makes False Comparison Between Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 70 Comments

CTH doesn’t do direct refutation unless the issues are very important.    Earlier today, immediately following the jury conviction of three men in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a longtime Fox News legal analyst named Johnathan Turley made a claim of fact that must be refuted.  My apologies for the delay here.

I do not have video citation, but watched in real time as it happened.  Attorney and Law School Professor Johnathan Turley appeared on Fox News to discuss the jury verdict in the Arbery case.

During his appearance, Professor Turley stated the difference between Ahmaud Arbery’s death and the death of Trayvon Martin was video evidence.

Turley compared the Arbery case to the Trayvon case by saying there were no eyewitnesses for either events, but the difference in the Arbery case there was video.

The explicit and intended implication was that if video evidence existed in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, there’s a possibility George Zimmerman would have been convicted, or in the words of Turley, “there would have been a different outcome in that case.”   Everything about this claim by Turley is FALSE.

Turley’s viewpoint for the Arbery case discussion is not only wrong, it dangerously presents a possibility that is entirely fictitious.

THERE WAS a direct eye witness in the fight between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.  Direct eye witness Jonathan Good testified during the Zimmerman trial to witnessing the fight from his window in the condo unit next to the confrontation [LINK].  John Good testified in court to seeing Trayvon on top of Zimmerman and raining down blows MMA style, “ground and pound“, while Zimmerman was “shouting for help“, just before the fatal shot was fired.

John Good (pictured below right) originally gave the same statement to the police on the night of the incident, and all of the forensic evidence supported the description of the events as told during Good’s statement and court appearance.  Mr. Good’s first hand eyewitness account, and all of the subsequent physical evidence in the case – which included recordings of 911 phone calls which documented the sound of the fight, was the primary reason why detectives in the case and the local district attorney in Orlando did not file charges against George Zimmerman after the shooting.

All of the evidence in the case supported traditional self defense.  Ignored by most, and falsely reported by national media, George Zimmerman did not use a “stand your ground” defense, because traditional self-defense was evident in the facts of the case.  The “duty to retreat” was never debated in court or even by prosecutors, because Zimmerman had no opportunity to retreat from a physical confrontation he did not initiate.

The media’s false reporting in the Zimmerman case was jaw-dropping, and all these years later – thanks to the fabrications by people like Johnathan Turley – most of the public still have no idea what factually took place in the encounter between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.

Perhaps Turley does not know about the police statements and direct courtroom testimony by eyewitness John Good, because what he said did not match the false media narrative that was built in the aftermath.   The media ignored the evidence, and their complicit alignment with a prosecution narrative actually provided room for state special prosecutors Angela Corey and Bernie De La Rionda to carry out another egregious miscarriage of justice.  They completely fabricated a pro-prosecution witness named Rachel Jeantel {Go Deep}.

John Good was an inconvenient witness that destroyed the media narrative about the confrontation between Trayvon and Zimmerman; so the media ignored it.  Additionally, the officials in/around Sanford and Orlando Florida kept the spotlight away from John Good because there was a genuine worry that he would be targeted by the mob that was stirred up by the false racist narrative.

Essentially John Good was in hiding until he could give his first-hand eyewitness account in court.  Those facts are likely why Professor Johnathan Turley doesn’t know about the eyewitness; however, in the larger picture, what does that reality say about the media?

CTH came to the defense of George Zimmerman, because we were defending the truth.  Not the manipulated truth, and not any version of any individual truth; but the literal and empirical truth that undermined the myriad of lies around the Zimmerman case.   The lies were so thick in the case against Zimmerman, the state prosecution even believed it would be possible to successfully create witness #8 out of nothing and get away with it.

Witness #8, Rachel Jeantel, appeared at the trial and gave testimony; unfortunately for the prosecution, she could not answer most questions because she never saw, heard, or had anything to do with the events.   Jeantel was handed to the prosecution by the lawyers and family of Trayvon Martin.  Jeantel signed a statement for the prosecution that she did not write and couldn’t even read.

Jeantel was needed because lawyers for Trayvon Martin’s family claimed publicly a girl was on the phone with Trayvon when the encounter with Zimmerman took place.  Everything about that claim was a lie.  However, worse still, the state prosecution was willing to go along with the lie because the falsehood became the central point of their case.

As a consequence, Rachel Jeantel was a completely made up witness by the Florida state prosecution in the highest profile legal case in the past decade…. and no one was ever held accountable for that.

Let that TRUTH sink in a while…

I hope everyone can see how dangerous this stuff is…

Schumer’s Dilemma


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Chuck Schumer is up for re-election in 2022. When the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court took place, New York Progressives who are out to change America into the next Marxist-Wonderland, warned Schumer to “step up to the plate” and publicly support stuffing the Supreme Court with progressives who would rule against the Constitution in the manner that they want. They threatened Schumer that if he did not comply with their demands, then he will face a tough fight to keep his Senate seat when he is up for re-election in 2022.

The threat came in a very strongly-worded letter to Schumer signed by a coalition of 22 progressive New York City and state officials. The letter demanded that Schumer counter a number of “right-wing ideologues” on the country’s Supreme Court, which is described as not being an impartial arbiter of whether policies enacted by branches of government were in keeping with the US Constitution and US. laws. Biden’s pick for the top bank regulator is an outright Communist and against banking. Saule Omarova, a law professor at Cornell Law School, is probably the most anti-capitalist person who was educated in Russia and nostalgic for communism. Indeed, in her Senate hearing, some asked if they should call her comrade or professor. Either way, she has no experience in the real world of banking. She is just another academic with theories to experiment on society.

Schumer is up for re-election in 2022 and the Democratic Party is being torn apart. This Build Back Better spending bill is the single largest spending bill as a percentage of the national debt in the entire history of the nation. It has nothing to do with stimulating the economy. About one-third is all about the environment; shutting down fossils fuels is the main goal decades before there is any replacement. Forget just heating people’s homes, they are out to end commuting to work, eliminating office buildings, and shut down fossil fuels now even before a theory of alternative energy could ever replace everything in 20 years. The real objective seems to be reducing the population, for that is the ONLY way to ever achieve their unrealistic goals.

Looking at Schumer’s career, 2022 is the peak. Even if he is re-elected, there will be a decline between 2022 and 2026. So either the Democrats lose the Senate in 2022, or Schumer loses the election. Either way, his political career is peaking out in 2022. The vast majority of Americans are NOT progressives willing to surrender everything and overturn the Constitution.

Already 70% of Americans feel that the Democrats are taking the country in the wrong direction. Biden will never run in 2024, and the progressives do not care about the polls of the Democrats. They are forcing their agenda through come hell or high water, as they say. They just got the Democrats to pass the Build Back Better bill in the House. This is the takeover of the United States and the imposition of raw tyranny to create this new world of the Great Reset.

They Said Vaccines Were Safe For Pregnant Women, Now This Happens

Something troubling is happening in Scotland.  At least 21 babies under four weeks old died in September, a rate of 4.9 per 1,000 births.  The former average was 2.1 deaths per 1,000 births.  The nationalized health service tracks records, because everyone is on the same system; that’s why when an internal alarm is triggered by the data as it rolls in, they stop and look immediately.  Public Health Scotland says:

“Exceeding the upper control limit indicates there is a higher likelihood that there are factors beyond random variation that may have contributed to the number of deaths.”

REPORT: Nancy Pelosi Joining The Pro DeSantis Migration and Purchasing a Home in The Free State of Florida


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 23, 2021 | Sundance | 278 Comments

For the past few weeks, rumors have been swirling about Nancy Pelosi traveling to the free state of Florida to view property for another home [link].   Everyone knows if Democrats get crushed in the 2022 mid-terms, she will exit congress faster than a fat kid playing dodge ball.  Pelosi was spotted on the same flight as Marjorie Taylor Greene [link], and then spotted again looking at a specific $25 million beach estate [link].

Obviously, it would be a little hypocritical for Speaker Pelosi to politically rail against the policies of Governor Ron DeSantis and yet support those policies with a physical move to the state.  However, that said, Democrats -particularly those in political leadership- are notorious for double standards.

John Cardillo indicates Speaker Pelosi has purchased this specific home on Jupiter Island:

There’s a lot of speculation, and not any specific evidence to support the claims.   Here is a LINK to the listing, which does show the home has recently changed to “pending” status.   The home sold in 2015 for $15 million and was then put up for sale again this year in May for $25 million.  That gives you an idea how rapid the home values in Florida have risen in the past few years.

If Pelosi has purchased that house, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will have a fun talking point in his reelection campaign; especially because the official Democrat funding mechanisms (Democrat Governors Association) have admitted it would be futile to try and defeat DeSantis – they ain’t wasting money trying.

It is a beautiful property.  However, obviously Pelosi -like Obama- is not worried about climate change.

Sunday Talks, Fauci Confronted With Reality That More People Dying From COVID This Year Despite Highly Vaccinated Population


Posted originally on the Conservative tree house on November 21, 2021 | Sundance | 260 Comments

Dr. Anthony Fauci appears on ABC News to discuss the new definitions of “fully vaccinated“, which now includes the need to receive booster shots.  However, one big issue that stands as a common sense counter argument to the efficacy of vaccines is the number of people dying with/from COVID-19 infections is now higher than it was before the vaccination program began.

Fauci ducks, dodges and weaves around the issue by claiming the Delta variant is more dangerous than the original SARS-CoV-2 infection.  However, scientists still debate whether the mRNA vaccine created the Delta variant.

Regardless, the baseline fact is that more people are presumably dying now with/from the virus -while the vaccine is in place- than were dying with/from the virus before the vaccine was introduced.  Meanwhile, the Fauci, CDC, NIH solution is to vaccinate more…  vaccinate harder… vaccine boosters for everyone.  The political science is committed to the vaccine approach.
