Quiet Skies Program – Conservatives Treated as Terrorists by TSA


Posted Sep 11, 2024 by Martin Armstrong

Former state congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard shared a recent experience where she and her husband were harassed by airport security while traveling. “I was subjected by very in-depth screening when I travel. By in-depth I mean 30 to 45 minutes of going through that screening every time I would go to the airport to fly,” Gabbard reported. She noticed that her boarding passes were labeled with “SSSS” indicating that she had been added to a terrorist watchlist under the Quiet Skies program.

The TSA claims the Quiet Skies program is not “a program through which Federal Air Marshals surveil random travelers for no rhyme or reason.” So why was this Conservative politician who is strongly backing Donald Trump in his re-election campaign added to the watchlist? “If your local police department had intelligence that your neighborhood was at an elevated threat for dangerous activity, you’d want an increased police presence until the threat was gone. Federal Air Marshals serve in that same capacity in the aviation environment; they are law enforcement officers who use their experience and training to identify things that are out of the ordinary in the aviation environment,” the TSA noted on its website. ““Quiet Skies” is another tool that allows the Federal Air Marshal Service to more efficiently deploy law enforcement resources to focus on travelers who may present an elevated risk to aviation security.”

Customs TSA

Tulsi Gabbard has no criminal record and there is no reason to believe she is a threat to national security, unless you have bought into Trump derangement syndrome and believe, as the president said, that MAGA conservatives are the biggest threat to domestic security. The TSA states that they do not use race or religion to identify potential threats but their website makes no mention of political affiliation. Washington has effectively turned the TSA into their personal strong arm to prevent disinters from freely traveling.

Gabbard uncoincidentally delivered a message during a prime-time interview the day before her travels that explained why Kamala Harris is unfit to lead America. This was a clear act of political retaliation and a display of how far the establishment’s web is spun throughout every public agency. “The deepest pain and harm and stress that has been caused by all of this is that forever going forward I will always be looking over my shoulder wondering if and how my government is surveilling me,” Gabbard added.

We knew that the Democrats were not above prosecuting and jailing their political opponents. We saw how they called upon Big Tech to silent all voices who disagree with them. Now they have heightened their tyranny by attempting to restrict the freedom of movement of law-abiding citizens. It has become outright dangerous to openly support Donald Trump under Biden-Harris and ANYONE who disagrees with leftist ideology can become a criminal. The original purpose of the TSA combatting terrorism after the 9/11 attacks has been lost.

Tulsi Gabbard

As Tulsi Gabbard stated: “What hurts me the most is the fact that like so many Americans I enlisted because of the terrorist attack on 9/11, deployed to war zones to go after those terrorists, still serve in the US Army for over 21 years, and now my government is surveilling me as a potential domestic terrorist. The real pain this has caused is the stress of forever looking over my shoulder, wondering if and how I am being watched, what secret terror watch list I’m on, and having no transparency or due process. It’s not just about me. Every American has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They have taken that away from me and my family.”

White House Vacant – Biden Absent 40% of Presidency

The average American will never take a 16-day consecutive vacation from work. Why did President Joe Biden take off for nearly half of August? RNC Research reported that Biden has spent 532 days, or 40.3% of his entire presidency, on vacation. Who is leading the nation?

Many often forget that Joe Biden remains president, commander-in-chief, and leader of the world’s top economy. Kamala Harris is NOT the president, but the news cycle has only spoken of her and how she will repair America if elected president. She is utterly absent from her post but swears up and down that she is dedicated to implementing change. So Joe Biden is on a permanent vacation in Delaware while Kamala Harris is on the campaign trail. The White House has become an abandoned building.

BidenBeach

Ronald Reagan was criticized for spending 11% of his presidency on vacation, as was Barack Obama, who took the same amount of time off. Trump was out of office for 26% of his term. Biden set the record for the least number of days on the job back in August 2023, when he missed his 367th day to take a vacation or one year completely out of office.

When Biden bothers to work, he works no more than 30 hours per week which makes him a part-time employee. His former Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, once said that he does nothing prior to 9 AM, but it is closer to 10 AM if you look at any of his public schedules. Biden has blocked efforts for Federal employees to take additional time off during holidays and expects those beneath him to actually do the job that the taxpayers are paying them to do.

The pictures of Biden on a public beach with no security in sight seem suspicious. His home is situated on a private beach and one would think that beach goers would not have such access to one of the most powerful men in the world. There have been no posts online of the president visiting a public beach, an undoubted spectacle anytime the president steps out among the public. One must wonder how recent these pictures are and if they’re even staged.

There is no one at the helm. Biden is a part-time Carpe Diem president and Kamala Harris has not taken control of the White House at a time when she has an open door to do so. One of the primary roles of the POTUS is to connect various cabinets and organizations in Washington to ensure everyone is in alignment. Washington is completely in a free-for-all with no one at the helm. Remind me how the woman who is actively within the White House will change this situation?

Forecasting RecessionsForecasting

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I find it incorrigible that everyone now claims recession when they have never predicted a recession before. That was clear from the video you had of Larry Summers, who admitted nobody could do that. It is very strange how you are the only person who has ever forecast recessions and new highs in markets when everyone was called the opposite. Even in August, you had these people clamoring for an emergency rate cut while you said it was a three-day plunge and a new high would follow.

US GDP 4 25 24

I looked back, and even in your April 25, 2024 post, you said a recession would follow the ECM turn on May 7th. Nobody gives you credit. They all copy you. But without you, they have no forecast. They are stupid, for what you have done is essential for society. These people want to pretend they are something they are not.

They do not even understand what makes a recession unfold.

Thank you so much. I wish people would be honest and give you credit, for that is the only way to hope for what comes after 2032. All they do is plagiarize you.

REPLY: Sadly, what you are describing is human nature. We are a flawed species – tragic in so many ways, like a Greek play. We seem to cling to our expectations of a just and moral world when history records anything but morality. And Thraymachus basically said JUSTICE is always the same – the self-interest of those in power – JUST US is the real spelling.

We have Europe and South America censuring free speech because the LEFT does not believe in civilization; they only see their own self-interest. Their failure in life is caused by the success of others—never themselves. As a species, we seem to believe there is ethical meaning behind everything when we live in an unethical and meaningless world that bathes only in self-interest.

Recession Global

I understand what you mean. Only this model has projected booms, busts, and recessions decades in advance. We have to learn to live with the cycle. Pretending you called a recession from a gut feeling or just looking at US statistics is a joke. We are all in this together. The US cannot withstand a global recession. That is why I say we are all connected. When you have the Neocons threatening war on four fronts, China, Korea, Russia, and Iran, the future is colored with uncertainty. That results in the contraction of spending.

Then, inflation is set in motion by shortages and tax increases. Throw in Kamala’s taxation of unrealized gains and make it only the billionaires. They are then forced to see stock to pay the tax, and you create the biggest crash in history that wipes out people’s pensions. NOTHING takes place in isolation. NEVER do the Democrats ever once question their spending. They are Marxists and must constantly promise more, never less, and that necessitates endless tax increases that always reduce GDP.

InvisibleHand 2

It’s always the invisible hand – we all act in our own self-interest.

How to Read the July Jobs Report


Posted Sep 9, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Jobs

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics released its report for July, indicating a slight uptick in employment. It is difficult to trust BLS data after their latest data revision that showed the Biden-Harris Administration have failed to create new jobs outside of the public sector. It was their steepest revision to data since 2009, yet all eyes were on July’s report. The headlines are optimistic about the workforce but fail to note two main issues – manufacturing is declining while the public sector is rising.

JobsReportJuly2024

Manufacturing appeared flat during Q1 but it has been on the decline ever since as corporations move their operations overseas to avoid US regulation and taxation. The Biden-Harris Administration pledged to attract 1 million new manufacturing jobs in 2024. They believe that the CHIPS Act, Inflation Reduction Act, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will attract business and spent billions on these measures that have failed to produce a single job. Initial data claimed that manufacturing was soaring under Biden but that was only due to businesses reopening after the pandemic. The BLS first claimed Biden added 765,000 manufacturing jobs before revising that figure down by 115,000 but even that was completely inaccurate. Estimates now believe manufacturing sharply declined by 96,000 by mid-2022 and has been contracting ever since. The most recent report found that July shed 24,000 positions but we should expect this figure to be optimistic.

Trump added 462,000 to the sector during his first two years before it declined by 43,000 during 2019. The COVID lockdowns caused the sector to plummet by 1.4 million jobs, 770,000 positions were later recovered before Trump left office but there was a net loss of 188,000 positions by the end of Trump’s term.

The White House promotes the manufacturing propaganda on its website:

“While our work isn’t finished, Bidenomics is already delivering for the American people. Our economy has added more than 13 million jobs—including nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs—and we’ve unleashed a manufacturing and clean energy boom.”

Admittedly, the sector was always beginning to see problems before Biden took office, however, Biden then spent hundreds of billions on acts to attract manufacturing and they ALL failed. BIDENOMICS HAS FAILED.

The White House paints a different picture:

“None of this progress was an accident or inevitable—it has been a direct result of Bidenomics. And rather than taking us back to the failed trickle-down policies of the past, President Biden is committed to finishing the job and continuing to build an economy that finally works for working families—with better jobs, lower costs, and more opportunity.”

Then we have the growing public sector that multiplied under Biden-Harris. The public sector added an additional 24,000 positions in July. Biden openly stated that he wanted to expand the government by at least 82,000 positions in FY24 and this seems to be the one promise he made good on. Every federal agency received a budget boost for this fiscal year with an emphasis on increasing the Treasury Department.

Bidenomics has failed and businesses continue to flee overseas. America is beginning to see a recession in manufacturing at a time when the US needs to produce more. Instead, we are wasting countless resources by growing government to the highest level since World War II. The proper way to analyze this jobs report is to view it as expenses rising and production declining. This will contribute to the coming stagflation that we will see in this economy as GDP declines.

Biden Admits Inflation Reduction Act was NEVER Intended to Reduce Inflation


Posted originally on Sep 9, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

PSA:  Joe Biden is still the president of the United States. Biden has been hiding on a beach in Delaware ever since his disastrous debate with Donald Trump that hard-launched Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee. Biden is speaking off the prompter once again and revealing hard truths that have been concealed from the public. The Inflation Reduction Act, the largest spending measure in American history, was never intended to reduce inflation.

“We should have named it what it was!” Biden said at an event in Westby, Wisconsin, where he unsuccessfully attempted to tout the success of Bidenomics. The president referred to the Inflation Reduction Act as “the most significant CLIMATE CHANGE LAW ever,” adding, “by the way, it is a $369 billion bill, it’s called the–we we we should’ve named it what it was.”

Biden Secon Term

We now know without a shadow of a doubt that the Inflation Reduction Act increased inflation, similar to how the Affordable Care Act under Obama increased the costs of healthcare.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted the truth behind the Inflation Reduction Act last year, but the general public does not know of Yellen and her confession did not make headlines. “The Inflation Reduction Act is, at its core, about turning the climate crisis into an economic opportunity,” Yellen clearly stated. It provided the government with an opportunity to eliminate our energy independence. We did not have an energy crisis before Joe Biden took office. He killed the Keystone deal on his very first day in office and has been promoting the larger WEF Build Back Better plan at the expense of the nation. Biden implemented policies that worsened inflation and then convinced mindless politicians, who never read the large bills put forward, to vote for a $369 billion act under the premise of fixing a problem he created.

The Biden Administration is still seeking TRILLIONS in funding for the largest hoax of the century. Climate change has become the untouchable charitable cause that no one can question. COVID-19 was merely a stepping stone for the lucrative tax opportunity that is climate change and the green agenda. As it is a global issue, it gives rise to the need for globalized institutions and coalitions. The G20 meeting stressed the importance of developed nations collaborating to prevent climate change by taking the people.

Janet Yellen declared that it will take $3 TRILLION ANNUALLY into 2050 for nations to meet their climate objectives. They deem climate change “the single-greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century,” but logical minds will see it as the biggest economic obligation. “Neglecting to address climate change and the loss of nature and biodiversity is not just bad environmental policy. It is bad economic policy,” Yellen told the G20. Not one member objected or questioned her proposal.

Yellen tax on Unrealized Gains

This is why they are coming after capital gains and expanding the Treasury to shake down the American public for their asinine spending packages that focus of funneling money to green initiatives. Climate change has become a global hoax created by the globalists to usurp power. Now, the global population must collectively defeat through taxation. Even third world nations must look at how they’re releasing emissions and make changes. They are willing to limit the food supply, strangle entire sectors, and completely alter our way of life to reduce carbon emissions.

Every nation must comply. We saw Italy’s Meloni shunned by the European Union for even questioning the climate change agenda and calling it “ideological madness.” Additionally, the globalists plan to implement these extreme measures in record time with no actual plan on how to execute it. All they know is that they need more of our money to save the world by 2035. It would be easier for them to spend and collect trillions from the population at large under a centrally backed currency, digital for good measure. They are testing the waters now to see how and who can hold the power to become the world tax authority. The POTUS has admitted what those who are paying attention already knew and it will take a complete 

Colin Gray, Father of 14-Year-Old School Shooter, Charged with Murder and Manslaughter


Posted originally on the CTH on September 7, 2024 | Sundance 

This is an interesting aspect to the latest school shooting in Georgia, and I’m not sure exactly what to think of this new approach. The father of the 14-year-old shooter Colt Gray, has been arrested and charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of Colin Gray, the father of Colt Gray, the 14-year-old boy accused of opening fire at Apalachee High School, resulting in the deaths of four individuals including two students and two teachers.

Colin Gray, aged 54, faces severe charges including four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children, highlighting the escalating scrutiny on parental responsibilities in safeguarding firearms. (more)

Arrest warrants said he caused the deaths of others “by providing a firearm to Colt Gray with knowledge that he was threat to himself and others.”

(Via CNN) – […] “The key issue in the case against the father here will be: recklessness, foreseeability, how he handled the gun in relation to his son,” Toobin told CNN on Thursday night.

Colin Gray could face up to 180 years in prison if convicted on all counts, state Judge Currie Mingledorff said during a Friday hearing.

Central to the case against Gray will be an interaction the father and his son had with law enforcement more than a year before Wednesday’s mass shooting; the teenager’s access to the weapon used in the attack; and what the father knew about the boy’s mental state, experts told CNN, as a portrait of the teenager’s tumultuous family life emerges.

In May 2023, law enforcement questioned Colt and his father about online threats “to commit a school shooting,” the FBI has said. Colt at the time denied making the threats, and his father told authorities his son did not have unsupervised access to hunting guns in the house.

Just seven months later, the suspect’s father purchased the firearm allegedly used in the mass shooting as a holiday present for his son, two law enforcement sources told CNN. The AR-15-style rifle was bought at a local gun store as a Christmas present, one source said. (read more)

On its face, this does seem like the action of a reckless parent in purchasing a firearm for his son just after there was evidence linking the son to online threats of violence.  And yes, factually there are several precedents for parents being held criminally responsible for the actions of their minor children.  However, I’m not sure about the criminal justice system being consistent and charging a parent with second degree murder.

There are hundreds of non-school fatal shootings that could be tied to the reckless action of parents, either by willful blindness or complicity; some in gang related killings.

Is it just the venue, the school shooting aspect, that suddenly draws the attention toward the father Colin Gray?

What about the youth shootings in Chicago, Los Angeles or Baltimore that are carried out by underage teens and yet the parents are never charged.  What happens in those cases.

What are your thoughts about this new accountability model being placed upon the parents?
