Bill Gates has no medical degree and Fauci went straight to the government after his degree. Rochelle Walensky trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1995 to 1998 and then became a fellow in the Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program. In 2001, she earned an MPH in clinical effectiveness from the Harvard School of Public Health. and joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School in 2001 becoming an instructor, then as a professor. The old saying is those that can just do it and those that can’t teach. In this case, read up on a subject and then dictate to the rest of us. If I read a book on health but never practiced medicine, perhaps that would qualify me to work at the CDC or be a top adviser.
Public confidence is continuing to decline, according to a recent poll from the Trafalgar Group partnered with the Convention of States Action. The survey conducted in December recorded responses from 1,076 Americans who seem to be concerned that society is completely in a state of decay. Question one: “Do you believe American society and culture is in a state of decay or a state of progress?” An alarming 76.8% of respondents reported that they believed society was in a state of decay, 9.8% felt society was progressing, and 13.4% were unsure.
Confidence is declining on both ends of the political spectrum: 61 percent of Democrats, 85.9 percent of Republicans, and 81.8 percent of No Party/Other reported that they believed the country was decaying.
“Americans have always been fueled by hope and optimism, and now are united in disgust. Our leaders in Washington, DC are setting the tone, and clearly we need dramatic changes there in both parties in the next election,” Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States Action group, stated. “United in disgust” certainly describes the way the world feels. The “leaders” in DC have abandoned the people as we go on to year three of the COVID power grab. Unemployment is down, wages are up, but inflation is so high that the average person is scraping by. The rules constantly change, and society at large has been pushed to a psychological breaking point by governments.
Our model indicates that this private wave will continue for years to come before peaking in 2032. Government has lost the public’s trust entirely. This is why I say their Build Back Better agenda will not succeed, for the people are beginning to realize that the “new norm” is an unacceptable way of life.moreCategories:North America
As I reported in November, Federal Reserve members are fleeing the central bank. Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Richard Clarida announced that he is resigning this Friday before his term ends in the midst of scandal. Similar to other Fed members who resigned in 2021, Clarida has come under harsh scrutiny for what many deem insider trading. With only two weeks left of his term, it comes as some surprise that Clarida chose to leave his position immediately.
What is of most interest is that Clarida will now be absent at the policy meeting set for late January when officials will decide when to raise interest rates and minimize the $8 trillion balance sheet. Having an active voice in that conversation is of less concern than escaping scrutiny. Following in the footsteps of Robert Kaplan and Eric Rosengren who resigned over alleged pandemic-related insider trader, Clarida is fleeing at the first sign of scandal despite denying wrongdoing.
“Rich’s contributions to our monetary policy deliberations, and his leadership of the Fed’s first-ever public review of our monetary policy framework, will leave a lasting impact in the field of central banking,” Fed Chairman Powell, who decided to stay at the Fed amid his own scandal, said in a statement. “I will miss his wise counsel and vital insights.” President Biden has already nominated Lael Brainard to take his place, which comes as no surprise as many suspected Brainard would replace Powell had he not been renominated.
When allegations of insider trading among Fed members came to light, Powell stated that he would have an ethics committee investigate board members. Perhaps the board members know that any potential investigation could end in legal disaster and abruptly stepping down is the safest preventative measure.
Project Veritas has come up with documents that show that DARPA rejected the proposed experiments into creating a coronavirus from bats that was proposed by Eco Health Alliance which was in bed with the NIH and Fauci.
Fauci is appearing in World Economic Forum videos with everyone who is in league with Schwab and his World Economic Forum. He is stating that equality is the #1 problem which is Schwab’s agenda for Marxism.
Fauci is now proposing to shut down air travel banning domestic flights for unvaccinated people. Yet countries like Spain have now downgraded COVID to just the flu.
Fauci has testified that he is not concerned with our Constitutional right to freedom. He has advised presidents to ban remedies and support only vaccines. He has the Post Office seizing drugs that are the alternative to vaccines and doctors have told me personally that These drugs are the ONLY treatment they have.
Fauci is now proposing to shut down air travel banning domestic flights for unvaccinated people. Yet countries like Spain have now downgraded COVID to just the flu.
I have been warning that this was created in a lab, and I believe it was deliberately released in China to further put pressure on China in hopes that they could compel it to join Schwab’s Great Reset. This is not about science. This is a bold attempt to restructure the world economy in the vision of Klaus Schwab who is the 21st-century version of Karl Marx.
John Kerry is fully on board with Schwab and he is his link into the White House for Biden is not all there. The White House has already said no matter what, they will never fire Fauci.
Kerry, I believe, has sold out our nation. When the people elected Trump, suddenly democracy became evil populism.
Not only do these people want to end democracy, but they also want to hand the sovereignty of the United States to the United Nations and both statements are made in the open by the World Economic Forum and Schwab.
To them, locking everyone down was a good thing. Making people lose their jobs and destroying small businesses and also setting in motion drastic inflation thanks to shutting down the supply chain to feed the world. Our government has been fully taken over by this Great Reset and this is a coup where they have the objective to overthrow the constitution. Welcome to the last 13 years of this cycle into 2032. They will fail. Little by little the truth is surfacing. Welcome to a coup – 21st-century style.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and Port of Long Beach (POLB) to announce the Biden administration officially saved Christmas. Yes, that actually happened. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti took it one step further and proclaimed Secretary Buttigieg as the official “man who saved Christmas”. WATCH:
The Biden administration is making these ridiculous claims, because they know that no one in the media will actually look into the data and challenge them on the insufferable nonsense. [SEE DATA HERE]
However, beyond the ridiculous claims about increasing port container delivery, when there was actually a decline in port container delivery, the POLA and POLB scheme to hide the ships {Go Deep} has now spread to the Port of Oakland, California.
“Operation Hide the Ships”
OAKLAND – […] Following its success in Southern California, the new system is being expanded to the Bay Area. Ships will wait 50 miles off the coast in a safety and air quality zone until their scheduled arrival time at the Port.
The new system became effective Monday. Ships will get an arrival time based on when they left their last port of call. Before Monday, ships were given an arrival time when they were fewer than 80 nautical miles from the coast.
The new system will allow ships to take their time getting to Oakland, reducing emissions while at sea. It will also allow more space between vessels at sea, making shipping safer especially in the winter when storms are brewing.
“The resounding success of the new container vessel queuing system in Southern California has set the stage for this expansion to the Bay Area,” said Jim McKenna, president and CEO of the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents maritime companies that do business on the West Coast, in a statement. “This updated system has reduced the number of vessels at anchor near our ports.” (read more)
The purpose of telling the ships to await their port time in a queue farther offshore is transparent. The Biden administration wants to give the illusion they eliminated the bottleneck of container ships. Out of sight is out of mind.
Operation ‘Hide the Ships’ allows the administration to make claims about port efficiencies and increased productivity that are abjectly false. The data from the first full month shows less container offloading and onloading happened in November than happened in the prior month of October when the new initiatives were announced. {Data Here}
It’s all just a fabricated Potemkin village of false information that permits them to stand at the port and declare they saved Christmas.
“We parked them ships so far away, you can’t even see them any longer”…
CALIFORNIA – […] “Starting Nov. 16, 2021, ships waiting to anchor at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will have to wait for a green light about 150 miles from the coast, the Pacific Merchant Shipping Assn., the Pacific Maritime Assn. and the Marine Exchange of Southern California said in a statement Thursday. That compares with 20 nautical miles (23 miles) now. North- and southbound vessels must remain more than 50 miles from the state’s coastline.” (read more)

Earlier today, Senator Ted Cruz attempted to regain his J6 credibility with questions to the DOJ and FBI about the day’s events.
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing provided the backdrop for an urgently needed modification to the marionette strings. Capitalizing on the opportunity, Senator Ted Cruz (U-DC) asked Jill Sanborn, Executive Assistant Director, National Security Branch at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, about any law enforcement participation in the events of Jan. 6.
Questions were asked, grand protestations were proclaimed, theater lights dimmed to provide the dramatic context, and Ms. Sanborn noted she could not answer the questions. Curiously (or not) there was no follow-up as to “why the FBI was unable to answer”. WATCH:
The Cruz campaign staff quickly copied the performance and uploaded it to the Senator’s accounts for immediate distribution. Many teeth began gnashing, and grand proclamations were made about the possibilities and ramifications.
Shiney things began making a lot of noise all around the social media sphere, and there is now a strong possibility the situation may escalate. Some observers even noted that strongly worded letters might be sent… and tomorrow is Wednesday.

The snowball effect of cumulative inflation is going to be on display tomorrow when the BLS inflation data from December is released. We have previously discussed the unavoidable price increases as noted within the November data Here, and within the producer price data Here.
While the data being released tomorrow is backward looking, we are in the eye of the inflation storm right now. The consumer prices at end of January and through February are all reflecting new purchase order prices and contract prices to wholesalers, buyers and retailers. As a result, the December reports will be the precursor to what will be much more damaging data in Feb and March.
White House spokesperson Jen Psaki began trying to get ahead of the consumer price release with a short briefing to the traveling press pool earlier today. A short audio-only soundbite reflects the political problem the White House knows they will soon be dealing with. LISTEN:
As the BLS accurately (albeit briefly) noted in their November release, the inflation data reflected the cumulative increases in costs of products and services at all stages in the supply chain. Raw materials cost more (extraction, regulation impact), processing costs more (energy impact), transport costs more (fuel impact), final goods assembly costs more and handling costs more. From field-to-fork or mining-to-showcase, the total cost to create stuff costs more. [AP Interactive Chart]
Yes, the inflation data is backward looking. Meaning, it is looking back toward the previous period to compare costs. However, despite the White House protestations to the contrary, that’s not a good thing, because it is going to get worse.
The contracted price for goods delivered (depending on sector) are net terms in 30, 60 or 90 days. Meaning, the purchase price on final goods wholesalers were receiving in November, 2021, were agreed upon months before. Those terms for current arriving goods in Q4 are no longer valid. The new Q1 2022 terms (purchase orders) carry higher costs, and as an outcome, higher prices to consumers are still coming.
The AP chart above shows the ascending spike in inflation overall. Do you see that little plateau (mid spike)? That’s June and July of 2021, when we noticed the economy overall appeared to have stalled out. As we highlighted {Go Deep}, that brief plateau corresponded with a gear change internally in the macro economy as productivity dropped by 5% very quickly in the third quarter.
Immediately following that two-month plateau around 5%, the next few months of data showed that American consumers, writ large, were reacting to inflation by changing their spending habits. That’s when future contracts for new housing starts stalled out. Immediately thereafter, up to today, all the data indicated working class U.S. consumers are hunkering down with less disposable income and prioritizing spending on essentials: housing, rent, gasoline, food. Everything else is of lesser importance.
In the service sector, specifically hospitality and venue employment, overall demand for services slowed, but the employment data (showing the contraction) remained hidden, because we were climbing out of the COVID lockdown hole.
It appeared the service sector was gaining back jobs; but the backward to last year comparison was clouding an actual slowdown in services, because the data was comparing itself to 2020 when services were shut down. Demand for services was down, but we couldn’t really see it.
All of this inflation is being driven by policy. •[1] Energy policy (oil, gas leases nullified & pipelines cancelled) in combination with regulations targeting environmental impacts (CA ports emissions rules) is driving up energy costs. CORE inflation results from this. •[2] Fiscal policy by White House and legislature has been spending like drunken sailors, and that adds to a storm of •[3] monetary policy, with the Fed buying back the debt created by spending, and as a consequence devaluing the dollar currency.
The cost of exporting products is less, because China and the Euro benefit from lower U.S. dollar values. However, more export of raw materials means higher prices domestically in what little remains of the supply/demand influence. The multinationals are making out like bandits, Wall Street is happy, and the middle class of America is once again a victim of economic policy.
First, the DC politicians delivered the “rust belt” to us as an outcome of their favoring Wall Street over Main Street, and now they are wiping out our checking accounts with massive inflation. Remember the oft repeated -and infuriating- catch phrase, “The U.S. is a service driven economy?“, said by both wings of the UniParty? Well, put another way… first they off-shored our jobs, now they off-shore our wealth. This is not an accidental outcome of flawed policy, they are doing this intentionally.
We are being gutted from the inside.
You don’t accidentally stop pipelines, cancel oil leases, shut down refining capacity, change port regulations and then act surprised by saying: ‘whoopsie’ gasoline seems to be costing more? Duh! It’s a feature not a flaw. Many of the people behind Joe Biden are stupid, but they ain’t *THAT* stupid. They know what they are doing, but they have to pretend not to know things in order to avoid the tar and feathers.
Table-1 gives us a good snapshot of how the sector specific prices were rising in November [data here]:
If you want to go even deeper into the categories, check out Table-2 HERE.
Again, this was backward looking data, and there’s nothing visible right now to give any optimism that prices will not continue rising yet again in the next few months. Exactly the opposite is true. As we noted at the time, there is clear evidence prices will go up again in December, January and February based on the current situation. The evidence of future price increases was clear in the Producer Price Index.
The “Producer Price Index” is essentially the tracking of wholesale prices at three stages: Origination (commodity), Intermediate and Final.
The final product inflation rate in July (reported in August) was alarming at 7.8%. However, we warned it would get worse. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) then released stunning price data for October [DATA Here], showing an even more dramatic 8.6% price increase in final demand. More intense warnings shared.
By the time we got to the November BLS Result [DATA Here], released in December 2021, unfortunately the results showed what was expected.
The cumulative costs of massive increases in energy prices are building into the supply at an astonishing rate. The November data showed a rate of wholesale final goods inflation at 9.6%, the largest single month comparative rate increase in history.
The bureau even went back and revised/increased the August price index from 7.8 to 8.4 percent, and revised/increased the October figure from 8.6 to 8.8 percent. The average monthly price increase is almost a full percent… every month. It looks like the BLS backward revisions were an attempt to smooth down the rate of increase.
When you see the wholesale level of prices almost double the increase in consumer level inflation rate, you can predict that consumer prices will likely go even higher.
Future finished goods, at a retail level, will carry the current wholesale price increase.
Stuff costs a lot now… and because the inbound stuff to make the finished goods is still climbing in price…. stuff is about to cost even more.
You can see from Table A (above) that finished good prices are still climbing. That’s the higher price inflation you are feeling when you buy a product.
What will change this scenario is an actual drop on the demand side, as U.S. consumers see their income values wiped out. Unfortunately, that appears to be part of the policy agenda for the White House.
If they can reduce demand by making things unaffordable, they can claim victory over inflation (mid/late 2022) and proclaim their economic policies a success. The prices will never drop, but the percent of change will stall out.
The downside of the White House achieving what they call “success” is unfortunately, by the time we reach that point we will have nothing left; we’re broke. Prices will finally level off, but the savings of Americans will have been depleted and wage growth will then take years to catch up.

Senator Dr. Rand Paul confronted Dr. Anthony Fauci and they got into a heated exchange during a Senate committee hearing on COVID-19.
Senator Paul confronted Fauci about his efforts to manipulate science based on his political ideology. Dr. Fauci pulled the first line of leftist retort, become a victim, and replied that Senator Paul was trying to get him killed.
Dr. Fauci’s extremely partisan political views form the basis of his ¹instability. Suffering from extreme delusions of grandeur and enabled by a group of leftist sycophants in politics, media and Hollywood, Fauci has a severely inflated view of his importance, while simultaneously carrying a fear of being exposed as the fraud he is. The defensive pearl-clutching is a big tell. WATCH:
Everything you ever needed to know about the mindset of Dr. Fauci was revealed in these two emails to Hillary Clinton and her lawyers when she was Secretary of State.
Stable professional people DO NOT talk like this. People of a stable mind do not email these sorts of message to people in their professional sphere. The issue is not a matter of political affiliation of support; that’s not the problem. The problem is a mindset of an individual who would be comfortable sitting down and writing this without even thinking what was written is inappropriate, weird and, well, creepy.
The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak put the person who carries this unstable mindset into a place of authority. Everything that followed is a massive consequence of jaw-dropping proportions.
