Why Did George Soros Receive a Stimulus Check?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Gov’t Incompetence Re-Posted Nov 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Yet another example of government mismanagement at its finest. According to a new report by ProPublica, at least 18 billionaires received stimulus checks last year, although they were only to be received by individuals making under $75,000 annually. The stimulus checks did nothing to truly help the people struggling but were intended to pacify the people a little longer during the experimental lockdown. One of the billionaires who received a stimulus check was none other than George Soros, who has a net worth of around $7.5 billion. His representatives claim that they returned the check to the government. On paper, these people may appear to be making close to nothing as they know how to work the system in their favor.

Energy Secretary Erupts in Laughter When Asked if Biden Administration Will Start Increasing U.S. Oil Production


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 5, 2021 | Sundance | 19 Comments

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked what the Biden administration plan was to increase U.S. oil production.  Her response is exactly what you might believe it would be from a thoroughly incompetent ideological administration.  WATCH:

So what can a U.S. President and administration specifically do?

We have abundant U.S. energy resources.  Quite literally the strongest in the entire world.

  • Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
  • Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
  • Reapprove the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
  • Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
  • Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
  • Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
  • Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.

None of this requires any approval from OPEC.  Strategically, the all of the above approach enhances U.S. national security and diminishes the influence of Russia, China and Iran.  Within six months of the above, gasoline will plummet

The Most Corrupt FBI Agent in U.S. History Attempts to Divert Attention – Rachael Maddow Interviews Peter Strzok


Posted originally on the conservative tree House on November 5, 2021 | Sundance | 19 Comments

Everything about this interview is a case study in lies, manipulation and media attempts to cover for their corrupt ideological allies.  If the background issue wasn’t so serious, it would all be a little funny.   MSNBC propagandist Rachael Maddow interviews former FBI special agent Peter Strzok about the arrest of dossier source Igor Danchenko.

One funny aspect… Notice the video begins with Peter Strzok testifying about the importance of the FBI investigating the campaign of Donald J Trump.  Then notice the and of the interview Peter Strzok says claims the FBI investigated the campaign of Donald J Trump are false.   Strzok and Maddow don’t even see themselves, kinda funny.

Throughout the interview Strzok attempts to carefully distance the Steele Dossier from the FBI and FISA application.  That technique is how Strzok attempts to push away the importance of Igor Danchenko, the source of the information in the FISA application used by Strzok to conduct surveillance on Trump.   The interview is akin to watching two kids with blue hands, lips and cheeks attempting to say it wasn’t them that ate the blueberry pie.

Another hilarious point inside the argument being made by Rachael Maddow is one you can only see if you stand back away from the nonsense.  The point being debated by Maddow in her weird effort to point a finger at Durham’s lengthy indictments of the participants so far, is essentially:  Was the FBI STUPID or was the FBI CORRUPT?

Strzok and Maddow are claiming within their argument, while not saying it openly, that the FBI were stupid and tricked by false and manufactured evidence.  Strzok even says in the interview despite the FBI inability to prove information in the Steele dossier “we could not disprove it either.”    Think about that.

Peter Strzok defends himself by saying…. We could not disprove the Danchenko allegations, so we put them in a DOJ FISA application and swore to the FISA court they were true and verified.

When ‘yer in a hole, stop diggin’ Pete.

FBI Raids Homes of Project Veritas Journalists – James O’Keefe Reveals Details of DOJ Targeting and Coordination With New York Times


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 5, 2021 | Sundance | 60 Comments

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe releases an alarming message.  The FBI and DOJ from the Southern District of New York (SDNY) have raided the homes of Project Veritas journalists.  Keep in mind, all modern background activity indicates the FBI mission is for the U.S. government what the FSB mission is for the Kremlin.

As the raid was taking place a journalist from the New York Times contacted one of the targets and asked for comment; highlighting that the FBI and DOJ had told the New York Times in advance of their raid.   This is stunning.  WATCH:

Two days ago CTH warned everyone this would happen:  […] “in the background of every place they gather, those political activists who were handed a resounding defeat yesterday are discussing how to attack again. In defeat you can fully expect this insane crowd to become even more entrenched, even more vitriolic, even more crazy. You will see it with even bigger demands on their Big Tech and Big Government allies to crush voices of communication against their enemy.”

“They will demand more censorship, more deplatforming of their opposition; more silencing of voices, more demonetization of content platforms by their corporate allies. They will go even harder in the totalitarian direction. This is what they do. This crowd is like the scorpion in Aesop’s fable about the frog crossing the river. They are incapable of not stinging… it’s what they do.”  (read more)

College Costs Increased 2700% in the Last 50 Years


Armstrong Economics Blog/Student Debt Re-Posted Nov 5, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

(Image provided by Scott Winstead)

I have stated countless times before that an apprenticeship or on-the-job experience is superior to formal education. The curriculum is shaped by left-leaning professors who are funded by left-leaning organizations. Even a North Korean defector reported feeling that students were “choosing to be brainwashed,” and felt that the curriculum at Columbia University stifled critical thinking.

Not to mention, once you pile on the student loan debt, good luck getting out. Thanks to the Clintons repealing Glass-Steagall, student debt is non-dischargeable even in the case of bankruptcy. The costs for college continue to rise. According to a non-profit group called the College Board, college tuition would cost between $10,000 and $20,000 annually if it rose at the same rate as inflation. Instead, the cost for public tuition is now between $22,690 for in-state students to $39,510 for out-of-state students, while private schools cost around $51,690. This means that the average cost of college has increased by 2700% in the past 50 years!

Joe Biden vowed to erase some college tuition debt as a campaign promise designed to attract young voters. Unfortunately, he had no financial plan to do such a thing, and most who are educated and well-read (there is a difference), knew it was an empty promise. Companies are increasingly not requiring college degrees for new hires, but the stigma attached to not having a college degree remains prominent. The idea that we must receive formal education to be labeled as educated individuals is an antiquated concept that is causing thousands of Americans to plummet into a life of debt from which there is no escape. Prior generations could afford to go to school, buy a home, and begin families. The entire concept of the American dream has been altered due to the US university cash-grab.

Biden’s New Anti-Republican & Independent Punitive Orders.


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Nov 4, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Biden Administration has continued its onslaught against political adversaries by now creating rules that workers at larger businesses will have to get vaccinated for COVID-19 by Jan. 4, 2022, or face regular testing under new federal rules. The people behind Biden do as they like because he is the one who will go down in history as a tyrant – not them. He is also imposing a $14,000 per employee per incident that they do not comply with these rules. Thi impact 84 million workers. They will then seize people’s homes and through their families out on the street to collect their fines while seizing bank accounts. The Supreme Court has abandoned the American people and they will push the nation into civil unrest.

Workers refusing to take the vaccines will be subject to regular testing and Biden wants them to pay for the cost as he introduces punitive measures as much as possible. With these vaccines being only temporary, this implies that the vaccinated will need booster shots without end. Even 25% of the White House has COVID even after being vaccinated. Biden lacks the power to mandate every individual be vaccinated so he is being as punitive as possible and will seize property and bank accounts trying to wipe out all those who oppose him.

Yet all the information coming out from Israel shows that the vaccinated are even dying and they certainly get COVID and can spread it. So why is a vaccinated person also not required to get regularly tested and wear masks? This makes no sense and it is simply a means to restrict the movement of people putting the health of the entire population at risk for a control gimmick.

Politicians are simply refusing to answer legitimate questions no matter what country we look at. I learned in health class in high school that we CANNOT cure any virus when it also resides in animals. Trudeau in Canada said he would donate vaccines to the third world to terminate COVID. Either he is outright stupid or a boldface liar or just a fraud. COVID is already in the animal population.

John Durham Needs to Look Toward Mary McCord


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 5, 2021 | Sundance | 54 Comments

When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) about submitting the application, because it did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’).  That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important.  It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the campaign of Donald J. Trump.

When the application was finally assembled for submission to the FISA court, the head of the DOJ-NSD was John Carlin.  Carlin quit working for the DOJ-NSD in late September 2016 just before the final application was submitted (October 21,2016).  John Carlin was replaced by Deputy Asst. Attorney General, Mary McCord.

♦ When the FISA application was finally submitted (approved by Sally Yates and James Comey), it was Mary McCord who did the actual process of filing the application and gaining the Title-1 surveillance warrant.

A few months later, February 2017, with Donald Trump now in office as President, it was Mary McCord who went with Deputy AG Sally Yates to the White House to confront White House legal counsel Don McGahn over the Michael Flynn interview with FBI agents.  The surveillance of Flynn’s calls was presumably done under the auspices and legal authority of the FISA application Mary McCord previously was in charge of submitting.

♦ At the time the Carter Page application was filed (October 21, 2016), Mary McCord’s chief legal counsel inside the office was a DOJ-NSD lawyer named Michael Atkinson.  In his role as the legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD, it was Atkinson’s job to review and audit all FISA applications submitted from inside the DOJ.  Essentially, Atkinson was the DOJ internal compliance officer in charge of making sure all FISA applications were correctly assembled and documented.

♦ When the anonymous CIA whistleblower complaint was filed against President Trump for the issues of the Ukraine call with President Zelensky, the Intelligence Community Inspector General had to change the rules for the complaint to allow an anonymous submission.  Prior to this change, all intelligence whistleblowers had to put their name on the complaint.  It was this 2019 IGIC who changed the rules.  Who was the Intelligence Community Inspector General?  Michael Atkinson.

When ICIG Michael Atkinson turned over the newly authorized anonymous whistleblower complaint to the joint House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee (Schiff and Nadler chairs), who did Michael Atkinson give the complaint to?  Mary McCord.

Yes, after she left main justice, Mary McCord took the job of working for Chairman Jerry Nadler and Chairman Adam Schiff as the chief legal advisor inside the investigation that led to the construction of articles of impeachment.   As a consequence, Mary McCord received the newly permitted anonymous whistleblower complaint from her old office colleague Michael Atkinson.

♦  During his investigation of the Carter Page application, Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered an intentional lie inside the Carter Page FISA application (directly related to the ‘Woods File’) which his team eventually tracked to FBI counterintelligence division lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith.  Eventually Clinesmith was criminally charged with fabricating evidence (changed wording on an email) in order to intentionally falsify the underlying evidence in the FISA submission.

When John Durham took the Clinesmith indictment to court, the judge in the case was James Boasberg.

♦ In addition to being a DC criminal judge, James Boasberg is also a FISA court judge who signed-off on one of the renewals for the FISA application that was submitted using fraudulent evidence fabricated by Kevin Clinesmith.  In essence, now the presiding judge over the FISA court, Boasberg was the FISC judge who was tricked by Clinesmith and now the criminal court judge in charge of determining Clinesmith’s legal outcome.  Judge Boasberg eventually sentenced Clinesmith to 6 months probation.

As an outcome of continued FISA application fraud and wrongdoing by the FBI in their exploitation of searches of the NSA database, Presiding FISC Judge James Boasberg appointed an amici curiae advisor to the court who would monitor the DOJ-NSD submissions and ongoing FBI activities.

Who did James Boasberg select as a FISA court amicus?  Mary McCord.

♦ SUMMARY:  Mary McCord submitted the original false FISA application to the court using the demonstrably false Dossier.  Mary McCord participated in the framing of Michael Flynn.  Mary McCord worked with ICIG Michael Atkinson to create a fraudulent whistleblower complaint against President Trump; and Mary McCord used that manipulated complaint to assemble articles of impeachment on behalf of the joint House Intel and Judiciary Committee.  Mary McCord then took up a defensive position inside the FISA court to protect the DOJ and FBI from sunlight upon all the aforementioned corrupt activity.

You can clearly see how Mary McCord would be a person of interest if anyone was going to start digging into corruption internally within the FBI, DOJ or DOJ-NSD.

Now the latest….

YESTERDAY – In Washington DC – “Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee has tapped Mary McCord, who once ran the Justice Department’s National Security Division, for representation in its fight to obtain former President Donald Trump’s White House records. (read more)

Does that sound like the action of a DC system, a Fourth Branch of government per se’, who are in the least bit worried about John Durham?

FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann, Steele source Igor Danchenko are all external participants to the corrupt endeavors undertaken by the top levels of the White House, DOJ and FBI during their purposeful targeting of candidate Donald Trump and President Donald Trump.

Lisa Monaco is now the Deputy Attorney General. John Carlin is back inside the DOJ-NSD, and now Mary McCord is back inside a House investigative committee put together to purposefully target Donald J Trump…  AGAIN!

White House Spox Attempts to Cover For Joe Biden Not Knowing About DOJ Settlement to Pay Illegal Aliens


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 4, 2021 | Sundance | 135 Comments

Yesterday, CTH noted the response from Joe Biden about his DHS, HHS and DOJ agreeing to pay illegal aliens restitution was clear and specific evidence Biden had no idea it was happening.  {Go Deep} The question from Fox News was the first time Biden had ever heard about the issue.

The people who really run the Executive Branch never told the White House occupant anything about the agreement, because Biden is essentially irrelevant to what they do on a daily basis.

As a result, yesterday Joe Biden called the media reporting “garbage” and said “it’s not going to happen.”  Today, the White House attempted damage control and spun the issue as if Joe Biden was just not aware of the settlement amount.   The strained attempt to cover for the reality was evident in Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s response today from the podium. WATCH:

[Transcript]  … “President Biden is calling these reports about the administration paying up to $450,000 to illegal immigrants who are separated from family members “garbage.” He says it’s not going to happen. But the ACLU says that it is. So, who is right?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Are you talking about the question you asked him yesterday?

Q Yes.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, if it saves taxpayer dollars and puts the disastrous history of the previous administration’s use of zero tolerance and family separation behind us, the President is perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice settling with the individuals and families who are currently in litigation with the U.S. government.    You know, DOJ can obviously speak more to that process. The President was — what he was reacting to was the dollar figure that was mentioned — that you mentioned to him yesterday.

As press accounts today indicate — there’s been press accounts on this — DOJ made clear to the plaintiffs that the reported figures are higher than anywhere that a settlement can land.

Again, this is a — this is something that the Department of Justice can speak to. I do not have anything more to add to this.

Q But if it’s not — if he’s not okay with $450,000, how much money is he okay giving these illegal immigrants?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: This is some- — again, Peter, this is something that the Department of Justice is going to handle. I just laid out what he was thinking and how this is — the process was moving forward. The DOJ will talk to the specifics of this.

Q And so what changed, then, from yesterday? You’re saying that he would be “perfectly comfortable” settling with these families who broke the law to come here, but, yesterday, he said, “That’s not going to happen.”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: First of all, let’s remember how we got here, how we got to a place where we’re dealing with families being separated. This is coming from the last administration’s cruel, inhuman, immoral — immoral policies against — against just people. It’s separating children from their families — 18-month-olds, 2-year-olds, 5-year-olds from their families.

That’s how we got here is because of the last administration. This is what we’re trying to deal with here in this administration. So, let’s be very clear of how we got here and what’s happening.

Anything else that you would like to know about this, again, I’ll — I’ll send you to the Department of Justice. I can’t speak to specifics — any more specifics on this. (read more)

Senator Rand Paul Confronts Dr. Death, Anthony Fauci, Over Lies Surrounding U.S. Funding of Virus Weaponization

During a Senate hearing today, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul confronted Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, over his continued lies and obfuscations about the NIH funding of coronavirus “gain of function” research in Wuhan, China. 

Dr. Fauci is primarily responsible for facilitating weaponization of viruses which likely led to the COVID-19 outbreak.  As  a result, Dr. Death must continue to obfuscate and deny his responsibility by manipulating language, terms and definitions to cover his involvement.  WATCH:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Promises to File Suit Against Dept of Labor and OSHA Rule Tomorrow


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 4, 2021 | Sundance | 44 Comments

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced a lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s unconstitutional Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) employer vaccine mandate. As soon as the unlawful emergency temporary standard (ETS) is published in the Federal Register tomorrow, the lawsuit will be immediately filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. For more information on the court action, click here.  WATCH:

On page 5: “The ETS protects these workers through the most effective and efficient control available – vaccination – and further protects workers who remain unvaccinated through required regular testing, use of face coverings, and removal of all infected employees from the workplace.”

A recent study from Sweden published in The Lancet found that within 200 days, mRNA vaccines had no ability to prevent transmission whatsoever.

On page 15: The agency is not required to support its conclusions “with anything approaching scientific certainty and has the “prerogative to choose between conflicting evidence.”

The CDC recently released a review of research studies and its own unpublished data indicating that both infection-induced and vaccine-induced immunity are durable for at least six months. This rule should account for natural immunity.

On page 20: The agency does not believe it appropriate to impose the costs of testing on an employer where an employee has made an individual choice to pursue a less protective option. For the same reasons, OSHA has also determined that it is not appropriate to require employers to pay for face coverings for employees who choose not to be vaccinated.

Employees will have a direct financial penalty for making a medical decision of which they have every right to be in control.

This rule, if allowed to be implemented, will impact nearly 9,000 employers in Florida and the 4.5 million Floridians they employ who make up 60% of our workforce. Nationally, it will cost $2.9 billion. This OSHA rule must be deemed unconstitutional and Florida will be leading the way in taking the Biden Administration to court. (read more)
