Biden digs his own grave in ninety minutes


Biden gaffes that will cost him millions of votes

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By —— Bio and Archives—October 1, 2020

 

The bruising brawl over six rounds of fifteen minutes each—advertised as the first Presidential Debate—saw Joe Biden:

  • Alienate a large part of his voter base by denigrating Bernie Sanders and repudiating the 110 page Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations (“Manifesto”)
  • Hold the voters in contempt by refusing to answer whether he would pack the Supreme Court with his nominees if he won the election and Democrats became the majority in the Senate.

Biden’s readiness to demean Sanders and abandon the Manifesto during the following exchange was breathtaking—and Trump was quick to take advantage:

BIDEN: My party is me.

TRUMP: And socialist health care.

BIDEN: Right now, I am the Democratic Party.

TRUMP: And they’re going to dominate you, Joe, you know that.

BIDEN: I am the Democratic Party right now. The platform of the Democratic Party—

TRUMP: Not according to Harris.

BIDEN:—is what I, in fact, approved of. What I approved of…

… TRUMP: Joe, you agreed with Bernie Sanders’s far left on the manifesto, we call it.

BIDEN: Manifesto? Look…

TRUMP: And that gives you socialized medicine.

BIDEN: Look, hey, I’m not going to listen to him. The fact of the matter is I beat Bernie Sanders…

TRUMP: Not by much.

BIDEN: I beat him by a whole hell of a lot. I’m here standing facing you, old buddy.

TRUMP: If “Pocahontas” would’ve left two days early, you would’ve lost every primary.

BIDEN: All he knows how to do is hurt…

TRUMP: On Super Tuesday, you got very lucky.

BIDEN: Look, here’s the deal. I got very lucky, I’m going to get very lucky tonight as well. And tonight I’m going to make sure because here’s the deal.

BIDEN: There is no manifesto, number one.

WALLACE: Please let him speak, Mr. President.

BIDEN: Number two…

TRUMP: You just lost the left.

BIDEN: Number two…

TRUMP: You just lost the left. You agreed with Bernie Sanders on a plan that’s absolutely…

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: … socialized medicine.

Biden insulted the voters’ intelligence by refusing to disclose his intentions on packing the Supreme Court:

WALLACE: All right. I have one final question for you, Mr. Vice President. If Senate Republicans—we were talking originally about the Supreme Court here. If Senate Republicans go ahead and confirm Justice Barrett, there has been talk about ending the filibuster or even packing the court, adding to the nine justices there. You called this a distraction by the president, but in fact it wasn’t brought up by the president; it was brought up by some of your Democratic colleagues in the Congress.

BIDEN: I’m saying…

WALLACE: So my question to you, is you have refused in the past to talk about it. Are you willing to tell the American people tonight whether or not you will support either ending the filibuster, or packing the court…

BIDEN: Whatever the position I take on that, that will become the issue. The issue is the American people should speak. You should go out and vote. You’re in voting now. Vote and let your senators know how strongly you feel. Vote now. Make sure you in fact let people know.

TRUMP: He doesn’t want to answer the question.

BIDEN: I’m not going to answer that question because…

TRUMP: Why wouldn’t you answer that question?

BIDEN: The question is…

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: The radical left…

BIDEN: Would you shut up, man?

Trump won’t be shutting up—that’s for sure.

Neither will the Republican Party as they swamp the media with ads featuring these two major Biden gaffes that will cost him millions of votes.

Forget Science – subscribe to Nihilism instead – NOT REALLY!


By education, I mean a system of teaching a broad curriculum with the basics of the major fields of knowledge, from history to modern technologies that also fosters critical thinking and curiosity

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By —— Bio and Archives—September 30, 2020

 

As it appears, simply destroying statues of explorers, statesmen, or other notables from centuries past no longer satisfies the current lust for mayhem of the “forward-looking progressive minds.”

Now, even park benches in memory of entirely non-political scholars of the past are deemed to be inappropriate to sensitive woke minds. One example is a park bench, dedicated to the memory of one of the greatest biologists/naturalists of the distant past, namely Carl von Linné (1707-1778).

Homo sapiens

Poor Carl, a simple park bench—with his name mentioned on the back—may become another victim of the modern Zeitgeist. You may wonder, what exactly was Carl’s claim to his (current) infamy? He created the term “Homo sapiens”—what a crime!

This Latin term simply means something like “wise human.” You might think of that as being good, or normal, or even as “modern.” As it appears, the local political powers in Oslo, Norway, have concluded otherwise. It could be interpreted as an affront to less modern or wise inhabitants. And that, as you, my Dear Readers will recognize instantly—and indubitably, I presume—as a great faux pas!

It’s perfectly OK to use modern instant communication facilities to chat with your like-minded nihilists,  but anyone that may have labored hard in past centuries to build the knowledge base that such facilities relies on are to be damned and forgotten.

Most likely it’s of little consolation to Linné and other scholars of the past, like philosopher David Hume (1711-1776), and explorers, cartographers, politicians and other notables of former times that they are similarly being degraded now. Without their attention to detail and perseverance against many obstacles to their work and dedication, our world would not be where it’s at now.

In fact, none of the modern engines that power the world and none of the many other conveniences would ever have come into existence. What the “Snowflakes” would do without instant access to the latest social media info, news and videos from far corners of the Earth (or even the Universe) on their “smart phones —I wonder.

Affordable Energy & Food—when it’s needed

However, there’s another dimension to modern accomplishments besides gadgets and living conditions in general. That’s the availability of on-demand energy and nourishments at an affordable cost.

Ever since Homo sapiens learned to behold the heat of fire, life improved. Gathering the fruits from the environment gave way to developing weapons like the atlatl, bow and arrow, and gunpowder that led to the rise of towns and cities as are now found across the entire world. Having access to abundant energy allowed more time for more productive work not just a continuous struggle for survival. It enabled more efficient planting and harvesting of agricultural products with increased yields, thus more people to get fed better.

That elevated productivity also encouraged curious minds to observe the results of experiments and invent all kinds of new insights and systems that propelled each other further “up the hill.” Of course, making any of such ideas widely known was a critical point of inflection. It came with the invention of the printing press by J. Gutenberg (1400-1468).

That ushered in a period of extraordinary development in any field of exploration. This period became known as the Renaissance. The discovery of the Americas by C. Columbus (1451-1506) was just the beginning of this long journey of discovery.

Really, there are too many milestones and important inventions to list them here. Just let me mention a few: namely the steam engine (J Watt, 1736-1819) and others, often expanding on past knowledge, like the internal combustion engine (N. Otto, 1832-1891), the (safe to handle) explosive compound dynamite (A. Nobel, 1833-1896), the recognition of antimicrobial lotions (Paracelsus, 1493-1541), and many other (at the time) revolutionary insights and discoveries.

From the Renaissance to Nihilism

The human race certainly went on a binge of innovations, ever since. But times are a’ changing—not necessarily for the better.

Now, I think, we seem to enter a retro-period. The signs are all around. As it appears, some of the aforementioned inventions are about to be heaved onto history’s scrap heap, lock, stock and barrel. This is a kind of nihilism, change for change’s sake.

For example, the “carbon-fuel” based internal combustion engines (ICEs) are ordered to become obsolete in the not too distant future. As reported, the California Governor, G.Newsom, just signed an executive order that aims to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine cars in the state by 2035. Just so, by the wisdom of the state.

The order did not specify what was supposed to take the ICEs place. Presumably the idea is to replace them with (battery-powered) electric vehicles. Or, perhaps the new European “grand idea” of hydrogen-fueled cars or “hybrids” of some sort.

Believe me, the world’s energy demand is much greater than what could be created from wind, solar, or biomass (wood- or agricultural products-burning) systems and certainly not without obliterating much of the world’s forest and food producing areas. The path forward is not IN returning to the past. It is to wisely use the accumulated wisdom OF the past to decide on where to go in the future.

The Future is in Education

By education, I mean a system of teaching a broad curriculum with the basics of the major fields of knowledge, from history to modern technologies that also fosters critical thinking and curiosity.

It’s vital to the ”survival of the fittest.”

Why Alberta Better Exit Canada & Fast!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada

Re-Posted Sep 30, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:  Dear Martin,
I have followed your work for years now I want to thank you for your tireless efforts to provide insightful information, the world needs you and your information more than ever.
I am writing to you because of the concern specific to Alberta, and Canada. If you want an example of a country that is being run by the United Nations look no further than Canada. We have Justin Trudeau that claims he is the First Post Nationalist Leader and that Canada is the First Post-National State.

Basically, he seems to be taking his orders from the un-elected United Nations. Trudeau has given the Finance Minister position to Chrystia Freeland, journalist Reporter turned politician, carrying out the mandate of the World Economic Forum where she is a member of the Board of Trustees along with the United Nations and the WHO.

Every day our media outlets in Canada are getting a constant diet of COVID case tallies, telling us we are all racist and that we are killing the planet with human activities and if you question this narrative you are canceled or shamed. The same ideology outlined the World Economic Forum for Canada under their Strategic Intelligence page.

Any insights you can provide us the direction of Alberta would be greatly appreciated.

MG

ANSWER: Trudeau is about as corrupt as they come. It is curious how the claimed left, who is so concerned about getting the rich back and being fair, is always the most corrupt. It reminds me of that famous line, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks,” from the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Trudeau suspended Parliament when it was investigating the ethics controversy where countless millions went to his family of deals. While this is seen as a coverup, there is far more at stake here. Can you imagine if Trump even tried to suspend Congress? The Democrats paint Trump as a tyrant when the real tyrant is north of the border.

Indeed, it was just last year when Trudeau told the New York Times that Canada was becoming a new kind of country, not defined by our history or European national origins, but by a “pan-cultural heritage” and actually said: “There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada.” Trudeau concluded that Canada is “the first post-national state.” Even the New York Times remarked that Trudeau was being very “radical.”

In truth, people who think the United Nations is not really threatening their future better open their eyes. Greta Thunberg, the Swedish climate activist, was flown into Alberta, Canada, just before the Canadian elections. Who paid for that? Gates, Schwab, World Economic Forum & the United Nations who want to seize control of Canada to cut off oil production. Trudeau is as corrupt as they come. He is selling out Canada to the United Nations and had the audacity to suspend Parliament. That is a dictatorship. His “first post-national state,” means subservient to the United Nations.

The real question is whether Alberta can extricate itself from this madness. I would expect  Trudeau to at least attempt to send in federal troops to suppress and attempt to withdraw. That that is the line that needs to be crossed to save the future of Canada. On July 1, 1867, with the passage of the British North America Act, the Dominion of Canada was officially established as a self-governing entity within the British Empire. A separatist movement may come to a head in 2021 in Canada. The Candian press has laid down all independence, and press conferences held by Trudeau are orchestrated to the point that nobody is allowed to ask any questions without pre-approval. We have a Panic Cycle next year in the C$. There remains the risk of me historic lows against the Greenback.

Biden’s False Claims About his Past – Are they Lies or Fantasies?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Sep 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The real question with Biden is we no longer know if he is lying or fantasizing about his past. Biden’s claim about attending historically black Delaware State has been refuted by the university itself. Biden declared last year that he began his academic career at Delaware State University, which is a historically black college. But the university flat outright says sorry — no way. The Democrats seem to need someone to be president to push their globalist agenda and to surrender sovereignty on climate to the United Nations. They even proposed to hand $3 trillion to the IMF to fund this globalist agenda. It just seems that any real president would never agree to such a thing regardless of their party. It is just becoming increasingly suspicious as to why the Democrats would put forward a man who might not be all there?

Boris Johnson & Bill Gates


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN

Re-Posted Sep 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

There are rising concerns that Boris Johnson fought for BREXIT so he could run into the arms of Bill Gates and the UN consortium including Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum pushing for this Globalist Agenda with even George Soros. Some are deeply concerned has Boris been bought by Gates? If someone demands an investigation, will Boris suspend Parliament as Trudeau did in Canada?

Appointees to the Supreme Court Are Not Required to Appear Before the Judiciary Committee under the Constitution


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Posted Sep 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
We now have this nonsense put forth by Schumer that McConnel is destroying the institution of the Senate by appointing a justice to the Supreme Court before the election. He is calling McConnel’s, equally absurd argument he made when Justice Antonin Scalia died in February of 2016 nine months before the election.

McConnel argued that President Barack Obama should not appoint a new justice because he couldn’t run again. The seat should not be filled in an election year, McConnel claimed and refused to hold hearings to consider Obama’s eventual nominee, Judge Merrick Garland. McConnell said that not since 1888 had the Senate confirmed a Supreme Court nominee by an opposing party’s President to fill a vacancy that arose in an election year.

To make this very clear, there is ABSOLUTELY no requirement by the Constitution to withhold a vacancy to the Supreme Court because of politics. This is not law, and it was not even a rule. It was politics.

Indeed, candidates for the Supreme Court never appeared before the Senate until 1925. They were reviewed solely on their qualifications with no questioning. So all this argument over destroying the institution of the Senate is also total nonsense. On January 5, 1925, President Calvin Coolidge had nominated Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone to a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court. Almost everyone agreed that Stone’s character, learning, and temperament eas excellent for the job. However, a complication arose that threatened Stone’s chances for an easy Senate confirmation. The source of the controversy was Senator Burton K. Wheeler, a progressive Democrat.

The previous year, Wheeler had launched an investigation to determine why Stone’s predecessor, Attorney General Harry Daugherty, had failed to prosecute government officials implicated in the Teapot Dome oil-leasing scandal. As a result of Wheeler’s probe, Daugherty resigned in March 1924.

After about a month in his new position as attorney general, Stone saw a federal grand jury in Montana indict Senator Wheeler on charges related to the conduct of his private law practice. Seeing the indictment as an effort to discredit his continuing investigation of the Justice Department, Wheeler asked the Senate to examine the charges against him. Following a two-month inquiry and without waiting for the Montana court to dispose of the case, the Senate outright exonerated Wheeler which of course was against the law to interfere in a legal matter of that nature.

The Wheeler case tormented Attorney General Stone for months. Influential friends of Wheeler urged Stone to drop both the Montana case and new information that led Wheeler’s opponents to seek a second indictment. Stone explained that he felt honor-bound to pursue the second indictment. Legally, this was absolutely correct. Stone made it clear that the Senate “is just not the place to determine the guilt or innocence of a man charged with crime.”

On January 24, 1925, five days after the Senate Judiciary Committee had recommended Stone’s confirmation, Senator Thomas Walsh—Wheeler’s Montana colleague and legal counsel, managed to convince the Senate to return the nomination to the committee for further review.

President Coolidge refused to withdraw the nomination. However, this was the background to these Senate appointments to the Supreme Court. It was Coolidge who agreed to an unprecedented compromise. He agreed to allow Stone to become the first Supreme Court nominee in history to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. On January 28, 1925, Stone’s performance during five hours of public session testimony cleared the way for his confirmation.

Senator Wheeler soon won the acquittal of all charges. Not until 1955, however, did the Senate Judiciary Committee routinely adopt the practice, based on the precedent established by the Stone nomination, of requiring all Supreme Court nominees to appear in person.

Schumer has called this the McConnel Rule because he said the next Supreme Court justice should be chosen by the next president when Scalia died. That was really no such rule and it was not the position of the Constitution – just politics. This illustrates my position that I believe Ben Franklin’s recommendation that appointments to the Supreme Court should be made by the American Bar Association – not politicians.  Ben Franklin wanted to create a legal system based upon the Scottish model where judges were nominated by lawyers and not politicians. He lost that argument and we have been paying dearly ever since.

Kings_Bench_(1808)

Most people assume that the Framers of the Constitution simply relied on the English judicial system. On the contrary, the Scottish judicial system provided an important component, although it remains overlooked even today. The Scottish system was part of the model for the Framing of Article III in crafting the Judiciary. Unlike the English system of overlapping and primarily original jurisdiction with Chancery (Equity) and the King’s Bench (law), the Scottish judiciary featured a hierarchical, appellate-style judiciary, with one supreme civil court sitting at the top and an array of inferior courts of original jurisdiction below.

We, unfortunately, blended Equity and Law into the same court which was a MAJOR mistake, yet the Scottish judiciary operated within a constitutional framework which we adopted. The corruption in the English judiciary was widespread. Charles Dickens wrote in his introduction to Bleak House;

“This is the Court of Chancery ..• Suffer any wrong that can be done you, rather than come here!“

Under the Constitution, Trump should be appointing the next Justice and NOW! What McConnel did before was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Personally, I believe we should adopt Ben Franklin’s model taken from Scotland. This claim that we should be voting for presidents to twist the law one way or another is in itself WRONG!

There are far too many aspects of the law that are NOT in the Constitution and the number one issue tearing the country apart is IMMUNITY they created for prosecutors and police which takes away any responsibility to act within the law. The abortion issue was founded on the Right to Privacy which is implicitly within the Constitution. However, then there is the definition of life to justify an abortion v murder. It becomes a fine line just as the legal age for sex. There has been a prosecution of an 18-year boy now labeled as a child molester because his girlfriend was under 18 and the father did not like the boy in Texas (see report). Unfortunately, these things tend to be arbitrary and decided by culture. The legal age varies greatly around the world from 12 to 18 with the United States being the highest.

Biden & the Ukrainian Corruption – But Who Cares?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption

Re-Posted Sep 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
The Senate Republicans have released a long-anticipated report that details Joe Biden’s alleged conflicts of interest when he was vice president and his son, Hunter Biden, was making millions with sweetheart business deals in Ukraine, Russia, and China. The report states that it wasn’t clear whether Hunter Biden’s lucrative appointment to the board of the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, actually affected the U.S. policy carried out by Biden. At least based upon Biden’s own comments, this has raised serious issues for some time.

 

Nevertheless, this document has cast new light on the Bidens’ suspicious business dealings. Democrats will never be moved by this any more than they were with Hillary’s brother getting a mining contract in Hati when he was not a miner.

The level of corruption in Washington with family members hauling in millions has been standard operating procedure. It’s more than a swamp — it’s an ocean. Die-hard voters never seem to care.
