A Generational Challenge that Begins at Home


Posted originally on the CTH on November 28, 2023 | Sundance 

Sometimes I am required by disposition to drop to my knees in thankful and appreciative prayer for the intellectual and honest fellowship on these pages; this is one of those times.

When I describe the nature of our affiliation to those in similar networks, some of those you would likely call familiar, I am often asked why I spend so much time reviewing the commenting section of our diverse conversation on the porch. My answer is the same as the repeated emphasis I provided to those who rescued us from the Big Tech deplatforming effort… “the conversation is the point.”

You are the absolute best group of online people assembled. PERIOD. You are what makes me smile, feel optimistic, feel encouraged and positive about the future amid the whirlwind of chaos generated by the professional political class. Quite simply, you.. that’s right, YOU, are the modern WE THE PEOPLE. Feel good about that as you look at the person you see in the mirror when you brush your teeth. Give yourself credit, you are awesome.

An incredible conversation starts with one simple and profoundly interesting point from Lorrie

“I teach humanities in a public middle school. The history portion of the curriculum is the study of ancient civilizations. I NEVER espouse either my personal religious or political views — ever!

Yesterday I asked my students to write down — as a quick write– what they knew about our current government– who is in charge… how does it work…

NADA. Zilch.

These kids write every single day in my class.

Many left the paper blank.

Most said, “I don’t know anything about our government.” A few mentioned who the president is.

Hmmmm…..

Ten years ago, I had students yammering their opinions on all sorts of political topics. I realize that usually they were parroting what they hear from family members.

Today, silence.”

Big wisdom follows from Paul:

“I don’t put it on the kids because in your original post you mention that 10 years ago, kids yammered away with opinions. Something shifted. It’s why I asked the question.

This tells me they are not hearing it at home. Their parents are not talking about it. Nor are others around them. Then they spend hours upon hours on their phones on social media.

They are isolated and being manipulated. They just don’t know it. And their parents ignore it because they too, more than likely, have been swallowed by the Borg.

Sad times.”

A simple response, with just as profound an affirmation from Oscar:

“Sad to confirm Paul but everything you say is true and has swallowed up my 20 yo daughter. The self isolation and 100% reliance on her phone for information is beyond disturbing to me. I pay for her phone because it helps her keep her job. I’m seriously thinking of pulling the plug and forcing her to pay phone expenses.

I speak with her regularly regarding current events, Gaza, Biden, etc. but have a hard time staying calm. She doesn’t read anything other than what’s spoon fed her through her iphone. She has zero historical context or background for any of her communist inspired rhetoric. She is completely manipulated. Her two brothers are complete MAGA and know what’s happening.

Her older sister is Lib and will not change due to peer pressure among the elite crowd in NYC that she works and socializes with. Obviously, my experience has been much tougher with my two daughters. I used to believe that a liberal is a future conservative once they age, pay taxes and are mugged by reality. My daughter in NYC has been mugged once by herself visiting DC and again in DC with her hyper lib, former college roommate (all within the last 18 months) and they both are still Lib. I will never give up on them. I constantly send them conservative, logical articles (VDH is a favorite) and I always try to lead by example.”

Please, if you are so inclined, let us continue this conversation in this breakout post.

There is large value within this discussion and trust me – I, along with millions of like-minded mules, some with a profound reach and beyond your imagining importance, read every single word with contemplation, introspection and appreciation.

♦ Last point. When you drop a stone into a pond a ripple is created. The ripple expands in an ever-increasing circle. Once you drop the stone, there is no way to reverse the process of the ripple expanding. Such is the pond of life and ultimately the love, wisdom and value you drop within it.

This simple fellowship we call The Conservative Treehouse exists, because of you – not me, YOU.

You are the point.

You are the value.

You are the gift.

Feel that…. along with my profound appreciation for your incredible value.

Love to all.

Steadfast,

Study Examines Deaths After COVID Vaccination


Posted originally on Nov 28, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Vaccines 1

A team of researchers wanted to review whether COVID-19 vaccine adverse events were linked to an increase in morbidity. The team looked at published necropsy and autopsy reports related to the COVID vaccine, and identified 678 studies including 44 papers containing 325 autopsy and necropsy cases. Three physicians peer-reviewed these deaths to determine if the vaccine played a role.

The study found a “high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-10 vaccines and death in most cases.” The COVID-19 vaccine developed under Operation Warp Speed was the fastest vaccination initiative in history. Released only 11 months after COVID-19 was first identified, no one knew the long or short-term implications.

“All utilize mechanisms that can cause serious adverse events; most involve the uncontrolled synthesis of the spike glycoprotein (SP) as the basis of the immunological response. Circulating SP is the likely deleterious mechanism through which COVID-19 vaccines produce adverse effects and /or subunits/peptide fragments can trigger ACE2 receptor degradation and internalization, which may also cause destabilization of the renin–angiotensin system(RAS), resulting in possible enhanced inflammation, vasoconstriction, and thrombosis. SP activates platelets, causes endothelial damage, and directly promotes arterial and venous thrombosis. Moreover, immune system cells that have taken up the lipidnanoparticles (LNPs) then release them back into the circulation with elevated numbers of exosomes containing microRNAs that play a role in inducing a signaling response in recipient cells at distant sites, resulting in severe inflammatory consequences. Further, long term cancer control may be jeopardized in those injected with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines because of IRF7 and IRF9 suppression. There is a distinct potential of a causal link between SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination andneurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell’s palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, impaired DNA damage response and tumorigenesis.”

The Australian government provided the researchers with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) document that shows mRNA (BNT162) flows through the body for over 48 hours after injection. A spike in glycoprotein (SP) was seen during rat studies and impacts numerous vital organs. VAERS reported over 1.5 million adverse events through May 5, 2023, including 35,324 deaths, 26,928 cases of  myocarditis and pericarditis, 19,546 heart attacks, and 8,701 thrombocytopenia.

“If the alarmingly high number of reported deaths are indeed causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination, the implications could be immense, including: the complete withdrawal of all COVID-19 vaccines from the global market, suspension of all remaining COVID-19 vaccine mandates and passports, loss of public trust in government and medical institutions, investigations and inquiries into the censorship, silencing and persecution of doctors and scientists who raised these concerns, and compensation for those who were harmed as a result of the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. Using VAERS data alone to establish a causal link between COVID-19 vaccination and death, however, is not possible due to many limitations and confounding factors.”

Indeed, the findings of this study could cause upheaval. It would destroy the narrative that the government must monitor and drug us to save the world from a health crisis. Based on the autopsies studies, 53% of deaths were due to a failure in the cardiovascular system, followed by hematological (17%), respiratory (8%), multiple organ systems (7%), neurological (4%), immunological (3%), and gastrointestinal (1%). Most deaths occurred within a week from the patient’s last vaccination.

Although the study falls short of directly blaming the vaccine, it does note that three independent doctors found that 73.9% of the studied deaths were thought to be “significantly linked” to the vaccine. They were never safe or effective, and yet our governments continue to push this poison into our systems.

Moms For America Endorses President Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on November 27, 2023 | Sundance 

Moms for America is a dedicated advocacy group for women and children against the modern cultural Marxists.  Today they endorsed President Donald Trump for 2024.

[Endorsement Link] – […] What we need most right now are leaders who will protect the Constitution, defend the family, and stand for truth and commonsense even when it isn’t popular to do so. We need leaders who are not afraid to fight for what’s right, who will defend the Constitution and put America first. That is why Moms for America Action is endorsing Donald Trump for president.

Donald Trump has already proven himself the leader we need in these turbulent times. As president, Donald Trump was a steadfast champion for moms. He took action to keep our children safe in schools by rescinding Barack Obama’s co-ed bathroom policy – in his first week in office. He reduced taxes and cut regulations to ease the burden on hard-working American families. He instituted policies that allowed America to achieve true energy independence for the first time in half a century, slashing the prices of gas and electricity to the benefit of moms and their families.

Donald Trump was also the first sitting president ever to attend the March For Life, where he honored mothers as heroes and acknowledged the indispensable role we play in raising America’s children to become the next generation of patriots to lead this country.

That is why Moms for America Action enthusiastically endorses Donald Trump for President of the United States. He is a proven leader who has already demonstrated that he will stand up for freedom and fight for American values, even when he is viciously attacked for doing so.

As mothers, there is nothing more important to us than a free America where our children can thrive and are free to pursue their American dream.  Moms need a champion like Donald Trump back in the White House, defending our families, protecting our freedoms, and renewing hope for our children.

A Hero’s Welcome – President Trump Upstages Nikki Haley in South Carolina at Palmetto Bowl


Posted originally on the CTH on November 25, 2023 | Sundance

President Trump knows how to deliver the political optics that diminish the competition, and his appearance at the South Carolina Palmetto Bowl did exactly that to Nikki Haley.

(Via Daily Mail) – [President Trump] “received a warm welcome from fans in South Carolina as he took his seat at Williams-Brice Stadium for the school’s rivalry football matchup with Clemson.

The 5-6 Gamecocks are hosting the 7-4 Tigers in the conservative-leaning state that former US President Trump won in both 2016 and 2020. But while the bulk of voters in South Carolina are Republicans, USC happens to be in Richland county, which overwhelmingly voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

However, the fans in attendance at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday night still appeared pleased to see him, with footage on social media showing Trump earning cheers as he takes his seat in the stands.

The 77-year-old can be seen waving to the crowd before the Palmetto State rivalry game, where he is hoping to upstage his Republican opponent Nikki Haley on her home turf. (more)

As Politico noted, “this week’s NBC News poll had a stunning result: Trump led Biden among voters younger than 35, 46 percent to 42 percent.”

COVID-23 First Announced


Posted originally on Nov 26, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

DailyMail.ChinaMASKS2023

Here we go again – the World Health Organization has requested information from China in regard to a new respiratory illness and clusters of pneumonia in children. Chinese authorities are blaming the lack of COVID-19 regulations/lack of continued government control in the name of public health. The WHO said that the “influenza-like illness” is comparable to the beginning of COVID-19.

Coronavirus Cycle

The WHO first identified COVID-19 in January 2020, after China alerted the agency to the virus on December 31, 2019. Three years later and we are witnessing the same events unfold. Some are now calling this newly identified virus “COVID-23.” The WHO was first alerted on November 21, 2023, and began requesting detailed information from China the following day. It is not currently known if the COVID-23 virus is affiliated with the clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia among children in northern China.

And yet again, the international community is blaming China for a lack of transparency. The “science” community has the exact same questions. Did it spread from animal-to-human interaction? How does this virus spread? Is there a known cure?

USPS Exempt From COVID

This is not looking good people. I reported that places like New York are already implementing the harshest quarantine laws imaginable. Airports have already begun ramping up screenings for international travelers. Europe will prohibit free travel for non-EU citizens in 2025. Best of all the 2024 US Presidential election is one year away, Biden is polling in negative territory, and the globalists and neocons insist on keeping him in office. All of the cards are aligning for the elite to implement the second COVID plan-demic, but this time they will not give up control.

Travel and Site Update


Posted originally on the CTY on November 25, 2023 | Sundance 

Completely unrelated to the Thanksgiving holiday, overall travel is a hot mess.  After a 5-hour delay and connections missed, I end up spending the night in EWR (Newark), writing this and waiting for a Saturday morning flight home.  I look forward to a hot shower and the ordinary comforts of homebase.

Over the next several weeks there will be a lot of background context to share as things unfold and we enter the phase of importance for the end of 2023 and the beginning of ’24.

I think we all know the scale of government control we are about to witness will be the largest in modern history.

There are seemingly no boundaries any longer, nothing that would constrain the political left and their increasing desperation, and that is a rather alarming self-admission to take.

However, despite the severity of the opposition we often discuss, I am very optimistic about what will take place over the next six months.  There is a new level of acceptance that seems to have finally become the pragmatic sensibility.  Things are changing; and ultimately for the better.

People reviewing polls are starting to ask what is happening because the scale of Donald Trump’s lead over Joe Biden has never been more significant.  One of the remarkable aspects to the 2024 RFK Jr effort is how people can see through the schemes now, and it looks like President Trump won’t even have to address Kennedy directly.

The negative impacts from globalist economic and financial constructs are everywhere, and people around the world have new eyes and a new understanding.  Look at the election results in Argentina and Holland; people have been able to connect the dots and see how these globalist constructs are impacting their life.   In sum, this is a very good thing to see unfold.

Perhaps for the first time in decades, the mid-tier (middle class) awakening is not only there – but it is also “there” on a global scale.  It is harder now for the multinationals and their paid political operatives to hide the strings….

President Trump Thanksgiving Message


Posted originally on the CTH on November 23, 2023 | Sundance 

It should serve as a source of inspiration to know there is a great deal of work taking place in the background of the U.S. political system by people and groups outside the DC network.

For several years CTH has been discussing the futility of expecting elected political officials to deconstruct the corrupt administrative state, and the support network therein, from the inside.   In the past several weeks the alignment of activity outside the beltway -independent state and private sector pushback- is starting to deliver results.   Be of good cheer, live your very best life and keep faith in a loving God who shields the righteous.

…”This is a difficult time for our country, but do not lose heart or lose hope because by the time we celebrate next Thanksgiving, our nation will be well on its way to being stronger, safer, more prosperous and greater than ever before.”

~Donald J Trump

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Trump Leads GOP Primary Field With 67%, Dominates Biden +8 and Harris +12


Posted originally on the CTH on November 20, 2023 | Sundance

An interesting follow-up poll from Harvard Harris [DATA HERE] shows the continued strength of the Trump MAGA base against the field of GOP/Dem candidates and useful idiots.

With Donald Trump holding a commanding 67% lead over all other GOP candidates, one must ask why they remain in the nomination process without being able to break single digits.  The answer to that question reveals their corporate agenda.

[DATA HERE]

Remarkably on page 25 of the poll the results show Kamala Harris is the most favored candidate to replace Joe Biden for the 2024 nomination.   Harris holds 24% as the replacement for the DNC nomination.

However, on page 33 of the poll, the question of Trump -vs- Harris is asked and President Trump handedly crushes Kamala Harris 52% to 40%.

Be of good cheer….  The nominee coming out of the DNC convention is unlikely to be Joe Biden.  However, as this poll reflects, even the substitute will start with an uphill battle.

Wuhan Lab Scientists Conducting Bat Experiments in America


Posted originally on Nov 20, 2023 By Martin Armstrong |  

Biological Weapons

A group of scientists associated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is reportedly using taxpayer funds to import bats and conduct Ebola experiments in the United States. The project, led by Colorado State University (CSU) virologist Greg Ebel, has raised concerns among lawmakers due to its association with the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), which previously provided funding to the WIV for bat-based coronavirus research.

Americans will pay the bill for this reckless research center in Colorado to the tune of $6.7 million. Why? Ebola is certainly not an issue in America and we have the capacity to treat the virus. The use of taxpayer money for these experiments has drawn attention in light of previous controversies surrounding the funding of bat coronavirus research. This development has reignited discussions about the potential risks and ethical considerations associated with such research initiatives.

Biden Closes WUHAN

The plan to ship countless bats from around the world to the US and infect them with an array of contagious diseases. The GOP is demanding that the NIH end all federal funding to EcoHealth. Scientist Greg Ebel insists the lab is not intended for malicious purposes. “This isn’t a bat COVID lab. It’s not a bioweapons lab. We’re not working with Ebola or Nipah virus or any of these things. I’m not interested in losing my job or going to jail or interested in doing research that’s going to carry home pathogens to my wife or my child. Those kinds of things are beyond ridiculous,” he told reporters.

Wuhan Gain of Function

So we just experienced a pandemic caused by an “accidental lab leak” from China, and now they want to open a lab here with US tax dollars. This is an absolute attack on America from within. Take these experiments to an isolated corner of the world and use Big Pharma dollars to fund the studies as they are the ones who will profit.
