London’s DAILY Driving Tax


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Sep 7, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has a firm grip on London. The WEF has warned us that they plan to ban private car ownership to save the world. All it takes is the stroke of a pen for these asinine ideas to become law. London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) law is not going as planned as the people are fighting back.

The new law charges drivers in high-traffic areas a £15 tax PER DAY to use their vehicle. It does not matter if you drive a Hummer or a Tesla; the government needs your money to save the environment. If you drive outside of a congested area, you will be subject to a £12.50 daily fine. People are already grappling with the cost of living crisis, but the government simply does not care. Londoners could pay up to £300 simply to drive to work or school and even those who live in the designated ULEZ zone cannot bypass the tax.

The government has installed CCTV cameras around the city to enforce the tax. A group called the Blade Runners has emerged and they are working to protect the public by removing these dystopian cameras. “There are 24 hours in a day. We either fight it or accept it. We do whatever we can,” said the activist when speaking to the Daily Mail. “What we will achieve by our actions is the removal of the infrastructure and waking up the sleeping masses to what is really going on.”

People are celebrating this group that has effectively dismantled over a quarter of CCTV cameras. The police are launching Operation Eremon as a counterattack but have not stated the exact penalties. Tory MP Iain Duncan Smith celebrates those who “cement up the cameras or put plastic bags over them.” Nigel Farage posted on X, “When laws become enemies of men, men become enemies of laws. I have been firmly told that in our area no ULEZ camera will stay up for very long.” The people are powerful when they come together – resistance is not futile.

The Freedom to Breathe Act  


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Sep 7, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The White House has announced that the President will be wearing a mask indoors again after the First Lady contracted COVID. “As far as the steps he is taking since the President was with the First Lady yesterday he will be masking while indoors and around people in alignment with CDC guidance,” Jean-Pierre stated. Yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has admitted that cloth masks have never been effective. Senator JD Vance of Ohio is now introducing legislation to ban politicians from implementing mask mandates.

The Freedom to Breathe Act would prevent the elites from forcing the public to wear masks for any reason. The proposed bill would:

  • Prohibit any federal official, including the President, from issuing an order requiring individuals to wear a mask or other face covering on any passenger flight in the U.S. national airspace system, on public transit, or in school (primary, secondary, and colleges);
  • Block Commercial Air Carriers, public transit authorities, and all educational institutions from refusing service to anyone who declines to wear a mask or other face covering;
  • Prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from requiring plane or train passengers and students to wear a mask or face covering in response to a public health emergency;
  • Restrict federal spending to propose, establish, implement, or enforce a mask requirement on airline and public transit passengers and students;
  • Require all agencies issue new and revised guidance within 90 days of enactment to implement the law and preempt all other laws or guidance contrary to the Act.

It will be hard to pass these bans in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Senator Ted Cruz attempted to introduce a similar bill in January called the No Mask Mandates Act of 2023. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the last mask mandate in April 2022 that would have required people to wear some form of fabric on half their faces on public transportation. But they were able to do so since Biden had recently declared an end to the COVID emergency, which he could and likely will bring back.

Each piece of media regarding a COVID resurgence is intended to test the waters. How will the public respond? Will they willingly submit? Fauci himself said he worries people will not obey the next round of mandates. They begin with mask mandates and make the jump to vaccines. We know they are producing a new vaccine for the fall, and if it is anything like the last go-around, they will be pushing propaganda to demonize the anti-vaxxers who they deem responsible for the entire pandemic.

President Trump Takes Commanding 50 Point Primary Lead at 62% – Gains Largest Polling Lead Against Biden 42/37


Posted originally on the CTH on September 7, 2023 | Sundance 

Premise Polling conducted by 538 Project [DATA HERE] shows President Donald Trump with a commanding 50-point lead over the rest of the field.   President Trump holds 62% of primary voters, while Ron DeSantis shrinks even further to 12%.   This poll, along with all the state polls show a similar trend pattern.  President would win all the delegates in the key primary states.

In a head-to-head matchup with only Trump and DeSantis, President Trump crushes the Florida Governor 67% to 24%.  The demographics are again consistent with Trump dominating every subset of voter and DeSantis holding tepid support from rich white men over 55, with graduate degrees who say they don’t follow politics.

This poll reflects an almost identical outcome to the Wall Street Journal polling released a few days ago.

Additionally, in this poll President Trump is easily beating Joe Biden 42/37, while Joe Biden beats Ron DeSantis 35/33.

There are too many aligned datapoints now showing almost identical outcomes.  This reality is likely why DeSantis PAC senior official Jeff Roe recently said the next 30 to 60 days were do or die for the DeSantis operation.  They are simply running out of money.

Fauci Worried People Won’t Obey Mask Mandates


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Sep 6, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Masks were ineffective. They forced us to cover half our face to appear in public for years. It had nothing to do with health and everything to do with being a mass social experiment to see how blindly the people would obey their laws. Anthony Fauci realizes that a second round of COVID restrictions will be much more difficult to manage as many have woken up to the fearmongering.

“I am concerned that people will not abide by [masking] recommendations,” Fauci said. “We’re not talking about mandates or forcing anybody, but when you have a situation where the volume of cases in society gets to a reasonably high level, the vulnerable, the elderly, those with underlying conditions, are going to be more susceptible, if they do get infected, of getting severe disease leading to hospitalization. We know that. That’s a fact,” Fauci told reporters at CNN.

Let us recall that Fauci was spotted at a super-spreader event, a baseball game, without a mask. All of those pushing for mandates were spotted breaking those very laws. He knows this is all a show. CNN was not even willing to comply as the reporter read Fauci a study published by the New York Times that discusses how useless masks and mask mandates have been. They even asked Fauci about the inconsistent studies regarding masks and how they should have never been mandated in the first place.

Typical Fauci babbled on about the science. He said that although masks may not protect individuals, they can still protect the public at large. Nothing he says makes sense. They are attempting to prepare us for another mass COVID outbreak. Interestingly, COVID seems to become a problem when we near elections, and some are calling it an “election virus.” Jill Biden has now come down with COVID after receiving every vaccination under the sun. They want the people to begin talking about how it must be spreading. The cat is already out of the bag, and we know the truth — masks do not work. We will not comply.

The Media Wants Us to Know That Jill Biden Has COVID – The Primary Election Variant


Posted originally on the September 5, 2023 | Sundance | 229 Comments

Does anyone really care?  I mean, HIPAA laws prohibit the public display of health information. So, when the people behind the wife of Joe Biden want to proclaim that she has the newest and fashionable variant of COVID, there’s generally a narrative engineering reason for it.

I’m sure Jill Biden will not be the last to promote their infected status, there’s certain to be a line of Hollywood and pop culture figures enlisted in the useful narrative.  However, it will be interesting to see just how many people play along this time.

WASHINGTON DC – First lady Jill Biden tested positive for Covid-19 Monday evening and is “currently experiencing only mild symptoms,” according to the White House.

The first lady, 72, will remain at her home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., her communications director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement. She has been vaccinated and received boosters. (read more)

CNN steps in with the narrative enhancement, “Jill Biden’s diagnosis comes amid renewed attention to Covid-19 as the world approaches the fourth virus season since the coronavirus arrived on the scene.  US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from earlier in the summer showed a slight increase in hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and positive Covid-19 tests – although not nearly as high as in past summers.”

Powerful Testimonial – President Trump’s Visit With Afghan Bombing Gold Star Families Described


Posted originally on the CTH on September 5, 2023 | Sundance 

This is not going to come as a surprise to most readers here, but this testimonial by Marlon Bateman deserves to be shared. This story reflects what the core of Donald Trump is about.

Marlon Bateman – “Last week, I had the honor to accompany several Gold Star parents to meet with President Trump in Bedminster. These parents lost their children when Abbey Gate was bombed in the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was orchestrated by Joe Biden.

While Biden continues to ignore these families’ requests for answers, President Trump listened to them, he mourned with them, and he was genuinely devastated for their loss. But he also mourned for the Country’s loss of these amazing Americans.”

One hour came and went quicker than anticipated. Our time with the President was up — or so I thought. Many families had requested President Trump sign photographs of their sons and daughters. He then proceeded to spend nearly two hours signing hats, books, and even a pair of red, white, and blue bedazzled pair of high heel shoes! He spent time with each individual family celebrating and learning about our 13 brave American heroes.

“After each family was done, they were escorted upstairs to dinner. We did not expect President Trump to join us, but to my surprise, he came up and joined us for dinner.

Everyone erupted in cheers as he walked in. Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless The U.S.A’ was blaring on the speakers. He proceeded to spend another couple of hours with us and even busted out an iPad to play songs for couples to slow dance to. He even went into his all-time favorite wrestling intros!

At that moment I could see the anxiety, stress, and anger that these parents had carried for so long disappear from their faces. It was a moment of peace. They were there to celebrate the heroes they raised. Their babies grew up to be the best our country had to offer, and they were getting some of the recognition they deserved.

As the night ended and President Trump gave his farewell, tears and overwhelming emotions could not be held back. He did something for these families that the current administration has refused to do and was incapable of doing — giving an overdue moment of recognition and solidarity for their children.

Not a bullshit statement from the White House, not John Kirby sending his deepest condolences on CNN, not Joe Biden continually glancing at his watch while the bodies of their children were carried off the tarmac. He gave them hope that accountability and justice will be coming. Our country owes it to their children to continue the pursuit for truth and accountability. We must continue to tell their stories and say their names.” (source)

Bill Gates: You Don’t Have a Choice


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Sep 5, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

“But you don’t have a choice. People act like you have a choice, you don’t have a choice,” Bill Gates proclaimed three years ago in regards to the mRNA vaccine. Gates, with no medical training, has not abandoned his lofty goal of altering the population through medical tyranny. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation websites discusses the Immunization Agenda 2030, a key piece to the overall agenda.

The Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) discusses the need for continued COVID-19 vaccines, despite numerous governments claiming the virus is no longer a cause for concern. “Moving forward, strong immunization systems will be needed to ensure that people everywhere are protected against COVID-19 and other diseases,” the website states. “Ensuring everyone receives the vaccines they need will provide exceptional return on investment and help keep the world safe from future pandemics.” They say the people have a “fundamental right” to vaccinations, but no right to medical independence.

What can vaccinations do, according to IA2030? They have the ability to completely eliminate poverty while contributing to a strong workforce. Vaccine manufacturing will also contribute to “national industrial infrastructure” in low to middle income economies. The vaccines can even combat climate change! “Immunization protects urban public health and interrupts disease transmission, ensuring sustainable cities and communities,” page 14 of the IA2030 document reads. The magical medicine can also solve gender equality! “Removal of gender-related barriers to vaccination contributes to gender equality, as it supports women’s full participation and equal opportunities for accessing health services.” Climate, gender, sustainability, equality – is there anything these vaccinations cannot do? I guess the biggest downfall of the COVID vaccine, in particular, is that it DOES NOT PREVENT TRANSMISSION OR INFECTION.

Gates stresses the importance of global cooperation by all governments. There will be more vaccines as this program is designed to “accelerate the development of new vaccines,” meaning more experimental jabs will appear on the market without proper testing. There will also be global stakeholders behind these vaccines who will ensure that their investments are secured by pushing the larger Agenda 2030. “You act like you have a choice!” Yes, I do, and I will not risk my life for Gates and his globalist stakeholders who want us to abandon medical autonomy for profit.

New York City Recommending Masks Again, New COVID Variant


Posted originally on the CTHSeptember 1, 2023 | Sundance 

There has been increasingly visible media promotion of various municipalities reinstituting mask recommendations to battle a new BA.2.86 covid variant.

Today, the New York City Dept of Health became the latest large metropolitan area to recommend the return to face masks; however, no government mandates yet.

[…] Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, along with other proven prevention tools – like masking, testing, and staying home when sick – continue to be our best defense against COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. (link)

QUESTION: Are you starting to see increased emphasis on mask wearing in/around your local area?
