Just Say No


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Feb 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I have stated that my cousin was a front-line nurse. She caught COVID and got over it. The hospital made her get the vaccine. After the first dose, she had a stroke. Fortunately, she has recovered. She has now refused the second dose. Another friend whose son-in-law works in a hospital was ordered to take the vaccine. He was in his 30s. He ended up violently ill for about one week. This entire drive to mandate vaccinations is political. The death toll is less than 0.02% compared to nearly 4% for the 1918 Spanish Flu. This very dangerous man is saying that 75% of Americans need to be vaccinated before we can return to normal.

We also have Fauci now appearing with the World Economic Forum promo for the Great Reset now saying “inequality” has to be fixed. Where is this in his portfolio of expertise? Those who claim anyone who is against him is a conspiracy nut is very curious because they are refusing to tell the truth about anything. Nearly 40% of the people in France and 23% in Germany say they definitely or probably will not get vaccinated against Covid-19, as reported by the Guardian. In Italy, it was 12% and in the UK it was 14%. Over in the Netherlands, it was at 17%. Meanwhile, 57% of people from minority ethnic backgrounds say they will get the vaccine.

Then we have the Biden Adinitration saying even if you are vaccinated, you still must wear a mask and social-distance. So what is the point of the vaccination?

Fauci made it clear at the outset that a mask will not prevent you from getting the disease. Indeed, when I went to the doctor and said I did not even know anyone with COVID, they said I could have gotten it from pumping my own gas. These people av deliberately destroyed the economy for climate purposes – not for a virus.

Now we have Mark Carney who previously served as the Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 until 2013, and was the Governor of the Bank of England until March 2020, come out and said that more people will die from Climate Change than COVID so it is a far greater crisis. Carney is an economist and a favorite at the WEF. Every person who is coming out about this is tied one way or another to the WEF.

However, we then have Biden’s climate czar who tells us we will NEVER return to normal. I am sorry. The one thing I have come to understand is that those in government NEVER tell the truth. This virus has been used for political purposes because they follow Schwab’s global agenda to end capitalism as we know

Kerry is a Davos-Man. What he is saying is that we need to surrender sovereignty to the United Nations becau7se no single country can fight climate change. This is why Schwab says in his promo that the United States will no longer be a superpower – it will be shared and controlled by the Uni8ted Nations which is George Soros’ dream.

Schwab now has his strategic placement in all Western countries and the destruction of jobs and the Great Reset is in motion without even allowing the world population to vote on the changing of the world economy. They expect miners to suddenly manufacture solar panels, yet there is no consideration if there is even such employment available in their area. Do these people have to sell their homes and migrate in hopes of finding a job? It is easy for these elites to just come together and pontificate when they have never worked with their hands or ever had to really work for a living in the real world.

They have turned Washington into a military fortress. They claim it was to prevent Trump supporters from invading again. That did not happen, so now they will continue to remain they are staying into March because of the Trump Impeachment trial. I seriously doubt we will see Washington itself ever return to normal. Biden is even now promoting that Washington DC should be admitted as the 51st state.

The Patriots are no longer in Washington. They are the enemy from Washington’s perspective. Unfortunately, the computer will be right to my disappointment. The USA will break up and will never be the land of freedom ever again. What these people are doing is tearing down every piece of fabric that once made the United States the land of opportunity and the beacon of liberty in the world.

You may think that what we are going through is unique. History repeats because the corruption in government always unfolds. This quote that people have been attributing to Plato for 150 years or so, but I cannot locate in his works. It appears to have been made up by a man running for president in 1872. George Francis Train campaigned to become President of the United States, and a collection of his speeches was published under the title “The People’s Candidate for President, 1872.” Accordingly, Train caused quite a sensation when he said this quotation.  What is interesting is that this did reflect the sentiment at the time. It did not fit Plato since he was the one running schools in Athens back then. Nevertheless, we could make it up again today and once more call it strange times when anyone who disagrees with CNN should be taken off the air and labeled as a conspiracy theorist.

The Devastation of Lockdowns – Freedom is now a Luxury


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics R-Posted Feb 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

When we look at 2020, it will be a year most prefer to forget. Overall, productivity decreased 4.8% in Q4 2020 while unit labor costs increase sharply by 6.8% (annual rates) which is fulfilling what Socrates has been forecasting that this wave into 2024 will be inflationary. The December 2020 jobless rate was up over the year in 379 of 389 metro areas while what was really interesting is that payroll jobs were down in 232 metro areas.  When we turn to compensation costs, that rose by 0.7% from September 2020 to December 2020 and it was up 2.5% over the year ending Dec 2020. Meanwhile, Gross job losses 20.4 million and gross job gains 5.7 million in the 2nd quarter of 2020. (see Bureau of Labor Statistics).

To put this in proportion, the total employment in government is about 21 million (Federal, State, Local). Therefore, the proportion of the UNPRODUCTIVE workforce is staggering (unemployed + government). The total civil workforce is about 160.57 million people in the United States. Therefore, the total UNPRODUCTIVE portion of the civil workforce is really comparable to 1932 and is now standing at about 25%. (far fewer people worked for the government in 1932 pre-New Deal)

The damage of the lockdowns which are really for climate change since Florida had fewer deaths with minimal lockdowns compared to New York which was virtually imprisonment. There are many studies showing lockdowns have failed. Freedom has become a luxury for the elite exclusively. Washington has been militarized because they fear a revolution when the sleeping sheep awake that this Great Reset is all about transforming capitalism into full-blown socialist authoritarianism and changing our way of life by incremental lockdowns that always manage to be extended.

Our greatest problem is that these world leaders are deliberately destroying the Western Economy and are clueless as to even how you would build back better and how long will it take to create this fictional world that they have been sold coming out of the World Economic Forum orchestrated by academics with no practice experience to accomplish something that has NEVER been done since the failure of Marx and his utopian vision of Communism. Who will direct the build back? Bureaucrats with also no practical experience.

Those who have questioned our computer forecasting the shift from the West to Asia and China will become the #1 world economy and the new Financial Capital of the World, better wake up and smell the coffee. Our computer will be ABSOLUTELY correct and this is by no means my personal desire nor opinion. If you want to prove me wrong – then get off your ass and be heard. Otherwise, start learning Mandarin.

Where Have All Ethics Gone?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ethics Re-Posted Feb 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: You don’t suppress treatments, touted by frontline doctors, that have a very high success rate in a real pandemic.
That the AMA still hasn’t rescinded its stance, after some people say it did, is being almost celebrated by the media “fact-checkers” who don’t want to know the truth, instead of seeing how damning that would actually be.
I guess like many politicians, doctors, and journalists they are trapped within their own lying system. The father of all lies would be proud of them!

REPLY: I know a pulmonary specialist in a major hospital and they do use the recommendations of the Frontline Doctors. He told me that was all they had to help patients.

The Fraud Behind Greta Thunberg


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Feb 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Now that Klaus Schwab has put the Climate as part of his Agenda 2030, his inclusion of Greta Thunberg in the film that was supposed to celebrate his 50th Anniversary, The Forum, was the debut of his sinister plan for creating the Great Reset. For the climate urgency, he handed Greta center stage.

Al Gore is linked with Greenpeace’s Jennifer Morgan and since Al Gore has been on the board of the World Economic Forum, the plan to “invite” both Greta and Greenpeace was strategic.

I have previously warned that Greta Thunberg has been a puppet. From people who were at Davos, I was told that it appeared that Greta was just reading scripts that were written for her allegedly by Greenpeace’s Jennifer Morgan and Al Gore or at least with his approval.

Greta traveled to Davos with Greenpeace. I seriously doubt that all her expenses were paid by her parents. It has been well known that Greta Thunberg had severe depression issues, but she has been allegedly manipulated by not just Greenpeace, but by Schwab as well. Greta’s parents supported her activism as “medicine” for her depression. The Telegraph has revealed that this child has been really abused and exploited by Greenpeace’s Jennifer Morgan and Al Gore. Her father, Svante Thunberg, publicly acknowledges that he and his wife were “not climate activists” but made radical green changes to their lives as they saw the impact it had on their daughter’s mental health.

It comes as no surprise that Time Magazine would name Greta person of the year without ever bothering to investigate if she has been nothing more than a puppet used to sell climate change which is a major part of this “Build Back Better” agenda that is orchestrated from the World Economic Forum and now we have world leaders all reading the same script. Then there are the claims that Greta delivered her famous UN speech to an empty room remains suspicious. There are no photographs to prove there was an audience nor did anyone take a photo to show the room was empty.

When Greta speaks without a script, the difference becomes shocking.

Now the puppet agenda is surfacing with India launching a Criminal Investigation into her handlers. Greta accidentally shared a message showing she was getting told what to write on Twitter about the ongoing violent farmer uprising in India. Greta quickly deleted the post that detailed a list of “suggested posts” about the ongoing protests. The list provided a series of tips on what to post and went as far as to request Greta to also repost and tag other celebrities tweeting about it, which included the pop star, Rihanna. The “toolkit” she shared also suggested highlighting planned demonstrations at Indian embassies.

The material leaked by Greta by mistake was created by Canada’s Poetic Justice Foundation. They claim to be a grassroots group creating events to provoke, challenge and disrupt systemic inequities and biases.  The group’s website confirms it is “most actively involved in the #FarmersProtest.” The Delhi Police will file an FIR against the creators of the tool kit shared by Greta Thunberg on her Twitter account.  They have now accused  Greta of creating disharmony and for being a part of a larger conspiracy. Greta tweeted “We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India.” She had also shared “a toolkit for those who want to help”. She stated: “Here’s a toolkit if you want to help.” The tool kit takes the user to a document that contains several strategies to support the protest.

It would be great to see criminal charges and orders for extradition. Then there is the traditional prisoner’s dilemma. They spill the beans to save themselves. That would be the only way to break into this global conspiracy and expose once and for all the players behind using Greta as a pawn in this global leftist game to take over the world with Communism 3.0 or an Authoritarian Socialist regime.

Schumer and McConnell Agree to Senate Impeachment Trial Rules


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 8, 2021 by Sundance

The Senate trial of former President Donald Trump should be an exercise in futility; there is no constitutional framework to impeach a former president.  However , that said, when both wings of the UniParty bird are working in mutually beneficial alignment, anything can happen.  [Senate Trial Rules – Impeachment #2 HERE]

Senators Schumer and McConnell have agreed to a set of rules for the impeachment trial.  The rules will be voted on tomorrow, along with an initial set of four hours of arguments on the constitutionality of the entire fiasco beginning… and then a vote.

WASHINGTON DC – The agreement between Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in conjunction with the House impeachment managers and Trump’s lawyers, will allow up to four hours of arguments on Tuesday about the constitutionality of putting a former president on trial. The Senate will then vote on whether the trial is constitutional. (more)

Assuming the trial goes forward… Then beginning Wednesday, each side will have up to 16 hours to lay out their case, spread out over two days per side. Senators will then have four hours to pose questions to the House managers and Trump’s attorneys.

Jaw-Dropping Audacity, James Clapper Says President Trump Used Classified Information “To Target Political Enemies”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 8, 2021 by Sundance

The sheer audacity of James Clapper in this segment is jaw-dropping.

After the former ODNI participated in weaponization of the entire intelligence apparatus specifically to target Donald Trump as a candidate and President, James Clapper now says that JoeBama should not give President Trump classified information because he “has used it to attack political enemies” in the past. WATCH:

CONTEXT – Keep in mind that James Clapper was an active, albeit rather stupid, participant in the targeting of Lt. General Michael Flynn.  It was Clapper who asked FBI Director James Comey on January 4th for the raw “CR Cuts” of Flynn’s conversation with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.  Clapper then took those raw transcript segments into the oval office to brief President Obama.  [Full Backstory Below]

When Clapper walked into the Oval Office with those transcripts January 4, 2017, he destroyed any opportunity for the Obama White House to say they did not know there was an FBI investigation of incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.  However, the media ignored the evidence of the Obama lies when the truth finally surfaced, May 2020.

On January 5, 2017, President Obama and Susan Rice were discussing incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn with FBI Director James Comey. The motive for Susan Rice to write the January 20, 2017, memo to file becomes clear.  Here’s the paragraph:

Within this paragraph we find the motive for writing it (emphasis mine):

“Director Comey affirmed that he is proceeding “by the book” as it relates to law enforcement.” … “Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak.”  “Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing senssitive information.”  “President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn.”  “Comey replied “potentially.””  “He added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted that “the level of communication is unusual.”

Remember, the position of President Obama and Susan Rice is that they were unaware of any FBI investigation of Flynn (or the Trump campaign); nor did they have any involvement in directing it to take place.

The content of this January 5th meeting makes the first part of their claim challenging to accept.   Thus the need for Susan Rice to cover for it.

Here’s the full memo in context (including the redacted paragraph):

A day or two prior to this meeting DNI James Clapper briefed President Obama on the nature of the call between Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Michael Flynn.

James Clapper received raw “intelligence cuts” about the call from FBI Director James Comey and used them to brief President Obama.

It gets very sticky for the Obama white house to claim they didn’t know about, nor direct, an FBI investigation of Michael Flynn given the fact they were briefed on the intercepted phone communications conveyed by the FBI, via Clapper, to President Obama.

If the FBI wasn’t investigating Flynn, then why were they intercepting his calls?

Understandably President Obama and NSA Susan Rice would be worried about being attached to a potentially very unlawful investigation of the incoming administration and NSA Michael Flynn; hence the ‘stay behind’ meeting.

As a result of prior briefing material President Obama knew the FBI was monitoring and intercepting Flynn’s communication. The aspect of Obama questioning Comey about sharing sensitive information from Flynn; and Comey’s response; points to Obama/Rice knowledge of an FBI operation against Flynn.   An FBI operation against Flynn (and Trump) that Susan Rice knows she needs to specifically claim she and Obama did not know about.

From a hindsight perspective it gets very sticky for Obama/Rice to deny knowledge with that 1/5/17 meeting content in the fray. That’s the purpose of the Jan 20th CYA memo to file.  Think about it:

Question:  Ms Rice how can you claim to have no knowledge of an FBI investigation when the FBI was providing the White House FBI with intercepts of Flynn communication?

Are you saying the FBI intercepts were not authorized by President Obama?

Rice’s CYA memo is attempting to say exactly that.  She’s pinning FBI Director James Comey as “rogue.”

Without the memo FBI Director James Comey could claim President Obama and Susan Rice were well aware of the FBI’s Flynn operation.  With the memo Obama/Rice position themselves as having no idea until Comey started talking…

That’s the purpose for the memo; Obama & Rice protecting themselves from Comey if things go sideways.

To further illustrate this intent, it’s worth remembering the letter from Susan Rice’s lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler to the Senate:

Note the second to last paragraph, it’s all about denying knowledge of FBI operations, writ large, against the Trump campaign or incoming administration.

When James Clapper walked directly into the White House with “intelligence cuts” specifically from the FBI to share with President Obama, it’s likely the legal team around Obama -specifically including Kathryn Reummler- went bananas.

James Clapper was always a doofus, but usefully so.  However, in this context doofus Clapper -with his FBI cuts in hand- just infected the White House with direct knowledge of an ongoing FBI investigation of the incoming administration.  In that briefing Clapper just walked over their carefully assembled plausible deniability like an ox in the oval. D’oh.

The ‘pull aside’ meeting immediately thereafter, January 5th, was Obama and Susan Rice cleaning up the mess and reassembling their plausible deniability.

The January 20th Susan Rice memo-to-file was supportive material for that intention.

L-R: Kathryn Ruemmler, President Obama, Lisa Monaco, Susan Rice

.

Lastly, it does not go unnoticed the purpose for the original redaction in the Susan Rice memo.  The DOJ/FBI and intelligence administrators were trying to keep James Comey protected; and maintain the offensive effort toward the Trump administration.

Imagine if that memo had been released in 2017 or 2018?… the sunlight would have been unbearable for a multitude of ongoing narratives.  Mueller could never have attempted to prosecute Flynn in 2017 against the backdrop of a known FBI investigation to target and frame Michael Flynn.This entry was posted in 1st Amendment, Big Government, Big Stupid Government, Cold Anger, Conspiracy ?, Decepticons, Deep State, Donald Trump, FBI, media bias, Notorious Liars, President Trump, Professional Idiots, propaganda, Spygate, Spying, Susan Rice, THE BIG UGLY, Typical Prog Behavior, Uncategorized, White House Coverup.

Another DeceptiCon Taps Out, Senator Richard Shelby (AL) Announces He Will Not Run for Reelection


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 8, 2021 by Sundance

The number of republican senators not running for reelection just gained another name today. Senators Richard Burr (NC), Ron Johnson (WI), Pat Toomey (PA), and Rob Portman (OH) previously stated they were not going to seek reelection; now Senator Richard Shelby (AL) makes the same announcement.

They know the American electorate can see both wings of the UniParty vulture now.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said on Monday that he would not run for reelection in 2022.

“Today I announce that I will not seek a seventh term in the United State Senate in 2022. For everything, there is a season,” Shelby said in a statement.

“Although I plan to retire, I am not leaving today. I have two good years remaining to continue my work in Washington. I have the vision and the energy to give it my all,” the 86-year-old senator added.  (read more)

In the 2022 Senate races there are 34 seats up for grabs.  14 are held by Democrats and 20 are held by tenuous Republicans.  [Breakdown Here] Due to vulnerability, their lack of support amid the republican base, and their insufferable 2020 behavior outing them as DeceptiCons it is almost guaranteed the GOP will lose seats in the 2022 mid-term election.

Things amid the DeceptiCon caucus are getting interesting.  With five GOP senators having announced they’re not running (Burr, Johnson, Toomey, Portman, Shelby) there’s essentially zero chance of the GOP retaking control of the Senate in 2022.  [20 R seats up & only 14 D seats that are in solid D strongholds] it is far more likely the Democrats will gain seats, so keep this in mind…. 

…When we think about forming a third party, the “you will split the vote” crew always peddles their vote split narrative.  However, the GOP doesn’t have a chance in hell to win 2022 given what the base of the Republicans think about these senate DeceptiCons now.

There has never been a better time for a New Party to launch and capture three or four seats from the retiring GOPe crew.  It would be great to see true MAGA representatives that can caucus with Republicans but hold ground on America First principles.

Oh, and someone needs to primary Lisa Murkowski again.

Circle Back Jen


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics.com FEB 4, 2021 AT 9:56 AMUnlocked

Jen Psaki is a career political hack. She worked as deputy press secretary in the Obama administration. Once Trump was elected she spewed propaganda on CNN.

Now that China Joe has been installed through election fraud, Psaki is back. She seems a perfect fit for the Biden regime. She seems unprepared, evasive, and untruthful. She has all the charm of a soulless and unblinking political shark that she is. Biden’s mouthpiece is now famous for her ‘I’ll circle back to you on that’ line, which has gone viral.

Psaki is a talking doll. Others pull her string and she then babbles proscribed and scripted lies. Jen makes a good face for the leftist media. She’s a socialist sycophant relaying talking points to other socialist sycophants. There is no journalism involved. It’s just one big circle jerk.

Orange woman bad!

Democratic Majority in House drops to just 5 people


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Posted Feb 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Socrates had forecast a declining trend for the Democrats and their majority is so razor-thin, they have a serious problem. This is why Biden is circumventing Congress altogether and using executive orders to implement Schwab’s Great Rest. In the House, a judge has ruled that the NY-22 congressional election is finished handing the victory to the Republicans with a vote margin of just 109 votes.

After months of counts and recounts and recounts of the recount, Republican Claudia Tenney has won the seat beating Democrat Anthony Brindisi. Tenney held a thin 109 vote lead, and Oswego County Supreme Court Judge Scott DelConte dismissed a motion by Brindisi to delay certification yet again. The judge ordered the vote to be certified therefore handing Republicans another House seat victory.

The Democrats have only a 50.4% majority and in the Senate, it is 50/50 requiring the Vice President to beat the tie. The Democrats are in the midst of a shrinking majority in the Democrat House reducing their advantage to just five seats. The good news is that if Speaker Pelosi wants to pass crazy progressive bills, she is going to need absolutely every Democrat on board and count on some renegade Republican support.


As I have been pointing out, the Democrats are more vulnerable to breaking apart by 2022 splintering into several factions where the Republicans would split taking 70% for a possible new party based upon the anti-establishment movement that has been around for decades and only expands. There are conservative Democrats in districts that are far more conservative and would be thrown out of office if they dared to follow the AOC insanity.  Our models showed that the 2021 election Congress would be the peak for the Democrats, although their margin has declined sharply.

The 2022 election will be a Panic Cycle and a major Directional Change hits for the new Congress there in 2023. Note that there is yet another Panic Cycle in 2024. To show Panic Cycles in politics is extremely rare. This has not taken place since the Great Depression. As the Democrats shred the Constitution to put Trump on trial, they should be mindful that when the Republicans get back in power, they could retroactively impeach Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden when he was Vice President under Obama. This is totally absurd that Congress could impeach someone who is not in the office. If Trump really committed a crime, then that is something for the courts to take on – not Congress
