As gas prices soar, the plan to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) seems more appealing to the average consumer. The US will now require auto manufacturers to meet a fleetwide average of 55 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2026, which is up from the 43 mpg standard set by Trump. The current standard for 2021 models is 40 mpg.
The Environmental Protection Agency is saying that moving to EVs can save owners between $210 and $420 billion through 2050, and owners will save an average of $1,000 per year.
A lobbying group is calling the Alliance for Automotive Innovation is calling for federal support to meet the new requirement, stating that the industry will not be able to meet the criteria without government funds. The infrastructure bill passed earlier in the year will allow more funding for public charging stations.
Others in the industry are claiming that automakers must conform to EVs to stay competitive. Tesla’s growth has been widely praised. GM is releasing two new electric cars and will begin producing the GMC Hummer EV next fall. BMW plans to unveil an all-electric M badge car. Jaguar Land Rover noted it would test a hydrogen fuel-cell prototype. Mercedes plans to manufacture ten new models of EVs by the end of next year. Ford, Nissan, and Mazda will join in on the action too. The list goes on and on.
Electric vehicles only account for 3% to 4% of cars on the road in the US. Still, that percentage will rise in the coming years as EVs become more affordable to the average consumer and companies continue to develop the technology.
Canadian Federal Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen addressed the housing shortage in many of Canada’s provinces by stating that he would like to limit passive foreign investment. Furthermore, Hussen stated that he would support implementing density measures, as New Zealand did, to allow builders to create up to three homes on a single-family lot. “Any measure that increases the housing supply, that intensifies the use of land, that builds more housing and that frees up more housing on the same amount of land, is a good thing,” Hussen added.
Hussen did not provide details on what his foreign buyer ban would entail, but Trudeau did make similar promises after winning his third term in September. The 1% tax on vacant foreign-owned land and housing begins on January 1. The Liberal Party is touting a tax-free down-payment savings program for first-time homebuyers as well as rent-to-own programs. Both measures would cost Canadian taxpayers C$4.2 billion in the next four years.
Canada is also considering placing a ban on house flipping in what they believe is an effort to cool housing prices. The problem comes when they put in punitive laws that become permanent because of a trend based entirely upon currency. Foreign, mainly Chinese, buyers see Canadian real estate as a safe place to park assets. Their profits seem amplified when converting the currency. The measures the Liberal government plan to take could cause capital flows to diminish once investors no longer see real estate as a safe haven. Once the government imposes the tax, you can bet it will rise rapidly from 1% because there is a complete misunderstanding of what is driving the real estate markets.
Powell’s decision to retire the word “transitory” when discussing inflation was too little, too late. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that US inflation soared 5.7% in November on an annual basis, marking a 0.5% rise from October. The gauge has not reached this level since 1982. Eliminating food and energy from the equation, prices rose 4.7%, which still marks the most significant increase since September 1983.
The BEA noted that consumers are spending more on essentials. The Biden Administration touts rising wages without understanding that this is contributing to the wage-price spiral. Employers are paying their employees more to keep up with the cost of living. Costs go up for businesses and therefore go up for the consumer.
Expect the Fed to finally take a hawkish approach in 2022.

The rebellious messenger known as Joe Dan Gorman has surfaced again, just long enough to transmit another broadcast in a coded frequency only receivable by patriots with a funny bone. This natural filtration process ensures communists and leftists are incapable of receiving it.
This end of year holiday message comes from deep in the bunker of the underground network. Enjoy…

They know if you’ve been sleeping… They know if you’re awake… They know if you’ve been vaxxed or not, So get vaxxed or meet the state.
Yes, the British people are about to discover how non-private their medical history actually is. U.K. authorities discussing ways to send vaccination and booster compliance squads to the homes of the unvaccinated.
(UK Daily Mail) – Door-to-door teams armed with Covid jabs will be sent to the homes of unvaccinated Britons in plans being considered by Ministers to reach the estimated five million people yet to be inoculated.
Discussions between the Department of Health, NHS England and No 10 over the past week have looked at a nationwide drive to send vaccine teams to areas with low uptake rates as a crucial way to avoid lockdown and other restrictions.
It is also seen as a way to get jabs to rural areas or households where people cannot easily get to a vaccination centre. (read more)
A team from the UK has filed a complaint with the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on behalf of the people. The report alleges that government officials, pharmaceutical executives, and others profiting from the pandemic have violated the Nuremberg Code, committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as aggression against civilians. The 44-page complaint extensively lists the crimes committed by the following individuals:
The complaint states that the aforementioned individuals have committed the following crimes:
– Violations of the Nuremberg Code
– Violation of Article 6 of the Rome Statute
– Violation of Article 7 of the Rome Statute
– Violation of Article 8 of the Rome
– Violation of Article 8 bis3 of the Rome Statute
The document contains a lot of detailed information that I will summarize:
COVID Is a Biological Weapon – Gain of Function Research
COVID was created in a laboratory. Leo Poon. Dr. Li-Meng Yan and her team published a report (Appendix 4) claiming that the novel coronavirus was developed “as a laboratory product created by using bat coronaviruses ZC45 and/or ZXC21 as a template and/or backbone.” ZC45 and ZXC21 were discovered between July 2015 and February 2017 in military research laboratories. Once the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre, a non-military laboratory, published a conflicting report and was quickly forced by the government to retract its statement. “The existing scientific publications supporting a natural origin theory rely heavily on a single piece of evidence – a previously discovered bat coronavirus named RaTG13, which shares a 96% nucleotide sequence identity with SARS-CoV-2.”
Again, all evidence discredits the notion that the COVID-19 virus developed naturally. “The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA has admitted to funding gain of function research on bat coronaviruses at China’s Wuhan lab – despite Dr Anthony Fauci repeatedly denying this.” There is clear evidence that the NIH funded gain of function research between 2014 and 2019. A $3.1 million grant was awarded to EcoHealth Alliance for coronavirus studies on bats. Another grant of $599,000 was provided to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to also study COVID in bats.
Conclusion: The coronavirus did not develop naturally. Rather, the virus was deliberately created in a laboratory after years of government-funded research.
Experimental Vaccines
The vaccine received temporary authorization under Regulation 174 of the Human Medicine Regulations Act (2012). The report notes that mRNA vaccines have never been approved for human usage and the effects are completely unknown. “The long-term effects and safety of the treatment in recipients are unknown. It is important to note that the Corona Virus ‘vaccines’ are the world’s first introduction to the synthetic m-RNA technology and all previous immunisations [sic] worked in a totally different manner, by way of introducing a deactivated or weakened virus to the body to trigger a natural arousal of the immune system against it.”
The COVID vaccination should be categorized as a gene therapy as it does not meet the requirements for the term “vaccine.” In February 2021, Merriam-Webster changed the definition of “vaccine” to include the COVID-19 mRNA injection. Dr. Mike Yeadon stated in the report: “It’s not a vaccination. It’s not prohibiting infection. It’s not a prohibiting transmission device. It’s a means by which your body is conscripted to make the toxin that then allegedly your body somehow gets used to dealing with it, but unlike a vaccine, which is to trigger the immune response, this is to trigger the creation of the toxin.”
Conclusion: The COVID-19 injection is not a vaccine, but rather a mass experimental form of gene therapy with unknown consequences.
Presence of Graphene Hydroxide in Vaccines
German chemist Dr. Andreas Noack was one of the EU’s top graphene and carbon experts who formulated his doctoral thesis by converting graphene oxide into graphene hydroxide. Dr. Noack examined the vaccines along with other experts and found that the vaccines contain graphene hydroxide. “On November 23, 2021, Dr. Andreas Noack released a video explaining what graphene hydroxide is and how the nano structures injected into the human body act as ‘razor blades’ inside the veins of ‘vaccine’ recipients. Dr. Andreas goes on to explain how due to the nano size of the graphene oxide structures they would not show up on an autopsy as toxicologists can’t imagine that there are structures that can cut up blood vessels causing people to bleed to death on the inside so they would not be looking for them, given their atomic size.”
After speaking out about graphene hydroxide in vaccines on a live stream broadcast, Dr. Noack was arrested on film by German police. On November 26, 2021, Dr. Noack was attacked and murdered. His case remains unsolved.
Conclusion: There is graphene hydroxide in the vaccine, and Dr. Noack was assassinated for speaking the truth.
Part Two
Looking further into the complaint filed with the International Criminal Court, we find additional examples of human rights abuses.
PCR Tests
Oxford University has discovered that PCR tests are so sensitive that they can detect old infections by tracking fragments of dead viral cells. “Originally developed to detect the presence of DNA and RNA in biological samples, even its Nobel Prize-winning inventor Kary Mullis declared that PCR was never intended to diagnose a disease,” the complaint states. Dr. Kary Mullis said that the PCR test can find “almost anything in anybody.” The PCR tests repeatedly cycle to find traces of viral RNA and are chemically amplified with each attempt. Public Health England stated that the PCR test threshold should be set around 25.6, and anything above means there is not enough evidence of the virus to deem a person ill.
Conclusion: PCR tests are often run 40-45 times to artificially increase the chance of a positive result.
Masks
The World Health Organization (WHO) previously admitted that there is no evidence available to indicate masks as an effective method of protecting healthy individuals. “In addition to hypoxia and hypercapnia, breathing through facemask residues bacterial and germ components on the inner and outside layer of the facemask. These toxic components are repeatedly breathed back into the body, causing self-contamination.” Furthermore, there is actually evidence that face masks can cause toxic particles to build within the mask. “Rebreathing contaminated air with high bacterial and toxic particle concentrations along with low O2 and high CO2 levels continuously challenge the body homeostasis, causing self-toxicity and immunosuppression.”
Conclusion: There is no evidence that masks are effective against the transmission of COVID-19; however, there is evidence that wearing masks can be toxic.
Alternative Treatments
There are numerous treatments for the coronavirus that are not offered to the population at large.
Hydroxychloroquine – 50% reduction in hospitalizations and death
Ivermectin – 70% reduction in deaths
Favipiravir – Approved only in Japan
Corticosteroids – 87% reduction in hospitalizations; 30% reduction in deaths
Colchicine – 25% reduction in hospitalization and deaths
Conclusion: Safe and effective treatments for the coronavirus exist but are not readily available.
Part Three
The complaint filed with the International Criminal Court continues to provide a broad-picture view of the various ways governments have used the coronavirus to exploit the people.
INFLATED COVID FIGURES
Nurses and doctors from hospitals across the world have noted that nearly every death recorded is due to the coronavirus. The complaint notes that if an individual died for any reason within 28 days of receiving a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, their death is deemed a coronavirus casualty. The report notes that between March and June 2020, England and Wales recorded 4,476 deaths with no pre-existing condition.
Yet, deaths for the same period suddenly spiked to 49,607:
The complaint alleges that governments have been artificially inflating figures and misbranding common flu, pneumonia, and other respiratory illnesses as COVID-19. To further show that the common flu has been mislabeled as COVID, data from the ONC shows that flu and pneumonia deaths in 2018 and 2019 came to 29,516 and 26,398, respectfully. In 2020, only 394 people died from the common flu and 13,619 passed away from pneumonia.
Conclusion: The number of fatalities from the coronavirus has been drastically overstated. As mentioned in an earlier post, PCR tests were never meant to be used in their current manner, and often produce false-positive results. Anyone who dies within 28 days of a positive test result is deemed a casualty of coronavirus, even if the virus was not the cause of death.
CENSORSHIP
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, and countless social media platforms have removed any and all information regarding the coronavirus that does not fit the broader agenda. “. Authorities have blocked legitimate websites and ordered the removal of unwanted content. Officials have reinforced these controls by criminalising [sic] more categories of online expression and arresting journalists, activists, and members for public speaking about the government’s performance. To suppress unfavourable [sic] health statistics, critical reporting and other COVID-19 content the UK government has blocked websites or forced users, social media platforms, or online outlets to delete information,” the report states.
Furthermore, Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the RNA vaccine, has been removed from all social media platforms for speaking out against the vaccine. “Smear campaigns are being waged against any doctors and scientists who challenge the WHO narrative on Covid-19 and the Covid-19 ‘vaccines’. We are in a situation where governments and global NGO’s have seized control of the medical profession,” the complaint continues.
Conclusion: Media companies are directly filtering and altering public information. Even reputable medical professionals have been scrubbed from the internet. Governments around the world are using the pandemic as a reason to crack down on free speech and information.
Part Four
Clade X and Event 201
“In May, 2018, the WEF partnered with Johns Hopkins to simulate a fictitious pandemic dubbed ‘Clade X’ (Appendix 12) to see how prepared the world be if ever faced with a catastrophic pandemic. A little over a year later, the WEF once again teamed-up with Johns Hopkins, along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to stage another pandemic exercise called ‘Event 201’ in October, 2019 (Appendix 13). Both simulations concluded that the world wasn’t prepared for a global pandemic. A few short months following the conclusion of Event 201, which specifically simulated a coronavirus outbreak, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared that the coronavirus had reached pandemic status on March 11, 2020.”
The simulation covered the following scenarios:
Governments implementing lockdowns worldwide
The collapse of many industries
Growing mistrust between governments and citizens
A greater adoption of biometric surveillance technologies
Social media censorship in the name of combating misinformation
The desire to flood communication channels with “authoritative” sources
A global lack of personal protective equipment
The breakdown of international supply chains
Mass unemployment
Rioting in the streets
Conclusion: The accuracy of these “simulations” is more than a coincidence. The World Economic Forum (WEF) and its partners were planning for the release of a pandemic. After all of the above scenarios materialized, WEF founder Klaus Schwab said it was now time for the Great Reset.
“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future” — Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum
Armstrong Economics Blog/Sovereign Debt Crisis Re-Posted Dec 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
While the world is turning, the economic crisis emanating from the SovereignDebt Crisis in Europe is propelling a very serious outlook as we head into 2022. I have been warning for the past 10 years that the situation would become critical. I have attended meetings with many central banks over this period warning that governments cannot continue to borrow perpetually with no intention of repaying what they borrow.
The Day of reckoning is arriving. They have been using this COVID-19 whipping it up into a panic for the shear purpose to bring us to the point where their solution will be to default disguised as a solution for the poeple. I will report on the real state of the world financial system and it may be shocking for most. This is not a question of simple hyperinflation for that even implies that the currency survives, The real outlook is far from the claims of the pundits that keep pitching the same story for decades since the collapse of Bretton Woods. Those in power are already running stories that there will be an armed revolution if Trump does not win in 2024, It would be nice if we even have that long before political chaos upsets the financial system.
There will NEVER be a return to normal. These people have divided the people on race and politics and the key to civilization has always been that people come together when they ALL benefit. Civilization collapses when you divide the people, and turn one group against the other.
When the people rise up against the tyranny of government, suddenly this is being fueled by populism that must be terminated. It was John Kerry at Davos who was “warning of the dangers of economic populism,” and added that politicians, like Trump, should not listen to the people. “It’s really dangerous to play to the lowest common denominator of American, of global political life.”
The hypocrisy of this statement is really a slap in the face of what we call a free society. It is OK to appeal to the lowest denomination within society that we need to strip the rich of their toys but it is not OK if someone appeals to the people to rise up against the corruption within governments.
They call Snowden a traitor when he told the people the government was acting illegally against the people. Treason is not against the country or the people but is now defined as exposing those in government.
There are those in power like John Kerry who see only their self-interest and not the people. They have no intention of ever even representing the people. This is a political system based upon fraud. Individuals will run for office and declare what they stand for, but when they get to Washington, they are told they MUST vote party lines. It no longer matters what someone running for office promises, they are told they must vote for the agenda and in this case, it is Agenda 2030 coming from the World Economic Forum.
This is why there is a movement to terminate the right of the people to vote for anything meaningful. We are too stupid to know what is best for us and how dare we expect that government is there for the people – it is there to exercise power. We are the Great Unwashed! We have no representation and we are taxed, regulated, and oppressed all for an agenda that was never submitted to the people anywhere for a vote if this is the future we want to live in.
So when Schwab declares that we construct the future, he did not mean We the People. We have come full circle in politics. Between here into 2032 it will increasingly become apparent that this is a battle for freedom and the future we wish to leave behind. They do not believe in God. Like Marx, they see religion as merely a tool for manipulation. Believing in God is equivalent to believing a politician will actually do what he promises.
This has indeed gone full circle. There has been a major effort to terminate free speechand Google has been aiding the destruction of our way of life. The American Revolution was against tyranny and tyranny has proclaimed it has the right to govern we the Great Unwashed who are unworthy of ever having a worthwhile belief or thought. Many also believe in this elitist group that there are too many of us and the herd must be thinned.
Demand for rentals in the US is increasing at an alarming pace. Single-family rentals rose 10.9% in October year-over-year, according to a report by CoreLogic. There are simply not enough rental properties available to meet demand. Vacancy rates are at a 25-year low as those priced out of the buyer’s market search for housing.
Rentals in every price range are on the rise. The lower-priced homes that represent 75% or less the regional median rose 9.5%. Lower-middle priced homes that represent 75% to 100% of the regional median are up 10.1%. Higher-middle priced homes representing 100% to 125% of the regional median are up 11.3%, while the highest-priced homes (125%+) advanced 11.4%.
On a regional basis, Miami saw the largest spike with rentals increasing 29.7% in the past year. Phoenix (19.3%) and Las Vegas (16.5%) also experienced notable increases. Thanks to Lori Lightfoot, Chicago experienced the lowest annual growth among larger cities at 4.2%.
The National Association of Home Builders stated that housing starts specifically for rental units reached a high in Q3. However, there is simply not enough available housing to meet the growing demand. Additionally, numerous landlords are also now converting their spaces in desirable areas to Air BnBs and vacation rentals, further diminishing the supply. As remote work becomes prominent in American culture, people are flocking to the suburbs and areas that were not designed to host a growing population.

The White House occupant cannot afford to lose the little support he has left from the fractured sheeple masses and special interest groups.
With polling collapsing Biden’s influence on an almost daily basis, Chief of Staff Ron Klain deployed the puppy strategy. Not surprisingly that fell flatter than curling ice, and making matters worse, people realized to the Biden family dogs are politically disposable tools for optics only. Add on the rebuke of the Build Back Better spending boondoggle and, well, there’s panic in the corps.
According to the White House, the U.S. economy is doing great, things are perfect and getting better. The economy is doing so well, students can’t afford or find jobs to pay back their loans. Wait a min.., wha… huh?
WHITE HOUSE – […] “today my Administration is extending the pause on federal student loan repayments for an additional 90 days — through May 1, 2022 — as we manage the ongoing pandemic and further strengthen our economic recovery. Meanwhile, the Department of Education will continue working with borrowers to ensure they have the support they need to transition smoothly back into repayment and advance economic stability for their own households and for our nation.” (read more)
Pay no attention to the conflicted messaging. You are not allowed to ask the question: if the economy is so great, then why do former college students need even more time to start paying back their loans? Remember, in order for moonbat Democats to continue advancing their insane ideology, they must pretend not to know things.
We have another three months before we need to find a job, cool.
