Social Distancing with Joe Biden


Social Distancing In The Democrat Primary

Biden continues to rack up delegates and he’s all but assured of the nomination. Look for Hillary to be his running mate. Bernie Sanders will probably drop out soon. Not because he wants to and normally he’d probably hang on so he can continue to make his predictable speeches because that’s what he does and has always done in life. He’s a socialist blowhard.

He’s also bound to political correctness. The perception now is he will endanger lives by helping expose people to the coronavirus by forcing people to show up at voting stations. Bernie will drop out due to the virus.

The Democrats will be ridin’ Biden, one of the oldest candidates ever to run for president. He’s also a thoroughly corrupt, demented, hair-sniffing serial groper as well as an incoherent gaffe machine who could not even get Obama’s endorsement. He’s more worried about climate change than the virus. He wants to destroy our energy industries. He wants to grab our guns.

Just say ‘NO!’ to Joe.

Are They Planning ID2020 as Mandatory Implants for All as the Solution to the Crisis?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy

Re-Posted Mar 19, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

There is a very concerning proposal running around in Washington. The technology already exists for pets which is an electronic microchip or transponder. A subcutaneous electronic microchip allows you to identify your pet. It is no larger than a grain of rice and only takes a few minutes for your vet to insert. A transponder does not emit any electric waves once inserted.

The proposal is a digital certificate that verifies if you have been vaccinated and was developed by MIT and Microsoft. They are looking at merging this with Bill Gates’ ID2020. It is entirely possible that this scare has been a deliberate plot to get people to accept these digital implants. Refuse, and you will be prohibited from social gatherings. Like 9/11 conditioned us to be x-rayed before entering a plane, now the next stage is to embed digital markers that they have been using in dogs and cats.

Bill Gates has sought to impose mandatory ID chips in you. He argues that his idea is not an infringement on privacy.

Price Waterhouse is all for ID2020 to forcibly install digital chips into all of us.

 

 

The United Nations’ WHO is part of this ID2020. Scaring the world and making people feel unsafe unless they are certified not to have this coronavirus just may be part of the plot behind the curtain. I hate conspiracy theories, but this is in the open. The health industry is destroying the world economy and making people feel unsafe. Unemployment is skyrocketing as people lose their jobs and will be then conditioned that if they have been certified, then and only then will they be safe to return to the workforce.

Will Bernie Lead to the Split in the Democratic Party?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Mar 19, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

 

Bernie is not a typical career politician. He at least believes in communism. He preaches what he actually believes. Therein lies the problem. In California, 1,548,025 people voted for Bernie compared to 1,237,944 who voted for Joe Biden. Bernie’s followers are as passionate as him and there are already rumblings that the primary has been rigged again to make sure Bernie will lose the nomination.

This is the root of the problem. The Democrats are deeply divided and there is a lot of hatred among them. When Elizabeth Warren ended her bid to become the first female US president, she refused to endorse Bernie in his battle against Joe Biden.

Tulsi Gabbard Suspends Campaign Endorses Joe Biden – Report: Bernie Refused Endorsement…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on March 19, 2020 by 

Predictably odd, generally sketchy, and Tucker Carlson favorite, Representative Tulsi Gabbard, suspended her campaign for the 2020 democrat presidential nomination today while endorsing Joe Biden.  According to her brother posting on Facebook, Bernie Sanders refused the accept an endorsement.  Go figure.

Announcement – “[T]oday, I’m suspending my presidential campaign, and offering my full support to Vice President Joe Biden in his quest to bring our country together.”

I will continue to advocate for a 21st century foreign policy. One based on mutual respect and cooperation instead of confrontation, where we as a community of nations can work together to overcome the challenges that our people face — preventing and stopping pandemics like the coronavirus that is now affecting all of us, tackling climate change, combating terrorism, and removing the existential threat of nuclear war which hangs over the heads of all of us.

[…] “I want to extend my best wishes to my friends Senator Bernie Sanders, his wife Jane, Nina Turner and their many supporters for the work they’ve done. I have a great appreciation for Senator Sanders’ love for our country and the American people and his sincere desire to improve the lives of all Americans.” (link)

The Fear Parade

Unlocked

Early Look, The Fear Parade

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste….It’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” — Rahm Emanuel

Whether or not the US had anything to do with the creation and release of the COVID 19 virus, it is sadly predictable that our government will use the situation to further increase its power by lessening our freedom. US government operatives helped commit the 9-11 disaster and as a result we got the foul “Patriot Act” forced upon us, which has nearly obliterated our 4th Amendment.

When government gets more power, it never relinquishes it. The CIA-influenced mass media has drummed up hysteria about this latest virus, and some even imply Trump is to blame. One thing for sure, everything else they drummed up to try and remove our lawfully elected president has failed. Now they will blame Trump for COVID 19 and the collapsing stock market.

During the Boston Marathon bombing, government managed to lock down an entire city. Now the government is seeing if they can lock down an entire country. If they succeed, then it will become routine. “Lock down!—Everyone must be at home so we can administer mandatory vaccines! Or, “Lock Down! Everyone must be at home so we can confiscate your firearms!” And so forth. Our freedom of speech will be restricted. Only government will have the official word along with the CDC and World Health Organization. By the way, Bill Gates helped fund the WHO and I also heard he was part ‘owner’ of the virus patent. Last week he suddenly resigned from Microsoft’s board. Perhaps he knows he’s partially responsible in some manner and is heading to a private location to avoid a hemp necktie.

I’ve read all the conspiracy theories regarding the reason for the release of the virus. One of the most believable contentions is the virus is a distraction from 5G, which is dangerous to humans. Ironically, Wuhan is big on 5G. 4G is fast enough, but 5G is necessary for the globalist power freaks (such as Bill Gates) who desire ‘smart cities’ that monitor everything citizens might do.

The coronavirus mostly affects the infirm and the elderly. Most Americans can and will endure it. We will also most likely be forced to endure an even more tyrannical and oppressive government.

Remember 9/11 and the “Patriot” act- Panic is worthless and can only lead to tyranny!

German Comment on Nationalizing Industry due to Coronavirus is Insane!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany

Re-Posted Mar 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Dear Mr. Armstrong, I have been following you for a few years and what strikes me most is that I read years ago that China would have collapsed in 2020 but that Asia will recover and will be the driving continent from 2036 …

My question is this what do you think of Germany’s decision to print 550 billion euros through the KFW bank in support of businesses and the statements of the German economy minister who says that strategic companies should be nationalized … isn’t that contradicting the so much stressed globalization principle and the “so scandalous” principle of sovereignty?

They claim to use the flexibility that is allowed in the Stability and Growth Pact, but I’m feeling teased while in Italy there is a risk of having to resort to the MES  with a further risk of worsening the economic condition.

Thank you for your attention

L


ANSWER: PeterAltmaier, the Federal Minister of Economic Affairs, was joined by the left-wing Schultz in a joint statement that effectively said that since they cannot bail out companies, perhaps they would just NATIONIZE them. Austerity has been imposed on Europe by Germany and the refusal to consolidate the debts was all because Kohl wanted a single currency to increase German sales throughout Europe, but he did not want to accept a true federalization of debt – having your cake and eat it simultaneously.

This has been the disastrous structural flaw of the Euro. It has not worked and what we see is the Coronavirus is being used to reverse that posture and even justify the entire confiscation of private assets by nationalizing companies. This will be the final nail in the coffin of Europe. Why would any investor be interested in European stocks if the government can act like Iran and just confiscate all private assets?

The economic structure is crumbling. This is why China will rise, not so much that it will be so fantastic, but that the West is gradually committing economic suicide. We have so many people repeating the Coronavirus beating it into such a major scare tactic that people are then willing to surrender all their rights when they are being told it is for their own good. I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell. They told the people it was not to keep them in but to keep others out because Communism was so fantastic. Obviously, Bernie Sanders believed that one.

Romney Positioning for VP on Democratic Ticket with Hillary?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Mar 13, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mit Romney was against Trump on every possible level right into the impeachment. Some think he will somehow become a Democrat to try to get into the White House. Do you see any chance of this?

HD

COMMENT: Marty, I think you are correct that Hillary will be drafted. There is no possible way for Biden to win on a first ballot. Maybe this is what your model is forecasting with the big turning point come July?

JF

ANSWER: That is called the Unity Ticket which was used by Lincoln by selecting Johnson — North & South. Romney is a conspirator, that is very clear. There are rumors that Biden will select him as a VP since Hillary says she is not interested in a VP position unless it appears that Biden might slip and fall. Romney is flirting with the idea, but I still question if Biden will be able to go the distance. My bet is still on Hillary being drafted and then perhaps Romney would become a Democrat to try to overthrow Trump.

While Joe Biden has won several March Primaries on the 10th, his total of delegates stands at 857. If we add all the delegated handed to him by Bloomberg and the others, that comes to 94.  Elizabeth Warren has 70 delegates but she is still mad as hell and has not yet expressed support for Biden or Bernie. Given that Bernie Sanders has 709 delegates, with only 340 delegates remaining, neither Biden nor Bernie will win on a first ballot where they need the majority of 1,991 delegates to clinch the nomination at the Democratic National Convention being held from July 13-16. Our Model shows July as a very important turning point.

The second ballot of voting will have the 3,979 delegates plus the 771 super delegates that will then be allowed to vote. This is when each delegate will be allowed to freely change candidates, regardless of who elected voters in the home state. Therefore, the entire primary process will be irrelevant. Our sources all along have been about a draft of Hillary will be the answer for the Democrats have nobody else. She will win the necessary majority of 2,375.5 delegates. This, according to reliable sources, is why Elizabeth Warren is really pissed-off because Hillary has orchestrated this behind the scenes without ever having to campaign.

The likely scenario is that Hillary will announce that she does not support any of the presidential candidates and they will plead with her to save the party. So she will not become Biden’s VP. She wants the full Enchilada.

The real rumor behind the curtain is that Mit Romney will be the VP for Hillary. She will not pick Joe Biden or Bernie. Even Trump told a private gathering (direct reliable source) that he did not know who he would be running against but questioned whether Joe Biden could “go the distance.” The only person the Democrats have who they believe can defeat Trump is Hillary. Biden may have dementia. He constantly stumbles over words, confuses people, is clearly unable to round thoughts or sentences. He has even become aggressive towards some members of the audience. I do not think that Biden is qualified to be President and the Democrats know that. He is the place-holder to stop Bernie and he may not even be aware of how he is being used.

2020 Super Tuesday – Trump Received More Votes Than the Democrats


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Mar 12, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty; I have read that Trump has managed to break several turnout and vote-count records in blue states and key swing states and racked up more votes than all the Democrats in a primary being unopposed. It certainly looks like Socrates is going to be correct again.

PSB

REPLY: While all the news has been about the Democrats, the interesting aspect of the primary election is how many people are coming out to vote for Trump in a primary where he has no opposition. In Vermont and Minnesota, Trump’s vote totals beat every past incumbent’s total in the last four decades. In Maine, the president’s vote total exceeded every primary candidate’s total since before President Ronald Reagan. In Massachusetts, the story was similar, with Trump aggregating a higher vote total than past incumbent Republicans since before Reagan.

And in deeply blue California, with 82 percent of precincts reporting, President Trump collected nearly 1.4 million votes compared to the total Democratic votes of 4,310,856. Trump gathered more votes than Biden in California, collecting 1,847,768 votes. On Super Tuesday, the total number of Democrats who voted was about 4,749,000. Trump actually collected 5,830,920 votes (excludes Virginia).

So far, a lot of people are turning out for Trump in a primary, which is rather amazing. I still question what will happen and if Biden can even go the distance.

Mini-Tuesday Takeaways: The DNC Club Has Bernie Surrounded – Now Comes The Terms For Exit…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on March 11, 2020 by 

Bernie Sanders came into mini-Tuesday hoping for Michigan and Washington State to help him stay within closing distance of DNC favorite Joe Biden.  However, Bernie was crushed in Mississippi, Missouri and Michigan by the machine – not by Joe Biden.

Bernie was left with a possible 50/50 split in Washington State where over 125,000 voters mailed-in ballots for Elizabeth Warren (mailed prior to withdrawal), not accidental, all by Club design.  The Club is in control now, full control; and Biden is the malleable vessel the administrative state hopes to utilize to take control of all government function.

Bernie lost the heavily union influenced state of Michigan by over 200,000 votes (53/37); many of those union votes were against losing their Cadillac healthcare plans.  A stunning defeat for Senator Sanders in a state he narrowly carried in 2016. The losses in Mississippi (81 to 15) and Missouri (60 to 35) were by even wider proportions.

Michigan was a big loss because…. To make matters worse, Bernie Sanders now sees the Club has out maneuvered his last remaining hope.  Florida, Ohio, Illinois and Arizona all vote on March 17th.

Florida (219 delegates) is a lost cause.  ‘Fidel’ Sanders will likely see a similar outcome he received in Mississippi, no delegates.  Illinois (155 delegates), like Michigan, is under the full control of the Club – no viable hope.  Bernie’s road-map included Ohio (136 delegates), but the Club knee-capped him on that possibility; intentionally and smartly, by cancelling all indoor rallies under the auspices of Coronavirus.  That only leaves Arizona (67 delegates); but by then it’s likely too late, and the best possibility is another 50/50 split.

So Bernie Sanders campaign is done.

Hence, he never spoke last night as he absorbs exactly how best to play out his remaining political currency.

The only leverage Bernie Sanders carries now is the March 15th CNN debate in Arizona.

The DNC wants this contest over, & The Club does not want to see Joe Biden’s diminished mental acuity exposed.  This is the only remaining leverage for Bernie Sanders.

Again, The DNC Club is smart and they think ahead of the contingencies.  That’s why the CNN March 15th debate was modified in advance.  Current rules: no Arizona debate audience allowed; no media presence permitted; both candidates seated behind desks.  No stress to exhibit Biden’s diminished capacities.

Bernie could suspend or concede prior to the debate; or Bernie could concede during the debate; it matters not.  Bernie will concede.  The question is: will there be a debate?

Given the heavily controlled DNC/CNN format for the debate, the most likely scenario is:

Bernie concedes openly or privately this week and then The Club use the “debate” as a 90 minute infomercial to promote the Club’s interests.  Under this scenario Bernie and Joe will have a friendly fireside chat about policy to help heal the divisions.

It would be a 90 minute nationally televised PR opportunity for Bernie to exit while supporting The Club candidate.  The goal: to bring Bernie supporters into the Club.

There may not be a debate; however, the Club would likely not want to lose such an opportunity for a nationally televised healing event, and their media allies will push the unity narrative hard into the psyche of the young and impressionable Bernie supporters.

Following the script; and in a similar party alignment that we saw exhibited on Super Tuesday…. On March 17th Florida, Arizona, Ohio and Illinois will all vote for Joe Biden.  Georgia follows suit on March 24th, and it’s all downhill from there.

Bernie’s last remaining input will be to assist the Club with a few progressive elements for the convention platform, and a soft-landing for AOC+3 to avoid electoral backlash. Biden will not have any input into the Democrat platform for 2020, all of the handlers will take control now.

Jill Biden will continue her primary role as caregiver, breathing sighs of relief each time Joe talks and doesn’t go bananas.  Jill will be assisted by Symone Sanders and a small circle of well compensated close confidants who will keep Biden’s diminished mental state hidden from view.  The proletariat media will be complicit in this endeavor.

One consistent approach by The DNC Club is that once they have defeated their internal enemies; as long as that enemy pays homage to the Club, admits and recognizes the power and control; and humble themselves before the Club leadership’s magnanimity; the Club will find a way for their internal opposition to keep face publicly.

There is no path for Bernie beyond negotiating narrow terms for exit.

Bernie fought the establishment, and the establishment won.

The Club is powerful; and The DNC has defeated him.

It’s over.

Swampman Joe Biden! — Tina Toon


Is Bernie’s campaign “berning” out?

It was “Super Tuesday 2” as six states voted in the Democrat primary.

Swampman Joe “You’re full of Sh#t” Biden defeated Democrat  Super Socialist Bernie Sanders with his amazing swamp powers. Joe summoned the forces of Fake News and the DNC to combine and send burnt out Bernie back to Vermont.

Berning Man lost Michigan, Missouri, and Mississippi to Biden. Biden is expected to win Idaho and North Dakota with Washington too close to call.

If any state goes  to Bernie, it will likely be Washington State, the large population of stoner Bernie bros love their “free stuff”.

The Democrat establishment wants Joe Biden as nominee, that is obvious. All the talk of diversity and inclusion is a ruse that the Democrat base falls for everything. Biden is an elderly white man who has been in government for 36 years. That will go over well with the radical left base that wants socialism.

The establishment wins again.
