Dispatches from the War: Mr. Trump, deliver knockout blow to traitorous CDC


Take them out, Mr. President! The economic war against the American people is backed up and justified by massively fraudulent data and fake science

Dispatches from the War: Mr. Trump, deliver knockout blow to traitorous CDC

”…against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”

Let’s get domestic.

I promise you, Mr. President, if you send a hundred FBI agents into the CDC and remove millions of their files as evidence, you’ll discover this federal agency is entirely corrupt, and has been for decades.

While the Department of Justice prepares indictments, make a public declaration that your administration will ignore all their COVID case numbers and recommendations.  They’re criminal liars.  That’s their whole game.

Let me help you out with four examples.  Face it, you’re not good with details, so you may want a team to summarize the following revelations for you.

ONE: The Atlantic, May 21, 2020, has a story, headlined, “How could the CDC make that mistake?”

I’ll give you the key quotes, and then comment on the stark inference The Atlantic somehow failed to grasp.

“We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus…The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral [PCR] and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.”

“Several states—-including Pennsylvania, the site of one of the country’s largest outbreaks, as well as Texas, Georgia, and Vermont—-are blending the data in the same way. Virginia likewise mixed viral and antibody test results until last week, but it reversed course and the governor apologized for the practice after it was covered by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Atlantic. Maine similarly separated its data on Wednesday; Vermont authorities claimed they didn’t even know they were doing this.”

“‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’ Ashish Jha, the K. T. Li Professor of Global Health at Harvard and the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told us when we described what the CDC was doing. ‘How could the CDC make that mistake? This is a mess’.”

“The CDC stopped publishing anything resembling a complete database of daily [COVID] test results on February 29. When it resumed publishing test data last week [the middle of May]…”

First of all, notice the CDC stopped reporting complete case numbers on a daily basis, for two and a half months.  Remember that.  I’ll cover a more egregious CDC stoppage in a minute.

But here is the main event: The Atlantic fails to mention the true outcome of this “test-combining mistake” at the CDC—-which, in fact, is a purposeful maneuver.

Only the PCR should be used for case-counting (according to the conventional experts).

You take those two types of tests, the antibody and the PCR…put them together, add up those results which suggest COVID in any relevant or irrelevant way, and voila, you have inflated case numbers.  Which is exactly what the CDC wants.  They’re in the business of raising false alarms and promoting epidemics.  That’s called a crime.

TWO: In August of 2014, a long-time researcher at the CDC, William Thompson, publicly admitted that he and his co-authors intentionally lied in their study of the MMR vaccine.

They concluded the vaccine did not raise the risk of autism.  But they knew this was a fabrication.  Their data (which they threw out in the trash) pointed to an increased risk of autism in very young African American children.

Thompson refused to speak with the press, after he published his confession on his attorney Rick Morgan’s website.  Thompson said he would testify at a Congressional hearing.  Despite efforts, a hearing never materialized.  Thompson remained silent, and the CDC reassigned him to another unit.

No one at the CDC has been prosecuted for this crime.

THREE: In the fall of 2009, during the so-called Swine Flu epidemic, CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, discovered the CDC had secretly stopped counting cases in the US.

Yet, the agency was claiming tens of thousands of Americans had the epidemic disease.

She found out why the CDC had gone dark.  Here is an excerpt from an interview I did with Attkisson:

Rappoport: “In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, [secretly] stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the ‘pandemic,’ without having any real measure of its impact. Wasn’t that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasn’t there more to find out?”

Attkisson: “The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was ‘the most original story’ he’d seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it [after it was published on the CBS News website] and, in the end, no [CBS television news] broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.”

Total CDC fakery.  Turning a Nothing into a “pandemic” and selling it.  Needless to say, that is a crime.

But it isn’t end of the story.

The CDC wanted to commit another crime.  About three weeks after Attkisson’s findings were published on the CBS News website, the CDC, obviously in a panic, decided to double down.  If one lie is exposed, tell an even bigger one.  A much bigger one.

Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDC’s response: “Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents – the CDC’s best guess is 22 million – came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009].” (“22 million cases of Swine Flu in US,” by Daniel J. DeNoon).

 

Are your eyeballs popping, Mr. Trump?  They should be

Are your eyeballs popping, Mr. Trump?  They should be.

What about the Swine Flu vaccine people took in 2009, to prevent the non-existent disease?  Robert Kennedy, Jr. has made some pointed remarks on the subject.  You remember Robert, don’t you, Mr. President?  Early on in your term, you met with him and discussed the subject of dangerous vaccinations.  Notice, in this quote, Kennedy mentions your chief COVID liar, Tony Fauci:

“For example, [Dr. Anthony] Fauci once shilled for the fast-tracked H1N1 influenza (‘swine flu’) vaccine on YouTube, reassuring viewers in 2009 that serious adverse events were ‘very, very, very rare.’ Shortly thereafter, the vaccine went on to wreak havoc in multiple countries, increasing miscarriage risks in pregnant women in the U.S., provoking a spike in adolescent narcolepsy in Scandinavia and causing febrile convulsions in one in every 110 vaccinated children in Australia—-prompting the latter to suspend its influenza vaccination program in under-fives.”

FOUR: In 2003, there was a declared SARS global epidemic.  I mention it to give you a flavor of CDC reportage.

On a current CDC website page, we find this: “Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus, called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARS was first reported in Asia in February 2003. Over the next few months, the illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak of 2003 was contained.”

From reading that paragraph, you would think this was quite a dangerous and serious event.  But scrolling down further on the very same CDC page, we come to this: “According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a total of 8,098 people worldwide became sick with SARS during the 2003 outbreak. Of these, 774 died. In the United States, only eight people had laboratory evidence of SARS-CoV infection.”

 

 

The economic war against the American people is backed up and justified by massively fraudulent data and fake science

Clever devils, these CDC people, aren’t they?

I assure you, Mr. Trump, the four examples I’ve cited are only a particle of a sliver of a tip of the scandal.  The CDC has been operating as a criminal agency inside the United States for a very long time.

Sending in the FBI to seize records, indicting and prosecuting hundreds, at the very least, of their employees and top executives, and cutting the agency off from any input whatsoever concerning COVID, would mark a tremendous service to the nation.

The economic war against the American people is backed up and justified by massively fraudulent data and fake science.  A MAJOR source of that data-cascade emanates like putrid swamp water from the CDC.

Take them out, Mr. President.

Smile and Breathe When You Wear a Mask


In this false sense of security atmosphere driven to new hysterical heights by the media, let us wear the masks indefinitely until daddy government tells us to stop

Smile and Breathe When You Wear a Mask

Asmile can bring momentary sunshine in someone’s cloudy day. But, if you are wearing a mask, can you see the smile? Can you see the humanity behind the scared and sideways-darting eyes?

Perhaps the eyes express the irrational fear of death, the fear of physical contact. The human marionettes avoid physical contact, going out of their way to avoid other people, to the point of painful walking into thorny bushes and cactuses to prevent any possible proximity to other “infectious” and life-ending humans.

What happened to our civilization?

What happened to our civilization? Why are formerly normal people yelling “Stay away from me,” “Don’t come near me,” “Where is your mask, “You are violating my civil rights,” “You are endangering my health,” etc. If you are wearing a mask and your mask works, why do you care if someone else is not? Where are their civil rights to breathe oxygen and not get headaches or pass out?

What happened to saying hello and smiling at a perfect stranger or to a customer? What happened to being polite and opening a door for someone instead of running away as if they have a body-snatching virus which is going to melt you away from existence if you just come too close to another human being?

Executive orders, “four months of state and local government malfeasance,” have turned the entire population into a mob of panicked and frightened Nazi maskers, aided and abetted by out of control businesses who refuse to serve customers who cannot wear a mask for medical reasons.

Recently, a federal building’s security booth in D.C. was checking I.D.s for those entering a secure facility yet nobody removed their masks. I suppose they were checking for expiration dates on those I.D.s because nobody could tell who the persons were behind the large masks covering faces and important features. What an opportunity for terrorists to force their way into a government building and cause destruction!

Masked people are curt and rude to everyone they encounter. Doctors and nurses treat their patients with a total lack of interest and respect as if patients are an inconvenience they must tolerate.

Surgical masks are made to be used in a sterile environment, not on the street, store, or at the mall

Pharmacists yell at customers if they dare to cross over an inch over the clearly marked and numerous yellow lines and demarcations of six feet.  Busybodies remind total strangers to cover their noses lest the mask wearing is worthless.

Who decided that six feet was the magical number of separations to avoid the flu? Why not 3 or 9 feet? And is “social distancing” a medical term and yard stick to measure the health or illness of a person? Were you “social distancing” when you had an asthma attack?

People look miserable, fashionably stupid, or politically insulting with their masks on everywhere, sweating and having a hard time breathing properly.

Stores refuse service to people who have asthma and other respiratory issues and cannot get enough oxygen with a mask.  Employees with a mandate to exert their draconian power lord over customers with an iron fist made of cheap cloth that lets all viruses fly through – “no shopping for you, leave our store immediately, “ you typhoid Mary you.

Surgical masks are made to be used in a sterile environment, not on the street, store, or at the mall. They must be replaced after 20 minutes of use and should not be reused. They allegedly trap bacteria and some allergens.

Dr. Fauci told us masks were useless against viruses but another time that they were helpful in preventing viral spread.

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) could not make up their minds either

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) could not make up their minds either. They recommended that masks should be worn only if we are ill and caring for a sick family member. or Another time W.H.O. recommended that the public should wear a mask.  With so much mass confusion and for my own breathing benefit , I decided to get fresh air and sunshine on my face without a mask.

Thousands of medical doctors have advised not to wear the masks as they are not effective and can be harmful to the wearer, but the advice fell on deaf ears. Apparently non-stop “medical” advice from the media on the alphabet soup channels is more valuable than gold – they graduated from the “medical school” of journalism.

People who use beta blockers (receptors Beta-1 and Beta-2 are present in heart, eye, kidneys, lungs, GI tract, uterus, blood vessels, and skeletal muscles) know that such drugs block the beta cells in the heart but are not so discriminating that they ONLY block the beta cells in the heart, they also block beta cells in the lungs, often causing the patient to have decreased lung capacity. With a diminished lung capacity, such patients cannot breathe in adequate levels of oxygen resulting in headaches, dizziness, fainting, and other problems.  In the case of these patients, wearing a mask further exacerbates the problem. Some passed out while driving, walking, working, or shopping.

Daniel Bobinski explains the “mask fiasco” and the contradictory advice thus: “Neither CDC nor the W.H.O. suggest any Covid outpatient treatments. In other words, these agencies have zero suggested treatments for Covid UNTIL an infected person lands in the hospital.”  Doctors who follow the CDC guidelines tell their patients to self-isolate for 14 days if sick.

Why the mandate by governors and mayors to wear masks months after the first infection with Covid in the U.S.?

New England Journal of Medicine said, “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any protection from infection.”

One study in Clinical Infectious Diseases of December 2017 said, “Our analysis confirms the effectiveness of medical masks and respirators against SARS. Disposable, cotton, or paper masks are not recommended.”

Why the mandate by governors and mayors to wear masks months after the first infection with Covid in the U.S.? If the virus has spread so rapidly as the experts claimed, has much of the population not been already exposed to it?

It all has to do with mass psychology and hysteria driven by the non-stop mainstream media PSAs – make people believe that non-wearers are evil and spreading the disease hence the attacks in public; obey the all-knowing government and you will magically be protected; and wait for the expensive vaccine as the ONLY cure. This vaccine may or may not work and may have potentially dangerous side-effects. The fact that we already have a reported relatively cheap cure with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc, is irrelevant.

In this false sense of security atmosphere driven to new hysterical heights by the media, let us wear the masks indefinitely until daddy government tells us to stop. In the meantime, the economy suffers across the board and more and more businesses are declaring bankruptcy. People are afraid to go back to work or are unwilling to work as the unemployment and the stimulus checks give them more income than they could make working.

Toronto Bans Holy Communion in Churches – Is History Repeating?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada

Re-Posted Jul 17, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

There we go again… Toronto banned (Catholic and Orthodox) churches from giving Holy Communion. Not long ago, all churches were forced to close for more than two months and public Masses were banned. Now they’re opened, but Communion is banned. This virus is allowing the destruction of religion which was indeed part of the Marxist agenda. It is really amazing how draconian politicians are becoming, which is stirring up the religious right, and was a direct consequence of the Communist Revolution.

While Constantine I the Great had pictured himself with the Roman god Sol, he used Christianity as the excuse to plunder the pagan temples. There too, he used religion to divide the Roman Empire and he justified that there should be only one emperor because there was only one God.

We also find a religious war within Christianity known as Iconoclasm. Following the Byzantine Emperor Justinian (527–565) saw a vast increase in the use of images. It was the year 695AD when Justinian II’s government added a full-face image of Christ on the obverse of imperial gold coins. The change caused the Caliph Abd al-Malik to stop using Byzantine coin types and he introduced the first purely Islamic coinage with only lettering.

The iconoclasm began with Byzantine Emperor Leo III, who issued a series of edicts between 726 and 730 against the veneration of images. This ignited a religious conflict that led to priests being killed for protecting icons.

So religion has often erupted into social conflicts and civil unrest. We see this same issue reemerge during the 16th century when it erupted in Germany in Wittenberg during the early 1520s. It prompted Martin Luther to intervene arguing that the mental picturing of Christ when reading the Scriptures was similar in character to artistic renderings of Christ. Thus, the Lutherans favored sacred art in contrast to the Calvinists who argued for the removal of all religious images. Interestingly enough, it was the governments, in most cases, who removed images in the Reformed Protestant cities and territories of Europe.

There is a cycle to everything.

The New Abnormal is Global Socialism


The new abnormal, heavily advertised and promoted by the Democrat Party and woke sycophants is a huge disaster unfolding

The New Abnormal is Global Socialism

“Socialism is government force to control and change society.” – Paul B. Skousen

Ihave seen socialism creep into American education since 1979 when Jimmy Carter established the now massive bureaucracy called the Department of Education which became the blue print of socialist indoctrination in America. Through my experience first as a graduate student and then as a teacher in America, I also witnessed socialism advance in academia.

As a former citizen of a socialist republic for twenty years and after years of examining American society, I have seen in action most of the 46 goals of socialism as described by Paul B. Skousen in his book, The Naked Socialist.

Skousen’s highly accurate list describes the promotion of socialism and the U.N. as “the only hope for the world.” (#1 and #2)

As many Americans know, the U.N. and its many affiliates have managed to convince 178 countries to sign the U.N. Agenda 21 in 1992, later morphed into U.N. Agenda 2030, a document which controls every aspect of our economic and private lives through SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT and subservience to the whims of globalists, beginning with abolishing of private property and destroying the U.S., the last bastion that stands in its way.

The global green economy has been promoted for decades and the Democrat Party has officially forced it through the passing of its Green New Deal, which is neither green, nor new, nor a deal. It is a subjugation of the U.S. economy to the globalist U.N. Agenda 2030. (#4)

We saw the influence of the World Health Organization (WHO), a U.N. affiliate, and its false claims about Covid-19 which pretty much destroyed the robust U.S. economy and left millions unemployed, all for the common good.

Environmentalists and CDC doctors became controllers of everything we do as human beings and business owners. Everything was brought to its knees in a mere five months, including religion, education, and organized sports.

Liberals and the socialist Democrat Party have been advocating no borders and vilifying President Trump for securing the border. (#3)

One-world currency servicing the one world government is already being touted through the cashless society.  A fully cashless economy means EVERYTHING is digital, traceable, and controlled. (#5)

A Cashless Society

No cash means, among many other nefarious elements of control:

  • No odd jobs to make an extra payment for your mortgage or car
  • No summer cash earned during school
  • No cash from Grandma inside birthday cards and on holidays
  • No more piggy banks or savings for a special event/trip
  • No more rainy day fund
  • No more quick sale of that old bike or garage sales
  • No more hiring of teenagers to cut your lawn
  • No more collection for charity

Banks will have total control over every single penny you earn and it will be recorded electronically. If you misbehave or belong to a divergent thinking group, your electronic money will be unreachable until such a time that you have been scored socially adequate. Every movement will be recorded and traceable, no more off the grid economic activity. Every penny in your possession will be taxed and no more jobs under the table. There will be no more criminal and underground economic activity. (#27)

Somehow, during the Covid-19 lockdown, the nation is running out of change and stores are encouraging people to stop using cash. They say, money is dirty (it is literally and figuratively) and can easily spread disease. We seem to have managed fine since the invention of coins and paper money stashed in strange places circulated for millennia but suddenly they have become public enemy number one. (#5)

The paid mobs of rioters/protesters are holding glossy and preprinted signs advocating the U.N. goal of private property elimination, of private land, of wealth

Control of the Internet and installing a thought police on social media has become a way to silence and censor conservative and libertarian points of view under the excuse that such thoughts violate “community standards.” Such obscure community standards include only leftist opinions. Facebook, Twitter, and Google do a pretty good job of policing opinions they dislike and wish to squash. (#6)

Mobs of violent protesters and rioters and the vagina-hat women’s marches screech about economic equality,  which strictly speaking is impossible. Equal pay is also impossible as we all have different levels of education, qualification, experience, work ethic, skill, willingness to do dangerous and unpleasant jobs, etc. We also have employment laws in place that bar job discrimination based on race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, culture, or disability. (#8)

In line with U.N. Agenda 2030 recommendations, we have already seen many advances in regulating all transportation under the ruse of pollution limits, fuel efficiency, and preventing further damage to the environment. (#15) This also includes the nationalization of energy production under the excuse of equal access to natural resources. (#16)

The paid mobs of rioters/protesters are holding glossy and preprinted signs advocating the U.N. goal of private property elimination, of private land, of wealth, of suburbia living because it is socially unjust. People can only live well if all land is used for the “common good,” a key word for the communist collective. (#17)

Hollywood and the media have promoted for decades pornography, gender fluidity, and other promiscuous activities in order to destroy the family unit, marriage, and the Christian faith. (#18, #20, #21) Any degeneracy has been portrayed as “normal, natural, healthy.” (#19) Deviations from the two biological sex distinctions have mushroomed. (#22)

Students are controlled through socialist, social justice written textbooks and revisionist history in schools and NGO-driven (non-profits) environmentalism synchronized with U.N. Agenda 21

Using the environment as a ruse, socialist globalists have created a one world governing body (under United Nations) in order to control any economic activity and development as a SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT lynchpin goal.

The population has been forced into making “ecologically correct” choices – low-flush toilets, low-water washers, electric or hybrid cars, recycling, mandatory recyclable packaging, low-energy use appliances, CFL bulbs, solar panels, and rationed electricity access via controlled smart meters. (#32)

Students are controlled through socialist, social justice written textbooks and revisionist history in schools and NGO-driven (non-profits) environmentalism synchronized with U.N. Agenda 21 17 sustainable development goals. (#37)

The media has done a spectacular job of advancing socialism into society by controlling information and misrepresenting reality through daily lies in non-ending indoctrination of the pliable masses and low information voters. The juvenile attacks and insults on the President Donald J. Trump are never-ending and based solely on lies. (#38)

Socialism has marched unimpeded and is now devolving into Marxism, aided and abetted by other sources and means:

Presenting work as optional by providing funds from government for economic stimulus spending, unemployment (caused by the same people issuing the “generous” help from taxpayer dollars or from baseless money printing), endless welfare, illness, retirement. (#40)

Socialism has been a tragedy, failing miserably in all the tyrannical Communist Party-ruled socialist republics

  • Ignoring the Constitution and brainwashing people that it is an old-fashioned document. (#41)
  • Present Founding Fathers and American heroes as exploiters who did not care for the downtrodden. (#42) Making heroes out of cowards who burn the American flag and loot and burn stores while ignoring the real heroes. Use mobs to destroy historical statues and replace them with Marxist symbolism.
  • Discredit American culture and history in schools; present the discoveries and inventions of white men as supremacist and racist; use Caucasian academics to teach that whites are successful because of a media-manufactured construct called “white privilege.” (#43)
  • Government regulations in education, welfare, mental health, social agencies, arts, media, hospital care, doctor care, pharmaceuticals in an attempt to control everything. (#44)
  • Overt installation of socialism, beginning with the socialists in Congress, schools, and academia. (#45)
  • Use chaos and panic driven by the media and a viral crisis (Covid-19) to deploy top-down government control around the world and restriction on personal rights and freedoms—where and how to shop, worship, walk, get food, see a doctor, and how long to wear an oxygen-reducing mask. (#46)

The new abnormal, heavily advertised and promoted by the Democrat Party and woke sycophants is a huge disaster unfolding. Socialism has been a tragedy, failing miserably in all the tyrannical Communist Party-ruled socialist republics, but, if you ask the average indoctrinated and well-fed American students, they think that socialism/communism are better alternatives to the “evil” capitalism. I know firsthand, it is a gross distortion of reality.

Can’t Lean On Black Lives Matter, Only Kneel Before Them


‘Lean on Me’ is a beautiful, hand-clapping song. ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’, America’s much revered National Anthem.

Re-posted from The Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 15, 2020

Can’t Lean On Black Lives Matter, Only Kneel Before Them

Abad idea whose time has come: It started when Black Lives Matter protesters began temporarily suspending their signature chants, screeches and wailings during protests to sing super talented Bill Wither’s song,’Lean on Me’—an idea that crash landed at the L.A. Times with a suggestion that the song should replace the National Anthem.

But Baby, It’s Gotta’ Be Cold Outside’ when a catchy, hand-clapping tune can replace the 206-year-old ‘Star-Spangled Banner!

“An op-ed from The Los Angeles Times raised eyebrows for calling on “The Star-Spangled Banner” to be canceled as the national anthem. (Fox News, July 14, 2020)

“imposing and fussy.”

“Contributing writer Jody Rosen began his column by slamming a San Francisco monument of Francis Scott Key, who famously wrote the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” as “imposing and fussy.”

“After noting that the Key statue had been taken down by rioters, Rosen appeared to offer a justification for the vandalism as he, too, was a slaveowner.”

Rosen authored the book ‘White Christmas: The Story of an American Song’.  How long before the revisionist culture delists the song because of its first word?

“The wave of reckoning and revisionism that is sweeping the country may have to come for the national anthem,” Rosen wrote, pointing to viral claims that “The Star-Spangled Banner” is a “racist song” that stems from Key’s poem “Defence of Fort M’Henry,” which invokes slaves. (Fox News)

“Rosen listed several songs that have been floated around to become the next national anthem, including John Lennon’s “Imagine,” James Weldon Johnson’s “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” as well as other iconic American tunes like “God Bless America,” “America the Beautiful,” and “This Land is Your Land.”

“Nope, none of these songs will do,” Rosen argued. “At a moment when the United States is in the grip of multiple crises — convulsed by debates over racism and injustice, ravaged by a pandemic, with a crumbling economy and a faltering democracy — the very idea of a national anthem, a hymn to the glory of country, feels like a crude relic, another monument that may warrant tearing down. But if we must have an anthem, it should be far different than the one we’ve got now, positing another kind of patriotism, an alternative idea of America and Americanness. It would also be neat if it was, you know, a decent song, which a citizen could sing without crashing into an o’er or a thee, or being asked to pole vault across octaves.”

“The LA Times writer concluded that such a song should be Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me.”

“It’s a modest song that puts on no airs. It speaks in plain musical language, without a trace of bombast, in a tidy arrangement that unfolds over a few basic chords. It doesn’t march to a martial beat or rise to grand crescendos. The lyrics hold no pastoral images of fruited plains or oceans white with foam, no high-minded invocations of liberty or God. ‘Lean on Me’ is a deeply American song — but it’s not, explicitly at least, a song about America,” Rosen explained. “Yet it has long been a kind of national anthem. ‘Lean on Me’ is one of just a handful of songs to have reached No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts in two different versions… It is surely among the most widely sung American songs of the past half-century.”

“Rosen noted all the famous singers who have performed the hit song, like Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Garth Brooks, Shawn Mendes and Nick Jonas, and how the song was sung at Black Lives Matter protests across the country in recent weeks and was used as a tribute to first responders towards the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak.

“What do all of these singers hear in ‘Lean on Me’? They hear a message of friendship and fellow-feeling so straightforward it may at first appear banal,” Rosen continued.

“When you bolster that sentiment, as Withers does, with some handclaps and a funky bassline, the words ring even truer. It’s a message you could build something on, a pretty solid foundation for a decent society. It can bear the load.”

“Rosen’s suggestion, however, was widely panned on social media.

“It’s almost like they’re trying to reelect Trump,” Tom Bevan, RealClearPolitics president and co-founder, reacted.

“Let’s replace it with ‘Everybody’s Special’ from Barney and Friends,” Ben Shapiro joked.

“Let’s just Etch-a-Sketch everything and start the country from scratch, shall we? Saves time…” The Hill media reporter Joe Concha suggested.

“First they wanted you to kneel, and now they want to replace the national anthem. This is an erasure of our history and tradition—plain and simple,” Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., warned.

“There has been a cultural shift following the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd, a Black man, died after a White police officer held his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes.

“The television shows “Cops” and “Live PD” were canceled, “Gone With the Wind” was temporarily pulled from HBO Max and re-added with historical context. White actors have withdrawn from voicing characters of color on animated TV shows, brands like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s have been retired, and episodes of sitcoms featuring blackface have been removed from streaming platforms. And the Washington Redskins will be retiring its longtime franchise name.”

But no one seems able to read ‘The End’ after any of the above.

‘Lean on Me’ is a beautiful, hand-clapping song.  ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’, America’s much revered National Anthem.

As for BLM’ adopting ‘Lean on Me’ as its own,  nothing American can lean on BLM which only wants an entire nation to kneel to them.

Yesterday’s Slave Owners and Today’s Statues are Not Killing 3000 Black and White Humans per Day


Punishing Memories and Monuments

Defending righteous causes is one thing, but becoming a moral hypocrite is quite another.

Roe V. Wade landed on  Planet Earth in 1973 and declared that it would be one small step for moral reprobates and liars, and one giant leap for hypocrites.

Planned Parenthood and an army of selfish women, indifferent men and politically twisted advocates of slaughter, have since stormed the congress for cash to keep the purge alive, while wasting  babies at a rate of almost 3,000 a day.

The “woke” are fast asleep and The BLM has no idea about what lives matter

Ideologues and activists have provided a plethora of slogans and a vast field of arguments to justify and perpetuate the lie that lazy, self-indulgent, and perfectly selfish women are practicing good health, by aborting their unborn babies.

The abortionists want to force the use and perpetuation of abortifacients on organizations like The Little Sisters of the Poor, but can’t seem to find enough personal control in their own moments of peak lust to get some prevention. The result is, many dead, perfectly healthy and possibly very useful and productive human beings.

There are always a few good causes left to die for, but no one would argue that self-indulgence is one of them. But then, it is not their lives the indulgent are paying with.

If all or any part of their redundant and ever so tiring argument fails, there is always the classic and thoroughly effective final volley of fire known as – It’s the law of the land.

There is no restoration in the midst of reprobation!

When any movement or part of society is unable to see or even note its own hypocrisy you have passed from pretty bad to full blown reprobation.

Reprobation cannot hide under the trend of the day because it is a great swollen and fully obvious insult to everything that is normal, much less sacred. Now is the time to recognize the hypocrisy, or perish in its inevitable product.

The “woke” are fast asleep.

The BLM has no idea about what lives matter.

The Cancel Culture has cancelled itself

The Cancel Culture has cancelled itself, even if those who are cutting off others don’t recognize that salient simple fact.

Antifa is just a step below Isis and its adherents should return to their parent’s basements and the video games.

Trump haters have long since dumped their cause under the heading of extreme, absurd and mostly useless. After the Russia hoax and half dozen other false starts – that too has become boring and idiotic.

Biden, Sanders, Pelosi, Ilhan Omar and AOC have tried to sell us a bag of rotten fruit (socialism) that has failed anywhere in this world where it was ever tried.

Pulling down a few statues, renaming sports teams and bending the knee is like trying to fix rotten wood with a coat of paint.

So what should we do?

Mother used to say it all the time – just cut it out.

Headlines that Betray the Hypocrites – You can judge a book by its cover after all!

After writing for over 35 years and publishing for 15 years, this writer has discovered some interesting facts. It is easy to tell what Americans are thinking by what they are reading.

I have tried to warn some writers, that their article titles are the hook for the rest of their work. Short titles like, How to Relax, get about 90 percent less reads than titles that are lengthy, challenging and informative. The title of the article is equivalent to the cover of the book.

A compendium of current titles can reveal the collective pathology of a rising or falling nation.

Here, in this cross section of titles and headlines you can see a serious fall. These are the headlines that should reveal and decry our hypocrisies rather than giving them fuel.

The first one comes from the Internet’s noted satire and tongue in cheek site called ‘The Babylon Bee’.   It is a perfect example of how a title can carry rebuke or truth even though it is meant for comedy:

Nation That Kills 3,000 Babies A Day Feels Morally Superior To Slaveowners From 200 Years Ago

The rest are not meant for comedy and it is abundantly clear that there isn’t a stitch of humor in what they reveal.

How badly we are treating our children

Family of 1-year-old killed in Brooklyn slams ‘cowards’ who shot him: ‘What about baby lives?’
If Black Lives Matter, Defund Planned Parenthood, Not The Police

“LGBT education pack” features six-year-old engaging in sexual activity, as pedophilia becomes normalized

Since every one of these article titles has something to do with how badly we are treating our children, then here is an entire list of 29 titles on children wasted and disregarded for your perusal.

These titles are the tip of the spear or the blade of the sword. If they cut you to the heart then something good has been accomplished.

If you are offended by these titles consider this warning about offenses.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Mt 18:6)

Conservative Campaign Committee’s Mini-Tour for GOP Candidates and Trump’s Reelection

Conservative Campaign Committee's Mini-Tour for GOP Candidates and Trump's Reelection

Hello America, This is Lloyd Marcus reporting in from Boulder City Nevada. My wife Mary and I flew from West Virginia to join the Conservative Campaign Committee’s mini-tour, campaigning for GOP candidates and to reelect Trump. We had a 7 hour layover between flights.

First stop on the tour was Boulder City. CCC’s multilayered initiative includes rallying locals to join us in waving signs for GOP candidates and Trump on busy street corners. Temperatures were over 100 degrees. Mary and I felt America is worth our exhaustion and suffering the tremendous heat.

“All lives matter! Don’t you think all lives matter to God?”

With all the anti-American craziness going on in streets across our homeland, frustrated everyday Americans need to see people on street corners stand up for America. Motorists overwhelmingly appreciated and supported our efforts; honking their horns while giving us thumbs up.

Three 15 to 16 year old black female pedestrians walked up to our group of sign-wavers. Disrespectful of our ages, they repeatedly yelled, “Black lives matter! F*** Trump!” I confronted them saying, “All lives matter! Don’t you think all lives matter to God?”

Perhaps I was tired from the exhausting flight. Or, perhaps it was the bone-dry tremendous heat that caused me to rant at the girls for several minutes. Finally, one of the girls sheepishly conceded. “Yes, all lives matter.”

I shot a video on a Boulder City street corner.

Our goal is to inspire patriots across America to stand up for America with rallies and so on. I learned that patriots in California have scheduled a Pro America/ Pro Trump Rally. Awesome! That’s what I am talking about.

Tomorrow, our crew will drive to the next city on our tour for another sign-wave with appreciative enthusiastic locals. Our crew must be ready to hit the road at 7am. Meanwhile, my body is still on east coast time.

Alberta & Separatism in Canada


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada

Re-Posted Jul 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi there, I’ve got a question for Marty. I currently live in Alberta, Canada and I am seeing everything happen that you talk about even in this “conservative” province, let alone what is happening out east in Ontario and Quebec. My question to you is where is the safest place in Canada to be? I remember at the conference in Orlando you mentioning that most of these separatist movements will come to fruition by 2022. With the separation idea picking up some momentum here, what are your thoughts? Thank you for all that you do. Me and my family certainly would not be in the prepared position we are without the information you post on all the blogs in addition to the reversals and arrays.

Best Regards,

A

ANSWER: I am not at liberty to say specifically, but I can say that members from the various political separatist parties attended the Orlando WEC and we have offered to assist at no charge. We will be addressing those issues in next year’s Canadian Report. This entire coronavirus scam is tearing the very bonds of civilization apart. Only an idiot would ignore the demographics of the COVID-19 population-level mortality risk for non-elderly individuals overall and for non-elderly individuals without underlying diseases in pandemic epicenters. It is unimaginable that the mainstream media is that stupid. The ONLY reasonable conclusion is that what they are doing is deliberate political terrorism with the intent to distort all evidence supporting the assertion that the government reaction and media chanting about this virus has been vastly overwrought. We are dealing with such dishonesty in the media and governments around the world

People under 65-years-old have very small risks of COVID-19 death even in pandemic epicenters and deaths for people under 65 years without underlying predisposing conditions are remarkably uncommon. This is an orchestrated deliberate attack upon the economy to kill capitalism which is our ability to be free. Bankers and billionaires bribing politicians is NOT capitalism — that is corruption.

Capitalism is your freedom to choose what profession you would desire and to retain your own wealth as well as your own property. Strategies focusing specifically on protecting high-risk elderly individuals that should be considered in managing the pandemic have been ignored by epidemiologists who are in their glory directing the destruction of the world economy with no regard for the consequences.

Government & Media Induced Psychological Terrorism


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics

Re-Posted Jul 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Anyone who ever took a class in psychology will recognize that what the media and government are doing is clear psychological terrorism, which appears to be directed at breaking the bonds of civilization right down to the core. Civilization is created by people coming together and bonding. This is the foundation of a civilization built upon a mutual benefit for all. Civilization begins its decline when the government crosses the line and sees itself as the creator of civilization in their delusional world of power. What they are doing with the aid of the left-wing press has been the deliberate instilling of fear in the air that is beyond belief. Their delusion knows no bounds for they think they can tear the foundation of civilization apart to win at all costs, and then they ASSUME it will end and they will be in power and all we’ll be good.

We have heard of the book, “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds” in terms of market boom and busts. However, using this coronavirus these people have created this delusion on an unbelievable scale. I was walking down the beach and I saw a woman with an oversized hat, a gas mask, and goggles. I was dumbfounded. You walk the beach for the fresh sea air. This outfit was beyond description and I wish I had my phone just to illustrate how insane she was acting.

The public is adopting what you would call a personality disorder that now threatens society as a whole. Any practicing psychiatrist specializing in anxiety disorders or paranoid delusions, not to mention irrational fears, will tell you that this is a very serious medical condition in an individual. Yet here we are dealing with the whole population. These people have induced a primal fear of this coronavirus that has been escalated into mass panic solely for political purposes. It is clearly deliberate and totally irresponsible. The psychological damage would take years to address in an individual. Here we are dealing with society. They are breaking civilization at its core and this is the first required step to the breakup of the United States and Europe. People will no longer trust each other and fear they may be diseased and prefer to keep their distance. Once that begins, the economy starts to crumble and there will be no reversing this trend.

Thank you, CNN, New York Times, and Washington Post for your contributions to the destruction of not just the United States, but western civilization.

Australia Using COVID to Impose A$4,000 Fine Per Person


Armstrong Economics Blog/Australia & Oceania

Re-Posted Jul 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

In Australia, anyone traveling from Victoria, or people who have visited the state in the past 14 days, are barred from entering Queensland unless they are returning residents or have a rare exemption. They fined a group of people $24,000 for trying to enter Queensland and lying about where they had been. This is no longer a government that respects people or human rights. They are using COVID as an excuse to be draconian to the point that historically such governments have always been tyrannical.

The Queensland police are being extremely nasty fining people $4,000 if they try to enter Queensland. One must wonder at what point do such tactics invoke extreme violence? Police officers who protect the government like this are often seen as the face of tyranny. They should be very careful when a line is crossed and the people turn against the government, because that is when the police will find themselves hunted as traitors to the people.
