Fake News is Part of Revolution


Armstrong Economics Blog/Revolution Re-Posted Apr 13, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

A Texas man who allegedly planned to bomb an Amazon Web Services data center in Virginia was arrested Thursday, according to the US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas. The FBI has filed a criminal complaint in federal court over a malicious attempt to destroy a building with an explosive. This is just the start. We will see journalists targeted as well a Big Tech. You cannot create this cancel culture without a violent reaction. Fake news is part of EVERY revolution. It was an integral part of the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror, which we seem to be heading into.

This entire nonsense of a COVID passport is political. With a minimum death rate of 0.028%, there is absolutely no justification for what is going on. Thousands of students have dropped out of college because of COVID. Others have sent in emails saying they were once on the president’s honor list, and with remote learning, they have failed one class and got a D in another. Many complain that the schools have laid off their teachers and are using remote teachers from other states who are often foreigners who are difficult to understand.

The losses to small businesses are off the charts. Even in Canada, the credit agencies are warning that 53% of Canadians are now insolvent. We will see violence against both Big Tech and journalists. This is inevitable, and they are the very people pushing this revolution, which is wiping out people’s lives and altering their future without ever telling the people the real agenda behind this Great Reset.

•The situation started just before 2 p.m Sunday when officers tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation on the 6300 block of Orchard Avenue in the Brooklyn Center area of Minneapolis. •During the stop police learned the driver, Daunte Wright (20), had an outstanding warrant.  •Police attempted to take him into custody, but Daunte Wright fought with police and got back into the vehicle. •As the man got back into the vehicle an officer fired her gun hitting Wright.  •Daunte Wright was able to drive several blocks before hitting another vehicle. •Police said they attempted to revive Wright but he died at the scene.

Today police released the body camera video of the police shooting of Wright during the traffic stop in Brooklyn Center.  Police Chief Tim Gannon said the fatal shot was the result of an accidental discharge, and that the officer who shot Wright had intended to reach for her taser, but discharged a handgun instead.

… And the riots and looting began almost immediately.

… And Ben Crump is en route.

More Fake Hate – Black Leftist College Student Admits to Drawing Racist Graffiti to Stir up Racial Strife and Enhance Racial Animosity


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 8, 2021 | Sundance | 160 Comments

Fake hate crimes are seemingly more prevalent than actual hate crimes now as victimhood is a currency for glorification.  A BLACK student at Albion College in Michigan now admits to writing racist graffiti.   The school previously launched an investigation and contacted the FBI for assistance.

With the Fake Hate exposed, now the school is downplaying the events in a misguided, politically correct effort to heal the student body. “College officials are encouraging members of the community to care for one another and lean on faculty, staff and community members who are supporting them.”  In other words, stand in your safe space because the need for your safe space is important, even though the need for your safe space was false.

ALBION, MI — Albion College and the Albion Department of Public Safety say a student is responsible for racist graffiti found in a dorm last weekend.

Albion police brought the 21-year-old Black male in for questioning on April 6, according to Chief Scott Kipp. The student admitted to creating most of the graffiti, and video evidence from Albion’s Campus Safety Department confirms the statements made by the student, Kipp said.  (read more)

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Forewarns CBS News: “There’s Going to Be Consequences” For Your Lies


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 6, 2021 | Sundance | 136 Comments

Earlier today during a news conference Florida Governor hinted at legal action against CBS News for their “intentional” and “premeditated lies” during the 60 Minutes hit piece against him and the administration.

By all accounts the intentional creation of a false story, with specific intent to lie, is enough for legal action against the corporate media outlet. This could get very interesting…. WATCH:

Even Democrats in Florida are upset at the way CBS intentionally lied about the facts of the events.  Making matters even more interesting CBS attacked one of Florida’s most cherished companies, Publix Supermarket, who sets the standard for community stewardship and taking care of employees.

Two Black Teenagers Who Killed Pakistani Immigrant During Carjacking Receive Plea Deal for No Prison Time


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 5, 2021 | Sundance | 220 Comments

A horrific crime late last month as two black teenage girls in Washington DC were charged with murder following their attack on an Uber-eats driver, 66-year-old Pakistani immigrant, Mohammad Anwar. The event was caught on camera by a bystander. They assaulted Anwar with a stun gun and then proceeded to steal his car while he tried to stop them.

The suspects, ages 13 and 15, stand accused of attacking the driver inside his car as he was driving near Nationals Park in the southeast section of Washington DC. Despite having a long rap-sheet of prior criminal activity, in a stunning display of prosecutorial conduct today it is reported the teens reached the plea deal with prosecutors that would ensure they are not incarcerated past the age of 21 nor placed in a prison facility.

(Via Daily Mail) Two girls, ages 13 and 15, who were charged with the murder and carjacking of a Pakistani immigrant killed last month while working at his job delivering food in Washington, DC, have reportedly reached a plea deal with prosecutors. 

[…] According to The Washington Post, Lindemann gave no indication that her office would try to transfer the older teen’s case to adult court. Under DC law, the 13-year-old could not be prosecuted as an adult due to her age.  The judge set the next court date for April 20 to discuss the status of the case.

A video of the incident shows the encounter unfolding in a minute and a half, ending with Anwar’s Honda Accord on its side, the girls climbing out and a fatally injured Anwar sprawled and motionless on the sidewalk. (read more)

Reverse the races and this plea agreement would be considered enough to create riots…

Democrat Palm Beach County Mayor Calls 60 Minutes Segment on Governor DeSantis “Intentionally False”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 5, 2021 | Sundance | 142 Comments

After the CBS news program 60 Minutes ran a fraudulent attack against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing him of a pay-to-play scheme for vaccine rollout in Palm Beach County, the DEMOCRAT mayor of the county, Dave Kerner, eviscerates CBS with a statement saying “The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false.”

Apparently the mayor of the county attempted to provide clarity to the false accusations of CBS; but the network refused to listen to him because they had a political agenda to broadcast and the truth of what Mayor Kerner could provide was against the interests of the network objective.   Mayor Kerner full statement {HERE} and below:

“I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false. I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and 60 Minutes declined. They know that the Governor came to Palm Beach County and met with me and the County Administrator and we asked to expand the state’s partnership with Publix to Palm Beach County. We also discussed our own local plans to expand mass vaccinations centers throughout the county, which the Governor has been incredibly supportive.

We asked and he delivered. They had that information, and they left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.

We have confronted this pandemic for over a year. Our residents, like all Americans, are tired. And the media is making it worse. They are hellbent on dividing us for cheap views and clicks. 60 Minutes should be ashamed.

I thank the Governor for supporting the residents of Palm Beach County. Because of his efforts, working in coordination with Palm Beach County officials, over 275,000 seniors in our county-which is over 75% of the total senior population- have been vaccinated. I am proud of how our county and state leadership have executed on this important mission, and the results speak for themselves.”

Dave Kerner
County Mayor

In order for left-wing ideologues, including corporate media, to continue their attack narrative against the principle values of the United States, they have to pretend not to know things….

CBS Attempts To Controversialize Florida Governor Ron DeSantis For Doing Exceptional Job With COVID Response


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 5, 2021 | Sundance | 41 Comments

You can always tell who the left-wing media fear by the way they attempt to create false attacks against them.  Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has done an outstanding job leading his state through the COVID crisis.

While balancing the economic needs of the people, and keeping the majority of the state functioning and open, DeSantis prioritized protecting the most vulnerable elderly citizens; and then, once available, coordinating the COVID vaccine for that vulnerable population by expediting a massive distribution network to be the first state with over one million doses administered for those who wanted it.   In addition DeSantis allowed local communities to make their own decisions about mask wearing and school opening.

As a result the population was protected, cases lower than a majority of states and the principles of small effective government exhibited.  In essence, Governor Ron DeSantis embarrassed the heralded blue state governors (Newsom, CA, and Cuomo, NY) with an open economy and a protected population.  DeSantis exhibited strong principle-centered leadership and the results speak for themselves.

Because his leadership advanced a popular opinion that he should run for president in 2024, the left-wing media attempt to create an attack narrative with a 60-Minutes hit-job on the vaccination rollout.  The false narrative is so fundamentally flawed even legislative democrats in Florida are coming to his defense.

Jared Moskowitz is the Director of Florida’s Emergency Management *AND* a three-term democrat state legislator (source):

When the COVID crisis broke out DeSantis used the Florida National Guard to protect the elderly and nursing homes with medical resources, supply chain and logistics for quarantine needs.   DeSantis used the recommended federal lock-down period to complete infrastructure projects on roads and bridges.

Ron DeSantis was the first governor to drop the state-wide mask mandate and eliminate any fines or punishment for not wearing a mask throughout the state.  He was the first governor to re-open restaurants for eat-in dining, against opposition, and he kept the schools open for in-person teaching.

DeSantis partnered with private sector for supply chain and logistics for vaccine rollout and he prioritized the vulnerable population; and he was the first state to achieve one million doses of vaccine delivered.  He kept the economy open allowing business and local communities to make decisions at a local level, and he was the first governor to speak out against the COVID passport nonsense noting patient privacy as a key issue.

Florida also hosted the Superbowl without issue and has supported local venues making decisions on their COVID responses.   As a result the economy in Florida continued to grow and unemployment is approximately half the national average.

Perhaps DeSantis biggest accomplishment was keeping the principles of individual responsibility, liberty and freedom at the forefront of his decisionmaking.  Obviously, that makes him a threat to the far-left…. ergo, the CBS attempt to attack… which failed because it is manipulated and FALSE, BIGLY.

Ideological Follower of Louis Farrakhan Attacks White House, One Officer Killed – Capitol Hill Police Cannot Find Motive, Media Deflect Identity of Suspect


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 2, 2021 | Sundance | 310 Comments

A follower of Louis Farrakhan named Noah Green attacked the White House and Capitol Complex earlier today killing one police officer and wounding another.  The suspect rammed his vehicle into a police barricade before exiting the vehicle with a knife and being shot by responding officers.

Had this been a white male suspect the manipulative narrative about the need for capitol hill security would have been the preferred narrative of the media.  However, with the race and ideological characteristics of the disturbed suspect now identified by independent sources, all useful pretense will be dropped and the story will disappear soon.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A motorist rammed a vehicle into U.S. Capitol police on Friday and brandished a knife, killing one officer and injuring another and forcing the Capitol complex to lock down in an attack that police said did not immediately appear to be terrorism-related.

Police responded by firing on the suspect, who died.

Yogananda Pittman, acting chief of the United States Capitol Police, told a news conference that he drove into the officers then hit a barricade and got out of the car, lunging at them with a knife in his hand.

One officer was killed and the other was injured, she said.

“It does not appear to be terrorism-related but obviously we’ll continue to investigate,” said Robert Contee, acting chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington.  Police said the suspect was unknown to them, they had yet to determine what had motivated him, and they did not identify him.

“Clearly this was someone who was actively trying to just get at whoever or whatever – we just don’t know right now, so we have a responsibility to investigate that to get to the bottom of this. Whether the attack was at law enforcement, or whoever, we have a responsibility to get to the bottom of it and we’ll do that,” Contee said. (read more)

Corporate Woke Culture (Delta Airlines, Coca Cola, Apple) Targets Georgia Politics and Voter ID Laws


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 1, 2021 | Sundance | 217 Comments

Let’s first get things in the correct perspective.  The loud voices of the far-left (Media Matters, Act Blue, Share Blue, and all sub-groups therein) do an excellent job pressuring private industry to go along with their cultural wokeisms.  They are a minority group, but they are loud and their Big Tech allies control the mechanisms that make the appearance of their voice seem bigger and larger than it is.

This approach has been progressively true since 2007.  As a consequence they have an organized activation system to immediately target corporations to put pressure on them to respond to the approved politics of the left.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, the Georgia legislature went to work reforming their election laws to make voter fraud harder, and election integrity a priority.  This triggered the activist network; who then notify their leftist subsidiaries to swarm their corporate contacts.  Now we are seeing the results of that activation.

What results is a major hypocritical position from the corporations who concede to the demands of the wokeists.  Delta airlines puts out a statement against the Georgia election reform… but you need an ID to board a Delta flight.  Apple puts out a statement deriding the Georgia election reform…. but you need an Apple ID to engage with Apple products, and there’s a password on an Apple phone for a reason, DUH!

But yet again, always remember…. In order for the far left to advance their political ideology they have to pretend not to know things.  That is the essential underpinning of the hypocrisy they must ignore.

♦ Via NBC – CEOs for Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola came out in strong opposition to Georgia’s recently passed voting law on Wednesday, both calling the law “unacceptable.”

On Wednesday morning, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a memo to employees that the law is “unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values.”

“Let me be crystal clear and unequivocal, this legislation is unacceptable,” Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said later that day on CNBC. (read more)

♦ WASHINGTON  – Apple CEO Tim Cook criticized Georgia’s new voting law in an interview with Axios published on Thursday, joining a growing number of CEOs who have condemned the new measure, which is seen as making it more difficult for Blacks and other minority groups to vote.

“The right to vote is fundamental in a democracy. American history is the story of expanding the right to vote to all citizens, and Black people, in particular, have had to march, struggle and even give their lives for more than a century to defend that right,” Cook told Axios.

The Georgia voting legislation was signed by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) last week. The laws limit the use of ballot drop boxes, create new voter ID requirements and prohibit people other than poll workers from giving food and drink to voters standing in line at polls. (read more)
