Half of Americans Questioning COVID Vax


Posted Jun 2, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement has opened the public’s eyes to the truth surrounding the COVID-19 plandemic and authoritative mandates that permanently damaged public health and confidence in governments. The Food and Drug Administration announced it will no longer recommend the COVID-19 vaccine to children and pregnant women, while also stating that vaccine manufacturers must list the known risks of their so-called “safe and effective” mRNA concoctions. The public is beginning to see the truth.

A new study found that 51% of Americans believe the COVID-19 vaccines led to heart issues. Around 69% of Republicans, 39% of Democrats, and 49% of independents now admit that the vaccine caused serious health implications that could permanently damage the heart. The same poll found that only half of respondents believe the mRNA vaccine should remain on the market, and only 35% admitted to taking the annual booster shot.

In September 2021, all businesses with 100 employees or more were required to take the vaccine or undergo weekly testing. Employers could fire employees for refusing to take the vaccine. All federal employees, including military members, were forced to take the vaccine under Biden’s orders. “I call on business leaders to immediately join those who have already stepped up—including one third of Fortune 100 companies—and institute vaccination requirements to protect their workers, customers, and communities,” Biden said after the Supreme Court ruled in January 2022 that it would be unconstitutional to force large companies to mandate the vaccine.

Anyone who spoke out against the vaccine was silenced, deplatformed, debanked, or worse. The CDC, FDA, HHS, and VIS all insisted that the vaccine was “safe and effective.” The public bought the narrative.

By June 2021, 65% of adults in the US had received at least one dose of the vaccine, with the figure rising to 72.8% by December of that year. Do not forget that they attempted to wear us down to coerce us into taking the vaccine. By June 2022, it is estimated that 77% to 81% of the US population had received at least one dose of the vaccine. States with stricter measures saw higher rates of vaccination. By mid-2022, 8 in 10 Americans had undergone the largest pharmaceutical study in human history.

VAXXED

Not everyone willingly took the vaccine, but the general consensus was that it was “safe and effective.” Half of Americans now believe that the vaccine did contain dangers that were hidden from the public. People are finally beginning to open their eyes to the truth surrounding 2020. Many are advising Trump to pull the vaccine from the shelves entirely, but there are still some who vehemently believe in the narrative. We had people creating identities based on the vaccination, like Governor Kathy Hochul wearing a “vaxed” necklace, and others who felt they were saving the planet by adhering to protocol. People were placing vaxxed bumper stickers on their cars, flying flags, and even donning jewelry to tell the world they were willing sheep. Under 25% of American adults and 14% of children received a COVID booster this year. While the core group that supports the mRNA vaccine will always exist, it is a far cry from 2022, when 80% of the population was taking this unknown drug. Skepticism is safe and effective.

Petrodollar Conspiracy

Petrodollar 10

QUESTION: Some claim that the entire strength of the dollar is oil, which backed it after the gold standard fell. I know you said that was a convenient theory, and some now claim Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia is Petrodollar 2.0. You managed money for OPEC and were even in an OPEC meeting, so who better to address this issue than you? I was at your 1985 conference in Princeton, and there were all the Arab nations attending in their white robes, while the Hasidic Jews were attending from the NY garment industry in their black garb. That was an eye-opening conference. So my question is, does oil have any basis for supporting the dollar, or is this another conspiracy theory, like gold going up with inflation?

Yours truly

SM

REPLY: Sam, it’s good to hear from you. You bring up old memories. We have grown old together. If I recall, you were there with your father. I remember when he died. To start with, the percentage of world trade attributed to oil and petroleum products is approximately 8-10% based on the 2022 data. Merchandise Trade in 2022 globally totaled around $25 trillion (WTO data). Of that, crude oil and refined petroleum product exports worldwide were estimated to be between $2.2 and 2.5 trillion (depending on price fluctuations and trade volumes). This includes contributions from OPEC, which are only 40% of crude exports, and non-OPEC exporters like the U.S., Russia, and Canada.

Newsweek_Feb_10_1975_Petrodollar r

Therefore, if we take the $2.5 trillion and filter out OPEC, this comes to $1 trillion. Now let’s look at just Saudi Arabia, with Nixon’s secret deal (memo) made in 1974 was a negotiation not to support the dollar, but to deal with the Oil Embargo of 1973. Saudi Arabia’s annual oil sales can be measured in both volume (barrels) and monetary value (revenue), which fluctuates based on production levels, OPEC+ agreements, and global oil prices. Even if we look at the numbers from 1974, OpPEC was only about  13% ($112 billion) of world merchandise trade ($846 billion). This significant share was a direct result of the 1973 oil crisis, during which OPEC member countries imposed an embargo and drastically increased oil prices, leading to a quadrupling of oil revenues.

Petro dollar 2

Saudi Arabia typically exports 6.5–7.5 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil and petroleum products. In 2023, Saudi Arabia’s oil revenue was estimated at $211 billion (based on ~7 million bpd and ~$80/barrel). This means that Saudi Arabia’s total petro sales amount to .0084% of world trade. The Petrodollar 2,0 is sophistry and just another conspiracy theory. If they priced all the oil in yuan, it would not alter the world economy.

Petrodollar

Given the number of emails pouring in on this subject and people claiming Trump’s trip is Petrodollar 2.0 or whatever, I will lay out the truth. This appears to come from the perpetual dollar bears who never look outside the United States and constantly forecast the demise of the dollar since the 1970s. Why anyone listens to them shows that the old saying fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me! They have been wrong for more than 50 years. They never look at the facts and have ZERO understanding of international investment flows.

Yes, we were all dealing with OPEC money in Geneva during the Wild ’80s. That is where all the OPEC money was being managed. Even the Saudi oil minister had a house in Gstaad, Switzerland.  That’s where I learned to ski, besides attending exciting parties. Yes, I even participated in OPEC meetings by phone. They would put me on the speaker box. So, I think I know more from the inside out rather than cooking up theories from the outside. This is all tied into this de-dollarization theory as well. I will try to put this together ASAP.

Spain Limits Cash Withdrawals


Posted originally on May 13, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Hoarding Euros

Withdrawing large sums in cash is no longer possible in Spain without the government’s approval. Those withdrawing €3,000 or more must notify Spain’s tax agency, Agencia Tributaria, in advance. Withdrawals at or exceeding  €100,000 require a 72-hour approval process, and the tax agency is requesting a 24-hour mandatory notification for any amount over  €3,000.

A few news outlets are reporting that the Spanish government will impose a €150,000 fine on those who fail to report, but Project Veritas found that to be false. Article 4 of Order EHA/98/2010 states that these new measures are safeguarding institutions against money laundering and terrorism, the typical scapegoats.

In truth, these measures are intended to provide the government with control over capital. Bank runs occur when people complete lose confidence in the system, and the government is ensuring that it never reaches that point because they can simply implement a freeze. Moreover, governments everywhere are on a hunt for taxes and the entire war on cash is based on the belief that citizens are attempting to bypass taxes.

There is a reason that ATMs impose withdrawal limits, forcing customers to go directly to their bank branch. Spain’s reporting system requires banks to submit information through digital identification methods like CL@ve PIN, an electronic ID, or a digital certificate. The government has ordered banks to deny customers their funds if they are unable to provide proper documentation.

What constitutes “suspicious activity” has broadened in scope, not just in Spain but globally. The Spanish government has said that repeated withdrawals or a few hundred euros at a time will be considered suspicious. Citizens are expected to notify the government of how they plan to spend their money by providing personal identification to their banks.

Governments believe that all currency in circulation truly belongs to them. All transactions should be traceable and taxable. These measures will tighten as the Sovereign Debt Crisis intensifies and governments become desperate for funds and control.

EU Reconsiders Trade Deal with Israel


Posted May 8, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

The Netherlands is demanding that the EU review its trade deal with Israel amidst the war on Gaza. Dutch foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp believes Israel is violating Article 2 of the EU-Israel association agreement, which states their partnership is dependent on upholding human rights and democracy. Veldkamp penned a letter to Kaja Kallas, stating that denying Gaza aid since March 18 has been against the “principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence.”

“You cannot starve the people of the Gaza Strip. It is against international law. It’s morally wrong. It’s dangerous. I don’t think it’s in Israel’s own interest,” he stated in his letter, in which he also states there is a “very slim” chance of a ceasefire. “I don’t have any illusions that Hamas will ever apply international humanitarian law, but from a democracy such as Israel, democracies fight differently, and Israel has to abide by international humanitarian law, and with the latest statements by Israeli ministers, such as minister Smotrich that he aims for a total destruction of the Gaza strip, we cannot ignore any longer such statements.

“We support the Palestinian Authority and its return to Gaza. We support the return of every displaced Palestinian for whom Gaza is their home.,” Kallas stated in a press conference this February. “When the time comes the European Union will also support Gaza’s reconstruction together with the regional actors. Palestinians must be able to live in Gaza. At the same time, Gaza must never be again a terror haven.”

Israel has attempted to remain neutral in the Ukraine war, but in February 2025, it voted against a United Nations resolution that reaffirmed Ukraine’s territorial integrity, stating they were supporting the United States’ stance. Israel has been accused of supporting Russia, although it attempted to provide some military aid to Ukraine through a deal with the US. Kaja Kallas believes Donald Trump has aligned himself with Putin and has even suggested he be removed as the president of the United States. To Kallas, Trump is standing in the way of the neocon’s dream of finally embarking on the next world war.

Brussels has attempted to remain neutral on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Member states are in disagreement. Nations like Spain and Ireland have criticized Israel’s approach while those like Hungary and Germany have strongly supported Israel’s military actions. No one actually believes that there will be peace in the Middle East. The United States has been center stage in the Middle East as Europe focuses its full attention to Russia. Yet, this could be a leveraging chip to push both the US and Israel to begin supporting Ukraine.

“As the occupying power, Israel is obliged under international law to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches the population in need,” said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib, and Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica in a joint statement this May.

The EU is Israel’s top trading partner. The 2000 EU-Israel Association Agreement provides the premise for free trade between the EU and Israel. In 2024, EU exports to Israel came in at $28.6 billion, while EU imports totaled $17 billion.

How will the EU use this to its advantage? Trump’s upcoming meeting with Bibi is expecting to greenlight a full-scale invasion of Gaza. Europe is desperate for the United States to realign with NATO objectives and begin supporting its goal of conquering Russia. Europe now has leverage to knock both nations off their neutrality stance. As our computer has indicated, there will be a lot of major events in the month of May.

French President Macron Asks EU and USA to Drop Sanctions Against Al-Qaeda in Syria


Posted originally on CTH on May 7, 2025 | Sundance 

We have witnessed a lot of crazy in the past several years, but this just about takes the proverbial cake.

Current Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, was the leader of al-Qaeda in Syria and had a $10 million bounty on his head as a designated terrorist only a few months ago.  Today, French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed him to the presidential palace and called for the EU and USA to drop sanctions against the terrorist network.

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron called on the United States and the European Union to lift sanctions against Syria on Wednesday after hosting the Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa on his first visit to Europe.

The French leader said Washington should “rush to lift sanctions,” maintain troops in Syria and then review the situation at a later date.

“The interest of all, including of the Americans, is today to act and accompany us in lifting sanctions on the Syrian people,” Macron said at a press conference alongside al-Sharaa.

Al-Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda member, has received a cautious welcome from the international community after his forces toppled brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad late last year.

He has vowed to protect minority groups in Syria and to pursue more inclusive policies. But sectarian violence in recent months, including two bloody days in March during which security forces killed hundreds of civilians, has raised fears that al-Sharaa is failing to rein in Syria’s extremist factions. The Syrian leader subsequently vowed to punish those responsible.

In Paris al-Sharaa argued that “elements of the former [Assad] regime took advantage of the situation to rekindle the war … we’ve launched an investigation committee and a reconciliation committee.”

The French president also called on the EU to stand by its decision to suspend sanctions against Syria. In February Brussels lifted restrictions in the areas of energy, transport and banking, but a June deadline for reviewing them is fast approaching.

“Several allied nations have hesitations, we will work toward dispelling those doubts,” Macron said. (more)

Wuhan Virology Lab Continues Gain-of-Function Research on Coronaviruses

Wuhan Lab

(The Wuhan Institute of Virology)

America will no longer fund gain-of-research studies, thanks to an executive order implemented by Donald Trump that “will drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology.” As a reminder, the Wuhan lab where COVID-19 originated is still operating in China.

“For decades, policies overseeing gain-of-function research on pathogens, toxins, and potential pathogens have lacked adequate enforcement, transparency, and top-down oversight,” the White House said in a fact sheet describing the order. “Researchers have not acknowledged the legitimate potential for societal harms that this kind of research poses.”

The US federal government spent over $3.7 million through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on grants to EcoHealth Alliance. Around $600,000 was directly sent to Wuhan Institute of Virology to study coronaviruses on bats. The funds were distributed in 2014 under a five-year grant during the Obama Administration.

Coronavirus Cycle
Fauci Australian

Domestic and global terrorist Dr. Anthony Fauci once claimed before Congress that the NIH “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” There are emails from February 2020 in which Fauci clearly states he is aware of the gain-of-function research happening in Wuhan. “[S]cientists in the Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments … associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection,” his email stated, also adding, “there were mutations in the virus that would be most unusual to have evolved naturally in the bats and that there was a suspicion that this mutation was intentionally inserted.” The email was sent to Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, and Brian Harrison, the chief of staff of the Department of Health and Human Services. He urges the men to ask the World Health Organization to investigate the pandemic origins before the lab leak theory reaches the public.

Interestingly, Moderna and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sent mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on December 12, 2019. They were secretly developing a vaccine BEFORE the coronavirus was released.

Fauci CXOVID not Natural

The Wuhan lab in China is STILL studying coronaviruses on bats. In 2025, Chinese researchers found a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which can infect human cells. Wuhan scientists have said they plan to continue studying this virus by breeding mice with human cells and tissues to study infection. China refuses to admit that COVID-19 originated in its lab, and thus, we should not expect any further safety measures in Wuhan, a densely populated city with over 8 million residents.

The Wuhan lab is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which is state-sponsored and controlled by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. The European Union sent the lab €161,811 in 2015 and 2019 for projects related to the European Virus Archive under Horizon 2020 research programs. In fact, the Netherlands has studied gain-of-function research n the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Led by Ron Fouchier, scientists genetically modified the avian flu so that it could spread between mammals through respiratory droplets. Again, they claimed that the goal was to see what could happen if the bird flu became transmissible to humans, but that was not happening in the wild. Fouchier found himself in a legal battle with the Dutch government where it was ruled a permit was mandatory for such experiments. Japan has also conducted gain-of-function research on the avian flu, modifying the virus to study how it could infect humans.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus, and University of Wisconsin-Madison were all studying gain-of-function research in the United States. Now, the US government will no longer fund these studies, however, they may continue without federal funding. The executive order also entails that advanced transparency is required for these studies, but the truth of the matter is that no one knows the true implications.

WSJ 2009 Shrink Population Gates

From the start, I warned that COVID was not a biological weapon or its kill-ratio would have been much higher. I believe it was orchestrated and someone was simply paid to release it from Wuhan and that did NOT come from the Chinese government but from this same group pushing the Great Reset. I also KNOW for a fact that the Build-Back-Better slogan was being thrown around at Davos at the beginning of 2019 about one year before COVID was released.

Event 201. The world has widely ignored the October 18, 2019 simulation, co-sponsored by Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, and John Hopkins. The 3.5 hour simulation depicted a coronavirus outbreak that passed from bats to pigs to people. In the simulation, the virus spread rapidly throughout the globe, overwhelming health systems and killing economies.

“The Event 201 scenario

Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.

The disease starts in pig farms in Brazil, quietly and slowly at first, but then it starts to spread more rapidly in healthcare settings. When it starts to spread efficiently from person to person in the low-income, densely packed neighborhoods of some of the megacities in South America, the epidemic explodes. It is first exported by air travel to Portugal, the United States, and China and then to many other countries. Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control.

There is no possibility of a vaccine being available in the first year. There is a fictional antiviral drug that can help the sick but not significantly limit spread of the disease.

Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe.

The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.”

Bill Gates, John Hopkins, and the WEF recommended the following after the simulation:

  1. Governments, international organizations, and businesses should plan now for how essential corporate capabilities will be utilized during a large-scale pandemic.
  2. Industry, national governments, and international organizations should work together to enhance internationally held stockpiles of medical countermeasures (MCMs) to enable rapid and equitable distribution during a severe pandemic.
  3. Countries, international organizations, and global transportation companies should work together to maintain travel and trade during severe pandemics. Travel and trade are essential to the global economy as well as to national and even local economies, and they should be maintained even in the face of a pandemic.
  4. Governments should provide more resources and support for the development and surge manufacturing of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics that will be needed during a severe pandemic.
  5. Global business should recognize the economic burden of pandemics and fight for stronger preparedness.
  6. International organizations should prioritize reducing economic impacts of epidemics and pandemics.
  7. Governments and the private sector should assign a greater priority to developing methods to combat mis- and disinformation prior to the next pandemic response.

These global agencies told us what they planned to do a year before the pandemic, down to silencing dissent and misinformation. Gates spent $1.75 billion on vaccine research and trials before the virus emerged. Nations adhering to the Great Reset attempted to maintain COVID mandates for as long as possible. The United States government now recognizes that COVID did, in fact, develop in the Wuhan lab and was leaked to the public. How that leak occurred remains a mystery.

Still No Justice for COVID Nursing Home Deaths

COVID.NursingHomeDeathsGovernors

COVID-19 has become a repressed memory to the majority. I have not forgotten the injustice caused by the hands of belligerent politicians who have never faced justice for their crimes against humanity. One of endless aspects of injustice occurred at the hands of Democratic governors who insisted that infected elderly patients be sent back to nursing home facilities, resulting 1 in 10 nursing home residents dying from the virus.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has certainly been vocal about Trump being authoritarian. Yet, no one has charged him for forcing COVID-infected patients into nursing homes. Over 80% of COVID deaths in Minnesota occurred in nursing home facilities, yet Walz takes no responsibility. “This was what everyone was doing. This was not a mistake,” the failed Democrat VP nominee stated. He issued fines up to $1,000 or 90 days in jail for anyone found guilty of violating his stay-at-home lockdown. Then, of course, there was his infamous COVID hotline for people to report on their neighbors for failing to adhere to Walz’s orders. Walz claimed“[O]ne person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.” This man would have been the second-most powerful person in the nation had Kamala won the election.

Nursing Home

Andrew Cuomo of New York was the only governor to face a public trial after his policies led to 15,000 nursing home deaths. The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic found Cuomo guilty of covering up his involvement in the matter and falsifying records, yet he faced no charges for his crimes.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy insisted that the elderly be sent back to nursing care facilities to alleviate hospital overcrowding. As a result, over 50% of COVID deaths in the state occurred in long-term care facilities, and 17% of residents in these facilities passed away, surpassing 15,000 people. He has not been charged.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer enforced policies that exposed the state’s most vulnerable population to the virus. As a result. 5% of nursing home resident died or around 2,000 people. She has not been charged.

California’s Governor Gavin Newsom initially followed New York’s policy of forcing the sick back into long-term care facilities, but quickly changed course as the death toll began to rise. Too little, too late as 2% of residents or around 2,000 people passed away. He has not been charged.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf forced COVID-positive elderly patients back into nursing homes. Half of the state’s COVID deaths occurred in these facilities, with reported outbreaks occurring at 407 state facilities. The total death toll has not been made public. He has not been charged.

There should be no COVID amnesty. The same politicians are now claiming that Trump is dismantling our society, yet they take no responsibility for what they did during the COVID-19 pandemic.
