Resistance Is Not Always Futile – Manchester & Liverpool Stand up To Boris Johnson


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Oct 15, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has come out and refused to follow the demands of Boris Johnson who is increasingly acting, not like a politician, but someone who has been bribed to sabotage BREXIT and to crush the British economy for Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset. Johnson has not only abandoned the very core principles of the Conservative Party but in more than 40 years of dealing with governments around the world the one common element has always been you cannot get them to act proactively to PREVENT something from happening.

Here, Mayor Andy Burnham has said: “We have unanimously opposed the government’s plans for Tier 3.” It takes courage to defend the people against this political corruption that will eventually surface. He continues: “They are asking us to gamble our residents’ jobs, homes and businesses… on a strategy their own experts tell them might not work.” A truer statement has never been made. This is the difference between politicians who have not been bribed like Burnham and someone like Johnson who has sold out his country for clearly what will be a pocket full of money directly or more likely indirectly.

Facebook Shuts Down Political Candidates in New Zealand Running for Election


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Oct 15, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Less than 48 hours before election day in New Zealand, Facebook has closed the account of Advance NZ/PP party.
Front man Billy TK has called out the incumbent labour party’s anti-sovereign, globalist agenda and is against lockdowns and the covid narrative. He has also called out the appalling track record of the Ardern “be kind” government on poverty, and has risen to the occasion to support the poorest in this election. One Advance NZ manifesto item is an enquiry into 5G.

A brief search brings up nothing nice about Billy TK or the party, and now, FB take down their page. A recent ASA ruling against campaign material looks to me to be possibly political, due to making questioning of the pandemic response a matter of ‘social responsibility’. Rumours were also circulating at one point that their electoral admin was not in order.
Putting it all together this all seems a little fishy to me.

REPLY: This certainly warrants investigation. Even if the guy is a communist, they will still be on the ballot and have an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to be there. Zuckerberg is now over the top and is acting against Democracy. In the United States, there is also the Communist Party. They are on ballots. They have also an absolute right to be there. You can click and go to their site. I may disagree with their point of view but I cannot deny them the right to be heard.

Even Due Process of Law is based on the Biblical account of Cain and Able. Cain murdered his brother Abel and God still gave him the right to be heard. And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother? And he said, “I do not know: am I my brother’s keeper?” And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! your brother’s blood cries out to me from the soil. And so, cursed shall you be by the soil that gaped with its mouth to take your brother’s blood from your hand.”

This is the right to be heard which Zuckerberg and the rest of these leftist social media moguls who always seem to oppress others fail to understand. What they are doing is an affront to all humanity and they are showing they do not believe in Democracy.

These people take money from the CIA and have openly admitted such. CIA publishes a helpful list of press releases on all the social media ventures it sponsors, via its technology investment arm In-Q-Tel. Clearly, there is a serious question as to what is going on with these people. Whatever they said about the Russians, they have done far worse and pretending they have immunity. Sure, they will claim this is a “conspiracy theory” but this was even reported by CBS – at least until they take it down. Zuckerberg has no immunity in New Zealand. He should be taken to court ASAP for interfering in free elections. He is interfering in the elections the same they have accused Putin of going in 2016.Categories:ConspiracyCorruption

Senator Tom Cotton on Big Tech Censorship: “Winter is Coming”…


Posted on The Conservative tree house on October 15, 2020 by sundance

As we shared yesterday, the examples of Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube blocking factual information about Joe Biden’s corrupt financial engagements with foreign entities is an “all-in” election interference effort. In many ways this is an extinction level event for their business model if Joe Biden does not win the election.

These tech and social media companies are worth hundreds of billions and their future financial viability is now directly connected to the 2020 election. Shareholders and stakeholders will begin filing lawsuits as soon as the hammer of FCC, DOJ or legislative regulation drops to break up their previously permitted monopolies.

A Trump victory will destroy these entities; and the likelihood of a Trump victory increases in direct proportion to their efforts to advance censorship…. it is a very unique situation.

It’s important to remember… there is a pre-existing DOJ antitrust lawsuit looming that underpins the current position of “Big Tech”; and factually in June of this year we previously shared: “As soon as the DOJ takes action Silicon Valley will hold an even larger self-interest in the 2020 election outcome; and they will respond accordingly.”

CTH has discussed the likelihood of DOJ action against Google previously.  In June of this year AG Barr also mentioned in an interview with Senator Ted Cruz he was likely to have the final DOJ investigation on his desk for a decision within the next few months.

Immediately after Barr’s remarks Politico reported  on some of the background DOJ activity which aligned with Bill Barr’s statements and our own research assembly.

WASHINGTON – Justice Department prosecutors expect to file an antitrust lawsuit against Google in the coming months focused on the company’s dominance in online advertising and search, two individuals familiar with the discussions said Friday.

DOJ lawyers and state antitrust officials met online Friday and discussed contours of the expected complaint, according to the people, who weren’t authorized to speak on the record because the investigation is ongoing.

[…] The suit is expected to involve allegations that the search giant has monopolized the advertising technology market. It is also expected to include allegations that Google has taken steps to extend its monopoly over search, such as through contracts with Apple and cellphone makers who use the Android operating system that require it be the default search engine.

The people cautioned that Attorney General William Barr, who did not attend the meeting, has yet to make a final decision on whether to sue, a judgment he could make in the coming weeks. The department would also need to decide what remedy it would seek, such as trying to break up the company or placing limits on its behavior. Whether the state attorneys general would also sign on to the DOJ complaint isn’t yet determined.

Prosecutors are still discussing whether to include other aspects of Google’s conduct related to search, the people said.

A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment. (read more)

Anyone who has spent time on the internet already knows Google manipulates the internet based on their self-defined ideology.  In August of 2019 a Google employee and whistleblower came forward with documentary evidence explaining how they do it.

Zachary Vorhies went  public with the information in order to help people better understand the scope and scale of Google’s manipulative intent.  [Link to Documents]

Among those documents is a file called “news black list site for google now.” The document is a “black list,” which restricts certain websites from appearing on an Android Google product.  Not surprisingly CTH is listed on the black list.

On May 28, 2020, after President Trump signed an executive order targeting on-line censorship, CTH wrote a twitter thread about it.  There has to be a breaking point where the FCC or DOJ steps in to address these issues, if our constitutional republic is to survive.

[Read Executive Order Here] – In the periphery of this executive action there are indications, and a widespread expectation, the DOJ is close to filing an antitrust lawsuit against Google Inc and their affiliated companies. There is a possibility the controlling ideology of ‘big tech’ is about to merge with legal action by the DOJ.

The DOJ action has not yet happened, but there are signals it is close. There have been visible signals, subtle but visible, the DOJ was/is about to move on a massive (the biggest in history) antitrust lawsuit against Google and all affiliates.

The issue will not necessarily surface as most would think; via a bias based on conservative -vs- leftist ideology in content manipulation; though those underlying aspects are a part of the larger underpinning we will soon see surface.

Antitrust lawsuits, writ large, are based on “prices”, “costs”, and net “financial” distortions caused by corporations not competing based on open commerce. “Antitrust” in it’s structural form is based on costs and the manipulation of prices.  Essentially, controlled commerce.

In the digital sphere the targeted firms have not opened themselves to liability based on ideology; but rather Google, all subsidiaries and alliances, have opened themselves to antitrust violations through the manipulation and control of financial benefit.

Demonitization of digital platform content providers, in combination with Google’s control of almost all ad revenue in the digital space, is what has opened the door for DOJ intervention based on antitrust laws…. But will they take action? That’s the question.

Antitrust intervention is warranted because the content being generated on these on-line, digital platforms, is being arbitrarily valued by the media company GoogleAds and not the free market. Devaluing certain content they are ideologically opposed to creates consumer distortions.

Underpinning that revenue control is the ideological nature of the control enforcer, in this example Google. However, for the purpose of antitrust lawsuits, that motive is irrelevant.

The methods, practices and purposeful control of value; through collusion of corporate interest specific to a planned and organized effort to control monetary benefit; is the part of their activity that is quantifiable, discoverable, easily provable, and ultimately unlawful.

The financial distortion of internet commerce is the crack in the Big Tech stranglehold that should afford the DOJ the opportunity to step in.  Google (and all subsidiaries) will lose on the substance of their defense because ultimately their business practice has resulted in, and arguably they have engaged in, price fixing.

It will take time, but from an optimistic position if the DOJ take action eventually Google would be forced to settle a lawsuit.  There could be a massive financial settlement in addition to a negotiated Consent Decree. Within the decree terms, we could even see a break-up.

Any antitrust action is only tangentially related to President Trump’s previous confrontation with Twitter and big tech social media based on ideological lines. However, it is easy to see how the two issues will merge.  The monetary distortions are based on ideology.

As soon as the DOJ takes action Silicon Valley will hold an even larger self-interest in the 2020 election outcome; and they will respond accordingly.

This is definitely worth watching…

ACB Under The Microscope


ACB One of the Smartest Jurists Even Nominated to the Supreme Cort

During the Senate confirmation hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, she was asked if she was reading from her notes. She showed the Senate her note pad and it was blank. Whatever she had to say, it was unrehearsed—and she spoke with confidence.

She endured the usual badgering from Democrats. She was attacked for her religious beliefs. She was attacked for her views on abortion. She was accused of harboring ill will toward the ‘Affordable Care Act,’ which is neither affordable nor caring. A Democratic Senator from Hawaii even asked her if she had ever sexually assaulted anyone. Barrett simply replied with “No.”

The Democrats keep losing. They can’t stop Barrett from becoming the next Supreme Court Justice. She’s a winner.

By Pillorying Trump, Democrats Ended Up Creating The Ultimate Underdog


The Hollywood, Democrat-media gang-up may remain impervious to their own self-destruction, but the watching world is not

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Judi McLeod —— Bio and ArchivesOctober 14, 2020

Even in the midst of Government Mandatory Lock Down, with some people fearful they will contract Covid-19 from their own relatives, others are beginning to hear the still haunting strains of Bill Conti’s masterful ‘’Gonna’ Fly Now’ ‘Rocky’ theme.

Lost on self-centred arrogant Democrats: Just about everyone loves an Underdog—particularly Underdogs repeatedly targeted by a Democrat-media gang-up.

Deranged Democrats with the help of Hollywood and their running dog media have thrown everything except the proverbial kitchen sink at President Donald John Trump over the past four years.

Every vile smear has ricocheted back to home base, home base being the DEMOCRAT PARTY

Every vile smear from the early-day Stormy Daniels one,  through RussiaGate and Impeachment, all the way to the most recent attempt to frame the President of the United States as the world’s top Covid-19 infector has ricocheted back to home base, home base being the DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Giddy with the prospect of getting back into power, confident that Michelle Obama’s Mail-in Vote will give them enough votes for a Biden-Harris win; self-assured that now they got away with it once, they can lock down the whole country anytime they want, Democrats of our day have convinced themselves that NO ONE can stop them.

With no social distancing restrictions that apply to them, they’re already planning Election Night Whoopee! Parties and fireworks.  It’s only a matter of time they think before they can lay a laurel wreath on the befuddled head of Joe Biden, knowing it wont’t be long before they can knock it off and crown Sen. Kamala Harris as their long-awaited First woman U.S. president.

To the victor go the spoils, in this case, soils.  Democrats don’t have to worry about patriot insurrection, their BLM/Anita street mobs will take care of that.https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPhqU–Mq1A

But it I will take more than a Socialist Village to bury the landslide vote for President Trump

The yahooing and partying will continue as long as it takes to count the vote.

On Election Night, the media—including Fox News ,home of Chris Wallace—will spread the Fake News that Donald Trump is a goner.

Squeals of joy will erupt over the fruited plains on Election Night., from which Hillary Clinton can be heard barking like a dog.

But it I will take more than a Socialist Village to bury the landslide vote for President Trump.

The Democrat-media gang-up are truthfully and tragically unaware that their entire 2020 election strategy has already started to backfire on them: their hate spewing, name calling and attempted character-assassination of a duly elected President has, in the end,  made him The Underdog.

It’s part of human nature that the masses love underdogs.

Not only are the hundreds of thousands who line up to see their president, hundreds of boat and car parades a testament to that, but now Hillary’s “deplorables” are spontaneously chanting to Trump, “We love you!”

President Donald Trump could be the most beloved underdog in all history

President Donald Trump could be the most beloved underdog in all history.

And the epic story doesn’t end there:

What will the seriously disgruntled do when realization hits home that Barack, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Company were on a track whose strategies proved useless; that it was mostly just the Democrats, Hollywood and media who hated Trump while We the People went on loving him?

Just for starters:

Welcome to a new 2020 Hollywood,  where not just Covid-19 keeps fans in darkened theatres from watching Hollywood heroes and heart throbs in mostly empty rows of seats.

Hollywood’s going bankrupt and is selling out to Communist China.

People are not willing to pay for Politics masquerading as Sports anymore as in football, basketball and baseball.

The whole world’s going bankrupt and will continue to do so as long as Lock Downs keep people from getting back to family-supporting jobs.

The Hollywood, Democrat-media gang-up may remain impervious to their own self-destruction, but the watching world is not.

Even though the masses may have to wait days, weeks or even months for news that Donald Trump won on Election Night, millions will get to say, ‘Welcome back to the Oval Office, PRESIDENT Donald Trump and call 2020 as ‘The Year of the Underdog’.

This is the Real News we’ll all be waiting for— no matter how long it takes because at the end of the day we know that “Patience gains all things!”

Election 2020: Benign Popular Uprising Success?


Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Bob Hoye —— Bio and ArchivesOctober 14, 2020

Politically, there have been essentially two kinds of uprisings. Each prompted by widespread dissatisfaction and hardship. One restores freedom and economic success. The opposite has been malignant revolutions; exampled by brutal dictatorships in France in the late 1700s and in Russia beginning in the early 1900s. In these, neurotic intellectuals turned existing dissatisfaction unto bloody horror shows and bureaucratic tyrannies.

Extraordinary attempt by control freaks to destroy a constitutional republic in order to impose authoritarian government

Taking advantage of crisis is not new, and there is more to the pattern.

In Europe, on every authoritarian experiment, the governing classes granted themselves the privilege of state murder.

Since 2016, America’s Left has been using every arrow in its quiver to bring down an elected president. In startling contrast, it now has the audacity to accuse Trump of possibly blocking the next transfer of power.

The most recent successful benign uprising occurred in 1989 when ordinary folk who were unarmed took on an armed and murderous police state. The symbol was bringing down the Berlin Wall, when controlling swamp critters suddenly lost the will to impose authority.

Suggesting hope for the current struggle for freedom.

Another example was England’s “Glorious Revolution” of 1688, which took down the last absolutist king. He had threatened to use French troops (globalism) in England. Seeing the political tide turning against him, King James reluctantly sought authoritarian solace in France.

Regrettably, the past few decades have recorded an extraordinary attempt by control freaks to destroy a constitutional republic in order to impose authoritarian government. This has now become so intense as to inspire another benign popular uprising. Which shocked the establishment in 2016.

More recently, Venezuela has been controlled to destitution

Will reform again be successful in November?

In order to remove any ambiguity of political banners such as Democrat or Republican, Bernieism or Bidenism, physics provides a practical definition of a totalitarian system.

“That which is not compulsory is prohibited.”

Which elegantly covers every political ambition from Communism to schoolboards. And, sadly, such ambition is now using any excuse to overwhelm constitutional norms. Bad weather and another influenza are caused by too many politically incorrect people.

The economic shutdown is the most severe since the 1930s famines when Bolsheviks forced Lysenkoism upon Russia’s agriculture.

More recently, Venezuela has been controlled to destitution.

The point to be made that in full fury authoritarians don’t care how much hardship they create, just so long as they are in control. Personal ambition that thrives on disasters it causes. And the governing classes have become, well, ungovernable.  But living well.

China’s revolution in the 1960s was guided by Mao’s “Great Leap Forward”. In 2011, Obama boasted about his form of community organization whereby “activist government could also be smart government”. The wonders of activism have been evident in Portland and other Democrat cities.

Soviet troops, tanks and machine guns put each attempt at reform down. Murderously

“Smart” is waiting discovery.

Obviously, the Left’s blatant ambition is causing shocking unemployment. With enough dissatisfaction to prompt an exceptional exodus from city-cores being ruined by Democrat activists. That some are voting with their feet and if these political refugees don’t take their socialist votes with them, they could become part of the reform movement.  Without the dislocation of moving, an easier step is to break the spell and vote for reform.

Has the seemingly endless intrusion of in-your-face and in-your-wallet government become damaging enough to inspire another success by the benign popular uprising?

As reviewed above, these have included breathtaking reforms in 1989 and in 1688. Tragically, some benign uprisings were brutally quelled. Examples include East Germany in 1953, Hungary in 1956 and the one with the most hope was the “Prague Spring” of 1968.

Soviet troops, tanks and machine guns put each attempt at reform down. Murderously.

This was one of the points in American Spring published by this writer on July 2, 2016. The rhetorical question about an “American Spring” being quelled brutally as in Prague was rejected. But the attempt to overwhelm America’s constitutional regard for freedom and limited government has been staggering. Even becoming fanatical in using any ploy to depose an elected president.

Quite likely the equivalent has been unseen in some 200 years of parliamentary history in America, Canada or England.

Left, in all its apparitions, has gone berserk

Another question in the 2016 article asked about the likelihood of Trump winning and the answer was in “Flyover” vernacular – “You bet!”.

And the Left, in all its apparitions, has gone berserk. Hitherto, intruding authoritarians suffered little popular opposition. But since being hit by a widespread “No!” the Left has been thrashing around in a tantrum usually limited to four-year-old-children.

Moreover, the intrusion using weather and influenza fears has been the most radical in the senior economy since the last great experiment in authoritarian government in the 1500s. However, by the early 1600s in England statist intrusion became altogether too much with popular opinion eventually accomplishing a great reformation. 

Lately, the Left’s ambition seems similar to the early stages of the French or Russian Revolutions. Which is dangerous. Perhaps this is again becoming “too much”, inspiring another successful phase of the benign popular uprising. Will it be strong and soon enough to win the presidency?

In January this seemed probable, but the use of the Wuhan Flu in imposing authority has been remarkable. Dems are also using the contrived crisis to corrupt voting.

Left’s urgent mission prohibits criticism and debate, while obedience to dogma is compulsory

So, it comes down to having enough ordinary folk seeing through the gaming of fear and the rigging of the electoral system to prevail. Hitherto, elections in the two party system provided middle-of-the-road platforms. Issues were debated.

But now the Left’s urgent mission prohibits criticism and debate, while obedience to dogma is compulsory. With opposition being banned a Democratic win would end America as a constitutional republic—a political tragedy.

On the longer term, previous benign uprisings advanced when the experiment in unlimited government literally destroyed the economy. Which prompted a great reform of, as the Brits called it in the early 1600s, “Tyrannical Duncery”.

Too much of the latter is being imposed these days, but history suggests that another great reformation is underway.
