  1. The Fed cooked the books with yesterday’s Jobs Report because it is trapped. I wrote about this yesterday, but given just a few hours more of reflection the necessity for a (Marxist) imposed economic pseudo-reality becomes clearer. Why does it have to be a Marxist pseudo-reality? Because everything else is, and economics is a primary driver of public sentiment.

    Biden bragged yesterday about the economy he has created. However the “tell” to the lie is in the Wednesday 25 basis point rate hike. The Fed knew the real (un)employment numbers. Had they been as truly “shockingly” rosie as they were presented yesterday, why didn’t the Fed boost rates by 50 points? 75 points? Surely such great news gave it massive latitude to make a much more meaningful against the inflation boogeyman. The “tell” is that it did not because it cannot.

    This also reveals our masters feel palpable political (what other kind is there for these animals) fear over the economy–so much so they must orchestrate all the data sources into a pseudo-reality to pacify us from the grim fact that they have failed. They have failed to contain inflation. We have also known for some time that the illusion of job growth is really the fragmenting of good-paying full-time jobs into many low-paying part-time jobs. Americans are taking on these extra jobs as they sink into credit card debt, which is skyrocketing.

    In short, Jerome Powell is not Paul Volker, the year is not 1981, the money supply is not between $1-2 trillion, the national debt is too great to be paid off, and the level of Boomer unfunded liabilities is blasting off.

    Happy Saturday? Hold on to your hats when Mr. Market figures this out.

    • Have you considered the thought that the balloon may be a way to take the economy off the front page for a while? It also gives the Dems. Another charge when they set out to remove Biden.

      We all know whoever replaces Kalama will not change policies but the uproar gives them more time for their economic and social sabatoge to create the chaos they want.

  2. Johnny now that more facts have come out, you were right we should shoot down the balloon. The early info about the height the balloon is drifting at requires that we shoot down the balloon.

    You are also right about this being a fealty flight. The Xi wants us to know who is in control of our President. The American string pullers (Obama and Soros) had to be in on the planning of the incident, if they weren’t they would have been screaming to have it shot down.

    • China’s Message to the World – We Own Joe Biden

      The balloon show over the US shows great weakness on the part of the Biden Administration. But the deeper message is that China is telling the world that they own Biden and therefore they run the US.

      On July 1, 2022, President Xi from China arrived in Hong Kong for a celebration. TGP reported on this event. It was the 25th anniversary of the UK’s handover of Hong Kong to China, President Xi visited Hong Kong and claimed that after 2-3 years of protests and brutal arrests of protesters and the ending of freedom of the press, this is the beginning of true democracy in Hong Kong.

      Every year on this date (July 1) in Hong Kong there were million-person marches protesting China’s takeover of the tiny country. But not this year. Protests against China are now forcefully prevented.

      After 2-3 years of brutal and violent crackdowns on protesters and COVID mandates, China is now firmly in charge. This happened while using COVID to silently take away the Hong Kong people’s rights.

      The reports of Xi’s arrival were mixed. Along with Xi came a category 3 typhoon.

      Xi teased in his speech the following:

      There is not a country or region in the world where its citizens would allow those who are not patriotic, or even traitors to get hold of political power”

      We asked if this was a reference to China ignoring the rights of the people of Hong Kong and forcefully pushing the China takeover or was this in reference to the Biden regime that appears to be under China’s direction and daily works against the American people?

      This week we got our answer.

      China sent a balloon over the US. What did the Biden regime do?

      Biden allowed the balloon to fly over US airspace and he did nothing!

      Last night Biden read a speech where Biden spent 25 minutes bashing MAGA Republicans and lying about the US economy.

      Biden also boasted about all the time he has spent with China’s Xi Jinping over the years.

      But he didn’t say a word about the Chinese spy balloon currently soaring over the United States.

      I spent a lot of time with Xi Jinping when I was Vice President the last couple years and Barack asked me to spend time with him because we knew he was going to be president,” Biden said. “I traveled 17,000 miles. I met with him more than any other world leader – now over 80 hours – 68 of which were in person. Just me and an interpreter and he and his interpreter.”

      Biden claimed he was looking over a Tibetan plateau with Xi Jinping when he asked Biden to define America in one word. – “Possibilities” – Biden said.

      What are the odds this ever happened?

      The Biden Administration is ignoring the Chinese spy balloon flying over the US like it’s not happening.

      This is the Biden policy – ignore and lie.

      When Hunter’s laptop was uncovered, the Biden gang lied about it and labeled it a Russian operation and ignored it. The US media complied. This week they finally admitted it was Hunter’s.

      When the most unpopular Presidential candidate in history stole the most votes in history in the 2020 Election, the Biden gang ignored the facts and the media complied. Biden and his gang then arrested innocent Americans who protested the certification of the uncertifiable election.

      When the economy falls apart due to Biden’s policies he lies and says it’s great. Inflation they say was with us before Biden took over.

      This week Biden ignores a foreign flying object over the US. A pilot friend of ours says that Biden must have sanctioned it.

      This makes sense because Biden’s reaction is to ignore it. A foreign invasion and Biden mumbles through another speech he attempts to read where he calls the majority of Americans names.

      Every single action that the Biden Administration has taken has helped China.
      Name one act that Biden has taken that China doesn’t like. For two-plus years Biden has been doing China’s bidding.

      China should be held accountable for the COVID crisis that led to loss of lives and economic hardship for millions across the country and around the world. But no action from Biden. No mention from Biden.

      Day after day Biden’s actions demoralize good hard-working, God and America-loving Americans.

      China must be running the show. This balloon is China’s message to the world that they own Biden and therefore the USA.

    How crazy is the China spy balloon situation? Even Obama’s former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is saying that it should be intercepted or shot down.

    This story is more important than you may think.

    The fascinating thing about this CNN segment is who does not get mentioned. Joe Biden.

    Panetta and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer both know how bad this looks for Biden, so they leave his name out of the conversation completely, even though Panetta is basically criticizing Biden’s handling of the issue.

  5. CHILLING: World Economic Forum Showcases Technology That Would Allow The Government To Punish Your Thoughts And Big Business To Spy On Your Brains (VIDEO)

    Imagine, if you will, a world where outside forces can now read your deepest thoughts and have total control over your livelihood. The World Economic Forum is fantasizing over new technology that could turn this Twilight Zone nightmare into reality.

    Breitbart reported Friday that during the WEF gathering in Davos, Switzerland last month, an attendee showed an ominous presentation displaying a world which will allow employers at major companies to spy on their workers’ brain activity. They would have the power to fire their workers and turn them into government authorities for simply thinking the “wrong way.”

    Advertisement

    The presentation also suggested government would be able to use brain wave data for evidence in a “crime.” Yes, your own thoughts could be used as evidence against you in a court of law if the globalists have their way.

    The presenter, though, in an Orwellian twist claimed giving big business bosses and the government power over your thoughts would show the “positive use cases” of brain monitoring technology.

    TRENDING:

    At the World Economic Forum, the annual gathering of globalist elites in Davos, Switzerland, a presentation hyped brain wave monitoring technology to allow employers to detect how hard their employees are working, whether they get distracted, and even if they have “amorous feelings” for coworkers.

    “You can not only tell whether a person is paying attention or their mind is wandering, but you can discriminate between the kinds of things they are paying attention to,” gushed the presenter. “Whether they’re doing something like central tasks, like programming, peripheral tasks like writing documentation, or unrelated tasks like surfing social media or online browsing.

    “When you combine brain-wave activity together with other forms of software and surveillance technology, the power becomes quite precise.”

  6. Here Are the Countries Where China Spy Balloons were Also Spotted Up in the Sky (VIDEO)

    Watching the China balloon cross across the US is like watching another sh*tty Hollywood movie, which serves as a constant reminder of the utter incompetence and weakness of the Biden regime.

    The Gateway Pundit reported that the Department of Defense announced on Thursday they have been monitoring a suspected Chinese spy balloon floating over the state of Montana for over two days.

    Montana is home to one of the three American nuclear missile silo fields at Malmstrom Air Force Base.

    Flights were temporarily grounded on Wednesday after many noticed the UFO.

    The balloon is reportedly the size of three school buses.

    NBC News reported Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Miley, and other commanders reviewed the threat of the “Chinese stratospheric balloon” and presented several options to Joe Biden.

    After evaluating the threat, the U.S. Military, along with the White House, opted not to shoot down the balloon. Debris from the floating device could possibly injure a civilian

    On Friday, the China spy balloon was spotted over Metro St. Louis, miles from Scott Air Force Base.

    Missouri Senator Nick Schroer on Twitter shared his letter to Missouri’s governor requesting that the China spy balloon be taken down to protect Missouri residents.

  7. Chinese Communist Government Releases Statement: Claims Balloon Flying Over US was Entirely an Accident

    On Friday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled a scheduled trip to Beijing this weekend in response to China sending a large surveillance balloon over the Northwest United States this week.

    According to the US official, Blinken and Joe Biden agreed it was best to cancel the trip for the time being.

    Blinken’s cancellation comes after President Trump called on the Biden administration to shoot down the balloon. Joe Biden has instead decided to let the balloon continue spying on the U.S.

    In a statement late on Friday, a spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement following the postponement of Blinken’s visit to China.

    The spokesperson claimed that the suspected spy balloon was a ‘civilian meteorological’ vessel used for scientific research that deviated from the scheduled route. The spokesperson then added that it was a ‘force majeure’ accident, and blamed it on American politicians and the media for trying to demonize China.

    • Associated Press – FEB 04 2023 – ‘Died suddenly’ posts twist tragedies to push vaccine lies

      Results from 6-year-old Anastasia Weaver’s autopsy may take weeks. But online anti-vaccine activists needed only hours after her funeral this week to baselessly blame the COVID-19 vaccine.

      A prolific Twitter account posted Anastasia’s name and smiling dance portrait in a tweet with a syringe emoji. A Facebook user messaged her mother, Jessica Day-Weaver, to call her a “murderer” for having her child vaccinated.

      In reality, the Ohio kindergartner had experienced lifelong health problems since her premature birth, including epilepsy, asthma and frequent hospitalizations with respiratory viruses. “The doctors haven’t given us any information other than it was due to all of her chronic conditions. … There was never a thought that it could be from the vaccine,” Day-Weaver said of her daughter’s death.

      But those facts didn’t matter online, where Anastasia was swiftly added to a growing list of hundreds of children, teens, athletes and celebrities whose unexpected deaths and injuries have been incorrectly blamed on COVID-19 shots. Using the hashtag #diedsuddenly, online conspiracy theorists have flooded social media with news reports, obituaries and GoFundMe pages in recent months, leaving grieving families to wrestle with the lies.

      There’s the 37-year-old Brazilian television host who collapsed live on air because of a congenital heart problem. The 18-year-old unvaccinated bull rider who died from a rare disease. The 32-year-old actress who died from bacterial infection complications.

      The use of “died suddenly” — or a misspelled version of it — has surged more than 740% in tweets about vaccines over the past two months compared with the two previous months, the media intelligence firm Zignal Labs found in an analysis conducted for The Associated Press. The phrase’s explosion began with the late November debut of an online “documentary” by the same name, giving power to what experts say is a new and damaging shorthand.

      “It’s kind of in-group language, kind of a wink wink, nudge nudge,” said Renee DiResta, technical research manager at the Stanford Internet Observatory. “They’re taking something that is a relatively routine way of describing something — people do, in fact, die unexpectedly — and then by assigning a hashtag to it, they aggregate all of these incidents in one place.”

      The campaign causes harm beyond just the internet, epidemiologist Dr. Katelyn Jetelina said.

      “The real danger is that it ultimately leads to real world actions such as not vaccinating,” said Jetelina, who tracks and breaks down COVID data for her blog, “Your Local Epidemiologist.”

      Rigorous study and real-world evidence from hundreds of millions of administered shots prove that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

      Deaths caused by vaccination are extremely rare and the risks associated with not getting vaccinated are far higher than the risks of vaccination. But that hasn’t stopped conspiracy theorists from lobbing a variety of untrue accusations at the vaccines.

      The “Died Suddenly” film features a montage of headlines found on Google to falsely suggest they prove that sudden deaths have “never happened like this until now.” The film has amassed more than 20 million views on an alternative video sharing website, and its companion Twitter account posts about more deaths and injuries daily.

      An AP review of more than 100 tweets from the account in December and January found that claims about the cases being vaccine related were largely unsubstantiated and, in some cases, contradicted by public information. Some of the people featured died of genetic disorders, drug overdoses, flu complications or suicide. One died in a surfing accident.

      The filmmakers did not respond to specific questions from the AP, but instead issued a statement that referenced a “surge in sudden deaths” and a “PROVEN rate of excess deaths,” without providing data.

      The number of overall deaths in the U.S. has been higher than what would be expected since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part because of the virus, overdoses and other causes. COVID-19 vaccines prevented nearly 2 million U.S. deaths in just their first year of use.

      Some deaths exploited in the film predate the pandemic. California writer Dolores Cruz published an essay in 2022 about grieving for her son, who died in a car crash in 2017. “Died Suddenly” used a screenshot of the headline in the film, portraying his death as vaccine related.

      “Without my permission, someone has taken his story to show one side, and I don’t appreciate that,” Cruz said in an interview. “His legacy and memory are being tarnished.”

      Others featured in the film survived — but have been forced to watch clips of their medical emergencies misrepresented around the world. For Brazilian TV presenter Rafael Silva, who collapsed while reporting on air because of a congenital heart abnormality, online disinformation prompted a wave of harassment even before the “Died Suddenly” film used the footage.

      “I received messages saying that I should have died to serve as an example for other people who were still thinking about getting the vaccine,” Silva said.

      Many of the posts online cite no evidence except that the person who died had been vaccinated at some point in the past, using a common disinformation strategy known as post hoc fallacy, according to Jetelina.

      “People assume that one thing caused another merely because the first thing preceded the other,” she said.

      Some claims about those who’ve suffered heart issues also weaponize a kernel of truth — that COVID-19 vaccines can cause rare heart inflammation issues, myocarditis or pericarditis, especially in young men. Medical experts say these cases are typically mild and the benefits of immunization far outweigh the risks.

      The narrative also has leveraged high-profile moments like the collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin as he suffered cardiac arrest during a game last month after a fierce blow to his chest. But sudden cardiac arrest has long been a prominent cause of death in the U.S. — and medical experts agree the vaccine didn’t cause Hamlin’s injury.

    • the epoch times – Guillain-Barré Syndrome Linked to COVID-19 Vaccine: CDC Study

      A disruptive syndrome may be caused by one of the COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States, U.S. officials said in a new study.

      Seventy-three cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which causes the immune system to attack parts of the nervous system, were confirmed in adults within 42 days of vaccination with Johnson & Johnson’s shot, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported in the Feb. 1 paper.

      Only 31 cases were expected, based on the typical annual rate of the syndrome.

      Approximately 3,000 to 6,000 cases of the syndrome are diagnosed in the United States in a typical year.

      Several non-COVID vaccines have been linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome, including the swine flu vaccine.

      Increased reports after the Johnson & Johnson vaccination were reported in 2021, within months of the authorization of the shot, prompting regulators to add information about the observed increased risk to fact sheets given to vaccine recipients and providers.

      For the new paper, researchers started with reports lodged with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which the CDC co-manages, and worked to verify whether each report was supported by medical records and other data.

      They dug into reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) from Dec. 14, 2020, through Jan. 28, 2022, following vaccination with the vaccines from Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Moderna. The latter two utilize messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.

      Overall, researchers verified 295 cases. Numerically, most were after the mRNA vaccines. But during the time period studied, many more doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were administered.

      The researchers identified a higher-than-expected number of cases after the Johnson & Johnson vaccination and a lower-than-expected number of cases for the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines.

      They said that the findings “suggest that Ad26.COV2.S vaccination was associated with GBS and that GBS after BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 may represent background incidence.” Ad26.COV2.S is the trade name of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine. BNT162b2 is the trade name of Pfizer’s vaccine; mRNA-1273 is the trade name of Moderna’s vaccine.

      None of the companies responded to requests for comment.

      Limitations of the study included a lack of dose-specific analyses.

      Funding sources were not listed.

      The paper could not prove causation but researchers noted the results added to a growing body of research of GBS cases after vaccination with the Johnson & Johnson or AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines. Both are built on an adenovirus vector. AstraZeneca’s vaccine has never been authorized in the United States.

      U.S. officials already recommend people not get Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine due to a link to thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or low platelet levels combined with blood clotting. It is still authorized, though, for administration in the United States.

      Approximately 18.9 million doses have been administered as of Feb. 2.

      Deaths

      Ten of the people who experienced GBS after COVID-19 vaccination died. Four of the deaths were following Pfizer vaccination, four of the deaths were following Moderna vaccination, and two were following Johnson & Johnson vaccination.

      Analysis of death certificates and other records showed that GBS was listed as the cause of death for seven of the people, “however, there was no epidemiologic evidence to suggest an association between either mRNA vaccine and GBS,” the CDC researchers said.

      In one of the deaths after Johnson & Johnson’s shot, the deceased began experiencing symptoms of the syndrome 70 days after vaccination. That’s “outside an epidemiologically accepted risk interval to assume an association between vaccination and GBS,” the researchers said.

      The other person who died had symptoms appear five days after vaccination.

      “Based on the available evidence, it is biologically plausible that Ad26.COV2.S vaccination may have been associated with the death, although definitively establishing such an association is difficult with the available information, and conclusions about causality cannot be made in this observational study,” the researchers said.

      Another Recent Paper
      Researchers in Italy, in a paper released as a preprint on Jan. 19, identified an increased risk of GBS after both the first and second dose of Moderna’s vaccine, as well as after the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

      They did not detect an increased risk following Johnson & Johnson vaccination or Pfizer vaccination, even after analyzing by subgroups such as males and females.

      Overall, researchers found 287 cases of GBS after COVID-19 vaccination, including 17 after Johnson & Johnson vaccination. Like the U.S. study, the risk was influenced by the number of doses administered in Italy in the time period that was studied, or Dec. 27, 2020, to Sept. 30, 2021.

      The Italian researchers drew from regional healthcare databases and employed a self-controlled case series design, which has been used elsewhere to monitor vaccine safety.

      Limitations of the study, which was funded by the Italian drug regulator AIFA, included not reviewing clinical records to verify reported cases.

    The House GOP is starting to take on the Deep State.

    The House Judiciary Committee has sent its first subpoenas to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.

    It requests all communications between the DOJ, FBI, Department of Education, and the National School Boards Association.

    The subpoenas are over the school board memo targeting parents.

    The Hill reported:

    The House Judiciary Committee fired off its first subpoenas under the leadership of Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), targeting a trio of Biden administration officials including Attorney General Merrick Garland over a short-lived memo dealing with threats against school board members

    German Investigators Conclude There is NO EVIDENCE that Russia Is Behind Explosions of Nord Stream Pipelines to Europe

    Three deep-water explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines under the Baltic Sea in September 2022.

    Swedish seismologists reported that one of the three explosions measures 2.3 on the Richter Scale of earthquake intensity, but this was no earthquake. It was explosion—like a gigantic undersea mine.

    Advertisement – story continues

    The explosions guaranteed that Germany and the EU would not go wobbly with regard to sanctions against Russian energy imports. The damage to pipelines will take months repair, and repairs are unlikely to begin until this summer. Even if Germany were to cry “uncle” as civil unrest intensifies over lack of heat and energy, even if Russia decided to turn the power back on, the conduit for Russian gas to Europe was broken.

    No country has taken responsibility for the blasts that took out the Nord Stream pipelines to Europe.

    Experts say womb transplants for transwomen are needed to end discrimination

    […]<bThe huge scientific breakthrough would give biological males the chance to carry a child,

    […]Only tiny modifications would be needed

    […] transgender women should have the same right to carry a child as a woman born female.

    […]giving transwomen wombs would help address the mental anguish they suffered by not being able to fully embrace their gender identity.

    […]This process would also likely involve the removal of the testicles to stop the production of male hormones that could interfere with a future baby,

    […]a person with a penis and a beard may now be a woman, because it is the person’s inner sense of their gender that dictates who they are

    […]Seventy-five people who identified as male gave birth in Australia in 2020, the most comparable country with data.

  17. global news – Ontario dairy farmer sparks controversy with video showing raw milk being poured down the drain

    Under Canada’s management supply system, there’s no further incentive once you’ve delivered your limit and as a result, farmers are being asked to dump. While the amount being dumped is perhaps seen as a drop in the bucket overall, with experts saying dairy farmers around the country dump anywhere from 100 million to 300 million litres a year, it still leaves many questioning the system at a time when food prices are putting a pinch on many families.

  19. Here We Go: Researchers Warn of Dangerous Fungal Illness Rapidly Spreading Across Country ‘Due to Climate Change’ (VIDEO)

    Medical professionals are warning the public about a dangerous fungal infection that is rapidly spreading across the country, particularly in the states of California and Arizona.

    There has been an increase in reported cases of rare Valley fever, and climate change may be to blame, according to doctors.
    Valley fever (also called coccidioidomycosis or “cocci”) is a disease caused by a fungus that grows in the soil and dirt in some areas of California and the southwestern United States, according to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).

    “People and animals can get sick when they breathe in dust that contains the Valley fever fungus. This fungus usually infects the lungs and can cause respiratory symptoms including cough, fever, chest pain, and tiredness,” the agency added.
