I’ll get into a little detail about why this CDC change, if implemented, will only speed up the economic crisis we are about to enter. [However, don’t share that aspect with anyone other than those closest to you.] First, the change being discussed…
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, the husband of a very sketchy Chinese communist party shadow official that no one ever discusses, told CNN today the CDC is likely to revise the quarantine guidance to include a negative test for COVID before exit.
(Via Daily Mail) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to further change its recommendations for Americans diagnosed with COVID-19, potentially requiring a negative test to leave isolation before ten days.
Last week, the agency shortened its recommended isolation period from 10 days to five days for people who have minimal Covid symptoms. The move drew criticism from experts who said a negative test should’ve been included.
Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy said that the CDC is working to further revise the isolation guidance, telling CNN on Tuesday that he expects a clarification ‘any day now.’
[REPOST by request with note: We will get the December data in about a week from now]
You might remember: October 13, 2021, Joe Biden delivered widely carried remarks about specific actions his administration was taking to increase operations at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB).
Here we take a closer look at the claims since the original announcement, and then highlight the actual results from the ports. The port operations are actually doing worse today than they were in October. They are less efficient, less productive and have handled less freight in November than they did in October. The factual results are exactly the opposite of the administration claims.
The October 13, 2021, White House fact sheet is HERE, “announcing a series of public and private commitments to move more goods faster, and strengthen the resiliency of our supply chains, by moving towards 24/7 operations at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.” On November 17, 2021, the White House gave an update, “Recent Progress at Our Ports: Moving Cargo and Filling Shelves” and claiming the increased hours of operations were delivering on the White House expectations of increased productivity and offloading capacity.
Throughout these past 11 weeks, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg have been claiming their supply chain task force has been successful in generating exceptional results. They claimed changing the hours of operations increased the port capacity, specifically targeting the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. However, if we look at the actual records from both ports, we find exactly the opposite:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the November job openings and turnover data today [DATA HERE] showing 370,000 workers quit their jobs in November bringing the quits rate now to 4.5 million people.
From the report, “Quits increased in several industries with the largest increases in accommodation and food services (+159,000); health care and social assistance (+52,000); and transportation, warehousing, and utilities (+33,000).”
Over the 12 months ending in November 2021, hires totaled 74.5 million and separations totaled 68.7 million, yielding a net employment gain of 5.9 million for 2021. However, while the unemployment rate drops with fewer people working, the employment picture overall appears to be tenuous.
The FRED personal savings rate for Americans overall [DATA HERE] has been dropping rapidly since March 2021, the last federal COVID employment bailout injection. All of the federal assistance has created massive data skews in the savings rate, as federal subsidies gave an artificial boost to the U.S. savings rate.
It appears that the aggregate American worker is now using their savings, created by COVID bailouts, to offset the massive inflation created by the COVID bailouts. The net result is a workforce going into negative savings each month as inflation driven expenses (energy, fuel, food) are higher than earnings. This is an unsustainable situation.
Let’s hope this preliminary injunction holds up for the Special Warfare Personnel [Court Ruling HERE]
(Via AP) – The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas today issued a preliminary injunction, stopping the Department of Defense from punishing military service members who have religious objections to the vaccine mandate. First Liberty Institute filed a federal lawsuit and motion for preliminary injunction on behalf of dozens of U.S. Navy SEALs and other Naval Special Warfare personnel against the Biden Administration and the Department of Defense for their refusal to grant religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
“Forcing a service member to choose between their faith and serving their country is abhorrent to the Constitution and America’s values,” said Mike Berry, General Counsel for First Liberty Institute. “Punishing SEALs for simply asking for a religious accommodation is purely vindictive and punitive. We’re pleased that the court has acted to protect our brave warriors before more damage is done to our national security.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is using the J6 ‘threat to our democracy‘ narrative in an effort to gain support for legislation that will permit the federal takeover of elections. In a letter today, Schumer sets a deadline date of January 17 for a change in the Senate rules to remove the filibuster.
Schumer writes this letter without actually having the needed number of votes to change the rules, but he’s attempting to create pressure on fellow Democrats. Full propaganda letter below, but here’s the part that matters:
WASHINGTON DC – Chuck Schumer is attempting a filibuster Hail Mary as Democrats’ agenda on both elections reform and President Joe Biden’s economic plans remains stalled at the beginning of a critical midterm election year.
The consequences of a viral interview between Joe Rogan and Dr. Robert Malone continue to reverberate. Google, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook have all removed the interview from their platforms and banned the content sharing. Obviously, the content of the interview has been deemed subversive to the interests of U.S. government officials and Big Tech.
However, that said, Texas republican congressman Troy Nehls (TX-CD22) has placed the transcript of the interview into the public record.
Despite the predictability and transparency of the propaganda effort, the media and democrats are going all-in. All the broadcast Sunday Talk shows were filled with the “democracy in danger” talking points using the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill protests to drive the agenda.
We can likely expect an entire week of building apoplexy culminating in some form of DC release. The Lawfare crew and the J6 committee members have been producing this pantomime for almost a year, and it kicks off the 2022 Democrat mid-year election effort.
Along with the traditional democrat pearl-clutchers the republican wing of the UniParty is putting forth the insufferables: Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Pete Meijer and the one-eyed Cheney, Dan Crenshaw. Additionally, the collapse of the ‘winter of death’ narrative combined with the inability of a new canine in the White House to rebrand the occupant, means even more emphasis will be placed on the J6 nonsense this week.
You might have heard that congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG) was permanently removed from Twitter today under the auspices of breaking the approved speech rules for the Rona. However, it seems more likely -or at least more convenient- that her voice was removed due to the forward operational needs of the J6 engineering team.
Immediately following the scenes today in Amsterdam, this seems like a very appropriate place to put the latest remarks on the situation by Neil Oliver.
As the financially controlled GBN professional pundits walk the tightrope between their very visible ideological support for the elitist oppression, and yet tender offerings for an audience thirsting for the freedom message, the stenographers across the pond ask Neil Oliver for his perspectives as we head into the New Year.
Neil Oliver, standing firmly upon the position of the righteous, is forced to play pretend with the pundits in order to broadcast his message. Yes, the independent and overwhelming majority of significant voices in the rebel alliance have to make these decisions. It is what it is…. but the message is well transmitted regardless. WATCH:
Neil Oliver knows the subtle skills it takes to move the Overton window from the perspective of the ‘right side of history.’ His comments about forced and coerced isolation as a criminal act are not only true, but also well received and well-articulated.
The ruling class, fraught with ever growing fear, has crossed into the Rubicon of lawlessness. I agree with Oliver that overall, this will lead to a good outcome. The line of acceptance is different for all people. We need the forces driving that line to move rapidly in order to assemble the largest army possible.
Unfortunately, we are in an era where we see how weak many of our brothers and sisters have become as the era of dependency, example: “We are the world” collectivism, has rotted the spirit of aggressive individualism.
We are simultaneously trying to move the fulcrum bubble for characteristics like laziness, complacency, guilt and shame. That type of effort can take a generation, because we were lazy about it before. We rolled our eyes, dispatched the politically correct, and allowed the indoctrination machinery of education, culture and public policy to shape the landscape. Now, now we see the longer-term consequences.
Previously the police in Melbourne, Australia, held the record as being the most violent anti-protesting enforcement mechanism of a totalitarian state, using tanks, tear gas and rubber bullets to wage war against their citizens. However, today the police in Amsterdam said, ‘hold my beer‘ and went one step further.
Massive anti-lockdown demonstrations in Amsterdam turned into real violence with protesters mauled by police dogs and beaten with batons in the streets. The COVID compliance police went to extraordinary lengths to be physically violent as noted in the videos from the protest. WATCH:
.
Another video shows just how massive this crowd was; and, at any given moment, if this crowd REALLY wanted to turn the tables on the police and put blood on the streets, it would have been entirely possible.
