The politics of COVID-19 are becoming too obvious.  Joe Biden’s approval ratings are collapsing.  In response, the White House messaging team, led by Chief of Staff Ron Klain, has dropped back to the value of COVID fear and started promoting the need for multiple booster shots; or else.   There appears to be a pattern, as the same political messaging group behind California Governor Gavin Newsom are promoting the same approach. However, they have a problem.

The Democrat reliance on the COVID fear as a political tool is wearing off; perhaps the panic has an expiration date, or perhaps people are starting to realize the politics of manipulated COVID messaging is just that, ‘political messaging’.  The vaccine results from Israel undercut the U.S. vaccine narrative; simultaneously, the open-society results from Sweden show how society can function without chasing endless mitigation efforts (ie masks) that provide no benefit.

Many Americans are absorbing all the information available on a daily basis and appear to be seeing-through the ever-evolving, ever-changing, ever-contradictory, non-scientific COVID dictates. Yes, there is a virus; but also, these government directed solutions are delivering worse outcomes than the virus itself.

As a result of growing public cynicism, health officials inside the administration are attempting to retain what little remains of their own crumbling credibility.   Health officials inside the administration are now pushing back against the White House direction to promote never-ending and untested vaccine ‘booster shots’ as tools for fear and control over people.

WASHINGTON — Top federal health officials have told the White House to scale back a plan to offer coronavirus booster shots to the general public this month, saying that regulators need more time to collect and review all the necessary data, according to people familiar with the discussion.

The latest round of national media pandemic messaging is targeted and intentional.  The objective is fear… and the scale of the narrative pushed by the national media toward that effort is large.  Conversely, the same media objective is to Alinsky those who would be a visible push-back against COVID fear, and that is why Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is being targeted.

In the background of this effort is the California recall of Gavin Newsom.  The governor and national allied media are working together to weaponize the fear of COVID as a closing message against the recall effort.  Newsom’s latest commercials [SEE HERE] spotlight his advocacy for forced vaccinations and forced masking policy.

The direct message is, ‘if I am recalled you will all die from COVID, but if you keep me in office I will protect you’.  The message reeks of desperation.

We can expect the nationally promoted panic around COVID to increase exponentially over the next 10 days, and then lessen significantly immediately following the September 14th recall vote.   It is critical for the effort of Governor Newsom that national fear over COVID is maintained.

(Via Politico) […] “What’s at stake in the September 14 recall? It’s a matter of life and death,” states a new ad against the recall, slamming top GOP candidate Larry Elder for having a “radically different” approach to vaccines than Newsom and for pushing “deadly conspiracy theories” about the virus. Newsom’s team was quick to circulate a CNN interview this week in which Elder suggested children did not need to be vaccinated and downplayed their risk of infection.

As previously noted, the Biden administration State Department claimed approximately 124,000 persons were evacuated from the Kabul airport.  Of that number approximately 6 to 7 thousand were Americans.  Now mainstream media [Bloomberg Reporting] is beginning to admit that no one knows who the approximately 118,000 other people really are.

This is quite a stunning admission from Bloomberg, putting the spotlight on the White House:

[Bloomberg] – Days after the Biden administration finished evacuating about 124,000 people from Afghanistan, it’s coming to grips with the reality that it doesn’t know who many of those people are.

What’s emerging, according to government officials and advocates, is that a small percentage of the Afghan citizens who got out are the ones the U.S. pledged to place at the top of its priority list: the thousands who had worked for the U.S. and its allies as well as employees of nongovernmental groups and media organizations.

Instead, initial findings suggest that while some who escaped were locally employed staff, many got out because they were part of the initial crush of people who made it to Kabul’s airport as the city fell to the Taliban or secured passage through airport gates thanks to luck or help from people in the U.S. or elsewhere.

I can confirm the basic background of these stories; however, unlike all others I will not disclose details.   You may remember my outlines about “ballot mules”, and a process of reviewing massive amounts of data {June, Go Deep}.  This is connected.  However, I strongly advise readers to review the presented information from these sources with the knowledge that their baseline is their *recent* discovery of a background investigation that has been taking place for quite a while.

First, Breitbart has a mostly correct story about some of the background [See Here] that involves Catherine Englebrecht, a genuine national hero, and her organization True The Vote (TTV).  Long-term readers of CTH will know our support for, and alignment with, Englebrecht and her group.  Breitbart’s reporting is based on information provided by a donor who is funding part of the investigative effort.  [FYI, I smell the Mercers on that leak]

Steve Bannon is reporting based on a discussion with John Fredericks {Direct Rumble Leak}.  Bannon is always sketchy when it comes to strategic planning; he talks too much.  John Fredericks motives are unclear, but it appears he is just trying to be first with the information; and I suspect he did not reach out to Englebrecht for strategic discussion on the story, or what damage it could do to the work of TTV by going very loud, too early.  WATCH:

.

What people call “ballot traffickers” are actually ballot “mules.”   Most of the information in the Breitbart article is accurate [SEE HERE].  I am not comfortable outlining more than CTH previously shared in June about this investigative effort [SEE HERE], because I am 100% certain the DOJ and Attorney General Merrick Garland is waiting to target Englebrecht and True The Vote.

The network of the Lawfare crew is also on standby against this election investigation, as well as major DNC legal operative Marc Elias who recently left Perkins Coie to set up his own shop specifically to work on this issue.  Elias took 13 lawyers and ten partners to his new firm.   That puts the DOJ, Lawfare and Elias’s new team all in alignment against Englebrecht, True The Vote and the American people.  Now do you see why I would not want to compromise the integrity of the work Englebrecht has been doing?

Bannon, Fredericks and Breitbart could be putting things at risk.  I will not.  What I will do is share again what CTH previously outlined in June about this:

The COVID madness has created a most unusual dynamic for the residents down-under and the painfully monitored Australian media who have to be careful not to run afoul of the government COVID compliance watchers.

Once a nation creates an alternate reality of itself, in this case a totalitarian reality based on government needing to create an irrational illusion of fear that becomes part of the accepted national identity, how can a media outlet call attention to the outcomes without finding themselves in front of the governmental board of inquisition?  That is the current challenge for media in Australia trying to report on their reality and yet avoid the ire from the national board of COVID compliance who have successfully brainwashed the audience.

One Australian media personality, Sky News host Rita Panahi, seems to have found a way. Ms Panahi continues to highlight broadcasts from around the world and articles in publications such as The Atlantic and The Times of London.  The articles are commenting on the freedoms Australians had lost throughout the pandemic.  Rita Panahi avoids the COVID Compliance censors by reporting on how the world is viewing Australian news.  It is weird, and yet it is a perfect example of how bizarre the world has become over COVID.  WATCH:

“Publications around the world, which previously did not pay much attention to Australia, are wondering what sort of a dystopian nightmare we have turned into,” Panahi says.  Later following with “we are not like the rest of the world. Australia and New Zealand stand alone in enforcing some of the most draconian restrictions on what are supposed to be free people.” Which is precisely the point.

I commend the strategy of Sky News and Rita Panahi for reporting behind enemy lines, to allies within her own nation, in such as manner as the enemy controlling the broadcast signal cannot remove her voice.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released the August jobs report [Data Link Here] showing only 235,000 jobs created in August.  Economists and financial analysts were predicting 750,000+.

While the financial punditry are jaw-agape with disappointment, these results are in line with the background data and should not have been a surprise.  Within the BLS data you will note the retail sector lost 29,000 jobs, and the leisure and hospitality sector remained unchanged.

Massive inflation and price increases in fuel, gasoline, energy costs and food pricing is slowing down retail purchasing of non-essential goods.  The working class are cutting back non-essential purchases and focusing on how to pay for groceries, electricity and gasoline.  Connected to this checkbook issue, the working class are not spending on leisure and hospitality.   Everyone is focused on making ends meet.  Spending decisions are prioritized.

The government COVID subsidies have also created a false bottom.  Service sector workers could make more money from COVID bailouts than they could by returning to work.  Some families made the decision to stay home, drop the daycare cost for their kids, and actually net a higher overall income position from government relief funds.  This dynamic is mostly noted in the lower tier of the income and wage earning employment category.

Government run education, local and state, also saw a drop in jobs of -26,000 simultaneous to kids returning to school.  Why did this happen?  Well, private sector education gained +40,000 jobs. This is in line with the cultural shift.  There is so much COVID propaganda, and manipulation of teaching outcomes as a result of unionized education dictates around COVID, many parents have had enough with the nonsense, mask mandates and indoctrination and are taking their kids out of public schools.

First things first, the Taliban, ISIS, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, ISIS-k, are all factions of the same ‘authentic Islam’ ideology under the umbrella of the Muslim Brotherhood.  The U.S. and Western media, as well as the State Department and Intelligence Branch of the U.S. government, like to create false distinctions when it fits their need.  However, the groups are aligned – not adversarial, unless there is a geographic contest for power in a specific place.  That’s essentially the only time they are in conflict.

The ‘extremist’ (by our standard) factions, under the political cover of the Muslim Brotherhood, are united in their dislike of The United States, most of Europe and ‘The West‘ writ large.  They hate our filthy money and the politics that comes with it.

The two U.S. internal groups attempting to avoid accountability for the mess in Afghanistan break out to: (1) State Dept, CIA, Intelligence community; -vs- (2) WH, Pentagon and NatSec Council.  Currently the State Department and Intelligence Community are winning the blame game.  The White House and Pentagon are being identified by most Americans as responsible for the mess.

This duality of the State Dept (olive branch) -vs-  Pentagon (arrows) is the internal dynamic depicted on the presidential seal.  However, when the internal mechanisms are trying to save their institutional credibility; and those internal motives are based on trying to retain corrupt systems for affluence and influence; the modern battle is distinctly different.

U.S. money needs to flow somewhere in order for those who skim and direct the cash to have a cover for the business model created by the flow itself.   The State Dept., CIA and Intelligence Community wants to send money to Afghanistan so they can position their friends and family to benefit from the business end of the process.

As a result of the State Department winning the blame game, they are now in a great position to flip the narrative and position the Taliban to need financial assistance. However, before they can pull off that shift, they need to change the public impression of the Taliban. After all, the U.S. has been calling the Taliban terrorists for decades….

… Insert ISIS-k!

The magical mythical ISIS-k becomes the new enemy allowing the “Good Taliban” shift.   The Taliban go from being terrorists, to being U.S. allies in the fight against ISIS-k.  See how that works?

In order for left-wing ideologues to continue advancing their ideological belief system, a system built upon intentional fraud, they must pretend not to know things.  This truism is the inherent core of their hypocrisy.

For the past several years the ultra-progressive left have been selling a ridiculous narrative that multiple genders exist.  Within that multi-gender worldview, men can get to compete in women’s sports and also get pregnant.  They even changed the language of mother and father to “birthing person”.   Wokeism and cultural Marxism are deployed against anyone who does not accept this assertion in society.   When you challenge the progressive orthodoxy with intellectual argument, the response is always an emotional attack in defense of their unsustainable position.   A case study in this exact outcome happened today during Jen Psaki’s press briefing.

The White House spokesperson accidentally (and very forcefully) took the public position today, that only two genders exist.  WATCH:

.

Other revelations today include:

“My body my choice,” except forced vaccinations against you are okay.

Also, “my health status is dependent on your medical condition,” so, it’s okay to slap the cheeseburger out of your vaccinated hand – right?

Polls are generally worthless; media polls even more so.  However, when the ultra far-left NPR produces a manipulated poll that can only get Joe Biden a 43% approval rating, you know things are bad… horrible for the White House occupant. [Polling Data Here]

The latest NPR/Marist poll shows Joe Biden with a 43% approval overall, and that’s with a proclaimed 85% of Democrats still sticking with him {insert eyeroll here}.   64% of Independents disapprove of Biden’s job performance and 95% of Republicans disapprove.

The polling was D+7 [pdf here] to achieve an overall 43% approval rating.

In related news perhaps Joe Biden will be campaigning for Liz Cheney.
