JoeBama’s National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, the twenty-something central planner in charge of all White House economic policy, tells a curiously skeptical Jake Tapper that things are working swimmingly, exactly according to plan.

According to the Biden-Deese theory on sustainable economic policy, massive spending creates massive inflation; which creates an increased demand for government subsidy to afford basic products; which creates a growing dependency on the government; which creates a need for massive spending.  Wash-Rinse-Repeat.

This is exactly the expanding economic dependency model sold by socialists around the world for generations, which Barack Obama and his Biden administration promise they have now perfected in order to remove the pesky inequities always associated with unbridled capitalism.  Smile everyone, government cheese aplenty….

In a rather ironic note, the parseltongue White House explanation is so disconnected from common sense, that furrowed brow’s brain is having an out of body issue, seemingly he is watching himself participate.   The producers shift the camera angles quickly to compensate.

It would appear that somewhere in the recesses of Tapper’s frontal cortex, there remains a glowing ember of the common sense particle.  Unfortunately for the CNN host, the synapse for the common sense particle is pinched between the ‘Smarter than thou tumor‘ and the expanding grey brain matter of moral relativity needed to sit silently and listen to bulls**t.

Within this cognitive conflict, you can visibly see Tapper’s guilt hypothalamus trying to make him uncomfortable… he sighs heavily as the infrequently exercised guilt glands attempt to trigger him to react.  Alas, the party groupthink microchip in his ear warns him to stay quiet.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is an ally in the fight against medical tyranny and by extension he has become a warrior against the global World Economic Forum participants who are attempting to reconstruct all global finance under the auspices of COVID-19 regulation.  {Direct Rumble Link}

Well, there it is.  According to political engineers who are tasked with pushing the COVID-19 narrative, the bureaucrats who determine U.S. health policy have not yet decided on how many booster shots will be needed to keep a person’s “vaccinated status” compliant.

Put another way, they have not determined the vaccine rate that keeps the pharmaceutical companies operating at maximum profitability.

Bloomberg – […] Some states, such as California and Colorado, have opened up booster shots to all adults who are at least six months past their second mRNA dose. It may turn out that the term “booster” is a bit of a misnomer, and that the correct number of shots for maximum efficacy isn’t yet known.

Vaccination recommendations often change as more data becomes available over time.  “It’s a good idea to keep an eye on CDC guidance.”

[…] It’s possible, says Justman, that the months-long gap between initial doses of the vaccine and boosters will help the immune system maintain a strong response for a much longer period than the initial regimen did. But we need more data to have any sort of definitive answer on that, she says.   (link)

Neel Kashkari is head of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve. If you know the financial lingo, you can see the dire forecast behind the opaque language.  In plain-speak, Kashari is saying when it comes to prices and inflation, “we’re screwed“…

In this interview with CBS talking head Margaret Brennan, Kashkari admits inflation is still going up, and it will get worse. Keep in mind, the lingo of the inflation conversation is discussing “percentages of change.” Kashkari claims the percentages of change will start to slow in a few years, but the prices will never return to their former level.

The percentage of inflationary change (this year vs last year) will continue going up, as prices continue to skyrocket over almost every sector. CTH points out this issue, because as the Fed continues printing current money, the value of future money drops and the price of goods continues to climb. The fast-turn goods rise in price quickest (now recorded at 6.2%), and the inflation on slow-turn durable goods lags but hits even harder.

Current real inflation inside the ‘total’ economy, the cumulative snowball that is coming down the mountain, is over 20% and still growing. This situation puts the forecast prices of 2022 goods at an alarming level. WATCH:

The fed has no tools to slow the rate of current inflation, as interest rates are disconnected {Revisit The New Dimension in Modern Economics} from the cost of goods produced. The only thing the Fed can do is to stop purchasing debt (Quantitative Easing), stop purchasing our own bonds, at a slower rate.

Despite being a progressive himself, even Neel Kashkari is telling congress to stop spending money.

ABC always pairs with The Washington Post for their media polling [DATA pdf HERE].  It has always made sense for the deep swamp (DC Inc) to work with the intelligence PR firm of the Washington Post, as they attempt to prop up their politics.  Unfortunately, the results of the latest outlook look terribly horrible for their future.

Why does George Stephanopoulos have a case of the sads… “As things stand, if the midterm elections were today, 51 percent of registered voters say they’d support the Republican candidate in their congressional district, 41 percent the Democrat. That’s the biggest lead for the Republicans in 110 ABC/Post polls to ask this question since November 1981.” The economic outcomes from JoeBama policy are again crushing Americans, as only 29% of voters view the economy as good.

70 percent of Americans say f**k Joe Biden, things are not good.  The key factor is the economy.  With inflation soaring, 70 percent say it’s in bad shape, up from 58 percent last spring. Joe Biden’s approval for handling the economy overall is down to 39 percent. Fifty-five percent now disapprove of Biden’s economic performance. In terms of Biden’s job performance overall, a new low of 41 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove; similar to his rating on the economy.

The Biden economic agenda is purposefully destroying America with massive inflation that is crushing the middle class. While the majority of Americans do not know the specifics of how the JoeBama policy is doing this, everyone can see and feel the outcomes…. and it is only getting worse.

One thing CTH does is to look at proposed leftist advancements through the prism of previously blocked moves.  The Joe Biden nomination of avowed communist Saule Omarova to the Treasury Department Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) should be considered in a similar perspective.

There’s a couple of different issues surfacing in the Omarova nomination.  Obviously, she is aligned with the view that controlling money is another way to control the behavior of businesses and people; Omarova’s previous statements {Go Deep} about intentionally bankrupting oil and gas companies is indicative of the former – and the most recent statements are aligned with the latter.  WATCH:

.

Obviously, Saule Omarova is interested in the concept of an all controlling central bank that would eliminate the need for private banking interests.  As she states, “There will be no more private bank deposit accounts, and all of the deposit accounts will be held directly at the fed.”  The basic premise is that all employers would funnel their payrolls into a centralized federal depository, where they would be then be taxed and re-distributed, electronically, to the workers.

One central bank, owned and operated by the federal government, would replace all the purposes within the private banking system.  Given her upbringing in the former Soviet Union, and considering her education at the University of Moscow, perhaps this outlook shouldn’t be surprising.   However, her nomination alone should be viewed as astonishing.

♦ Big Picture – The COVID Passport concept, now currently deployed in Europe and Australia, then becomes the vector for entry into a digital identification process.  At the end of that digital ID process is a centralized database, which, not coincidentally, directly aligns with the capability of the U.S. federal government to trigger what Omarova is advocating in that video – a centralized system to control all financial deposits and transactions through the digital ID previously created.

It doesn’t take a deep thinker to see how the federal government would eventually respond to having that much power over the financial accounts of Americans.  Cue the visual reference:

In order for communist ideologues to continue advancing their false and toxic ideology they have to pretend not to know things.

If confronted, what do you think this woke company will say they did not know? (Source):

Many people have asked: how is the best way to stop the insanity behind the incessant vaccine narrative?  The likely best approach is to start demanding the pharmaceutical companies have their liability waivers removed.

If the vaccine is safe and effective, why would the U.S. government still need to provide liability waivers from adverse vaccine outcomes?

Start pressuring legislators and elected officials to force the elimination of the waivers.  Alinsky them… Make them live up to their own narrative; their own words, their own rules.  If the vaccines are safe/effective, why do we need the waivers?    If you want to get more people vaccinated, drop the waiver moving forward.

Eliminate those liability waivers and watch how fast every vaccine mandate is dropped, while every voice demanding vaccination goes quiet.

More people are awakening to the uncomfortable reality that the FBI is a domestic enforcement mechanism for the Fourth Branch of Government.  The most recent awakening is being driven by the brazen FBI raid on Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe with the intent to leak the information to their allies at the New York Times.

Make no mistake, this is one long continuum of FBI activity that is only growing increasingly more obvious as they consider themselves unaccountable to anyone except their own ideological interests.   Who is the check in the U.S. justice system to provide oversight over the FBI?  The uncomfortable answer is no one.

Remember, the oft reported relationships surrounding the divisions within the Fourth Branch:  ♦The CIA uses The Washington Post. ♦The State Dept uses CNN, and ♦the FBI uses The New York Times.

James O’Keefe is currently in a lawsuit against The New York Times.  The FBI raids the home of O’Keefe and then passes along the confidential communication between Project Veritas and their legal team to the New York Times.  With a large audience, Tim Poole is realizing what CTH readers have been discussing for a decade:

.

Absolute power ends with absolute corruption.  The day after Christopher Steele appeared on ABC news to construct the defensive position against the information later released in an indictment by John Durham of ‘Trump-Russia’ conspiracy promoter Igor Danchenko.   The very next day, the FBI raids the home of Oleg Deripaska.

Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska was the former employer of Christopher Steele {Go Deep}.  The timing of the raid was transparently political.  George Stephanopoulos interviewed Steele, because the Clinton operation in 2016 was at risk.  Stephanopoulos’s interview was risk mitigation.  Deripaska’s raid the next day was cover.

The FBI raid on O’Keefe was done for the same ideological purpose as the raid on Deripaska.  This is all one long continuum.  All of this is coordinated by political operatives using the DOJ and FBI as their enforcement mechanism.

The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans has ruled against the Joe Biden OSHA vaccine mandate calling it “staggeringly overbroad.”

[The 22-page ruling and opinion is AVAILABLE HERE]

The three judge panel upheld its previous decision to put a stay on the order by Joe Biden against companies with 100 workers or more.  The Biden administration had instructed the Department of Labor to require COVID-19 vaccines.  The Biden administration’s effort to use an Emergency Temporary Standard OHSA rule was rejected by the court citing numerous flaws in their review and ruling:
