CTH continues to be cautious with measured expectations around this story, because a thoroughly corrupt and politically compromised DOJ has possessed all of this information for almost a year. {GO DEEP} There will be a response.  Likely a massive, coordinated and weaponized response from the totality of the most politically corrupt DC system in our nation’s history, every branch, and their aligned ideologues outside government.

First, the preview {Direct Rumble Link}:

No one wants to join Michael Hastings, and yet that is the scale and scope of the risk inherent within this story.  The good news is that more Americans are awake to the issues now than ever existed.  We have Donald J. Trump to thank for that.

Catherine Engelbrecht is a genuine national hero, and her organization True The Vote (TTV) will be known in history long after these decades are passed.  Long-term readers of CTH also know we fully support Englebrecht and her team, we always have.

Always remember, CNN is the official “fake news” narrative engineering effort of the U.S. State Department.   The Washington Post pushes the Intelligence Community effort (CIA, etc.), and the New York Times push the FBI/DOJ (state police) effort.

Today in an effort to use Ukraine as a proxy state for war against Russia, the State Dept and CIA are claiming the Russians are amassing massive stockpiles of blood at the Ukraine border as they prepare for a protracted war.   In response the Ukraine government tells the Biden crew to knock it off with the nonsense.  This puts CNN journalists in Ukraine telling CNN journalists in the U.S. to stop telling ‘fake news’.

(CNN) – The US has seen indications that Russia has positioned supplies of blood near Ukraine’s borders, two senior US defense officials told CNN Saturday, as part of its accumulation of medical supplies, troops and military equipment in the area that US officials have said could signal plans for an invasion.

Keep an eye on this story folks; there’s something else here.

The FDA decision to block COVID-19 treatment options is very sketchy, and I sense that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis knows the science will not support the Biden administration.  This story -when exposed- has the potential to bring down the Biden administration, big time… DeSantis senses it.

Earlier today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis held a roundtable press conference with physicians, clinicians and other health officials in Florida to denounce the Biden FDA decision to revoke monoclonal antibody treatments as a therapeutic option.  The FDA action was not only done without communication, but the decision was also made without study and without any input from the treatment side of the COVID-19 dynamic.

Here’s a brief segment of the DeSantis statement:

The full presser is below and is well worth watching to listen to the doctors who refute the FDA claim that monoclonal treatments do not assist patients with Omicron variant.  Doctors have treated Omicron patients successfully with the monoclonal antibody treatments. The actual doctors who are treating the patients refute the FDA directly.

The input from Dr. Dwight Reynolds is very revealing. Something is very odd around this story.

The official U.S. shot goblin, Anthony Fauci, announced earlier today, kids 6 months to 4 years-old will receive a three-dose vaccine schedule as soon as the political operatives in the FDA come to an agreement with the multinational pharmaceutical companies.

However, other than the most entrenched Branch Covidians, who are willing to subject all of their children to the experimental drugs and gas station sushi, a wider effort might run into a much more skeptical American population.

The increased skepticism, some would say ‘awakening’ over the vaccine intent and efficacy, is highlighted by the reluctance of the previously vaccinated population to take a booster shot.  First, to the kids:

(New York Post) – […] Two clinical trials of the Pfizer vaccine on children ages 6 months to 2 years old, and ages 2 to 4 are underway, but the older group hasn’t yet met standards, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said at a press conference.

“Dose and regimen for children 6 months to 24 months worked well, but it turned out the other group from 24 months to 4 years did not yet reach the level of non-inferiority, so the studies are continued,” Fauci said, referencing effectiveness standard comparison to adults.

A Gallup news survey [DATA HERE] indicates that eight out of ten Americans expect higher prices and continued rising inflation, as the working class can see the through the smoke and mirrors of the Biden economy.

Overall, there are multiple datapoints that show the economic quagmire that is taking place right now.  Gasoline continues to rise in price, as oil costs continue to skyrocket as an outcome of Biden energy policy.  Food store prices have only just begun to show the higher prices that are built into the replenishment process.

Newly arriving goods overall are at a much higher price that previous inventory.  The 30, 60 and 90-day terms of purchase order fulfillment are now reflecting the cumulative cost increases at every stage in the supply chain.  Inbound prices to retail are still climbing. This is an economic quagmire created by inflation that cannot be avoided.

Fuel, food, home energy and home prices overall are rising.  As a result, durable good spending has contracted.  CTH has pointed out this dynamic for almost five months; however, the actual data is difficult to extract, because the scale of government spending in 2021 has clouded all of the economic indicators.

The official government inflation statistics at 7 to 9% do not accurately reflect the real inflation being felt by consumers, which is in the 25 to 40 percent range for highly consumable products.  If you look around your local community, it is not difficult to see that working class Americans have modified all of their spending priorities to deal with the food, energy and housing inflation that cannot be avoided.

Tennesse Democrat Jim Cooper (Nashville) becomes the 29th Democrat to announce he will not seek reelection (link).  “Today I am announcing that I will not run for reelection to Congress. After 32 years in office, I will be leaving Congress next year.”

Jim Cooper was first elected to the House in 1990 and was going to have a redistricting battle.  Several blue states (CA, NY, IL) are losing congressional seats due to population losses, while red states are gaining congressional districts due to population growth.  The great ideological cleaving between Democrat communists and middle class Americans continues.

The Washington Times is reporting that leadership in the Democrat party is pleading with house members not to leave.  However, with a looming electoral backlash on the horizon, the pleas are falling on deaf ears.  Polling indicates there is a major storm on the horizon for Democrats, as their ideological thirst for power is transparent {link} and being rejected. Every single policy the Biden administration touches creates a crap storm of anxiety for the ‘Main Street’ American worker.

Even the New York Times has gone from panic to ‘shock’: “The numbers are even worse for Democrats in the eight states expected to have the closest Senate elections, according to Langer — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Not only is Biden’s overall job approval rating in those states 33 percent, 10 points lower than it is in the rest of the country, but registered voters in those eight states say they are more likely to vote for Republican House candidates than for Democrats by 23 points (at 58 percent to 35 percent).

There are now 29 House Communists (ie Democrats) officially jumping ship and announcing they will not attempt re-election {link}.  There will likely be more before the primary races begin.

Even in a defeat from the United States Supreme Court, the political weasels running the U.S. Dept of Labor cannot reverse their position without lying and obfuscating.

The U.S. Dept of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announces their withdrawal of the employee vaccine mandate that was ruled unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. [pdf HERE]   However, note how they change the prior enforcement order from a “mandate” to a mere suggestion: “strongly encouraging vaccination.”

(pdf link)

The effective date of the reversal is tomorrow, January 26, 2022.  However, in reversing their position notice how OSHA attempts to rewrite history and claim they were only “strongly encouraging vaccination.”

The institutions of our government are corrupt top to bottom with the cancer of metastatic political filth.

This is a very good thing.  A New York State Supreme Court has blocked the unilateral state-wide mask mandate of Governor Kathy Hochul and state Health Commissioner Basset.  The legal reasoning is very important.   NY Supreme Court Ruling HERE.

The authority of the New York governor and health commissioner, provided by the declaration of a state emergency, has expired.  With that expiration any/all mandates from the office are invalid; all requirements for public health -such as the mask mandate- MUST come from the legislative body.

According to the ruling, Judge Thomas Rademaker said that neither the governor nor the state health commissioner had the authority to enact the mandate without the state legislature, since the governor no longer has emergency powers. [full pdf here]

There is really only one question that matters at the heart of the U.S. position toward Ukraine and NATO.  It was asked halfway through the press conference with Jennifer Psaki today.

“Considering that NATO allies have not held up their own agreement to spend 2 percent of their own GDP on their military preparedness … if Europeans are not willing to expend their own blood and treasure on their own self-defense why should Americans be expected to do so?” 

Spoiler Alert… The White House could not answer the question.  Jen Psaki hemmed, hawed, and attempted to use verbal linguistics to assemble previously over-used soundbites, but she could not -and did not- answer that question.  WATCH:

.

‘Nuf said.

The honest answer would be…  We, in the Biden and Obama administration, are doing all this stuff in Ukraine, for Ukraine and under the auspices of protecting Ukraine, because a whole bunch of us from both political parties in/around the DC beltway – along with our families – receive massive amounts of personal financial wealth from the DC money laundering operation of foreign aid money in/around Ukraine.

That’s the real answer, and the reason Psaki cannot reconcile the easiest question publicly.   The NATO members also know that American politicians enrich themselves and their families through the laundry of foreign aid to their own bank accounts.

For those who think the conflict is not being orchestrated by the Obama-Biden administration, consider this.  European countries and our NATO allies are not as worried about Russia entering Ukraine.

The people closest to the situation including France and Germany, are not asking for the U.S. to get involved.  Indeed, you can make the argument based on their public statements, that European NATO countries are not that concerned.  Even Chuck Todd (NBC) sees this.

It is the Obama-Biden foreign policy team that is creating anxiety over the potential for Russia to enter Ukraine, not our NATO allies. If we end up in a conflict in Ukraine, it will be because the professional political class in Washington DC want us to be in a conflict in Ukraine, not the American people.

Russian President Vladimir Putin can easily see this dynamic.

(Via ABC) – The State Department ordered diplomats’ families Sunday afternoon to depart the U.S. embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, amid heightened fears of a Russian attack on the country.  The embassy has also authorized non-emergency employees to depart, according to an internal cable obtained by ABC News.

In an updated travel advisory issued later Sunday, the State Department confirmed the drawdown and urged U.S. citizens in Ukraine to consider departing the country now using commercial flights.
