On Thursday, at 5:00pm ET, the installed occupant of the White House, Joe Biden, will announce the latest U.S. Government approach to COVID mitigation which is anticipated to carry more mandated vaccination requirements.  The details are not yet known; however, we can judge the approach by looking toward two specific allied nations who have been conducting the beta test on behalf of, and in coordination with, the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Intelligence Branch of government.  The Biden plan is reported to be a six prong approach.

The vaccine passport approach, triggered by France, seems to be the most likely scenario that Biden and the DoS will follow.  The monitoring, tracking, and rules against non-compliance for vaccine mandates will likely come from the approach being deployed in Australia.  The U.S. version tenuously has to avoid the pesky issues with constitutional limitations on government that are not present in France or Australia; so our version will likely be a blend of the two systems.

.

The mandatory vaccine passports will most likely follow the merging of Government and Corporate world.  In olden days, this was called Fascism; however, with the Antifa foot soldiers of the FBI acting as brownshirt operatives to obfuscate the historical record, they will not use the same terminology.

The enforcement mechanism will come from a similar merge of Government with Big Tech.  However, the Australian model of geolocation, QR codes and the cell phone app for check-in,  verification of vaccinated status and monitoring of U.S. citizens in a central database, will likely not pass U.S. constitutional muster if challenged.  It will be interesting to see how the federal government will propose the “enforcement” mechanism.

Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the people organizing the objective, so they don’t have to worry about political damage.   The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Democrat Socialist agenda.  The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.  The announcement will come at 5:00pm ET from the State Room in the White House.

Today was the deadline for citizens of France to carry their vaccination ID if they want to participate in society.   Citizens of France are required to carry their identification if they want to eat a restaurants, go to shopping malls or attend venues where crowds would gather.  [MSM CITATION HERE] Videos of the French police conducting random checks and checkpoints are surfacing.  WATCH:

As we noted last month when this was announced, France is the beta-test.  The U.S. State Department and French government have a long history of cooperation and testing for political and social change.

This will be coming soon to New York City (previously announced), and from there to towns and local communities across the United States.

Many Americans will look at yesterday’s dictates from French President Emmanuel Macron and shrug, saying: “It’s France and doesn’t matter to me.”  To those voices I would suggest you pay really close attention.  As we learned from the Charles Rivkin Project, the U.S. State Department and French government collaborate on cultural and social issues as they relate to government orders.

Recently American media, specifically CNN, who is the official PR campaign arm of the U.S. Department of State, have said, “Life needs to be harder for non-vaccinated Americans” (link). Yesterday, President Emmanuel Macron ruled that all French citizens must be vaccinated in order to shop, eat at restaurants, drink in bars, travel (use buses, trains, etc.), attend worship services or otherwise engage in life.

This announcement is a complete reversal from the prior French government position of not forcing vaccinations.  Now the French government is requiring businesses to inspect COVID passports (“sanitation IDs”) before they allow anyone into their business.   The media in France are very leftist and push the vaccine narrative, yet even they are shocked at the announcement.  WATCH:

.

I have no doubt, none whatsoever, that French officials and U.S. officials are closely discussing this approach in closed-door meetings.  France is being used as a test ground in a similar way the Rivkin Project was deployed.

Despite the wide social differences, at their core French nationalists are close in ideological alignment to Americans.  France is one of the few states left in Western Europe with the remnant of a national consciousness.

Keep a close eye on this…. it would not surprise me to see the U.S. government watching the French public reaction to gauge whether they too can begin a similar dictate.

Australian Sky News pundits laugh at how the U.S. corporate media hype the JoeBama administration while the world laughs at the G7 pantomime on display.

At least one news agency is honest….

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the pantomime and not see them; regardless of how hard the media attempts to proclaim the contrary…

Yellow vests of the world snicker…  Someone finally did what the majority of French people would support.  President Emmanuel Macron heads to the crowd in southern France to shake hands and greet the people…  A man in the crowd slaps him in the face.  The slap took place in the town of Tain-l’Hermitage, outside the city of Valence.  Reportedly the man shouted ‘Down with Macronia,’ before security staff intervene.

For the second bilateral meeting at the Davos summit, President Trump meets with President Simonetta Sommaruga of the Swiss Confederation. [Video and Transcript]

President Trump traveled overnight to Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum.  [Livestream Links and Daily Schedule Below] I found it very interesting that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was not on the Dec. delegation list.
The U.S. Delegation includes: Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin; Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross; Labor Secretary, Eugene Scalia; Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao; U.S. Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer; Under Secretary for Growth, Energy and Environment (DoS), Keith Krach; Asst to the President, Ivanka Trump; Asst. to the President, Jared Kushner; and Asst. to the President / Deputy for Policy Coordination, Christopher Liddell.
The 2020 Davos economic conference will be a little more important to watch this year (as it was in 2017) due to the completed U.S. Trade Agreements (S Korea, Japan, Mexico, Canada, and China) and the predicted focus for the Trump administration to pivot from Asia to the EU and U.K. for the next critical phase of the ‘America-First’ global trade reset.
There will likely be a great deal of attention upon the opening remarks by President Trump scheduled to be delivered at 5:30am ET / 11:30am Switzerland.

Earlier today President Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron had a phone call about the pending French digital services tax on U.S. companies, and USTR Lighthizer’s pending $2.4 billion 100% countervailing duty against high-end French products:

WHITE HOUSE – Today, President Donald J. Trump spoke with President Emmanuel Macron of France. The two leaders agreed it is important to complete successful negotiations on the digital services tax, and they also discussed other bilateral issues. (link)

Where “avoid tariff escalation” means Macron just took a knee.  He really has no choice.
United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer calculated a $2.4 billion pending tariff, at a rate of 100%, against select high-end French products as a result of France’s desperation for tax revenue and deciding to tax U.S. digital services.
The WTO already handed the U.S. legal authority against the EU for $2.5 billion in annual tariffs as a result of the Boeing case. Legally the EU cannot retaliate.
With Britain leaving the EU; and with Germany, France and Italy already suffering from a lack of investment and shrinking sales of industrial products – the EU economy is a sitting duck for President Trump to target.  There is no-way France can lead the charge in a tariff battle against the United States….  The conversation goes something like this:

Any headline that uses the phrase “France Warns” immediately requires a background review to understand the big picture driving French fears.
Just like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinking he could outwit President Trump’s policies on NAFTA trade (he failed), Trudeau’s bestie, French President Emmanuel Macron, has stupidly exhibited similar shortsightedness.  In the case of both leaders their weasel moves have put their nations’ into a precarious economic position.
To consider the future for France, it would be wise to remember last year when President Trump arrived to attend the G-7 in Biarritz, France, President Macron was waiting at the Hotel du Palais to ambush Trump for an unscheduled luncheon (pictured below):

This was just one example in a series of scripted weasel-moves played by Macron in an attempt to pontificate his importance for the international audience.  Another example from the same event was Macron inviting the Iranian foreign Minister to the G7 for sideline meetings unrelated to the topics being discussed in Biarritz.
In an effort to create leverage against the U.S. position, President Macron never discussed his Iranian invitation -in advance- with the U.S. delegation.  It did not go over well.
The EU, and specifically France, have a dependence on foreign energy sources as a result of their ridiculous climate policies and narrow thinking.  In essence the EU wants to do business and receive oil from Iran; however, U.S. sanctions against Iran forbid those business deals.  Ergo Macron attempted to inject influence and position his interests.
As stated, the ambush approach did not go well, but POTUS played it cool.

The 2020 Davos economic conference will be a little more important to watch this year (as it was in 2017) due to the completed U.S. Trade Agreements (S Korea, Japan, Mexico, Canada, and China) and the predicted focus for the Trump administration to pivot from Asia to the EU and U.K. for the next critical phase of the ‘America-First’ global trade reset.

As a result of the recent U.K. election, pending Brexit, a favorable $7.5 billion WTO ruling and USTR Lighthizer’s new $2.4 billion EU targeted tariff program, the administration has significant advantages going into a trade discussion with the EU in 2020.
Team USA has the world’s strongest economy, the largest market, legally bolstered tariff authority and a quiver full of powerful economic arrows.
Meanwhile Team EU has: (1) the UK leaving; (2) severe drops in German industrial manufacturing; (3) a shrinking French economy; (4) yellow-vests in the streets; and (5) demands for greater economic autonomy from many key member states.
Overlay Germany, France and Italy large economy challenges such as: their promise to meet NATO obligations – and their attachment to the strangling Paris Climate Treaty, and the EU’s collective economic position is precarious at best.

WHITE HOUSE – Today, President Donald J. Trump announced the Presidential Delegation that will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from January 20 to January 24, 2020.

The Honorable Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, will lead the delegation.
