The White House would never credit Donald Trump with the vaccine rollout unless there was something negative about the vaccine that is going to hit the newswires; that is a no-brainer.

That baseline is why CTH said two months ago to watch for the moment when the White House credits Trump with the vaccine, because that’s the moment when: (1) the vaccine was going to be identified as dangerous; and/or (2) reports would show the vaccine did not work.

Today the White House credited President Trump with the vaccine:

….And right on cue, the late-evening reporting indicates that tomorrow the CDC will announce the vaccine doesn’t work (against the Delta variant).   Hence, the need for masks, social distancing and/or possibly lockdowns 2.0.   Reminder, when the Intelligence Branch needs to get the public relations engaged, they use the New York Times.

[New York Times] – […] New research showed that vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant carry tremendous amounts of the virus in the nose and throat, she said in an email responding to questions from The New York Times.

The finding contradicts what scientists had observed in vaccinated people infected with previous versions of the virus, who mostly seemed incapable of infecting others.

That conclusion dealt Americans a heavy blow: People with so-called breakthrough infections — cases that occur despite full vaccination — of the Delta variant may be just as contagious as unvaccinated people, even if they have no symptoms. (link)

Bottom line of this narrative shift… vaccinations don’t work. Everything goes back to square one. Blame Trump, not us.

Earlier today, the installed occupant of the White House announced that all federal workers will be required to undergo vaccinations against COVID-19 or subject themselves to weekly tests to prove their health status.  Going a step further, the administration announced all private contractors for the federal government will be held to the same standard as federal employees. [Video Link]

“Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status.  Anyone who does not attest, or is not vaccinated, will be required to mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they have acquired COVID, socially distance, and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.

Likewise, today, I am directing my administration to take steps to apply similar standards to all federal contractors. If you want to do business with the federal government get your workers vaccinated.”

Joe Biden was visibly unsettled -straining to keep his focus in place- as he read from the carefully prepared script on the teleprompter.  During the questioning following the prepared comments Biden said, “If in fact you are unvaccinated, you present a problem to yourself, to your family and to those with whom you work”.  These comments highlight his intent to apply as much federal pressure as possible to force vaccinations.

When asked about why not just federally mandate forced vaccinations of Americans, Joe Biden said the DOJ was still looking into the legality of whether or not that is possible.  When asked about the federal government requiring proof of vaccination, Biden said he anticipates more businesses requiring vaccinations, and proof of vaccination.

The people of Pennsylvania showed up to greet the installed occupant of the White House, Joe Biden, upon his arrival in Pennsylvania – which he calls his home state.  The illegitimate office holder was scheduled to speak at Mack Truck Plant in Macungie, Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately for those who are attempting to manage the White House, the jeers, boos and middle finger salutes from the crowd was not exactly what they were looking for.  WATCH:

.

Again I repeat, there is not a single visible data-point, outside of MSM narrative engineering, that would indicate support -of any significant scale- for the installed current occupant of the Oval Office.

Few American people watch his speeches. Even fewer people attend his events; and almost all quantifiable engagement -on every platform- reflects exactly the opposite of what the media and big tech narrative engineers keep trying to sell.  The propaganda is remarkable when contrast against the reality.

When President Trump was in office, the media ran a daily narrative about the number of people within the orbit of the White House who contracted COVID-19.  Today the installed spokesperson for the regime, Jennifer Psaki, was asked about the number of vaccinated White House staff who test positive for the virus.  Psaki refused to answer the question saying: “Why do you need that information?”

Can you imagine the backlash if President Trump’s spokesperson gave that answer?

What do you call it when you combine cringe with awkward discomfort?   Whatever it is, this is full of it.

The White House coordinated with CNN to put Joe Biden on stage so that the administration could convey a message of importance to CNN viewers.   The event was so terribly horrible it’s doubtful the person in the White House is still employed.  EXAMPLE WATCH:

[TRANSCRIPT] …”And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where, you, er, um, are why can’t the, um, the experts say we know that this virus is in fact, er, er, um, uh, its this its going to be or, excuse me, we, we, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporary, temporarily approved, but permanently approved.”

Also, journalist Jennifer Epstein (Bloomberg News) tweeted out a picture from the camera position, to give her followers an idea of the audience.  Suffice to say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Consider this actual example of the White House fraud using the wage rate data.

On Friday the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said: “Median weekly earnings of the nation’s 113.6 million full-time wage and salary workers were $990 in the second quarter of 2021 (not seasonally adjusted), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This was 1.2 percent lower than a year earlier.” (Data)

On Monday the White House says: “Wages are up.”  WATCH:

.

The reality is when you combine 1.2% decrease in earned wages with a 5.4% inflation rate, real wages are down 7.6% from last year. {Go Deep}

The Biden regime is becoming increasingly unstable as they attempt to keep control over the American people.   During a terse exchange today, spokesperson Jen Psaki attempts to justify the White House surveillance of American speech saying the Facebook platform users should be “more concerned” with people dying from COVID than having their community speech monitored by the federal government.

When questioned about the U.S. Federal Government now openly admitting Big Brother is watching you, the regime defender responds: “They are more concerned about that, than people dying across the country because of a pandemic where misinformation is traveling on social media platforms?” Continuing with, “That feels unlikely to me, if you have the data to back that up I’m happy to discuss it.”

Fox News journalist Peter Ducey asked the regime to name the 12 people on Facebook the White House has identified as problematic for the interests of the state; however, the spokesperson refused to name them, obviously and transparently fearing a lawsuit.

The legal authority for the White House to conduct social media surveillance, and then identify the speech of a dozen Americans they dislike; and then request Big Tech to target those voices, is a brutally obvious first amendment issue.  WATCH:

Do not overlook the panic in the position of Psaki.  Due to the echo-chambering effect of discussions only with fellow travelers in media, the regime has not appropriately considered the ramifications of their open admissions.  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and the White House is increasingly defensive.

CTH has said repeatedly the road to serfdom is cemented with the catch-phrase “a service driven economy.”  The June jobs report from the Bureau of Labor statistics [BLS LINK]  highlights the JoeBama economic policy exactly that way.

Approximately 850,000 jobs were gained in June; however, simultaneously the number of long-term unemployed increased by 233,000 to the current state of four million.

While we should expect to see the leisure and hospitality industries as well as education rebounding from the various COVID-19 shutdowns, and indeed they did ( +343,000 and +155,000 respectively), manufacturing was flat (+11,000), and construction was down -7,000.  The details inside the data are not as great as the top-line would presume.

CTH looks at alternative data connected to the overall economy; empirical data and sector specific trends inside industry.  The biggest domestic issue is inflation, stunningly large increases in prices for fast-turn consumer goods like food and fuel.  Inflation is one of the primary reasons we have stated home values and home sales have peaked on a MACRO level despite the massive amount of real estate investment purchasing underway by financial institutions.

When we look at durable good production, we focus on the primary drivers of higher cost middle-class or working class products.  Seeing construction jobs decline by 7,000 at the same time real-estate values are increasing only points to the problem of working class not being able to afford new home purchases.  In the real estate sector this is unsustainable; it is simply a matter of math, income stability and wages.

CTH says it often because it is critical to understanding the motives: “When the institutions need a public relations team to get out in front of sunlight upon their corrupt activity they follow a consistent pattern.  (1) The FBI leaks to the New York Times and Politico; (2) The CIA leaks to The Washington Post; and (3) The State Dept leaks to CNN.”  This pattern has been consistent for well over a decade.

As a result it does not come as a surprise to see the Biden State Department turn to their stenographers at CNN when they are worried the sunlight is getting too intense.

In this example it is because the “Wuhan Lab Leak Theory” is no longer a theory, and the origin of the COVID virus is again under intense scrutiny.  As the walls close in, the corrupt network within the Dept. of State (DoS) attempt to get in front of their duplicity.

Washington (CNN) – “President Joe Biden’s team shut down a closely-held State Department effort launched late in the Trump administration to prove the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab over concerns about the quality of its work, according to three sources familiar with the decision.

The existence of the State Department inquiry and its termination this spring by the Biden administration — neither of which has been previously reported — comes to light amid renewed interest in whether the virus could have leaked out of a Wuhan lab with links to the Chinese military. The Biden administration is also facing scrutiny of its own efforts to determine if the Chinese government was responsible for the virus.
