Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

COVID Data, Facts Not Fear

Twitter user Jason Bailey [LINK HERE] has done a deep dive into the latest CDC data on SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).   There is obviously a lot of noise amid the competing COVID narratives, as politicians and media are intent on weaponizing the fear for maximum political value.  Baily provides the links and just looks at the raw data.

CDC COVID Data Here – and Spreadsheets in pdf format ARE HERE

 

We know that much of the raw data underlying the CDC statistics are inflated by the way the data is collected and manipulated by the hospitals and healthcare system.  However, that said, if we just accept the raw CDC data and evaluate what they are collecting as a way to estimate the risks….here’s the outcome.

♦ Facts as of 9/4/21:

Kroger CFO Notes More and Faster Food Inflation Coming in Next Several Months

This is not a surprise data-point for readers here.  However, it is good to see honest statements from corporate executives on what to expect with food inflation.

As noted by Kroger Chief Financial Officer Gary Millerchip in a call with financial media, we can expect to see even more rapid inflation in food prices overall in the next several months:

MSM – Cincinnati-based Kroger Co., which had $132 billion in sales last year, says inflation is running hotter than management previously anticipated and that expectations are now for prices to rise 2% to 3% over the second half of this year.

Kroger is “passing along higher cost to the customer where it makes sense to do so,” said CFO Gary Millerchip on the company’s second-quarter earnings call on Friday. (read more)

The reason for more inflation is not too difficult to understand.  Fresh foods show fast price increases immediately because they have almost no pre-existing inventory.  Fresh foods go from field to fork the fastest, and price increases show up immediately.  The same applies to restaurants.

However, processed foods and shelf stable foods have a deeper inventory, the turns on that inventory take longer, and as a consequence, it takes longer for the price increases to show up.  Millerchip is simply saying the total supply chain price increases are going to hit, and they are going to hit even harder than the last few months, as the new processed inventory carries a higher cost.

Lara Logan Notes the OSHA Shift in Record Keeping that Preceded Joe Biden’s Use of The Agency for Vaccine Enforcement

Lara Logan notes how Joe Biden is using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as the compliance mechanism to enforce mandatory COVID vaccination as a requirement for continued employment; and contrasts Biden’s announcement against the earlier press release from OSHA in May of this year.  We wrote about it HERE.

.

May 22, 2021 – “An interesting about-face from the Dept of Labor and OSHA. Previously OSHA stated that any employer who required vaccinations must report adverse reactions as workplace injuries. However, OSHA is now saying they will not “enforce” that record-keeping requirement until May of 2022.”

Sunday Talks, Hillary’s Favorite CIA Spook Admits The Taliban is al-Qaeda

CTH outlines the connections, motives and intents behind the people in our government and the bastardized processes that are underway.  It is a labor of love to explain these inter-connected manipulations and provide clarity.  We do it because The Truth Has No Agenda, and once you see the strings on the marionettes,  you can never unsee them.

Before we get to this video interview [you only need to watch the first 90 seconds], it is important to remember the accurate and historic context for what is taking place.  That is how you see the dots connect.

When it comes to U.S. Foreign Policy – remember, there are fundamentally two factions within the United States government that are constantly creating havoc.  Those factions are represented in the Presidential Seal.  The arrows representing the military (Dept. of Defense) and the olive branch representing the Dept of State and Intelligence apparatus.  They work together creating the mess, but when SHTF they attempt to blame the other team.  In the Afghanistan mess you are seeing the battle between the two factions and their media conscripts.

♦ Team-1, White House, Pentagon and NatSec Council (Alphabet media and Fox News support).  ♦ Team-2, State Dept., CIA and Intelligence Community – The Intelligence Branch of Government – (CNN, CNNi, Washington Post, New York Times, Politico support).   Team-2 has been winning the blame game over Afghanistan.  Mike Morell is supporting Team Two’s effort.

Now watch the first 90 seconds of this interview with former Acting Director the CIA, Mike Morell.  Notice that he is suddenly breaking script from the official White House narrative and admitting publicly the Taliban is al-Qaeda.  WATCH:

.

Finally someone asks about Bin Laden’s #2 guy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.  CTH has been asking about this guy for months, since the Afghan mess blew up.  Some of you have noted there is a similarity between the Afghan outcome and the Libya/Egypt fiasco that led to the Benghazi attack.  You are correct.

September 12th – 2021 Presidential Politics – Resistance Day 236

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

The Benghazi Brief, Nine Year Anniversary of September 11th Attack in Benghazi Libya

To honor the memory of those lost on September 11th and 12th 2012:

The Benghazi Brief

The “Benghazi Brief” remains the most controversial research report we have produced. The brief contains over two years of research and hundreds of very specific citations supporting it.  Seven years after it was originally written in 2014, nothing within the brief has ever been identified as inaccurate.

 

We know from the Bret Baier interview with Hillary Clinton that she was physically located at her 7th floor office in Washington DC on the night of the attack 9/11/12.

Unfortunately, we also know during the November 2012 Thanksgiving holiday a mysterious fire took place in that building. Well, actually directly above her exact office – cause undetermined.

A “fire” which preceded an unfortunate slip and fall for the Secretary, resulting in a concussion, which led to the discovery of a blood clot, that ultimately delayed her congressional testimony before a Senate Hearing into the events of the night in question.

We know the Libyan uprising began on February 10th of 2011, and we also know that sometime around the end of February 2011 President Obama signed a presidential directive authorizing the State Dept and CIA to begin a covert operation to arm the Libyan “rebels”.

The Ethics of Forced Employment Vaccination by Dr. Julie Ponesse

Canadian professor Dr. Julie Ponesse is an expert in ethics who has been eloquently teaching college students for twenty years.  Her story is one story, a profound story; and it is our story.

It is the story of a world gone mad, and the people within it – strong enough to recognize the brutal insanity.

This is the professor I want teaching my grandchildren.  This is the teacher they deserve….

I despise those in power of every stripe who have put our world into this place of darkness. A place devoid of common intellectual sense, created by weakness, and driven by ideological minds with no regard for freedom, humanity or human purpose.  Participation in evil enterprise it itself evil.  My tribe will not participate.  We stand defiant and resolute.

..”In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Welcome to the revolution.

Take a Look At This Jaw-Dropping Gibberish From Autocratic Biden Today, Days After Dictating Terms of Employment to the Nation Biden Decries Autocracy

I don’t usually draw too much attention to Gibberish Joe, because most of the time what he espouses comes from the brain trust of someone else; and I respect the time of people here and do not want to subject them to the insane cognitive mush coming from a guy who is genuinely a low-brow doofus.   However, THAT SAID, you just gotta take a listen to this one.

If this example isn’t evidence that Biden reads stuff given to him by others; and has absolutely no cognitive or intellectual comprehension of what the fundamental meaning is behind the words;  I honestly don’t know what else I could provide to convince you.

In this semi-coherent 90 second soundbite; the content of which flies over the head of the provider, Politico; Joe Biden is telling the media about his conversations with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Biden says that both Xi and Putin are “autocrats” who dictate to the citizens of their nations, and in conversation with them – those leaders have questioned the viability of ‘western democracy‘ in an era where polarization of the electorate is so extreme.   Biden is calling them “autocrats” and trying to defend “democracy”…. ok, you with me? Now, WATCH:

These actual statements are being muttered by the same guy who just 36 hours earlier told the entire American population that he “has lost patience” with half the nation, and as an outcome, is going to FORCE a mandatory injection (COVID “vaccine”) into the arms of every citizen who wants to work in the United States.

Biden is literally decrying “autocratic governance” today, while being the biggest autocratic executive this nation has ever seen.

And not a single friggin’ journalist could see this – and point it out immediately in their gaggle?  Or challenge him to reconcile those statements?   Seriously?  This is nuts !

Good grief, someone -effen anyone- get me a press credential!

But the issues are bigger. The more important issue is right there.
