Boy howdy, is this ever a good time to see something we have exposed for years.  The CTH library is filled with deep dive evidence of how this process specifically works.

First watch this important segment from Tucker Carlson:

♦ The Modern Third Dimension in American Economics – HERE
♦ How Foreign Governments Write Legislative Outcomes – HERE
♦ How President Trump Disrupted the Scheme – HERE
♦ How Wall Street Multinationals have Exported U.S. Wealth – HERE
♦ The “Fed” Can’t Figure out the New Economics – HERE
♦ The FED Begins to Question the Economic Assumptions – HERE
♦ Treasury Secretary Mnuchin begins creating a Parallel Banking System – HERE
♦ Proof “America-First” has disconnected Main Street from Wall Street – HERE

President Trump’s MAGAnomic and foreign policy agenda is jaw-dropping in scale, scope and consequence. There are multiple simultaneous aspects to each policy objective; they have been outlined for a long time even before the election victory in November ’16.

If you get too far into the weeds the larger picture can be lost. CTH objective is to continue pointing focus toward the larger horizon, and then at specific inflection points to dive into the topic and explain how each moment is connected to the larger strategy.

With increased attention on how U.S. politicians are purchased by Chinese influence it is worth revisiting a speech made by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo directly to an assembly of U.S. Governors who were on the 2020 CCP influence list.

Pompeo’s remarks were made to the National Governors Association (NGA) Feb 8, 2020; and there’s an interesting segment where Pompeo reveals his awareness of a list of U.S. governors compiled by China’s communist party; and their alignment with China’s interests. A transcript of the key excerpt from his speech is provided. WATCH:

[Transcript at 01:45] […] “Last year, I received an invitation to an event that promised to be, quote, “an occasion for exclusive deal-making.” It said, quote, “the opportunities for mutually beneficial economic development between China and our individual states [are] tremendous,” end of quote.”

Many people may not remember the February 2009 famous rant by CNBC financial pundit Rick Santelli that captured the heart of the Tea Party movement in response to massive announced bailouts of Wall Street institutions.  There are trillions at stake.

Wall Street pundit Rick Santelli was originally responding to the famous TARP,  Auto-bailouts, Porkulous, Omnibus, QE1, QE2 and ultimately the American Recovery and Restoration Act (ARRA ie. stimulus ‘shovel ready jobs‘), all of which were financial bailouts and payments for politically connected financial interests and unions. None of these programs assisted Main Street USA with a dime.

Fast forward twelve years later and here we are again. The same voices, with the same playbook, with the same insufferable political manipulation under the guise of COVID compliance mandates.  The ‘never let a crisis go to waste crowd‘; and the soon-to-follow massive state spending bailouts; for which COVID is the purposeful cover story.

COVID-19 has more purposefully weaponized political arrows than any previously used financial quiver. However, if you step-back and compare the agenda – there is a brutal amount of similarity… all of the exact same benefactors…. and Main Street collapses.

This is the progressive way to a Marxist economy.  We The People are collateral damage.

For well over a decade CTH has battled the outlook of the intellectual conservatives who pontificate from high-brow perches in/around their beltway interests. Indeed, the fallacy of their outlook is entirely why CTH exists as a gathering place for common sense, actual truth and discovery of political purposes, cutting through the guise of ‘The UniParty’.

That said, this tweet is representative of their current NRO-minded status:

Allow me to retort… from the common sense perspective.

The Biden campaign has not hidden their goals and aspirations. These are not stupid people.  They are scheming, conniving, ever-planning, ever-manipulating & Machiavellian members within the political system, lusting for power, influence and cocktail party affluence.

The Biden “agenda” per se’, has nothing whatsoever to do with a legislative roadmap. Their larger objective is to use the power of the executive to rule over the proles by working around the commonly known “representatives” of government.  If you doubt that approach remind yourself that 2009 Obamacare was opposed by 76% of the electorate.

The ISM manufacturing survey was released today showing exceptional economic news on the manufacturing front. New orders for manufactured goods jumped to their highest level in 17 years and were 3.4 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels. That data matches our earlier ground reports from across the nation.

The manufacturing sector inventories are low, that means this cycle of replenishment will continue for some time. Orders for customer goods continues to drive expansion, investment and operational increases in productivity.  That customer demand drives the need for increased hiring in manufacturing…. that demand drives wages… and so the middle-class is again on track for a fantastic rebound.  That’s MAGAnomics.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. manufacturing activity accelerated more than expected in October, with new orders jumping to their highest level in nearly 17 years amid a shift in spending toward goods like motor vehicles and food as the COVID-19 pandemic drags on.

However, the media once again cannot bring themselves to cheer on a stunning economic recovery. Instead take a look at how Reuters frames their narrative:

As most CTH readers are aware Peter Navarro is one person in a small group of of five close advisors on all things related to trade and President Trump’s America First economic policy. [Ross, Lighthizer, Mnuchin, Navarro and Kudlow]

In this episode of American Thought Leaders Jan Jekielek sits down with Peter Navarro, Assistant to President Trump and Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. The primary topic is the U.S-China conflict and by extension the ramification of Joe Biden being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party.

Because Peter Navarro deals with the White House strategy against the Chinese dragon, the national security threat within the Biden compromise is particularly unnerving.

For several months the Trump administration has been talking about a “V-Shaped recovery,” meaning the COVID-19 rebound would be as strong as the preceding quarter contraction.  Today the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released the third-quarter economic stats reflecting exactly that, a V-shaped recovery.

The 3rd quarter rebound in GDP growth was 33.1 percent, larger than the 2nd quarter contraction of 31.4 percent.  And keep in mind this is with a major part of the U.S. leisure and hospitality sector remaining severely impacted. [See Table 3, Line 20]

Despite several blue states attempting to stall their economic recovery, overall the economy is rebounding as expected.  Obviously the threat of COVID has been weaponized as an election strategy. It is against the interests of the administration’s political opposition to support a more honest, open and engaged economic recovery.

During an interview segment with Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson discussing the Chinese pay-offs to the Biden family, Ms. Bartiromo plays an audio soundbite from President Trump outlining the motive for DC to blame Russia not China.

As noted by President Trump the DC system cannot use China as the foil for their political attack narratives because Beijing has used financial schemes as an intelligence operation to compromise most of the more influential politicians.   The Chinese payments to Joe Biden and family are only one example; there are likely dozens of high-powered DC politicians who have taken bribes from the Chinese Communist Party; thus DC has willfully created a corrupt system of mutually assured destruction… ergo they must ignore.

.

Once you realize that Beijing has paid-off top level DC politicians for influence operations, you are well positioned to think about how much the Chinese Communist Party has paid to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Tom Donohue inc etc.  Once that light-bulb goes off you start to rethink the background motives for the number one lobbyist in Washington DC… and then suddenly a lot of things make a lot more sense.

Earlier today those behind the Biden campaign dropped all pretense, openly having their candidate state publicly his intention to control the lives of all Americans using the authority of a weaponized federal government to advance national COVID-19 regulations.

As you watch this video from Biden’s campaign today it is important to remember state government officials have already moved to define “essential businesses” and “essential workers” during the forced shut-downs.  That is going to become a bigger issue downstream; however, for now just watch closely what Joe Biden is saying here:

.

The Dept of Transportation would be the agency enforcing a national interstate transit mask requirement. However, don’t focus on the DoT part of what he is saying… that’s only one creek… Instead focus on the downstream use of all federal regulatory agencies and how they align within a Federal COVID compliance network… that’s the river.

Think about the Dept of Agriculture, the Dept. of Labor, the Dept of Education, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and how they would join with the DoT to create the aggregate raging river of regulation.

Here’s what I mean:

The September retail sales show it’s a super-V recovery folks.  According to Census Retail data released today [LINK HERE] – [PDF HERE] September retail sales jumped 1.9 percent, that result is triple what forecasters and economists had projected.  However, the data is even better.  Need more winnamins !

A September 2020 comparison to September 2019 shows last month’s retail sales jumped a whopping 5.4 percent year-over-year.  That means last month saw consumer spending 5.4% higher than consumer spending before COVID-19 hit the U.S. economy. Keep in mind two-thirds of U.S. GDP is driven by retail sales and consumer spending.

Reuters is absolutely apoplectic with disappointment because their forecasters were only looking for 0.7 percent growth, and the 1.9 percent result is almost triple their expectations.  Despite missing the forecast, Reuters doubles-down on a “dark cloud” narrative and sells a doomsayer message because the globalists/multinationals are sad.

(Reuters) […] Retail sales jumped 1.9% last month as consumers bought motor vehicles and clothing, dined out and splashed out on hobbies. That followed an unrevised 0.6% increase in August.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales would rise 0.7% in September.
