Was the Origin of COVID from a Canadian Lab?

 

Posted Aug 27, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Perhaps you will recall the early claims that there was a link between the lab in Canada and Wuhan, which were immediately called a conspiracy theory so they do not have to answer them. The samples of the first version of COVID match what was created in the National Microbiology Laboratory in Canada. Also buried deep in the story is that the scientist Dr. Frank Plummer was the director of Canada’s National Microbiology Lab, to whom the Gates Foundation handed a grant of $8.3 million. He died in Kenya weeks after the official start of the 2019 coronavirus outbreak on February 4, 2020, which happened weeks after a Gates Foundation simulation of a coronavirus outbreak.

As the story goes, Frank Plummer was the one who acquired the SARS coronavirus sample from an alleged Saudi patient at the NML Winnipeg Lab from Ron Fouchier, who was a leading virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He was said to have been sent the virus by Egyptian virologist Dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki who isolated and identified a previously unknown type of coronavirus from the Saudi patient’s lungs. Allegedly, Fouchier sequenced the virus from that sample sent by Zaki. This was the coronavirus sample that arrived at Canada’s NML Winnipeg facility on May 4, 2013. It was said that Frank Plummer is the one who received the sample. The Canadian lab grew and stocked the virus and used it to assess diagnostic tests being used in Canada. Winnipeg scientists worked to see which animal species could be infected with the new virus.

While the allegation has been that the National Microbiology Laboratory was targeted by Chinese agents in what could be termed as biological espionage, the claim that the virus was stolen from the Canadian lab by a Chinese biowarfare agent Xiangguo Qiu and her colleagues have sought to pin the blame on China. If this was the source that was smuggled to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the conspiracy claim that it was the Chinese who weaponized and leaked the virus does not jive with the sources I have who knew in advance that the virus was coming, all of which had nothing to do with a deliberate act by China.

Supposedly Alexander Kagansky, a Russian working on the virus, was allegedly stabbed and thrown from the window of his 14th floor flat. In Pennsylvania, Professor Bing Liu of the University of Pittsburgh was on the verge of a breakthrough in a scientific understanding of the new coronavirus but was shot dead. Then a World Health Organization (WHO) driver carrying coronavirus samples was shot dead in Myanmar. The WHO vehicle was carrying coronavirus test samples when it came under attack. The WHO confirmed that Pyae Sone Win Maung died of his injuries from the attack. Reuters reported that the vehicle had come under gunfire. Why attack a van carrying COVID samples?

Then there is the mysterious co-incidental death of all four African heads of state who spoke out against the COVID lockdowns and experimental vaccines. Very strange for so many people to be dying who opposed or perhaps had evidence against the narrative. Naturally, it is always a conspiracy theory, so the mainstream press need not waste its time to investigate anything.

Emails that have emerged show that a statement in The Lancet authored by 27 prominent public health scientists condemning “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin” was organized by employees of EcoHealth Alliance, which is a non-profit group that just so happened to have received millions of dollars of US taxpayer funding to genetically manipulate coronaviruses with scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Talk about conflicts of interest! Peter Daszak is the President of EcoHealth Alliance, and he sent nearly $600,000 to Wuhan, which is alleged to have been the source.

Ron Fouchier has admitted to creating killer viruses at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam to see what would happen if the H5N1 bird flu virus mutated and had the ability to spread in mammals. His involvement in COVID and Frank Plummer has also been avoided in any investigation. Why these people want to create such dangerous viruses to see what MIGHT happen in the real world is like the story of Dr. Frankenstein — they want to see if they could replace God in creation.

Interestingly, the earliest samples from early Wuhan COVID-19 patients show the presence of genetically modified henipah virus, which is one of the two types of viruses sent to China from the Canadian laboratory that was run by the conveniently now-dead Frank Plummer. They cannot swear that this virus discovered in the Chinese samples comes from the Canadian lab back in late March 2019. I maintain that this was a deliberate leak and it WAS NOT by the Chinese. If China wanted to unleash a biological weapon, they could easily target a specific gene sequence that would eliminate even a specific ethnic group. This is a standard coronavirus that resides in animals and will NEVER be eliminated. It is a respiratory virus and that will kill similar people who would have died because of the flu.

Therefore, there was NO strategic advantage to China release such a virus. They would never have anticipated the insane lockdown and deliberate intentional destruction of the Western economy. It was the Great reset which was a slogan already prepared and talked about in January 2019 at Davos. It was March 2019 when this COVID agenda began. The Green Climate Fund of the United Nations on April 10, 2020, had sprung into immediate action telling the world to use COVID to redesign the world:

While COVID-19 is causing untold suffering, the international response to this unprecedented health crisis in modern times offers an opportunity to direct finances towards bolstering climate action. GCF will continue to make critical investments in climate-resilient water resource management, health care facilities, agriculture and livelihoods – all of which are essential to subduing and overcoming the pandemic. Similarly, we will step up our efforts to catalyse green investment to relaunch economies on low-emission, climate-resilient trajectories. 

China has come out and threatened retaliation over blaming them for this COVID. All you have to do is follow the money trail and this leads to the World Economic Forum, United Nations, and the Gates Foundation. They all have gained substantially from COVID — not the Chinese. Because China has rejected the Great Reset and handing its sovereignty to Schwab’s United Nations proxy, it appears that they are deliberately trying to create war (1) to reduce the populations, and (2) they actually think that they can compel Russia and China to surrender to this global dictatorship.

The fact that mainstream media is behind this effort should be no surprise. It was not just the New York Times who was the champion of Stalin and believed that Communism was the answer to the Great Depression back in the 1930s, but going back further and the Spanish-American war was deliberately created by the press to simply sell more papers.

Marxists and Taliban are NEVER tolerant of others

 The Biden Administration is a Joke

Posted Aug 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Biden Administration is a complete disaster. As I have said, the Deep State got everything they ever dreamed of — the freedom to do as they like with no president in charge. But there is no position within the Deep State to which any of these agencies need to answer. Therein lies the problem.

The Taliban are religious fanatics. They will NEVER live in harmony with other religions because even on the surface, they do not allow women to be educated, which means no other religious belief will ever be tolerated. This is not much different from the Marxists. They too do not believe in capitalism and demand to regulate what everyone else does. Like the Taliban, the Marxists also cannot sleep at night, as they stay up worrying that someone else may not be doing what they approve. Both groups are NEVER tolerant of others because they see their own world as threatened by anyone who does not comply. Hence, the Marxists killed probably 200+ million during the Communist revolutions in Russia and China, and they will kill many more this time around thanks to the World Economic Forum that is pushing the same agenda with nice words and empty promises. The Taliban has begun their genocide and will exterminate all who refuse to adopt their view of religion. Their genocide has begun.

The heart-breaking images from Afghanistan show that America does NOT keep its promises. Here is a desperate plea to save their child’s life as a parent hands their infant to a soldier in hopes that they will have a better life.

Anyone who has met Biden can see he is far from being a brilliant leader. There is no light on behind those eyes. Even Osama bin Laden knew that about Biden. Bin Laden previously warned Al Qaeda NOT to target Joe Biden, as the NY Post reports, because he believed that his inheriting the presidency if something were to happen to Barack Obama would “lead the US into a crisis,” a resurfaced letter shows. Of all the people I know, all have a similar opinion that Biden is not a leader and that is not said on a partisan basis. Even Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin openly contradicted Biden within 30 minutes, telling Congress that Americans were beaten by the Taliban.

USA Today reported that the gates at the airport in Kabul were closed. The US Embassy in Kabul warned Americans on Saturday not to travel to the airport without “individual instructions from a US government representative,” because of potential security threats outside the gates. Britain is stunned by Biden’s stupid and “hasty” withdrawal from Afghanistan that has left perhaps more than 20,000 Americans and foreigners trapped in a nation spiraling into civil war. First, Biden said it was 10,000 Americans, which was then revised to 15,000. The sheer incompetency of Biden’s decision will go down in history as the worst probably of any president since 1792. Yes, two-thirds of Americans wanted out of the war — but not like this. Biden simply looked at the poll and assumed he would be cheered. He told the nation: “I stand squarely behind my decision.” He tried to claim it was Trump’s decision, but Biden has reversed everything Trump decided he could get his hands on. Trump would never have left the country in such a mess with over 20,000 people left behind.

As the news kept getting worse, Biden fled Washington, taking no questions, and ran off to Camp David in hiding. Kamala Harris has remained silent, and sources in Washington are actually talking about impeaching Biden and Harris, but then it would fall to Pelosi. The pessimism in DC is like cancer growing, eating the support for the Biden Administration from within. It is becoming painfully obvious that Biden is incapable of making rational decisions. That is grounds for impeachment. Nobody seems to know what to do from here. Osama bin Laden was correct — Biden would lead the country into chaos.

It would be nice if we could write the history of the United States and just end it with Trump’s loss. It is kind of like turning off the TV so the kids don’t watch Old Yeller die in the end. Indeed, even stories with happy endings are sad because they end. Perhaps we have reached that point in history.

Afghanistan & the Incompetence of the West

 

Posted Aug 19, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Now that the Afghan government has fallen, I believe I am free to talk about what I do know. I met with the government on neutral ground in Thailand. I was invited to give lectures there but just never found the time to make that trip. As I have said before, most governments have heard of Socrates. After all, it has been putting out economic and geopolitical forecasts since 1977. From my discussions with them in Thailand, what I can say is that the Taliban are largely self-funded, yet have been warmly protected by Pakistan which is the ONLY nuclear nation in that region. Pakistan has supported the Taliban, not for religious agreement, but because of their enemy, the Afghans, be friends with Pakistan’s enemy India. In that sense, there is a deep-seated religious conflict that goes back to the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

The peak in our model on the region took place in 2019 when any hope of some sort of peace treaty with the Taliban collapsed. Military operations between Afghan and US government forces and the Taliban then intensified in 2019 resulting in more than 8,000 civilian casualties. That was precisely on target being 72 years from 1947 which was the real period of the rise in militant Islam. A standard 2-year reaction was in play which has brought us to this point in 2021. But this is the start of a 13-year cycle of rising tensions which will also peak in 2032.

Pakistan is aligned with China and the idea has been that China will invest in Afghanistan and that may help to satisfy the Taliban. But that is perhaps wishful thinking. Religiously, they are more akin to Iran. Nevertheless, the Taliban has been a movement of religious students (talib) from the Pashtun areas of eastern and southern Afghanistan. They were actually educated in traditional Islamic schools in Pakistan. Keep in mind that Pakistan can be very authoritarian. Pakistan is blocking cell phones to compel people to be vaccinated.

The Taliban control the largest opium production in the world and have been the #1 exporter. This has been their primary source of funding. Back in 2000, they were against drugs. But they needed the support of the farmers and flipped their ethical view that they were exporting opium to the enemy so that made it ethical.

Some believe that they were also bribing some public officials to look the other way. For most of the last 20 years, the Taliban have been in the drug trade. However, that has not been their own source of funds. They also get money from mining, real estate, and unnamed regional benefactors who lead back to Iran. Nevertheless, the Taliban is a well-funded organization, and they are primarily a self-sustaining group that can be sustained domestically. They have imposed their own tax regime known as ‘ushr,’ which is a 10% tax on income and 2.5% wealth tax.

Believe it or not, the Taliban have stolen weapons that were given to the army and police forces by the United States. Some believe they bribed people for that access. They have stormed the government offices and arrested officials and killed many. They have stormed the prisons, releasing everyone, and seized all the American weapons provided to the government. However, sources were also saying that the Taliban were also getting weapons “donated” to them from Iran with its proxy war against the United States. Additionally, there were claims that weapons were also being smuggled in from Russia via Tajikistan.

Biden’s performance and the inability of the Biden Administration to manage a bubblegum machine is what our models have been warning. The West has used COVID to try to change the economy, but this Great Reset actually destroying jobs and small businesses (middle class) while favoring the big elite companies, which is why Big Tech supports the Great Reset. The problem with this stupid move has been that this is precisely what you DO NOT do. The US Civil War was won by the north because it was the industrial backbone. The south was getting funding from adversaries, but they were predominantly just agrarian. The victor belongs to the stronger economy.

Rome fell during the 3rd century BECAUSE its economy was weakened. Once the emperor Valerian I (253-260 AD) was captured by the Persians in 260 AD, this signaled to all the Barbarian tribes in the north that Rome was vulnerable. They began an assault that even forced Rome to build a defensive wall around the city when Aurelian (270-275 AD) came to power in 270 AD. Within just 10 years of Valerian’s capture, Rome itself was vulnerable to the invasion of Germanic tribes.

Anyone who has been to Rome will see the spectacular Aurelian Wall that still stands to this day. It is a reminder of what happens when an empire becomes weak from within. That is when it is time to invade. You would think that this should be a lesson taught to world leaders. Oh, I forgot. There are no classes on how to be a world leader. There are no professional requirements to run a country. That is our real problem.

The capture of Valerian in 260 AD also led to the separatist movement where Britain, Gaul (France), and Spain broke from the Roman Empire and began the Gallic Empire with their own Emperor Postumus. Here is a silver coin of Postumus and we can see the propaganda. The reverse clearly read that he is the restorer of Gaul. He would not have issued such a coin and the Western part of Europe would not have split from Rome unless they saw that Rome was incapable of defending them or managing anything.

 

History WARNS that this drive to change the economy has weakened the economies of the West and has left Europe especially defenseless. NATO has become a joke. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has succeeded Ursula von der Leyen, who was elected as the new head of the European Commission. So Ursula von der Leyen, who was also a board member of the World Economic Forum, was in charge of the defense of Germany and now she is the head of the EU. She has no qualifications for either position. The West is all about diversity and symbolize — not qualification.

Believe it or not, this was the first time that Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, now the German Minister of Defence since July 2019,  held a position in the federal government. She has no military background any more than Leyen did. Even in the Biden Administration, Lloyd James Austin III, who is an American retired United States Army four-star general, was appointed as the 28th United States secretary of defense. Not even Biden put a non-military person in that position. In Europe, it is more important to have diversity rather than experience.

I finished a report on the three primary hot spots that are most likely to see the rise of what can erupt and develop into World War III. The obvious strategy is for China and Russia to combine and launch a concerted effort to take their objectives. It would be a lightning strike with China taking Taiwan, and Russia could expand its power in Europe

The CDC & Vaccine Companies in Bed with Facebook?

Posted Aug 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Zuckerberg is a very dangerous adolescent who has clearly not grown up. Personally, I would never own a single share of Facebook when its management is just so questionable. US Congressman Thomas Massie has come out stating in a series of tweets to say that Facebook’s independent fact-checkers are removing what they call “vaccine misinformation.” These people are funded by Johnson & Johnson, manufacturers of one of the vaccines. Massie said:

“Who pays the paycheques of the fact checkers? The vaccine fact-checkers at factcheck.org, who claim to be independent, are funded by an organisation that holds over $1.8 Billion of stocks in a vaccine company, and is run by a former director of the CDC”

Fact-checkers responded claiming that “As you know, we disclose our funding sources here: www.factcheck.org“

They cleverly used legal jargon to deny the allegation but admitted that they are indeed funded by Johnson & Johnson’s parent organization. They said: “The views expressed by factcheck.org do not necessarily reflect the views of the foundation.“

The fact is that Factcheck.org is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, whose current CEO is Richard Besser, who just so happens to be the former head of the CDC. The foundation holds almost $2 billion in shares for Johnson & Johnson, one of the very pharmaceutical companies manufacturing COVID vaccines.

This is outright consumer fraud that anyone else would be thrown in prison for doing. Zuckerberg is beyond walking on water, he can float in the air above it. I believe the Deep State worked against Trump at every stage of the election to ensure he would not just lose the election, but he would never exercise power. Therefore, he should not have had to go after BigTech and even the un-American propaganda machine — CNN — which has done more to undermine the United States than anyone, as its broadcasts are watched around the world.

Now the Epoch Times reports that Facebook is covertly working with the CDC. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, the CDC was forced to release documents that shocked many and prove that Facebook’s claims to censor people pretending they are not the government is a lie. They have lost ALL IMMUNITY and can now be outright sued for violating everyone’s civil rights.

Has Zuckerberg proven that he is not really qualified to run a company of this size? The rise in the share value had nothing to do with his management skills. But the pending decline has everything to do with his unqualified decision-making. He may think he is a demigod and all-powerful, but sometimes the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Facebook may not exist after 2035.

The TWO primary countries they want to totally suppress are Australia and Brazil

 

Resistance is Not Futile – Does Our Entire Way of Life Depends on It?

Posted Aug 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I find it amazing how stupid people can be. Those claiming if everyone just got vaccinated, we would all go back to normal. I know there were Jews in Germany who left early looking at the trend that was emerging and made it to the United States. They told me people were ridiculing them when they left saying it would all blow over and go back to normal. These types of people do not look at what is going on in any depth. They take whatever is said at face value and do not look at motives or connect the dots.

In Australia, the number of people is rising up.  The police in Australia are still violating human rights and supporting the decline and fall of Australia as it descends into tyranny. The protest has erupted again in Melbourne and until the police stop enforcing orders that are inconsistent with international law, there is no hope for Australia. It continues to slide toward an economic apocalypse. They are 110% on board with the Great Reset and those behind the curtain view that if they can end mining and resources in Australia, they will save the planet and bring about the Great Reset.

The TWO primary countries they want to totally suppress are Australia and Brazil.

The Threat of an Ice Age is Real

 

Posted Aug 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Most people have NEVER heard of the Beaufort Gyre, a massive wind-driven current in the Arctic Ocean that actually has far more influence over sea ice than anything we can throw into the atmosphere. The Beaufort Gyre has been regulating climate and sea ice formation for millennia. Recently, however, something has changed; it is not something that would create global warming but threatens a new Ice Age.

There is a normal cycle that appears to be about 5.4 years where it reverses direction and spins counter-clockwise, expelling ice and freshwater into the eastern Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic. The 5.4-year cycle is interesting for it is two pi cycle intervals of 8.6. The immediate cycle has suddenly expanded to two 8.6-year intervals, bringing it to 17.2 years as we head into 2022.

What you must understand is that this Beaufort Gyre now holds as much freshwater as all of the Great Lakes combined. Why is that important? Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees F at which freshwater freezes. The difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of saltwater is bigger than the difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of fresh water. This makes the ice with salt on it melt faster, which is why we salt the roads in an ice storm.

Now, think of the Beaufort Gyre as a carousel of ice and freshwater. Because it is now spinning both faster and in its usual clockwise direction, it has been collecting more and more freshwater from the three main sources:

1. Melting sea ice
2. Runoff from the Arctic Ocean from Russian and North American rivers
3. Lower saltwater coming in from the Bering Sea

Indeed, Yale has warned that this current could “Cool the Climate in Europe,” which is precisely what we are witnessing. Cyclically, the Beaufort Gyre will reverse direction, and when it does the clear and present danger will be the natural expulsion of a massive amount of icy fresh water into the North Atlantic. Remember now, freshwater freezes faster than saltwater.

This is not a theory. We have previous records of reversals in this cycle of the Beaufort Gyre from the 1960s and 1970s, where there was a surge of fresh Arctic water released into the North Atlantic that resulted in the water freezing. There has been a lot of work done on this subject, which, of course, is ignored by the climate change agenda that only seeks to blame human activity. Nevertheless, AAAS, of which I am a member, states plainly:

“Arctic sea ice affects climate on seasonal to decadal time scales, and models suggest that sea ice is essential for longer anomalies such as the Little Ice Age.” 

Socrates has been given just about every possible database I could find over the past 50 years. Because of the extended 17.2-year cycle in the Beaufort Gyre, the risk that a larger than normal expulsion of freshwater into the Atlantic can disrupt the Gulf Stream, which is the sole reason why Europe has been moderate in climate. But that has NOT always been the case. We know that the Barbarian invasions into Rome during the 3rd century were primarily driven by a colder climate in the north. The invasion of the Sea Peoples ended the Bronze Age and those from the north migrated into the South storming Mesopotamia and Northern Africa.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL

It is just not created by humans.

Perhaps we are now at the tipping point and they cannot keep saying that the extremely cold winter is also caused by CO2 and global warming. The collapse of the gulf stream has nothing to do with CO2. This may result in a major confrontation that these people have been seriously wrong and what they are doing to the economy in trying to shut down fossil fuels at this point in time could result in tens of millions of deaths if the gulf stream collapses.
