It’s happening too fast. You couldn’t keep up if you were trying. The orders coming out of the new Administration are in line with the promises made on the campaign trail. President Trump has been saying what he will do in his speeches. I don’t know if you watched the appearance in Davos on the big screen but it was priceless. He wrecked them. All the dignitaries are wondering why they came, and what’s next. How good is it to have a guy that doesn’t need a teleprompter?

There’s a pervading sense that the U. S. is back, directing things, not just waiting to see what happens. There has been a blizzard of executive orders. It’s a full-time job just to keep up. Fauci has been denied secret service protection, but he’ll still need protection, so he’s reportedly hired his own.

So many documents are due to be released. Several that are no doubt already the theme for books. How many books have been written about the very things that are released, and how many theories will be tested? We may find out things we don’t want to know.

America is back with a vengeance, so to speak. We don’t know how many reports will be written in the coming days and weeks. I don’t know if we could stand everything at once. Maybe there will be a schedule. The experts will pour over everything released and let us know. They’ll probably prove their theories with the real thing, which nobody can deny.

There are all kinds of reports about AI, and what it will bring in the future. It seems things are speeding up and changing. AI better not do all the things they’re worried about. There is dangerous territory here. Some may regard it as the answer to everything. We’ll have to be on our guard, lest it lead us off into the wrong direction.

You can listen to Trump’s speeches, they’re coming fast and furious. You think the world is not taking notice? They better get with the program or risk being left behind. Maybe you’ve noticed, everybody wants to be on the Trump train.

Big name business people didn’t miss the inauguration. They were all there, wanting to be greeted by the President. They better be part of the solution, and they know it. Those trying to stand in the way are going to get run over. Think of it, we don’t have to pretend we understand all the cockamamie nonsense they’ve thrown our way.

I’m sure they’d like to respond, but Trump isn’t giving them time. Executive orders are coming so fast it’ll make your head spin.

Fires are still burning in California, but the good news is the minnows have been saved. What? They haven’t been saved? Nobody has seen one in ten years? This idea that people have to get burned out to save some little fish is wearing thin. Apparently they got so carried away, with “change” and all that, they forgot to make sure the fire hydrants had water. They apparently didn’t think dry reservoirs during the Santa Ana winds would be a problem.

I lived in California for many years. The Santa Ana winds are an annual occurrence, but the city has never burned before! You don’t suppose these “officials” were worrying about other things?

While they were worrying about whether they had enough weirdos on the force…

From here it looks like things are going in the right direction. We don’t have to worry about offending anybody anymore. They don’t get to insist we believe things that aren’t true.

I know the church has always preached the end of the world, and I guess something still could happen to derail this realignment. But my sense is that God looked down in His mercy and decided the time is not yet. Let’s see where this American revival goes.

Bloomberg) — The global elite in Davos woke up Tuesday breathing a sigh of relief after President Donald Trump concluded his first day in office only talking about trade wars rather than starting any.

But just how long the world’s most effusive tariff salesman will hold fire is anyone’s guess — and the chief executives and investor class gathered in the Swiss mountain resort town are bracing themselves.

“Even when I was there eight years ago, there was always a heavy debate on tariffs — on the positives and the negatives of tariffs, on the intended consequences, unintended consequences,” Gary Cohn, IBM Corp. vice chairman and Trump’s former National Economic Council director, said Tuesday on Bloomberg TV. “Look, it’s day one of a four-year administration. You don’t have to put tariffs on day one.”

Following in the example of WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab’s ‘Global Risk Report’, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen used her address in Davos on Tuesday to highlight the supposed risks of allowing the free flow of information in light of the alleged threat of “disinformation and disinformation”.

“These risks are serious because they limit our ability to tackle the big global challenges we are facing: changes in our climate – and our geopolitical climate; shifts in our demography and in our technology; spiralling regional conflicts and intensified geopolitical competition and their impacts on supply chains,” she said.

The EU chief therefore called for governments and private firms to form a “new connective tissue” to “deliver the solutions we need, to fight threats like climate change or industrial-scale disinformation.”

Last night an ambush video was aired showing an alleged Pfizer executive boasting that variants were being created with a vaccine ready to go, or words to that effect.  That’s before he realized that he’d been recorded and went full blown loony tunes. Surely the company will fire the guy and say they barely knew him.  But he did have an impressive title.  If he wasn’t talking through his hat, gain of function research is on the table, which doesn’t look right for the company selling vaccines.  He called the ploy “directed evolution.”   That’s before he called the police and then started rushing people.  We may see a lot of this before it’s over.  Newsweek has already published a “fact check” attempting to discredit the whole episode.  Pfizer has yet to comment. 

We found out this week that the United States is sending Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine.  Purely a defensive measure mind you.  It’s been explained that the U. S. had to send a battalion of tanks so Germany could in turn send twice as many Leopard tanks.  Is that how diplomacy works?  The argument is that Putin is on the ropes, and if he doesn’t win in Ukraine something will happen internally to take him down.  Apparently there isn’t any anti-war movement in Russia.  Putin’s successors might be even more aggressive.  His popularity doesn’t seem to be suffering, assuming you believe the polls.  But the tanks.  That seems to be ratcheting up our involvement in something that could turn ugly, as if it’s not ugly enough.  

The whole thing seems an exercise in playing chicken with W. W. III.  But nobody asked us.  Did they ask somebody?  Somebody’s going to have to tell me what the pretender said, because trying to decipher words and meanings has become impossible.  Who’s making these decisions, and are they the right ones?  The guys standing in the backdrop in uniforms and medals don’t inspire a lot of confidence either.

Where does this end up? Or does it? There are some things yet to happen. If the Davos crowd gets it’s way it would all happen at once.  It looks like they want to have the power over what people think, publicly at least.  Nobody would dare question global warming without severe punishment.  Or for that matter entertain any of the “conspiracy theories,” especially those that turn out to be true. If the media is any gauge, we must all believe the same things and speak with the same voice.  They’ve gone to great lengths already, but some of us aren’t buying in.

It’s not like the public doesn’t already know too much, on a whole range of subjects.  But the mainstream keeps banging on like the public agrees with their conventional wisdom.  Polls are conducted and released to banish any question about what the public believes.  We’ve got “analysts” that come on television to tell us what we believe.  It’s enough to make you talk back.

It’s starting to look as though the pretender is reaching the end of his usefulness, as far as his handlers are concerned. Certainly all the brave talk about the next election goes hollow. Maybe I don’t know the whole story, but the news is making it sound like his own lawyers and aides ratted him out. Does your lawyer have access to your garage? Lawyers are paid handsomely to protect their clients, aren’t they?  

To say the troubles are mounting would be a vast understatement. The pretense may be just about over. Who’d have thought the world could come unglued over such a short period of time? The industrial military complex used to be a topic of conversation. The phrase dare not be used when the aforementioned is blowing up all the old inventory half a world away, and no doubt in overdrive producing the latest models. But never mind that.

Familiar lunatics are all but foaming at the mouth. They’re outraged that investigations are about to take place in official settings. It’s sabotage, “TREASON,” to hear them tell it. We can only hope their angst is justified. Sure enough, some of the most vocal opposition is about to occupy the top spots on committees and no doubt difficult questions will be asked. When you think about it, the easiest way out might be an admission of mishandling top secret papers and retiring with the millions. It wouldn’t be hard for him to declare himself incompetent. It’s not like there’s a shortage of evidence.  Otherwise, it’s going to be excruciating for all concerned. The embarrassment will know no bounds.

Meanwhile the “elite” planet-saving brigade is meeting again at Davos. They’re figuring out how to force all the big corporations, who’ve already officially bought into all the “woke” jargon, to abide by their European rules. You see, having the money and influence to operate in such rarefied company entitles you to membership in the club that plans to rule the world. It seems they plan to “make” every large corporation play along, or they won’t be able to operate under the new European rules.  Adopting the lingo is something these companies and corporations have already done. They’re diverse, nonjudgmental, gay, green and saving the planet. What’s the problem? 

After all, they’re only adopting the “modern” approach to everything. They better see what’s going wrong, and stand  up if it’s not too late. These people who want to “save” us from ourselves aren’t going to get a clue. This is their path to world rulership, for our own good of course.  Nothing is off limits.

A trial balloon got floated this week. You must have heard about the fracas that broke out over gas stoves. It didn’t go over so well despite the testimony of AOC.  It’s going to be hard work, distracting the public from the scandals coming from all directions.  Already a special council?  We no sooner heard of the latest scandal than a special council had been appointed.  Usually that means that nobody dares say a word until…the special council releases a report. Until then, everybody hold their horses.  Maybe they’ll make a determination in two years’ time.

At first it looked as though the mainstream was turning on Biden. Who hires aides to dig up trouble? With aides like that… But it looks like most of the mainstream wants us to look the other way. Maybe all this trouble will be eclipsed by world events.  What could go wrong?  

Whatever happens with the pretender, we can only hope these buffoons who’ve flown their private jets to the ski resort in Switzerland have a nice day, and leave the rest of us alone.

You can’t escape the news of the school shooting in Uvalde, TX.  But the story has taken several surprising twists.  Apparently there are protocols for this kind of thing.  Police don’t just storm in and take control of the situation.  Despite the fact that the shooter was inside the school, killing children, police were outside arguing with distressed parents.  There’s plenty of video of the police holding panicked parents at bay while nobody knew what was going on inside.  We don’t have the whole story.  It will trickle out through eyewitnesses in the days ahead.  But the press conferences and explanations as to the actions of law enforcement don’t sound very good.  We support law enforcement and expect them to take action against the shooter immediately, especially when the lives of little children are at stake.  Listening to the spokesmen talk about the need for “specialized equipment” while seeing parents held at bay by police is not a very good look.

We have yet to feel the brunt of inflation.  It may cost $100 to fill your tank, but everything we buy is on the rise.  With fuel costing double already, the increase will be applied to every single thing we buy.  We may already be in recession, but it’s not official yet.

You’ve noticed that news from the war in Ukraine is dying out.  Our tormentors voted to insert $40 billion of U. S. aid into the fray.  Surely some of that must go to replace America’s dwindling supply of some items.  Who knows.  At the rate things are going we might need them.  The pretender seemed to say that we’d intervene if China tries to take Taiwan militarily.

Maybe it wasn’t the smartest thing in the world to outsource the production of electronic chips to a country China says belongs to the regime.  We don’t even want to have to imagine what life will look like if manufacturing is dependent on items that are unavailable.

There is growing evidence that the short supply and soaring prices of gas and diesel is intentional.  It’s looking, and sounding, more and more like this is part of the plan to “save the planet” by forcing everyone into modes of transportation that are impractical, expensive, and anything but “green.”  It’s unbelievable that everybody’s been thrown into an economic tailspin due to canceled pipelines and oil exploration  being placed off limits.  The last thing we need is some nonsense speech about “when this is all over.”  We can’t help but wonder what the world will look like once they’ve “saved the planet.”

The WEF (World Economic Forum) has been meeting in Davos, Switzerland.  The globalist institution has our future all planned for us.  They’d have to run over the Constitution, but there’s not much else standing in their way.  Apparently the powers that be want to give enormous powers over to a global body, one that sees the United States as racist, bigoted and unfair.  We hope there will be another chapter where we become the light of the world.  After all, it’s not the pretender who’ll be around to suffer what he’s wrought.  It’s our kids and grandkids.  They’ll never forgive us if we allow some jaundiced institution like the WEF to eradicate freedom in the United States.

Maybe they’ll be chasing us around about monkey-pox next.

Yes, our nation experienced massive shortages during the Great Depression; however, they were not predicted nor announced BEFORE the problem. It was only after the stock market crashed that they followed.

Here, we have a different scenario. A sitting US President has information considered so reliable that the population deserves to be ‘warned’ of dwindling food supplies. Wouldn’t that be the information one would keep classified, as we wouldn’t want the public to panic or begin hoarding? Journalist Mike Gonzales wrote about purported ‘food shortages’ being used as a weapon by the Left to promote the expansion of the Welfare State.

https://www.heritage.org/hunger-and-food-programs/commentary/significant-food-shortages-rare-america

My recent post discussed a patient’s observation that the government was encouraging farmers and ranchers not to produce and destroy their crops and cattle. While I could not confirm this, we now have other disturbing information that suggests it may be true. There may be a plan by our government afoot to create a food shortage.

First, a Maricopa County, Arizona, food bank recently and mysteriously caught fire which destroyed some 50,000 pounds of food. The timing was also suspicious for arson as it occurred just 15 minutes after the Maricopa Food Pantry closed on a Monday morning.

https://t.co/ltJ8clwAJI

Dr. Benjamin Braddock reported on Twitter a number of these unusual food-related fires. There was a massive fire at a Salinas food processing plant. The facility produces for Taylor Farms.

Dr. Ben Braddock reports on at least a dozen more suspicious fires targeting similar facilities – Smithfield Foods, Deli Star Meat, Hot Pockets, Tyson Poultry, Bonanza Meat, Mair-Rite Steak, JBS Beef, McCrum Potato, Kellogg’s, and Cargill-Nutrena.

https://twitter.com/DylanRMarshall/status/1516858367599267842?s=20&t=5j9vtdQxmHpYZb19RXvc-w

Braddock reports on an explosion that destroyed a large North Carolina fertilizer plant February 1, 2022.

Finally, he reports that Taiwan may be experiencing similar unexplained fires coincidentally targeting food facilities.

https://t.co/0qGtQeukdn

Interestingly, any resulting food shortage will likely and officially be blamed on Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. After all, the Ukraine is known as the World’s Breadbasket, and the war has throttled their crop production. But, of course, Putin, Biden’s scapegoat for everything, has also shouldered the blame for runaway gas prices and unprecedented inflation.

But if we examine this more closely, it begins to sound more and more like the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset agenda. The WEF is grounded in technocracy and ‘stakeholder capitalism,’ a fancy term for Fascism, the melding of Government and Corporatism into a totalitarian control over the average citizen.

https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/techno-facism-techno-feudalism-or?r=17wv6g&s=r&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

The WEF is the elite Oligarchy that are pulling the strings of our various prime ministers and presidents and orchestrating Woke Ideology, Climate Change, Pandemics, Wars, and now Concocted Food Shortages to create a scenario where citizens will embrace global control – to the point where we will all be happy merely to survive, but own nothing, by 2030.

Is it possible our own government is betraying us?

Is it possible that the United States of America, the envy of the world, has been so infiltrated by monied interests that it would turn on its own and devour its young – all to benefit a few elites that control the money, the media, and narrative?

Once again, we call for all freedom-loving Americans and citizens to awaken and spread the word. The time now is not for panic, but it is a time for action to defeat unjust laws, action to elect new Congressmen and Senators, and action to defeat censorship in any way we can. Now, not later, is the time for all to speak out.

The post Food Shortage – By Design first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

In trying to construct a sentence, the realization dawned that some subjects are just not fit for discussion.  Many of us will spend the remainder of our lives having to look at and hear about the heroic, historic, brilliant Judge on the Supreme Court.  Many are drawing a connection between some of the worst imaginable behavior, and the record showing that the newly confirmed Justice thinks, and has ruled, that it’s not that big a deal.  Just opening the subject is wretched. But she’s considered it several times and in her wisdom came down easy time and again.

We’ve been treated to a flood of horrific photos and stories out of Ukraine this week.  Two Fox News contributors were killed and another seriously injured.  There are information services and people working behind the scenes for the purpose of developing a narrative.  After what we’ve been through, with the news anchors pretending to believe the nonsense they’re so concerned about, who knows?  So now we’re supposed to suspend disbelief and be seriously informed?

Some things are undeniable.  The destruction of whole towns and villages is obvious, as are the testimonies of those fleeing.  The atrocities?  Apparently there are animalistic Russian soldiers if the stories are true.   When you think that this all might have been avoided, it’s all the more depressing.

It’s been played over and over, that’s how sad the video is.  The reputed world leader was wandering here and there looking for someone to talk to him in a crowded room, and coming up empty.  Just pitiful.  The descent into denials and jocular redirection has begun.  It’s all fun and games to hear the defense team.  Everything’s fine.  But it’s not.

The weeks and months ahead will be painful, for those involved and for all of us who have to suffer through it.  It’s starting to look like mental slippage is the least of the first family’s concerns.  The cat is out of the bag.  There will be revelations we’d rather not have to hear.  But we’ll have no choice.  Eventually it will be everywhere.  But there is an insurance policy.  Inappropriate cackling is something we’ve not seen behind the podium with the Presidential seal.  Nobody but nobody wants that.

We can’t even look at what’s going on with the Southern border.  How can this ever be undone?  There’s been headline news here in Texas, claiming our governor is fixing to bus all the desperate and illegal aliens to Washington D. C.  In the same breath we hear that lawsuits will be filed, and that the governor has no authority to interfere with the operations of the Feds.  Meanwhile…

Eagles are getting thrashed and killed by these “clean energy” windmills.  Whether or not they make economic sense, they’re apparently killing lots of birds.  A wind farm company has just been convicted and fined $8 million for killing eagles. University researchers are trying to solve the problem of knocking federally protected species out of the sky by the do-gooders saving the planet.  Never mind about the construction methods, or where the materials come from.  Forget about the costs involved in the transport and setup of the monstrosities.   It turns out that wind farms get permits that allow for a dozen or more dead birds.  An acceptable death toll for those saving the planet.  But nobody said anything about eagles.  Until now.  But don’t worry, most of them were Golden eagles.  They’re working on it.  Besides, there are all kinds of culprits when it comes to killing birds.  Pesticides and cats are purportedly killing them by the millions.  I doubt cats are killing eagles, in fact it’s probably the other way around, but that’s part of the zealot’s argument.  Saving the planet may not be as simple as they thought.  After all, wind energy accounts for a whopping 3% of national consumption!  Consider the source.  Even that figure has probably been tweaked.

Finally, what’s with this Klaus Schwab dude?  We’re finding out that several current and former heads of state are graduates of his WEF global leadership program.  If you look at the people in high office, from heads of state to university positions, you have to wonder where their loyalties lie.  There are some big names involved in the global leadership of tomorrow, or whatever.  We will be looking at this.  Global leadership, especially with all the diversity and environmental considerations, is something we’d hoped we wouldn’t see.  It’ll be lots of fun when governments are more interested in all the woke sentiments and “saving the planet,” than they are the interests of their own populations.  It’s already firmly established, and it doesn’t sound good.  It looks like this outfit has plans for us that we’re not about to go along with.

The post Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – 8 April 2022 first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

The letter was sent to the Spring 2021 virtual meeting (April 5-11) between the globalist World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) and delivered through Peter Cardinal Turkson, Prefect of the Holy See’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.

In the letter, the Pope says the Covid-19 pandemic forced the world to “confront a series of grave and interrelated socio-economic, ecological, and political crises.” Francis brought up one of his favorite topics, climate change, claiming, “We are, in fact, in debt to nature itself, as well as the people and countries affected by human-induced ecological degradation and biodiversity loss.”

Francis’s language sounds similar to that of the globalist founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab, who designed the anti-Catholic “Great Reset,” a plan heavily dependent on a “green financial agenda.” Francis has sent addresses to WEF already four times during his eight years as pope and has permitted a Vatican roundtable at WEF’s annual Swiss conference site, Davos.

Pope Francis also refers to the secular fraternity outlined in his recent encyclical Fratelli Tutti, and calls for “a justly financed vaccine solidarity,” which, according to him, is necessary to fulfill “the law of love and the health of all.”

“Here,” he continues, “I reiterate my call to government leaders, businesses and international organizations to work together in providing vaccines for all, especially for the most vulnerable and needy.”

Pope Francis recently called for a “new world order” and, according to the letter, this world order should be globalist, as he says, “There remains an urgent need for a global plan that can create new or regenerate existing institutions, particularly those of global governance, and help to build a new network of international relations for advancing the integral human development of all peoples.”

Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church are not mentioned at all in the letter, while God is mentioned only once—in the letter’s last line.
