Good morning Jeff and the C&C army! For regulars who don’t know me (hi! πŸ‘‹), I co-authored The War on Ivermectin with the inimitable Dr. Pierre Kory, plus a stack of other books and a snarky Substack that refuses to behave.

This weekend I did what any completely normal person would do after several cups of coffee and passing one-too-many ignorant protestors on the roadside: I launched a Change.org petition urging RFK Jr. to immediately and permanently yank the COVID so-called-vaccines off the market and investigate every last criminal involved in their production, promotion, and peddling.

Please sign and share if you think zero liability and billions in profits are NOT the recipe for public health. :)

The VA is still offering the covid DeathVax to veterans including pregnant veterans.

VA ignored their own safety signals that were triggered 6 months after the shot roll out for myocarditis after the 1st Pfizer shot.

Veterans were never warned they could be harmed.

It's worse than offering it to pregnant women. The government is including four Covid shots, along with 33 shots by the time a child is 12 months old, including one Covid shot in utero.

Agree, the vax attack on our kids is disgraceful and criminal. This paper by Paul Thomas MD backs your point in spades, see its Fig-5 (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674) -- note, this solid paper was retracted due to pressure on publisher by big pharma.

Even worse is that all things mRNA are unsafe and all vaccines are rapidly being converted to mRNA. Why all mRNA is unsafe is pretty easy to understand -- see reply to Jenna below. Please help alert everyone to these facts so that the carnage can be stopped.

In Massachusetts they are still promoting covid shots for 6 month old babies and older. I try not to let rage in the door but knowing this causes a visceral reaction in me. And I have witnessed the pressuring/bullying as I work with the (vulnerable) refugee population.

I recognize this as the left's hubris, which will ultimately backfire on them through "natural selection." The entire Massachusetts fixation on woke policies will eventually reduce the population, perhaps precipitously. We will lose representation in Congress, and the entire Democrat house of cards will collapse with a generational return, shifting back toward the Truth of what is real. Their abuses will come to a sickly end.

Don't believe for one second that we have been left untouched... It is proven that SHEDDING by those who took the clot shots has affected the "true bloods".

I for one, returned to my volunteer work after the lock-downs were lifted, only to find the other volunteers spending their times checking with one another on "which one did you take?" I was thankful I wasn't asked, but I noticed immediately that my ovaries started to hurt...

I'm waaay past menopause, so this should not have been an issue with me...but sad to say, I could no longer hang out with this crowd of ladies and their clot shot infested bodies, wondering if they were going as a group to get their next booster!

H pylori is causative in many cases of gastritis and ulcers. There’s a fairly easy breath test for it now (among other test options).

PEL-

I had given up anything acidic and the med had shut acid production in stomach so I need to start over getting a regular diet back and I did one thing at a time. I added back orange juice, tomato juice and tomatoes, diet soda (stopped it tho - just not good for anyone. After adding I would wait a few days to see how I responded and then add something else. I was methodical and slow and it took over a year but now I eat whatever I want that’s reasonable and my digestion is greatly improved. I drink lots of water and eat a variety of protein, carbs, veggies, fruit and sweets in small amounts. I would recommend a full blood work panel and perhaps a scan or even endoscopy to be sure there is nothing else going on. I did. I now believe the medication was creating more of a problem than I had before! Hope this helps!

One particular move which really disturbs me is the sudden removal of monoclonal antibodies from the market after the the injections came out. From what I remember and what was said at the time, they were the one treatment which appeared to be highly effective on just about everyone who received them. Absolutely shocking the way they were first distributed based on race and then completely withdrawn. I'm sure there is a story behind that move (aside from the obvious manipulation to get more shots in arms).

In my mind, it is not clear how effective the monoclonal antibodies were or would be against the subsequent variants and whether they could interfere with the strength of natural immunity.

I listened in on some of the top investment people yesterday, including one guy heavy into the mining sector. I've been listening in on these folks for years now ... and they are very, very smart people. One standout was a discussion on AI and robots, and robots taking over most jobs. Very much on their minds are the problem of what to do with some seven billion people rendered redundant and useless, and who will not really be needed. And also, problems with a dysfunctional guaranteed income payment system for billions of people. Although not directly bluntly stated, It was clear to me that these people suspected that whoever is running the show would not mind 'disappearing' billions of people. Personally, I always thought about all of this once I first figured out in 2020/2021 what was going on with the Covid Terror Campaign.

Precisely. Bringing production back onshore -MAGAthought- is not the same as jobs for people. IMHO any lower level discussion - from pundits to proles, excluding the political class 'cause that's all kabuki - without this factor is myopic; and I could be missing something (admittedly, to preserve sanity, I'm restricting my calorie intake on all manner of laser pointer distractions) but acknowledgement of this "reality" is patently absent everywhere. If missing in higher levels, the investment people class you reference, but it appears it's not, well let's just say it's hard to believe my view of the forest is clearer than captains of industry in this regard. I'm no great thinker, Buckminster Fuller, Freedman, Toffler, that ilk. πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜…

Short term, on-shoring will benefit regular folks. Longer term, AI and robotics (also transhumanism/synthetic nano-bio-technology, etc.) will be highly disruptive. Especially of labor. And longer term is closer than most people think.

I hear for example that highly paid coders are saying that they might have to look for a new vocation because AI can (or will) code better and faster.

P.S. Daver, do you watch the Jr. miners?

Expand full comment
daverkb's avatar

Well, sometimes I do as to PM miners. For example, I just had Silver Crest get bought out by CDE at a premium. And I might keep CDE as they plan to eliminate all debt towards the end of the year which would be a good set up. But I'll shop around first before deciding what to do next. CDE was never a favorite of mine. Haven't decided yet.

Mostly, I buy gold and silver royalty/streamers, and majors or close to. This has worked out well because my re-entry point into the PM sector was in 2018. If I wanted to buy Juniors, I probably would by a junior ETF to spread the risk.

I once lost 400,000 K on Sunshine. That pretty much taught me to stick with really well know entities with well-know track records and good clear financials. Also, when money moves into the sector, big money has to buy in listings with large volume. I always like to get in early and move with the big money.

Gold will move much higher because part of a restructure will be monetizing currency. They have to do it. They aim is long term and at a low rate of depreciating. We still get robbed!

Not in court here, gratefully, but have a family member with similar behavior patterns. A lifetime. Took until just a few years ago to figure out it's called a narcissistic personality style. Which by the way is not a diagnosis. The DSM-5 "diagnosis" is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. We're allowed to call someone a narcissist, just like we can call someone a bully or antisocial, reclusive, shy, dependent, assertive, yada. It's a behavior trait, though you'd be wise not to use such characterizations in a court setting - or directly to the offender without a strong cohort of backup. The offender isn't likely to buckle, but rather dig in.

Anyway, re court, a suggestion to look into the work of attorney Rebecca Zung. She gets it with respect to narcissists, particularly re negotiating. These people are not normal. I read <<HE IS NOT REACHABLE THROUGH NORMAL MEANS.>> Bingo. This is Zung's niche. She is a former big bucks divorce attorney so saw ugly, and was vicitimized by a narcissist business partner where she experienced first hand just how damaging these types are.

Ah, you are one of them. Despite the abuse/misuse of the PCR tests, which I rarely, if ever used, the COVID syndrome is/was real, identifiable clinically and documented to respond in world wide literature & clinical experience to IVERMECTIN at early and late stages & hydroxychloroquine (early stages). Those of use treating patients and reading the reports and paying attention to online discussions knew that it was real and responded to appropriate tailored treatment & ignored Fauci and just treated our patients. Because of his (Kory’s) innovative early hospital treatment approaches to managing severe COVID that kept patients off ventilators & used lower settings associated with lower complications leading to higher survival (which was the exact opposite of what TPTB were looking for), He also lost a lucrative career as an intensivist hospitailst & was widely regarded in that role having developed & taught the use of bedside ultrasound by clinicians for rapid & accurate diagnosis conditions and complications in ICU patients, traveling widely teaching the technique.

You besmirch him falsely, and are lower than whale shit at the bottom of the Marina Trench.

The FLCCC of which he was one of the founders is very much alive and continues on as the Independent Medical Association. Can you document his income from the FLCCC? And compare to his pre Covid income as an intensive care doc, his income when he was forced out of his career, and his income from his current practice? Have you read his book, β€˜The War on Ivermectin’? Do you have any quarrels with what he said in the book? Do you have any ability or experience or knowledge or training that would give you any credibility in what you would say?

Diseases without symptoms and signs don’t put people in hospital intensive care units.

I mean every impartial journalist and medical expert could actually be liable for misinforming and mal-instructing millions if that were true!

Let me re-frame this; REAL doctors, globally, were initially treating hundreds or thousands with HCQ, Ivermectin, Z Pack, and other things RATHER THAN simply doing a PCR test, shrugging shoulders and sending people home with NOTHING other than a flimsy mask til they got a turbo dose of pneumonia and REQUIRED over-run emergency room admission and ventilation, whereby DEATHs with CoVid could be Purposefully Elevated.

Then, way late in the game, some rationed Remdesivir, and even later, Paxlovid and other "safe and effective" "CoVid-targeting" anti-virals were developed and approved as the only Officially Endorsed ways to treat symptoms and spare one a gruesome death in isolation.

This is where Medical-Pharma-Media-Gvt. complex sits yet today. AI's assessment of benefit-risk of all of these products would be more honest and factual than asking one's personal doctor or pharmacist.

Petition signed, thank you for setting it up!

That said, reco also doing a follow-up petition, to end all mRNA shots, given that: (a) all things mRNA are unsafe, because they cause the body to attack itself, and (b) all shots, including those for children, are rapidly being converted to mRNA.

Everyone, please alert all you know of this danger, especially parents with young kids. It is also much easier to understand/prove why all mRNA shots are harmful, using the basic immunology info ref’d below, than it would be for the covid part.

__________

The main reason for all mRNA being unsafe, which does not go away even if all poison and bioweapon parts are removed, is that all cells which have made proteins per mRNA instructions will be violently attacked by body’s immune system, designed to destroy all cells that have made non-self-proteins (like those from mRNA).

Details of this most basic mRNA flaw are clearly explained in 00:55-29:00 of this video https://rumble.com/v1p3855-friday-roundtable-worrying-developments-with-michael-palmer-m.d.-sucharit-b.html. Please share this critical info with all you know!

Any MD pushing mRNA is either ignorant or complicit given that the immunology basics presented by Bhakdi can be confirmed by the info in Chapter-1 of the med-school textbook, β€œRoitt's Essential Immunology”. A free pdf can be found online.

For what it’s worth, here is a summary of the fundamental flaws in all mRNA uses, as noted by Bhakdi, Yeadon, and others.

* When a cell is infected by mRNA, it is tricked into making foreign, non-self-proteins, which essentially marks this mRNA-infected cell for violent death by β€œcomplement” (killer system #2 in body).

* So mRNA causes the body to attack itself, making all things with mRNA unsafe:

___* Blood vessels are damaged first, causing blood clots and leaks, which then enable damage to surrounding organs

___* Above mechanisms explain, at a high-level, sudden death and most other mRNA injuries

Sometimes you have to play net zero sum games in order to get the other party to capitulate. We win in the end because no other country can win a game that declares the winner as the one to lose the slowest.

Buckle-up, it'll be bumpy, but Main Street is far more important than Wall Street.

Thats what Trump is using tariffs for.

I wouldn't get too "worried" by what all these so-called experts and politicians are saying.

Afer all, they're the same people who want us to keep doing what got us $40 trillion in debt, and hollowed out our manufacturing base, while they fattened their wallets, all the while the American worker became more productive but got paid less.

re: "Our stock market is down, a good bit, but the foreign markets are crashing."

Does everyone remember Peter Navarro? He was one of the Trump team gentleman who the unelected, treasonous biden faux administration locked up (meaning took away his freedom and locked him in a fucking jail cell) for 4 months for failing to go before the bullshit J6 Star Chamber - as was Steve Bannon. Don't ever forget what they did to them and all the J6 people who were unlawfully locked up by biden and that MF'er merrick garland and their team of criminals.

With all that said Navarro is back in the fight as a key POTUS advisor! Here is an excellent interview of Navarro by Maria Bartiromo's stand in yesterday, pertaining to tariffs, etc. It is MUST watch if you want the truth instead of the lies from the MSM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3dv8FFTBSU Please, I urge everyone, take the time to watch it, you will be glad you did, and then send it to any indoctrinated lunatics you may have in your life so they too can become informed.

Tariffs...

The reactions this morning are all spot-on! Armstrong just posted the longest post I've seen from Armstrong, 14 minute read...................................................

Why is Trump Using Tariffs? The Truth That Has Misled the World on Tariffs

Posted Apr 6, 2025 By Martin Armstrong

For all the criticism of Trump and the risk of a global trade war, as Macron wants to unleash a trade war to elevate France to the top of the EU, if we just look at the data, we can see why Trump has taken this approach. Even those Republicans like Rand Paul joining the Democrats in calling tariffs a tax, none of them are looking at this issue objectively or seriously. Under the Biden Administration, not only was there a wholesale invasion of illegal immigrants, but on the trade front, he paid no attention at all, and most seemed to assume he was too senile to pay attention.

They are resoundingly calling Trump insane, mainly because they have something to lose. Free Trade has been one-sided. There is a risk that France will push to impose trade barriers against others to support their Marxist agenda. That will be devastating, but we see the world economy headed into a recession for the USA, yet a Depression for the EU. The fact that Trump imposed a 10% tariff on the UK but 20% on the EU is actually driving a wedge between Starmer’s dream of overruling BREXIT to get back into the Marxist utopia of the EU.

In addition, the belligerence of Macron is having an impact. There is a growing discontent with the European Union and the 20% tariff on the EU, with Macron vowing that full retaliation may prove to be the wedge that starts the fragmentation of the EU. Hungary has its own currency and can quickly leave the EU and resume trade with both the USA and Russia. Ukraine has long suppressed the Hungarian people trapped within the boundaries of Ukraine. The same is true for all of those members questioning the EU yet did not join the euro....

...To argue that the tariffs were even a significant cause of the Great Depression is really ridiculous. It was the product of Democratic propaganda to blame the Republicans for everything, which worked in the end. The real cause that wiped out the world economy came from Sovereign Debt Defaults. Because these were sold in small denominations to the average public, those who believed the stock market was risky and bought bonds suffered the total loss of their investment.

Here is a chart of the bonds that were once listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We can see the collapse in the value of bonds dwarfed that of equities. While the Dow Jones Industrials collapsed by 89%, the bonds collapse 100% and never returned. The collapse in debt saw American municipal also suspend payments. The City of Detroit suspended debt payments in 1937 and resumed in 1963 so they can claim they never defaulted.

The collapse in the bond markets was far more serious than tariffs.

Stock Market Crash = Recession

Bond Market Collapse = Depression

Stock crash = recession, bond crash = depression. True.

But, we are in a sovereign debt crisis. I believe Trump has the tools and the guts to pull us back from the brink, but the problem is this mountain of debt is too much.

Option A: Inflate the debt away - the end game of all fiat currency (hyperinflation)

Option B: Default on debt. Bonds go to zero. Chaos.

Option C: Try to push the problem down the road in the stairstep inflate/recession

We are on the brink of A or B in the next decade.

This is what we are seeing. The political component to smashing Globalism in Europe is clearly seen in Vance's remarks, but also in support of reversing what was done to Marie Le Pen.

I agree with Armstrong. It is the fake popular conventional to blame Smoot-Hawly for the depth of the Great Depression. The real truth is that Roosevelt drained billions of dollars out of the American economy through gold bullion purchases, purchases which pushed US gold reserves to around 19,000 tons versus around something like 8,000 today. It really comes down to No Money circulating, No Work.

The only danger I see is the division of our politics from a competitive left/right model in which both parties held all economic classes into a model now that is the affluent versus the working class. Democrats are becoming more like the 18th century Jacobins who took Paris into the Terror. A poll of Democrats found that 55% said assassination is an appropriate response to political opponents. When a society shifts most of its wealth to the top, as Scott Bessent described yesterday, political destabilization is not far off.

The problem is "main street" is based on a total misallocation of resources AND labor as a result of the liberal financialization of the labor market. The "hurt" to Main Street will only be the adjustment and reallocation of labor to actual, real productivity. This "hurt" will be short-lived as the US market begins to boom as a result of industry returning to the US. Likewise, the fall in the US stock market, where Main Street has their retirement funds, will quickly find a bottom and recover. However, the crash overseas, especially in the EU, is not going to be so kind. See the Armstrong link I posted.

Again, most people don't directly own stocks - they have retirement funds that are invested in the market. This has a very real potential to hurt main street. I hope I am wrong and this is some grand economic revolution, but I am far too cynical to believe that. If Trump actually went after the central bankers, then yes, a real revolution that would help everyone - not just the filthy rich - would be more realistic, but that is not happening, and I highly doubt it will happen.

Expand full comment
Politico Phil's avatar

Agree. The average American is invested in the stock market via their retirement funds. They are not traders. The stock market correction is not happening because of Trump. A stock market correction was going to happen with or without Trump. He is only the trigger. If he accomplishes his full agenda, the the correction will be short-lived and healthy. Only when a Gov't intervenes and tries to stop a correction - such as FDR in the 30s - only then do the corrections not recover quickly.

As for the international debt system banking cartel, this is at root the cause and support for all that is wrong. Trump is not "business as usual". He has launched war upon the entire geo-political structure of the West and intends to totally remake it. This will eventually result in a direct attack on the international banking system. And Trump cannot do otherwise now. He knows that if he falters in his purpose, that this would be the death of him and his entire family and legacy. He is all in and it is all or nothing. Undoing what was done in 1913, abolishing the Federal Reserve, establishing an international dollar on real assets rather than debt, eliminating the banking cartel's geo-political control of endless wars for profit and decoupling Main Street from the financialization of the US will necessarily require the destruction of the centuries old debt slavery of the international banking cartel. This is a complete reset.

First, why are you in stocks, which have volatility, if you aren’t prepared to handle volatility? This adjustment isn’t a surprise, you should have switched to safer things after the election. Second, the market will rebound, probably quickly. But so many older people only watch legacy media and lap up whatever they’re being told. That’s why all the protestors are white people over 70.

If we can live through this "adjustment" without the crazies starting a civil war, and get to a freer, more prosperous place for all, it would be a welcomed miracle.

Jeff's daily column has done a lot to give me a sense of perspective and to encourage my sense of humor, and the comradery and common cause of the commenters has given me a sense of a wider network of people who see the world a lot like I do.

I don’t completely disagree, the market has taken a 10% hit in the reset already, maybe that’s enough? Or maybe go in now with 50% of what you want to invest and then put in the rest, if you think we haven’t hit bottom yet (the S&P was only off .23% today, almost nothing). I think if you are going to go back into stocks, you have to go in for at least a couple years and not with money you are going to need during that period. I’m thinking one third in easy, low interest bonds (for cash if necessary) and 2/3ds in the S&P 500 to grow bigly.

My parents who were kids during the Depression and WWII, grew up knowing certain things were important, most everything else was not. If you wanted something, not considered a necessity, you worked for it and saved the money until you had enough. There was no instant gratification, but better was the feeling of earning it. They knew God, family, friends and community. I paid my own way through college. There was a work ethic that is sadly missing today. We want it and we want it now, as cheaply and easily as possible. This is the legacy my grandkids are facing.

Salt's avatar

I agree wholeheartedly with your comment. However, paying your own way through college has long since become a fantasy for millennials and gen z. Along with buying most things, like a home. It went from about 2 times household income in 50-60s to about 5-6 times now. And that's not even counting the astronomica interest cost of mortgage debt of the inflated cost of all other things needed to survive plus bills that never even existed (Internet, cell phone) which are needed for survival now. It was once possible not to have a phone. Everything has increased in cost while wages have all but stagnated.

It can be done. I have a friend who’s son is a graduating senior. He’s a quiet kid who didn’t like sports, wasn’t a gamer or computer nerd, mainly because his parents didn’t allow iPads and chromebooks into the house. He loved taking things apart and putting things back together. Chainsaws, lawnmowers and car engines. He was an intern over last summer at semi conductor plant, and stayed on to work part time his senior year. He took high school classes at a local junior college in the trades. He will be graduating Salutatorian of his class. He saved up over $9000 to buy a used truck. And he has almost a full ride to a local college. It can be done, but parents have to think past the traditional 4 year colleges and look at junior colleges and trade schools. Our grandchildren are being brought up on tablets and tv screens. They play video games. Fresh air and actually working at something that requires physical exertion is beyond the pale. We need to get back to basics.

It’s hilarious really, how lefties pivot to supporting things that previously they decried. And to decrying things that previously they supported. They’re all over the map!

A couple of weeks ago we were with my stepdaughter, a liberal, formerly conservative (we think it was her husband’s family that hypnotized her), and we passed a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Mind you, she warned us not to talk politics on this visit, despite the fact that we haven’t breathed a political thought near her in five years as she would explode and stalk off if we did. But she said (in a sort of hiss) that the statue should be removed, presumably because he was a Republican. I commented that that it was Lincoln who helped end slavery, and that he had written that many men had come to him extolling the virtues of slavery, but none had been willing to be a slave. Silence. It astounds me how intelligent people can totally lack nuanced thought. And she is a doctor.

What were are seeing is the fact that the whole world needs free access to the American Consumer market to make their economies better. Trump is the only one willing to leverage that reality in an effort to level the playing field. We have been told forever that the Great Depression was the result of disastrous tariffs. But there is a ton of evidence that the root cause of the great Depression was the failed response by the Federal Reserve and stupid government policies like a tax on every check wrote which was actually done from 1932-1935 the everyday man reacted to the tax by pulling his cash out of the banks and dealing in cash sparking the deposit runs. The Federal Reserve whose only true purpose is the be the lender of last resort to the banks didn’t fulfill that purpose. In fact they shrank the money supply vs expanding it or just keeping it stable. Every single financial crisis in this country since the Fed was created has been caused or made worse by the Federal Reserve. So if they lied to us about Covid-19 why wouldn’t they have lied about the real reason for Great Depression?

The fed is on its last dying gasp. We will go back on gold, and we will eliminate the federal income tax. In our lifetime
