Is Inflation “Transitory”? Here’s Your Simple Test

Is inflation “transitory” in your household budget? Really? Where?

The Federal Reserve has been bleating that inflation is “transitory”–but what about the real world that we live in, as opposed to the abstract funhouse of rigged statistics? Here’s a simple test to help you decide if inflation is “transitory” in the real world.

Let’s start with some simple stipulations: price is price, there are no tricks like hedonics or substitution. Nobody cares if the truck stereo is better than it was 40 years ago, the price of the truck is the price we pay today, and that’s all that matters.

(Funny, the funhouse statistical adjustments never consider that appliances that used to last 30 years now break down and are junked after 3 years–if we adjusted for that, the $500 washer would be tagged at $5,000 today because it has lost 90% of its durability over the past 30 years.)

*** end quote ***

My readers, acquaintances, friends, and anyone who will listen to me is probably tired of hearing me whine about “penny candy”, “three silver dimes for a 1965 gallon of gas”, “my long gone father-in-law’s fifty dollar bill”, and “the dollar losing 99% of its purchasing power in 50 years”.

I don’t know how else to make “We, The Sheeple” realize that the politicians are robbing us blind.

Argh!

All I can say is save your nickels; at least they have some intrinsic value.

POLITICAL: Fauci resisted Trump directive to cancel virus research grant

Fauci resisted Trump directive to cancel virus research grant linked to Wuhan lab, new book says
Excerpts from the book, “Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration’s Response to the Pandemic That Changed History,” are being released.

*** begin quote ***

Trump issued a directive to Fauci and the National Institutes of Health in April 2020 to cut funding for a study examining how coronaviruses jump from infected bats to humans after it was reportedly linked to the lab in Wuhan, suspected of having leaked the virus.

The exchange between Fauci and the White House is detailed in an upcoming book by Washington Post reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta called “Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration’s Response to the Pandemic That Changed History,” according to Fox News.

The study’s sponsor, EcoHealth Alliance, was then told to end the remaining $369,819 balance of its 2020 grant.

According to the book, on April 2020, Fauci and NIH Director Francis Collins received notice that Trump wanted to cancel the grant. Fauci and Collins resisted, telling the White House they “were not sure the NIH actually had the authority to terminate a peer-reviewed grant in the middle of a budget cycle.” 

“The HHS general counsel told them to do it anyway and made clear it was a direct order from the president, implying that their jobs were on the line if they didn’t comply. Fauci and Collins reluctantly agreed to cancel the grant,” an excerpt of the book reads.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: What is mandated public education but enslavement of the young?

It is Time to End Compulsory Public Education

Posted on 6/26/2021, 1:50:44 PM by cuz1961

*** begin quote ***

It is Time to End Compulsory Public Education. . What is mandated public education but enslavement of the young?

The State is teaching second graders “restorative justice.”. High schoolers are instructed that their families “reinforce racist/homophobic prejudices.” Government officials – teachers and school board members – are targeting parents for their opposition to the teachings of critical race theory.

And we grovel to the State, begging them to make it stop.

This is not the profile of a free people.

The fight against the government’s efforts to teach and promote evil will always exist as long as there are public schools. The evil may be different in degree – it won’t always be critical race theory …

Mandated education is a relatively new idea in the West….

By what authority does a State have to compel attendance at a government school?

The Supreme Court has held that students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate.5 What of the right to not attend school?

Is the right to not be forced to attend a government school lesser than the freedom of speech?

..

“By what authority does a State have to force a child attend a government school, where they are taught poisonous and evil doctrines?”

I disagree that this is a power inherent to a State. This wasn’t a power accepted at the formation of this country or when the Constitution was drafted. Even where there were laws mandating schooling, they didn’t mandate public education. There’s a big difference there.

To that you might say it’s the consent of the governed: “The voters gave the State the authority to compel public education.”

My parents never gave the State that authority. Did yours?

*** end quote ***

As I have often blogged, “public education” is to create cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite.

In the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee, “the teachers’ union” wields an awesome amount of political power.  So it’s never going to give it up voluntarily,

Perhaps, “We, The Sheeple”parent will just withdraw their consent and their children from the system?

FBI tears innocent New Yorker’s life into shreds after Jan. 6: Devine
By Miranda Devine
June 23, 2021 | 10:39pm | Updated

*** begin quote *** 

Joseph Bolanos was a pillar of his community. President of his Upper West Side block association for the past 23 years, he looked out for his neighbors during the pandemic. He dropped off masks and kept extra heaters in his rent-controlled apartment for seniors. He raised morale with a weekly street dance to show his support for essential workers. 

A Red Cross volunteer after the 9/11 attacks, the 69-year-old security consultant once received a police commendation for heroism after saving a woman from being mugged. 

Unmarried, and caring for his 94-year-old mother, he was a well-loved character in the quiet residential area. 

But now his neighbors think he is a domestic terrorist. 

Yes, he attended then-President Donald Trump’s rally in Washington, DC, on Jan. 6, but he never entered the Capitol. He was in a friend’s room at the JW Marriott a 30-minute walk away when the Capitol breach occurred. 

Nonetheless, he was raided in February by the FBI anti-terrorism task force, handcuffed, paraded and detained for three hours while his apartment was ransacked and all his devices confiscated. Four months later, he hasn’t been charged and doesn’t have his devices back, but his neighbors are shunning him, and he’s had two strokes from the stress. 

“It’s destroyed my reputation,” he says. “I’m not a violent invader … I do not condone the criminality and violence on [Jan. 6] whatsoever.” 

The FBI told Bolanos he was raided because of a tip to the Jan. 6 hotline from a neighbor who said he had overheard him “boasting” about being at the Capitol. 

An FBI agent phoned Bolanos the Sunday after the riot and left a message. He returned the call the next day, but never heard back. 

*** end quote ***

If EVER contacted by “law enforcement”, your next contact should be with a criminal defense lawyer.  PERIOD!

Don’t talk to them ever.  And if your lawyer demands audio and video recording, they’ll never talk to you.

See that deprives them their ability to lie about you or what you said.

  • Biden unveils crime reduction strategy, targets gun rights

*** begin quote ***

President Biden’s topic was one of utmost importance Wednesday — crime and gun violence. But you wouldn’t know it from the way he spoke.

He slurred his words. He called the ATF “the AFT.” At one point, he talked about the history of the Second Amendment and “the blood of patriots” before concluding that someone would need nuclear weapons to take down the government. If you weren’t confused, you were horrified.

Biden was obviously tired, speaking in barely a monotone. He couldn’t pronounce “cognitive.”

*** end quote ***

As I said on Facebook, Biden and his speech writes are ignoring the Afghan irregulars, who armed with late 1890’s and early 1900’s weapons, fought the USSR and the USA to defeat.

Imagine what would happen in the USA where ⅓ of the population is armed with modern weapons, the hunters are even more dangerous, and our “drug gangs” have to be the finest light infantry in the world. (And “light” maybe a miss categorization.)

Argh!

New Study Links Ivermectin To “Large Reductions” In COVID-19 Deaths
BY TYLER DURDEN
MONDAY, JUN 21, 2021 – 10:20 PM
Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

*** begin quote ***

A recent pre-print review based on peer-reviewed studies has found that using antiparasitic drug ivermectin could lead to “large reductions” in COVID-19 deaths and its use could have a “significant impact” on the pandemic globally.

A health worker shows a bottle of Ivermectin as part of a study of the Center for Paediatric Infectious Diseases Studies, in Cali, Colombia, on July 21, 2020. (Luis Robayo/AFP via Getty Images)
 
For the study (pdf), published on June 17 in the American Journal of Therapeutics, a group of scientists reviewed the clinical trial use of ivermectin, which has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, in 24 randomized controlled trials involving just over 3,400 participants. The researchers sought to assess the efficacy of ivermectin in reducing infection or mortality in people with COVID-19 or at high risk of getting it.

Using multiple methods of sequential analysis, the researchers concluded with a moderate level of confidence that the drug reduced the risk of death in COVID-19 patients by an average of 62 percent, at a 95 percent confidence interval of 0.19-0.79, in a sample of 2438 patients.

Navarro goes on to accuse Fauci and the liberal media of being complicit in tens of thousands of negligent homicides as this treatment has been confirmed to be effective. It’s another reason to hate Fauci. It’s another example showing how bad he is at his job. The man was wrong about testing, the vaccine (he thought we didn’t need one), and masks. He admits in emails that the masks we all wore for a year did nothing to curb the spread. Only Fauci can explain why he did what he did on COVID. He lied. He was biased. He is the poster child for the death of medical expertise. They got political. They wanted Trump gone, but now the population, except for woke liberals, have rightfully turned their backs on these political clowns. They’re not doctors. They’re DNC operatives. With COVID over, you can mute Fauci on your televisions.

The Food That Can Downregulate a Metastatic Cancer Gene
Michael Greger M.D. FACLM June 14th, 2021 Volume 54 

  • Women with breast cancer should include the “liberal culinary use of cruciferous vegetables.”

*** begin quote ***

Ovarian cancer. “Cruciferous vegetable…[intake] significantly favor[ed] survival”, whereas “a survival disadvantage was shown for meats.” Milk also appeared to double the risk of dying. Here are the survival graphs. Eight years out, for example, about 40 percent of ovarian cancer patients who averaged meat or milk every day were dead, compared to only about 20 percent who just had meat or milk a few times a week at most.

Now, it could just be that the fat and cholesterol in the meat increased circulating estrogen levels, or because of meat’s growth hormones, or all the carcinogens. And galactose, the sugar naturally found in milk, may also be directly toxic to the ovary, and dairy has got all the hormones too. However, the lowering of risk with broccoli and the increasing of risk with meat and dairy are also consistent with the CD36 mechanism of cancer spread we’ve been talking about.

*** end quote ***

Hmmm, docs can NOT “prove” that broccoli is a miracle anti-cancer “drug”.

But, low cost side effect free “treatment”?  How much proof does one need?

Even if they’re wrong and they can’t say why there’s a broccoli effect, why not just jump ahead of the “proof” in case they are wright?

Doesn’t seem much downside!

COVID, Ivermectin and the Crime of the Century
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola 
June 16, 2021

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Data clearly show ivermectin can prevent COVID-19 and when used early can keep patients from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease. It can even help critically ill patients recover
  • Ivermectin has a long history of use as an antiparasitic, but its antiviral properties have been under investigation since 2012
  • Studies have shown ivermectin inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal influenza viruses, inhibits inflammation through several pathways, lowers viral load, protects against organ damage, prevents transmission of SARS-CoV-2 when taken before or after exposure, speeds recovery and lowers risk of hospitalization and death in COVID-19 patients
  • Doctors have been told not to use ivermectin as large controlled trials are still lacking. However, once you can see from clinical evidence that something is working, then conducting controlled trials becomes unethical, as you know you’re condemning the control group to poor outcomes or death. In fact, this is the exact argument vaccine makers now use to justify the elimination of control groups and giving everyone the vaccine
  • The Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance recommends widespread use of ivermectin for all stages of COVID-19, including prevention

*** begin quote ***

As noted by Weinstein, ivermectin appears to be intentionally suppressed. It’s simply not allowed to be a go-to remedy. The obvious question is why? Don’t they want to save lives? Isn’t that why we shut down the world?

“I would have these data arguments,” Kory says. “But it’s not about the data. There’s something else. There’s [something] out there that is just squashing, distorting, suppressing the efficacy of ivermectin, and its egregious.”

Indeed, as noted by Weinstein, it’s not even difficult to prove that ivermectin is being suppressed and censored. Censorship of certain COVID-related information, such as ivermectin, is written into the community guidelines. You’re not allowed to talk about it. If you do, your post will be censored, shadow-banned or taken down. If you persist, your entire account will be taken down.

The Covid Vaccine and Depopulation; The Beginning of the Trail
Jon Rappoport

*** begin quote ***

Since the rollout of the COVID vaccines, reports of bleeding, irregular menstrual cycles, and miscarriages have surfaced.

Children’s Health Defense, February 3, 2021: “Health Officials Push Pregnant Women to Get COVID Shots, Despite Known Risks” [1]:

“…as of Feb. 12, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) had already received 111 reports of adverse events experienced by women who were pregnant at the time of their Pfizer or Moderna injection…”

“The first such report was submitted Dec. 22, just 10 days after authorization of the Pfizer vaccine. Nearly a third (31%) of the women had miscarriages or preterm births, which occurred within as little as one day of injection — the majority after a single dose of vaccine.”

“The descriptions of miscarriages and premature births accompanying the VAERS reports are tragic and hair-raising.”

*** and ***

In the present situation, we have COVID vaccines. They’re being injected all over the world. Women are making reports of bleeding, disrupted menstrual cycles, miscarriages, pre-term births.

There is a long history, extending to the present day, of elite groups researching and deploying vaccines designed to terminate pregnancies, for the purpose of depopulation.

The elite groups and players behind the current “pandemic”—the WHO, UN, Bill Gates, Rockefeller Institute, etc.—are the same groups who have been developing depopulation vaccines.

This is called a clue.

It lights up like a giant sign, at the beginning of the trail of investigation into the use of COVID vaccines for depopulation.

Novak Djokovic took another step towards cementing his GOAT status with an incredible five-set win over Stefanos Tsitsipas to claim Grand Slam title No. 19. But the real highlight was a young fan’s reaction when the Serb gave him his racket after the match.

The boy was overwhelmed with emotion, absolutely losing it as the cameras zoomed in.

“He was in my ear the entire match, basically, especially when I was two sets to love down,” Djokovic said at his post-match press conference. “He was encouraging me, he was actually giving me tactics as well.

We also cannot ignore the fact that leftists have an insatiable appetite for collectivism, usually in the name of the “greater good”. Collectivism is basically totalitarianism disguised as humanitarianism. They know what’s best for you, and they are going to make sure you follow THEIR plan for your life.

*** end quote ***

Imagine if the Jews has guns, could the Nazi’s loaded them on trains to their torture and death?

And, why is the first thing a totalitarian regime do is to disarm “We, The Sheeple”?

We can’t even count the number of deaths attributable to the various genocides; best we can do is estimate the number of millions.

Sorry, “from my cold, dead hands” just means, that they may kill me, but I’m not going to make it easy for them.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Now is the time to #resist.  Here’s Churchil on the subject of when to start:

“…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

  • Arresting and Silencing Wuhan Doctors for Warning of a Disease Outbreak
  • Failing to Test and Isolate Potential Coronavirus Patients
  • Hosting a “Family-Style” Banquet for 130,000 People a Month into the Pandemic
  • Cutting Domestic Flights, Letting 5 Million People Leave Wuhan

Heritage Foundation (Yes, “Boooo”) is adopting the Tom Woods’ patented “free ebook for your email” strategy with “9 Ways Socialism Will Morally Bankrupt America”. Liked the proverbial “stopped clock” that’s right twice a day, the did a good job nailing the problems with “socialism”. If I had a critique it would be that it didn’t defend “Greed is Good” (because it motivates humans to cooperate regardless of other factors). I like the metaphor that “money” is just “certificates of appreciation” from our fellow human beings whom we have satisfied. We need “greedy rich people”, as long as they don’t get their “certificates” by force or fraud that they commit or the Gooferment commits for them. Seems so simple.

Told to me by a policeman friend. Young lady lawyer, just graduated from a top law school, joined a prestigious law firm in Philadelphia. First Friday on the job, went to happy hour with her colleagues, had only 2 drinks, drove home carefully. Bad luck. An elderly lady got confused, drifted on the wrong side of the road, head-on collision. Lawyer was fine, but other lady was injured pretty badly. Police showed up (including my friend) at the scene. He said that lady lawyer had no idea her life was over (he knew) until asked to take a breathalyzer test. He had never seen anyone go that fast from calm and taking care of the other lady, to completely terrified (“including times I had to pull my weapon on someone”). Yes, turns out that she was marginally over the legal limit. Got a tough judge. Felony DUI, jail time (may have been suspended on appeal), but no longer practicing law. Not really the “few seconds” but the decision to drive after a few drinks ended her entire professional life that she had worked so hard for— this was pre-Uber,

Now a story I tell my kids and other kids often. Take an Uber / Taxi. Even if you are “in control” it simply isn’t worth the risk (another driver may do something very stupid, and you get blamed automatically.)

Addition: Thanks for the comments. Several people have suggested that a first offense with low BAC would result in a mere slap on the wrist without life-changing consequences (a few heated comments including someone who called me a liar, because any judge doing this “would be impeached” and subsequently deleted the comment). Two caveats, I am not a lawyer, and yes, this is second hand. But, what I believe these folks are missing is that this was a DUI WITH serious injury. I believe that elevates the charge from a typical “general impairment DUI” (which usually has no jail time) to a felony DUI (more severe penalties including state prison) — and not sure how much wiggle room DA/judge had. And refusing to take a chemical test, won’t reduce that charge if an injury was involved.

Clearly as a little L libertarian, I disagree with the Gooferment “justice system” on DUIs.

Just as obvious to me is that, if you do “damage” while driving, then you have to be held accountable to the fullest extent.

If there is no damage, then there is no “violation”.  Roadside checkpoints are just a flat out violation of the Fourth Amendment. It’s transparently clear, that there has to be a proportion in this particular “one-size-fits-all” Gooferment “solution”!

Argh!

LIBERTY: Sure the irony of this might give someone insight into why the Gooferment should not have the power of life and death!

Arizona secretly refurbishes its GAS CHAMBER for death row inmates and will execute them with same pesticide Nazis used to kill 865,000 Jews at Auschwitz

  • Records show the state began quietly restoring the chamber in the state prison in Florence, southeast of Phoenix, last year
  • Officials also bought up materials needed to manufacture hydrogen cyanide gas
  • That is the same pesticide the Nazis used to murder more than 865,000 Jews at Auschwitz, sparking fury from anti-capital punishment campaigners 
  • No one has been executed by gas chamber in Arizona – or nationwide – in more than two decades when killer Walter LaGrand was put to death in 1999
  • LaGrand took 18 minutes to die, strapped to a chair choking and gagging for air; the brutal method has not been used since 
  • State corrections officials will not say why they are restarting the gas chamber 
  • But they pointed to a rule that inmates can choose gas chamber or lethal injection if they were convicted prior to 1992 when the injection was introduced
  • The rate of executions has fallen to near record lows across America due to a limited supply of lethal injection drugs 
  • Arizona prosecutors signaled that they want to resume executions after a seven-year hiatus, with two prisoners – Frank Atwood and Clarence Dixon

As a pro-life little L libertarian, I don’t trust the Gooferment with such a great power.

I have problem with the Gooferment involvement at both ends of the spectrum of life from the beginning to the end.

And so should everyone.  Because the next target could be you!  Or worse, me!

LIBERTARIAN: How about getting the States to collect “federal” taxes?

Push comes to shove—what about taxes?

Technically, most federal taxes and fees are collected directly by the federal government, most notoriously IRS “withholding”.  But what if states decided to temporarily intervene? Hypothetically, could they—again using 9th and 10th Amendment arguments—ask employers in their states, who are forced to withhold, to temporarily place those revenues in a dedicated escrow account, “withholding the withholdings “, as it were, until certain reforms—like election reforms—are passed and implemented? We could find out.

Libertarians are always looking for ways to put “logs” in the Federal Gooferment’s way.

Here’s a good one.

All federal taxes collected in a State should be collected by the State Gooferment and forwarded to the Federal Gooferment!

The value is NO NEED FOR THE IRS.

Most States have a similar income tax system that piggy backs on the Federal Gooferment system. Time to switch places.

Those States that don’t have an income tax can figure out how they would like to fund, or not, the Federal Gooferment!

No need for Federal programs that send money to the States either.

TINFOILHAT: The “birther” issue come up again?

Just Who Made Obama’s Birth Certificate an Issue?
By Jack Cashill

*** begin quote ***

The media’s failure to investigate Obama’s background is a scandal in its own right.  Bauer, though, had done his job.  The day after the suit was dismissed, the word leaked out that he would be taking over as White House counsel.

Berg would file additional suits, as would others.  He simply requested to see some basic information about Obama, most notably his passport applications and his birth certificate.  With little in the way of explanation, Obama’s attorneys resisted at every turn.  These attorneys included not only Bauer and other private attorneys, but also U.S. attorney general Eric Holder.  “What a tragedy,” writes Berg in a self-published book, “that our government with an opportunity to resolve this issue one way or the other, did not do so to protect Obama.”

*** and ***

What attracted Trump to the birther issue was not Obama’s race, but his inexplicable resistance to sharing his birth certificate.  If Obama were born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, there would have been no reason not to share it.  In my own forthcoming book, Barack Obama’s Promised Land: Deplorables Need Not Apply, I argue that Obama was hiding not the “where” of his birth, but the “when.”  Although this argument is speculative, Obama’s behavior strongly suggests he was hiding something.

*** and ***

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, mind you, but I would suggest that a firm capable of commissioning the Steele dossier would have no trouble dummying up a birth certificate.  Just sayin’.

*** end quote ***

Having read Cashil’s book on the “birth certificate” issue, there is certainly enough doubt about its authenticity.

But even more important than the certificate itself, who felt it necessary to create such an inept forgery,

That creation indicates both a conspiracy and various state and Federal crimes.

As usual, the media is not interested in “the Truth” anymore, if ever.

Sad to say, this is the story of “every story”!

I wonder why we humans haven’t realized the connection between diet and disease?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Keystone XL was an example of Gooferment ‘market interference” to make things worse

Published on by reinkefjLeave a comment

Keystone XL

A Canadian energy firm behind the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline said yesterday it would formally end the project. President Joe Biden revoked the company’s permit to build an extension from Montana to Steele City, Nebraska, on his first day in office. 

The canceled line was planned as the fourth phase of the larger Keystone pipeline, which is currently operational (see map) and transports more than 600,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta, Canada, to refineries along the US Gulf Coast. The already built line, which enters the US in North Dakota, remains operational. The addition would have increased capacity by roughly 800,000 barrels per day, or 7% of US daily consumption.

The Phase IV extension was originally opposed over its environmental impact in US Great Plains states, but became a proxy for the larger debate over climate change. See a timeline of the project here. 

# – # – # – # – #

SO how will all this oils move from Canadan to the Gulf Coast? 

Trucks?

No extra pollution, risks, or inefficiency in that!

Gooferment making things worse and worse every time.
