(1) Remember me asking why the Port of Los Angeles was not updating their December CARGO results?

Remember me asking about why this unusual delay?
(2) The BEA released their fourth quarter GDP data today.

bea.gov/news/2022/gros…
(3) A few hours later, again today, the Port of Los Angeles finally released their December totals.

portoflosangeles.org/business/stati…
(4) You know why that matters?

Because imports are deductions to the GDP equation.

By holding back the Dec port data, the import number to the BEA equation couldn't be deducted. The GDP data is manipulated (inflated) by not deducting the value of the December imports.
(5) Wasn't there a recent visit to the port of LA by someone attached to the White House?

Someone with a vested interest in manipulating the economic data to fit a fraudulent effort they began in October???
(6) Whoops, @RonaldKlain @WHCOS ,

LOL, yeah some of us are really good at staying focused on your trickery.
(7) The actual reason we were tracking this was to see if the ports really were increasing productivity as an outcome of the White House supply chain initiative.

...Or if this was all B.S.

Here's the October reminder.

whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
(8) Here's the actual results. You can see for yourself this "Progress at Our Ports: Moving Cargo and Filling Shelves” was all B.S.

Actual port productivity DROPPED.

(9) Instead, what they did was move the ships further offshore to hide what they were doing. To give the illusion of less congestion and increased effort.

They never put the ports on 24/7 operations. It was all a lie.

(10) Here's the results from the Port of Long Beach.

(12) So, now what we have is a situation where not only did the Biden administration manipulate a false impression of a port supply chain improvement.

They also leveraged the import reporting delay to inflate U.S. economic statistics.
(13) MSM will hide these empirical and demonstrable truths, but at least We The People know them.

Think about what you just wrote here @CBS_Herridge !

The OIG had these phones for how many years, & only just NOW tells Durham?

What does that tell you about intents and purposes of the OIG office itself?

The entire system is about institutional preservation. OIG is in on it.
The DOJ/FBI are a corrupt and rusted political apparatus, used as offensive weapons against any entity who would challenge the interests of the Deep State.

That reality must be kept hidden from the American people.

Bill Barr was the Bondo. John Durham is the spray paint.
The current heads of the Biden DOJ and FBI would never allow Durham to continue if they thought for a minute the DC institutional credibility would be compromised as an outcome.

In many ways Durham is like the corrupt OIG, vacuuming up stray bits that might lead to questions.

Want to understand the dynamic?...

♦ One man standing against Tyranny brings Americans to their feet in support.

♦ One man standing against Tyranny in Australia immediately triggers the crabs in the bucket…

That's the difference between a Republic and a pure Democracy.
The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s *social cohesion* which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed the Hawke sentiment saying forcing Novak Djokovic out of the country quickly was a matter of “public interest “, because his continued presence would destabilize the government.

1/ Technically it was never really stopped. In the original pdf guidance for the 2014 research pause of into weaponization of SARS viruses there was an important footnote:

phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Doc…
2/ [FN¹ SOURCE – U.S. Government Gain-of-Function Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses – pdf, page 2 – October 17, 2014]

phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Doc…
3/ The 2014 pause allowed agencies within the U.S. government to continue funding GoF if they determined “the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.”

1/ @AlexGangitano The Dec numbers won't be released for a few more days. However, based on this article (see link) and the prior stats, it looks like port activity in December will again be lower than October when new port initiative was announced.

2/ It's a simple math equation. Article on end of year totals.

cnn.com/2022/01/04/bus…
3/ The Port of Los Angeles data shows they handled 468,713 import containers in October, and 405,309 in November. That’s a decrease of 63,404 import containers from the prior month.

(1) This thread, not written by me - but does have strong merit. A little on the worst case scenario side of things, but well-argued and accepted.

What could be in our future....
(2) "We all know by now “Never let a crisis go to waste” REALLY means:

CREATE a crisis, or the PUBLIC PERCEPTION of a crises, in order to justify a public policy change (Government action) that you want to enact."
(3) And, typically do nothing to truly address the crises you created, as to do so would eliminate the justification for the government action you wanted all along.

**ahem**

I must credit the entire CTH team for nailing the timeline almost to the exact moment approximately 4 months ago. [Stunningly accurate] As we continue to hold firm, there are less than two weeks left before FUBAR hits the 24/7 news cycle.
