There are Trillions At Stake….
March 1, 2020
President Trump is disrupting decades of multinational financial interests who use the U.S. as a host for their ideological endeavors. President Trump is confronting multinational corporations and the global constructs of economic systems that were put in place to the detriment of the host (USA) ie. YOU. There are trillions at stake; it is all about the economics; all else is chaff and countermeasures.
We are already familiar how China, Mexico and ASEAN nations export our raw materials (ore, coking coal, rare earth minerals etc.). The raw materials are used to manufacture goods overseas, the cheap durable goods are then shipped back into the U.S. for purchase.
It is within this decades-long process where we lost the manufacturing base, and the multinational economic planners (World Trade Organization) put us on a path to being a “service driven” economy.
The road to a “service-driven economy” is paved with a great disparity between financial classes. The wealth gap is directly related to the inability of the middle-class to thrive.
Elite financial interests, including those within Washington DC, gain wealth and power, the U.S. workforce is reduced to servitude, “service”, of their affluent needs.
The destruction of the U.S. industrial and manufacturing base is EXACTLY WHY the wealth gap has exploded in the past 30 years.
Sunday Talks: Marco Rubio Discusses The Danger of China Against Backdrop of Coronavirus…
March 1, 2020
CTH is more confident than ever about POTUS having a comprehensive understanding of the bigger picture around COVID-19 and China’s Coronavirus outbreak. In this interview Senator Marco Rubio discusses the risks that China now represents on a myriad of levels.
The Coronavirus issue hits on three main points of policy outlined by President Trump since his initial announcement of candidacy in 2015: (1) The need for secure borders and strong immigration controls. (2) The need to stop reliance on Chinese manufacturing; and (3) The need for the U.S. to have independent control over key sectors of manufacturing; including healthcare products and pharmaceuticals, as a matter of national security.
.
Stay big picture. Think about what you know of the aggressive Communist and strategic disposition of China. In addition to the risks within technology development (well discussed), allowing China to have a heavy influence over critical healthcare supply chains is too dangerous.

COMMENT: Wow, this ad really does illustrate what you have been saying. The divide is widening.

REPLY: I was very surprised to see such an ad. However, this was from the 2016 election. I still hear the rumors behind the curtain that they will prevent Bernie from winning on the first ballot and then draft Hillary. I still hear that from many sources. That is what I find really interesting.

The First Sunday of Lent 2020
March 1, 2020
Gospel Mt 4:1-11
At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert
to be tempted by the devil.
He fasted for forty days and forty nights,
and afterwards he was hungry.
The tempter approached and said to him,
“If you are the Son of God,
command that these stones become loaves of bread.”
He said in reply,
“It is written:
One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth
from the mouth of God.”
Then the devil took him to the holy city,
and made him stand on the parapet of the temple,
and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down.
For it is written:
He will command his angels concerning you
and with their hands they will support you,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.”
Jesus answered him,
“Again it is written,
You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.”
Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain,
and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence,
and he said to him, “All these I shall give to you,
if you will prostrate yourself and worship me.”
At this, Jesus said to him,
“Get away, Satan!
It is written:
The Lord, your God, shall you worship
and him alone shall you serve.”
Then the devil left him and, behold,
angels came and ministered to him.
Joe Biden In South Carolina: Y’all Vote For Me Now-Hear?!
By Judi McLeod —— Bio and Archives—March 1, 2020
Out on 2020 election hustings, Obama’s former vice president Joe Biden sometimes forgets what day it is, what state he’s in and even that he’s running for the White House and not the U.S. Senate.
But just like clock work, Sleepy Joe remembered to slip into a Southern accent when addressing supporters in South Carolina during yesterday’s primary victory.
“If Democrats nominate me,” the 77-year-old Biden said midway through in his regular voice, before switching into an affected southern accent, “I believe, we can beat Donald Trump.” (Breitbart, Feb. 29, 2020)
“Ah baa-leave, we can beat Donald Trump” was Biden’s Hillary Clinton-type Southern drawl, delivered in his singsong voice.
Next he’ll be serving up collard greens in which ever state he happens to be in on Super Tuesday, thinking he’s still in South Carolina.
“Former Vice President Joe Biden slipped into using a Southern accent while addressing supporters after a resounding win in the South Carolina primary. (Breitbart)
“Biden, who on Saturday won his first nominating contest despite having run for the presidency twice before, was all smiles at his victory party. Some on social media, however, noticed that the former vice president seemed to take on a Southern accent while speaking.”

‘Don’t feel no ways tired’: Biden channels Hillary with pandering new SC ad targeting black voters’ (The American Mirror, Feb. 14, 2020)
“Former vice president Joe Biden is pulling out all of the stops in reaching out to the black voters who are abandoning his campaign in droves, even if it means channeling one of the most disingenuous panderers in American politics: Hillary Clinton.
“We don’t feel no ways tired,” Biden bellowed in the video over footage of the 77-year-old offering hugs to a firefighter, black woman and older disabled lady.
“We’ve come too far from where we started.
“Nobody told me the road would be easy,” he continued with more of the same. “And I don’t believe he brought me this far to stop now.”
Biden Loves South Carolina!
Vote Joe!
Sleepy Joe Biden is running for senator, er, governor, er, president and he just won the South Carolina primary. Creepy Joe is now going into ‘Super Tuesday’ with some momentum. In fact, pundits are already saying the race is now between Biden and Bernie.
I hope it’s Crazy Joe Biden. Not only will he provide plenty of subject matter for cartoons, but he will also stand the least amount of chance against President Trump. Sure, they’re saying Bernie would be the weakest candidate, but I’m not so sure of that. Bernie is offering the malarky of ‘free stuff,’ and that’s why he’s currently in the lead. Besides, I don’t want a crackpot communist to be any closer to the presidency.
So let’s put on another record on the ol’ record player and hope it’s sniffin,’ kissn,’ gropin’ Joe. Leg hair combing Joe. Mumbling, stumbling, gaffe-machine Joe.
Go Joe!

The 2020 Election

Re-Posted Mar 1, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
What is very interesting is that Trump would even do such an advertisement. The Democrats have organized themselves into “The Resistance” to sabotage President Trump. This is really a major confrontation for Democracy is dead and indeed the press has lost all integrity and is no longer balanced. Many are confused. Why do the Democrats hate Trump so much? It certainly seems that they are so against him because he cannot be bribed and is such is overturning their feeding trough.
There are many people that wonder what is going on. This advertisement is truly amazing insofar it is exposing a lot of issues that many people find questionable. There are some entities that Trump points out in this advertisement from Sorors to the bankers who I can personally attest have been engaged in trading markets for major gains and rely on the SEC and CFTC to always look the other way. Some banks have been paying bribes to achieve their goals in markets. I have called them “The Club” for they were outright soliciting me to join.
This 2020 election will be different. It will be very interesting, to say the least.

Biden -vs- Bernie, The Race Begins…
February 29, 2020
The odds of a brokered Democrat convention have increased significantly after a big win by Joe Biden in South Carolina; not as much because of the vote result, but more as an outcome of watching how the Club coalesced the background narrative.
As a result of his overwhelming win in the palmetto state Joe Biden now has more primary votes cast for him than Sanders. At this moment, Biden is winning the popular vote.
With Bloomberg’s fatally flawed debate performances helping to move the non-Bernie voters toward Joe Biden; and with the fingerprints of the party apparatus visible in the way South Carolina rolled out; it is clear Biden is now the DNC Club’s preferred candidate to stop Bernie ‘Fidel‘ Sanders.
Most of the thirteen Super Tuesday states will likely be significant wins for Fidel Sanders. California and Texas will provide major delegates toward his primary effort, and he will likely receive additional delegates from strong finishes in every state he doesn’t win. However, Biden is now going to be pushed hard, and financially fueled by the Club apparatus.
As the Club begins to put the players into position, Senator Amy Klobuchar will stay in the race until after her home state of Minnesota votes Tuesday to keep Bernie from additional lift. Amy will likely endorse Biden on Wednesday. Buttigieg soon thereafter. The Club officers, or the DNC establishment per se’, will put pressure on all club members.
Mini-mike Bloomberg has structured his entire campaign around Super-Tuesday; however, it now looks like $500+ million wasted. When and how Bloomberg concedes defeat to Biden is a matter for Club negotiation. Club leadership will start executing the media messaging now, the rough outline was visible in the Biden victory speech.
Biden will take the passive-aggressive lane and claim the morality message, painting himself as the arbiter of decency. Media will fall-in line. The Club and peers will paint Bernie as a divisive candidate with violent and vitriolic tendencies. Any act of aggression, verbally or visibly by Bernie supporters, will be used to amplify that narrative. That baseline plays short-term against Fidel Sanders and long-term against President Trump.
A divisive Bernie narrative, built upon the image of toxicity, is needed for a DNC convention where the Socialist wing will come to the convention with a great deal of delegates. Positioning the Sanders coalition as extreme and incapable of governing will play well for the votes of the Super-delegates who could ultimately decide the nominee.
Jane Sanders is likely scrolling real estate websites book-marking options for the opulent retreat they will select to heal their wounded sensibilities; while still controlling the direction of an oblivious progressive caucus…. Socialism at its most predictable outcome.
The Club is really good with manipulative astroturf tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some remarkable DNC schemes deployed against the Sanders campaign in March, April and May. The DNC four-day convention is scheduled for Milwaukee Wisconsin July 13th-16th.
It should be noted that Wisconsin is the home of a large radical population, and the DNC convention; a battle for the heart of the Democrat party; will be taking place on the home turf of some of the most angry & organized Bernie Sanders supporters in the country.
