Biden, Browner, And The Green New Deal

Joe Biden’s campaign is unveiling a ‘Climate Engagement Advisory Council” aimed at mobilizing voters who prioritize climate change and environmental justice. November’s election is a stark contrast between Biden, whose platform goes much further than Obama-era policies,  and President Trump, who largely dismisses the problem, and is rolling back his predecessor’s initiatives. 1

Joe Biden has picked Carol Browner as a climate adviser. Browner was the Clinton EPA chief and Obama energy and environment czar.

President Obama’s climate czar, Browner

As President Obama’s climate czar, Browner told lawmakers to embrace the Green New Deal, and later suggested they start by codifying the Obama regulations that President Trump was trying to undo. 2

Browner’s remarks came a few hours after lawmakers unveiled their resolution for the Green New Deal, which would transition the US economy entirely away from fossil fuels within ten years while simultaneously providing federal jobs and health care guarantees. It would also, according to proponents advance ‘social’ economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice and equality and cooperative public ownership.

“Let’s just take a moment to, like, say this is a good thing. This is a big challenge, and it deserves a big response. A lot of the details we’ll need to work through and sort out, but today’s a good day. We took a big step forward. And it’s only through aspiration and vision that we make progress, so I’m excited,” she said. 2

Steve Milloy reports, “Carol Browner was a commissioner in Socialist International. This revelation has been ignored by the mainstream media and blithely dismissed by her supporters. Socialist International is precisely what it sounds like—a decidedly anti-capitalistic political cause. Founded in 1951, its organizing document rails against capitalism, asserting that it ‘has been incapable of satisfying the elementary needs of the world’s population..unable to function without devastating crises and mass unemployment..produced social insecurity and glaring contrasts between rich and poor..(and) resorted to imperialist expansion and colonial exploitation..” Socialist International also asserts.”  3

According to its own principles, Socialist International favors the nationalization of industry, is skeptical of the benefits of economic growth and wants to establish a more ‘equitable international economic order.’ In true Marxist form, it asserts that, “the concentration of economic power in few private hands must be replaced by a different order in which each person is entitled—as citizen, consumer or wage earner—to influence the direction and distribution of production, the shaping of the means of production, and the conditions of working life.”

“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as how do you change the entire economy thing,’”

Steve Milloy concludes, “You know, one might get the impression that there’s actually something wrong with, and embarrassing about a key White House adviser advocating the undermining of a basic principle of our economic system.” 3

All of this sounds like the words of Green New Deal Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s proponent’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti, who admitted recently that the true motivation behind the Green New Deal is to overhaul the ‘entire economy.’  “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as how do you change the entire economy thing,’” he said. 4

The Black Lives Matter Effect is Killing Black Children


If you support Black Lives Matter, you’re killing black children

The Black Lives Matter Effect is Killing Black Children

Mekhi James, a 3-year-old boy, cried, “It hurts”, after he was shot in Chicago.

Then he died.

Sincere Gaston, a 1-year-old boy, was also shot and killed in Chicago. A 3-year-old girl was shot in the chest while playing in the front yard with other children. She was among the four toddlers shot in Chicago in two weeks. Older children are also being shot. An 8-year-old girl was grazed in the head, and a 5-year-old boy in the buttocks.

“Where is the outrage? Our babies are being shot. These are our babies,”

Natalia Wallace, a 7-year-old girl described as “quiet and sweet” was shot and killed on the sidewalk.

“Where is the outrage? Our babies are being shot. These are our babies,” Chicago PD’s Chief of Operations Fred Waller, who is African-American, asked.

The question ought to be directed to Black Lives Matter as the BLM Effect fuels shootings and deaths around the country. And the most vulnerable of the BLM Effect’s victims are black children.

Eight children under the age of 10 have been shot in Chicago in the past few weeks. The cause of these shootings is an upsurge in crime from the Black Lives Matter riots that have devastated the country.

The Black Lives Matter riots are killing black people, and particularly black children, in two ways.

Chicago murders are up 83% in June, while arrests fell 55%, street stops 74%, and traffic stops 86%. If you want to see what defunding the police looks like, just stop by Chicago and bring a bulletproof vest.

John Catanzara, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police, blames a new Ferguson Effect in the George Floyd era where officers, “pause and say: ‘I want to go home today safe. I want to make sure I keep my job. And I want to make sure I don’t go to jail.’”

Mayor Lightfoot argues that it’s due to the police being tied up by the Black Lives Matter protests.

And they’re both right. The BLM Effect has a dual function.

Not just black people, but black children are being shot across America because of the anti-police riots

The protests are tying up large numbers of cops, leaving gang members free to fight their battles, and the dismantling of proactive policing and the scapegoating of cops makes the police less proactive.

Alderman Chris Taliaferro, the African-American chair of the Chicago City Council Committee on Public Safety, said, “Our police officers don’t want to be the next headline.”

Even as Democrats around the country endorsed Black Lives Matter and championed defunding the police, Chicago’s black political leaders rushed 1,200 cops to the streets for the July 4th weekend.

African-American Police Superintendent David Brown ordered sweeps of street corners for gang members and pleaded with the courts to keep them in jail for at least the weekend.

“Our endgame is arrests,” he said, vowing to break, “the pipeline for shootings and murders in Chicago.”

A white ACLU official warned that would, “drive a wedge between the CPD and communities of color.”

While Democrats, their leftist leaders, and the media insist that the real threat to black people comes from police officers and white ‘Karens’ who try to defend themselves, the truth is in the hospitals.

Not just black people, but black children are being shot across America because of the anti-police riots.

In Detroit, a 9-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl were shot while shooting off fireworks.

“Black lives matter it seems like, only when a police officer shoots a black person”

In Washington D.C., a world away from where Democrat and Republican politicos sell out children like him by conspiring on “police reform” and “criminal justice reform”, Davon McNeal, an 11-year-old boy, was shot and killed while grabbing a phone charger and earbuds before heading to a July 4th BBQ.

Mayor Muriel Bowser offered her “thoughts and prayers”. But the little boy shot at the Frederick Douglass apartments didn’t need thoughts and prayers recited on Twitter, he needed the police.

The boy’s mother was a community D.C. Violence Interrupter and his grandfather is a Guardian Angel. He was surrounded by alternatives to police, including a city initiative that spent $10 million on community activists that were supposed to somehow ‘interrupt’ violence, but don’t stop bullets.

“We’re protesting for months, for weeks, saying, ‘Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter.’ Black lives matter it seems like, only when a police officer shoots a black person,” John Ayala, the boy’s grandfather, said.

“What about all the black-on-black crime that’s happening in the community?”

In St. Louis, a 4-year-old boy was shot in the head over the July 4th weekend. He was one of 4 children shot on the Fourth of July in the city and one of over 60 children that have been shot there this year.

St. Louis Children’s Hospital’s ER has seen more children with gunshot wounds in May than any previous month in its history.

An 8-year-old girl was shot and wounded on July 4th in Cleveland. A 15-year-old boy was among three people who were shot in Boston in 24 hours. In Delano, California, an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old girl were shot and killed at a party. The girls were Latino and their lives don’t matter at the moment.

There’s a 44% increase in shootings and a 23% rise in murders in New York City

But in New York City, TreShawn, an 11-year-old boy was wounded while playing outside his home.

There’s a 44% increase in shootings and a 23% rise in murders in New York City. Call it the BLM Effect.

“More people not in jail,” NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan said, explaining the rising violence. “Rikers Island in New York is empty. Between Covid, between bail reform, the protests caused animosity towards the police, which took us out of neighborhoods that needed us the most.”

In Rutherfordton, North Carolina, Aaliyah Norris, a 7-year-old girl, was shot and killed by Shaquille Francis. Her 9-year-old older sister won’t sleep and won’t eat after the murder.

Royta Giles Jr., an 8-year-old boy, was shot and killed in a Birmingham mall. Another girl was wounded. A 5-year-old boy was also shot and wounded in Birmingham while riding in a car.

Royta will receive a tiny fraction of the media attention and leftist outrage that Rayshard Brooks did. When a movement cares more about a violent thug than a little boy, that sums its moral compass.

A 6-year-old girl was shot and killed in Palm Bay, Florida. Two children were shot in a drive-by attack in Baton Rouge. A 5-year-old and a 12-year-old were shot during a gun battle in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Clarity Coleman, the 5-year-old, was shot in the leg while being pulled on a wagon.

“I didn’t even know that I got shot until I started feeling the pain,” Chyesha Smith, the 12-year-old, said.

70 children were shot in Philadelphia this year. A 43% rise. 96% of the child victims of violence are black.

This is what Black Lives Matter looks like in the real world.

In Minneapolis, where the city council has voted to defund the police, 50 kids from a youth football team, some as young as 5 years old, ran for cover as shots were fired by rival thugs in a park. Elsewhere, a 7-year-old boy was shot in the foot. 116 people were shot in June. That’s a 400% increase.

Sasha Cotton, who heads the city’s office of violence prevention, blamed angst and trauma from Floyd’s death. Her office’s plan to prevent the violence is to urge the victims not to retaliate.

The BLM Effect is taking black lives across America

Coach Thompson, who is black, said, “It was crazy to have 50 to 60 rounds fired and no police presence.”

But he’s considering supporting the defunding of the police.

The BLM Effect is taking black lives across America. In Milwaukee, shootings are up 95%, in Hartford, they’ve risen 36%, and in New York City, shootings are up 142%. In just one week, an extra 37 people were shot. That excess capacity can be credited to Black Lives Matter and all of its supporters.

While Democrat leaders grappled with taking down statues of the great explorer and possibly even renaming the city, Columbus, Ohio is experiencing one of its deadliest years.

Cincinnati is headed toward its deadliest year in over two generations. Murders are up 65%. The average murder victim is black. Only 4 were white.

“Each of those lives matter and the majority of those who have lost their lives this year, last year and the year before that are African Americans. It’s unfortunate to say it is at the hands of other African Americans,” Christopher Smitherman, the black head of Cincinnati’s public safety committee, said.

Smitherman is the former president of Cincinnati’s NAACP.

Black Lives Matter falsely pretends that black people are mostly endangered by police, when in reality, in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country, they’re protected by police officers.

And those police officers are increasingly black.

Black Lives Matter declared war on the police on behalf of criminals. The death toll in black lives is shocking. And the toll in the lives of black children is even more heartrending. When the police leave, the criminals take over, and the hospitals and morgues pile up with the black victims of gang violence.

That’s the BLM Effect.

Supporting Black Lives Matter means not only supporting criminals over the police, it means enabling the mass deaths of black people and black children that inevitably follow in the wake of the riots.

If you support Black Lives Matter, you’re killing black children.

Now With A Sanitized Wikipedia Page, Kamala Harris Touting A Drive-Thru Vote


The Democrats, under cover of the Coronavirus, are pressing voting masses to vote for a completely digital presidential candidate in a drive-thru vote where you don’t have to step out of your car!

Now With A Sanitized Wikipedia Page, Kamala Harris Touting A Drive-Thru Vote
With ditzy Joe Biden still hiding out in the basement of his Delaware home—never more to be seen in public—presumptive vice president pick Senator Kamala Harris is coming down the pike.

Like Biden, Harris is trying to play it in-the-bag safe.

‘Kamala Harris’ Wikipedia page scrubbed of information amid veepstakes, igniting online fight’ (Fox News, July 6, 2020.)

“An online battle has erupted over the Wikipedia page for Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., with a significant uptick in edits that reflects a pattern that’s been seen ahead of past vice-presidential announcements and led Wikipedia to put the page under “discretionary sanctions.”

“The trend was first reported last week by The Intercept. According to the revision history of the Harris article on Wikipedia, there have been 500 revisions to the page since May 9, most of which have been made by one highly prolific editor.

“That editor first started significantly changing the article in April, making additions that led another editor to say on the Kamala Harris “talk” page, “[y]ou seem to have gone through a database of press releases from Harris’ office, cataloging every single one and adding it to the article. That is not how we write encyclopedic articles.”

“That user also removed information that was critical of Harris, with some other editors on the “talk” page objecting to changes regarding Harris’ relationship with former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown that were allegedly made “without adequate justification.” Users also objected to changes related to Harris’ record as an aggressive prosecutor, with one editor making a change on July 2—after The Intercept published its story— saying they were “restoring more scrubbed well-sourced content. Just because it may be ‘unflattering’ doesn’t mean it needs to be censored.”

“I’m not a Democratic operative, I do this for free because I’m sick of misinformation about Kamala Harris,” he said on the Harris “talk” page.

“Harris has widely been seen as one of the favorites to be the running mate for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. But her record as a prosecutor, which dogged her during the initial stages of the Democratic presidential primary race last year, could be even more of a liability now as a wave of anti-police sentiment has swept the nation, especially among the left wing of the Democratic Party.

“It’s unclear that the edits to Harris’ page, which have been much more frequent than those for other potential Democrats involved in the 2020 “veepstakes,” signify anything more than one highly dedicated individual wanting to make the page reflect more positively on Harris. But the attention brought onto the issue by the media last week appears to have led other editors to place the page under more scrutiny, aiming to ensure that it includes both flattering and unflattering information on the senator.

“Multiple editors on the “talk” page have argued that the one prolific editor should “recuse himself from editing the Kamala Harris page.”
Another added: “I am concerned that Wikipedia not be turned into a campaign website for Kamala Harris.”

And you thought that Kamala Harris could only be seen in online dance moves!

While Wikipedia editors are fighting it out among themselves, Harris has come out of the Democrat barn, adding a new twist to the Party’s all-out mission to make the 2020 election a complete Mail-In Vote:

“Kamala Harris just released a massive Voting Rights Bill with an INNOVATIVE new idea: Drive-Thru Polling Locations.(Stop-Republicans.org email, July 6, 2020)

“MAKE VOTING EASY:
LET PEOPLE CAST THEIR BALLOTS WITHOUT LEAVING THEIR CAR (VERY VERY SAFE OPTION)

“Listen—Kamala Harris just came up with an INCREDIBLE plan to keep Democrats safe to vote in the 2020 Election:

“A National System of Drive-Thru Voting (SO SMART)
100,000 CITIZEN CO-SPONSORS NEEDED IN JULY: Will you add your name to co-sponsor Kamala Harris’ drive-thru voting bill?

“We must ensure that it is safe to vote in the 2020 Election.

“We need to make voting accessible for Every Democrat—or Trump will win re‑election.

“But with Trump’s cronies like Mitch McConnell in control of the Senate, Kamala Harris’ plan is in DANGER. He knows that the GOP would be in shambles if elections were actually fair!

“That’s why we’re calling on a MASSIVE wave of 100,000 citizen co-sponsors to PASS Kamala Harris’ drive-thru voting bill
– Stop-Republicans.org

“PAID FOR BY STOP REPUBLICANS PAC
(http://WWW.STOP-REPUBLICANS.ORG)
“Stop Republicans, an accountability project of Progressive Turnout Project, is a grassroots-funded effort dedicated to resisting the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s radical right wing agenda. “

Conclusion: The Democrats, under cover of the Coronavirus,  are pressing voting masses to vote for a completely digital presidential candidate in a drive-thru vote where you don’t have to step out of your car!

The Shared History of NAACP and Black Lives Matter


Race hustling has become a very profitable business in America

Allen West imageRe-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 7, 2020

The Shared History of NAACP and Black Lives Matter

“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” (Quote attributed to George Santayana)

If American Blacks are to truly overcome, the time has come for them to stop being driven into irrational emotionalism.

Somehow, in the Black community, reason and rational thought have taken a backseat to the acceptance of thoughts, perspectives, and ideologies that are not consistent with the “proclaimed” principles and values over which many in the black community shout “hallelujah” on one particular day of the week — Sunday.

Why are we watching a community self-implode

Why are we watching a community self-implode but go right along “whistling past the graveyard” in addressing its real, true issues.

I believe the fountain from which this irrational emotionalism flows has to do with organizations that have been established in the Black communities, along with the charlatans who lead these organizations.

I want to present a short comparative analysis between two of them — the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Black Lives Matter (BLM). There are some very interesting lessons to be learned from understanding these two organizations.

First, let’s take a look at the NAACP. Full disclosure:  My Mom, Elizabeth Thomas West, was a life member of the NAACP.

The NAACP was founded in New York on February 12, 1909 by four white progressives. Their names were Mary White Ovington, William English Walling, Henry Moskovitz, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Of course, they sought out a black man named W.E.B. DuBois to be the face of the organization they envisioned.

DuBois, who had been an ally of my ideological mentor, Booker T. Washington, took the NAACP towards a more protest-oriented approach to civil rights for Blacks. Washington took a more reasoned approach of education, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance. The schism that permeates to this day was then created.

The early leftists in America had established a more intelligentsia-based movement that looked upon the method of Booker T. Washington as demeaning. From there, we get the moniker “sellout,” which is still prevalent in these days. Washington wrote “Up From Slavery” and was a renowned educator and orator who hosted one US president and dined with another. DuBois wrote “The Soul of Black Folks” and was a sociologist.

I have yet to hear the NAACP voice any concerns about the rampant shootings, black on black, in our American urban population centers

But what is quite amazing is the life of W.E.B. DuBois, a man who was an avowed socialist, then communist, and ultimately renounced his American citizenship. So, what about the organization that chose DuBois as its figurehead? Just as with those who founded it, the NAACP has become nothing but a political arm of the Democrat Party, the modern progressive socialists.

When was the last time you heard about the NAACP taking a position for educational freedom (school choice)? When have you heard the NAACP speak out against Planned Parenthood or the genocide of 20 million unborn black babies since Roe v Wade?

I have yet to hear the NAACP voice any concerns about the rampant shootings, black on black, in our American urban population centers. Nor has the NAACP spoken out about the decimation of the traditional nuclear black family, and the failure of President Johnson’s Great Society welfare, nanny-state policies?

I guess the NAACP represents the “establishment” aspect of an organization created by leftists.

That brings us to the new, radical organization created by leftists that proclaims to care about Black lives, but has proven only to care about ideological-driven lives. Once again, we have an organization, BLM, whose fundamental principles are aligned more with Marxism. As a matter of fact, their leaders have admitted to being “trained Marxists.”

There is nothing about the Black community and its real principles that are aligned with Marxism. Yet this organization, BLM, has somehow convinced people that they care about Black lives — the question is, which ones? BLM also is seeking to advance itself by radical protest, not by addressing the real issues facing the Black community.

When has BLM gone to Chicago and taken on the issue of black on black crime, or to Baltimore, Detroit, pick your city?

When has BLM gone to Chicago and taken on the issue of black on black crime, or to Baltimore, Detroit, pick your city? The BLM principles condemn the traditional nuclear family as a representation of white supremacy — so, they embrace the decimation of the black family?

The bottom line is that the left has once again co-opted a title for an organization that dupes Blacks into believing that white liberal progressive socialists care. The only thing they care about is power. The only thing they care about is maintaining a victim class for political patronage.

When I see these useful idiot, young, white progressives carrying signs that say, “Stop Killing Black People,” I just shake my head. Why are they not in Chicago? What about the little one-year old black child, who did survive not being aborted, killed in the womb, to be killed just a year later by gunfire from other Blacks?

I will congratulate the left on a brilliant marketing campaign of yelling “squirrel” and having the entire black community chase after their narrative of choosing. The NAACP and BLM are connected by their being created by white leftists who place black faces in charge for their manipulative purposes. They keep the Black community distracted and deceived.

The Black community needs to stop aligning itself with these progressive, socialist, statist, Marxist, and communist organizations that need victims. Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Saul Alinsky are not the kinda fellas the Black community should follow.

My ideological mentor is Booker T. Washington. He is without a doubt the Father of Black Conservatism. And he never embraced any ideologies that were antithetical to our fundamental principles and values as a constitutional Republic. And he never renounced his American citizenship.

It was Washington who once said, “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

And we all know that race hustling has become a very profitable business in America.

LOCKDOWN #2 BEGINS


Armstrong Blog/Conspiracy

Posted Jul 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

In Europe, several places (cities and entire regions within a number of countries) have already locked down for a second time, and many others have returned to stricter rules (masks, quarantines and forced testing when coming from abroad, etc) barely a couple of weeks after having relaxed those rules a bit. They are deliberately shutting down the world economy to further this Great Reset. What these elitists fail to grasp is that the wholesale destruction of the world economy is not going to be smoothed over with Guaranteed Basic Income and hoping people are content to live in this new communistic world where individualism is dead.

They have realized that it is best NOT to let up and try to keep people locked down and terrorized rather than allow them freedom and then try a second lockdown September-October with the next flu season.

This is NOT the Black Plague and the wholesale destruction of the world economy will bankrupt another 20%+ of all small businesses and further their agenda to NATIONALIZE companies. They are using this virus, that they may have planted, to achieve this dramatic Marxist Revolution. They have divided people into groups and furthered the hatred to the point that they will be turning violent against each other. This is how even the Nazis succeeded in gaining power — divide and conquer to the point they will seek government and surrender all liberty to restore safety.

Welcome to the NEW REAL MARXIST WORLD ORDER.

Even in California, you really have to wonder why that state is so left. The people lit up the sky on the fourth of July DESPITE the nasty draconian politicians who imposed a $50,000 fine per person. They are fining people up to $2,000 in some parts for not wearing a mask. This is just insane.

World Economy Preparing for Collapse


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics

Re-Posted Jul 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The world has changed dramatically in the course of this orchestrated and intended collapse of the global economy in order to launch this Great Reset. In the course of several months, we have watched a deliberate economic disaster under the pretense of this coronavirus pandemic. While the main objective of one group has been the create a New Green World Order, they relied upon Socialists who realize that their economic dreams are also collapsing. As a result, this combined force is out to change the world and the real agenda is the New Green Socialist Agenda. They have pretended that there has been this huge tragically large number of human lives being lost when more people die from car crashes. They have deliberately terrorized people to achieve their agenda.

They have embarrassed politicians and countries into implementing quarantines, social distancing, and have locked down the world population where NOTHING of such a magnitude has EVER taken place in 6,000 years of recorded history. These drastic practices to contain this exaggerated pandemic have unleashed a Sovereign Debt Crisis our computer has been forecasting but never in my personal imagination w3ould I have ever anticipated that this would be deliberate.

 

 

The cost of this Great Lockdown is virtually beyond comprehension. We are witnessing people hoarding cash around the world. The magnitude and speed of collapse in economic activity that has followed is unlike anything experienced in our lifetimes. Yet the real trend starting to unfold is the collapse in public confidence. We are now even beginning to see runs on banks to hoard cash in China as well. Our sources in China are reporting that the People’s Bank of China initiated a strategic plan in the Hebei province which requires retail and business clients to pre-report any large withdrawals or deposits. They will expand this program in October to other provinces.

On a global scale, lenders around the world, including China, are facing a surge in bad debt as a direct result of this Great Lockdown. The world economy is facing a tsunami of bad debt that is bringing about an economic recession/depression into 2022. Even in China, the economic outlook is one of the slowest economic growth in four decades. In China, the government regulators were forced to step in last month to prevent bank runs at two local lenders in Hebei and Shanxi. Last year, China bailed out and even took over several struggling banks. In China, much of the loans were on real estate which has been forced to contract as social-distancing impacted the freedom of movement.

 

Our warning of the pending Monetary Crisis Cycle and the simultaneous Sovereign Debt Crisis Cycle has created a world economic outlook that is just beyond ANYTHING we have witnessed in over 300 years. This is How Empires, Nations, and City-States die.

Maxwell & the Billionaire Club


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy

Re-Posted Jul 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The word on the street is that Jeffrey Epstein’s friend and alleged procurer Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to talk and name names. Let’s hope Maxwell does not also commit suicide. I find this entire affair way too simple. Calling it just an underage sex ring is neat and simple. However, there are far too many tentacles that stretch out around the globe and to people who would not simply be blackmailed for money — but political favors and power.

 

Bill Gates flew on the Lolita Express in 2013 with Jeffrey Epstein as reported in the Daily Mail in London. He flew with Epstein several times. Epstein was also a supporter of eugenics. He wanted to have at least 20 young girls pregnant on his ranch at the same time to further populate the world with his genes. Gates is said to have commented on his lifestyle and said while it was interesting, it was not for him.

I see this situation as having two paths. The current one of just grooming young girls for sex with his friends is a bit too easy. If the friends were just rich people who would pay, that may fly. But we are talking about princes and former presidents. One of the girls, Giuffre, as part of her sworn testimony, stated that she met former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, but she did not implicate them in joining in on the sex. This raises the question of why were such men connected to Epstein if there was no sex? There is something lurking behind this curtain which is more than money — it is power.

Path (1) would be that they were all just into eugenics which would explain why even Bill Gates was willing to give him $30 million.

Path (2) is to entrap high profile players with underage girls to use for political blackmail to achieve much grander schemes.

What I do know is that there is a far more serious connection via Maxwell to the “club” of bankers who have over the past decades been involved in manipulating markets. The other mystery has been where did Epstein get his money? Ohio billionaire Leslie Wexner of Victoria Secret said that Epstein misappropriated money from his accounts. The real question remains — will this just be a sex scandal, or will it lead to a journey (that Socialists would love to expose) to undermine the billionaire club?

Global Trade – Boris Johnson Nominates Liam Fox to Lead World Trade Organization…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on July 8, 2020 by 

President Trump and the U.S. economic team have held a policy perspective that the World Trade Organization (WTO) is no longer a useful functioning body to mediate global trade issues.  At the center of that view are two issues:

First that WTO rules and regulations do not support American economic interests; and secondly, that WTO processes still provide China with favorable benefits as an “emerging nation” despite their scale. As a result the Trump administration has been positioning for a withdrawal from a dysfuctional WTO.

In an effort to keep the WTO intact, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has nominated a pro-Brexit/pro-America trade minister, Liam Fox, to become the next Director General.

(Via Fox News) – The British government on Wednesday announced that it was nominating former International Trade Secretary Liam Fox to head the World Trade Organization – selecting a strongly pro-Washington candidate at a time when the U.S. is debating quitting the trade body.

“Dr. Fox is a passionate advocate of multilateralism, who brings detailed knowledge of the global trading system from his years as a U.K. cabinet minister and secretary of state for international trade,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a letter to the Geneva-based organization. “He has first-hand experience of the political and technical challenges of negotiating trade agreements and the reforms that are needed to ensure the global trading system truly delivers for all WTO members.”

Britain was one of a number of members of the organization to put forward nominations for a replacement for Director-General Roberto Azevedo, who is stepping down in August after seven years leading the body.

The eventual pick needs to win the consensus from all member states.

Fox was a strong supporter of the ultimately successful campaign for Britain to leave the European Union in 2016. Britain formally left the bloc earlier this year and entered a transition phase due to expire at the end of the year.

He has also been a vocal advocate for close ties between Britain and the U.S., meaning that if picked he could help blunt calls from Washington for the U.S. to leave the bloc. In a statement welcoming his nomination, he indicated that he would push to reform the organization.  (more)

[Transcript] – PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. (Applause.) Please. Thank you very much. Thank you. This evening, we are honored to welcome President López Obrador, the entire Mexican delegation, and many distinguished guests to a White House working dinner. We’ve been working all day, and we’ll be working for a little while longer. But it’s an honor to have you in the White House. Tonight’s gathering follows a productive day of meetings and concludes an exceptional visit, in which we made tremendous strides on behalf of our countries.

To your great President, I would just like to say that it’s been a profound privilege to have you with us today, and it’s a profound privilege to have you as my friend. We’ve had a great relationship, right from the beginning. And I think that maybe was against all odds. (Laughter.) A lot of people were betting against it, but they’ve learned not to bet against us, I suspect. (Laughter.) I know they’ve learned that in Mexico.

The people of Mexico and the United States are joined together by shared values, shared faith, and shared future on this beautiful continent. We’re both proud, sovereign nations built over generations by the sweat, sacrifice, and devotion of hardworking people who love their country and who give everything they have to create a better life for their beautiful children.

In the United States, the extraordinary contributions of Mexican Americans are felt in every industry, every community, and every facet of our nation. From art, to commerce, to science, to medicine, the Mexican people are incredible. They upheld our highest values: God, family, and country. They launch small businesses, propel industries, and they serve heroically in police departments and in our great military.

As we gather tonight, we reflect on all that our two people have accomplished together over the span of many generations, and we embrace the incredible opportunities that lay ahead.

We’re each blessed with a vast land that touches both of the world’s great oceans, extraordinary natural resources, and above all, we’re blessed with some of the most spirited, adventurous, determined, and talented people on the face of the Earth. It’s all about the people.

Mr. President, I’m certain that together we can unlock a future of even greater potential for our children, prosperity for our people, safety for our citizens, and pride for our countries.

With today’s visit, I’ve never been more confident that the future of this precious relationship and the destiny of this majestic continent will never be in better hands and never had a better future.

Once again, I want to thank you and all of your representatives for being here today. It’s a great honor. It’s a great honor to be with you. Thank you very much.

I’d now like to invite President López Obrador to say a few words on behalf of the incredible people of Mexico. Thank you. (Applause.)

PRESIDENT LÓPEZ OBRADOR: (As interpreted.) Friends, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to be brief. People say that: good and brief, twice as good.

I could only say that I subscribe everything said, everything mentioned by President Donald Trump.

We are countries — we are peoples, neighbors, brothers and sisters. We want to maintain good relationship — economic, trade, commercial levels, socially, and culturally as well.
And that’s the purpose of this visit.

As we’ve already said earlier today, this is the beginning of a new stage. We have signed a new agreement for — a free trade agreement, yes — among Canada, the United States, and Mexico. And with this new agreement, we are going to strengthen the economy of our region, North America. That’s a purpose which is fundamental — a fundamental purpose, and of course very good news for the inhabitants of all three countries.

This agreement has two new elements that help integrate the region and to potentiate the region. First of all, it sets forth that merchandise produced in our region in North America should have a high regional content. That is, even though we’re talking about auto parts, for instance, if it’s really any type of a consumer good or product, it does have to have something produced in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The other element that I believe fundamental and of great justice is guaranteeing better salaries, better labor conditions for workers of all three countries. This was not included in the previous agreement. That’s why we are just so happy to be here in the White House in this event, in the ceremony.

And I also come here to this dinner I was invited to by my friend, President Donald Trump, accompanied by businessmen from Mexico. Outstanding businessmen and women — not only because they invest, produce, they generate jobs, but also because they have a social dimension. They are thinking not only about accumulating revenues and profits, but also for things to go well for all of us, for all of us to do fine, for our people to also do well.

That’s why we are so appreciative of this reception, President Trump. And, in effect, the forecasts failed; we’re not fighting. We are friends, and we shall continue being friends.

Thank you very much. (Applause.)

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you very much.
