Sunday Talks: Steven Schrage Appears to Discuss His Role in “Spygate”…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on August 9, 2020 by 

We have a saying in the south: ‘hang around a one-legged man long enough and eventually you’re gonna start limping‘.  This interview is an example of how that cuts through the BS, spin and political chaff and countermeasures.  Steven Schrage should be trusted as far as you can spit into a hurricane – which is to say, not at all.

First, in an article to accompany his media effort, Schrage waxes philosophical and woefully about how his years-long good friend and phd supervisor, Stephan Halper, the one-legged character in the metaphor, turned out to be a politically motivated snake and spy.  Oh, but all the years previous this wasn’t noticed?  Not buying it.

Second, Schrage sat and watched Michael Flynn and Svetlana Lokhova get raked over the coals for three+ years only now, right now, to find his conscience bothered by his participation in assisting the lies pushed by his friend against them?  Isn’t that convenient timing?… Yeah, sure. I might have been born at night, but I wasn’t born last night.

Third, Schrage notes he was interviewed by John Durham. Horsepucky. Durham doesn’t interview anyone; someone else does, someone very specific; and the fact that Schrage has no clue who that person is implies an aspect to the side-show he now presents as total nonsense.  In short, this is a distraction story…. Look over there…. shiny things.

.

I’ve watched and researched these intelligence characters for so long their M.O. screams like visible strings on marionettes. And yes, once you see the strings it’s impossible to return to a time when you did not see them. This interview is a purposeful ruse.

[His article here]

I also do not fault Matt Taibbi or Maria Bartiromo for falling for it.

Devin Nunes was right about Schrage a YEAR AGO:

[…] What you have there is, you have an American citizen, somebody who’s long been involved in politics, and the guy’s name is Steven Schrage. Now, knows that the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee, the FBI, we want to talk to anyone and everyone who was dealing with Carter Page and other Trump associates, especially in early 2016.

Schrage is the one who invited Carter Page to this event. Schrage is the one who organized this event. So — but instead of coming forward, a guy who’s been involved in politics for this long doesn’t come forward? I want to know, did he know about the Steele dossier at that time? When did he find out about the Steele dossier? Did he have control of the Steele dossier at any time? Did he give it to anyone?

Those are the types of things that Steven Schrage needs to come clean on, because, you know, look, maybe he was just a guy working for minimum wage sweeping the floors around Cambridge. I highly doubt it.

And the fact that he hasn’t come forward in two-and-a-half years is highly suspect. Now, when you look at the other Brits that were involved there, Maria, if you — this also ties in with General Flynn, because these Brits were the ones who went public and said — specifically, Christopher Andrew said that General Flynn had a Russian girlfriend.  (more)

Nice try…

Sunday Talks: Senator Graham Defends The Senate Role in Trying to Remove President Trump…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on August 9, 2020 by 

Senator Lindsay Graham appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to profess his public outrage about the senate being lied to by the FBI in 2018. {Go Deep}

In essence what Graham is doing is establishing the defense of the Senate for their role in attempting to remove President Donald Trump. ie. Selective Outrage.

The simple way to identify Graham’s motive is this way:…  The SSCI was aware of this briefing in 2018 right?  So why didn’t any SSCI member step forth after the Horowitz report in 2019 and say they were mislead?… or at any time after the truth of the primary sub-source was evident?   It does not take the public release of briefing material, two years later, to initiate senate outrage if senate outrage was genuine.

Graham wasn’t outraged when the senate knew about it, he becomes outraged when the public knows about it.  See how the application of common sense works?

 

Methinks Graham doth protest too much. The more he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted the spoons.

Senator Lindsay Graham Releases FBI Talking Points for SSCI Briefing February 14, 2018 – Graham Positioned to Defend SSCI…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on August 9, 2020 by 

Today Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsay Graham released a set of talking points [full pdf below – AND here] from the FBI during a briefing on February 14, 2018 to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

The unknown FBI briefer is informing the SSCI about the reliability of Chris Steele’s primary sub-source, and whether he agrees with the Dossier content & conclusions:

At first blush the impression from the release; and indeed the expressed position as outlined by Graham in the release; is that some unknown entity from the FBI was misleading the SSCI in February of 2018 about Christopher Steele and the perspective of his primary sub-source. However, there’s a deeper story.

Within the release it must be noted the date of the briefing material is February 14, 2018. The unknown FBI briefer is saying, in essence, the primary sub-source doesn’t dispute the Dossier material. Obviously this position is demonstrably false given how the PSS said the Dossier was full of “rumor”, “gossip”, “innuendo” and “bar talk”.

The FBI briefer is misleading the Senate and so today we see the angry position expressed by Graham as he reveals this misleading briefing. However, five days prior to this briefing, on February 9, 2018, the text messages between SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner and Chris Steele’s lawyer, Adam Waldman, were released. This frames the accurate context to consider the position of the SSCI and FBI briefer on Feb 14, 2018.

Yes, the FBI briefer was misleading the SSCI… However, the SSCI wanted to be mislead. This is how plausible deniability is built into the process. The SSCI was conducting an investigation of Trump-Russia; if we are honest the SSCI was participating in a process to weaponize the committee to advance a narrative against the interests of the Trump administration; therefore the SSCI and FBI briefer were aligned in common interest.

Lindsay Graham’s outrage over the misleading briefing is nothing more than an attempt to retroactively cover for the SSCI as they continued their role in the plot to remove President Trump throughout 2018 and 2019.  Graham is taking the purposefully built plausible deniability, assembled in 2018, and using it as a distraction today in 2020.

Graham knows the FBI lied, this is not a revelation. The FBI supported the DOJ letter July 12, 2018, that mislead the FISA Court five months after this misleading SSCI briefing. The current level of Graham outrage is ridiculous when considering he could have asked these same questions in April when the DOJ-NSD letter was released.

Who was the FBI official who reviewed the July 12th letter and supported its conclusions? The most likely answer is the same FBI official who did the SSCI briefing on Feb 14th. This is not rocket science dot-connecting.

The FBI Washington Field Office (WFO) conducted the interviews with Steele’s primary sub-source in Jan, March and May 2017. Yet I’ll bet you a donut it was not the FBI-WFO who was briefing congress…. there’s another layer of plausible deniability. This is how the system is set-up. Today, Lindsay Graham is playing an outrage game. Where was this outrage in April?

Here’s the full briefing material [Original pdf Here]

.

This is all connected back to FBI SSA Brian Dugan’s work.  The briefing was a way for the SSCI to establish plausible deniability five days after Vice-Chairman Mark Warner’s covert text messages were made public.

This is why the focus on the story behind SSCI Security Director James Wolfe is critical.  All of these granular machinations are connected to the objective to remove President Donald Trump.  The SSCI was supporting and coordinating with the special counsel.

It is all one team effort.

Let’s look at how the IG report frames the primary sub-source, and specifically notice the FBI contact and questioning took place in January 2017 (we now know that date to be January 12, 2017):

Those interviews with Steele’s primary sub-source took place in January, March and May of 2017; and clearly the sub-source debunked the content of the dossier itself.

Those interviews were a year before the Feb 14, 2018, FBI briefing outlined by Lindsay Graham today.

Those interviews were also 18-months, 16-months and 14-months ahead of the July 2018 DOJ letter to the FISC.   The DOJ-NSD says the sub-source was “truthful and cooperative” but the DOJ doesn’t tell the court the content of the truthfulness and cooperation.  Why?

Keep in mind this activity to support the Dossier and by extension the FISA application to the SSCI and FISC was written by AAG John Demers in July 2018 and briefed to congress in February 2018.  Jeff Sessions was Attorney General (firewalled), Rod Rosenstein was Deputy AG (providing no special counsel oversight); Christopher Wray was FBI Director, David Bowditch is Deputy, and Dana Boente is FBI chief-legal-counsel.

Why would the FBI mislead the senate intelligence committee?  Why would the DOJ-NSD not be forthcoming with the FISA court about the primary sub-source?

This level of disingenuous withholding of information speaks to an institutional motive.

In February and July 2018 the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the SSCI and FISC and even went to far as to say the predicate was still valid.  Why?

It doesn’t take a deep-weeds-walker to identify the DOJ motive.

In Feb-July 2018 Robert Mueller’s investigation was at its apex.

This SSCI briefing and FISC letter, justifying the application and claiming the current information would still be a valid predicate therein, speaks to the 2018 DOJ needing to retain the validity of the FISA warrant.

My research shows it was the full control by the special counsel at play.  They needed to protect evidence the Mueller team had already extracted from their fraudulent FISA authority.  That’s the motive.

In February of July 2018 if the FBI, DOJ-NSD or special counsel had admitted the FISA application and all renewals were fatally flawed Robert Mueller would have needed to withdraw any evidence gathered as a result of its exploitation.

The FBI and DOJ in 2018 was protecting Mueller’s poisoned fruit.

If the DOJ had been honest with the court, there’s a strong possibility some, perhaps much, of Mueller evidence gathering would have been invalidated… and cases were pending.  The solution: mislead the court and claim the predication was still valid.

This is not simply a hunch, because that motive also speaks to why the FISC would order the current DOJ to release the July 12, 2018, letter.

Remember, in December 2019 the FISC received the IG Horowitz report; and they immediately noted the disparity between what IG Horowitz outlined about the FBI investigating Steele’s sub-source, as contrast against what the DOJ told them in July 2018.

Both the February FBI briefing and the July DOJ letter are transparent misrepresentation when compared to the information in the Horowitz report.  Hence, the FISA court ordered  the DOJ to release the July letter so that everyone, including congressional oversight and the public can see the misrepresentation.  Unfortunately the “congressional oversight” aspect was/is aligned with the scheme.

The FISA court was misled; the SSCI was willfully mislead; now everyone can see it.

The content of that FBI briefing and DOJ-NSD letter, and the subsequent disparity, points to an institutional cover-up; and as a consequence the FISC also ordered the DOJ to begin an immediate sequestration effort to find all the evidence from the fraudulent FISA application.  The proverbial fruit from the poisonous tree…. And yes, that is ongoing.

Lindsay Graham is still playing cover-up to protect the Senate.  Nothing more.

Graham could have demanded these same answers in April of this year.  He didn’t.

The Sad State of The World


“The State of The World is Worse Today than it Was in 1938”

The World has always taken a beating from humans, but those beatings have now become potentially much larger.

Yesterday a horrific and powerful bomb detonated in Beirut, killing a great many. I read it was 1/5th the strength of the Hiroshima bomb. Our condolences to the victims.

The blast might be explained away as an accident (I doubt it–how could huge amount of dangerous chemicals be allowed to remain stockpiled so close to a major city? More likely it was set off intentionally to accomplish a goal known only to its perpetrators. Beirut was once listed among the most beautiful (and stable) cities in the world before it became a crossroads for war.

The United States was also beautiful and stable for a long while, thanks to our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Now the Marxists are ruining our cities and they want to destroy our country. The mass media and the Democrats are aligned with this. Too many powerful people at the top seem to want a Chinese communist system and they’re using their scamdemic as leverage to get it.

While we have all experienced ‘world weariness’ from time to time, the World has had to endure it for countless centuries because mankind’s follies are endless.

Today’s Rioters are the Evil Spawn of the Rioters from the 1960’s


Starting in the mid 60’s and running though most of the 70’s a large contingent of the babies born between 1944 and 1964 known as the “me generation” or the “boomer generation” started to rebel against the existing political system and society in general.  The trigger for the rebellion was the Vietnam war and the draft of young men to be sent to war. However,  it quickly spread to encompass many other issues like race, gender and sexuality, leading to the culture wars in the 80’s. It was a very turbulent time as society was totally changed by the boomers. If you care to read about it I recommend the book The Fourth Turning An American Prophecy  by Strauss and Howe. The amassing thing about this book is that they predicted what we are going though right now back in 1997.

Back then 1970’s

That was the background that we grew up in and most of us turned out just fine; however there was another groups of mostly rich kids that turned out to be very bad. Their parents were the first of the Progressives who believed in the principles of Marxism; not so much in the open as the cloaked themselves in terms like socialism. and social justice and well today we have BLM and Antifa to name just a few, which are direct extensions of the movements in the late 60’s and early 70’s. To many today, who were not alive back then, they wonder where these movements came from.

Today 2020

The answer is found in their writing and more specifically in a book they published om May 9, 1974.  The authors are: Bernadine Dohrn, Billy Ayers, Jeff Jones and Celia Sojourn. These were hard core radicals following the teaching of Saul D. Alinsky in his Book Rules for Radicals in which he taught how to make social change meaning a way to get to Marxism. This group and others goal was to fundamentally change America into a Communist country. The bock they published in 1974 outside what they wanted and do be honest the movement today will give them what they desired when they published Prairie Fire, The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Americanism. Rather than write about it just download it and read it yourself. The copy I have a a copy of the pages in that book and so of the quality is poor but it is readable. In private the discussed the cost to make the change they wanted and it was that 25% of the US population would need to die. Before you dismiss  that the Russian and Chinese conversion to Marxism cost each of those countries a much high percentage of their population.

PrairieFire-reprint

The movement today is a combination of Marxism and Environmentalism and is a very dangerous combination, the code word for it is The Great Rest also a New Future and a New Green Deal. There are other posts on my blog that explain what this is.

9 REASONS JOE BIDEN'S MENTAL FITNESS MUST BE TESTED IMMEDIATELY

SIGN PETITION TO DEMAND JOE BIDEN BE TESTED FOR COGNITIVE FITNESS

It’s illegal to run a mentally incompetent candidate for office since it’s a nomination based on fraud, a bait and switch, for someone who can’t lead. If Joe were nominated, he’d be removed before the vote. Therefore, the Democrat Party will choose his replacement. Currently, the DNC is run by the farthest Left radicals, so will choose a far leftist replacement, unelectable in normal times.  But Joe is not competent to even run a Scouting troop. So why do Democrats insist he’s fit enough to lead America?

WHY WE MUST DEMAND BIDEN BE TESTED FOR MENTAL COMPETENCE NOW!

  • Joe Biden is Running for US President in Less Than 90 DaysWe will choose a president on November 3rd, 2020. It matters if a candidate is incompetent.
  • Biden Stated August 5th He’s Not Been Tested & Won’t Allow Cognitive ExamBiden asked Black journalist who mentioned mental fitness test he was a drug junky. Biden must be tested to protect America! Does Biden have racist ideas influenced by dementia?
  • Biden is 77 Years Old Now – He’ll be 85 in Second Term.Biden’s public events are a treasure trove of error. Biden gaffes. “Truth Over Facts.”
  • Biden is Mostly in Basement, Reading Scripts for Heavily Edited Taped StatementsJoe Biden hardly ever leaves his basement with the excuse of “Covid Protection.”Is it fair to hide loony Joe??? Biden gaffes. “Truth Over Facts.” Even edited, Biden screws up.

SIGN PETITION TO DEMAND JOE BIDEN BE TESTED FOR COGNITIVE FITNESS

CONCLUSION: SIGN PETITION DEMANDING BIDEN’S MENTAL FITNESS BE TESTED

COVID Is No Reason To Empty Prisons


Our country’s priorities are completely out of order

COVID Is No Reason To Empty Prisons

In America today, millions of churchgoers are not allowed to practice their faith in their place of worship and certain business owners are not allowed to welcome customers, but hardened criminals are being released from prison. This insanity is producing predictably deadly results.

Under the guise of protecting prisoners from the spread of Covid-19, large numbers of dangerous criminals are being freed from custody. This is creating a horrific situation that is endangering the public and has now led to the death of a witness in a rape case.

Rape, Sodomy, Abduction, Strangulation and Burglary

In Alexandria, Virginia, rape suspect Ibrahim E. Bouaichi was released from prison in April because of concerns that he would contract Covid-19. Even though Bouaichi was indicted on serious charges such as rape, sodomy, abduction, strangulation and burglary, former presiding Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins ordered his release on a $25,000 bond.

Despite the warnings from prosecutors that Bouaichi was a danger to the community, Dawkins released him to home confinement. This was an incredibly unwise decision because he was a danger to not only the community at large, but also to an especially vulnerable individual, Karla Elizabeth Dominguez Gonzalez, who accused him of rape last December and testified against him.

Sadly, on July 29, Ms. Dominguez was found shot to death. Local law enforcement authorities identified Bouaichi as her murderer. This week, he was spotted by police, a chase ensued leading to a car crash. Bouaichi shot himself before he could be apprehended by police. He is currently in critical condition in the hospital.

None of this tragedy needed to happen. If Bouaichi would have been kept in prison, where he belonged, his accuser would still be alive, and taxpayers would not be paying for the medical care of a murder suspect in critical condition.

This disturbing trend of releasing prisoners and endangering the public has been going on all over the country since the beginning of this pandemic. Liberals are using the fear of Covid-19 to accomplish their goal of emptying the prisons.

Priority should not be the health of prisoners, but the safety of the public

There has been an undue concern for the health of prisoners during this pandemic. In fact, the priority should not be the health of prisoners, but the safety of the public.

It is extraordinarily reckless to release hardened criminals from prison, regardless of the spread of Covid-19. Our nation’s public health officials are constantly recommending masks as a way for the American people to stay safe. Thus, prison officials should distribute masks to all inmates, keep them socially distant whenever possible and liberally provide hand sanitizers. If this strategy works for the law-abiding public, it should work for prisoners as well.

Instead, menacing criminals like Bouaichi are being released and innocent people like Ms. Dominguez are being killed. The authorities involved in this tragedy, such as Judge Dawkins, have blood on their hands.

In the past few months, thousands of criminals have been discharged from prison, needlessly endangering the public at large. It is one of the reasons that crime has been increasing in America recently.

For example, in mid-March, Joseph Williams was one of 150 inmates released from prison in Hillsborough County, Florida because there was worry that inmates would become infected with Covid-19. Several days later, local sheriff deputies arrested Williams for his involvement in a homicide that took place one day after his release from prison. He was charged with second degree murder.  According to Chad Chronister, the Sheriff of Hillsborough County, “There is no question Joseph Williams took advantage of this health emergency to commit crimes while he was out of jail.”

Push toward mail-in ballots, shutting down the schools and the economy and the non-stop health warnings

In April, a convicted child molester, Rudy William Grajeda Magdaleno, was released from prison in Orange County California. The reason for the release was concerns relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. Not surprisingly, just two weeks later, Magdaleno was arrested again after exposing himself to others at a parole resource center.

By the end of August, California will release 8,000 inmates from incarceration to lessen the spread of Covid-19 within their prison facilities. Supposedly, prison officials are releasing only those offenders who are non-violent or near the end of their sentence. Unfortunately, it seems these criteria are being expanded at the expense of public safety.

In July, California prison officials released Tereba Williams, who still had 64 years left on her sentence. She was convicted of murdering Kevin Ruska in 2001. In this gruesome case, Williams held Ruska at gunpoint, forced him into a car trunk, shot him, drove him 750 miles away, tied him up and left him to die in a motel room in the state of Washington. He was dead before he was eventually found.

Her release was not well received by Mr. Ruska’s family. His cousin, Karri Phillips, said that “It’s appalling to me everything that’s been allowed to happen. I don’t think for one second she’s going to walk out there a changed person, she’s not.” Unfortunately, all of Mr. Ruska’s family now must worry about this irresponsible release. Since she was convicted of murder, Williams should not have been released under any circumstances.

Along with the push toward mail-in ballots, shutting down the schools and the economy and the non-stop health warnings, another consequence of the over-reaction to Covid-19 has been the incredibly reckless release of violent criminals from prison. It has put the public at unnecessary risk while besmirching the memory of innocent victims and injuring their family members once again. To say the least, our country’s priorities are completely out of order.

The ‘ObamaGate’ Video Trumps The Democrat National Convention


This is what the Democrats carried forth all the way from the 2016 election—and can’t possibly walk back

The ‘ObamaGate’ Video Trumps The Democrat National Convention

Forget the popcorn but remember the antacid and keep a copy of Trump’s latest campaign ad,  the ‘ObamaGate’ video on hand, because the Democrat National Convention gets underway a week from this Monday.

“This new ad from the Trump campaign sets up a narrative they will use against Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden, accusing him and former President Barack Obama of having conspired to undermine the Trump administration from the start. (RealClearPolitics, Aug. 6, 2020)

““It’s a real conspiracy and no one is talking about it,” the ad states.”

The Convention will be the Grand Finalé of Election 2016 spread over three not-so-short days.

It will be strictly digital, strictly digital being Social Distancing Democrat style.

Viewers will be repeatedly warned that going out to vote on November 3 is guaranteed to have them catch the virus, and will be urged to mail-in their ballots instead.

But the overriding theme of the 3-day convention will be “IT” (everything bad)  is President Donald Trump’s fault.  The pandemic (now in decline), the mobs rampaging out on the streets—“EVERYTHING!”

The pandemic known as Covid-19 is all Trump’s fault.  He must have snuck into China and brought it back, and like Johnny Appleseed spread it through the whole frontier.

Systemic racism , which only came about after Nov. 8, 2016 is all his fault too, themes you’ll hear ad nauseum as the desperado Dems let the public in on who will be Joe Biden’s mouthpiece as vice president.

Latest Campaign Ad By Trump Campaign Points to #OBAMAGATE

“The speaking lineup for this month’s Democratic National Convention is beginning to take form, with several high-profile Democrats securing spots. (The Hill, Aug. 7, 2020)

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a progressive superstar, is expected to have some sort of speaking slot, a House member told Politico, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will also speak, according to Axios.”

Yes, you read that right.  AOC is not just a leader of the Squad but a verifiable Democrat.  Besides, DNC organizers had to do something to keep the Bernie Sanders’ gang clamor down to a dull roar.

“Warren and Clinton are reportedly slated to speak on Aug. 19, the day before former Vice President Joe Biden will formally accept the 2020 Democratic nomination. (The Hill)

No telling which one will out screech the other.

“Other Democrats expected to have speaking slots are Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, whom Joe will not confuse as his sister this time, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and, of course, “Resistance” leaders Barack and Michelle Obama. (The Hill)

“Both Warren and Harris are known to be on Biden’s shortlist to be his running mate.

“Neither the Democratic National Committee nor the convention immediately responded to requests for comment from The Hill.”

Of course not, who needs to get back to any news outlet when the entire digital world is their oyster.

“The convention has largely been relegated to digital events so participants can observe social distancing and other health guidance during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Biden was originally slated to deliver his acceptance speech from Milwaukee, but will now do so virtually from Delaware, his home state.” (The Hill)

We won’t know until Aug.17-20 whether BLM and antifa activists will be told to tone it down in order to get all eyes and ears on convention speakers, or to beef up street violence in order to show that the president’s not in control.

“On Tuesday, President Trump joined FOX Business’ Lou Dobbs for an exclusive interview where the two discussed several topics including the 2020 presidential election, the coronavirus pandemic, and U.S.-China relations. (PublishedReporter, Aug. 6, 2020)

“Trump called into the Dobbs’ show for a live half-hour of details on democrats including talks about the investigation taking part by U.S. Attorney John Durham which Dobbs’ ensured to ask about before the interview concluded and Trump said that the probe, requested by United States Attorney General William Barr, has uncovered “breathtaking” evidence about the “corrupt” origins of the Russia investigation, according to Trump.”

Meanwhile, for the sake of holding on to sanity, download the ObamaGate video and keep it on hand between August 17 and August 20.

This is what the Democrats carried forth all the way from the 2016 election—and can’t possibly walk back.

Trump & Abolishing the Income Tax


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics

Re-Posted Aug 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: No matter what you deny, you are advising Trump. He quotes you often and now he is taking your position that taxes are irrelevant and should be abolished. He has also said that he would create a permanent tax holiday for those earning less than $100,000 if he is reelected. Stop denying this.

GG

REPLY: Granted, he has used the language in my letters. This idea of abolishing taxes has been my position. We run deficits anyway and taxes will never balance the budget. They were needed when money was a physical coin. But it is just electronic today. We spend so much on tax collection and then the entire class warfare is always over confiscating assets of one group to had to another. Abolishing taxes was laid out in the Solution CD.

I am NOT advising Trump. I do not speak to him on the phone nor have I seen him since I attended a private event at his Florida compound. There are plenty of people who read this blog and the private blog in Washington. What information others pass on is out of my direct control. I am not interested in working at the White House. Who really cares where he takes his advice? Your tone seems hostile and I suspect you are trying to create a link between us only for political purposes. Sorry! You are barking up the wrong tree!

To understand the confrontation between the USA and Russia, and the future of the world monetary system, it is always important to listen to the opposition to gain some insight into the thinking process.
