In Two days on April 5th Wisconsin could help Make America Great Again!


Listen to this short 12 minutes speech by Stephen Miller which he gave  yesterday in Racine Wisconsin. Stephen was a former staff member of the Senator Jeff Sessions policy team and he joined the Trump campaign about a month ago. Speaking for Mr Trump as his senior policy advisor Stephen  gave this speech outlining the stakes in the 2016 presidential race which are so critical that they could literally be the the end of the country if we go not stop the Washington Cartel of which Senator Ted Cruz is a member in good standing.

Politically Correct Insanity

Political Correct

“The Associated Press Stylebook” lists all the “politically correct” terms you should use. The term “Islamist” is now defined as “An advocate or supporter of a political movement that favors reordering government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam.” They go on to explain you should not use the term Islamic “fighters, militants, extremists, or radicals” and instead state “al-Qaida-linked, Hezbollah, Taliban, etc.”

The Press & Establishment Accuse Farage & Trump of Racism


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Mar 30, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Trump-Farage

Those in power who have something to lose follow the same pattern of attacks. They are using the very same tactics against Trump & Farage portraying them as Racists because both are against immigration but really against the establishment. When I was in London, I bumped into the very same team from the USA that helped Clinton win the White House were there helping Tony Blair. This is a business, and they know how to pull it all together. They turn trying to protect your border and culture into racism. The implication is obvious. Everyone should intermarry regardless of sex, race, or religion. If a parent is against that statement for their child, then obviously they must be a racist.

1844 Phila Nativism Riot Againt Irish

Immigration has always been a historical issue that rises whenever the economy turns down. During the 1840s, it turned into violence on the streets. They were Irish who were Christian and white. It was just that they were taking jobs in an economic decline. Farage’s UKIP is being portrayed as racist and what is the alternative? Opening borders in this time and place has nothing to do with racism any more than it did in the 1840s. These are economic declining times and absolutely the WRONG instant to bring in any immigrants whatsoever regardless of race or religion.

Nevertheless, this is how Trump and Farage are being portrayed and the less intelligent to the less sophisticated buy this nonsense and repeat it. The end result is rather blunt. Historically, this is just simply how the West falls – the same as Rome. There were laws passed to prevent intermarriage. It was even outlawed for a man to marry one of his slaves. There has always been the attempt to prevent the dilution of a culture for that is how it typically ends anyway. Throughout history, people swarm into the core economy and then bring it down. The Muslim invasion of Europe shows that nearly 80% of the migrants are not even from Syria. This is simply how it all ends. The interesting aspect is that a Muslim friend of mine in Europe is even more against the migrants for they see them as the lower class and less educated who are indoctrinated with religious beliefs that are extreme. The Muslims I know in Europe and Russia are not extreme and live within a western society with harmony. If they are against the migration, it does not seem to really be a racist issue; just economic and that is what the propagandists are using because Trump and Farage are against the establishment – plain and simple.

So to those who want to say no, Trump and Farage supporters are racists, then they have no problem with your daughter marrying a different race migrant, changing their religion, and wearing a Hijab, niqab, or burka for the rest of their lives. If you have any problem with that, you must be a racist. Sorry – it’s politics as usual. (In my case, I told my daughter she better not bring home a prosecutor).

Why It’s Open Season On Donald Trump


He might not be the most diplomatic candidate but he is articulately blunt and has certainly got everyone’s attention in that huge US Presidential primary circus.

With our nation in apparent moral and cultural freefall it shouldn’t surprise us that the political climate is at best disheartening.

Written by the distinguished Bill Bennett about Donald Trump.
You might want to take the time to read it.
I think you will find it very interesting and alarming.

By Bill Bennett 

“They will kill him before they let him be president.  It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.

Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident.  Some people are getting very nervous:  Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.

It’s about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media.  They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all and all for one.  It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people.  We get ripped off.  We’re the patsies.  But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared.  The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund.  No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke.  He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald.  It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club.  They talk big, but they won’t change a thing.  They are all beholden to big-money donors.  They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil.  Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money.  But there’s one man who isn’t beholden to anyone.  There’s one man who doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher’s union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help.  That means he doesn’t care what the media says.  He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think.  That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests.  That makes Trump a huge threat to those people.  Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama?  Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama?  Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens?  Bizarre, right?  It defies logic, right?

First, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed.  Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed.  Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that.  The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account.  The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader.  They surveil everything.  Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.  Fourth , why rock the boat?  After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good old boy, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting.  The big-money interests have the system gamed.  Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules.  Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business.  All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency.  The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump.  Remember:  Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate.  He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.  Now, he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.  He’s questioning our relationship with Mexico; he’s questioning why the border is wide open; he’s questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he’s questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he’s questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he’s questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick.  Good question!  I’m certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website.  By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion.  Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying.  Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records.  Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election.  How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump.  They recognize this could get out of control.  If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant.  Trump’s election would be a nightmare.  Obama has committed many crimes.  No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute.  He will not hesitate.  Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama’s records, the game is over.  The goose is cooked.  Holder could wind up in prison.  Jarrett could wind up in prison.  Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.  Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi.  The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled.  Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.  Trump will investigate.  Trump will prosecute.  Trump will go after everyone involved.  That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

Yes, it’s become open season on Donald Trump.  The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates.  But they can’t silence him.  And they sure can’t intimidate him.  The more they try, the more the public will realize that he’s the one telling the truth”.

Sometimes the Impossible Becomes Possible


Armstrong Economics Blog

Re-Posted Mar 28, 2016 by Martin Armstrong

Impossible-Possible

hopeSome people can face adversity and others want to hide and pretend nothing is happening. What might seems to be impossible with respect to political reform to save our future, actually becomes entirely probable. What you have to grasp here is that the news may be negative. However, it is that negativity that finally lights that one remaining match creating an explosion. They say that HOPE is eternal; perhaps. But while I tried very hard to make a difference and work from the inside on Capitol Hill, it is true I gave up. What I saw led me to believe I was wasting my time and above all it was pointless.

RobberIf you are walking down the street and a guy comes up with a gun and says – Your money or your life? Do you begin to preach that it is illegal to have a gun without a license? Whatever the rules or law might be, such things are totally irrelevant. He has the gun and you do not.

I laugh at those who thing corporations are evil and ignore government. They are typically weak-minded and easily influenced by propaganda. I may not be a fan of NY Bankers who have engaged in manipulating markets and buying government to stay out of jail. But let’s make no mistake. They do not have the guns and tanks to rob us of our freedom. Only government can oppress the people by sheer force of arms. Nonetheless, politicians always blame the “rich” to get elected and never themselves.

Head in SandOur HOPE will be very simple. We have to CRASH AND BURN first. Without that pain, there is no reform and gain. Nobody will change anything before the system fails. It is unrealistic to see this message as BAD to justify hiding int the shadows. If you understand what is unfolding, the good news is you understand what the game is about and you can help in our time of need. We do not need someone hiding their head in the sand because if they do not comprehend how we have reached this point, they will be just blind fools handing more right to those who have created this nightmare. Therefore, what seems impossible (political reform) becomes possible only when the majority open their eyes.

The Presidential Election 2016, make or Break the Republic, Part Three


Great people can make a Great Country and all the American people are Great

If you are in doubt of American Exceptionalism:

  • Think of America as the nation that saved mankind from the tyranny of Nazi Germany;
  • Think of America as the nation that saved mankind from the tyranny of Soviet Communism;
  • Think of America as the only nation that can save mankind from Islamic totalitarianism;
  • Think of America and the sonnet written by the Jewess Emma Lazarus and engraved on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
  • Think of the Jewish navigator that discovered America;
  • Think of Divine Providence and elect a President that can make America Great Again.

The Presidential Election 2016, make or Break the Republic, Part Two


America at the Crossroad

Prof. Paul Eidelberg
If Ted Cruz, a constitutionalist, is not the choice of the GOP, America’s 2016 presidential election will probably be a contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton; and if Mrs. Clinton is elected, this would be a national disaster of the profoundest dimensions.

Without ignoring Trump’s vulgarity and egoism, this in-your-face tycoon is a populist or nationalist, whereas Mrs. Clinton is a self-effacing globalist or internationalist.

If elected President, Hillary, following two example of President Obama, would soon have the opportunity to fill two Supreme Court vacancies with liberal or left-wing internationalists.

This would effectively terminate America’s national sovereignty, together with the democratic principle of government by the consent of the governed. A revolution would then be around the corner.

On the other hand, if Hillary is the Democratic Party’s candidate, and if Trump is the choice of the GOP, the tycoon would have more than enough evidence to so expose Hillary – if he so desired – that she might never again be invited to give a public lecture!

However, such an exposé would be so sordid that it would demoralize the American people and trash the exalted principle of government by the consent of the governed!

America’s 2016 election may thus be the last of a once free and proud people, a people, however, that had already betrayed their Judeo-Christian heritage by twice electing a self-professed Muslim as their President.

The Decadence of the Presidential Debates
Prof. Paul Eidelberg

Hardly any present-day political analyst dares say that the decadence of the current presidential debates in America is a reflection of Democracy, a form of government that was scorned by all political philosophers until Machiavelli.

Democracy is the religion of the modern world, and though it has liberated the masses from slavery and tyranny, it has not fostered virtue and loftiness of mind. Indeed, the highest end of democratic politics today is comfortable self-preservation.

How ironic! While the college-educated leaders of American democracy are preoccupied with nothing higher than comfortable self-preservation, America’s deadly enemy, Islam, exalts death! Indeed, the mantra of Islam is encapsulated in Sura 9:111 of the Qur’an, which exalts the Muslim who “slays and is slain for Allah.” And lo and behold, some Americans, bored with the hedonism conspicuous in American democracy, have joined ISIS! I wonder whether any of them have gone to college where they imbibed the charming campus adage “I’m okay, you’re okay,” which in principle makes ISIS okay!

Let’s face it: America is steeped in moral anarchy or nihilism, but you would never know of this from the presidential debates. These so-called debates are not only intellectually dismal, they display a shameless egoism. They constitute a commentary on the dismal level of higher education in America. This education has stultified the minds of one generation of college students after another.

We are witnessing this degradation in the current presidential debates. It would be a grave error, however, merely to single out a particular culprit, since none of the participants exhibits either the intellectual capacity or the moral courage to expose the pernicious pedagogical doctrines that have been corrupting the minds of college students for at least two generations, as I have documented in a 1968 article published in the Congressional Record, an article emphatically relevant to decrepit foreign policy of the Obama Administration.
