With terrorism raging in Europe, Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary came out and publicly stated that the anti-terrorism proposals of Donald Trump make him the better option for Europe and Hungary. More and more people I talk to in Europe are silently in Trump’s corner. The more intense the attacks, the stronger their support grows for Trump.

Meanwhile, Eastern European countries are openly criticizing the European Commission quite bluntly. They are warning that the EU has learned nothing from the exit of Britain. They are now demanding reform and that local parliaments should have more say in the direction of their countries. Hungary also is now calling for a radical change of refugee policy in the EU. We are witnessing the fragmentation of Europe. The refugee issue has been the defining moment. The complete failure of Merkel to have consulted other members demonstrates that one person can seriously impact all of Europe and that defeats the federalist mode.

ECB Brings European Banks to the Brink of Disaster

ECB European Central Bank

ECB-HUNGARY-PORTUGALThe European banking crisis is spreading rapidly. There are now concerns in Italy and in Portugal as well. The ECB cannot even understand why people would not want to keep their money in banks with negative rates. They are simply incapable of managing the economy. The ECB is bringing Europe to the brink of a widespread banking collapse. Once this crisis becomes a contagion, there will be no stopping it.

Low rates will NOT encourage borrowing when banks have too much bad debt to begin with. The negative rates are sending savers to hoard cash outside of banks. It is amazing, but the ECB is in complete denial and unable to see that it must reverse its policy to prevent disaster.

Lagarde to stand Trial Negligence Fraud

Lagarde Christine imf

 

If Trump wins, he says he would prosecute Hillary for her crimes. At least in France, the courts are not as corrupt as they are in the United States. The highest court has ruled that the notorious head of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) Christine Lagarde  must stand trial for a financial scandal. Back in 2008, Largarde approved a payout of €400m to a businessman who was notorious and well connected politically. She is accused of negligence and would face a year in prison along with a €15,000 fine if convicted. She should resign from the IMF. I doubt she would do that one. The IMF spokesman came out and publicly stated that the Executive Board “continues to express its confidence in the Managing Director’s ability to effectively carry out her duties”. Just amazing.

The “Tripwire” Series – Moving Forward With 2016 Political Shifts…


I agree with that post 100% but I will add this from a military prospective. Back in the early ’60s the focus was on defeating communism (the USSR); when I went in in ’65 and became a Green beret our mission had been to be sent behind the iron curtain and bring down governments there. To achieve that we has special training on how it could be done. I’m long out of the military but I remember that training and I would bet a lot of money that the UniParty cabal will hire ex Special Operation soldiers and they will be gicen the money and means to take down Trump. This will be a military style operation with advanced weapons most likely former Russian spetsnaz.

The money envolved here is Yuge and taking out Trump would be worth million maybe even tens of millions — so do you realy thin with the stakes that Sundance has identified that is will not happen. Any keep in mind these people have access to all levels of the US government. Personally I do not think any form US military would be involved but with this kind of money anything is possible.

First Principles #4: Satan’s Plan by Treeper Cetera


The Inquisitor sounds like the Caliphate and the church would seem to be Islam, which is what I have allays thought after studying the cult of Islam. The Qur’an the Hadith and the Sira together with Sharia Law rule the Ummah with an iron had and their goal is world dominance with no room for any other thought — a perfect description of Satan and his plan as correctly described here.

Munich Shooter Identified as Ali Sonboly – Media Cultural Marxists Jump Into Action…


The Media are incapable of the truth as they are owned by the very people that have created this insane mess. The problem is they take no blame for what they do and worse they all profit from what they do and we play the price for what they do. The citizens of the EU must get rid of the EU before it destroys them and the citizens of the US must regain control of congress and elect Trump before its too late. Only them can we save our children our families our society and our countries from the evil that is spreading across the glob.

The only way the left can win anything is by hiding the truth of all their failures; which are many and very very bad.

French Parliament – Nullified – Get Ready for More Civil Unrest

Valls_Toulouse PM

After months of controversy over the labor market reform that was designed to end excessive socialism in France, the French Government has bypassed the final vote in Parliament altogether. Given the resistance in his own camp, Hollande and the Prime Minister Manuel Valls in the National Assembly are using a special rule that allows them to effectively circumvent the democratic process. This trick is to simply assume that the law is considered adopted unless a motion of censure against the government is provided and successful. That is considered extremely unlikely. Therefore, this is providing cover for the politicians who can say they never voted for such a reform of labor laws.

This labor reform should loosen labor laws and give companies more flexibility, and in this manner, they are hoping companies can easily create new jobs. The classic opponents fear for workers’ rights will vanish and several unions have repeatedly protested. They cannot see that their one-sided labor monopoly is destroying jobs and economic growth. This is part of the crash and burn. Still, the labor unions will fight for themselves and refuse to see that they themselves are causing the economic decline.

The French unions are notorious for their communistic ways. They themselves chase companies out of France. For decades, when we advised clients looking to establish plants inside the Eurozone prior to 1998, we always warned them against France. After being threatened with closure back in 2014, workers at a French Goodyear Tire factory outright kidnapped two company executives and held them hostage; promising to hold them until “enormous amounts of money” were paid to them. You cannot imagine why anyone would even want to be assigned to run a foreign company in France these days.

Labor reform is desperately needed in France, but the unions are effectively communistic organizations who will generally act only in their self-interest, even if it is against the interests of the people. So, this will only fuel our models for civil unrest moving forward.

Trump Effect: The EU, Turkey, NATO and Now Clinton Democrats Demand War…


We have been protecting the EU and Asia for the past 71 years since the end of WW II and paid the price in money and lives; and that was fine before we became broke with almost $20.0 Trillion in debt now. So what Trump is really saying is the once we are protecting need to pay for it and by that we mean 100% or we will need to pull out to save money that we no longer have.Would it be better if we had troops station all over, of course but where does the money come from to pay for it after Obama bankrupted the country?

First Principles – by Treeper Cetera


It is actually very simple you live by the Golden Rule or you live like an animal thinking only of yourself; the choice is yours to make no one can make it for you.
