The Golden Visa Program Begins

President Trump established the Golden Visa program to attract wealthy immigrants. The program will replace the EB-5 visa program, created in 1990, as a route to American citizenship for those willing to invest $1 million in an American company. Updated criteria now require a $5 million investment for fast-tracked citizenship, and the program has proved to be extremely popular.

Over 1,000 Gold Visas were purchased on the first day this policy was implemented, bringing $5 billion into the US economy. This is merely the beginning of the money that this program will generate. These individuals are far more likely to bring businesses to the US, leading to new job opportunities and, of course, lifelong and post-mortem taxation.

This program does not instantly grant US citizenship, but it is a faster pathway. Critics say they do not want to sell off American citizenship to the highest bidder, but a similar program was already in place. They believe Trump is simply favoring the wealthy while denying the poor opportunities, but they’re missing the mark. The majority of those in opposition favored open borders and demanded that everyone have access to the land of the free, regardless of how their presence would impact existing citizens. Immigration is possible through legal pathways. We were simply allowing an infinite number of people to cross into our nation, unvetted, and then demanded taxpayers subsidize their lives. It was a financial nightmare that quickly toppled state budgets and caused a drain on our entire system from health care to housing. These individuals applying for the Golden Visa can profoundly contribute to our economy, and their presence is the precise opposite of illegal migration, as they are providing opportunities for others through investments and job creation.

The program will be capped at 10,000 Golden Visas annually, according to the US State Department, and an additional 3,000 slots will be set aside for those willing to invest in areas facing low employment rates that need the capital and are currently void of job opportunities for many resident who do not have the ability to move elsewhere. There is a background check process in place so we know who these people are and their intentions for immigration. Around 12,000 EB-5 Visas were issued last year alone at the $1 million price tag. At $1 million, you’re not necessarily attracting business but merely wealthier individuals.

The most expensive visa program in the world has become an instant success, highlighting the desire for smart money to seek safety in the United States. Capital and people are flowing into the United States, which, despite its troubles, remains the world’s economic powerhouse and land of opportunity.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford Vows to “inflict as much pain as possible on the American people”


Posted originally on CTH on March 27, 2025 | Sundance

President Donald Trump talks about placing tariffs on Canadian goods.  Ontario Premier Doug Ford talks about “inflicting as much pain as possible on the American people.”  See the difference?   Tell me again how the term “snowmexicans” is insulting.  I digress.

A few thoughts.  First, apparently Doug Ford doesn’t quite understand that tariffs on steel, aluminum and auto imports are not part of the “reciprocity” tariff regime.  They are an entirely different category classified under national security directives to ensure American industrial capacity.

Second, as Canada moves into the “freedom fries” phase, voices like Doug Ford might want to consider the end of this continuum that finds the word “embargo” in the lingo. Perhaps President Trump would consider elevating the conversation to “reciprocity” in the banking sector.  Again, I digress.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announces the Canadian government intention to “inflict as much pain as possible against the American people.”  WATCH:

Canadians just don’t get it.  Meanwhile, as it was within most of the originating negotiations of the USMCA, Mexico smartly stays quiet as stompy feet Canada draws the attention from President Donald Trump.

Canadians want to “inflict as much pain as possible” upon Americans.

♦ Revoke their free Visa access.

♦ Close the border.

♦ Embargo all goods.

♦ Restrict financial services.

♦ Turn off Swift access in Canada.

Let’s see how an independent Canada can function and “inflict pain.”

AG Pam Bondi Announces Senior Leader of MS-13 Arrested in Virginia


Posted originally on CTH on March 27, 2025 | Sundance

MANASSAS, Va. (AP) — The alleged leader of the violent MS-13 street gang on the East Coast has been arrested in Virginia, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.

Bondi lauded the the early morning arrest of the 24-year-old man from El Salvador, who was described as one of MS-13’s top three leaders in the United States, as a major victory in the Trump administration’s effort to crack down on a gang known for brutal violence and extortion.

[…] “We want to make our streets safer,” Bondi told reporters. “We want to make our schools safer. We want to make your neighborhoods safer. This guy was living in a neighborhood right around you, no longer.”

At the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, citing the arrest, called it “a good day for our country.” (link)

Auto Tariffs: German Carmakers Face Billions in Losses – German Auto Suppliers Have 330 Locations in Mexico


Posted originally on CTH on March 27, 2025 | Sundance

The atomic sledgehammer that President Trump just delivered to the German auto industry simply cannot be overemphasized.  A 25% tariff on imported cars and car parts completely negates hundreds of billions in pre-positioned investment dollars by German auto companies in Mexico.  [Executive Order Here]

[Cliff Notes Here]

To give scale to the impact on Germany, consider that German automakers currently have 330 automotive suppliers in Mexico according to information from VDA.  Audi (a subsidiary of Volkswagen) has no U.S. production sites; every Audi sold in America will be subject to a 25% tariff. The Audi brand access to the U.S. market was/is 100% dependent on Mexico, including for manufacturing the Q5 SUV, its top-selling U.S. model.

According to prior reporting from Politico, “Volkswagen’s most popular model for American consumers is the Tiguan, an SUV that is entirely manufactured in Mexico. The German automaker sold over 30,000 of the vehicles in the final quarter of last year, a nearly 50 percent year-over-year increase.”  But wait, it gets worse….

French-Italian-American automaker Stellantis is the most exposed of Europe’s automakers as it makes Jeep and RAM models in Mexico.

The tariffs will make European automakers’ Mexican factories completely redundant. They could make them in Germany for the same tariff impact. Making them in Mexico is now useless.  They were only being made/assembled in Mexico to gain access to the U.S. market without tariffs.

This reality will push all EU automakers to shift production to the U.S. There could also be an explosion in UAW membership depending on where in the USA the EU car companies end up manufacturing.

The auto industry is only one industry, but it is a huge economic driver for multiple countries, especially those countries who depend on access to the U.S. market in order to sell their cars and trucks.

German automakers will need three things, quickly: (1) Subsidies from German govt to help offset the impact of tariffs [Short term 2-5 years]. (2) Shift production of autos for U.S market into USA [Make in USA].  (3) Interim access to new markets to help offset the anticipated drop in demand [think Russia without sanctions].  Each of these facets plays into current geopolitics.

That’s mainly just the German impact.  Then overlay Canada and Mexico (big impact), along with South Korea and Japan (lesser impact due to pre-positioned manufacturing/assembly in the USA).  The auto-tariffs carry a huge economic outcome around the globe.

Europe – “European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen responded quickly to a decision by United States President Donald Trump to slap a 25 percent tariff on auto imports.

The tariffs, which Trump said will take effect April 3, are a heavy blow for the European car industry and represent the largest escalation yet in Trump’s multi-fronted trade war, which is expected to have severe global economic consequences.

“I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European automotive exports,” von der Leyen said in a statement released late Wednesday evening. “Tariffs are taxes — bad for businesses [and] worse for consumers equally in the US and the European Union.”

She said Europe would assess the tariffs, and anticipated that further measures would arrive from the White House in the coming days. Trump has stepped back from implementing tariffs on America’s allies and adversaries several times since his Jan. 20 inauguration.

“We’re signing today,” Trump said of the protectionist tariffs. “It goes into effect April 2. We start collecting on April 3.”

While von der Leyen’s language was guarded, she left little doubt that the EU is prepared to retaliate.

“The EU will continue to seek negotiated solutions, while safeguarding its economic interests,” she said. “As a major trading power and a strong community of 27 Member States, we will jointly protect our workers, businesses and consumers across our European Union.” (More)

Tariffs & Trump’s Inner Circle

Never Give Up

COMMENT:

I dont get it..
You said you have no access to Trump.
Cmon Marty…
Your smart enough to find a way.
Your known by many govts and your not smart enough to get through?
I dont believe that!
Even Alex Jones says he has access to Trump
You know Alex…
And he cant get the message to Trump!

REPLY: These tariffs are, to a large extent, political in hopes of forcing change. Europe, for example, is deep in Marxism with high tariffs in theory to protect jobs. Take agriculture. Europe has an Agriculture: 13.9%. Tariff on American agriculture compared to the USA at 5%. Then there are issues the press does not even discuss—the Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs). The EU loves to employ stringent NTBs (e.g., EU regulations, US standards), which are distinct from tariff rates. Regulate something like quality. Since Europe has attacked its farmers using climate change, it can impose NTBs if crops are grown with the fertilizers they have outlawed.

1996 Testify

I believe Trump’s people have taken my testimony before the House Ways & Means Committee because they have advocated the 15% rate I laid out there. I explained that US manufacturers leave because of taxation and regulation, not because they have to pay someone $10 an hour vs. $15. I explained that we could not go to ZERO because some countries would tax a company if it were located in a tax-free zone. I explained that 15% would bring back all the companies that left, but there has to be some guarantee that if the Democrats get back in, they do not reverse everything. Democrats love spending the money of other people. They are indoctrinated into Marxism.

So this is far more complex; all I can do is point out the proper path. I do speak with some people on the team, but we must take this realistically. Canada has tariffs even between its provinces, as if each were its own country. It is a real mess. Many Canadians never knew about that. It is over C$200 billion.

Trump Has Declassified Hillary’s RussiaGate


Posted originally on Mar 26, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Trump declassifies all the FBI files of RussiaGate that Hillary created and John McCain handed to Comey. He asked the biased press, will they “look” no less, report the truth just for once? This gives the media the right to go in and check it, and now we will see who is really beholden to destroying this country, conspiring with the LEFT to take over America.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Visits El Salvador Prison Housing Deported Criminal Alien Detainees


Posted originally on CTH on March 27, 2025 | Sundance

Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem goes straight into the heart of the operation where deported criminal gang members are being housed by an agreement with the government of El Salvador.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sends a chilling warning to illegal criminal immigrants entering the United States. On Wednesday, Noem visited the high-security prison in El Salvador that recently received hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members.

Noem was given a tour of the prison by Salvadoran Minister of Justice Héctor Gustavo Villatoro during her visit. The Homeland Security Secretary then met with El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele and is expected to visit Colombia and Mexico next.

“First of all, do not come to our country illegally. You will be removed, and you will be prosecuted. But know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people,” she said.

Vietnam Proactively Responds to April 2nd “Independence Day” Tariffs, by Lowering Import Tariff Regime


Posted originally on CTH on March 27, 2025 | Sundance

Wealthy nations will attempt to maintain exports against President Trump tariffs by subsidizing their industries. Corporations have deeper pockets, and the politicians are used to the bribes, we call it “lobbying.” Therefore, the government responds by subsidizing the corporations [ie. the WEF business model].

Canada will subsidize their export industries, Germany will subsidize their auto industry, the EU will provide subsidies to their manufacturing powerhouses, and China will once again start subsidizing their manufacturing industry. Each of these nations will in turn devalue their currency.

However, poorer nations will be faster to lower import tariffs on USA goods because they have lower lobbying (bribe) income from corporations to govt. That’s what we should expect to see.

VIETNAM – Vietnam said it plans to cut import duties on a range of goods including cars, liquified natural gas and agricultural products.

[…] The announcement on the finance ministry’s website late Tuesday came less than two weeks after Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said the country was reviewing duties in order to encourage increased imports from the United States.

Vietnam represents the United States’s third-highest trade deficit, behind China and Mexico.

According to the finance ministry statement, import duties on some cars will be cut by half and the tax rate for liquified natural gas will drop from five percent to just two percent. Duties will also be cut for a number of other products including frozen chicken thighs, almonds, sweet cherries, raisins and wood. (more)

During President Trump’s first term, many companies proactively moved manufacturing operations from China to other nations in Southeast Asia.  Vietnam was a big benefactor of the manufacturing shift.  It is smart for them to respond to the reciprocal tariffs coming April 2nd by lowering their tariff rate.

President Trump has instructed the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative to calculate both the tariffs and the non-tariff trade barriers as part of the reciprocity equation.  The non-tariff barrier calculation is the factor many foreign governments are anticipating with great interest.

This overall dynamic is a major reset in global trade as the U.S. market is the crown jewel for entry.  We are the customers that everyone wants access to.  President Trump is leveraging that access to trigger internal GDP growth.

Remember, even the GDP calculation is a factor of the value of products we generate, minus the value of the products we import.  If we lower the import side of the equation and simultaneously increase domestic production, the GDP expands significantly more than just increasing production.
