MEDICARE For All: Socialism For All…

Posted on by Helena

While the vitriolic call for nationalized medicine/healthcare in the US by socialist entitlement seekers spans the media, the UK nationalized healthcare is in a shambles and talk of privatization is paramount!

Oops.

Let me rephrase that.

The UK is considering ways and means to privatize their nationalized healthcare system because it is an abject FAILURE.   As in – it Does Not Work.

Still, Bernie and Poko were adamantly proclaiming that if elected this is exactly what they will create – a Medicare for all system. I wonder what the massively profitable insurance companies think?   Likely they are laughing hysterically because the ‘plan’ is completely unviable, would shutter hospitals, and see the common theme of doctor and nurse shortages evidenced in Canada, the UK, France and Germany.

But practicalities and logic are unreachable by two candidates who have never held a real job.

Warren wrote a number of books that were highly criticized for lacking substantial research, taught a few classes in which some of her students awarded her for her style, and wrote a blog for Huffington Post. Her most prestigious credential is her appointment by Harry Reid to chair the five member Congressional Oversight Committee for the implementation of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act.   In laymen’s terms, that Act was the impetus for the 2008 bank bailout that cost US taxpayers upwards of $700 billion to a trillion in order for bankers to make $100 million annual salaries and fly their private jets exuding plumes of toxic ozone decay so as to enable them to go hither and there including the Global Climate Accord while vehemently complaining about global warming.

Her entire education was attained by fraudulently claiming she was American Indian and thus eligible for scholarships, awards and grants.   Her 10 years of college would be worth about $500,000.

That is the entire extent of Warren’s business acumen. Her net worth is upwards of $11 million and I would guesstimate she has no intention of ‘sharing’ it with anyone – including illegal immigrants.

Sanders is a member of the Socialist Party.  After going to college (graduation not noted) he worked self-described odd jobs here and there, carpenter, etc… nothing noteworthy according to his biography.   On a whim he moved to Vermont and became mayor of Burlington (population 35,000). Vermont has the smallest economy of the US and a population equivalent to Boston.   It has -0- jobs growth and -0- business growth.   It ranks #47 as best states for business, and #46 as best state for environmental regulation by Forbes.

Sander’s wife has been mired in corrupt and fraudulent charges including possible bank fraud.   She earned her doctorate through an online service school, and became President of Burlington College, a tiny no-grade progressive school with 200 students.   She resigned as a result of the fraud, and received $360,000 in pay and severance. Rather largess for a tiny school??   While the matter is being investigated by the FBI, the Democrat US Attorney in Vermont recently dropped the investigation.

The Sanders reported net worth is $2.5 to $5 million. They own 3 homes, which they purchased for cash in the last ten years – roughly $1.5 million.  Would the Socialist share his homes and new found wealth with anyone?  Likely, NO.

Given the abhorrent lack of any business experience, neither Sanders or Warren have any idea how a Medicare for All could possibly be implemented, the loss of jobs, the implosion of the Insurance Industry, and the devastation of our healthcare.   As it is, few doctors will accept Medicare patients given the burdensome paperwork, and the incremental fees.   Doctors have begun retiring en masse since the implementation of Obamacare. According to a report by the Association of American Colleges, published in 2011, US specialties will reach a shortage of 91,500 doctors by 2020.   The main reason – retirement.

That shortage will increase to 122,000 by 2030.

Medicare For All means doctors will be paid even less, few will go to the lengths and financial devastation of medical school, and those shortages will quickly ramp up incrementally.

But Sanders and Warren have an Agenda. Socialism for everyone – but them.

Pesticide Peril – not for the faint of heart

Posted on by Helena

Germany’s flagship company, Bayer, is facing 18,400 lawsuits, predominantly from California whereby their subsidiary, Monsanto, has been cited for its toxic, cancer causing pesticide, glyphosate.   Bayer bought Monsanto for $63 billion one year ago and today Bayer’s total market value is less than what it paid for just Monsanto with it’s stock plummeting 50%. While Bayer claims that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the chemical, they are fast-tracking an alternative.

There are 26 countries that ban or restrict the use of Monsanto products including: Germany, China, India, France, Hungary, Austria, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Luxembourg and Mexico.   The four largest pesticide companies in the world are: Syngenta, owned by China – the world leader of agro-chemicals, Bayer, headquartered in Germany, DOW, headquartered in Michigan, and BASF, also headquartered in Germany  (they purchased Monsanto’s seed division).

In the US alone 851 million pounds of pesticides are used annually.   90% of private wells sourced by groundwater contain pesticides. The contamination results in 14 million fish deaths, 67 million bird deaths and 20,000 new cancer patients each year.

The most prolific user of pesticides is China at 4 trillion pounds per year. Obviously their ban of Monsanto is purely a business decision and not an environmental one.

The top consumers in order of pounds: China, US, Argentina, Thailand, Brazil, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, and India.   The impact on the smaller countries is significantly more hazardous given the concentration levels.

Glyphosate is not the only banned chemical that is showing up in our food chain, paraquat and chlorpyrifos which are banned in the EU are a common supplement to Brazils exports including wheat, soy, cotton, dairy products, coffee, tea, eggs and beef. YUM!  But chlorpyrifo’s are the brainchild of DOW and used for insect control on citrus fruits, wheat, corn, cotton, soybeans and sugar beets in the US.   They are NOT banned in the US despite serious potential side effects including:  vomiting, stomach cramps, muscle twitching, tremors, weakness, loss of coordination, unconsciousness, loss of bladder control, convulsions, difficulty breathing, paralysis and of course – death.

Farmers have lobbied for the continued use claiming they stand to lose up to 70% of their crop if insects are not controlled – and there is no alternative product. But, while they claim there is no alternative, that would be a false argument given that organic farming utilizes just that – alternatives.   It is not that their are no alternatives, it is that the alternatives make them non-competitive in the mass market.

Sometimes alternatives may be a predator insect, as in butterflies eat aphids, but as we are well aware, the cost of alternative farming exceeds the mass market and the competition for the general public.

Notable elite such as Bill Gates et all, Buffet, Zuckerberg, those with the means, negate anything mass produced and eat only organic.   While they advocate the use of chemical laden foods for feeding the world, they are wholly repugnant at the thought of consuming such for themselves or their families.

Starbucks coffee is imported from Brazil and Columbia. The term Arabica on the package refers to a type of plant, not a place.  So when you are choking down that latte, or espresso, or French Roast, know that you are drinking a hefty dose of yummy pesticides aka Latin America.  Brazil is known to have the highest per capita consumption of pesticides.

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, glyphosate causes cancer, most notably Hodgkins. Nerve damage is the other leading medical ailment associated with the chemical.

A California couple’s settlement award for glyphosate poisoning which was initially $2 billion was recently reduced to $87 million.   Still, given 18,400 separate lawsuits at an award rate of $80 million, that would amount to nearly $1.5 trillion.   At present, Bayer’s annual net is roughly $400 million, so that would wipe out all profits for about 4 years.

Agro companies, pharma companies, they have an agenda.   And it isn’t – health.  Let the buyer beware.  But let the buyer also be informed.

France Digital Tariff…er Tax Blunder

Posted on by Helena

France has stated that it will begin charging a 3% digital tax which will be implemented within 21 days and apply retroactively to January 1, 2019.  While Trump has issued a statement calling for a retaliatory tax on French wine, the tech industry seems eerily quiet. Why?

The tax is designed to specifically target online advertising, online intermediary activities, and the sale of user data.   A study conducted by Deloitte reveals that the reason the techs don’t care is because they will absorb just 5% of the 3%, consumers will pick up 55% and businesses will bear 40%.

So once again, the income redistribution will target consumers and small businesses, not billion dollar tech companies. They yawn.

For France alone they expect to rake in roughly $550 million annually which will be deposited into the government coffers along with their VAT tax, income tax, corporate tax, gas tax, wealth tax, stamp tax, professional tax, residence tax, local tax, payroll tax, gift tax, and land tax.

Interestingly, the amount of tariff/tax imposed on tech companies will likely equal the lost increase in gas tax that caused rioting in the streets for months.

Trump’s response is to tax French wine. The US imports roughly $2.1 billion annually and exports about $435 million.   Of course, Macron and his finance minister are completely incensed that we would even consider such a measure claiming they are imposing a tax, and Trump would be imposing a tariff. It would seem, they don’t understand a tariff by definition is a ‘Tax’.   Vive la France.

So what is really going on?

France’s budget deficit is slated to reach 3.4% of GDP next year, which overshoots the EU limit of 3%. But then France has not had a balanced budget since 1974. The reason for the deficit – France is considered a welfare state, thus Health care, pensions, assistance programs, and education account for the repeated inability to balance.

According to the EU rules that nobody abides by, a country’s debt ratio should not exceed 60%. France’s is 99%.   The consequence? Nothing. The EU notoriously establishes rules but few countries take them seriously and haven’t for decades. It is no different than the Paris Climate Accord wherein the convenient wording is stipulated as “guidelines”. Thus everyone can sign it, but no one is obligated to actually adhere to anything – including Germany.

These inconsistencies are part of the reasoning for BREXIT.   The European Union created a standard that all member countries are to abide by, and yet most simply don’t and haven’t since it’s formation. The Commission is thus another useless government authority collecting wages, accumulating pensions, and doing – nothing.

The companies that will be hit by this newly imposed 3% tariff include: Google, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. Amazon has stated they applaud the Trump administration for defending fair trade.   The others have given no comment.

While the EU Commission had recently ruled down such a tax, Macron defends his stance stating that France is a sovereign nation and can do whatever it wants.   In addition he stated that between ‘allies’, “we can and we must resolve our disputes without resorting to threats”.

WHAT?

Russia’s Protests Expose Communist Opposition

Posted on by Helena

In September Russian city counsel and municipal elections will be held in which 45 vacant seats will be filled.   So far, 233 have registered as candidates and 57 have been denied due to incomplete and/or fraudulent registration forms. Each registration form must contain 5,000 signatures from people within the district in order to be considered valid.

Alexei Navalny called for a protest, which he duly requested and which was sanctioned a week ago. Approximately 22,000 showed up for this peaceful rally. But then Navalny called for a march on City Hall, which was not approved or sanctioned and riot police were deployed to protect City Hall and mayor Sergei Sobyanin who Navalny declared must resign immediately. Apparently, the mayor was cited by Navalny for inefficient spending and corruption after he purchased Christmas decorations for the streets of Moscow.   Interestingly Sobyanin is not pro-Putin, or pro-opposition Navalny. Initially selected by Medvedev in 2010, in 2013 Sobyanin requested the resignation of Putin, and was then forcibly called to resign by Putin.   He has since been duly elected by the people, and his last and final term will expire in 2023.   It would seem he has managed to make enemies on both sides of the political spectrum.

Outside of Navalny, there were two other noteworthy instigators of the unauthorized protest; Ivan Zhdanov, Lyubov Sobol, Dmitry Gudkov and Ilya Yashin.

Dmitry Gudkov – is a Russian politician along with his father. They supported the Young Socialists of Russia and the Social Party.   He has actively worked to reinstate NGO’s into Russia that were banned by Putin, including Soros Open Society. He has been a poster child for The Economist, the Rothschild magazine. After being expelled from his party, he became a member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Yabloko.

His own financial fraud and corruption were exposed in 2012 and again in 2016 reflecting an estate valued at 100 million rubles and income of 2.42 million rubles in an oil company. In 2013, he was linked to the Obama administration and US Senate.

Ilya Yashin – is a politician and member of Solidamost, a liberal party established in conjunction with Yabloko, the Communist Party.

Both men to prominence around 2010 with the support of US politicians as well as alleged CIA involvement. Their case for all things Communist is eerily parallel to the Liberal Socialists in the US trying desperately to vilify Trump. And both Putin and Trump are being egged into what Liberal pundits proudly demand – civil war.

In the latest protest/riot, when the communist youth began to surge toward City Hall in Moscow, the police acted by barring them entry and eventually hauling off some 1300 protestors.   All but 150 have since been released pending civil court action.

Oddly, Deutsche Welle, which is guided by Soros, has entered the fray with a piece in which the police are villains, and the protestors are just nice Antifa sorts… young and impressionable, just out for a riot.

The man who wrote this DW opinion piece is Miodrag Soris, a member of the International Journalists Programme. US Trustees include executives from the New York Times, CNBC, Henry Kissinger, General Patraeus, Goldman Sachs, CBC, etc… The Advisory Board also includes a journalist for the UK government funded BBC. The BBC has been likened as the spokesperson for MI6, in parallel with VOA the corrupt CIA and FBI propaganda machine under the Obama reign of terrorism.   The IJP works in conjunction with the International Center for Journalists, which is funded by the Knight Foundation, the Open Society Institute and Bill Gates.  

Full circle – Soros.

For decades the Agenda has been to destabilize Russia and the US given that Europe had already been conquered wherein Socialist Communism rules.

With local elections in Russia on the horizon, once again the opposition has come out of the woodwork, rioting, demanding, and defrauding the election process in order to gain control.   Putin’s power hold has been met with a feverish pitch.   And like the US, the target pawns are the youth, the same campaign used by Lenin and Hitler.

Garnering a faction of pro-communist political knights, the same common denominator reveals a storm of assault, riots, and destruction.   It also reveals the exact same combatants and manipulators.

The reality remains fixed, where the manipulators exist, we can surmise The Swampers are collectively amassed.   And all things Russia aligned with the US have the power to destroy The Cabal. Divided, we will not.

Baltimore: Has Cumming A Rat

Posted on by Helena

As is usual, Liberal ignorance continues to astound in the Elijah Cummings/Baltimore fiasco.   The point of Trump’s comment was directed at Cummings because his District and Baltimore most specifically has devolved into a cesspool of crime, rodents, and disease.   These Congressional Representatives have been spending so much of their time, effort, and tax dollars fighting Trump, their cities and Districts are crumbling before their eyes. And they don’t care.

Trump is doing his JOB. Congress needs to get off their proverbial butts and do their JOB. Cummings is only one example. Maxine Waters is another huge example of community destruction in the name of angrily, bitterly, demonstratively, fighting our President. For what purpose?   To maintain the Swamp that has so lucratively lined her pockets while she actively does – Nothing.

Why would anyone claim Baltimore is anything but a dung heap? It was a dung heap when I lived in DC decades ago, and it is today. There was a brief moment when a portion along the wharf was given a cosmetic lift, but it quickly lost its Botox effect and succumbed.

When looking at statistics, the media has failed to delve beyond superficial numbers.   So let’s look at the reality:

Averages are and always have been a ridiculous method of determining data.   Cumming’s 7th District is 60% black, 6% Asian and 35% white. Sources of information are 10-20 years old!   Why?   Because they don’t want the numbers to actually reflect the truth.  SO I will do the best I can.

In Maryland; the homicide rate for blacks represents 23.6%, for whites and Asians it is 2.6%.   Blacks represent 20.9% of the rate of syphilis, 42.1% of AIDS, and 70.3% of HIV incidences.   Blacks are 20% more likely than whites to be obese.   The median Household income for blacks was $30,000 less than Asians, $21,000 less than whites, and $6,000 less than Hispanics. The infant mortality rate among blacks is 3 times higher than whites.

So if Hollywood and the Liberal media are incensed that Trump would call upon these elected government officials to do their JOB, they are racist!   If you believe Maryland is supportive of the black community? You must be a racist. Maryland is an example of supreme failure and the Asian and white communities are all they have to prop up the economy.

So how are the statistics skewed?   In Maryland, a mother with two children could receive a welfare benefits package worth $36,000 to $40,000 per year. Blacks represent 35.7% of Baltimore City residents receiving food stamps, compared to 20% for Maryland. In Baltimore City, 26% of ALL races are on food stamps. Of 3,142 counties in the US, Baltimore ranks 2nd in Food Stamp recipients, the Bronx coming in 1st.

These are the real number being ignored – ignore the facts, you don’t change them – and thus, you must be a ‘racist’.

And as the Daily Caller noted, the rat infestation in Baltimore is so awful a documentary film was made with participation of the mayor to highlight the dung.   The reason? Same as New York City where the trash heaps on street corners are prime housing projects for thousands of rats! And what are the government officials doing about this rat population that brings disease?

Nothing. Because it must be Trump’s fault…

Crime? Yesterday the Baltimore Sun exposed racially targeted beatings, car jackings, slayings, all while angrily citing Trump’s comment that Elijah Cummings could be back home helping to fix the problems instead of whacking off at Trump as being – racist.  In other words, hypocrisy at its highest.

YES!  Fix your District, your county, your state!   That is your JOB!

SHAME!

FOX POLLS: Wholly Lacking Authenticity! Gun Control & Biden

Posted on by Helena

The media is all atizzy over a poll conducted by Fox News which shows Biden ahead of Trump by 10 points…  Newest Poll addresses controversial Gun Control and Trump Ratings.   Just because Fox bills itself as conservative does not mean Fox IS conservative.   Their choice of polling companies proves a far different, if not negligent analysis:

As of 2011, Fox News uses Braun Research to conduct their polls, according to the fine print.

Reviews for Braun are rather awful!   The most damning being that the calls are late at night, the questions asked are meaningless, and the person asking the questions doesn’t seem to know what poll they are asking questions for…   Yelp reviews are even worse than Google with one person filing a complaint with the FCC claiming the company is a Scam. Another caller claimed that Braun said they were an ‘engineering firm’ when conducting the survey.

Former Employee comment: “The company was driven off results no matter how achieved.”  

Another Employee:   “Although the pay was very acceptable for a 16 year old…”

Another Employee:   “had to able to read verbatim and accurate.” 

And then there was this Former Employee:   “Watch out, surveys are falsified and there is mold in the building. Most of the employees are ex cons or drug users. No background checks so the job is great if you are starting from scratch.”

Oops!

Their main office would appear to be a rather ramshackle hole in the wall in an apartment mall of sorts in New Jersey.

There are complaints lodged against them, and employee turnover in the US would seem quite rapid – errr rabid, but then the reviews claim they hire mostly people in high school and survey calls are conducted until ‘midnight’.  OUCH!  Who answers a survey at midnight?

Braun does the fieldwork and submits their data to Beacon Research a very small ‘boutique’ company with 5 employees including; a president, 2 directors and 2 analysts. The president and founder, Chris Anderson, is a noted Democrat and according to his online bio, “He learned the trade from two pioneers and legends of Democratic political polling —John Gorman at Opinion Dynamics and Tom Kiley at Kiley & Company.”

Andrew Schwartz, one of the Directors states on his bio, “ …cut his political teeth working for President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, directing field operations in 13 precincts in North Carolina”.  

Analyst, Terry Classen’s bio: “Terry volunteered on Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign for president.”

Co-Founder, Matthew Shelter, “was part of the polling team for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. Other candidates he has worked for include U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Claire McCaskill and Ted Kennedy; Governor Deval Patrick; Rep. Niki Tsongas; New York State Comptroller Carl McCall; Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau; Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald; Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy and Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner. Matthew has also advised the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee in New York State for more than 20 years”.

Gosh darn! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

Fox News has clearly tarnished itself with this absolute rubbish! These companies are entirely unprofessional, biased, and unworthy of a conglomerate like Fox News. But that’s who they hired to conduct the poll on behalf of Biden.

FAKE POLLS – FULL OF HOLES!

Boris Johnson/Trump Effect: Mad as a Hatter!

Posted on by Helena

With the announcement that Boris Johnson will replace the wholly inept Swamper, Theresa May, the MSM is running in circles trying to redirect from what they already know is about to swallow the UK  – the Trump effect.   While the media act as though Johnson has no clue what he’s stepped into regarding BREXIT, crime, fraud, a failing NHS, etc… they seem oblivious to that fact that Johnson ran for office knowing quite well everything he was facing – and – despite everything he was facing!

Because, like Trump, he wants to FIXIT.

MI6 is just as corrupt as the FBI and CIA under Clinton, Bush and Obama.   It has been a long haul of realizing the purity of evil that exists within these two countries power system.  The ‘conspiracy’ is quite real, and the roof is being blown.   Johnson’s first move?  Clean out the Cabinet.  Get rid of the saucers, and lay down some good old fashioned patriots.  Half the cabinet either left or were fired.

Germany has voiced mixed reviews.  The newly appointed EU Commission President, Ursula Von Der Leyen, has puckered a stiff smile while stating that she/the Commission will not accept any deal regarding BREXIT.  NO one was surprised.

Her own rather bizarre rise in the political arena is a bit unusual given her degree is medical and her dissertation was tainted with multiple charges of plagiarism.

But the inevitable jokes and memes began the moment Johnson took charge.   Ridicule and blasphemy would appear to be the new norm for anyone left of right.   There are no longer boundaries or filters to rein in the donkeys.   Coined by Thomas Nast in his comical portrayal of all things political, the Donkey invariably represented the Ass, the Democrat Party. And it stuck.

You know Johnson’s the right choice when the MSM goes ballistic.   He has pledged a verified BREXIT, with or without a deal, he really doesn’t care.   And the faltering NHS system of nationalized healthcare is in the twalette.  Shortage of doctors, shortage of nurses, shortage of equipment, shortages, as the privatized portion of healthcare has grown by leaps.

While Johnson’s personal life may be blustery and a bit ahem, no one cares.   Focusing on that part of the man has given him the gavel and he is eager to be inline with Trump.  His jokes are tawdry, his humor conventionally British dry, and he has no problem escaping the politically correct humdrum.   And right now, draining the UK Swamp is at the top of the axis.

What the Trump-Johnson team will look like is anyone’s guess, but having a true ally will likely reinstate a hefty trade relationship that has blimped along for decades with the US representing a mere 13% of UK exports.  Of the 54.2% trade within Europe, Germany’s portion has held at just under 10%.   Germany, the US, and China, respectively represent the largest source of UK imports.  But a no-deal BREXIT could easily swamp the levees of change.

Johnson has also revealed that he envisions closer ties with Russia whose alliance could be the final pearl in the oyster as the Swamp is exceedingly fearful that a US, UK, Russia alliance would most certainly be their demise as the casket would be given a proper salute before being pushed into the ominous black depths of the sea.

Russia collusion memes are likely to hyperventilate the media in the mid term as paper bags are handed to crowds of socialist has-beens.  Feel The Bern!

Italy’s hard right Matteo Salvini, expressed great joy at the prospect of working with Johnson, while like Merkel, Trudeau was relatively glumly polite as the world shifts on its axis of evil and lands squarely on point.

Hollywood, pedophiles, and rapists will no longer run our countries.   And the Mad Hatters will grovel back to the hole where they came from:

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”

DARK POOLS: The Next Unregulated Bubble

Posted on by Helena

The Day The Music Died…

In 1979, then Democrat President Jimmy Carter, flanked by a Democrat Congress chaired by Walter Mondale and Tip O’Neil, passed an SEC Regulation allowing what are known in Wall Street as Dark Pools.   Tip O’Neil was a major advocate of Universal Healthcare and Roosevelt’s New Deal. Mondale is still working for Dorsey and Whitney, a law firm in Minneapolis where Democrat Presidential candidate, Amy Klobuchar, is also employed.

This SEC pronouncement allows investors to anonymously purchase large blocks of securities actively traded on any exchange without the trade being listed. As such, the real price of any given stock is inaccurate and might not reflect the pooled purchase or sale for several days or more.   These ‘after hours’ trades are not public, are typically only available to select high wealth investors including banks and hedge funds, and are considered a stealth parallel to public exchanges while having far fewer regulatory and disclosure requirements.

Initially, they represented a minor force in the markets – roughly 2-3% of trades.  But the passage of the regulation has been the mainstay for banks and Wall Street to run amok.

Dark Pools are likely to be the next Financial Crisis.   Banks have already been cited and fined for fraudulent trading and misinforming clients, but they don’t care, the fines are a fraction of the revenues.

In 2007 as SIV’s (Structured Investment Vehicles) began to stumble invoking the Financial Crisis, Dark Pools began to grow substantially and are now thought to represent perhaps as much as 50% of market trading. Today most pools are owned by mega banks including; Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Bank of America, etc…

Having negotiated their way out of the price fixing Libor scandal of the 1990’s during the Clinton regime, banks then created the next buble, SIV’s, and when the banking crisis revealed the schematic fraud of SIV’s banks demanded bailouts, and Dark Pools became the nouveau riche fashion statement.

Today, banks actively trade their own and each others shares in massive Dark Pool bundles manipulating prices and using the shares as collateral for loans.   In essence an elaborate Ponzi scheme, but more importantly a vast money laundering platform as well.

Banks argue that Dark Pools are actually beneficial because fees are lower and all investors win… Except those who don’t have the billions it takes to become an investor.

By the end of 2008 when the bank collapse was at its height and the last SIV’s had shuttered, Dark Pools began to rise. With Bush’s Federal Reserve bailout funds of $700 billion authorized to get these poor banks back on track, they simply redirected the funds into a new Ponzi bubble paid for by US taxpayers.

Follow The Money.

IN 2000, Jeffrey Epstein became Director and Chairman of Liquid Funding Ltd, in partnership with Bear Stearns.   According to Paradise Papers, the partnership was registered in Bermuda and went out of business in 2010.  Liquid Funding was a SIV.

Bear Stearns was worth $20 billion before the Financial Crisis, within a few months that capitalization had tanked to $235 million when Chase Bank bought them March 2008.

It is likely Epstein’s wealth was dramatically affected during this time frame as well – of course at the heels of his initial indictment in 2006.

Of course, if banks are manipulating their own prices with Dark Pools, it goes without saying that equities are also onboard capitalizing on manufactured profits.

But all of this manipulation ultimately finds at its core The Federal Reserve.

In 2007, the assets of the Federal Reserve were valued at $869 billion – by 2017, those assets had risen to $4.5 trillion with the help of Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen.   A rather remarkable feat created under the monetary policy of ‘quantitative easing’.  But it was the “Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999” that gave the Federal Reserve the authority to determine ‘appropriate’ financial activities for bank holding companies and member banks.   It was signed into law by Bill Clinton.

Gramm was a senior advisor to John McCain during his presidential run. Breaking ranks, Leach endorsed Obama with Madeleine Albright and was subsequently appointed to Obama’s 9th Chair for the National Endowment for the Humanities. Both Gramm and Bliley were initially Democrats.

It would appear that the Corporate world at large much approved of the deregulation imposed by the Chair of the SEC in 1979 – Harold M. Williams.   It is worth noting that the SEC is an independent agency within the federal government and as such operates outside the executive office of the President.   It was created as a part of Roosevelt’s New Deal.

The SEC and the Federal Reserve will often work jointly.

THE SQUAD: RACIST Today and Slave Traders Yesterday…

Posted on by Helena

“Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. It may also include prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone because they are of a different race or ethnicity, or the belief that members of different races or ethnicities should be treated differently.”

 There are so many issues with this definition – where to begin???

First:   racism can be directed toward any person – calling everyone white nationalists is racism because it is used in a derogatory way to denounce a group of people based on their ethnicity.

Second:   members of different races should be treated differently, they ask to be treated differently, they demand that their particular culture be treated differently to the point that there are now black only universities, in fact many universities segregate graduation based on ‘different ethnicities’ in order to be ‘all-inclusive’.   All Inclusive would thus be – racist! There are entire neighborhoods dedicated to a particular ethnicity – by choice.

Third:  antagonism has been directed against our elected President because he is white and male. That is not only racism, it is discrimination based on gender.

Fourth:   racism is an all black basketball team.

While the ever vindictive, Washington Post, is aghast because GOP senators who were asked to define racism had many different answers, their ignorance holds title given racism has many definitions! How dare they!   Apparently, we must ALL have the same speak forthwith elst we are ‘different’, and being different is racist.

And the very non-independent Independent rag in the UK has declared that Trump’s latest tweet was racist. Why?   Because instead of realizing that he was calling out four women who have banded together to demonize the United States and all things we stand for, they, the non-independent Independent, chose to see ‘women of color’ – which of course would make them racist for even seeing ‘color’.   Oops.

Because, in order to be non-racist, one must be ‘color blind’.   The media became the progenitor of racism by seeing ONLY ‘color’.

“The Census Bureau defines White people as follows: “White” refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East or North Africa.”

Oops!

Ocasio Cortez’ parents are both Puerto Rican. Over 78% of Puerto Ricans identify as ‘white’.   The racial ancestry DNA is largely composed of 64% European and 21% West and North Africa.

Rashida is Palestinian – Middle Eastern = white according to the US census.

Ilhan is Somalian. Somalian’s do not identify as African, they identify as Middle Eastern, thus white.

Ayanna Presley would then be the ONLY ‘woman of color’ and we have no information about her ancestry.

And the press and Democrats would be belligerently – racists for assuming three women who are white – are in fact ‘colored’.

So who did Trump tweet to? Four women who have united together to call all white people supremacists, and Nazi’s, and nationalists. Four women who have called black voices deplorable slaves if they don’t align to the Presley view of Socialism/Marxism.  Four women who are actively discriminating, racist, and misogynist.

Color – is not an ethnicity.   Color is not a culture.

However, from a purely anthropological standpoint there are three human races: Mongoloid, Negroid, and Caucasoid.   But those definitions have since been refuted given that are genetics has proven to hold a maelstrom of ethnicities making our race sometimes non-identifiable.

While Aristotle and other ancient philosophers designated a weak vs strong means of defining people, that is termed ‘ethnocentrism’. Ethnocentrism is based on language, behavior, customs and religion.   One of the first books to discuss ‘racism’, was written sometime in the 9th century by a Muslim titled, The Superiority Of The Blacks To The Whites. In AL-Jahiz writings, he explained that Turkic and Bantu people were actually black because of environmental determinism.

BUT THEN IT GETS WORSE:

The Somali people captured Bantu’s and sold them into slavery.   That would make Ilhan Omar a slave trader by historical consequence. The Palestinians had three classes of slaves: state, domestic and temple.   That would make Rashida a slave trader by ancestry.   Puerto Ricans had African slaves up until 1873 – eight years AFTER the end of the US Civil War granting slaves freedom.   That would make Ocasio a slave trader by ancestry. Presley has given no background on her ‘ethnicity’ so I can not comment.

Racism would obviously be present in Three of The Squad members!

Oops.

Modern use of the term racism in the US rose with the belief in eugenics.   Eugenics was a form of racism in that it aimed to favor – once again – the strong, ie the weak must be eradicated.   Hitler and Marx were true racists in that sense.   Abortion was the other form of racism.

The Squad is calling for the white founding fathers of America to be eliminated because they were white and thus racist given some had slaves as was the custom in the south.

Perhaps The Squad should go back to their own countries of origin and demand reparations and racist nationalism therein – but then Ilhan would have to go into war torn Somalia that is in the midst of ethnic cleansing by Al-Shabab a Muslim – panAfrican organization…   Oops.   And Ocasio would go to… you get the point.

Ilhan Omar: Links to Al-Shabab, and Muslim Brotherhood… PART II

Posted on by Helena

As if the hypocrisy of Omar Ilhan could not be topped, she continues to prove that her attacks against Trump along with “The Squad”, are rooted in an Agenda of chaos and destruction.

A Canadian journalist moved to her home of Somalia sending pictures of a pristine landscape, and beauty to the beholder in order to prove that the country is being misjudged.   She has been killed in an assassination by Al-Shabab militants (an offshoot of ISIS) in a targeted attack on a hotel.   While her stories were genuine, and her heart was in the right place, her death reveals a truism – Somalia is at war and has been for decades.   The reality is that Somalia was born of warriors and has been the point target of conquest for thousands of years.

Modern history reveals their colonization by the British and French. In the 70’s, after Marxism rose with Russian and Cuban control, Somali asked the US for intervention and help.   While the US helped Somalia build the largest army in Africa to counter the growing communist rule, factions of rebels grew from the discontent and civil war broke out.   It was sometime around 1991-1992 that Ilhan and her family fled opting for the peace and prosperity offered by the US as their ultimate place of refuge.

In the early 2000’s with the rise of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, Al-Shabab moved into Somalia – the leach that sought to devour the country through bombings.   Since 1991, over half a million people have been killed, nearly 300,000 have died of starvation, and still Omar hates all things America. Why?

One would think she would be grateful for our troops sacrificing their lives, for American taxpayers footing the bill to try and save her country from terrorism…

Instead she is calling for Marxist socialism in the US.  Odd…

In 2016, Ilhan went to Somalia and it would appear she is quite a celebrity there given then President up for re-election, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, invited her to appear with him. She had flown from Nairobi to Mogadishu on a plane with former Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed. Hassan is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Then Prime Minister, Mohamed Abdullah Mohamed, is currently the newly elected President of Somali as of 2017.   He moved to the US sometime around 1985 working first in the Somali embassy in DC, before reportedly earning a BA and Masters degree in four years while attending the State University of New York where he remained until 2010. Suddenly, in 2010, he was appointed the Prime Minister of Somalia – it would appear in absentia.

And in 2012, Somalia created a new Constitution. A host of African countries have recently created and adopted new Constitutions including; Ivory Coast, Kenya, Angola, Egypt, Libya, Madagascar, Niger, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe.

In 2006, the Somali branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Islah, formed the Damul Jadiid subdivision branch which openly embraced violence in order to establish an Islamic caliphate. Hassan, a member of Jamiil Damul, appointed like members within senior positions of his government including; justice, social affairs, interior, and ministries of state.   Within this context, Somalia moved away from the African Union and became more aligned with the Middle East.

Upon Abdullah’s surprise election, he appointed a Norwegian-Somali oilman as his Prime Minister, Hassan, Ali Khaire.

Soma Oil and Gas is headquartered in the UK. It’s key people include; Hassan Ali Khaire and Michael Howard.

“In February 2016, a leaked memo, sent by a United Nations watchdog to diplomats in the United Kingdom and Norway, revealed that the executive director for Africa at Soma Oil and Gas was under investigation by the United Nations Monitoring group for Somalia and Eritrea for possible ties to extremist groups in East Africa, including al-Shabaab, which had claimed responsibility for a series of deadly terrorist attacks in Somalia.[17] The UN letter, dated 17 February 2016, showed investigators raised concerns over Khaire’s possible links to extremist groups after obtaining his “electronic contact list”, which it analysed with the cooperation of an unidentified UN member state.”

Al-Shabab is known for its Islamism, jihadism, and anti-Semitism.

Yesterday, Ilhan Omar stated she would introduce a bill to boycott Israel over its actions toward Palestinians.   She was flanked by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American.

January 2019, Ilhan Omar publically endorsed the new Somalia President, Mohamed, and shortly thereafter her brother-in-law was appointed Permanent Secretary to Prime Minister Khaire. Omar’s brother-in-law, Mohamed Keynan, is a US citizen.

Nancy Pelosi then nominated Omar to a seat on the US Foreign Affairs Committee.

“Security Executive Agent Directive 4 of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence states that “Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying include: (a) contact, regardless of method, with a foreign family member… or other person who is a citizen of or resident in a foreign country if that contact creates a heightened risk of foreign exploitation, inducement, manipulation, pressure, or coercion.”. According to Transparency International, Somalia has been ranked last among all nations on earth for the last 11 years for the “Corruption Perceptions index”.”

Omar’s Biography becomes more and more interesting as tributaries emerge with The Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Shabab.   Her rise becomes much more obvious, and planned.  Where is Huma Abedin?
