Is America Growing… or Declining Like Rome?

Is America growing or decling like Rome?

41BC, after the assassination of Julius Caesar, the Roman empire went through explosive growth. Why?

Caesar’s hand-picked successor was his nephew, Octavian. As most school children learn, Octavian attacked the renegade general Marc Antony, main squeeze of Cleopatra, took control of northern Africa and expanded his empire. But why was Egypt so important?

Octavian was named Augustus in 37BC,

but in that year, Rome had already sent 100 ships to the Red Sea. The Red Sea lanes gave the Romans a shortcut to the Arabian sea, Indian ocean and the Silk Road.

Silk wasn’t the only thing Rome imported from Asia,

though it was probably the most important. They also imported chemicals, (fragrances, embalming fluids, etc.) spices, ivory but most critical to Rome’s armies, steel.

For something to be important as an import, it must be either not available or expensive in the importer’s country, and this was especially true of silk and steel. To be sure, the Romans had silk, but to the Chinese, silk was the basis of much of their economy. After 2,000 years of minute advancements, they had refined the manufacturing process to the point where hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Chinese laborers were cranking out thousands of tons per year of extremely high-quality fabric that no one else in the world could replicate.

In steel, the process was even more acute. 

Roman steel was largely wrought iron, which is a low carbon form, molded into shape by heating and beating. Its low carbon content made it weak, heavy and brittle. Chinese steel could be cast into forms that were flexible, lighter and did not as easily break.

For the Romans, though, what was most important was not steel or silk, but something hardly mentioned in the texts. Branch banking.

To an empire, what you want is not important; what’s important is what you can buy. Rome could never have conquered China and taken its silk and steel. They had to buy it and to do that; they had to not only have money but move it.

Regardless of how powerful a country is, shipping gold across the seas is dangerous and expensive. The Romans, like the Greeks and Jews, solved this by using their temples as banks. Banks took in deposits and issued notes, promises written on paper in lieu of gold. If a person wanted or needed gold, they could have it, just as one who needs cash can get it from a bank, but if they don’t need it, it stays in the bank in their account. This meant the Romans did not need to continually ship gold to finance trade or construction, two things that require large amounts of money.

The Romans protected their temples with armies,

which was why locals kept their money there, but the real beauty of the steel and silk trade was Rome’s ability to tax it. The import taxes on steel and silk were as high as 25%, and the cost of these in the empire was staggering. It’s been estimated that a single bolt of Chinese silk may have cost the equivalent of 8 years of Roman wages. This gave the Romans the ability to create something that didn’t exist in 37BC. A standing army financed by wages and not plunder. Plunder may be a cheap way to finance a war, but you must keep finding new plunder.

In many ways, Bill Clinton, unwittingly, became the Octavian of his time…

though Octavian was a general and Clinton a draft dodger. Clinton’s claim to fame, (or infamy, as it may turn out) was to set the banks free. By eliminating Glass-Steagall and changing banking regulations, he set in motion a chain of events that led us to where we are today. A nation with a mammoth military financed through taxing and borrowing against trade.

Is this good or bad for America?

Like the weather, this is impossible to predict. On the one hand, the US has borrowed rivers of money. On the other, that river has bought us quite a lot. Aside from too many houses too many bars and too many malls, America has something else no one seems to notice. A gargantuan university system.
In Roman times, all roads led to Rome. The same is true here. 9 of the top 10 universities in the world and 35 of the top 50 are in the USA. Of course, you can get an education from a book, but that’s hardly the point.

A few years back, I lived inside the triangle engulfed by three universities, Harvard, MIT, and Tufts.

If you think of these institutions as places you get an education, you’re missing half the story. Harvard college is small, but its graduate school is enormous. The same is true of MIT and Tufts. The level of research going on in this triangle is staggering, and if you think it’s because of “American exceptionalism,” think again. The top students in these universities, as well as many of the professors, are from nearly every country on earth. As my daughter aptly put it when I asked her how many of her classmates in chemistry class at Wellesley were American, she said, “Just me and Eileen.”
To put this in its true perspective, America has 1,400 colleges and universities. The amount of money flowing through is probably higher than the GDP of 80% of the world’s nations. The amount of research being produced is hard to fathom, much less control.

Our Universities may be on the cusp of replacing what for 20,000 years has defined nations. Resources.

They are close to making oil obsolete. The effect on the USA is hard to fathom. Even though the price of computing has fallen by a factor of 3,000 in the last 20 years, the prices of oil and coal, on inflation-adjusted terms, have barely budged in the last 80 years. As Bill Gates once said, if the cost of transportation fell as fast as the cost of computing, you’d be able to buy a jet for what it used to cost for a neck-tie.

This has led to a one to one relationship between energy use and GDP growth. Imagine if this ratio changed by a factor of not 3,000, but just two. Imagine going from using 100 million barrels per day of oil to 50 million? It’s almost impossible to fathom. An electric car uses one-fifth the fossil fuel a gas or diesel powered auto uses. The US has 250 million vehicles!

The same is true of farmland, copper, and steel. We may be within a couple of decades of a family being able to produce almost everything they need to eat in their basements using as much energy as is created by a couple of hours on an exercise bike. In just the last two years, seed technology has raised some crop yields by 20% using the same soil and less fertilizer. Vegetables can already be grown in warehouses and can compete on a price basis with those shipped in from Mexico and sold in Walmart.

We’re close to being able to diagnose illnesses with a cell phone and where you can make love with your spouse that is 3,000 miles away in a hotel bed. We’re a decade away from being able to sit in a room and have a conversation with Einstein and your long-deceased grandmother.

Why is this important? For all of our history, the world has been ruled by empires, from the Romans to the Ottomans, the Han to the Ming, the British Empire to the USA. Imagine a world where everything you need is at your fingertips. Imagine a world where Empires no longer matter.

Is the USA declining, or, as in the case of Dinosaurs, are we becoming smaller and more sustainable?

Ocasio-Cortez: CIA Groomed, Soros Funded

Numerous oddities and revelations are emerging from the very odd Ocasio-Cortez:

The apartment where she was supposedly living in the Bronx neighborhood that got her elected hadn’t been lived in for roughly ten years according to the postman and various neighbors. The postman claimed mail would sit for sometimes months before anyone picked it up.  Neighbors claim they never saw her.   And a neighborhood grocery store claimed they might have seen her once. Ocasio-Cortez refuses to provide her actual current address claiming her life is in jeopardy.

She graduated from Boston University College with a dual major in international relations and economics. Yet her bio describes her employment as “Educational Director” and “bartender” – after graduating.  An Education Director requires specific licensing and education requirements not attained by Ocasio.  Her bartending job was at First Fix in Manhatten, while she claimed to be living in the Bronx, a 40 minute commute.

Ocasio’s LinkedIn page lists NO JOBS.

However, on LinkedIn, she is endorsed by – Julian Jensen.  His resume is quite interesting.   He endorses the time spent together with Ocasio at Boston College, where according to his resume he received a degree in television and film.   Subsequently, his current resume is a parallel, albeit with extensively more intellectual gravity, to Ocasio’s ascribed “partner”, Robert Riley.  In contrast, Riley’s resume appears faked and simplistic and provides no picture, no contact information, and a website that is locked and blocked.

Jensen’s LinkedIn page highlights the ‘also viewed list’ which includes:   Ilhan Omar, Jared Kushner, Cory Booker, and Ariella Schwartz.   Ariella was an organizer for Ocasio’s campaign with previous experience at Netflix, Turner Broadcasting  and CBS.   Ariella’s viewed list includes Alexandra Rojas a coordinator with Brand New Congress. All viewed lists include a wide array of staff for Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, both of whom have been directed to embrace Ocasio’s Green New Deal.

The Republicans have filed an FEC complaint because a PAC, created by the remnants of Bernie Sanders Socialists, representing Ocasio made secret payments to her ‘partner’ Riley Roberts which violated campaign finance laws.    The PAC, Brand New Congress, on its website advocates for the reinstitution of the Marshall Plan.

The Marshall Plan was instituted in 1947 under Truman to rebuild Europe after WWII.   It consisted of grants and a small amount of loans that ended up costing the US $44.3 billion.  That would translate to roughly $468.4 billion today.   It was the institutions of Socialism, Marxism and Totalitarianism that the Marshall Plan fostered and supported.  Much of this was done through the CIA whose Directors at the time included:   Rear Adm Sidney Souers, Lt Gen Vandenberg, Rear Adm Hillenkoetter, and Gen Walter Smith.

The largest recipient of the CIA funds under the Marshall Plan was Congress For Cultural Freedom.  This organization was founded by Melvin Lasky, Nikolai Nabokov and Michael Josselson in 1950.   Originally funded by the CIA, it was later funded by the Liberal Ford Foundation cabal.   “Its stated purpose was to find ways to counter the view that liberal democracy was less compatible with culture than communism. In practical terms it aimed to challenge the post-war sympathies with the USSR of many Western intellectuals and fellow travelors particularly among liberals and the non-Communist Left.”

In 1967, after the CIA involvement Congress For Cultural Freedom was discovered by The New York Times, it rebranded itself as the International Association For Cultural Freedom under Shephard Stone.  Stone had worked in the intelligence division of the military and later for the CIA .  He became partner for the Berlin version of The Aspen Insitute and was a prominent Bildeberger.  Obviously, CIA involvement expanded rather than contracted.

The European Intellectual Mutual Aid Fund which operated as an affiliate of the Cultural Freedom organization was later merged with the  – – – Open Society Foundation.  Under – George Soros.

Cultural Freedom published numerous magazines including Encounter, based in the UK, which was funded by the CIA and MI6.  The editor of the magazine was Melvin Lasky who had also founded Culture For Freedom.

Encounter magazine was founded by Stephen Spencer, a German Jew who was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, a poet, and a ‘described’ intellectual.   The concept behind the CIA’s Cultural Freedom organization was to harness far left Socialist Marxist Intellectuals who could influence society toward a belief in a fake utopia amidst a Marxist ideology.  They were dispensed throughout Europe and the US.

These artist intellectuals included:  Bertrand Russell, Alfred Ayre, Arthur Schlesinger, Ernst Reuter, Sidney Hook, Irving Brown, Tennessee Williams, Karl Jaspers, TS Eliot, John Dewey, James Bernham, Virginia Woolf, Richard Lowenthal, etc… 

Schlesinger worked for the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA.   A few of his closest friends included Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Henry Kissinger, various Roosevelts, various Rockerfellers, Kurt Vonnegut, Norman Mailer, Adlai Stevenson, etc… etc… etc.

Another notable ‘friend’ of Schlesinger was Ben Bradlee, Executive Editor of the Washington Post.   Bradlee worked in the information unit of the Office of Strategic Services/CIA which produced all the media propaganda materials.  His wife’s sister Mary Pinchet Meyer, was married to Cord Meyer, a CIA agent who was an operative instrumental in Operation Mockingbird under CIA Director, Allen Dulles.

What is being identified is an enormous power circle initiated by the CIA in collusion with a large House of Marxist Jews including George Soros to infiltrate and propagandize the US and Europe into a regime compatible with FDR’s vision for a New Deal that had yet to be completed, including Socialism and Totalitarianism, within the final phase of Globalization, Martial Law via impeachment, and The Marshall Plan reconfigured.

If an impeachment were to be successful and Pence eliminated, Pelosi would become the defacto President, and like FDR, have the Executive Power to put in place The Green New Deal.

If an impeachment is not attainable, the 2020 election will be rigged through the Electoral College elimination, Redistricting, which is already been tooled by Obama and Eric Holder, and illegal voting with the help of George Soros, or his son, Alex, should George die.

The manifesto was given rise by operatives in the CIA, MI6, and the use of ‘intellectual’ Marxists who cultivated a powered control via their writing, their music, and Hollywood.   Ocasio-Cortez was likely groomed by Hollywood, and despite her looney-tunes image, is backed by the remaining CIA Marxist/Liberals, Clinton, and Soros.  As such, Revolution has always been embraced by these Marxists as the means for instituting their Ideology.  

The Green New Deal: A Carbon Tax For Socialists

Ocasio-Cortez has stated that mankind will be vanquished in 12 years.  Her New Green Deal has a time frame of 10 years to implement assuming it starts – today.   In the EU, they continue to establish time frames reaching emission goals extending to 2050 – 31 years in the future.   China really doesn’t give a rat’s arse, they just agree to whatever proposal is put forth, sign on the dotted line, and then refuse to actually comply.   What makes the Green New Deal so ridiculous is that it only applies to the US.   So the rest of the world will keep producing their climate change pollution, push out their goals 31 years in the future, and we’ll all be Socially broke or dead.

The Green New Deal states that the US will be the major exporter of Green technology, expertise, products, and services.  But according to her calculations, there would be no one left to export to because they missed the train and did nothing – so they would be dead.

Who wrote the Green New Deal?

The Media would have us believe that Ocasio-Cortez was the author.  However, her acumen would beg to differ.  In fact, Ed Markay, who is listed as ‘co-author’, is likely the frontrunner.  However, given the world of politics, I imagine they both had the help of some powerful prompters who hired the best writers to create this monstrosity.

What is not so headlined is the fact that the Green Deal calls for the implementation of the “social cost of carbon”, which is essentially a tax first introduced by Obama.   It is basically the same ‘tax’ that disproportionally affects low income workers and resulted in the Yellow Vest Movement in France.  Not working too well.

The basic concept of a carbon tax is that the increased cost will incentivize industries to find ways to pollute less, and incentivize citizens to stay home more and conserve.  A number of economists feel this tax will lower emissions while creating more jobs.  But there is absolutely no correlative proof that a carbon tax creates jobs…and despite its implementation in France and Germany, they have failed again to reach their stated goals pushing the date ever further.  What it does provide is revenue for governments to offset deficit spending or divert elsewhere.

Today, the Federal and state governments impose excise taxes on gasoline.  The federal tax is 18.4cents per gallon, while state taxes vary but range roughly in the 31cent range.   We are already being taxed around 50cents per gallon.   Why isn’t this money spent on ‘green stuff’?

Where did this tax originate?

The Revenue Act of 1932 incorporated the first oil tax at 1cent per gallon.   The purpose?  To help balance the budget deficit.   Over 86 years the tax has increased by 5000%.  That’s called government spending.

According to a report by Science Direct in 2016, $28 billion in carbon revenues are collected each year from 40 different countries.  Of that total, 27% is used to subsidize green spending in energy efficiency, the balance is allocated to a general fund and to corporate and individual taxpayers through tax cuts and rebates.   In fact, Sweden, the UK, British Columbia, Mexico, Finland and Iceland spend -0-% on Green Funding.   Australia spends 15%.  Germany and Canada are not mentioned.

The point is simplistic. The Socialist Agenda is always ‘how funds should be spent’, rather than ‘how funds are spent’.

Which companies reap the reward of the Green Funding?

According to a report issued by Friends of Science,;

“Since 1991, the Energy Foundation has been the main instrument that a network of influential U.S. foundations has used to define a portfolio of policy options, political strategies, and energy technologies to address global warming. It was set up by way of large block grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, and MacArthur Foundation, and supported in later years by the Hewlett Foundation, Packard Foundation, and other funders. The Energy Foundation’s principal function is to “leverage money in a highly concentrated pattern on behalf of policies that shift markets, industry, and consumers in the direction of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency practices.

It should come as no surprise that the aforementioned foundations are ALL Liberal, Democrat affiliates.

Of course no Green Funding Dark Money scam is complete without highlighting Al Gore.  Between 1999 and 2019, Al Gore managed to amass a personal wealth rivaling Mitt Romney, pegged at over $300 million.  In 1999, his wealth was calculated at roughly $1.5 million all of which was inherited from his family.  His entire fortune was amassed through companies he started that mooched off the global warming scam.

And the Paris Climate Accord funds?  Those funds are predominantly shifted to spending in Africa whose carbon footprint is -0-.  If in fact Green Funding was Green, it would be spent on those countries whose footprint is the greatest – not the least…

When in doubt… follow der money.

And lastly, the media cites FDR’s New Deal as a compliment to the Green New Deal.  But FDR’s deal was the impetus that spiraled this country in a forever greater debt, a forever greater welfare, and a forever greater depletion of the middle class.  It is also noteworthy that the New Deal was implemented via Executive Order, because it would never have passed Congress.

BREXIT: A New Referendum?

The UK’s Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn has announced that they would back a new and improved referendum to clarify that the people of the UK really don’t support BREXIT at all.  According to Corbyn, having such a vote would instantly erase the chaos that exists in the UK Parliament where tensions are strung tight, voices are loud, and insults are slung with the precision of an AK-47.

Short sided?

Obviously the ploy is to stage a new vote that will be rigged better than the last one to assure the ‘stayers’ a win.  Should that occur, the Parliament can sit back and actually do something of value to earn their keep.  However, it is a highly inflammatory move that could likely send the UK into an all out civil uprising given that the people are quite aware of the corruption.

In keeping with the illusion of fairness, Corbyn says that they will call this a ‘confirmation referendum’ – just to make sure that what was already voted on by the public is really what they still want because he is convinced that the last vote was rigged.

In contrast, Donald Tusk, of the EU Commission has announced that an extension of the March 29 deadline would likely be approved by all 27 member states in the vein of grace and goodwill.  YUCK.

At this point, Theresa May is watering down the BREXIT agreement to such an extent, that in all likelihood, it is no longer BREXIT at all.  Shadow Secretary, Emily Thornberry, went even further tweeting that Theresa May’s prposed deal be put forth before the public, and if they don’t accept it then it is a slam dunk to “remain”!

If it sounds like Blackmail, it probably is blackmail.

One of the major concerns regarding BREXIT is the impact it will have not on the UK, but on the European Union.  Not only is the UK a positive contributor, but with Germany’s growth staggering close to the point of recession, and France embroiled in a budget row excluding the demands of the Yellow Vests, who is going to fund the globalists?

What is interesting is the timing.  Theresa May has implied she will be stepping down from her role this summer.   If in fact a no deal is allowed and an extension is not requested or approved, May will go down in history as the cause.  If an extension is added to the March 29 deadline for three months as Juncker is hinting, that deadline would align with May’s predecessor taking over.   If May is just borrowing time, the resulting chaos that would engulf the UK would coincide with her quick flight to lala land.

The end result would be the sanctioning of the UK by the EU Commission, or an automatic remain injunction, both of which would send shockwaves and likely result in massive protests.

Given the Leave contingent are representative of conservative political ideologies, it follows that the Socialists are the remain.  Socialists dominate the EU Commission.  Germany is a highly Socialist state and Merkel has been at the helm to denounce any negotiation proposal brought forth by May.  Reconfiguring the costs that were born by the UK and distributing them proportionally to the remaining EU members will put Germany in the forefront to absorb the greatest proportion.   Given Germany’s economy has shown signs of cracking, the burden is enough to pull Germany into a recession.  And if Germany falls, the EU falls.

Hedge Funds are poised to react quickly to buy or short the pound, and the profits will revert to those holding the puppet strings.   But until the game is over, everyone is poised, hand ready to hit the red button – sell or buy…

Medicare For All! Another Subrogation By The New World Order

Medicaid enrollees now represent 21% of the entire US population.  The Census Bureau estimates the US poverty rate at roughly 11%.  That would indicate that 10% of the US population is on the Medicaid Program paying nothing for a service they are not eligible to receive – roughly 35 million people, according to a study out of UC Davis.

As of 2016, the average cost of healthcare per person in the US surpassed $10,000 annually.  That would transpose to 35 million people getting the benefits of $10,000 in healthcare for a total spending of $350,000,000,000. Who is paying?   You and I.  These costs contribute to the untenable healthcare crisis in the US that is described as Socialist medicine.

Medicare was created in 1966.   Within four years the cost of healthcare immediately began to accelerate, rising 800% over the next 40 years.  As a result, Medicare revenue generated from an employee’s payroll now covers roughly 1/3 of the cost.  The rest is ‘deficit spending’.   Today there are roughly 30 active doctors per 10,000 patients.  In 1965 there were roughly 15 active doctors per 10,000 patients, meaning we doubled the number of doctors.

Therefore, the argument that the cost of healthcare is directly attributable to the scarcity of supply of doctors – would on the surface appear – false.

Medicaid was created simultaneously to provide healthcare to those who had need but no resources.  Medicaid is fully funded by US taxpayers through the Federal government – it is universal healthcare – however, those it serves pay $-0- into the system.   ‘Legally’ a legal immigrant may not collect on Medicaid until they have been a resident for five years.  However, in reality, Medicaid is one of the most corrupt, fraudulent organizations within the US government’s socialist system, implemented by Democrat President Johnson.

“Fraud, abuse and waste in Medicaid cost states billions of dollars every year, diverting funds that could otherwise be used for legitimate health care services. Not only do fraudulent and abusive practices increase the cost of Medicaid without adding value – they increase risk and potential harm to patients who are exposed to unnecessary procedures. In 2015, improper payments alone— totaled more than $29 billion according to the Government Accountability Office.”

But that isn’t the only driver of healthcare costs that are now anywhere from 3x to 8x that of other developed countries, and rising.  Why?

Simple supply and demand may prove the answer.

Over the last two decades, the Pac-man merger and acquisition of hospitals has been phenomenal, averaging roughly 40 to 140 deals per year that swallowed between 88 to 300 hospitals per year.    Less hospitals – less competition – higher prices.

But it isn’t just hospitals gaining traction, it is Big Pharma companies too who are creating monopolies that appear to be leading the sheep into a nationalized healthcare system whether we want to or not, wherein only One will remain.

During Obama’s tenure, there were 25 Big Pharma merger/acquisitions that were valued over $10 billion.   The purchasers were predominantly US and German, and the sellers were nearly exclusively US.

These consolidations eliminate basic competition allowing for massive increases in cost that is not necessarily trickled down to physicians, and emphasizes what would likely happen if the US were pushed into a Medicare for all scenario.

But it isn’t just Healthcare.

Between 2011 and 2019, there were 46 mergers valued over $20 billion each, six of those were valued over 100 billion, and the largest targeted for this year is valued at $442 billion.  This decade has accounted for more mergers than the previous four decades combined – and the decade is not yet over. 

These mega-conglomerate companies not only determine the price we pay for goods and services, medical care and procedures, they control the election funding, and thus the election results.  They control our media, and what we think, and they control the education that our children receive K-12 and throughout college.

For decades the reason politicians continue to enter office broke and leave office mega-millionaires is because they are ‘incentivized’ by the mega-conglomerates which are more than happy to make a hefty deposit into a Swiss, or Cayman, or Bermuda Bank account that can not be traced.

The Bigger Plan…

Whether the Protocols of Zion are ‘authentic’ or plagiarized, doesn’t really matter given that the content still defines the means by which an Order could gain control of the World.  In order to initiate the New World Order, certain pieces of the puzzle have to align perfectly including; control of the money – Federal Reserve System, control of the media – propaganda and censorship, abolition of The Constitution, elimination of religion, creation of internal societal chaos, institution of government and personal debt, untenable taxation, liberalism, introduction of greater criminal element – ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the installation of the Mexico Wall, the nullification of Education – college graduates whose education is comparable to an eighth grader, and the ultimate return to a global Kingship or Monarchial rule – (could BREXIT disrupt the UK Monarchy?)…

Control of the Healthcare system, which has already been done in terms of Medicare and Medicaid, provides two separate functions, subjugation of the people and elimination of those who are not willing to accept this right of passage of the chosen ones allowing the social order to be implemented so as to erect the throne.  In other words, submit or die.

While the actual Protocols are subject to controversy and uncertain authorship they were written more than a century ago and accurately reflect the evolution of the US, the EU, and much of the world and thus deserve to be evaluated from the standpoint that they provide us with an outline of what is being calculated so that we can combat its ultimate full implementation.

You can’t fix something you don’t know is broken.  And The Protocols give us a blow by blow insight so that we can not decry ‘ignorance’ because it has been thoroughly and concisely outlined for all to read – should you choose. 

To claim it is simply a conspiracy contributes to the illusion.

UK saysTrump Demonizing Socialist Democrats…

The new Media Meme circulating throughout the US and EU is that Republicans are ‘demonizing Democrats as being Socialists, baby killers and anti-Semitic.   But, they are.  So it isn’t demonizing, it is reporting facts. 

Even the very non-independent, Independent UK Telegraph, has jumped on this rather bizarre twisted assertion claiming that Trump set it in motion at his SOTU address when he stated that America will not succumb to Socialism.   Of course, Democrat/Socialists are quick to point out that the US already has socialist agencies within its ranks including the US military, welfare, Medicare, and Medicaid.   And to some extent this is true, even Congress is socialist, they collect a wage for doing nothing.  But it is also worth noting who voted in these socialist programs and why.

Medicare and Medicaid are relatively new having been created in 1966 under the auspices of Lyndon Johnson, Democrat.  Since then the cost of healthcare has risen 800%.  Well golly-gee, that worked well.  And despite arguments that doctor supply triggered the rise in costs, the supply of doctors has doubled per 100,000 legal citizens in this same time period.  Well go figure…

Welfare was a part and parcel of The New Deal signed into law by Roosevelt, a Democrat, through Executive Order, bypassing Congress because, well, there was no way in tarnation it would have ever passed otherwise!

Congressional salaries didn’t even exist until 1855 when Democrat President, Franklin Pierce, a proponent of slavery, a lawyer who was sworn into office by pledging his allegiance to a law book instead of the Bible, effected a relatively lucrative salary to Congress which – stuck.  Only to be ‘doubled’ by Democrat President Andrew Johnson in 1865.  Halleluja!

Of course, the point of the UK Independent article was to ‘demonize’ Trump by claiming that Republicans are demonizing Democrats, and well, it becomes the Demon Party ticket.

Of course the entire article emerges as rather snarky and wimpishesque as it miffs about the bad, bad deplorables who are calling the Democrats Socialists and baby killers, and after two judo years of annihilating Trump – they just can’t stand suddenly finding themselves the – target.   It reminds me of Macron.

The fact that the Democrats have rallied behind late state abortion/infanticide, and increased Socialist agendas, seems to allude the author’s brain realm.  The fact that the Socialist organizations instituted in our government were done at the behest of Socialist/Democrats, would also seem to allude the – author.

However, I am left with One Socialist organization in the US that bears discussion – the military.

The history of an organized military dates back to 2700 BC, which would coincide with the development of trade and travel and borders, but most specifically Sumer (Iraq) and Elam (Iran) as they battled for supremacy.    Dynasties rose and fell according to their military aggressions, supported by their monarchial rule.   I suppose in that essence they were always supported by their respective governments.  But it differs in philosophy from the concept of Socialism in that they, the military, perform a very self sacrificing service for a small pittance of change – whereas welfare and ‘social programs’ are all about giving money to those who contribute – nothing.

Back to the UK Independent article demonizing Trump for demonizing Socialist Democrats.

The Alice in Wonderland Green Deal issued by Ocasio-Cortez was simply – well, Alice in Wonderland, and yet according to the non-independent Independent, it was endorsed by 70 Democrats in the House and 12 in the Senate.   Which makes them – Socialists.  Not sure why that isn’t a relative scientific numeric fact-thingy…

So we are calling a spade a spade, and they don’t like it, and instead they call it demonizing?

In the end all this reveals that even some of the more simplistic journalism isn’t even attempted by ‘journalists’ lest they discover that Socialism has multiple definitions – those who work and sacrifice for their wage – and those who do nothing and get forever freebies.   The Socialist programs instituted by the Democrats were created to dummy down the population as a whole, people were given handouts to do – nothing.  The military was created to defend, honor, and sacrifice their ‘everything’ for the people.  As such, the comparison is hugely – remote.

NOT THE SAME.  And I am more than miffed that this travesty of definition has been so morphed and spoiled by the Liberal/Socialist/Democrat individuals…  into a wimpy miff-faced, you hurt my feelings after two years of absolute hate filled chaos logged and lodged at Trump and anyone who supports our President, that the people seem to submit to the failed definition, including politicians who supposedly managed Harvard degrees despite their poverty upbringing!

How can that possibly be?   I think I’ll have to ask the Wizard.   Because, surely, only the Wizard could possibly know the answer…

POOHAH!

 

Europe’s Female Leaders: Merkel, May, Wallstrom – Femme Fatale FAILURES

Germany continues its attempt to vilify Trump while treading lightly as they dip their pinky toes into a possible recession at the making of their Socialist, Communist government. 

The Socialist liberals don’t like Trump’s wall, they hailed Obama’s ‘fence wall’, which was erected for the same purpose, but side with Pelosi in regard to the anti-humanitarianism a wall evokes.   Of course, they did nothing about the Berlin Wall which was created as a prison to keep people in – as opposed to keeping illegals – out.  It was the US under Reagan that brokered the fall of the Berlin Wall to allow free access among nationalized Germans.

But it isn’t about the wall, it isn’t about humanitarianism, it is about demonizing Trump in light of the reformed Socialist failure toward globalization with Germany at the helm.

Theresa May has informed her closest advisor that she will be resigning this summer two years early amidst the debacle of failing to bring about an organized BREXIT negotiation. Of course, she was the pawn of all pawns in this chess game, expendable, her dignity and respect in an utterly deplorable shambles.  Perhaps she went into this fusion of chaos with ‘eyes wide shut’, but I doubt it, and if she had, certainly she is leaving having completely disgraced the UK and herself, while quite possibly creating a spectacular ‘deplorable’ Fall.  Without shame, without compassion or a voice for her people, her legacy will be an engraving on her headstone, and Les Miserables may be invoked.

Merkel too is likely to leave amidst a deplorable escalation of crime, lacking negotiating tacticals, and an economy that is nose diving radically.  But perhaps that is – the game for the EU.   An economy, a society, must be destroyed before one can truly rule it within a globalized fashion of dictatorship – Hitler was Germany’s own example.  Bringing down the stalwarts;  France, Germany and the UK, would spiral the entire EU aligned countries.

Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister, Wallstrom,  a self declared ‘feminist’, serves the criminals at the expense of her own women and girls, leaving them without support or retribution in a land that has spiraled into the soulless depths of rape, assault, bombs, fires, and  crime.

These are the women of the EU.  These are the female models – the humanitarians?

Germany’s Deutsche Welle media outlet, a government catered institution much like the Washington Post, prints scathing opinions and articles defiantly anti-Trump while embracing the likes of Pelosi, who would seemingly be wishing, ‘mother may I please’ become President of the US at the ripe age of 80.

Today, DW’s US correspondent, Michael Knigge, would have the audacity to site an argument against Trump declaring a state of emergency to fund the wall given that ‘the US has been in a perpetual state of emergency’ since 1979, which is actually a story drudged up in 2014 during Obama’s reign of terror.   Of course the fact that Germany was the causal force that took the globe into WWI and WWII seems to elude this author.   Perhaps we should delve into the Bolshevik revolution instigated by Germans seeking to overthrow the Russian Monarchy.  Or the 500 year long Germanic invasions of the Roman Empire?

Knigge goes on to ‘ad nauseum’ Pelosify himself as being in alignment with this liberal Socialist who has seemingly garnered a wealth of over $200 million through self-seeking contracts given to her husband, a VISA scam, and insider trading tactics used by herself and infinite other politicians to exploit the system and line their pockets.

In essence, Most, if not all, of Trump’s most vicious critics are angry because he is winning, because their tight apple-cart just got ransacked and dumped, because in all their infinite glory representing an army of 100,000, they still can’t beat one man – Trump!

WHOAH!

SOCIALISM – Venezuela – And The US Election…

The Democrat candidates for President have come out of the woodwork brandishing  golden torches signifying their ability to set the world on fire!   Within days, the wind blew out the flame, the media hunkered into silence, and the candidates retreated to their respective estates licking their self ascribed wounds while attempting to quell their deflated ego’s which had been  quite literally – scorched.  OUCH!

Kamala Harris was ablaze as she boldly announced her rigor of extreme Socialism only to find that all her fellow Democrat candidates had been cued with the same dispensary of spew – and The People were laughing.   They mocked the agenda that had no platform, while the media vainly attempted to re-spin the fallen chaos of Socialism that spiraled Venezuela into oblivion and call it ‘bad luck’.   Spurred into action, the MSM regurgitated article after article likely provided by the cabal as they sought to claim that socialism had nothing to do with the economic roil in Venezuela, it was simply a fluke and could happen to any country…

To support that spin, they even instituted a new and improved interim President to re-harness Venezuela into glory and fuel the belief that the problem was just – Maduro.   As such, the cabal instituted a new Socialist, Globalist to prove their point, Juan Guiado.   Reminiscent of Justin Trudeau, Guiado is backed by the UN, the EU Commission, France, UK, and Germany, in addition to the US, Japan, and a host of come aboards.   Certainly Maduro and his predecessor, Chavez, drove Venezuela into poverty, no one discounts that fact, but Guiado is no different, except that unlike his predecessors he is a prop of The Cabal.  

Guiado’s party, Popular Will, is an adjunct of Socialist International, a major European political party whose current president is the former PM of Greece, George Papandreou who resigned as PM as a result of the Greek debt crisis… and founded the Movement of Democratic Socialists whose ideology is pro-European.

It thus becomes clear that Guiado is a puppet of the European Socialists flanked by the banking cabal and George Soros.  And Venezuela is subjected to a Euro Coup.

But this Venezuelan Socialist ideology fell on its face in the US with the Far Left Democrat candidates outing themselves as hailing from that platform.   Raising their torches, like the good little minions they are, the tactic imploded.   And as they snivel in their dungeons waiting to be rebranded, remolded, and recreated, out steps Starbuck’s CEO, Howard Schultz.

While Schultz is a Democrat, having endorsed Hillary for President, he is potentially running as an Independent. Why?   Because it has become the largest US party holding 42% of the popular vote and because it distances him from the Socialists.

The media has focused largely on the millennial preference for Socialism, throwing out statistics ranging from 1/3 to ½, but their voter turnout is roughly 50% with about 55% of those supporting a Democrat candidate.   Socialism is NOT the force.   And the Democrats candidates were fooled into a failing platform.   Or perhaps they were a distraction…

Schultz is definitely not one to fear equations of success having amassed his own fortune from pure grit and is now speculated to be worth well over $3 billion.    While he has claimed he is very much against Trump, he has declined to say why, and he has yet to define a specific political platform from which he may run other than to say he believes reducing the national debt is his number one priority and that the O’Casio/Kamala Warren socialist ideals are basically – stupid.   It could be that Schultz is the Democrat version of Trump and The Cabal is testing his ability to garner numbers.

Controversy spins around him as Democrats are concerned he would split the votes and thus give the election to Trump.   But what they fail to understand is that a Socialist Democrat – is a split, and outside of the millennial population, reality would find few supporters and more than a few enemies within the corporate and high net wealth world of elite who have no intention of forking over 70% of their income.

While the Democrat’s appear to be screaming, ‘don’t do it’, any longer distractions are the game, and Schultz may be the new game in town much to the chagrin of the distractions.   With 9 Democrats already lining up to run in the 2020 election – they will need to destroy each other before one can rise.   Given Schultz is slated to run as an Independent, he will be immune from these initial mudballs as the Democrats slay their own.   And the mud she will sling given none of these diehards are remotely squeaky clean.

Kamala is already giving her rendition of Porky Pig regarding Medicare for all.   A few of the runners are ‘former mayors’ with absolutely no qualifying experience in any realm of anything.   Delaney is calling for ‘international tax reform’ – I guess he thinks being President means he is the global head honcho.   Kirsten Gillibrand is running as a ‘young mom’.   Yang believes in a universal income… I thought that was called Welfare?   Booker thinks that his record of backing liberal policies makes him the perfect candidate.   And then there remain in the wings the remnants: Biden, Sanders, Beto, Kasich, and the naysayer – Michelle whose claim to fame includes such notable accomplishments as being female, being black, and spending 8 years in the White House launching a failed organization to combat child obesity.

At least Schultz has charisma and the brassiness of a Donald.   Unfortunately, it would seem he has no policies. Personally, I think it would be quite lovely to see a skew in the Democrat Party vote given their divine assault on our Constitution and our national security. We shall see.

VENEZUELA: The Soros Cabal Moves In

The Venezuelan crisis has reached its maze of tentacles into the US polarizing political opinions and creating riffs among previously affirmed buddies and friends.  Why?  Because of the fear of war, coup, regime change, and another Syria.  I agree that the US should not plunge into another Syria, but I also understand that the less than intellectual US media provide absolute drivel when it comes to factual information regarding the Venezuela crisis.  And so, people are turning to Facebook for their analysis and trolls for their insight.  A sad evolution to be sure.

On the ground in Venezuela, the analysis of events is a lot less confusing:

Maduro is corrupt.  No one disagrees.  He has a net worth of somewhere between $2 million and $295 million, and was paid $96 million in 2018.  Even the mathematically challenged can read this one.   The man’s wealth is said to have occurred because he ‘made smart stock investments’.   Hopefully this statement too is obvious.  In essence, Maduro bilked his country, sent it plummeting into the abyss of abject economic chaos wherein people were eating their dogs and eating the prolific abundance of rats to survive.  He has now essentially invoked martial law in order to sustain a power hold as the people revolt.

For the past few years emigration to neighboring countries has been massive, by 2018 10% of the population had left with an additional 57% wanting to leave.   They have nothing.  90% live in abject poverty.  Maduro’s response was to say that there was no crisis, everything was just fine…

Because Venezuela is a Socialist/Communist government, and many industries are nationalized, competition was ineffective.  Between 1999 and 2016, two thirds of all companies in Venezuela left. Unemployment is now reaching 50% and inflation is tipping 500%, while oil revenue is nearly nonexistent compared to historic revenues.  There are no funds to run a country, so Maduro’s only solution – divert those remaining revenues to – Maduro.

Because this is a point-by-point example of failed Socialism, the US Media chose to rephrase it so as to continue to support the rising Socialist ideology in the US.  Ocasio-Cortez and Kamala Harris are epitomizing this shift as they call for a restructuring of the Democrat Party into Socialist Democracy – much like the collapsing countries in the EU; Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc…

Enter Juan Guaido.  He has invoked himself as interim or temporary President of Venezuela to bridge between an ousted Maduro and a new election.   Guaido is himself a member of the Popular Will Party which is – “Socialist”, but distances itself from Chavez Socialism and calls itself a human rights socialist…party that supports globalization.

China has at stake $50 billion in loans and investments it has made over the last decade to Venezuela.  Russia has at risk roughly $6 billion in investments with Venezuela.   Trump just initiated sanctions against Venezuela’s government run oil company CITGO.  What these sanctions do is protect any revenues generated from the sale of their inventory and production of gas by requiring that the money be placed in a sort of trust account that Maduro has no control over.

In essence, what the MSM is not understanding is that this move actually protects both China and Russia’s investments and creates a void for Maduro to continue to siphon off the revenue for his own offshore accounts.

The supposed recognition of Guaido is unimportant in that vein.   He is a globalist, likely propped up by Soros and reminiscent of Trudeau and Macron in his supposed ‘youth appeal’.

The European countries supporting Guaido include the Soros Cabal:  France, Germany, Belgium, UK and Spain.   Other countries recognize Guaido as an interim given the Maduro circumstances: Japan, US, Australia, Israel and Canada   Russia and China are adamantly opposed because Guaido is likely a Soros puppet and his takeover of the country would further alienate their outstanding monetary interests.  The MSM is attempting to spin that Guaido is US backed, a Trump puppet, in order to deflect the fact that as a Globalist, he is obviously in the Soros Cabal.  The memes being parlayed from the likes of;  Global Research, David Icke, The Guardian, and a host of liberal outlets.

The Center For Strategic And International Studies has approved of Guaido stating that Venezuela’s assets should be transferred to the control of either the UN or the Catholic Church.   That itself should set off alarms!   John Hamre, CEO for CSIS, was former Deputy Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton, worked on the Obama transition team and is Chairman of the Defense Policy Board.  The current list of Board members of DPB reads like a who’s who of Swampland:  Richard Danzig, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, Robert Kaplan, Stephen Biddle, Robert Gallucci, etc…

In other words, The Cabal is and has been pushing for control of Venezuela for some time. Their puppet, Capriles, did not make the cut as intended, and like Syria, Venezuela has assets they want, and alignments they want severed.   It is not a US coup.   It is a Cabal coup and Maduro is not unlike Gaddafi or Assad.  Just another nonrelevant to be ejected.

Maduro is now asking to talk to Trump – likely to explain the choice… Cabal or Maduro.

World Economic Forum -A Soros Hollywood Affair

The Davos Summit or World Economic Forum, is nearly over and they are coming away with some major accomplishments as they prepare to board their Gulf Stream jets and jettison away into the swirl of yellow plume skies…

What have they accomplished so far?

Nothing.  They just talked the talk while ignoring the walk and readied to leave in a surge of CO2 pollution as their 1500 jets blazoned the skies.   It was no different than the G-20 Summit, the G-8 Summit, The Paris Accord Summit, the NATO Summit, the Healthcare for all Summit, The Inspire Summit, the BRICS Summit and the 100+ other annual Summits that are really about a bunch of back slapping politicians, Hollywood actors and self-proclaimed activists who want to hear themselves speak.  Yes – celebrities are invited to attend because the Summit awards artists (actors and musicians) the Crystal Award.  Actors describe their ‘vision of the world’ because of course theirs is pre-eminent.  It has devolved into a Summit of fantasyland narcissists and uber elite narcissists discussing what is best for their subjects, The People.  How droll.

In November 2018, there were no less than 25 separate ‘Summits’, in October there were 21, you get the drift…  These Summits have become a forum for self grandizing.  Do we really believe that the likes of Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett should decide world policies?

Merkel managed to slam Trump and the Deplorables while sending her Foreign Minister to plead with Trump to be like Obama, pretty please.   And Soros, who is an annual attendee, gave a scathing speech about China and XI Jinping while continuing his criticism of Facebook and Google – two major operatives of – Soros.  Soros is furious with Jinping because China continues to move away from his open society initiative toward a more sovereign nation and that is cause for a scurrilous spiel of expletive laced spew!

While the media in the UK and US was cryptic in their reference to President Trump’s nonattendance, Macron, Lavrov, Xi Jinping and Theresa May were all absent as well.  Each sited their own reasoning, which amounted to resolving issues at home.

What Soros offered was a new and improved United Nations that would rule the world under the tenants of his open society premise instead.  He emphasized repressive regimes with IT monopolies that his open society could not ‘destroy’ so as to initiate his plan to infiltrate his own monopolies (Facebook and Google) which espoused his ideals and rules of order and chaos.

But Soros anger may have a core point to his blistering, blustering anger.  According to Zero Hedge, of the 12 biggest Billionaires in attendance, Soros was the only one to have secured a net lost in the last ten years amounting to – 61%.  And he’s peeved!   Everyone else saw their wealth expand exponentially including the top tier Zuckerberg at 1853%, Marc Benioff at 829% and Steven Schwarzman at 486%.

The venue menu included a Caesar salad for a mere $48, a club sandwich for $42.50, and a hamburger for $41.  But hey, given that state taxpayers foot the bill… nyeh.

At the end of it all, everyone goes back to their respective country, yawns, and continues along the same path they were on the previous week, the previous month and previous years as though nothing has changed.  Those that desperately want globalization return home to push – globalization, and those that don’t, push sovereignty.   It is a waste of time, money and pollutants.

And yet they continue ad nauseum each and every year.

I applaud Trump for shrugging it off.

So what happened at the 2018 Summit – a Year in Reflection?

Soros stated that Trump wanted to create a mafia state.  Soros blasts Social Media giants because they didn’t garner him the US election as he demanded.   Dhragi hits out on Trump comments on the dollar.   Soros tells the EU they should prop up Africa’s economy.   Soros hits out on China and Russia totalitarianism.  Soros says Trump is a temporary phenomena who will disappear in 2020.  Soros says the survival of the world is at stake because of Jinping and Trump.

Do you see a pattern… help me please!  The entire summary of the summit was about what ‘Soros Said’.

And some pundit, Jennifer Jacobs, a White House spokesperson for Bloomberg, is aghast because Trump dared to schmooze upwards of 15 company executives while in attendance.   I mean, isn’t that what everyone – does?

The bottom line. Soros speeches indicate he is deathly afraid of Jinping and Trump – not even Putin was awarded the typical demonization reprimand. What is most telling is the fact that Soros unabated fear would seem to highlight the fact that he has lost his ju-ju (to borrow a word from a friend), and he is sliding into obscurity and failure.  I imagine for a man of Soros character, failure is far worse than Hell.
