TRUMP’S FOREIGN POLICY REVEALED IN DEED IF NOT WORD

TRIPARTITE ALLIANCE MADE IN HELL: ISRAEL – SAUDI ARABIA – U.S.

TRUMP’S FOREIGN POLICY REVEALED IN DEED IF NOT WORD

The world’s fate hangs on a real estate salesman’s grasp of world affairs

Were the kings and czars of yesteryears any wiser?

—

Sometimes a simple math can apply to diplomacy and global politics.

If A = B, and B = C, therefore, A = C.

Now substitute, Israel for A, Saudi Arabia for B, and Trump’s foreign policy for C – and what you will get is the reason Trump chose to make his first foreign trip first to Saudi Arabia and then to Israel.

That – in a nutshell – is what we can expect for the next four years. That’s the wheat and the meat of Trump’s foreign policy. The rest is just chaff and fluff. Distractions and diversions.

They say action speaks louder than words. Trump’s first overseas trip is the action that says it all. And so do the Saudi and Israeli politics.

TRUMP STARTS HIS FIRST FOREIGN TRIP IN SAUDI ARABIA, ISRAEL

Guess where Donald Trump is at the moment? In the air, on his way to Saudi Arabia, the first stop on his first foreign trip.

Guess where his second stop will be? Israel.

‘Nuff said?

“The more the world changes, the more it stays the same” (Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, 1808-1890)

THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND

It is well known that Iran has been a sworn enemy of both Israel and Saudi Arabia for decades. And since the U.S. government has hitched its wagon to these two middle-eastern countries, ever since 1979, Iran has been a sworn enemy of the United States as well.

So is an enemy of my enemy my friend? You betcha/

Donald Trump has been castigating Iran both during his campaign and since taking office. It’s one of the few consistent messages he has delivered in the last 12 months.

It is also well known that Saudi Arabia, in cahoots with the U.S. government (Obama-Hillary), has been behind the so-called ISIS insurgency in Syria. And that Trump has personal business interests in Saudi.

As John Hall, an FB friend of mine from Texas put it today, “President-elect Donald Trump registered eight companies during his presidential campaign that appear to be tied to hotel interests in Saudi Arabia, according to a report in The Washington Post.”They buy apartments from me,” Trump said during the Alabama rally. “They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”

What is less well known, however, thanks to our lamestream media coverups, is that Israel is also a part of this satanic alliance (see “The ISIS Islamic Terrorists are Supported by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia,” Times of Israel, https://shar.es/1RbHos, Sep 2014).

No wonder Syrian Permanent Representative to the UN, Bashar al-Jaafari, on Apr 12 of this year, accused Israel of supporting Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria and indirectly, but significantly, aiding the terrorist group (see Jerusalem Post, Apr 13, 2017 – https://goo.gl/GH68bt).

This, of course, was followed by silence by the American lamestream media.

INCINDIARY ALLIANCES

So what do we have now brewing in this middle-eastern bloody bordello?

In word, a major conflict. Perhaps even a world war.

Israel and Saudi Arabia, who officially have no diplomatic relations, have become friends because of the common enemies. And Trump holding hands with both, facing off Iran, Russia and Syria on the other side, while Turkey is wavering in between the two camps.

It’s the incendiary stuff world wars are made of. And here we have a mere real estate salesman in the middle of this brouhaha with his finger on the red button.

God save us all… mostly from stupidity and arrogance of such people.

Or not. Maybe we should all get what we deserve, especially the Trump supporters.

After all, I also voted for “Don the Con.” It was only the second first time in my life that a politician has been able to pull the wool over my eyes. (The first time was Pierre Trudeau in 1978).

I am not proud of either mistake and am ready to take my punishment from the Divine.

US President Donald Trump landed in Israel today, welcomed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the entire cabinet after the Israeli leader made it mandatory for all ministers to attend the reception, having learned that some planned to skip the ceremony.

With a large military contingent as honor guards lined up outside the Air Force One, Netanyahu said “welcome, our good friend” as he shook hands with Trump.

Trump and his daughter Ivanka, who converted to Judaism as she married Jared Kushner, now also a Trump advisor, later prayed at the holiest of Jewish sites – Jerusalem’s Western Wall.

“I wonder what Trump and his Jewish daughter Ivanka prayed for?” tweeted Anna Ahronheim, an Israeli military correspondent (@AAhronheim).

ALTZAR: All this public display of Trump’s “Jewishness” will obviously play well in New York. But I wonder how many supporters Trump will have lost across the country as a result?

UPDATE MAY 18, 2017

TIME MAGAZINE COVER SHOWS BOTH MALICE AND IGNORANCE

This morning, TIME tweeted its new cover with a comment, “it’s been a decade since @TIME did not have a cover line” – http://ti.me/2rugiU5.

9dea832b-72e8-46c4-b634-069ae60c0b35_cx0_cy11_cw0_mw1024_s_n_r11

The implication: Picture is worth a thousand words.

Yet, this image is also a picture of malice and ignorance.

Malice, because the lamestream media have been biting at Trump incessantly like a pack of hyenas trying to widen the rift with Russia which Obama had opened.

Ignorance, because the onion domes shown in the picture are NOT the Kremlin. They are part of Saint Basil’s Cathedral which lies across from the Kremlin on the southeast side of the Red Square.

So I tweeted back to TIME about its cover:

“Provocative? Yes. True? No. If you cared about the truth, you might have painted the Star of David over the Trump White House.”

MAY 18, 2017

TIME COVER IS BOTH LATE AND WRONG

Earlier this week, I published a comment about the latest TIME magazine cover which depicts the Trump White House with Moscow’s Saint Basil’s onion domes on rooftop. The apocryphal implication is that “the White House was transforming into Kremlin” (The Independent) –

https://www.facebook.com/groups/171577496293504/permalink/1306407259477183/

TIME’s cover was both a day late and a dollar short. Make that, 24 years late and 2,200 miles (3,500 km) off the mark. Back in Jan 1993, the Truth in Media published this cartoon depicting the Bush/Clinton White House as a branch office of the Saudis. The headline read: United Emirates of America.

AYATOLLAH KLINTONMEINI

After the Clinton administration allowed the Iranians, among some supposed U.S. “enemies” to arm the Muslims in Bosnia, the Truth in Media published another cartoon depicting Bill Clinton as “Ayatollah Klintonmeini” (Apr 1996 – http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins/tim96-04a.html).

Here’s an excerpt from that 21-year old editorial:

“Ironically, it is containing and defanging the new Russia that “Ayatollah Klintonmeini’s” infatuation with Islam is all about. As is the whole Balkan affair, a mere segment of the gigantic “Green Interstate” which the globalists are building – a Muslim sphere of influence stretching from Pakistan to Bosnia. We already “own” all the former Soviet Islamic republics, Pakistan and Afghanistan in Russia’s southern soft underbelly. And we also “own” Turkey. That’s the “Islamic Ring” around Russia’s southern neck (see the map).

In Eastern Europe, the former Soviet dominions on Russia’s western frontier are now also all American/German minions. These “would-be” new NATO members will form an “Iron Ring” around Russia’s Euro-neck – from the Baltic to the Black Sea.

But, there are three “rogue” countries which intersect the “Green Interstate” of would-be American geopolitical influence – Iran, Iraq and Serbia. Which is why they have been subjected to various reprisals.”

9/11 & PERPETUAL WAR

ALTZAR: Of course, the entire pro-Islamic scheme went up in smoke on 9/11. So the New World Order hate-mongers changed their tack. Now the Muslims are suddenly the bad guys and terrorists. Ever since the U.S. has led its minions into a never ending war against terrorism, validating another Truth in Media moniker from 1993.

We said back then that the true New World Order slogan is not “world peace through world trade,” as its leader alleged. It is:

PERPETUAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL COMMERCE

TRUMP STARTS HIS FIRST FOREIGN TRIP IN SAUDI ARABIA, ISRAEL

By the way, guess where Donald Trump is at the moment? In the air, on his way to Saudi Arabia, the first stop on his first foreign trip.

Guess where his second stop will be? Israel.

“EUROTOPIA” AGAIN ON DISPLAY IN FRANCE

MACRON THE NWO POLTRON SNUBS THE FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM

On this day in 1945, most of Europe celebrated the end of World War II. After a war that cost 60 million lives worldwide, most people on the Old Continent were filled with hope for a new Era of Peace.

Instead, what followed was 248 smaller wars and regional conflicts around the world that took another 30 million lives. The U.S. government started over 200 of those (see https://goo.gl/yo3hv4).

On this day in 2017, the forces of the New World Order, which have caused nearly all of those conflicts to feed their death merchants’ war machines, are also celebrating. Not the WW II victory. “Been there, done that,” they figure. They hailed the victory of one of their own in France.

The French president-elect, Emmanuel Macron (39), a leftist endorsed by Obama and the U.S. liberal establishment, as well as by Germany’s Angela Merkel and the EU president Jean-Claude Juncker, even snubbed the French national anthem in favor of the EU’s (Beethoven’s 9th Symphony Ode of Joy).

18301762_10210656246177225_2539827800393366504_n

(see – “I’ll defend Europe!” Macron snubs French national anthem & walks onto stage to EU song after win – http://shr.gs/wY8jz5).

And so, the new French president now joins the ranks of those who believe in nothing. Except, of course, in the Almighty Euro, or Dollar, or Yen, or Yuan… as I said in my WASHINGTON TIMES’ Dec 29, 1996 column THE NOTHING PHILOSOPHY.

This writer can understand why the new French president snubbed his own country’s national anthem. Because it was conceived in blood during the French Revolution (1789) against the exact replicas of himself in the 18th century.

So here it is, “La Marseillaise”, with the French and English subtitles:

Shame on you, Macron – you Wall Street globalist poltron! In solidarity with the French minority, who have still retained their national identity and pride, this evening, this writer also played “La Marseillaise” on his Steinway for the first time ever. And tears rolled down his cheeks as he did it.

“Vive la France! Vice la France libre!”

“PERPETUAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL COMMERCE”

And so the wars will continue. And so will NATO’s “Drang Nach Osten” (Eastward Push) against Russia, following in Hitler’s footsteps. And the “perpetual war for perpetual commerce” – New World Order’s slogan – to the tune of Beethoven’s 9th.

And the “Eurotopia” called the EU, will fester on, feeding like a leech on the wallets of European people – the New World Order sheeple. Just like the NWO leeches are doing in the U.S., Australia, Canada and elsewhere around the “developed” world. (see SELLNG FEAR TO BUY SUBSERVIENCE, MAY 12, 2015 – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-VB)/

Era of Peace?

What a joke! Sounds more like “Eurotopia.” Which was a subtitle of my 22-year old article about the New World Order’s conquest and enslavement of European nations, enroute to trying the same in Russia. As you will see, many of those opinions have now come true. Unfortunately – for the once “free Europe.”

KOSOVO REVISITED

THE UNDYING POWER OF THE INTERNET

It’s truly amazing to witness the undying power of the Internet. This morning, for example, I received an email from a lady whom I have never heard of before. Her name is Jen Miller. She edits the website http://www.jenreviews.com. Here’s what she wrote in part about an article I published in the Truth in Media almost 7 years ago:

I was searching the web for information on Austria and saw your great post here: http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins2010/Kosovo_Kangaroo.html (Kosovo: “Might Is Right” UN Court Rules, July 25, 2010)

I had completely forgotten about that story. Yet Ms Miller’s comment brought it back to light illustrating the UNDYING POWER of the Internet. Which, in turn, caused me to update the information on this topic – Kosovo’s so-called “independence” – delivered to the local Albanian by combined military action of the United States and NATO.

As of February 27, 2017, a full 9 years after Kosovo’s declaration of independence with strong support of the U.S. government, only 111 out of 193 (57.5%) United Nations (UN) member states have given it a diplomatic recognition, 23 out of 28 (82%) European Union (EU) member states, 24 out of 28 (86%) NATO member states, and 36 out of 57 (63%) Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states.

The reason is that, the U.S. pressure notwithstanding, many of the countries have their own “Kosovo’s” – regions that are striving for independence. So recognizing Kosovo could open a can of worms for them.

Take Israel, for example. For, all intents and purposes, this is the country that runs the U.S. foreign policy, especially now with Donald Trump as president. “Israel will not recognize Kosovo’s independence at this time, in part because of the possibility of Palestinians using recognition of Kosovo to justify their own unilateral declaration of independence,” according to a Jerusalem Post Feb 19, 2008 article.

On 28 April 2009, Arthur Koll, the Israeli ambassador to Serbia, said it had been more than a year since Kosovo unilaterally declared independence, and that Israel had no intention of recognizing that independence and that “Israel is asked from time to time how solid this decision is, but the fact is that Israel’s position has not changed throughout this time. The Serbian people and government should appreciate Israel’s position, which also demonstrates the friendship between the two states.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_Kosovo).

Other U.S. allies with similar problems (Turkey and Iraq, for example, with their Kurdish minorities) bit the bullet and yielded to the U.S. pressure.

THEY BROUGHT JIHAD INTO EUROPE

Either way, the tiny Kosovo is and will continue to be one of the world’s hottest potatoes. Because it is the most recent example of the egregious abuse of military force by the global superpowers to grab and occupy a sovereign territory of a small country (Serbia). Just as other the colonial powers had been doing for centuries (Britain, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, etc.).

“The more the world changes, the more it stays the same” (Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, 1808-1890).

Also see, WALL STREET’S FINANCIAL TERRORISM, Chronicles (1998)

Here’s now an excerpt from that Truth in Media July 2010 editorial:

UN Court at the Hague Rules NATO’s Occupation, Kosovo’s Secession from Serbia Was “Legal”

Kosovo: “Might Is Right” UN Court Rules

Kangaroo Court Judges Jumps Again on Washington Masters’ Cue, Making Mockery of International Justice

HAIKU, MAUI, July 25 – The 15 United Nations Kangaroo Court judges at the Hague have just written the “might is right”-legal principle into the UN Charter. Last week, they upheld the unilateral secession of Kosovo from Serbia, declared by Kosovo Albanians in February 2008, and backed by Washington and its allies. It is a nonbinding ruling, however, by a toothless UN paper tiger.

Yet, the ramifications of this decision stretch well beyond Serbia and Kosovo. For, that’s as if Mexico, for example, were to militarily conquer Arizona, and then have this American state pull out of the Union by unilateral declaration (Aztlan: America’s Kosovo, May 2000, and “Kosovo: ‘Bosnia II’, Serbia’s Aztlan”, Mar 1998).

No wonder that only 69 U.S. minions have recognized Kosovo two-and-a-half years since its declaration of independence. That’s about a third of the nearly 200 countries that comprise the UN these days. Among some prominent nations that did not recognize this NATO land grab are Security Council members Russia and China, each with a veto power. Even some NATO member-nations with troops in Kosovo, such as Spain, Italy or Greece, did not recognize this breakaway Serbian territory as legally independent.

Why not? Because there are also dozens of minorities in various countries in Europe and elsewhere around the world that can now use the Kosovo example as a legal precedent to stake their independence claims (see the map, right, and the Christian Science Monitor story Kosovo independence legal, says UN court. What will Russia do? (CSM, July 22).

Sound like a recipe for continued conflict and strife in the future? You betcha. Which is exactly what the New World Order bullies want… more war, more business for their sponsors – the death merchants and the bankers who finance them. We noted more than 15 years ago that “perpetual war for perpetual commerce” was the real NWO motto (see Stitching Together New World Order Flag), not “world peace through world trade,” as they tend to preach.

In order to put the UN Court’s latest decision in a proper geopolitical context, here’s a brief historical overview…

“LIKE RONALD, LIKE DONALD”… PUPPETS ON A STRING

IF YOU CAN’T BEAT HIM, JOIN HIM… AND THEN TURN HIM

There is no doubt anymore… Donald Trump is the same as or worse than Ronald Reagan. “Like Ronald, like Donald…” – my Oct 23, 2016 warning, repeated the day after the election – is sadly coming true.

The New World Order powers that be have surrounded our new president with their loyalists who have managed to turn him in less than three months. Or maybe he has always been one of them. After all, it took more than two years for the globalists in Reagan’s White House to turn the president to follow their agenda.

So maybe Trump used the promise to “make America great again” merely as an election tagline. Which he has shed with ease, like a snake shedding its skin. The real Donald Trump is first and foremost the friend of Israel, not of the American people. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what Israel’s prime minister “Bibi” Netanyahu told reporters on Feb 16, 2017 at the White House:

“There is no greater supporter of the Jewish people and the Jewish state than President Donald Trump,” Netanyahu said.

The two even wore the matching blue ties, even though red is the color of Trump’s alleged allegiance to the Republican Party.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/embed/video/1413375.html [VIDEO]

TRUMP AGREED

Answering a reporter’s question about a rise of antisemitism in the U.S., Trump said, ‘you’re going to see a lot of love, a lot of love, OK?’ Trump promised the Jewish Americans.

From here, Netanyahu stepped in with his own praise.

‘If I can respond to something that I know from personal experience,’ the Israeli leader said. ‘I’ve known President Trump for many years and to allude to him or to his people, his team, some of them I’ve known for many years too.’

Bibi then brought up his long-standing relationship with Kushner (Trump’s son-in-law), who’s been tasked with helping with Middle East peace, suggesting that there’s no way these people could be responsible for the rising tide of antisemitism in the United States.

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4228348/Giggling-Trump-Bibi-agree-love-Jared-Kushner.html#ixzz4eR5Qgj9J

So there you have it – from the horses’ mouths:

ISRAEL’S AGENDA IS TRUMP’S AGENDA

And vice versa.

That’s why Trump has put a number of pro-Israeli Jewish Americans in key positions of his administration (see the photo below right and this story)
That’s why so many of them were with Trump in the war room when he ordered the Syria strike on Apr 7 (see Who Was in the Room? These Advisers Joined Trump for the Syria Strike – https://nyti.ms/2obBoaP).

That’s why Trump increased the U.S. military budget instead of reducing our overseas deployments, as he had promised during the election.
That’s why Trump did a turn-about-face on Syria, expanding our military involvement in the country that poses no threat to the U.S., instead of getting us out of Syria, as he told Obama in 2013.
That’s why Trump reversed himself on Russia, too, dialing up Obama’s belligerent talk about the world’s largest country instead of offering Russia an olive branch, as he had hinted during and right after the election.
That’s why Trump dropped America’s biggest non-nuclear bomb – the MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) – in Afghanistan on Apr 13, killing nearly 100 people, but more importantly trying to intimidate the world with its “big stick.”

Which means Trump is not much different than Obama. He is not much different than Hillary might have been. On Nov 8, Trump pulled off the biggest con of his life which put the biggest feather in the cap of Don the Con – the White House (see THREE PEAS IN A POD, Apr 14, 2017).

Here’s why…

Gary Cohn, for example, is the former second-in-command at Goldman Sachs, the world-spanning global financial firm that Trump used as a stand-in for everything he was running against during his presidential campaign.

Now, the Svengali who shaped that campaign and its populist tone, Stephen Bannon, appears to be slipping from his perch on Trump’s shoulder. And Cohn, whose enemies cast him as an elitist, a globalist, and a liberal, is clawing his way up.

“Gary Cohn would be too liberal for the Obama administration,” former Trump advisor Sam Nunberg told Yahoo News. “I don’t know what he’s doing in a Republican White House,”

Read more: http://forward.com/news/368913/how-gary-cohn-became-the-hated-jewish-globalist-in-trumps-cabinet/

Sadly, all this was predictable. I warned about about a possibility of a fifth column inside the Trump White House on three different occasions: Two weeks prior to the election, one day after the election, and two weeks after the election.

Here are excerpts from those Truth in Media editorials…

One thing I had not fully understood at the time was that ISRAEL’S AGENDA IS TRUMP’S AGENDA. “Bibi’ Netanyahu made that perfectly clear on Feb 16, 2017 when he said,:”

“There is no greater supporter of the Jewish people and the Jewish state than President Donald Trump.”

UPDATE APR 30, 2017

FIRST 100 DAYS: TRUMP “BROKEN BY U.S. POWER MACHINE,” “CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT”

Trump’s 100 days prove his maverick image was fake, says RT.COM editorial

Donald Trump’s election strategy relied to a degree on the image of an anti-establishment billionaire who could fix a broken DC. Instead, his actions in office have been aligned with the policies of the same special interests he used to speak out against.

Some of Trump’s critics say he was dishonest from the start. Others, like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, believe he has been “broken” by the US establishment, which would not tolerate a president that wanted to improve relations with Moscow or stop America’s perpetual wars.

Either way, the 45th US president has proven himself consistently inconsistent during his first 100 days in office. Here are some of the issues Trump has done a 180 flip-flop on since taking the Oval Office.

Read more… https://on.rt.com/8a95

EXCEPT THAT TRUMP HAS BEEN REMARKABLY CONSISTENT IN HIS LOYALTY TO ISRAEL

ALTZAR: Which is actually what a Truth in Media editorial stated several times during the last 5.5 months since the election. Like this one:

“LIKE RONALD, LIKE DONALD”… PUPPETS ON A STRING; IF YOU CAN’T BEAT HIM, JOIN HIM… AND THEN TURN HIM” – There is no doubt anymore… Donald Trump is the same as or worse than Ronald Reagan. “Like Ronald, like Donald…” – my Oct 23, 2016 warning – is sadly coming true – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-2eS

ISRAEL – REAL WINNER OF NOV 8 ELECTION

So Trump has been indeed “consistent in being inconsistent”, except when it comes to one foreign policy subject – Israel. In that regard, Trump has been remarkably consistent, both as a candidate and as president. Trump even campaigned in Israel (see the photo below).

No wonder Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu positively beamed with joy over Kushner and Trump during his White House visit on Feb 16 (photos – also see Complete List of the Trump Campaign’s Promises to Israel – https://goo.gl/J62wl8).

Also no wonder Trump’s true loyalty lies in Israel, given his close family ties to Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and Ivanka, Trump’s daughter who converted to Judaism. Both were awarded with influential White House posts.

Nepotism?

Nah. Just the way the Jews and their families and friends do business with each other in New York. And in Israel. And now also in Washington, DC.

They think they are above the law, Just like… oops, what’s her name – the other candidate with a Jewish son-in-law who ran against Trump.? Oh, yeah… the one whom Trump had promised to prosecute. “Because nobody is above the law.”

TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION

Two weeks before the election, in the midst of the pro-Hillary polls and media frenzy, I predicted that Donal Trump would win. But I also warned that it could be a hollow victory if he does not learn from history. More specifically, what happened to another populist president when he got to the White House (Ronald Reagan)..

Here’s my Oct 23, 2016 post:

BEIRUT EMBASSY BOMBING: REAGAN’S BAPTISM BY FIRE AND HUMILIATION BY NEW WORLD ORDER’S FIFTH COLUMN IN HIS CABINET

Will the Same Happen with Trump When He Is Elected? – https://is.gd/mMcRHn

Oct 23, 2016

IF YOU CAN’T BEAT HIM, JOIN HIM… AND THEN SMOTHER HIM

ALTZAR: Ronald Reagan was the only US president in the last half a century who was not a card-carrying member of the globalist New World Order organizations, such as the Council for Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group, for example. Like Donald Trump, he was elected because he was an outspoken critic of such establishment “elites.”

What happened in the aftermath of the Beirut embassy bombing was a perfect example of how these New World Order globalists deal with a popular outsider. They muzzle him by surrounding him with loyal members of their societies which would advance their agendas and interests no matter what a sitting president may think.

Like Caspar Weinberger, for example, Reagan’s Secretary of Defense, who was a member of both CFR and Trilateral Commission. In the end, he and his NWO cronies overpowered the popular president. Reagan was forced to retreat from Lebanon without retaliation because of the NWO-US multinational companies’ oil interests in the region. As a result, 241 American Marines and 58 French paratroopers lost their lives for nothing. Reagan left Lebanon with his tail between his legs despite his initial aggressive rhetoric.

Which is why it will be interesting to see what happens AFTER Donald Trump is elected on Nov 7. Will he allow the NWO bosses to overwhelm him with their picks for cabinet appointments as was the case with Reagan?

* * *

ONE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION

The morning after the election, I repeated this warning. Here’s my Nov 9 , 2016 post (https://is.gd/mMcRHn):

STAY VIGILANT: LET’S NOT HAVE A REAGAN FIFTH COLUMN ENCORE

The universe is unfolding as it should and as expected. But at this time of joy and jubilation, we also must stay vigilant. We must not rest until all the New World Order snakes have been driven from our shores or put behind bars. So we can start to rebuild our society into making America great again.

And to do that, we must not allow the New World Order plutocrats to surround Trump with their minions as they did with Ronald Reagan in the 1981 and beyond. For more on that, see my Oct 23 post:

We must pray that our new president remains clear-headed about who his true friends and enemies are and does not allow the NWO fifth column anywhere near his White House. And we must also insist that he deliver on his promise to bring Hillary and Obama administration officials to justice as co-conspirators in her crimes (see TRUMP SHOULD REVOKE HILLARY’S PASSPORT – https://is.gd/UCfRF9).

* * *

TWO WEEKS AFTER THE ELECTION

Two weeks after the election, Trump backed away from one of his key election promises – to prosecute Hillary. It was our first hint that he would be no different than Reagan. So on Nov 22, 2016, I penned this editorial:

LIKE RONALD, LIKE DONALD

Birds of a feather flock together…

BROKEN PROMISES: TRUMP BACKS AWAY FROM THREAT TO JAIL HILLARY

“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,” Trump says after his visit to New York Times today

“They will get over it,” Trump brushes off his disappointed supporters

Maybe not: “BROKEN PROMISE” blared the headline of Breitbart News, Trump’s most loyal supporter

Here we go again. Looks like “they” are coopting Donald as they did with Ronald 35 years ago. Trump is not even president as yet, and “they” are already managing to soften him up.

“They?” The New World Order so-called “elite.” Of which Trump is a member.

This morning, it was my turn to feel like I have a pit in my stomach. Not just because I voted for Trump – for the first time ever breaking my vow not to vote for either a Democrat or a Republican presidential candidate. The alternative (Hillary) was so much worse. So I might have done the same thing again anyway even with 20/20 hindsight.

Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa (My mistake, my big mistake – Lat.)

The real reason I have a pit in my stomach is that I allowed Trump to dupe me. So my journalistic, literary and geopolitical analyst’s pride hurts more than just one voter feeling betrayed.

What makes it even worse is that I feel I let myself down. And you – my readers and followers. By leading you astray in trusting Trump. Because I saw it all coming. I just did not stay true to myself and my instincts.

Back on February 24, in my first editorial comment about the Election 2016, I called Trump a “Trojan Horse” of the American plutocrats.

“Trump is a card-carrying member of the billionaires club – the 563 plutocrats, out of 319 million of us, who have been getting richer while most of the American people are getting poorer.

“Those who deformed us cannot reform us,” read a crude white painted slogan on a Prague wall during the 1989 Velvet Revolution.

So the only person who can truly change the corrupt political system in America is an outsider, neither a Democrat or a Republican.” (from Trojan Horse”).

“DON THE CON”

A Good Friday 2017 Truth in Media Editorial

“DON THE CON” FLIP-FLOPS AGAIN

Our latest “Mr Flip-Flop” in the White House turns his back on election promises and the American people to show his true allegiance – to the plutocrats of the New World Order, like himself, and to Israel

PEACE BE DAMNED… EVEN ON GOOD FRIDAY! (some Christian Trump is)

FOREWORD

On Feb 24, 2016, in its first editorial on US Election 2016, the Truth in Media headline read:

IS TRUMP ACTUALLY A TROJAN HORSE? (of American plutocrats – see http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1fl)

Now we can answer the question unequivocally:

YES!!!

Sometimes you hate to be right. This is one of those times. Donald Trump is a Trojan Horse of the New World Order. Just like I suspected in Feb 2016.

“Those who deformed us cannot reform us,” I wrote on Feb 24, 2016, read a crude white painted slogan on a Prague wall during the 1989 Velvet Revolution. So the only person who can truly change the corrupt political system in America is an outsider, neither a Democrat or a Republican.”

Anybody but Democrat Republican pig trough-hdr

This is what I also wrote back in Feb 2016:

WHAT TO DO ON NOV 8?

“Bottom line? Vote for any third party candidate who emerges between now and November.

Or don’t vote at all. Which is what the majority of Americans has already done. Over 63% of us boycotted the 2014 midterm elections, the lowest turnout since 1824 (see DISGUST & APATHY: BIG WINNERS IN 2014 ELECTIONS).

That’s because voting for either a Democrat or a Republican will only serve to legitimize the New World Order’s electoral farce and tighten the plutocrats’ noose around our collective necks. A silent protest is better than a vote for an oppressor.

What do I think would actually happen?

Trump will get the Republican nomination. And I will sit on my hands again come Nov 8 – see http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1fl” (Feb 24, 2016)

Yet I voted for Don the Con. I allowed myself to be duped by this conman from New York, just like millions of other Americans. For that, I hang my head low in shame and apologize to my readers.

I was right about Trump and about the election outcome. Yet I did not follow my own advice. For the first time in my life, I voted for a candidate from one of the two major parties (Trump).

Excerpts from that Feb 2016 editorial:

“Trump said (in Oct 2015) Syrian refugees could be a ‘Trojan Horse’ for ISIS. But could he actually be a ‘Trojan Horse’ for New World Order plutocrats? After all, he is one of them…” (IS TRUMP ACTUALLY A TROJAN HORSE? (of American plutocrats – see http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1fl)

…All candidates will say whatever it takes to get themselves elected. But once in office, how much can they be trusted to keep their promises?”

They can’t. The “false flag” chemical attack in Syria last week, Rex Tillerson’s visit to Russia (Apr 11-12), and Trump’s subsequent comments about NATO and Russia, left no doubt in my mind anymore that he was a Trojan Horse:

“Donald Trump says US relations with Russia ‘may be at all-time low’. President also says NATO is ‘no longer obsolete’ following his secretary of state’s visit to Moscow” (Guardian, Feb 13, 2017 – https://goo.gl/omQ3ff)

“In the latest of a series of dramatic foreign policy reversals in recent days, Trump dropped an allegation he had repeated throughout his presidential campaign, telling the Wall Street Journal that the Chinese were “not currency manipulators”.

“The president’s comments confirmed a significant shift in his positions since taking office nearly three months ago, cooling towards Russia and reaffirming support for NATO.”

MR FLIP-FLOP

Trump’s first flip-flop took place shortly after the Nov 8 election when he backed out of his October debate promise to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
He promised to reduce our military deployments overseas, but has instead increased Pentagon’s military budget.
And on Apr 13, Trump told reporters that he’s given the military “total authorization.” In other words, a blank check to wage war at will. I don’t know of any other president who has done a foolish thing like that. No wonder that the same day (Apr 13), the US military dropped the GBU-43, a 22,000-pound bomb dubbed MOAB (Mother of All Bombs), allegedly on an IS (Islamic State) target in Afghanistan. MOAB is the largest non-nuclear bomb in existence.

(By the way, whatever happened to Al Qaeda and Taliban – our alleged enemies in Afghanistan? Guess they were renamed to IS by the New World Order PR people to make IS supposedly a global threat).

In 2013, Trump also said we should get out of Syria and criticized Obama for getting us involved in that civil war. Yet since his inauguration, he has actually accelerated the Syria bombings and our military involvement in that country which is no threat to the United States whatsoever.

And now, Trump has also flip-flopped on his earlier stance on both Russia and NATO.

So there is no doubt anymore in this writer’s mind that the current occupant of the White House is a liar just like his predecessors.

So in 2016, Don the Con pulled off probably the biggest and the longest con of his life. He duped an entire nation and much of the world.

And now Trump is shedding his sheep’s hide and to show himself what he has always been – one of the New World Order wolves who only care about money and power. And put Israel’s security and interests, such as in Syria, ahead of those of the American people.

“PERPETUAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL COMMERCE” – the New World Order motto – fits Trump to a tee

… just as this writer said in that Feb 2016 Truth in Media editorial – “IS TRUMP ACTUALLY A TROJAN HORSE?” (of American plutocrats – see http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1fl).

* * *

Feb 24, 2016

This is my first editorial about the 2016 elections. Those who have followed my occasional cryptic comments on Facebook and Twitter about the leading candidates should have a pretty good idea where I stand, and why I have been saying for decades: “Anybody but a Democrat or a Republican.” And so far, there has been no independent candidate who might be worthy of my vote.

Like Ross Perot in 1992, for example, who invented “informercials” as a campaign tool, something Trump has also tried to copy. But just look at the difference between Perot’s and Trump’s “infomercials” (image below). Facts versus skin.

Here’s why Trump is not “it”…

IS TRUMP ACTUALLY A “TROJAN HORSE?”

Donald Trump seems to be running away with it. His margin of victory over his Republican rivals in yesterday’s Nevada caucuses was even greater than in South Carolina and New Hampshire – 2 to 1 over his nearest competitor (Rubio):

CANDIDATE	NEVADA VOTES	%	DEL
Trump	34,531	45.9%	14
Rubio	17,940	23.9%	7
Cruz	16,079	21.4%	6
Carson	3,619	4.8%	1
Kasich	2,709	3.6%	1Source: AP

So now all those naysayers who have been dismissing Trump’s candidacy with “he’ll never make it”-comments are having to eat crow and contemplate “the impossible” – Trump as president of the United States.

Until now, we could easily ignore all those bleeding heart liberals and other intolerant factions that make up the Democratic Party’s “borsht” (Russian stew). They have been screaming in desperation and posting hateful messages against Trump for the last year or so. Which proved that they were anything but liberal-minded.

And that, of course, includes the establishment media. Their reporting has been highly biased against Trump. Some even stooped as low as to use profanities. Which only cheapened their arguments.

Furthermore, ALL of the “lamestream” media posted photos of Trump in the most unflattering angry poses – scowling, shouting, threatening – evidently trying to associate him with images of past dictators in history.

That was no “coincidence.” It was and is a carefully orchestrated hate campaign against Trump by the media that’s supposed to be neutral when it comes to news reporting.

And now, after Nevada, and certainly after next week’s “Super Tuesday” in which 13 states will choose their favorite candidate, the Republican establishment is finding itself in the same boat as the liberal media. Trump is winning and everybody is panicking.

IS ANTI-TRUMP MEDIA RHETORIC ANOTHER CHARADE?

Or are they? Are they really panicking or merely following another carefully scripted New World Order ruse, the latest twist in the devious plot intended to deceive the American electorate?

Why would they do it? Because Trump is one of their own. Anybody who has been watching Trump’s public persona well before he declared his 2016 candidacy would have seen seen a crass man with a giant ego and little regard for anything but money. Which is exactly what all the New World Order chieftains also worship – the Almighty Dollar.

During the last quarter century, the New World Order plutocrats have usurped the U.S. government powers and turned it against the once free people – the electorate, the sheeple, the disenfranchised Americans whose only guaranteed right is to keep on paying taxes to pay for the public debt which the rich line their pockets. And Trump is very much a part of that crowd.

Take a look how cozy he looks with the Clinton’s and Bush’s – the New World Order oligarchs – against whom he is now supposedly running…

GTY_trump_wedding_clintons_jef_150806_16x9_992

But more than just appearances, Trump shares with them same same “religion” – the Love of Money.

NEW WORLD ORDER CREED FITS TRUMP TO A TEE

The New World Order Creed fits Trump to a tee.

Here’s what I wrote on the topic of New World Order “religion” in my Washington Times column “CHRISTIANITY UNDER SIEGE, TOWARD – A ONE WORLD RELIGION” – Jan 1998 – http://www.truthinmedia.org/Columns/christianity_under_siege.html:

Their creed is ‘I believe in nothing!’ Their crest: The Almighty Dollar. Their object of worship: The Golden Calf. Their holy shrine: Wall Street. Their holy water: Coca-Cola. Their disciples: Washington politicians.

In their world, everything is for sale. Nothing is sacred. Faceless uniformity and blind loyalty are the norm, as in communist dictatorships. If God were to (re)create the world by the designs of the “Princes of the 20th Century” — the multinationals who sit at the head table of the New World Order, there would be only three kinds of creatures:

All two-legged creatures would be ostriches
All four-legged ones would be sheep
All sea-living creatures would be sardines, anxiously waiting in long lines at the Princes’ canning factory docks for their turn to jump into cans, and be exported to some distant low-cal, low-brow; low-IQ, but immensely happy consumer society. Thanks to a steady diet of CNN served with Coca-Cola.”

I repeated this assessment in my speech to the Reform Party Convention in May 2000, when Pat Buchanan was running for president…

…to a standing ovation by the delegates in attendance, including Pat Buchanan.

—

All of those who voted Obama now know the pain of disappointment over broken promises. As do those who voted for the two Bush’s and Clinton before them. I have voted for none of them. So my conscience is clear.

Sanders, like the Clintons, is a party loyalist trying to look like an outsider to distinguish himself from Hillary. Trump is a card-carrying member of the billionaires club – the 563 plutocrats, out of 319 million of us, who have been getting richer while most of the American people are getting poorer.

“Those who deformed us cannot reform us,” read a crude white painted slogan on a Prague wall during the 1989 Velvet Revolution.

So the only person who can truly change the corrupt political system in America is an outsider, neither a Democrat or a Republican.

WHAT TO DO ON NOV 8?

Bottom line? Vote for any third party candidate who emerges between now and November.

Or don’t vote at all. Which is what the majority of Americans has already done. Over 63% of us boycotted the 2014 midterm elections, the lowest turnout since 1824 (see DISGUST & APATHY: BIG WINNERS IN 2014 ELECTIONS).

That’s because voting for either a Democrat or a Republican will only serve to legitimize the New World Order’s electoral farce and tighten the plutocrats’ noose around our collective necks. A silent protest is better than a vote for an oppressor.

What do I think would actually happen?

Trump will get the Republican nomination. And I will sit on my hands again come Nov 8 – see http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1fl

UPDATE MARCH 1, 2016

THEY PULLED OUT ALL STOPS AND STILL CAME UP SHORT

Trump Projected to Sweep “Super Tuesday” Primaries

The forces of the Evil Empire – the so-called New World Order who field most of the Democratic and Republican candidates – had pulled out all stops in their vicious attacks on the leading Republican candidate. They compared him to Hitler. They linked him to the KKK. They accused him of cheating on taxes. They even invoked the lowly Mussolini, trying to associate him with Trump.

The New World Order media whores – as if following orders – invariably depicted Trump in their photos as a grimacing, angry bear. It was a clear as night and day that this was a Madison Ave-style orchestrated campaign aimed at destroying Trump.

But they did not mention Trump’s quote in which he praised Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, as a strong leader who is “making mincemeat out of our president” (Obama).

Two closest Republican candidates – Cruz and Rubio, both establishment whores – elevated their criticism of Trump in the last few days to a fever-pitch scream, dropping any pretense of decency and gentility in their campaigns.

And after all of these dirty tricks… all of them still came up short. The electorate in the 13 states – from Massachusetts to Alabama – turned thumbs up on Trump and thumbs down on the New World Order.

So Trump appears unstoppable now, at least by any legal, above board means. Which, of course, leaves the New World Order leaders their favorite tools – the underhanded or violent means of stopping him.

Or not. If underneath the veneer of a renegade Republican we discover that Trump is also one of “them” (for more on that, see IS TRUMP ACTUALLY A “TROJAN HORSE?” – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1fl).

This is where the plot thickens. Stand by…

UPDATE MARCH 30, 2016

TRUMP ABANDONS PLEDGE TO SUPPORT GOP NOMINEE

Cruz and Kasich Backpedal and Follow Trump’s Example

Republican candidates took a “loyalty pledge” to support the party’s nominee during the first GOP debate

At a CNN town hall event on Tuesday night, Trump reversed on that promise, telling CNN moderator Anderson Cooper he no longer respects the so-called loyalty pledge a stage full of then-candidates agreed to during the very first GOP debate in Cleveland last August.

Ted Cruz has been slowly backing away from the pledge and on Tuesday reiterated his hesitation, telling Cooper: “I’m not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and attacks my family.”

John Kasich gave a string of noncommittal responses. When pressed by Cooper about whether he’d respect the pledge, the Ohio governor said, “If the nominee is somebody that I think is really hurting the country and dividing the country, I can’t stand behind them.”

See Trump Abandons Pledge to Support GOP Nominee, Cruz and Kasich Backpedal http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/Trump-Cruz-Back-Down-From-Pledge-to-Support-

So that’s today’s news from the campaign trail. What does it mean?

WHAT DOES TRUMP’S REVERSAL MEAN?

It means that Trump is clearing the deck if he is forced to run as an independent. Which would happen if the GOP officials manage to sabotage in some illegal way Trump’s seemingly inexorable march to the Republican nomination.

And if Trump were to run as an independent, he would probably win every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Because he would garner even more popular votes than as a Republican candidate.

Who knows, Trump may even get my vote if that were to happen. Because he would have proven that he is not a “Trojan Horse” as I had feared in my Feb 24 editorial (“IS TRUMP A ‘TROJAN HORSE’? – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1fl).

What do I think would actually happen?

Trump will get the Republican nomination. And I will sit on my hands again come Nov 8.

UPDATE MARCH 30, 2016

FACTS ABOUT TED CRUZ’S BIRTHER ISSUE

Ted Cruz was actually born in a foreign country — Canada — to an American mother, Eleanor Darragh, and a father, Rafael Cruz, who was a Cuban citizen at the time. Ted was born on On Dec. 22, 1970 in Calgary, Alberta.

His father, born and raised in Cuba, actually did not become an American citizen until 2005. When Ted Cruz was born, his parents weren’t visiting Canada or working on a military base — they had lived there for years.

Young Ted himself lived in that foreign country for the early years of his childhood and was actually a Canadian citizen until he renounced it in May of 2014.

ALTZAR: The Constitution is clear about the fact that a candidate for President of the United States must be a natural-born citizen.

So why are so many Americans participating in this charade and voting for an INELIGIBLE candidate? Wasn’t Obama’s birther issue controversial enough?

More importantly, does this country really need another professional liar in the White House?

The rise of Donald Trump is a sign of the American people finally pushing back against the usurpation of power by BOTH the Democrats and Republicans who use taxpayers money to serve the interests of big banks and big business.

TRUMP SHOWS HIS TRUE COLORS IN HIS FIRST ENERGY POLICY SPEECH

ANYTHING GOES… SUMS UP TRUMP’S ENERGY “POLICY”

Donald Trump pledged to cancel the Paris climate agreement, endorsed drilling off the Atlantic coast and said he would allow the Keystone XL pipeline to be built in return for “a big piece of the profits” for the American people. And he said he would save the coal industry. Because “those are great people.”

“I have never heard more contradiction in one hour than I heard in the speech,” Sierra Club director told the Guardian.

“There are pools of oil industry wastewater that are deeper than Trump’s grasp of energy.”

ALTZAR: Having watched this video clip from Trump’s first speech on his energy policy, delivered yesterday to a pro-oil and gas industry audience in North Dakota, all I could say is, “holy cow… what a dunderhead!”

Finally, the mask has dropped. And we had a chance to see the real Donald Trump as I hinted in my February editorial – TRUMP ACTUALLY A “TROJAN HORSE?” – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1flIS.

Ironically, moments before delivering his speech, Trump had just crossed the 1,237-delegate mark which assured him of the Republican nomination long before the national convention.

It is hard to believe such a level of ignorance by the leading candidate for President of United States. Of course, Hillary is worse. She has already taken tons of money from Wall Street and the oil and gas industry, including the Arabs.

—

Donald Trump would allow Keystone XL pipeline and end Paris climate deal (The Guardian)

Trump reaches delegate count needed to clinch Republican nomination

At an oil and natural gas conference in North Dakota on Thursday, just minutes after he had celebrated hitting the 1,237 delegate mark needed to formally clinch the party’s nomination, Trump gave a speech on energy policy that was largely shaped by advice from Kevin Cramer, a US representative from the state.

In a press conference before the event, Trump praised the advice of oil tycoon Harold Hamm. Hamm and Cramer then introduced him onstage.

Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club environmentalist group, was taken aback by Trump’s address.

“I have never heard more contradiction in one hour than I heard in the speech,” he told the Guardian.

“There are pools of oil industry wastewater that are deeper than Trump’s grasp of energy.”

UPDATE JUNE 25, 2016

To all of my friends who fell for the “Feel the Bern” rhetoric in the last few months, just as many did for Obama in 2008…

BERNIE SANDERS: HILLARY’S “TROJAN HORSE” SHOWS HIS TRUE FACE

“I’ll vote for Hillary Clinton” (he said in an MSNBC TV interview)

It pains me when something like this happens. I feel no joy writing another “I told you so” comment. For, I remember vividly saying the same things about Obama back in 2008 when so many people around this country were euphoric about his presidential aspiration.

Over the next eight years, this Wall Street stooge let them all down. And yet they fell for the same trick again when Bernie Sanders hoisted the flag of “real change.”

You know the old saying, “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

Right now, I feel a sense of shame – that so many of my countrymen have proven once again to be so gullible. For, in the end, Sanders also proved to be merely Hillary’s “Trojan Horse.”

No surprise there.

LIBERALS’ DICTATORSHIP OF MINORITIES MORPHS INTO JUDICIAL ABUSE

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY… AND 20 YEARS AGO

I published this editorial about the “liberals'” intolerance and abuse of law:

LIBERALS’ DICTATORSHIP OF MINORITIES

Now I can retitle it to: LIBERALS’ DICTATORSHIP OF MINORITIES MORPHS INTO JUDICIAL ABUSE

Back in 1997, while the Clintons were still in the White House, I said in my Washington Times column “Dancing ‘Round the Golden Calf” that the so-called “liberals” have usurped the term – which connotes open-mindedness in the English language – and turned it into a dictatorship of minorities.

See this FB post from March 16, 2016: https://www.facebook.com/bob.djurdjevic/posts/10207168786872922

1936397_10207168786032901_2998666447365621794_n

AND NOW LOOK AT THE LATEST EXAMPLES OF “LIBERALS'” ABUSE OF JUSTICE AND DICTATORSHIP OF MINORITIES

Former presidents Clinton and Obama trying to subvert justice

In the heat of the election campaign 2016, Bill Clinton met with AG Loretta Lynch and the Phoenix airport to twist her arm re. Hillary’s Emailgate. Unsurprisingly, the Obama Justice Dept’s pick let and the FBI which reports to her let Hillary of the hook.

See “Judicial Watch Sues DOJ for Records on Airport Meeting Between Bill Clinton and AG Loretta Lynch” – Mar 15, 201 7 – CBS NEWS – https://goo.gl/lERSB3

Now, the “liberals” are engaged in unprecedented judicial obstructionism, trying to impede the implementation of President Trump’s immigration order. For a second time in just over a month, a Federal Judge, Obama’s appointee in Hawaii, has stepped into the political arena where no honest judge belongs, trying to block the order.

Just as with Bill Clinton’s extrajudicial intervention, this time Obama Made a Surprise Visit to Hawaii 48 Hours Before Judge Blocked Trump Travel Ban – https://www.infowars.com/coincidence-obama-makes-surprise-visit-to-hawaii-48-hours-before-judge-blocks-trump-travel-ban/ … #BoycottHawaii

A coincidence? You be the judge. Maybe Judicial Watch can now sue Obama for his Hawaii travel itinerary earlier this week?

Of course, the former president is a proven liar just like Hillary is. Still, it would be more difficult for him to do so in a court of law under oath than at press conferences or political rallies. After all the judge he appointed can also be deposed as well as the staff who handle such meetings. So it would take a lot of lying under oath to cover this up.

LIBERALS’ DICTATORSHIP OF MINORITIES MORPHS INTO JUDICIAL ABUSE

Here are the opening paragraphs from that piece:

“America is rapidly becoming a nation of mutts. Our country’s traditional character is being systematically destroyed by nihilistic “liberals,” the New World Order’s centurions whose only God is the Almighty Dollar.

The same kinds of people invented the “dictatorship of the proletariat,” and applied it to the unsuspecting Russians. Now, they are trying to ram a “dictatorship of the minorities” down the naive Americans’ throats.

In its present form, America’s social demise is a more benign mutation of the “Bolshevik” revolution, perhaps the kind of a gradual change which the “Menshevik” communists would have preferred.

Either way, the desecration of America the Beautiful is not a spontaneous event. Nor is a deliberate dumbing down of our nation. It is a multi-pronged process carried out by the Wall Street elite and their vassals in government, education, media and the entertainment industry.”

(An excerpt from “Dancing ‘Round the Golden Calf” – http://www.truthinmedia.org/Columns/clip-aug-31-97.html)

ALTZAR: The only thing I can add to this piece almost 20 years after this article was penned is that so-called “liberals” have proven to be the most intolerant segment of our society. The violent disruptions of Trump’s campaign rallies is merely the latest example of their brand of “liberalism.”

LIKE RONALD, LIKE DONALD… PUPPETS ON A STRING

Birds of a feather flock together…

BROKEN PROMISES: TRUMP BACKS AWAY FROM THREAT TO JAIL HILLARY

“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,” Trump says after his visit to New York Times today

“They will get over it,” Trump brushes off his disappointed supporters

Maybe not: “BROKEN PROMISE” blared the headline of Breitbart News, Trump’s most loyal supporter

Here we go again. Looks like “they” are coopting Donald as they did with Ronald 35 years ago. Trump is not even president as yet, and “they” are already managing to soften him up.

“They?” The New World Order so-called “elite.” Of which Trump is a member.

Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa (My mistake, my big mistake – Lat.)

The real reason I have a pit in my stomach is that I allowed Trump to dupe me. So my journalistic, literary and geopolitical analyst’s pride hurts more than just one voter feeling betrayed.

Back on February 24, in my first editorial comment about the Election 2016, I called Trump a “Trojan Horse” of the American plutocrats.

“Trump is a card-carrying member of the billionaires club – the 563 plutocrats, out of 319 million of us, who have been getting richer while most of the American people are getting poorer.

“Those who deformed us cannot reform us,” read a crude white painted slogan on a Prague wall during the 1989 Velvet Revolution.

So the only person who can truly change the corrupt political system in America is an outsider, neither a Democrat or a Republican.” (from Trojan Horse”).

Okay, so back to today’s news first…

TRUMP AT NEW YORK TIMES

In a closed door meeting with editors of the New York Times today – yes the very same media rag that demonized Trump throughout the campaign (!) was honored by the presedent-elect – Donald Trump said, explaining why he backed away from his promise to prosecute Hillary:

“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t.” (Donald Trump, Nov 22, 2016)

No wonder “birds of a feather flock together.” Donald and Hillary and Bill and Melania have been chums for a long time (see Never Forget When Donald Trump And Hillary Clinton Were Actually Friends, Sep 26, 2016 – http://elitedaily.com/news/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-friends/1619008/).

bill-clinton-vs-melania-trump-in-cookie-bake-off-photo-blasting-library-people-com_832631

Alas, this is not just about Trump protecting the Clintons. It’s just as important that he is breaking his other election promises.

“Reneging on his repeated calls to assign a special prosecutor to go after Clinton is just the latest in a series of campaign promises Trump has abandoned in the two weeks since he was elected president, including a ban on Muslim immigration (Trump is now hedging), building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border (a mere “campaign device”, according to Newt Gingrich), and dismantling Obamacare (he’d like to keep the most popular parts.)

But Trump’s most adamant supporters aren’t taking this particular betrayal well. “BROKEN PROMISE” blared the headline atop Breitbart News, the media organization previously run by top Trump adviser Stephen Bannon.

Asked about disappointing his supporters, Trump told the New York Times they would get over it. “I don’t think they will be disappointed,” he said.

So all this supposed enmity between Donald and Hillary has been just a war of words, a tempest in a tea. A show. So much emotion, so much energy, so much money, so many millions of prayers by Trump supporters… and it may be all for naught. A mountain shook, a mouse was born.

Because the American plutocrats, like the Clintons and Trumps, are thicker than thieves. Trump has not ever been sworn as president, and yet this is become quite clear.

“…All candidates will say whatever it takes to get themselves elected. But once in office, how much can they be trusted to keep their promises?

All of those who voted Obama now know the pain of disappointment over broken promises. As do those who voted for the two Bush’s and Clinton before them. I have voted for none of them. So my conscience is clear.” (from Trojan Horse”).

Well, no longer. My conscience is no longer clear. I have become a part of the problem by voting for Trump.

Trump’s campaign manager, now presidential advisor, Kellyanne Conway, said today in an interview with MSNBC, that Trump backed away from prosecuting Hillary to give her time to heal.

Give her time to heal?

You’d think criminals get plenty of time to heal once behind bars. But evidently that does not apply to those among the New World Order “elite” who think they are above the law. Like Hillary. Now seconded by Trump.

I hang my head low in shame.

PS: Watch the Trump apologists now storm out of their hiding places. “How dare you?” some of them will say. “A troll!” others will shout. To which I say, quoting Arthur Schopenhauer:

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

So stand by for Trump stages two and three.

AMAZING SYNCHRONICITY

I am sure you will find this story pretty incredible, as I have, so let me play it back in chronological order.

This morning, following up on the news that Trump was going soft on the Clintons (or maybe he always has been), I was inspired to create this post as my today’s Facebook “Levity Interlude”:

Levity Interlude

Question: WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS THE TRUMPS WITH THE CLINTONS?

Answer: You get a snap from Ted Carol Bob Alice (1969 film) taken at Trump’s 2005 wedding. With a little wife swap for a change. 🙂

[feel free to add your own caption]

But BEFORE I had a chance to post the above, I got todays’ “On This Day”- hit from Facebook . It was about a post I made on three years ago. Look at the photo I had included with that post in 2013:

THREE YEARS AGO ON THIS DAY…

CLIMBING UP TO TOM’S THUMB

… AND ALSO FINDING DICK AND HARRY’S THUMBS THERE, AS WELL AS “BOB AND CAROL AND TED AND ALICE” – ALL THUMBS UP – http://t.co/e0OSpg0GIt

Along with this picture from the 1969 film Ted Carol Bob and Alice:

I was flabbergasted. Because up until then, I was completely unaware of this date “coincidence,” “synchronicity,” “divine sign”… take your pick.

My pick? Divine guidance. Which worked because I followed my intuition.

UPDATE NOV 25, 2016

Post-Thanksgiving Editorial

(I did not want you to choke on your turkey so I held it back a day. But this actually came to me yesterday on Camelback Mtn)

PIMP OR WHORE?

Feeling bad you voted for Trump? Don’t. Hillary would have been MUCH worse.

Think of it this way… We could have had another New World Order whore in the White House. Instead, we’ve got a New World Order pimp.

Guess that’s progress in a bizarre way. America is moving up in the plutocratic hierarchy. The plutocrats are actually starting to run the show instead of using their proxies.

And no, I am not implying that Hillary is Donald’s bitch. She works for other New World Order pimps, like the ones shown below, with towels around their heads.

That’s why Trump was not favored by the New World Order “elite.” Because he was one of them. Another pimp.

In other words, competition. They could not control him. They feared that if he got to the White House, he may start to drain THEIR swamp and divert the water into HIS business empire. Which is now about to happen.

And where does that leave the Trump voters?

Same place as always – holding the bag. After all, we live in a plutocracy. And it’s the plutocrats who hold all the aces.

NWO “Elite” Will Adjust and Adapt

Meanwhile, just like with Reagan 35 years ago, the NWO “elite” will adjust and adapt. They will try to surround the president-elect with their own stooges.

Who knows… considering how empathetic Trump has suddenly become toward the Clintons, maybe he’ll even find a corner for Hillary to work on. Maybe in some Saudi brothel? 🙂 That might be actually better than American prison.

The question is what, if anything, will the awakened masses of Trump supporters do when they realize they have been betrayed?

My guess? Nothing at all.

For now, most of them are still being ostriches and living the illusion that all will be well once Trump is confirmed as president. It may take a year or even longer for the masses to realize they have been duped and played for patsies. Just as the other NWO whores played them (Obama, the Bush’s, Slick Willie).

By then, the mass emotions and energy will have evaporated. And apathy will set back in. Look for 2018 midterm elections to produce the lowest turnout ever.

No wonder Trump said dismissively on Nov 22, “they will get over it,” when commenting about his broken promise to prosecute Hillary.

“They?” Who might that be?

Guess that would be you and me. The sheeple. Or at least that’s how the plutocrats like Trump and his brethren perceive us, the American public. We are now about to be fleeced by a new pimp instead of an old whore.

Yeah, we are moving up in the world.

UPDATE Nov 30, 2016

TRUMP DELIVERS TWO PUNCHES TO THE GUT OF HIS SUPPORTERS

President-elect dines with archenemy, then nominates former Goldman Sachs banker who used to work for George Soros and is a Hollywood insider to be his Treasury Secretary

If you voted for Donald Trump believing he would bring about real change, as this writer naively did, think again. During the last 24 hours, the president-elect delivered two punches to the gut of his Americans supporters.

His actions left no doubt that his populist rhetoric was just that – rhetoric, and that once in office, he will surround himself with the very same New World Order elitists his supporters voted against.

PRIVATE DINNER WITH ROMNEY

Trump dined last night in New York City with a man who called Trump a “fraud” and a “phony,” who said Trump’s words and actions were “degrading” to women, and who predicted Trump’s policies would trigger a recession, make America less safe and foster an era of “trickle-down racism.”

“I wanted my grandkids to see that I simply couldn’t ignore what Mr. Trump was saying and doing, which revealed a character and temperament unfit for the leader of the free world,” this man continued: “I know that some people are offended… but that’s how I can sleep at night.” (May 27, 2016)

Not that Trump was lost for words during the campaign when referring with derision to his last night’s dinner companion. President-elect labeled him a “stiff” and a “catastrophe” who had “choked like a dog” when he ran for president in 2012.

Yet that very man – Mitt Romney – is now the top contender for arguably the most important position in Trump’s cabinet – Secretary of State. Thus the reason for last night’s intimate private dinner.

Afterwards, Romney emerged from the dinner all smiles and sang effusive praises for his potential boss. He lavished Trump with compliments, praising “impressive” transition effort and “message of inclusion.”

And that’s the kind of brown-nosing that’s now helping him sleep at night? Don’t the turncoats like that make you sick to your stomach?

And no, I am not talking just about Romney. Because this morning, Trump delivered the second blow to the gut of his supporters.

TRUMP’S TURN ABOUT FACE: STEVEN MNUCHIN PICKED FOR TREASURY SECRETARY

If I say, Goldman Sachs – George Soros – Hollywood in the context of the presidential campaign, which candidate comes to your mind?

Hillary Clinton, of course. All three were perceived as bulwarks of her base of support. All three were, therefore, despised by Trump supporters and shredded on the social media pages by Hillary’s detractors.

Yet now Trump has picked the man whose business DNA embodies all three – Goldman Sachs, George Soros and Hollywood. And, by the way, who is, unsurprisingly given the foregoing, also Jewish.

“Prior to being in charge of Trump’s campaign finances, Mnuchin served as an advisor,” according to “Meet the Jews in Donald Trump’s inner circle” article in the Nov 15 Times of Israel.

The New York Times describes the Mnuchins as one of Manhattan’s elite “most influential families.” Mnuchin and his father both got rich working at Goldman Sachs,” the Times said.

And the new Treasury Secretary nominee also made a name for himself as a second-generation Goldman Sachs partner who worked for George Soros before starting a hedge fund and buying IndyMac, a failing California bank that made billions while foreclosing on homeowners after the financial crisis.

WOLF SHEDDING THE SHEEP’S CLOTHING

During the campaign, Donald Trump said the system was rigged. He said hedge fund managers are “getting away with murder.” He said that he’d “tax Wall Street.” He called Washington D.C. corrupt and promised to “drain the swamp.” He said his opponent Hillary Clinton was too cozy with the banks, as epitomized by her closed-door paid speeches. He said Clinton’s vice presidential nominee, Tim Kaine, was “owned by the banks” and that he, Trump, would break them up. Trump closed his campaign with an ad bashing Goldman Sachs and George Soros, using classically anti-Semitic phrases.

And now, the president-elect has chosen a second-generation Goldman Sachs partner who worked for George Soros before starting a hedge fund and buying IndyMac, a failing California bank that made billions while foreclosing on homeowners after the financial crisis.

Steven Mnuchin’s takeover of IndyMac is a story about everything Americans have come to hate about how the financial crisis was allowed to unfold ― ordinary people panicking, savvy investors pouncing, a government guarantee that saved a bank but didn’t even try to keep people in their homes, a clever rebranding, rampant foreclosures, billions of dollars in profits.

And now, the cruel punchline: The man behind it is being nominated for treasury secretary by a self-proclaimed billionaire populist.

Fake populist, this writer might add.

Back in February, I penned the editorial, which asked, IS TRUMP ACTUALLY A “TROJAN HORSE?” And then on Oct 23, two weeks before the election, I also warned that we must, “STAY VIGILANT: LET’S NOT HAVE A REAGAN FIFTH COLUMN ENCORE,” as had happened when Ronald Reagan was elected president, only to be drowned out by the New World Order stooges he appointed to his cabinet.

And now, regrettably, history repeats itself. It may take the Trump supporters some time to realize what hit them. It’s not the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s an oncoming train called BETRAYAL.

UPDATE DEC 2, 2016

HERE WE GO AGAIN, MORE “LIKE RONALD, LIKE DONALD”-CABINET APPOINTMENTS

Establishment Favorite James “Mad Dog” Mattis Sent to “Rein In” Trump

Donald Trump has selected the retired marine general James Mattis to be his nominee for secretary of defense. Mattis has deep wells of support on Capitol Hill and in the military, and his appointment comes with much establishment hope that he will be able to rein in Trump and bureaucratically neutralize Mike Flynn, the president-elect’s pick for national security adviser.

The retired general – nicknamed “Mad Dog” and known for his blunt remarks – would need a special waiver from Congress because he has not been out of uniform for the requisite seven years.

UPDATE DEC 4, 2016

“DON’T VOTE” WON!

“Don’t vote – it only encourages them” accounted for 45% of the electorate

Lowest turnout in 20 years: A mountain shook, a mouse was born

After all the hoopla and frenzie the lamestream media whipped up over the 2016 election campaign had subsided and the dust had settled, turns out a mountain shook and a mouse was born. It was a tempest in a teapot. A rather large teapot, admittedly. 🙂

The same old, same old political apathy that won the day on November 8 as it did two years earlier (see DISGUST & APATHY: BIG WINNERS IN 2014 ELECTIONS – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-yV ).

Voter turnout this year dipped to nearly its lowest point in two decades.

While election officials are still tabulating ballots, the 126 million votes already counted means about 55% of voting age citizens cast ballots this year.

That measure of turnout is the lowest in a presidential election since 1996, when 53.5% of voting-age citizens turned out.

For more, see…

Voter turnout at 20-year low in 2016 @CNNPolitics http://cnn.it/2eKsQ2D

ALTZAR: I have to admit I am feeling rather sheepish after posting this story. Because for the first time ever, this year I voted for an establishment candidate.

Shame on me! I fell for the Trump bait and thus betrayed by own guidance and knowledge earned the hard way working as a war correspondent and geopolitical commentator for over a decade.

On the other hand, I am encouraged to see that 45% of us did not take the bait. Not Trump’s nor Hillary’s. They refused to partake in the political charade called the American “Demo Farce.” Ironically, that was the title of my Washington Times November 1996 column whose message I did not heed (http://www.truthinmedia.org/Columns/DEMO%20FARCE.html).

Guess I should sometimes listen to my own music, like Algernon Moncrieff, the main characters in Oscar Wilde’s play Importance of Being Earnest” (1895). 🙂
