GEORGE SOROS: PSYCHOPATH TRYING TO CHANGE THE WORLD TO HIS OWN LIKING

Stand by for more terror and mayhem around the globe

SOROS TRANSFERS $18 BILLION TO HIS “OPEN SOCIETY” FOUNDATIONS

George Soros was born and raised in Hungary. Yet even his countrymen hate him and loath what he has become – a global troublemaker and destroyer of cultures and nations.

Billionaire investor George Soros has given away nearly $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations, transforming it into the “second largest” charity in the US after the Bill and Melinda Gates’ Foundation.

On Tuesday, the 87-year-old tycoon moved the hefty sum from his personal funds into his non-profit group, the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times report. Soros, the 29th richest man in the world with a net worth of more than $25 billion according to Forbes, had reportedly been working on the transfer for several years.

The magnate intends to “leave the vast majority of his wealth to the Open Society Foundations,” the chief of the group’s strategic communications and public affairs, Laura Silber, said, as quoted by AFP.

The investment heavyweight set up the Open Society Foundations in 1984. It has since become the target of criticism among the billionaire’s other projects.

EVEN HIS COUNTRYMEN, HUNGARIANS, HATE SOROS

‘Christian duty to fight Satan’s Soros plan to bring migrants into Europe’ – Hungarian MP – https://on.rt.com/8pgn

George Soros was born and raised in Hungary. Yet even his countrymen hate him and loath what he has become – a global troublemaker and destroyer of cultures and nations.

A Hungarian MP recently slammed billionaire George Soros and supporters for attempting to dilute the spirit of Europe with “the forced settlement of tens of millions of migrants.” He claimed there is a Christian duty to fight what he called “Satan’s Soros” plan.

The lawmaker in question, Andras Aradszki, who represents the Christian Democratic People’s Party (KDNP), claimed that “Soros and his comrades want to destroy the independence and values of nation states,” as cited by the Budapest Beacon.

According to Aradszki this is happening “for the purpose of watering down the Christian spirit of Europe with the forced settlement of tens of millions of migrants.”

In July, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused Soros of using the EU in order to create a “new, mixed, Muslimized Europe”. The prime minister said that Soros is now more powerful in Brussels than in Washington or Tel Aviv and he argued that European institutions should fight to limit his influence.

“OPEN SOCIETY:” SOROS’ EUPHEMISM FOR INCITING GLOBAL REVOLUTIONS

The charity has been accused of inciting so-called color revolutions to install governments friendly to the US – from the Serbian ‘Bulldozer Revolution’ in 2000 to the Ukrainian uprising in 2013.

Soros’ foundations have also funded anti-Trump protests across the US, both during and after the 2016 election.

Soros’ foundations are said to be the most influential around the globe, as “there is no part of the world that they have not been,” according to Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation, as cited by the New York Times.

The tycoon’s activities have been repeatedly slammed by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and other officials, who accuse him of weakening nation states, saying Soros-funded groups helped illegal migrants to enter Europe at the peak of the refugee crisis.

Months later, WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange claimed that Soros, alongside the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), funded the mainstream media’s narrative of the Panama Papers scandal to trigger a negative propaganda campaign against Russia.

TALK ABOUT CONFLICTED: SELF-ADMITTED ANTISEMITIC ETHNIC JEW WHO HATES ISRAEL

One could scarcely find another prominent world figure who is more conflicted and controversial than George Soros. He is generally lionized by the left and vilified by the right. He was born a Jew yet hates Israel and loathes his roots.

Israel is in a virtual war with George Soros (see the New York Times article with just that title – Israel’s War Against George Soros https://nyti.ms/2uqmykJ). There is certainly a war of words with Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu taking the point.

Soros is also in a war of sorts with Donald Trump and with Russia’s political establishment, where he and his foundations are personas non grata.

So what is it that makes George Soros such a global lightning rod?

Well, the $23 billion of his estimated wealth is a starting point. (Just today – Oct 18, 2017, Soros has transferred $18 billion of that total to his Open Society Foundations – see https://goo.gl/7BaffN). Applied judiciously where it hurts the most, such wealth can cause a lot of pain to its targets.

So there is no shortage of Soros-haters around the world. Yet this writer is inclined to feel at least a little sorry for him. For, my research has shown that he is a deeply troubled man who belongs in a psychiatric ward.

Of course, the likelihood of that happening is probably between slim and none. Thanks to his $23 billion, of course.

BACKGROUND

George Soros’ real name is György Schwartz. He was born in Budapest on Aug 12, 1930 to “a well-to-do non-observant Jewish family, who, like many upper-middle class Hungarian Jews at the time, were uncomfortable with their roots. Soros has described his home as antisemitic.” (Wikipedia).

So right from the start of his life, Soros was introduced into self-loathing and shame. Describing his ethnic Jewish family as “antisemitic” would be like “I am an Englishman and Anglophobe,” or “a Frenchman as Francophobe.”

In other words, someone who is deeply conflicted.

RELUCTANT NAZI COLLABORATOR

Soros’ experiences as a teenager in Budapest during WW II did not help his psychological development much. Here’s what a Newsmax May 2004 article said about that period of his life:

“When the Nazis occupied Hungary in 1944 (* see correction below), Tivadar (Soros’ father) and his family went into hiding. Taking on false identities as Christians, they survived the Holocaust.

Soros writes that life under Nazi and communist rule shaped his character in unexpected ways. One effect was to darken his attitude toward fellow Jews.

He never forgot how Hungary’s Judenrat, the Jewish Council set up by the Nazis, betrayed Jews in exchange for special privileges. At one point, the Judenrat recruited him and other Jewish youngsters to hand out leaflets deceptively persuading unwitting Jews to turn themselves in for deportation to the death camps.” (An excerpt from “George Soros’ Coup,” NEWSMAX, May 2004 – http://www.kuratrading.com/PDF/SorosCoup.pdf).

So a natural-born Jew became a Jew-hater, filled with shame and loathing, later on in life looking for targets against whom to vent his anger. And finding them in various peoples, countries, economies around the world which Soros wants to destroy so as to make them “better.”

Like Nero who burned Rome in 64 AD showing similar disdain for human life. As did Hitler in WW II.

Psychopathic behavior? You bet.

PSYCHOPATH’S PSYCHOPATH

As Sam Gerrans, an English writer and activist, said in a Feb 2016 OpEd piece (George Soros: A psychopath’s psychopath – https://on.rt.com/74gz), Soros fits the definition of a psychopath.

Gerrans’ examples refer mostly to Europe and Russia. But Soros is a global psychopath. His support of violent groups in the US, like Antifa or MoveOn, has proven it.

Here’s an excerpt from that Gerrans OpEd:

“When a psychopath lies, or steals, or manipulates – or does whatever he thinks is required to get what he wants – he has no greater emotional connection with his actions than you or I have with yesterday’s lunch.

We, the non-psychopaths, tell little lies and do little wrongs. But we have a limit beyond which we will not go. For the psychopath, scale makes no difference. Stealing a family’s savings, or crashing an economy, or destroying a country is of no more consequence to the psychopath than deciding not to return ten bucks to a cashier who had made a mistake.

And no matter what evil the psychopath meticulously plotted and practiced against you, to him, what happens is your fault. Always.

Soros is part of a cabal which plans the overthrow of countries at dinner. Psychopathy is the baseline requirement for membership. So if you think conscience will make him and his friends stop at some point before you and your family reach conditions materially identical to those experienced by the inhabitants of the Donbass region – or if you think that Western Europe is beyond the scope of their plans for engineered collapse just because you wouldn’t do something like that – you will find that you are wrong.

When Europe is in tatters, and its men (whom Soros’ money helped turn in one lifetime from actual men into effeminized liberal cultural lemmings) are squawking in disbelief as their pampered delusions are shattered in the “collapse” Soros envisages, Soros will not care. No matter that this is Europe and it is your life under attack this time, and not that of brown people or Eastern Europeans. It won’t make any difference.

For a psychopath it’s simple: you let him do it – it’s your fault.”

So why are we letting him do it? Are we waiting for Soros to engineer like Hitler another world war before someone puts a stop to his madness?

* HISTORICAL CORRECTION

Actually, the Nazis did not “occupy” Hungary in 1944. Hungary has been a Hitler vassal and willing participant in pogroms against the native populations of occupied countries (e.g., Yugoslavia). In 1944, Hungary tried to bolt, having realized Germany was losing the war. That’s when Hitler did to Hungary, a former ally, what he had done to other occupied nations – used the German military force to prevent the Hungarian betrayal.

UPDATE JUNE 15, 2015

It’s interesting to see how often one’s pure intuition gets confirmed later by new revelations and facts. This is what I wrote about Soros and Russia over six months ago (OIL WAR 2014: PRELUDE TO SHOOTING WAR?, DEC 7, 2014):

“And George Soros’ fingerprints seem to be all over it. This Hungarian-born Wall Street shark is credited with bringing down the British pound and the Bank of England 22 years ago while making over a billion pounds for himself by short-selling.”

Today, June 15, 2015, Mint Press revealed the following leak about Soros…

LEAKED: GEORGE SOROS ‘PUPPET MASTER’ BEHIND UKRAINIAN REGIME, TRAILS OF CORRUPTION REVEALED

Hacked emails also reveal Soros’ machinations with the US Government and the officials of the European Union in a scheme where, if he succeeds, he could win billions in the plunder of Ukraine assets. All, of course, would be at the expense of Ukrainian citizens and of EU taxpayers.

By Mint Press News Desk | June 15, 2015

Rarely does the world get a true look inside the corrupt world of Western oligarchs and the brazen manipulations they use to enhance their fortunes at the expense of the public good.

The following comes from correspondence of the Hungarian-born billionaire, now naturalized American speculator, George Soros. The hacker group CyberBerkut has published online letters allegedly written by Soros that reveal him not only as puppet master of the US-backed Ukraine regime. They also reveal his machinations with the US Government and the officials of the European Union in a scheme where, if he succeeds, he could win billions in the plunder of Ukraine assets. All, of course, would be at the expense of Ukrainian citizens and of EU taxpayers.

What the three hacked documents reveal is a degree of behind-the-scene manipulation of the most minute details of the Kiev regime by the New York billionaire.

In the longest memo, dated March 15, 2015 and marked “Confidential” Soros outlines a detailed map of actions for the Ukraine regime. Titled, “A short and medium term comprehensive strategy for the new Ukraine,” the memo from Soros calls for steps to “restore the fighting capacity of Ukraine without violating the Minsk agreement.” To do the restoring, Soros blithely notes that “General Wesley Clark, Polish General Skrzypczak and a few specialists under the auspices of the Atlantic Council [emphasis added—f.w.e.] will advise President Poroshenko how to restore the fighting capacity of Ukraine without violating the Minsk agreement.”

Soros also calls for supplying lethal arms to Ukraine and secretly training Ukrainian army personnel in Romania to avoid direct NATO presence inUkraine. The Atlantic Council is a leading Washington pro-NATO think tank.

Notably, Wesley Clark is also a business associate of Soros in BNK Petroleum which does business in Poland.

Clark, some might recall, was the mentally-unstable NATO General in charge of the 1999 bombing of Serbia who ordered NATO soldiers to fire on Russian soldiers guarding the Pristina International Airport. The Russians were there as a part of an agreed joint NATO–Russia peacekeeping operation supposed to police Kosovo. The British Commander, General Mike Jackson refused Clark, retorting, “I’m not going to start the Third World War for you.” Now Clark apparently decided to come out of retirement for the chance to go at Russia directly.

OIL WAR 2014: AN UTTER FAILURE OF WASHINGTON, WALL STREET

Russia sanctions? What sanctions?

RUSSIAN RUBLE SOARS ON HIGHER OIL PRICES

The Ruble Now the World’s Strongest Currency?

Nearly three years ago, the Truth in Media published an editorial “OILD WAR OF 2014” (Dec 7, 2014 – see an excerpt below). Assisted by Wall Street, George Soros and Saudi Arabia among others, the US government tried to bring Russia down to its knees by forcing the world oil prices to tumble.

Why? Because Russia is the world’s largest energy exporter, and the third largest oil producer (left). The country relies on oil and gas exports for 50 percent of its federal budget, and 70 percent of the country’s total exports.

UTTER FAILURE

Three years later, it is clear Washington-Wall Street collusion did not work. Greed and the self-interests of the energy producers and European and other consumers prevailed over Washington’s foreign policy dictates. The oil prices are surging again, and so is the Russian ruble.

Brent crude prices hit a 26-month high on the news Turkey has threatened to cut oil supplies from Iraqi Kurdistan. This gave a boost to the Russian ruble, which remains the world’s strongest currency against the US dollar in the last 12 months.

So the Oil War of 2014 ended up as an utter failure of Washington and Wall Street.

A Truth in Media editorial

OIL WAR 2014: PRELUDE TO SHOOTING WAR?

December 7, 2014

In the old days of gallantry between the foes, a country would declare war by delivering a diplomatic note to the enemy’s head of state. Nowadays, the New World Order hooligans do it by shooting down an unarmed civilian aircraft.

The world did not realize it at the time, but the shoot-down of Malaysian flight MH-17 on July 17 was the starting gun of a new war between the West and the East (see HOW & WHY BOEING MH-17 WAS SHOT DOWN). So far, the shooting war has been confined only to the southeastern portion of Ukraine. But the economic war has already engulfed the entire planet.

A TWO-PRONGED ATTACK: OIL & RUBLE

What followed the downing of the MH-17 by Washington’s Ukrainian puppets was an oil price war. Crude oil prices tumbled 35% in the last five months. And Russia was the main target of this attack. Which is far more painful than any sanctions the US or the EU applied against Moscow.

A 35% drop in oil prices has deprived Russia of hundreds of billions of dollars in export revenues. Which means the country’s economy has been set back on its heels.

OIL WAR 2014: PRELUDE TO SHOOTING WAR?

A TWO-PRONGED ATTACK: OIL & RUBLE

(updated 12-12-14)

A 35% drop in oil prices has deprived Russia of hundreds of billions of dollars in export revenues. Which means the country’s economy has been set back on its heels.

The oil punch has evidently caught Russia’s leaders flatfooted. Maksim Oreshkin, head of Russia’s Finance Ministry’s strategic planning department, was quoted as saying that, “it is unlikely that we will see a sharp drop in prices, but we are unlikely to see a sharp rise. Most likely, we will see stabilization in the area of $90 per barrel,” Oreshkin said in late September.

Well, so much for Russia’s understanding of its strategic geopolitical position. Check out what actually happened with the oil prices since then.

By flooding the market with their soaring shale oil production (below right), the US oil producers have put most of their global competitors under water. There is not a single competitor left that’s making any money at the current prices, according to the above Deutsche Bank chart, which the Truth in Media has modified to highlight the current situation.

U.S. oil production has increased by about 80% over the past six years, from 5 million barrels per day in 2008, to 9 million per day this year, according to this Dec 2 FORTUNE article. As a result of all this fracking and cracking, the US has now become the world’s No. 1 oil producer, surpassing both Saudi Arabia and Russia (left).

$Earth_Globe Wall St shark frack$

So score one knockdown for the Washington-Wall Street team. But at what a price! Not only is the W-W team fracking Russia and the Saudi sheiks, but they are doing it to the planet that nurtures us all – Mother Earth.

Which puts a new spin on an old saying, “he would sell his own mother”… for a barrel of oil.

SECOND PRONG: ATTACK ON RUBLE

The oil war escalated in recent days to a massive investor attack on the Russian ruble, which lost 40% against the dollar this year. And George Soros’ fingerprints seem to be all over it. This Hungarian-born Wall Street shark is credited with bringing down the British pound and the Bank of England 22 years ago while making over a billion pounds for himself by short-selling.

(To learn more about Soros, check out this May 2004 Newsmax article by Richard Poe – “George Soros’s Coup” – SorosCover and SorosStory – PDFs, as well as the “Rape of Russia Explained by Anne Williamson” – including her 1999 testimony before Congressional Committee on Banking and Financial Services).

Why do we think Wall Street engineered this attack on the ruble in collusion with Washington?

Because if the drop in the oil prices were the only reason behind it, the Saudi dinar would have tumbled down proportionately as well. Yet if you look at the above chart, you will see that the dinar has been rising at the same time as the ruble was being gutted. Which suggests that the Saudis are also playing on the W-W team.

All of the which seems to carry Soros’ fingerprints. It is a well known fact that this Wall Street tycoon has been practically running the State Department during the Clinton administration. After all, at his own website, Soros is practically calling for Europe to wage war on Russia, and for the IMF to finance it:

“Europe is facing a challenge from Russia to its very existence… All available resources ought to be put to work in the war effort even if that involves running up budget deficits (see “Wake Up, Europe” by George Soros, October 22, 2014).

And when Soros speaks, White House listens. Especially when a Democrat is in residence.

Whether or not Soros was involved, score the second knockdown for the Wall Street-Washington team. Which is too bad for them. Because that one seems to have finally rung some alarm bells in Moscow.

Let Sleeping Bear Lie: from rigs to rockets

Worse for the W-W team, they have not learned from Napoleon or Hitler to let the sleeping bear lie. Their belligerent actions have served as a wake-up call to to the Russian bear.

In his annual address to Duma on Dec 4, the Russian parliament, president Putin issued a stern warning to Washington and its EU vassals (click here for highlights of his speech):

“We should not forget the lessons of the past,” Putin said, “Just like Hitler failed with his misantrophic ideas, he failed to destroy Russia — everyone should remember how this ends… no one will be able to get a military edge over Russia.”

So there you go… the war canvas has just widened from oil rigs to nuclear launchpads.

“The U.S. and its allies are seeking to change the regime in Moscow through sanctions and attacks on the ruble and the oil price,” Russia’s spy chief Mikhail Fradkov, said this week (see Russian Spy Chief Blames U.S., EU for Ruble, Oil Price Collapse, Bloomberg, Dec 4).

And that will never happen (see PUTIN: U.S. WILL NEVER SUBDUE RUSSIA, NOV 19, 2014).

MOTHER EARTH BIGGEST LOSER

Meanwhile, the business media, like the FORTUNE magazine (Dec 2), are starting to tally the winners and losers in the current oil war. And they figure that the American consumer is among the winners.

Indeed, the gas prices at the pump have finally started to drop. But not before the oil companies gouged every last penny from the American consumer during the high travel season.

The average price for regular gas at pumps across America over Thanksgiving weekend was about $2.80 — the lowest in four years and 50 cents below last year’s average, according to AAA. Some states are even likely to see prices below $2 per gallon.

Indeed, there is already at least one station in Oklahoma City that was selling its gas for $1.99 per gallon this week (right). Compare that to over $9 per gallon in Norway, also an oil producing nation.

So it’s all goodness, right? Wrong. Because there is no free lunch. Cheaper gas will bring greater subsidies for fossil fuel companies, lower demand for renewable energy provides, like solar or wind, and more pollution all around.

So we may be spending less at the gas pump, but will be choking on cheaper gas as well.

Finally, the greatest travesty. This oil production boom in our country was made possible by fracking, a new method of extraction that ravages Mother Earth, poisons our water supply, and increases risk of earthquakes. And that’s even before considering the risk of nuclear holocaust when the oil war morphs into a shooting one.

Is that the kind of “winners” we want to be?

Not this writer. So here’s a big thumb-down for this Wall Street-Washington war on Russia. Because its endgame is a war against Mother Earth.

Ron Paul: ‘US provoking war with Russia, could result in total destruction’

Former congressman Ron Paul has lashed out at the resolution the House passed against Russia, branding it “one of the worst pieces of legislation ever.” It could even pave the way for a potential war with Russia, as it was with Iraq, he warns.

Resolution 758 strongly condemns the actions of Russia under Vladimir Putin, for what it describes as a policy of “aggression against neighboring countries,” in a motion that describes Moscow’s political and economic domination in the region.

However, Ron Paul says the bill was nothing but “16 pages of war propaganda that should have made even neocons blush.”

“THE RAPE OF RUSSIA” – UNDER BORIS YELTSIN – ONE OF THE GREATEST HEISTS IN HISTORY

To understand why Wall Street and Washington hate Putin, see the following 4-part series of articles by Anne Williamson, former Moscow Wall Street Journal correspondent, and author of the book “THE RAPE OF RUSSIA“.

It was Putin who put a stop to the looting of his country when he took over as Russia’s president in 2000. During Yeltsin’s 9 years in power (1991-2000), greedy western “investors,” i.e., Wall Street sharks, and their boots on the ground, the Russian oligarchs, had absconded with over $100 billion of Russia’s assets. It was one of the greatest heists in history.

Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa, who headed the House Banking Committee, announced on Sept. 1, 1999 that the Russia scandal could prove to be “one of the greatest social robberies in human history.”

Based on preliminary inquiries, Leach declared that he was “very confident” that at least $100 billion had been laundered out of Russia, an unknown portion of which may have been divert- ed from the International Monetary Fund and other foreign aid loans (see SorosStory – PDF).

And Anne Williamson here explains how it was done…

UPDATE DEC 16, 2014

“CATASTROPHIC” DROP OF RUBLE RINGS ALARM BELLS ACROSS RUSSIA

Nine days ago, the Truth in Media published an essay on oil and ruble war Wall Street is carrying out against Russia (see OIL WAR 2014: PRELUDE TO SHOOTING WAR?, Dec 7). Since that time, the oil prices have dropped further, while the ruble seems to be in a free fall.

Timothy Ash at London-based Standard Bank described the ruble’s fall as “the most incredible currency collapse I think I have ever seen in the 17 years in the market, and 26 years covering Russia” (Huffington Post, Dec 16).

The ruble came under intense selling pressure Tuesday, falling at one point by a catastrophic 20 percent to a new historic low, despite a massive pre-dawn interest rate hike from Russia’s Central Bank, the Huffington Post reported today. Russian officials were clearly rattled even though state television urged citizens not to panic.

“The situation is critical,” Deputy Central Bank chairman Sergei Shvetsov was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying. “We could not have imagined what is happening in our worst dreams.”

The Central Bank’s surprise decision to raise the interest rate to 17 percent from 10.5 percent in the middle of the night Tuesday appeared to be a desperate attempt to prop up the troubled currency. The ruble has fallen sharply in recent weeks and is down more than 60 percent since January, due to sinking oil prices as well as the impact of Western sanctions imposed over Russia’s involvement in Ukraine’s crisis.

The ruble’s collapse has spurred ordinary Russians to rush out and buy imported products such as fridges and cars, since inflation is making those items more expensive daily. It is also likely to heap pressure on President Vladimir Putin, despite his wide popular support.

The ruble traded at 72 per dollar late Tuesday afternoon — a modest improvement from earlier, when it hit 78.5 to the dollar.

Wall Street Pyrrhic Victory: Ruble’s Freefall Actually Helps Russia’s Most Important Industry

So it looks like Wall Street is winning in its war on Russia?

Well, looks can be deceiving. Because so far, this has been a “Phyrrhic victory” for boys and girls in pin-striped suits. Wall Streeters are cutting off their own noses to spite themselves. And to please their Washington detachment. Alas, that’s “fool’s gold.”

The reason is that the ruble’s freefall is actually helping Russia most important industry – oil and gas (see Ruble Freefall Helps to Shield Russia’s Most Important Industry, Bloomberg, Dec 16). Because the oil prices in US dollars have been also dropping by about as much as the ruble.

Today, after dropping below $60, the Brent price then fell to $58.50 a barrel, before recovering slightly to $59.01 (see BBC News report, Dec 16). They are now down almost 50% since June.

Not so in rubles, as you can see from the above chart.

So while Russia’s plunging currency is becoming a growing concern for policy makers in Moscow, the benefits for the Treasury are swelling as it receives more and more rubles for each dollar of oil export revenue.

The CHART OF THE DAY shows that Brent crude sold for an average 3,759 rubles a barrel this year, the most on record, even after the mean dollar price of $101.74 dropped to the lowest since 2010.

Russia’s fiscal accounts are benefiting from this year’s more than 40 percent decline in the ruble as it kept pace with a similar slide in oil, which is priced in dollars. The government’s budget surplus is 1.27 trillion rubles ($23 billion) through November, compared with 600 billion rubles in the same period last year and 789 billion rubles in 2012, according to Finance Ministry data. It was 1.34 trillion in 2011.

Oops… maybe the Wall Street financial wizards should retake their Harvard or Wharton MBA classes.

As for the Washington “experts,” by now they are probably used to having the market plaster egg on their faces.

LET US REJOICE: NEW DAWN RISES OVER AMERICA AND THE WORLD

BREAKING THE SHACKLES OF NEW WORLD ORDER SLAVERY

Did you hear that clang at 1:11 AM last night? It was the sound of the New World Order shackles hitting the ground. At that auspicious moment – the Masters #111 on a Masters #11 day (11-09-2016) – Donald Trump was officially declared winner.

And we, the American people, did it. We broke those shackles and have now started to tear down the walls and chains with which the plutocrats of the New World Order have kept us enslaved.

Just like the Britons did on June 24 when they voted for Brexit. Just like the French did on July 14, 1789 when ordinary folk stormed the Bastille and overthrew their aristocratic oppressors. Fortunately, we and the British people did it peacefully, armed with but a pen or a finger at a ballot box.

MY OCT 16-19 DREAMTIME PREDICTION: TRUMP WILL WIN

Three weeks ago, Spirit guides helped me predict Trump’s victory in three continuous dreams – on Oct 16, 18 and 19 (see NEW WORLD ORDER SNAKES TO BE EXPELLED FROM AMERICA – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-1TK). Here’s the gist:

“Like Saint Patrick in Ireland, Donald Trump and the American people will drive away from America the New World Order snakes on Nov 8, 2016.”

MOZART’S SYMPHONY #40: A DREAMTIME PRECURSOR OF TRUMP’S VICTORY, NOW A NEW DAWN SYMPHONY

The night before the election day, I played this symphony in my dream. Literally… fingering and all. It was very vivid. And it felt like a victory song – a joyful celebration. Perhaps an Ode to Trump? A precursor of his victory.

Tonight (Nov 8), as the votes are still being counted across the country, I played it again live. And now, I also want to share it also with you. This is the version I recorded over two years ago as my birthday gift from Mozart. It is one of the most UPLIFTING piece of music ever written. Which was fitting at a time the American people were breaking the shackles of the New World Order.

MOZART SYMPHONY #40 (“ROO SYMPHONY” – now a “NEW DAWN SYMPHONY”) – a film by Bob Altzar Djurdjevic – his 70th birthday gift from Mozart – music recorded entirely on a Clavinova on May 30, 2015 – some video clips from a Mozart concert at the Musikverein were recorded in Vienna on May 17, 2014

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:

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?

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).

IGNORE LAMESTREAM LIBERAL MEDIA FROM NOW ON AND WATCH THEM WITHER AND DIE AS SURELY AS PLUMS TURN TO PRUNES

Or start to brown-nose Trump

One of the best things that have happened during the last year of US election is that the lamestream media have become thoroughly discredited. If there was ever any doubt before that they are nothing but empty suits and dresses in service of the New World Order plutocrats, there should be none left now.

The likes of Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN etc. have lied through their teeth throughout the campaign; they have blatantly and unashamedly supported the most corrupt candidate ever to run for president; they have invented bogus stories to smear Trump; some have even paid bimbos to lie about their alleged sexual dalliances with our new president.

In other words, the so-called “mainstream” media have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are trashy whores of the New World Order. The fact that we, the American people, elected Donald Trump president despite their propaganda, is heartening. It means we are not all brainwashed. And that offers hope for America to be beautiful again.

So all we need to do in the future is to continue to ignore the lamestream media stories, shows, and other propaganda packaged as “entertainment.”

How do we do it? Easy. Just cancel your cable TV subscription and keep only the Internet. That’s what I did years ago and have never looked back. First we have to stop the brainwashing before we can start cleansing the minds and teaching the public how to THINK again.

Without us as their audience, these media whores will wither and die eventually just as surely as plums turn to prunes.

NO ‘LIBERAL’ GUARDIAN ‘MEA CULPA,’ ONLY STUNNED SURPRISE

The fact that Trump won and did it so convincingly was only a surprise to the arrogant “liberal” media who had been shamelessly bending over backward to push Hillary into the White House.

The Guardian, a left wing British newspaper, doggedly attacked Trump and blindly supported Hillary throughout the campaign. In fact, their reporting of the US Election reminded me of a famous quote by another British writer – Arnold Bennett (1867-1931):

“Journalists say a thing that they know isn’t true in the hope that if they keep on saying it long enough it will be true.”

Well, that didn’t happen this time around. So the Guardian is left with a large egg on its face. Yet, no ‘mea culpa’ or any other sign of humility from its editors.

Here’s an excerpt from Guardian’s today’s editorial ruminating about ‘what went wrong,’ when actually everything went right, except for those wearing a “liberal” blindfold:

The triumph of Donald Trump

In a stunning turnaround at the end of a bitter and polarizing election campaign, Republican Donald Trump was declared president-elect at 2.30 amthis morning. The result, delivered with a clear electoral majority, was immediately declared one of the greatest presidential election upsets. “Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business, complicated business,” the billionaire businessman and former Apprentice host told supporters gathered to hear his victory speech at a New York hotel. “I will be a president for all Americans,” he said.

Trump won 279 electoral delegates, with three states yet to be called, winning the crucial battleground states of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio. The Democrats’ “blue wall” in the midwest, including Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, crumbled against all poll predictions. But the Republicans didn’t just take the White House, they kept control of the House and Senate. Trump’s opponent Hillary Clinton, defeated in her quest to make history as the first female president, conceded the race in a phone call on Wednesday morning but did not address her hundreds of dumbstruck supporters who had gathered at the Javits Convention Center in New York.

How Trump won

Trump is the first reality television star and the first non-politician since Dwight Eisenhower to win the nomination for president of a major political party. He was the first to spend part of his campaign denying sexual assault allegations and clashing with the family of a fallen soldier and a Miss Universe winner. At 70, he is the oldest person in history to be elected US president. His winning formula was to copy Ronald Reagan’s simple promise to make America great again and, according to exit polling data, focusing on fears around terrorism, immigration and trade. It was an appeal to the heart, not the head, and his supporters overlooked his obvious flaws. (for more, see… https://is.gd/AqWUrQ)

THIS ELECTION PROVED THE POWER OF THE INTERNET

This election has also demonstrated the power of the Internet. None of this would have been possible had we not had access to alternative news sources and social media channels. So we must cherish and protect those sources from interference by the government agencies, like the NSA or FBI, or from subservience by the IT stooges of the New World Order, like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Which reminded me of an article I published on that topic 22 years ago, in November 1994, when the word Internet was still highlighted in red by the PC spellcheckers:

“Two decades ago, I likened the PC and the Internet revolutions to the invention of a handgun.

“They empower the individual and small companies to compete with industrial giants on a level playing field,” I wrote in a landmark Annex Bulletin (End of Western Dominance? Refusion of Arts & Sciences, Nov 1994 – http://www.djurdjevic.com/Bulletins/global/94-52_End_of_West.html).

I was wrong. It was much more than that. The PC and the Internet did empower individuals not just to compete with industrial giants but to even win. Witness Google, Apple (resurgence), Facebook, and hundreds of other companies that have emerged as IT leaders since then.

As a result, they unleashed a tsunami of creativity around the globe. Which, in turn, led to a restructuring of the social and political order in many countries.”

Such as in the U.S. in November 2016.

ASSANGE: BETTER LEAKER THAN ANALYST, WAS WRONG ABOUT TRUMP 3 DAYS BEFORE ELECTION

In a TV interview with John Pilger, an independent fellow Australian-born journalist, filmed at the Ecuadorian embassy in London and broadcast three days before the election (Nov 5), Wikileaks founder Julian Assange predicted that Trump “would not be allowed to win.”

By saying that, the man who has done more than any other human on the planet to expose Hillary’s crimes, transgressions, lies and distortions, proved himself to be a better info. leaker than an analyst. Here’s a part of that interview Assange said:

Pilger also questioned Assange over increasingly frequent accusations from the Clinton camp, and Western media, that WikiLeaks is looking to swing next week’s US presidential election in favor of Donald Trump – perhaps at Russia’s behest.

But Assange dismissed the prospect of Trump, who is behind in the polls, winning as unlikely – and not necessarily due to his standing with the electorate.

“My analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump does not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment,” said Assange. “Banks, intelligence, arms companies, foreign money, etc. are all united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as well. Media owners, and the journalists themselves.” (for more, see… http://on.rt.com/7tv7).

I remember shaking my head in disbelief when I read that segment on Nov 5.

“Why has he suddenly gone soft?” I wondered. “Is Assange trying to appease Hillary if she gets elected? Or was it that she just faith and conviction and was also under the spell of NWO establishment and media power?” It takes real guts to swim against such a tidal wave.

But Assange’s sudden softness seemed so out of character for a man who has fearlessly given his freedom to the cause of truth and full disclosure. So I just filed this story in the back of my memory. Until now.

THE AMERICAN TRAGEDY: NEARLY 60 MILLION OF AMERICANS VOTED FOR THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN HISTORY

This election demonstrates the success of New World Order’s Dumbing Down of America,” and the need to start re-educating our fellow citizens

Back in 1997, I published a column in the Washington Times titled DANCING ‘ROUND THE GOLDEN CALF. My original title for that piece was “Dumbing Down of America.” The fact that two decade later, nearly 60 million of our fellow citizens voted for the most corrupt candidate in the history of U.S. presidential races, attests to the success of New World Order plutocrats’ dumbing down process. And that is a true American Tragedy.

So what’s to be done?

Well, neutralize and eliminate the plutocrats. Drive the New World Order snakes from our shores or put them behind bars. That’s the first order of business as I said earlier.

Then we must start to repair the damage they have done to several generations of our fellow-citizens with their quasi “liberal” ideas, with their greed-driven materialistic morality, with their our education system which denigrates America’s traditional culture and values, with their Hollywood and pro sports-driven agendas.

It has taken several decades to dumb down our nation. It will take us as long or longer to steer America back on its righteous path of liberty and justice for all. But as Confucius said, “a thousand mile journey begins with the first step.”

We took that step today. Let us continue and persevere in making America great again. With God’s help.

Letter to a “liberal” friend and Hillary supporter in Australia:

GET READY TO EAT A LARGE BOWL OF CROW

I have a longtime and dear friend in Australia. Trouble is, he is a died in the wool “liberal” and a Hillary supporter. Which is like going around with blinkers. You only see what “they” want you to see.

My friend has been occasionally writing to me during the last several months with critical comments about my editorials and predictions. Such as that we should ignore the liberal lamestream media polls and just get out and vote.

Occasionally, I would also reply with a disagreeable comment of my own. But realizing the futility of such arguments, I mostly suggested we both bide our time and bite our tongues until Nov 8. And now that the Election Day has come and gone, here’s a message I have just sent to to my friend in Australia:

“I hope you are ready to eat a VERY LARGE BOWL OF CROW, my mate. Sorry I could not quickly find an image of a bowl big enough to suit the purpose.

You should eat crow not just because of the election results and Trump’s victory. But because of extreme arrogance that you and your liberal brethren around the world have shown toward anyone who did not share your views. Such as yours truly who has been saying all along that we should IGNORE the lamestream media polls because they are biased and therefore will be proven wrong in the end.”

NEW YORK TIMES’ ELECTION DAY FLIP-FLOPS

Check this out, “fresh” off the press from a leading liberal lamestream media organization – the New York Times:

“The New York Times runs an election tracker web page that calculates the odds of presidential victory, popular vote margins, and projected Electoral College totals, in addition to monitoring the final state-by-state results.

At the beginning of Election Eve, the tracker gave Hillary Clinton an 85% to win the election. Within two hours, the odds had shifted to a 50-50 race. At 10:30 PM Eastern time, with the last few decisive swing states waiting to be called, the odds stood at 90% for Trump.

Now, at 11:15 MST (1:15 AM Eastern), the New York Times is calling for Trump to win 308 electoral votes with 95% certainty. “

UPDATE NOV 10, 2016

WATCH OUT FOR “LIBERAL” TURNCOATS: THEY COULD BE THE FIFTH COLUMN IN TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Every time there is a momentous change in the world history, such as what just happened in the U.S., the minions and apparatchiks who had faithfully served the fallen regime rush into their closets to put on the new regime uniforms. And pretend that they were for Trump all along.

So stand by for lots of brown-nosers to crawl out of the rat holes where Hillary and Obams loyalists had been living. We must not let them come anywhere near Trump. Lest they infest him with the “liberal” rat poison they were spreading across the U.S. and around the world.

What brought this on?

A memory of this image I saw in Bosnia in 1992 when I was working as a war correspondent. It was September 1992. The Bosnian had not even been into its 6th month. The fall of the Soviet Union was merely nine months old. Yet the local communist turncoats, who had faithfully served Tito, a mass-murderer of the first class, were discarding their red stars like excess baggage.

Over the next year or so, stand by for similar “transformations” of the HIllary and Obama “liberals” here in the U.S.

Because, people like Hillary, Obama and their followers are the antithesis of anything “liberal.” They have made this noble term into a dirty word. Because the so-called “liberals” in America and around the world are anything but LIBERAL. They are the MOST INTOLERANT segment of our society. They foster dictatorship of minorities. They only believe in “their way or highway.”

Witness the violent protests some of them are launching as we speak against the free will of the American people who have elected Donald Trump as our president. We must stop them. And then just stomp on them to keep them down in the dustbin of history where they belong. Along with Hillary and Obama.

UPDATE NOV 11, 2016

DUMP THE MEDIA “PUNDITS”

So-called “pundits” have been wrong about everything, including stock market reaction to Trump victory

Take a look at this stock market chart. What do you see?

What I see is a large egg on the faces of mainstream media and its so-called “pundits.” They have been wrong about everything, including stock market reaction to Trump victory.

Even one of the leading lamestream media whores – the New York Times – now admits that. Here’s an excerpt from its today’s story:

“To the long list of pundits who called the election all wrong — as well as its likely consequences — add Wall Street analysts.

As the presidential election approached, they were falling all over themselves to predict a Hillary Clinton victory and, afterward, a modest stock market rally. The prospect of a win by Donald J. Trump was so remote as to be deemed a “black swan,” an event that was only distantly possible but would have potentially dire consequences for financial markets.

Among the many predicting a drop in equity markets in the unlikely event of a Trump victory were analysts at Citibank, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley. Keith Parker, head of cross-asset strategy research at Barclays, forecast a drop of 11 to 13 percent in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index.

The hedge fund Bridgewater Associates went even further, warning clients that the Dow Jones industrial average would fall 2,000 points. (see New York Times, Nov 11, 2016)

The New York Post was even tougher on the “pundits” in its yesterday’s story Pundits were spectacularly wrong about the 2016 election:

Boy, were they wrong.

Pundits botched the presidential election in epic fashion — claiming for months that Hillary Clinton was a lock for the presidency before being shocked back to reality by Donald Trump’s victory Tuesday night.

Longtime political researchers and experts, including Nate Silver of the closely watched site FiveThirtyEight, predicted that Clinton had numerous broad paths to the 270 Electoral College votes that would place her in the White House, while Trump had only a few narrow ones.

Numerous media outlets and personalities projected a decisive win for the former secretary of state — including New York magazine, which slapped a grotesque photo of Trump on its cover with the word “Loser” just days before Election Day.

Deadspin columnist and GQ correspondent Drew Magary went so far as to publish a scathing piece about the Republican candidate on Sunday — titled “Donald Trump Is Going To Get His Ass Kicked On Tuesday.”

“This isn’t close, and never was,” he wrote.

Foreign Policy magazine was so sure of a Clinton victory that it published an article in July titled “The Republican Party Is On the Verge of Extinction.”

Not to be outdone, a month later, The Hill followed up with an opinion piece written by a contributor headed “Trump’s loss could make the GOP extinct.”

But once the ballots were counted, Republicans took control of the White House, Senate and House.

What’s To Be Done?

Well, step one, as I have said before is – dump the lamestream media and its “pundits,” unplug your TV from network broadcasts and do your own research on the internet using many independent sources.
Step two, if you own any stock market equities, dump them now! The stock market may be up for the time being, but it is a bubble that will eventually burst. And you don’t want to end up holding the bag when that happens. Better to forego some short-term gains, than to face larger losses down the road. (Even some of the “pundits” now agree with me on this – “Why this post-election jump in the stock market probably means nothing” – see https://is.gd/6D203V).

Why am I not bullish on the current bull market?

Because it’s all smoke and mirrors. The stock market is nothing more than a legalized casino with traders in pin-stripe suits placing much bigger bets than the Las Vegas gamblers.

Here’s what I wrote about it way back in 1998 in a story titled “The Raging Bull of Wall Street Is Just That – Bull!:“

“Wall Street has become almost totally decoupled from the nation’s economic activities. Like a gambling casino, it is largely driven by investment cash flows, not profits or losses of the companies it trades.” (The Raging Bull of Wall Street Is Just That – Bull! (1998)

We are also “pleased” because we have been saying at least since 1997 that Wall Street has become a casino, and that corporate fundamentals have little to do anymore with stock values. (Wall Street Casino (2002).

In fact, if you CLICK HERE, you will be able to see SEVERAL DOZEN articles I had written between 1997 and 2002 on the subject of the Wall Street Casino.

If you do that and still decide to chase the rainbows at the Wall Street Casino, that’s okay. At least I won’t have you on my conscience.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As a business consultant and financial and IT industry analyst, I have spent a lifetime blowing the smoke out of my clients’ eyes trying to help them see clearly what’s ahead.

And who were these clients? Well, they were large multinational companies, the “Who’s Who” in the IT industry during the 1980s and 1990s, starting with IBM and then going down the list.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: I invite those of you who only know me by my geopolitical, war reporting, artistic, musical or shamanic hats – also to check out my two business websites. They are now inactive (I retired in 2014) but are still very much relevant: Annex Research (1978-2013) – http://djurdjevic.com/ and Annex Research (2013-2014 – http://annexresearch.wordpress.com/. And it is this kind of business consulting work that actually paid for all my other activities by which I am perhaps better known. You will find there many stories which can help you understand why I think that dumping your stock holdings now (if you still have some), will serve you well in the future.

Levity Interlude: A Letter from Canada

Got a letter from an old friend in Canada this morning. “For your chuckle,” his note read. Actually, it almost made spit. Read my reply to him at the end to see why.

NEWS UPDATE FROM CANADA

The flood of Trump-fearing American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past couple days. The Republican presidential victory is prompting an exodus of left-leaning Americans who fear they’ll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution. Canadian border residents say it’s not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, global-warming activists, and “green” energy proponents crossing their fields at night.

“I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,” said southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota.

“He was cold, exhausted and hungry, and begged me for a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn’t have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”

[snip] – the letter continues in the same SNL mocking style. Here’s my reply:

ALTZAR: Funny, but I only wish it were true. These scumbags are not known for keeping their promises any more than Hillary is known for telling the truth. Besides, why would Canada agree to be a dumping ground for the U.S. trash?

PS; Rather than wait for them to leave the U.S., which might take till hell freezes over, perhaps Trump should deport them to Saudi Arabia. Where they can give concerts in the desert to help pay off the Saudi’s $25 million investment in Hillary. :-)

Remember that New York Times’ publisher apology for blowing the election? Well, predictably, it was short lived. The liberal media establishment whores are back to their old tactics – smearing anybody and anything to do with Donald Trump.

Yes, these same unrepentant media folks who UNSUCCESSFULLY demonized Trump and ended up with the largest egg on their face in history of American journalism. Undaunted, they are now switching their attacks from Trump to his cabinet and staff appointments.

The Truth in Media members have proven themselves capable of sniffing out BS stories when they see one. And they know what to do with them – file them in the overflowing “liberal news” trash bin.

BEWARE: THOSE WHO DO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT!

Meanwhile, why not focus instead on how these same election LOSERS are now trying muzzle Trump by inserting fifth column people of their own among his staff appointments. Like “Reince” Priebus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, whom Trump has just named White House Chief of Staff. I fear that over time, Trump may end up like Reagan – surrounded by New World Order establishment shills.

Check out this piece I published over three weeks ago warning about that – long before Trump was even elected. And, it has already started happening. So we must stay vigilant to make sure Trump does not stray from the path we followed him on.

WHITE HOUSE FOR SALE: ASKING $5 BILLION

UPDATE JULY 29, 2016

WHITE HOUSE FOR SALE: ASKING $5 BILLION

Shortening campaign to 90 days and limiting spending – only way for America to return to its roots and stop the current demo-farce

Want to know how long the election campaign lasts in Japan? Twelve days. By law. And no paid advertising is allowed.

And in our country? The 2016 election campaign will have lasted 596 days by the time the votes are cast in November. Ted Cruz kicked off on March 23, 2015.

national-election-campaign-length-days-_chartbuilder-5-_custom-e361b32fbf266cf666c4b4c03c8bdbd2a6a24aeb-s400-c85

What about other countries? In Canada, the last election lasted 78 days. In Britain and Mexico 139 and 147 days respectively. And so on…

There is no other country in the world with election campaigns as long and as costly as in the United States.

How costly? Perhaps $5 billion or even more, according to some estimates.

By the time it comes down to just 2 candidates, and those candidates start spending money like it’s their job (in a way it is their job), we will see that number skyrocket. Many believe that the campaign in 2016 will double, triple, or even quadruple the spending in 2012.

Most estimates show that the election in 2016 will cost at least $3 billion; many believe it will cost $5 billion; and some even put the number as high as $10 billion. Read more: How Much Will it Cost to Become President In 2016? | Investopedia).

Have the U.S. elections always been so long and so costly? Nope. When John Kennedy was elected in 1960, his election cost $9.8 million (about $80 million in 2016 dollars). LBJ’s 1964 election cost even less – $8.9 million (see the chart below).

Prior to the 2016 election which is sure to set new spending records all around, the most expensive election was four years ago (2012). It is estimated that Obama’s sponsors bought the second White House for him for three quarters of a billion dollars, roughly the same as what they paid in 2008. The overall 2012 spending is estimated at $2.6 billion.

This year, Hillary Clinton is poised to smash these records. With the second and the third most popular New World Order establishment candidates out of the race (Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz), Hillary is likely to receive truckloads of money from Wall Street and other corporate and foreign sources in the hopes of defeating Donald Trump (also see BILLARY CLINTON CASHING IN ON WHITE HOUSE FAME (AND INFAMY) – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-Wu – May 15, 2015).

Can Truckloads of Establishment Money Beat Trump?

Speaking of Trump, his $96 million campaign spending so far looks positively puny compared to Hillary’s and other leading candidates’. And yet he is the leader of the pack.

So could 2016 be the first time in more than half century that White House may NOT go to the highest bidder?

Let us hope so. Because if money continues to succeed in buying the White House, what’s the point of voting.

You see, complacency of the American voter during the last half century has allowed the New World Order “elite” to establish PLUTOCRACY in our country (the rule of the few over the many). And the deep-pocketed plutocrats have made sure to raise bar so high that no candidate other than those they buy and send to Washington even has a chance of competing, let alone winning.

This is what I wrote about that nearly 20 years ago:

“Fielding two horses from the same stable evidently suited the U.S. Establishment just fine. Election ’96 was a “demo farce!” The U.S. democracy is turning into a New World Order plutocracy” (an excerpt from my Washington Times column – “DEMO FARCE” AND THE AMERICAN CENTURY, Nov 1996).

Back in August 2012, the TIME magazine cover showed the White House with a real estate FOR SALE sign – Asking $2.5 billion. Make that $5 billion or more this year.

how_much_will_it_cost_to_become_president_in_2016

And yet, if my reading of the 2016 election tea leaves is right, even that much money may not be enough to for the New World Order establishment to buy the White House. Thanks to the internet bypass of the corrupt lamestream media, more and more Americans are becoming aware of how we have been duped by the so-called “elite” over all these decades.

More and more of us see Hillary and her financial backers as oppressors of the American people, and as world class criminals who do not hesitate to commit mass murder or start a war in their quest for greed and power.

No wonder that even our corrupt establishment media, like CNN, have been forced to report that, according to the latest poll, Trump is topping Hillary 44% to 39% in a four-way matchup – including Gary Johnson (9%) and Jill Stein (3%) – and by three points in a two-way head-to-head, 48% to 45%.

And the two-way race is only now getting under way.

Shortening campaign to 90 days and limiting spending – only way for America to return to its roots and stop the current demo-farce

There is an easy way out of this plutocratic quagmire. Shorten the election campaign to 90 days maximum, and severely limit the spending for each candidate.

That would ensure a fairly level field for all. And eliminate the possibility for the New World Order “elite” to try to manipulate elections in the future.

Let us hope that Donald Trump as president-elect will make such legislation his highest priority. Because it would open doors to many other smart and talented Americans who are not multi-billionaires like himself. And it would be a sure way to “make America great again” – his campaign slogan.

One year ago on this exact day, I published the Truth in Media editorial “FDR OPENED WALL STREET-WASHINGTON REVOLVING DOOR IN 1934” (AND OBAMA AND HILLARY WALKED RIGHT THROUGH IT – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-15J – July 26, 2015 and BILLARY CLINTON CASHING IN ON WHITE HOUSE FAME (AND INFAMY) – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-Wu – May 15, 2015).

Part of that editorial included this image of Hillary’s major donors from Wall Street with a caption: LOOK WHO IS PAYING FOR HILLARY’S ELECTION.

Today, I reposted this piece. And what a difference a year makes. The vast majority of responses I have received so far from the readers was how dumb or stupid the people are who are voting for such a thoroughly corrupt and disgraced candidate, as Hillary Clinton.

One of them, for example, wrote:

“Are the american voters this dumb to ignore all this money theft & corruption?”

I replied:

Yes. Some. The elite have been working on this for decades. See my 1997 Washington Times column – DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA (published as DANCING ‘ROUND THE GOLDEN CALF – http://www.truthinmedia.org/Columns/clip-aug-31-97.html), and the 2013 update to it – DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA II – http://www.truthinmedia.org/2013/Dumbing%20Down.html).

And now, here’s the irony, while the rich Wall Street type along with foreign (Saudi) interests are paying for Hillary’s election, the people who are voting for her come from the opposite end of our social strata.

PROFILE OF A HILLARY VOTER

In broad strokes though:

Middle aged women
Seniors who do not strongly identify as Republican
Black people
Minorities in general
And last but not least – the Jews (see how easily Hillary defeated Bernie Sanders, a Jew, in New York with help of Jewish vote – https://is.gd/6snl9V).

So the rich are paying for Hillary’s election and the lower classes and minorities whose ignorance and labor the rich are exploiting are voting for her.

That’s like voting for your henchmen. Or henchwoman in this case. Can it get dumber than that?

Dumbing Down of America? You betcha. And here’s a proof of it.

ANYBODY BUT A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN

DONALD TRUMP, HILLARY CLINTON, JEB BUSH, JOHN MCCAIN – LEAD ACTORS IN A POLITICAL FARCE NOW PLAYING ON STREETS AND SCREENS OF AMERICA

Any time you hear “liberals” and “conservatives” screaming in unison, you know someone has just told the truth.

A Facebook friend from Florida commented July 23 on this Twitter post I made yesterday…

“The depopulation of Agenda 21 will continue either way. You don’t hear Trump talking about that…,” my friend wrote.

His comment implied that I was supposedly supporting Donald Trump. So I replied…

“I am not a Trump fan any more than Hillary’s. I’d say we should vote for anybody but a Republican or a Democrat. Or just a vote-in candidate.”

TRUMP: SHADES OF PEROT 1992 CAMPAIGN

The preceding sums up my political orientation ever since Ross Perot’s first run for president in 1992 as an independent candidate. Like Trump, Perot largely funded his own campaign. And like Trump right now, for a while Perot was also a frontrunner.

In late May 1992, a Time Magazine poll found that Perot had 37% support of all the electorate. Less than six months before the election, Perot was ahead of both Bush and Clinton who were tied for second at 24%.

It was panic time for the New World Order powers that be. So they swung into action.

In July 1992, Perot abruptly dropped his candidacy, accusing the Republicans of a dirty tricks campaign. Perot felt his phones were being tapped, and that the Bush campaign had photos of one of his daughters in a compromising position, and intended to disrupt her wedding.

Perot later got back into the 1992 race. But that was too little too late. He lost handily.

Ever since, it has become clear to me that no independent candidate must be allowed to win. And that we have a “demo farce” in this country, in which both establishment party candidates race for the same stable owners (Wall Street and Big Business) – see Demo Farce’ and the American Century, my Washington Times column, Nov 1996.

Republican presidential candidate, real estate mogul Donald Trump, speaks at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, Saturday, July 18, 2015. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik) — Republican presidential candidate, real estate mogul Donald Trump, speaks at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, Saturday, July 18, 2015.

Fast-forwarding to the current presidential races, Donald Trump has built up a big lead over the rest of the Republican candidates by trashing the establishment’s fair-haired “heroes,” like John McCain.

Trump was right, of course. He called a spade a spade. McCain is nothing but a fraud hero. He makes this writer embarrassed to be from the same state (Arizona) – seeTWO OF “KEATING FIVE” WERE FROM ARIZONA –fb.me/43vDRBXCB.

The ferocity with which Trump is now being attacked from left and from right is reminiscent of Ross Perot when he was the frontrunner in June 1992.

Any time you hear “liberals” and “conservatives” screaming in unison, you know someone has just told the truth.

Why?

BOUGHT AND PAID FOR POLITICIANS

Take a look at these establishment candidates, starting with McCain, who ran against Obama in 2008. Look who is paying for his reelection now…

And then, say to yourself, “anybody but McFraud.”

On to the Clintons… Hillary is now the new Wall Street darling. And she has also reportedly taken money from some well-heeled foreign sources.

Isn’t that illegal? Sure. If you get caught.

But the way the Clintons got around it is by directing the millions of dollars from foreign governments to the “Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.”

Recent donors include the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Australia, Germany and a Canadian government agency promoting the Keystone XL pipeline, the Wall Street Journal reported in February.

“Slick Willy” did not earn his old nick name for nothing. And now Hillary is also benefiting from it.

And so it’s All in the Family… 🙂

Here’s a bumper sticker from Bill Clinton’s 1996 election campaign.

And now, here’s a new version of it…

But Hillary may not be as slick as her Willy. On July 24, a story broke that she may be facing a federal criminal investigation over her handling and deletion of tens of thousands of her emails while she was Secretary of State (see HILLARY CLINTON: A NIXONIAN CANDIDATE, July 24, 2015).

So she may end up booted out of the White House before ever entering it again. In which case our nation may breathe a sigh of relief. Unless, of course, another Bush gets in.

So “ANYBODY BUT A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN” might be an appropriate 2016 election slogan.

And here’s why… Because they would all guarantee this country’s continued REGRESSION.

* * *

So if it’s “anybody but Clinton,” and irt’s “anybody but McFraud,” what about the Jorge Bush dynasty family from Texas?

Well, I don’t see much difference between them and the Clintons. Basically, it’s a Game of Thrones in which the winner will still be a mere servant to the Wall Street powers that be…

Either way, it would be REGRESSION in American politics… as I said in Terminator-Liberator: What’s the Difference, Feb 1, 2015).

UPDATE MAY 11, 2016

WALL STREET MONEY: COMMON BOND BETWEEN HILLARY AND CRUZ

OBSERVER: Wealthy Cruz Donor’s Firm Pours Millions Into Clinton Campaign

Back in July of last year, I published the piece “ANYBODY BUT A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN” – http://wp.me/p3QU1S-14W. The Truth in Media editorial illustrated the deep ties between Hillary Clinton and Wall Street, as well the close ties between Obama and Bush family and this country’s financial movers and shakers.

Well, a new story has just surfaced about a common Wall Street donor to both the Ted Cruz and Hillary’s campaigns (see the link below from Observer, a weekly Manhattan-based newspaper).

See what I meant – “anybody but a Democrat or a Republican?”

AMERICAN CORPORATOCRACY (Corporate Plutocracy)

US CORPORATE TAX DODGERS – NEW PRINCES OF THE 21st CENTURY

ALSO, HOW THE FED KILLED THE US DOLLAR

Many of us will find the enclosed video an eye-opener. America, as our Founding Fathers had envisaged it, ceased to exist when private bankers took over the management of the country’s wealth in Dec 1913. We have all become heavily indentured to the bankers.

As a result, they own 40% of the assets traded on public exchanges and 60% of the corporate earnings, according to Karen Hudes, an economist and lawyer, one of the many interviewees in this revealing video. And the US taxpayers are left holding the bag. And the tax bills.

So to title this video “The Choice is Ours” shows that its authors have a sense of humor.We should regard this video as a satire that carries a deadly serious message.

Check out this video – “The Choice is Ours” – Interviewees

US CORPORATE TAX DODGERS: NEW PRINCES OF THE 21st CENTURY

As a result, the vast majority (over 99%) of Americans today are enslaved by financial means. As a nation, we are in debt to the hilt – $ 1 7 , 9 4 9 , 3 0 9 , 3 6 7 , 9 9 9 . 6 1 – as of 13 Nov 2014 at 05:21:48 PM GMT.

Which, of course, delights the bankers who hold our government bonds.

It gets worse…

As individuals, even the “well to do ones” among us tend to carry large mortgages or other debt, thus deluding ourselves about our true wealth. And most of us pay taxes both on income and property we own. In many states, we also pay tax on products and services we buy.

Meanwhile, many of the “slave owners,” the top US corporations, are getting off scot-free. Like these 26 large companies that paid NO TAX in the five years between 2008-2012.

How’s that for a cozy arrangement? Meet the new Princes of the 21st Century. Not since King John and Magna Carta in 1215 AD have “the Princes” (ruling class) shown such greed and contempt for fairness and the rule of law.

HOW THE FED KILLED THE US DOLLAR

So the US taxpayers suffer while the corporations and bankers prosper. Since 1913, the Fed have virtually killed the US dollar. Our currency is today worth less than 5 cents of the 1913 dollar.

Put it all together, and what we have in America is a classic plutocracy. Or CORPORATOCRACY, in our case.

In the wake of the Panama Papers leak, the eyes of the world have been on big business and the globe’s most powerful individuals. With revelations of huge sums of money being held offshore and tax evasion rife among the elite, appetite has possibly never been greater for transparency and full disclosure.

The latest episode in this saga comes courtesy of Oxfam America who analyzed the tax affairs of the 50 biggest companies in the US to reveal data on such aspects as expenditure on lobbying, income from federal loans and bailouts, and of course, money held offshore.

Of the 21 companies with the most offshore cash, 8 have a tech focus, with Apple, Microsoft, Google and IBM in the overall top 5. Apple had the most offshore funds of all companies with a whopping 181.1 billion US dollars. The infographic below pulls these 8 tech companies together to see how they stack up in terms of money held offshore and subsidiaries in tax havens.

OBAMA THE MOST CORRUPT: TOOK MORE $$$ FROM WALL STREET THAN ANY CANDIDATE IN HISTORY, THEN PAID THEM BACK WITH LOFTY APPOINTMENTS

HILLARY NOW TRYING TO CATCH UP TO OBAMA

In the current race, Hillary Clinton leads all candidates with $3.4 million from the Wall Street securities and investment industry, Marco Rubio was second with $1.6 million, Ted Cruz third with $754,583, John Kasich fourth with $274,317 and Sanders with $108,761.

Dead last with ZERO (NON) Wall Street contributions is Donald Trump. That’s the man Wall Street bankers are afraid of. Because they cannot buy him and control him.
