IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE OR CHINA THE ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES ??
How is the Fed being used to embezzle money from government for the benefit of Wall Street bankers ?
Answer: https://thedailycoin.org/2018/08/16/a-look-at-the-federal-reserve-through-a-different-lens/.
How is the embezzled money used to fund war-mongering, chaos, and oppression throughout the world ? The foreign policy of the US is established by Wall Street—not DC. Wall Street used their crony Allen Dulles to establish the CIA to conceal their war-mongering behind ‘national security.’
Answer: https://thedailycoin.org/2019/07/10/looking-at-the-imf-and-world-bank-through-the-eyes-of-a-wall-street-economist/.
Is this the same future Wall Street has planned for the United States ??
Answer: YES. Ref. Douglas Valentine, CIA AS ORGANIZED CRIME; John Perkins, CONFESSION OF ECONOMIC HIT MAN.
What can China do to the U.S. ?
ANSWER: They can withhold shipments to Walmart. Or sell US Treasury securities.
Greenland??? Yeah that’s a big threat. Problem with this poll is, I guess you have to be a twitter critter. Never have been and never will.
Who are Trump’s friends? A short and fluid list surely.
Trump Calculus
Assume we are tracking 2008 … Crash NOW … Upswing 2020.
Looks like DJT doesn’t have to worry about a primary foe, so as long as economy starts to get better by summer of 2020 ( in March 2009 stock market started its relentless march upward) still has a good shot at reelection.
Better now than keep applying duct tape to hold things together … because if Crash occurs in 2020 … DJT is COOKED.
There are no elections in China…so they can withstand the fallout from the trade war…Trump…not so much…expect the economy to falter prior to election…Deep State has made their money from Nov 2016 and on…now its time to reinstate a Democratic figurehead….
He is cooked either way imo. His stupidity is what is cooking him. He needs an enemy but opponents have figured out that ignoring him and letting him flounder in search of an enemy is way past it. The economy is as fragile as ever. It couldn’t handle a few interest rate hikes.
I wonder what Obama would have done with an unedited Twitter feed? Bush the First? Reagan? Teddy (or Franklin D) Roosevelt? Nixon?
All these guys had a bunch of “handlers” who’s sole purpose is to filter all their idiotic ramblings from the public. If we learned anything from the Watergate tapes, Johnson’s recordings, etc it is that behind closed doors they are vulgar degenerates who are sold to the American people like laundry soap.
Of course Trump’s appeal to the American people is the fact that he is ignoring them. Remember he was often a guest on the Howard Stern Show and like many New Yorkers thinks being a “regular guy” jerk is a virtue. I’m sure someone tried to filter him early on in the administration, but once they realized he’d rather eat McDonalds and play golf in Florida than attend the National Symphony and hold big state dinners, they’re just going to let him do whatever he wants.
“Trump’s appeal to the American people is the fact that he is ignoring them.”
…
You are correct. I remember summer of 2015 watching Iowa state fair on C-SPAN. One of those events everyone running for POTUS attends. The “usual” for the candidates is to wear flannel shirt / jeans and act like one of us.
DJT? Haha. He came on the Trump helicopter. Stepped off looking like he spent the day on his (very expensive) yacht. The crowd ate it up. HRC (in her jeans) was there at same time … all alone after the stampede to DJT.
Trump is garnering all of the attention…thanks to Mish, MSM, and other websites…and the old adage, “it’s the economy stupid” will play out even more as the election gets closer. The Fed is running out of gun powder and a 50 basis point cut will be a band aid to an already slowing global economy. The only problem is the US economy is better than most other countries so Trump will try to salvage what is left of a sinking ship…The biggest challenge to all Americans who follow websites for their information is determining what is “real”…even then it will not matter…I know several people who purchased more house than they could afford in 2006-2007….walked away from their homes…and 2 years later were purchasing a new home with a “qualified” safe 4% 30 yr fixed mortgage…
Trump haters have figured out that the only way they can prevent him from being re-elected is to crash the markets, so that is the plan now. I got out of the market but will soon buy back in at better prices, thank for very much dummycrats!
China is in a tough spot,What can they buy from the US that’s worth anything?America’s biggest driver of growth over the last decade is government,drug trafficking,prostitution,homelessness….why would China want any of that?
I vote for the CIA as our biggest and most dangerous enemy.
Whatever their foibles, flaws and lacking felicities, Americans are great with one-liners: We have met the enemy and he is us.
Presidents get WAY too much credit or blame for the economy under their watch.
That said, if there happens to be a major recession in the next year, why would an average Joe trust a Republican to run the country ever again? Think about it — Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump. Two raging bullish economies under Democrats, potentially three massive recessions under Republicans.
I’m not saying it’s fair, but them are the facts (with a pretty big ‘if’ on the next 12 months).
“Presidents get WAY too much credit or blame for the economy under their watch.”
It’s very true they have little power to influence economic growth, but illogical random flailing around can sure help contraction.
“Two raging bullish economies under Democrats…”
Obama had the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. It was the stock market that was ragingly bullish.
H.L. Mencken:
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
SARAH PALIN FOR FED CHAIRPERSON
I knew there was a historical figure this all reminds me of. Couldn’t think who.
Caligula.
Perhaps Trump will appoint his favorite horse as Fed Chairman.
Man, I wish I had said that!
I was only half kidding…
Which part of the horse?
SARAH PALIN FOR FED CHAIRPERSON
Where’s the Praetorian Guard when you need it?
Trump can fire Powell tomorrow and replace him with whoever he wants. Jimmy Carter fired two Fed Chairmen in less than 18 months. Trump will keep Powell around just to use him as a punching bag.
And we still have the G7 to get through.
As other world leaders (who may or may not be rational adults) watch this clown show, USD Reserve currency status ending in 3…2…1….
What takes its place?
Yes. That would be just great: a reserve currency covered by full faith versus one covered by hope, the final solution for reserve currencies. One wonders if they are so desperate?
“As other world leaders (who may or may not be rational adults) watch this clown show, USD Reserve currency status ending in 3…2…1….”
I was reading a comment the other day that there is a dollar shortage. I also read that 100 dollar bills outnumber 1 dollar bills.
Apparently, dollars are being hoarded outside the U.S., as foreign locals don’t trust their own currency.
Come on. Trump may be a clown, BUT Central Banking is worse by far.
could someone bring a mirror to trump so he can nominate himself as the root cause of these problems ?
Greenland or other. Specifically: other.
This is becoming a circus.
