AN OPEN LETTER TO DONALD J. TRUMP
Mr. Trump,
You announced your presidential bid on June 16, 2015. Since then I have made multiple respectful attempts to connect with you directly, with Roger Stone, Cory Lewandowski and with your campaign staff. I wrote and published CounterCoup: How Trump Can Win, on 14 August 2015 in CounterPunch. I was unsuccessful in the months that followed. Worried about you, last week I turned to a retired hedge fund manager, now a philanthropist, and asked him who he talked to when he did his standard high dollar donation. Here’s what he told me:
Robert, it would surprise you how many people are attempting to reach Donald Trump right now. There is no campaign as we know it, no structure, no national coordination, no desire to connect with state/local GOP leadership—chaos is reigning supreme. The only people I know that were able to reach him (past tense) are the REDACTED folks, and that was through REDACTED.
ROBERT STEELE: I grew up in Asia and returned to Asia as a Marine Corps officer. It has been my privilege to be educated in Singapore as well as Viet-Nam, Thailand, and the Philippines, and I count among my long-standing colleagues some people with access to the Lee Kuan Yew (RIP) network. As Lee Kuan Yew has noted, “demography is destiny.” He might easily have said “demography — and gold — trump faux democracy, financialization fraud, and a hollow US military.” I asked the question of my most senior Singapore contact:
Why have the Rothschilds not been assassinated, starting with the great grand-children? What is holding up the restoration of balance in the global financial system?
Below is the answer I received, with my added comment.
By blaming Trump for a problem caused by their own political patrons, Hillary and the Democrats are walking face-first into Trump's rhetorical buzz-saw. Couldn't they find something else to hit him with?
Andy Xie says those attending the G20, Davos and other wasteful meetings are wrong to try to pin the blame for the turmoil on people’s psychology; all signs point to a prolonged period of global stagnation and instability
Most of us haven’t quite realized there is something extraordinary happening.A few months ago, I freed myself from standard-procedure society. I broke the chains of fear that kept me locked up into the system. Since then, I see the world from a different perspective: the one that everything is going through change and that most of us are unaware of that.Why is the world changing? In this post, I’ll point out the eight reasons that lead me to believe it. Read more.
The government of Iceland is considering removing the power of commercial banks to create money and handing it to the central bank.
Phi Beta Iota: The US Constitution calls for the government, not banks, to create the common currency. Corrupt politicians gave that power away, they can take that power back. This is one of the issues a virtual Constitutional Convention could discuss in the run-up to the November election in the USA.
