Trump vs. Warren And The Fake Battle Against The Elites

It seems like a simple and easy to identify pattern, but for some reason the public keeps falling for the same old globalist tricks. A well-worn tactic the money elites use to endear certain puppet political candidates to Americans is to encourage those candidates to use anti-elitist rhetoric, only to then flood their cabinets with those same elites once they get into office. The rule of politics seems to be, “Say whatever you want to get the people on your side, but once you're in office, you do as we tell you...”

These candidates will aggressively attack the banks, corporations and wall street, lamenting the rapid decline of the middle class or “working class”. They will point out that a mere handful of ultra-rich, the top 1%, control more wealth than nearly half of the population combined. They will seize upon the travesties of the poor and argue for “change” to bring balance back to the system. They will pretend to expose the crimes of the banking cabal and the upper echelons of Wall Street. They will put on a grand show; and then, they will do the bidding of their masters and play the role they were groomed for...

Americans are suckers for fake “people's candidates” and always have been.

But perhaps I should expand on this with some real world examples. How about Jimmy Carter, who started out his presidential campaign with a dismal 4% in the Democratic polls. Carter would go on to explode in popularity after attacking what he referred to as the “Washington insiders”, the elites that ran the show from behind the curtain. A widely distributed paperback book that promoted Carter during his campaign called “I'll Never Lie To You: Jimmy Carter In His Own Words” quoted the candidate as saying at a Boston rally:

The people of this country know from bitter experience that we are not going to get … changes merely by shifting around the same group of insiders.”

His own top aide, Hamilton Jordan, promised:

If, after the inauguration, you find a Cy Vance as Secretary of State and Zbigniew Brzezinski as head of National Security, then I would say we failed. And I’d quit.”

Carter was portrayed as a statesman free from connections to the globalists; a religious man and veritable white knight pure in his associations. This was viewed as an important image to maintain at the time. After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the presidential candidacy of true anti-globalist Barry Goldwater and the highly questionable role of Henry Kissinger in Richard Nixon's administration, the public was growing increasingly suspicious of the nature of government and who was really in charge. Carter was initially seen as a cure for the public's distrust.

Of course, as soon as Carter entered office he injected no less than ten members of the globalist Trilateral Commission and numerous other elites into key positions in his administration, including Cy Vance and Zbigniew Brzezinski. And of course, his top aide never quit. The elites knew exactly what the public wanted at that moment in history, and so they gave it to them in the form of Jimmy Carter. Carter's administration would go on to serve numerous globalist interests, but this attracted the ire of the American public, who felt betrayed.

How about another example of fake anti-globalists and anti-elites?

Enter Ronald Reagan, the anti-Carter. The conservative (and former democrat) who wasn't afraid to point out that Carter was surrounded by Trilateral Commission ghouls and question his honesty. Reagan attacked Carter while maintaining a distance from more “conspiratorial” language. Reagan stated in 1980 during his campaign:

I don’t believe that the Trilateral Commission is a conspiratorial group, but I do think its interests are devoted to international banking, multinational corporations, and so forth. I don’t think that any Administration of the U.S. Government should have the top nineteen positions filled by people from any one group or organization representing one viewpoint. No, I would go in a different direction...”

Reagan, like Carter, was touted as having no affiliations with the elites. He was pure and unsullied by the globalists. But alas, Reagan also quickly picked at least 10 Trilateral Commission members for his transition team once he was elected, and he served the interests of the elites throughout his two terms in the White House (for the most part) under the watchful eye of George H.W. Bush.

If this is starting to sound familiar then you are probably more awake and aware than most. The elites use the same strategies over and over and over again, usually with minor variances to keep things fresh. As many of my readers are well aware, I have been consistently pointing out the fraudulent anti-globalist image of Donald Trump the past few years, and his administration has followed a very similar path to those described above with a few important differences.

Trump ran his campaign as a populist and opponent of the elites. His image was that of a person untouched by the influence of the establishment. In fact, the primary argument among his supporters was that Trump was “so rich” that he “could not be bought”. He criticized Hillary Clinton and her deep state connections with banks like Goldman Sachs and announced that once in office he would “drain the swamp” of special interests in Washington.

He also made bold accusations against the Federal Reserve, pointing out that the supposed “economic recovery” and the stock market rally was a fraud; a bubble created through stimulus and near zero interest rates that he didn't want to inherit. Trump was yet another pure white knight ready to expose and do battle with the globalist dragon.

As many liberty activists are well aware by now, Trump is the furthest thing from an anti-globalist. Like Carter and Reagan, Trump swiftly loaded his cabinet with elites from the Council on Foreign Relations, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc. His background was also not so pure; Trump had in fact been bought a couple decades in advance by the Rothschild banking family. Rothschild agent Wilber Ross was the man who brokered the deal to bail Trump out of his massive debts in multiple properties in Atlantic City, saving Trumps fortune and his image. Today, Wilber Ross is Trump's commerce secretary.

Trump also completely shifted his position on the economy, taking full credit for the stock market bubble as well as the fake GDP numbers and fake unemployment numbers he had attacked during his campaign. Trump has now completely tied his administration to the Everything Bubble – a bubble that has been popped and is now deflating into a hard recession.

Trump's theatrical character is different from Carter and Reagan in a couple of ways. First, in the Carter era, the public had a wider trust of the mainstream media, and so, Carter was presented as a media darling. Today, the majority of the public has a severe distaste of the media, and so, Trump was presented as their enemy; a thorn in their side. The media attacks on Trump only garnered him MORE attention and favor with conservatives and independents.

Second, Trump's acting role as an anti-globlist in the new world order screenplay is far more important to the elites than Carter or Reagan. Trump is meant to become a symbol of ALL anti-globalism, a nexus point and representative of sovereignty activism. He is meant to co-opt the entire liberty movement, and then sink it into oblivion. In other words, as the economy crumbles around Trump, conservatives and liberty proponents are made guilty by association.

Trump serves the elites by pretending to be starkly anti-establishment while at the same time taking credit for their economic works, not to mention the blame for the collapse of the bubble the establishment created.

But what happens after Trump? Who is next in line to take the lead role in the globalist theater for the American masses? Again, it's important to remember that the elites are not very imaginative, but they do have a lot of practice with tried and true tactics. They will present us with a candidate that is decidedly anti-Trump, but who also continues certain projects that Trump started.

Enter Elizabeth Warren...

Warren is yet another candidate that is being groomed as "unaffiliated" with the elites. Her image as the “daughter of a janitor” from the American midwest who went on to succeed as a woman in a “man's world” is heavily pushed in the media. But here is why I think Warren is the most likely political anti-thesis to Trump and the most likely Democratic candidate; the screenplay essentially writes itself...

Consider this – Warren grows up in a lower middle class family in Oklahoma, the daughter of a lowly service worker. Trump grows up rich, the son of a real estate tycoon who inherits a fortune.

Trump is a billionaire businessman and member of the 1% whose economic policies and tax cuts have consistently favored corporations and stock markets over the middle class. Warren claims she is a “capitalist”, but wants restrictions on stock market buybacks and Wall Street in general, accusing it of being nothing more than a money generator for the super wealthy.

Trump has faced bankruptcy on numerous occasions and his administration sits at the doorstep of the highest national, consumer and corporate debt levels in American history. Warren's background is in bankruptcy and bankruptcy law.

Trump has taken full credit for the economic bubble and boasts about his influence over markets regularly while completely ignoring the crash in fundamentals as well as his own warnings in 2016. Warren is the ONLY democratic candidate so far to predict an economic crash in the near term.

The differences in image are important here, but there are also some similarities between Trump and Warren in terms of policy.

Trump's economic policies demand ever lower interest rates and higher levels of central bank stimulus in order to work. He won't get exactly what he wants, but he is demanding endless central bank intervention all the same.  Elizabeth Warren is a proponent of Neoclassical Economics, which is closely tied to Keynesian economics. Warren was also on the oversight committee for the TARP bailout, and can claim that she's intimately familiar with monetary stimulus measures. Real QE4 and near zero interest rates (not just repo purchases) would be more likely under Warren, after the “Trump collapse”.  In fact, it is likely that Warren would demand and get MMT (modern monetary theory) policies passed.

Trump has instituted aggressive tariff measures against China and the trade war continues unabated so far.  Warren also wants to continue hard-line policies against China, while at the same time blaming Trump for starting the conflict in the first place.

Finally, like Trump, Warren has long been a hawk in support of Israel and it is likely that US troops will be staying in the Middle East for many years to come if she is elected.  She will criticize certain aspects of Israel's Palestinian policy to appeal to the Democratic base.  But, like Trump, her actions will not match her rhetoric.

The setup of this story is almost too perfect. Midwestern middle class girl and self made professional takes on a boastful arrogant billionaire and the 1%. Democrat voters love this kind of garbage. But it doesn't stop there...

Warren's attacks on billionaires are gaining extreme media attention, and the media loves it. Her latest ad campaign criticized four rich guys by name, including Leon Cooperman, the former Ameritrade CEO Joe Ricketts, the former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and the investor Peter Thiel. Some of these men have responded publicly and angrily, and so another great farce of a wrestling match begins and propels another supposedly anti-establishment candidate into stardom.

But here's the thing – Warren's wealth tax is not so anti-establishment. Elites like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates have been openly calling for higher taxes on the super-rich.  In tandem with the wealth tax, her climate change position is seen as a shot across the bow of oil companies and the financial power structure.  Yet, her policies are almost exactly in line with the Green New Deal and the UN's Agenda 2030, which the globalists greatly desire.

Warren's image as anti-establishment? It's as fake as Trump's image.

Warren has been featured multiple times in the magazine Foreign Affairs, the official magazine of the Council On Foreign Relations. On top of that they published her article "A Foreign Policy for All: Strengthening Democracy - at Home and Abroad”. For those that are unaware, the CFR is the premier globalist organization and its membership roster is saturated with many of the billionaire elites Warren claims to stand against. Yet, she has courted Foreign Affairs many times and they have written about her favorably.

Another interesting little fact is that the CFR does not publish articles by presidential candidates often. In fact, candidates that do get their articles published by Foreign Affairs tend to become president, or get a massive boost in their polling numbers and cash support. An example of this would be Richard Nixon, who suffered a stream of campaign failures until his article “Asia After Vietnam” was published in Foreign Affairs in October 1967.  A little over a year later he entered the White House. Another example would be Barack Obama, who published articles in Foreign Affairs in the early stages of his 2008 campaign. Getting an article accepted by the CFR seems to be a signal that the candidate in question is ready to be useful to the establishment.

Warren's explosion in the polls relative to candidates like Joe Biden started a few months after her article was published in the CFR magazine. So far she is the only candidate graced with an article in Foreign Affairs.

Does this mean that the elites want Warren over Donald Trump in 2020? Not necessarily. It is still too early to identify the trend and the signals for the next election. I believe next spring will bring clarity on the matter. However, the point remains that almost every candidate that is given serious consideration within the system is controlled or is seeking favor with the elites. The election process is highly moderated. Good people are not allowed to get though the net. Those that get close are ridiculed and then ignored until their campaigns fade into obscurity.

The candidates that serve the purposes of the elites get endless attention in the media, sometimes positive and sometimes negative, but they are never ignored. And, above all, the candidates that are most likely to be chosen as president are those that pretend to be anti-establishment. This is what sells with the American public, and the globalists know it. Warren is following this pattern, just as Trump did.

If anyone is still on the fence about what a farce the US government is, look at what bill congress just got together to pass:

https://www.sott.net/article/424321-So-much-for-the-Resistance-While-all-eyes-were-on-impeachment-hearing-House-quietly-re-authorizes-PATRIOT-Act

While the impeachment kabuki turned people's eyes away, this abomination of a bill got renewed.

(BTW: Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh had a hand in writing this thing. If the Dems really wanted him gone, all they had to do was cite this fact and the people would have been appeased...but no, he was instead made a sympathetic figure by the Blaisey-Ford rape fiasco during his approval hearings, and not a peep was heard about his role with the Bush administration.)

In case anyone wonders: yes, this bill gives the very same president that the Dems are supposedly trying to remove from office expanded powers to surveil us all.

QE4 right here right now
written by Oboe , November 20, 2019

We've got "real" QE4 alright. Right now.

They are directly monetizing the debt.

https://www.peakprosperity.com/the-federal-reserve-is-directly-monetizing-us-debt/

Well, technically there was one whole day between the Treasury issuing $40 billion of bonds to a buyer(s) and the Fed buying the entire $40 billion off that buyer(s).

Technicals schmecnicals.

Must be nice to take a turn on that trade. Can I have a job?

@Oboe

Not really. QE is direct asset purchases without collateral. Repo purchases require collateral for up to one month, then the debt collection starts. The TARP bailouts alone were $16 trillion. The current repo purchases by the fed are a drop in the ocean by comparison.

Absolutely true - every word
written by blondie , November 21, 2019

And I would add; the "presidency", is nothing NOTHING but a puppet position. The CFR, Group of 30, Bilderbergs, Wall St, MIC, etc., totally run every "policy decision" coming from the White House. The Presidency is the lead role in a Kabuki Theater. It exists for two reasons 1) to distract the sheeple into thinking that they have an elected leader, and, 2) to satisfy the immense egos of a pre-selected group of power insatiable psychopaths, who will do ANYTHING to get their names recorded in history. Oh, and who love to send fresh innocents to an early death. The Demons took 100% control when they splattered JFK's brains.

Branden- this is one of the damn best articles I've seen. I think a lot of people know down deep this is what IS IS! But a lot of people just don't want to accept it because it's too ugly to think their country is gone. OH MY, you might say what can I do. U can do a hell of a lot. You know right now with basic knowledge that Trump IS the swamp! And U should know right they will ban all ARs, AKs, etc. So if you don't own one make an effort to get one this coming Black Friday Sale. Also, if you are really serious and want to screw the swamp, buy physical silver until the cows come home. Also, don't forget about those wonderful ammo stocking stuffers! Take action and take it now.

These are direct purchases
written by Oboe , November 21, 2019

Oh yes, I agree that the repo facility is not QE, as is often misreported, but completely aside from the repo facility there is $60 billion a month of actual Treasury purchases, which aren't unwound the next day like repos are.

https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20191011a.htm

They say this will last until at least into the second quarter of 2020 but obviously nothing the Fed said can be believed.

By Q2 of 2020 the Fed's balance sheet will be back up to $4.2 trillion or more. From there I fully expect the Fed to continue the program and actually increase the amounts because things will be running away from them by then and they will need increasingly higher doses just to stand still.

They will claim they tried to help but we all know the real damage was done with those 8 rate rises and the $600 billion of quantitative tightening.

The treasury purchases ARE the collateral, in most cases, provided by corporations that are looking for overnight loans, or one month loans, as the case may be.

This was a Treasury auction
written by Oboe , November 21, 2019

But this was a Treasury auction. This is how blatantly the Fed is monetizing the debt. It was expressly forbidden in the 1913 Federal Reserve Act for the Fed to buy bonds from the Treasury. (Reason being because the Fed would literally be creating money out of thin air and "lending" it to the government, which would be an unsound way to run monetary policy to say the least because it would have to be repaid out of taxes. Roll on to 2019......)

The $40 billion was a treasury auction and was purchased by one (or more) of the Fed's 24 primary dealers - who are the only institutions allowed to bid for new issues at auction.

From the article ....

https://www.peakprosperity.com/the-federal-reserve-is-directly-monetizing-us-debt/

"On October 31st, 2019 the Treasury Department held an auction for a series of 8-week T-bills with the CUSIP number 912796WL9."

The money changed hands on 5th November. [From the article]

"November 5th, 2019 those T-bills were “issued”, meaning that was the actual date that they were to become active. "

And then STILL on 5th November, the Fed bought them from whichever of the lucky 24 Primary dealers did this trade.

[From the article]

"Looking at the Federal Reserve’s website........
There we find that very same T-bill with the CUSIP 912796WL9 showing up as having been purchased by the Fed Nov 5, 2019 — the very date of its issuance:"

Whichever bank(s) sat in the middle of this farce bought $40 billion from the treasury and flipped it the same day by selling it to the Fed. Even if you only earn a single basis point on the deal that would be $400k.

Nice work if you can get it.

To sum up the economic effects of this round trip:

- the Fed balance sheet grows $40 billion (that they created out of thin air)

- Primary dealer(s) - flat (apart from the $400k for flipping the bonds), but

- the US government has $40 billion in actual cash which it spends on welfare/warfare and the deficit balloons to the sky.

Which means the Fed is directly monetizing the debt - something the 1913 Act specifically prohibited.

Interesting fact - the 1913 Federal Reserve Act also contained the concept of the debt ceiling.

I wonder why !



Brandon Smith

written by Brandon Smith , November 21, 2019

@Oboe

The vast majority of T-bill purchases are being made through the repo, not direct.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-fed-adds-102-14-billion-to-markets-11572966654

Also, again, the purchases are a drop in the ocean compared to the TARP bailout. So, we're not at QE yet, but we'll probably be there AFTER the next election.

the next WH Caretaker will be...
written by BRF , November 21, 2019

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that the identity of who the next President of the USA will be is already 85% decided. I think Trump will again be it as the transformative changes that will be taking place over the near mid term seem to indicate that a Warren would supposedly be against such measures as a Central Bank crypto currency and distributed ledger tech and payments system as a banker owned one currency to rule them all; or nation state currencies becoming little more than internal obsolete and arcane measures of debt.

Hong Kong Stocks collapse after Riots Stop
written by Sum Ting More , November 21, 2019

While TRUMP vs Warren is great circus(&bread), the USA just 100% voted to sanction Hong-Kong for 'human rights abuse', funny because it was engineered by USA, now the blowback has begun, which means the USA will have to turn up the Trump-Warrn Show.
...

Why Hong Kong stocks like "ArtGo" are dropping to zero.

This deal is very complicated. Let’s do a timeline.

1.) Last wednesday, say Nov 15, CCP had all HSBC accounts tied to the hk-protests frozen. This why the protests went into panic and weekend, and burn’t this themselves out by monday ( no more free money )

2.) Now the people who funded these accounts are about 1/2 a dozen HK tycoons, associated with these stocks mentioned. This week their accounts ( personal ) were frozen by CCP.

3.) Now the SHTF in HK, because the tycoons are in a panic ‘The Kids’ ain’t getting anymore pay-days ( this went on for almost 6 months ), the CCP just watched and learned who was funding who was training ( USA State Dept )

So, now we have what we have, in time the CCP will go to the UN and show proof of USA training ( molotov cocktails and how throw them ). The HK tycoons if they didn’t already make it to Singapore ( door not shut yet, but will be soon ), are going to be re-educated, probably in the war west of China.

Expect in the coming weeks lots of HK stocks to implode, as founders and CEOS, … just dissapear, but remember its not the people its the complete FREEZING of all their accounts that hurts.

I don't see any indication that Warren would be against a one world currency. In fact, if it's tied in with the Green New Deal as it is with UN Agenda 2030, then she'll definitely support it.

The UN has been calling for a global "wealth tax" on billionaires since at least 2011. Warren's wealth tax proposal is only a copy of the UN's idea. She is right in line with the globalists:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCzXKcelrjg

Also, if fundamentals continue to collapse then Trump will be out in 2020, especially if stocks crash as well.

A distraction. Bloomberg has never had favor with the majority of Democrats. Just look at what the leftist Atlantic Magazine had to say about Bloomberg the last time he thought he might run for office:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/10/stop-trying-to-make-bloomberg-happen/411514/

Nobody likes him. Dems like him even less than Hillary Clinton. Leftists don't want to run a rich white guy against Trump; they would see it as hypocritical and contrary to their SJW ideology. They want to run a woman most of all, because they already had a black president, and they are still seeking to cover the pie chart of "oppressed people". This is how Dems think.
