How America Was Being SYSTEMATICALLY Overthrown In 12 Steps…Until Trump

Overthrowing America in Twelve Steps

By the Anonymous Patriot
The Millennium Report Exclusive

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time,
with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”   

— Thomas Jefferson                                                                     
For the last one hundred years, transnational interests have attempted to overthrow America for economic gain and political control. Starting in 1913 and continuing until today, there have been a series of steps taken to continually undermine American freedoms and fleece the wealth of our nation. The largest corporations in history have been fighting this battle for American wealth and resources through banking wars, political wars, and outright war. Many banking families and warlord corporations have vied for the prize of America, and it seemed that the Bush/Clinton/Obama criminal family had sold out American freedoms and consolidated power in the White House and its CIA operatives both inside and outside of the government. Electing Hillary Clinton (and husband Bill) would have created a modern “economic monarchy” in America that would quickly sell every asset and resource in a fire sale that would have burnt down America and consumed the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Bill of Rights in flames.
You Gotta Know History to Understand Today
Ever since Pope Alexander VI declared that all lands west and south of any of the islands of the Azores should belong to Spain, a fierce battle began. America has been in a commerce war waged between Portuguese sailors working for German banking families, the Fuggers, Welsers and Warburgs, and their rivals in the British and Dutch East India Companies. These imperialistic corporations were created by the richest banking families in Hamburg, Amsterdam, and London to strip the East of its spices through any means necessary. 
Eventually, these corporations became more powerful than any nation at the time and had navies and armies that waged war in the name of mercantilism. The explorations of America were focused on finding spices, gold, silk, and an easier passage to the Indies.  These bankers, shareholders and imperialistic corporations came to participate in what was called, commerce with a sword.
The American Revolution was fought over the issue of which trading company would own the largest share of American commerce. British taxes levied over British East India Company tea was a breaking point for the Boston colonists who threw the tea in the Boston harbor. Britain, Spain, Germany, and France were vying for the spoils of the new continent and became deeply embroiled in the commerce of taxes, cotton, textiles, tobacco, sugar, and slaves. The British East India Company handled the trading of goods with the northern colonies while the Dutch East India Company provided goods and slaves to southern colonies. European nations fought for economic control of America also and were used as political tools by corporate interests.
Transnational banking families and corporations, who we can call “warlord bankers and corporate imperialists,” were in a war against American nationalism and self-rule. Britain and the warlord bankers offered to found banks in the colonies that would issue paper money, fiat currency, instead of using gold and silver coins. The many attempts to “loan” the American Continental Congress money for the impending war were spurned because of the entanglements that come with repaying interest on the original “war-loan.” In the end, the American Revolution was won, in part, because the colonists accepted a huge war-loan from Spain. 
Benjamin Franklin and many others were against accepting any loans and instead offered to create a land bank that would issue paper currency and handled the war-debt.  Franklin’s ideas were rejected and the beginning of American “national” banks took on the Spanish war-debt. Thus, the stage was set for the first step in the overthrow of America.
Step One – Creating the U.S. Federal Reserve
Eventually, after creating numerous U.S. national banks, the need for monetary stabilization led America to create the Federal Reserve System in 1913 with its twelve central banks that theoretically control U.S. economic policy. 

Unfortunately, the same warlord bankers and corporate imperialists were the initial investors in the Federal Reserve assuring that the U.S. Treasury debt would be held by the same people who hold the debt of most other nations through a central banking system. The same German and British bankers were deeply involved in the planning and funding of the Federal Reserve: the Rothschild banking family (originally a German family named Bauer), the Warburg banking family, Rothschild’s prior employee J. P. Morgan, the Rockefeller family (close associates of the Rothschild family). and a few other European banking families. 
From the beginning, these families knew that the Federal Reserve System, a private corporation, would own the debt from the initial infusion of investment capital and that the interest on those funds would continually grow and never be able to be fully repaid, thus compounding the debt and increasing its amount continually and creating economic slavery of the entire nation. This type of central bank capital investment is behind all 189 countries that use a central banking system in the world. This explains why America has a $20 trillion war-debt to a private corporation of warlord bankers who have no intention of letting American’s be economically free.
Translation:  Foreign control of the American economic system keeps Americans enslaved to the policies of warlord bankers and corporate imperialists.
Step Two – Creation of the Council on Foreign Relations
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), founded in 1921, is a United States nonprofit organization, publisher, and think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. It is headquartered in New York City, and 
hosted by the Roman Catholic Church. Its membership has included senior politicians, more than a dozen secretaries of stateCIA directors, bankers, lawyers, professors, and senior media figures. 
The CFR promotes globalizationfree trade, reducing financial regulations on transnational corporations, and economic consolidation into regional blocs such as NAFTA or the European Union, and develops policy recommendations that reflect these goals. The CFR meetings convene government officials, global business leaders and prominent members of the intelligence and foreign-policy community to discuss international issues. The CFR publishes the bi-monthly journal Foreign Affairs, and runs the David Rockefeller Studies Program, which influences foreign policy by making recommendations to the presidential administration and diplomatic community, testifying before Congress, interacting with the media, and publishing on foreign policy issues.
The CFR was modeled after the Royal Institute of International Affairs, commonly known as Chatham House. It is a non-profitnon-governmental organization based in London whose mission is to analyze and promote the understanding of major international issues and current affairs. It is a pseudo-secret organization but is still ranked the second most influential think tank in the world. 
Translation: British imperialists and international interests control US Foreign policy which always drives towards the clash of civilizations, war economies, and the destabilization of America.
Step Three – Creating the Exchange Stabilization Fund
The U.S. Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was established at the Treasury Department by a provision in the Gold Reserve Act as a response to Britain’s Exchange Equalization Account. The fund began operations in 1934, financed by the $2 billion in paper profit the government realized from raising the price of gold to $35 an ounce from $20. The act authorized the ESF to use its capital to deal in gold and foreign exchange to stabilize the exchange value of the dollar. The ESF, as originally designed, was part of the executive branch not subject to legislative oversight. 
Over time, the ESF became the sole director of U.S. economic policy from offices in the U.S. Treasury. The ESF eventually came to control the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. The ESF started printing paper money for the Treasury and giving it to the Fed to “do with as it pleased” and this created our $20 trillion debt. The Federal Reserve and its twelve central banks have never been audited. The shareholders of the Fed still make huge profits each year while the U.S. debt rises and U.S. taxpayers line the pockets of foreign warlord bankers.
Translation:  The U.S. currency, stock markets, commodity markets, gold and silver prices, and interest rates are all completely rigged by the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Step Four – Joining the United Nations
The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the League of Nations, the organization was established on October 24, 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another global conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in ManhattanNew York City, and has extraterritoriality. Other main offices are situated in GenevaNairobi, and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.
The International Monetary Fund is a United Nation international organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. The IMF was formed in 1944 at the Bretton Woods Conference primarily by the ideas of Harry Dexter White who was later found to be a Russian spy. It came into formal existence in 1945 with 29 member countries and the goal of reconstructing the international payment system. Countries contribute funds to a pool through a quota system from which countries experiencing balance of payments problems can borrow money. As of 2016, the IMF had about $668 billion in the fund. 
The Bretton Woods Conference, formally known as the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, was the gathering of 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations in Bretton WoodsNew Hampshire to regulate the international monetary and financial order after the conclusion of World War II.
The IMF is an international gambling casino for nations. It is a tool of the UN to channel world economics through one source that makes sure that the largest donor nations remain in control. The IMF became a new mechanism for making “war loans” that could keep armed conflicts and economic war-games raging around the planet. The IMF is the tool of “economic development” that actually represents international corporation’s interests in developing countries. Loans are made to countries so that money is available to hire U.S. corporations to move in and fleece resources and assets leaving the country with more debt than they had to begin with.
The IMF does not look out for the interests of Americas, just American corporations and their international associates. It is highly likely that IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) will become an international currency and that the IMF itself will become the basis for a global economic system in contradistinction to US currency. The IMF serves multi-national corporations and banks instead of America, even though America pays more money into the IMF than any other country. Americans get absolutely nothing from the IMF except continued erosion of the U.S. dollar and the U.S. economy.
Translation:  Americans surrendered political and economic national sovereignty when we joined the United Nations. 
Step Five – The Birth of the Bush Criminal Family
In 1926, Prescott Bush became vice president of W.A. Harriman and Company, an investment firm, later known as Brown Brothers, Harriman. While Prescott Bush was a director of Union Banking Corp., a New York investment bank owned by a bank controlled by the Thyssen family, it was seized by the federal government because it helped bankroll Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. Fritz Thyssen was an early financial supporter of Hitler, whose National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) Mr. Thyssen believed was preferable to communism. Union Banking was owned by a Dutch bank, Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaardt N.V., which was “closely affiliated” with the German conglomerate, United Steel Works. The Dutch bank and the steel firm were part of the business and financial empire of Thyssen. 
Union Banking was seized by the government in October 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act.  Bush’s position with Union Banking didn’t stop him from later being elected to the Senate from Connecticut in 1952.
George H. W. Bush Leads CIA
John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza in DallasTexas. Many believe that George H. W. Bush was in charge of the CIA that day and that the CIA was responsible for President Kennedy’s death. Below we see a picture of George H. W. Bush standing on the steps of the Book Depository Building on the day of the assassination. 
The October Surprise
The October Surprise refers to a plot to influence the outcome of the 1980 United States presidential election, contested between incumbent president Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. One of the leading national issues during that year was the release of 52 Americans being held hostage in Iran. Reagan won the election. On the day of his inauguration—in fact, 20 minutes after he concluded his inaugural address—Iran announced the release of the hostages. The timing gave rise to an allegation that representatives of Reagan’s presidential campaign had conspired with Iran to delay the release until after the election to thwart President Carter from pulling off an “October surprise.”  The Reagan Administration rewarded Iran for its participation in the plot by supplying Iran with weapons via Israel and by unblocking Iranian government monetary assets in U.S. banks. It is easy to smell the foul works of George Bush behind these machinations.
On March 30, 1981, a shooting occurred at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington D.C., which targeted Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States. While leaving a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley, Jr., a close personal friend of the Bush family. 

After Reagan was shot, an Executive Order was signed putting Vice President George H. W. Bush in charge of U.S. foreign policy, which is the domain of the CIA.
 
Bush was also appointed foreign affairs “crisis manager” by executive order. After that, Bush could act without worry of detection or blame for his continued CIA dominance of international affairs. This began the Bush CIA White House that continues even today.  Below we see a list of the handiwork of Bush while he was Vice President.
The Iran Contra Scandal

 “If the American people ever find out what we have done,
they will chase us down the streets and lynch us.”
   

—  George H. W. Bush to White House correspondent Sarah McClendon
The Iran–Contra scandal occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo. They hoped, thereby, to fund the Contras in Nicaragua while at the same time negotiating the release of several U.S. hostages. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.
The scandal began as an operation to free the seven American hostages being held in Lebanon by Hezbollah, a paramilitary group with Iranian ties. It was planned that Israel would ship weapons to Iran, and then the United States would resupply Israel and receive the Israeli payment. The Iranian recipients promised to do everything in their power to achieve the release of the U.S. hostages. Large modifications to the plan were devised by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council in late 1985, in which a portion of the proceeds from the weapon sales was diverted to fund anti-Sandinista, or Contras, in Nicaragua. George H. W. Bush was vice-president at the time of the affair and in charge of foreign affairs.
On March 4, 1987, Reagan said that “what began as a strategic opening to Iran deteriorated, in its implementation, into trading arms for hostages.”
Iran Contra Scandal Indictments

Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Defense, was indicted on two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. Weinberger received a pardon from George H. W. Bush

Robert C. McFarlane, National Security Adviser, convicted of withholding evidence, but after a plea bargain was given two years probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush.

Elliott Abrams, Assistant Secretary of State, convicted of withholding evidence, but after a plea bargain was given two years’ probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush.

Alan D. Fiers, Chief of the CIA’s Central American Task Force, convicted of withholding evidence and sentenced to one year probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush.
Clair George, Chief of Covert Ops-CIA, convicted on two charges of perjury, but pardoned by President George H. W. Bush before sentencing. 
Oliver North, member of the National Security Council convicted of accepting an illegal gratuity, obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and destruction of documents, but the ruling was overturned since he had been granted immunity.
John Poindexter, National Security Advisor, was convicted of five counts of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury, defrauding the government, and the alteration and destruction of evidence. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush.
Duane Clarridge, ex-CIA senior official, he was indicted in November 1991 on seven counts of perjury and false statements relating to a 1985 arms shipment to Iran. Pardoned before trial by President George H. W. Bush.

Richard V. Secord, former Air Force major general, was involved in arms transfers to Iran and diversion of funds to Contras and making false statements to Congress. Sentenced to two years’ probation. As part of his plea bargain, Secord agreed to provide further truthful testimony in exchange for the dismissal of remaining criminal charges against him. 
Translation: The birth of the Bush Criminal Family comes from illegal war-mongering.  The Bush Criminal Family has no regard for the rule of law and will use government authority to enrich their personal lust for power and money. 
Step Six – Bush’s 911 False Flag
The 911 Commission Investigation was a complete farce run by Robert Mueller, the same person who ran the investigation on the BCCI scandal (CIA bank), the Iran-Contra criminal investigation, and the Noriega-CIA drug investigation. The Commissioners of the Investigation of 911 followed no leads, investigated no banks or brokers and the case was closed without looking at any evidence, with 28 pages of sealed testimony by Bush and Cheney remaining secret. In the wake of the total destruction of five buildings in the World Trade Center complex by the supposed collision of two airplanes, over 15 investigations into a variety of economic terrorism came to a halt. The culprits of 911 have not been caught and the real motives have been displaced on to patsy characters and groups, to name a few, Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Linden, radical Islamic terrorism, Iraq and Saddam Hussein.
These 15 pending investigations included: the theft of national treasuries of Russia and the Philippines; the use of heroin sales proceeds to fund covert intelligence operations in Azerbaijan, Chechnya, Georgia, Afghanistan, Kosovo, etc.; illegal bribes to various Central Asian oligarchs from major corporate financial contributors to the Bush campaigns, illegal gold and money laundering operations; and $280 billion in fraudulent Brady Bonds issued to Russian criminal oligarchs. After 911, the FBI, ONI, SEC, and all other government agencies now grouped under Homeland Security focused much of their efforts on “terrorism” and dropped all 15 investigations.
Conveniently for the culprits being investigated, the two WTC airplane strikes were direct hits on the largest traders of U.S. Securities, which were the only trades that were made on the morning of 911. The FBI center holding the records of the investigations exploded before the first plane struck. Rescue teams had already reached the FBI offices before the first plane struck. Towers 7, 4, and 6 all exploded and the records in those towers were also destroyed. The Pentagon’s missing $2.3 trillion that Rumsfeld announced the day before can be traced to some of these investigations. There was much to be lost by many bankers, brokers, and CIA politicians and operatives in those investigations.
It appears that contrary to what the U.S. Government, under the guidance of George W. Bush, Jr., has convinced the public, terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, but not for the purpose of jihad. These unknown terrorists most likely were contract operatives working under the guidance of the Mossad and rogue U.S. intelligence operatives. Their objective was to bring to an end numerous U.S. investigations into secret Swiss bank accounts and Deutsche Bank transactions which would have exposed numerous criminal activities by the Russian mafia and the George Bush Sr.’s intelligence operations going back as far as 1991.
Like the Iran Contra scandal of the 1980’s, George Bush Sr. used a wide array of illegal activities to fund intelligence operations for a foreign policy he deemed appropriate, and decided to pursue, without Congressional confirmation, and in violation of the law. His administration’s foreign policies were nothing more than illegal activities developed to take over the Central Asian and Russian oil and gas fields of the former Soviet Union through use of privately funded armies and financial fraud – just as he had illegally funded covert activities to promote foreign policy in Iran and Nicaragua. Illegal activities also included Bush’s payoffs to Russian oligarchs with ten-year Brady Bonds to ensure the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
The Bush Criminal Family has been propelled into history by “dark ops” across the globe, funded by the initial theft of the World War II Asian treasuries recovered by Ferdinand Marcos, and subsidized by criminal profits from weapons for drugs for cash. The involvement of the Bush apparatus in facilitating this trade between crime organizations, terrorist organizations, and mainstream political parties is seen in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Albania, Columbia, Nicaragua, to mention the obvious examples. Using these funds, they have destabilized these same areas for the sake of controlling oil, while their Russian/Israeli mafia partners reap the gold and diamond mineral wealth. This type of illegal activity became standard operating procedure for Bush Sr. and subsequently Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama.
Translation:  The false flag attacks of 911 were orchestrated by Bush Sr. through Dick Chaney to cover their tracks.
Step Seven – Enacting of the USA Patriot Act
The US Patriot Act is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001 in response to the attacks of 911. The full title is “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.”
The Patriot Act was established after the 911 and its main point was to protect people from terrorism. It allows FBI agents to search personal information of people, to read their emails, and listen to their private phone calls.
It breaches the First Amendment, which declares our rights to freedom expression, speech and information. 
The Patriot Act allows the federal government to take away the property of a “supposed” terrorist without notice or the agreement of the judge. The FBI can search private records within financial institutions and look into personal records such as medical, phone, internet, student or library records. Federal agents do not need to have or show any reasons that a person is engaged in “supposed” criminal or political activity to search the person. The FBI does not need to prove any criminal charges against her/him to deny U.S. Civil Liberties protected by the U.S. Constitution. Many of the provisions of the Bill of Rights were supplanted by the Patriot Act. 
President Carter has denounced the Patriot Act for authorizing federal agents “to search people’s homes and businesses secretly, to confiscate property without any deadline or without giving notice that the intrusion had taken place, and to collect without notice personal information on American citizens including their medical histories, books checked out of libraries, and goods they purchase.” 
“What the American People are witnessing now with this new legislation (USA Freedom Act – the newly edited Patriot Act) is the further development of an American Police State into a Military Dictatorship, a process that was started by the so-called USA Patriot Act in 2001,” says Professor Francis Boyle, the constitutional law authority at the University of Illinois, Champaign.  “If it is enacted into law, America will lose all pretense of having our military subjected to the control of democratically elected civilian leaders as originally envisioned and required by the Constitution.” 
Translation:  The Patriot Act (USA Freedom Act) abolished the rights and protections to citizens by undermining the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Step Eight – Financial Legislation for Warlord Bankers
The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, is an act of the 106th United States Congress (1999–2001). It repealed part of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933, removing barriers in the market
among banking companies, securities companies and insurance companies that prohibited any one institution from acting as any combination of an investment bank, a commercial bank, and an insurance company. With the bipartisan passage of the GrammLeachBliley Act, commercial banks, investment banks, securities firms, and insurance companies were allowed to consolidate. 

Furthermore, it failed to give to the SEC or any other financial regulatory agency the authority to regulate large investment bank holding companies. The legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, commonly referred to as a bailout of the U.S. financial system, was a law enacted in response to the subprime mortgage crisis authorizing the United States Secretary of the Treasury to spend up to $700 billion to purchase distressed assets, especially mortgage-backed securities, and supply cash directly to banks. The funds for purchase of distressed assets were mostly redirected to inject capital into banks and other financial institutions while the Treasury continued to examine the usefulness of targeted asset purchases. Both foreign and domestic banks are included in the program. The Act was proposed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson during the global financial crisis of 2008 and signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008.
Translation: These actions and laws amounted to a total sell-out of American “free markets” to warlord bankers and corporate imperialists who then became “too big to fail.”

Step Nine – Broadening the National Defense Authorization Act
“The 2012 NDAA is a bold and dangerous attempt to establish martial law in America.”  Rand Paul
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a United States federal law specifying the budget, expenditures, and other provisions of the United States Department of Defense. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 makes it legal to broadcast propaganda within America that usually is used against our “enemies.”  US citizens are now treated like enemy combatants whose “perception” must be managed to come in line with presidential “National Security” policies.  The Department of Defense may now broadcast propaganda with the approval and authority of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) both internationally and domestically.  (See our article on Legal Propaganda for more details.) 
Any presidential policy may be accompanied by broadcasts that use subliminal programming as a form of brain-washing. These mechanisms that squelch dissent have been used since the Reagan administration to shape public opinion to support administrative policies. Wars require domestic support and these “black ops” programs started to use the “psy-ops” tools of the military. DARPA, the research and development arm of the military, has created many tools to control the enemy through media that shapes public perception. It is called “perception management” and has been used legally in advertising since the late seventies and also in electronic warfare throughout the world to brain-wash our enemies and shape their perception and opinion of America.
From Amendment 114 of the NDAA 2012: “The Secretary and the Broadcasting Board of Governors are authorized to use funds appropriated or otherwise made available for public diplomacy information programs to provide for the preparation, dissemination, and use of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, its people, and its policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, the Internet, and other information media, including social media, and through information centers, instructors, and other direct or indirect means of communication. It is time to liberate the authority of the US government to broadcast American produced foreign propaganda in the U.S.”
The amendment empowers the State Department and Pentagon to utilize all forms of media against the American public for the sake of coercing US citizens to believe whatever version of the truth the US government wants them to believe. All oversight is removed with Amendment 114 regardless of whether the information disseminated is truthful, partially truthful or completely false.
Four billion dollars per year is spent by the Pentagon on propaganda aimed at the American public. The Pentagon uses fake accounts on social media sites to purvey false information, harass users and enact perception management to influence Americans. Sophisticated software allows the military to engage in online conversations with coordinated answers, blog comments and instant messaging remarks that are solely meant to spread pro-American propaganda.
The Broadcasting Board of Governors allows a new perception management system called Information Operations (IO), which is defined as “the integrated employment of electronic warfare (EW), computer network operations (CNO), psychological operations (PSYOP), military deception (MILDEC), and operations security (OPSEC), in concert with specified supporting and related capabilities, to influence, disrupt, corrupt or usurp adversarial human and automated decision making while protecting our own.”
Information Operations activities are undertaken to shape the essential narrative of a conflict or situation and thus affect the attitudes and behaviors of the targeted audience and equates descriptions of combat operations with standard marketing strategies. With the NDAA 2012 in its current form, the State Department and Pentagon can go beyond manipulating mainstream media outlets and directly disseminate campaigns of misinformation to the American public. Major parts of the legislation are based on the assumption that key legal protections for individuals are incompatible with the requirements of “national security.” 
The 2013 NDAA overturned a 64-year ban on the domestic dissemination of propaganda which is described as public diplomacy information. It preaches freedom of the press abroad while practicing censorship at home. The resources and personnel who focus on talking about America overseas are diverted in favor of domestic perception management. There are no checks and balances. No one knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false.
According to the American Civil Liberties Union, NDAA 2014 authorizes presidents “to order the military to pick up and imprison people, including U.S. citizens, without charging them or putting them on trial.  The ACLU charges the provisions of NDAA “were negotiated by a small group of members of Congress, in secret, and without proper congressional review and, are inconsistent with fundamental American values embodied in the Constitution. Our fundamental freedoms are on the line.”
In the National Defense Authorization Act of 2016, Obama skirts around the Constitution by having Sections 1021 and 1022, authorize “indefinite military detention, without charge or without trial, any person, including an American citizen”, and applies the “Laws of War,” to U.S. soil, making the United States legally a battlefield. Obama claimed he would develop “an appropriate legal regime” to permanently detain people prior to having committed any crime. The idea of these detentions would be to prevent any individual from committing a “possible future crime.” Obama says that he might detain someone up to ten years before they might commit a crime. The NDAA removes all of the rights guaranteed under the US Bill of Rights.
The Countering Foreign Disinformation and Propaganda Act of 2016, initially entitled the Countering Information Warfare Act, essentially created another level on top of the Broadcasting Board of Governors that has complete control of every type of broadcast in America.  Some call this new governmental mechanism of scrubbing all American broadcasts, the “Ministry of Truth.”  In a post-truth age, we call it Main Stream Media.
Translation: Obama has declared all Americans to be enemies until proven otherwise and thus subject to military attacks without recourse to US laws. 

Step Ten – George Soros Conducts CIA Economic Terrorism
“It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.”   George Soros, The Independent, 1993
George Soros has been behind destabilizing national currencies and markets in England, China, Thailand, Burma, Hungary, France, Russia, USSR, and many other countries.  No country in the world is safe from Soros who is a wanted criminal in numerous countries and yet he is allowed to give $6 billion to the Democratic National Committee and be the largest donor to the Clinton and Sanders campaigns. Soros owns the DNC and the DNC leaks demonstrate that Hillary and the Democratic Party take their orders from Soros.
Soros uses the old trick of the Jesuits to first buy his way into the hearts of his enemies while establishing “influence” organizations that preach the Socialist philosophy of Soros’s “Open Society.” Infiltrate, educate and control are the Jesuit steps, also called covert penetration, brainwashing, and propagandizing. Soros has a vast network of financial and social intelligence that is similar to the CIA’s but even more insidious because the espionage and subversion drives his “economic terrorism” that has vampirized nations and driven millions into poverty. 
It seems that Soros is only content when he is attacking markets for his own personal gain, or fomenting decent in one of the 187 political activist organizations he backs in America. He has given over $4 billion world-wide since 2002 to these one-sided groups that work to destabilize nations. Soros removes politicians who stand in the way of him fleecing the assets of a country. He has removed numerous duly elected national leaders through the political actions of these organizations. 
Under the guise of Democracy, Soros infiltrates and destabilizes politicians he opposes and rakes in the assets during the chaos and economic confusion. He finds a weakness in the economic system of a country, and then leverages it until the country’s economy crashes. 
Even though Soros does not pay a single penny in taxes in America, he is considered one of the wealthiest people in the world. All of his operations run from off-shore accounts – even though he has an office in NYC. He was the original hedge fund manager who taught others the rules of gambling with markets for personal greed. Soros loves regime changes, as he and the CIA call it, especially if he personally takes the regime and its leader down. During the election of George Bush Jr. Soros said: “Removing President George W. Bush from office was the central focus of my life.” He gave $23.58 million to various groups dedicated to defeating Bush.  
Soros has donated a great deal of money to numerous “Open Society” organizations that are taking action to impeach Trump. Soros recently criticized Trump at the economic meetings in Davos. 
“He [Trump] stands for that other form of government, which is the opposite of an open society,” said Soros
To have Soros hate you and say that you are the opposite of his “Open Society” means that you are not a globalist and might have the economic health of America at heart.  Soros wants chaotic socialism and Trump wants Democracy based upon the Constitution and rule of U.S. laws. Soros believes his greed and delusions of grandeur are more important than America or any other country and its laws. Soros wants Trump deposed.
The real story is that Soros told the press many times that he had “taken care” of the election and Trump would lose. Trump’s unexpected win in November hurt Soros beyond money or ideology. Soros lost more than $1 billion in trades he made that would have benefited if the market went down. Instead, a month-long rally after the election cost Soros big-time and his attempt at crashing the U.S. markets failed.
Soros’s Seven Steps to Bring Down a Government
Let’s look at Soros’s own words from his books and articles that describe his tried and true system for taking down a country – or “regime change” as he calls it. (See our article on Soros’ Seven Steps for more information.)

Step One: Form a shadow government using humanitarian aid as cover.

Step Two: Control the airwaves. Fund existing radio and TV outlets and take control over them or start your own outlets.

Step Three: Destabilize the state, weaken the government and build an anti-government kind of feeling in the country. You exploit an economic crisis or take advantage of an existing crisis — pressure from the top and the bottom. This will allow you to weaken the government and build anti-government public sentiment.

Step Four: Sow unrest.

Step Five: Provoke an election crisis. You wait for an election and during the election, you cry voter fraud.

Step Six: Take power. You stage massive demonstrations, civil disobedience, sit-ins, general strikes and you encourage activism. You promote voter fraud and tell followers what to do through your radio and television stations. Incitement and violence are conducted at this stage.

Step Seven: Outlast your opponent.
As you can see, we are on Step Six with the recent “Women’s March” on Washington.  Soros controlled the march because the organizations who took part were principally funded by Soros and his Open Society Foundation.  It truly was a Soros March against Trump as the enacting of Step Six in his plan to oust Trump.
Soros Leads the Impeachment Attempts on Trump
One need not look too deeply to discover the two groups behind the movement to impeach Donald Trump are tied to billionaire George Soros. The organization that just filed a lawsuit challenging the Constitutionality of Trump’s presidency is financed by Soros’s Open Society Foundations.
The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a lawsuit claiming that Trump is in violation of a Constitutional clause banning government officials from accepting benefits from foreign nations. CREW, which does not publicize its donor list, has received financing from Soros’s Open Society Foundations. CREW has also been funded by the Soros-financed Tides Foundation. In August 2014, long-time Hillary Clinton ally David Brock, founder of the Soros-financed Media Matters for America progressive group, was elected chairman of CREW’s board. Brock departed the organization last December, but Politico reported that CREW is part of a network of groups for which the activist is attempting to raise $40 million to oust Trump. The campaign to impeach Trump is being led by two liberal advocacy groups – Free Speech for People and RootsAction, both of which are Soros-funded.
Step Eleven – The US Intelligence Community Dismantles America
Since the reign of Bush Sr., military intelligence has been “sold out,” quite literally, to corporate intelligence agencies. Before the restructuring of the U.S. Intelligence Community, the National Security Council (NSC), working with the National Security Agency (NSA), was the lead intelligence group that was only trumped by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in matters of “international security.”  The Bush/ Clinton/ Obama CIA White House continued to broaden international control of the U.S. Intelligence Community. Eventually, 850,000 corporate contractors would be granted Top Secret security clearance per year, even if they were also working for foreign nations that were our enemies. The U.S. Intelligence Community counted on contractors whose allegiance was to transnational corporatism, not U.S. interests.
There has been an erosion of American sovereignty by international intelligence corporations that is tantamount to an overthrow of our government by our very own U.S. Intelligence Community. Eventually, the Council on Foreign Relations came to direct both domestic and foreign policy and usurped the authority of the U.S. military’s prior control through the National Security Council (NSA).
The NSA is responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign and domestic intelligence and counterintelligence purposes. The NSA is concurrently charged with protection of U.S. government communications and information systems against penetration and network warfare. Although many of NSA’s programs rely on “passive” electronic collection, the agency is authorized to accomplish its mission through active clandestine means, among which are physically bugging electronic systems and engaging in sabotage through subversive software and cyberwarfare. The NSA has a co-located organization called the Central Security Service (CSS), which was created to facilitate cooperation between NSA and other US military cryptanalysis components. Additionally, the NSA Director simultaneously serves as the Commander of the United States Cyber Command and as Chief of the Central Security Service.
Originating as a unit to decipher coded communications in World War II, it was officially formed as the NSA by President Harry S. Truman in 1952. Since then, it has become one of the largest U.S. intelligence organizations in terms of personnel and budget, operating as part of the Department of Defense and now structured to report to the newly created Office of Director of National Intelligence, who coordinates all 17 US Intelligence agencies.
On May 26, 2009, President Barack Obama merged the White House staff supporting the Homeland Security Council (HSC) and the National Security Council into one National Security Staff (NSS). The HSC and NSC each continue to exist by statute as bodies supporting the President. The name of the staff organization was changed back to National Security Council Staff in 2014.
The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is the United States government cabinet-level official – subject to the authority, direction, and control of the President – required by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to: serve as head of the sixteen-member United States Intelligence Community, direct and oversee the
National Intelligence Program; and serve as an advisor, upon invitation, to the President and his executive offices of the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council about intelligence matters related to national security.
Obama placed control of all U.S. Intelligence agencies under one person who was a political appointment. James Clapper, who lied before the U.S. Congress on multiple occasions about NSA surveillance of Americans, is a good example of the integrity of the people who have been appointed to run this “shadow intelligence agency” for the Obama White House called the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. 
The Strategies of the U.S. Intelligence Community
The U.S. Intelligence Community shares its plans, which are principally created by the Council on Foreign Relations, with the world through public dissemination so that America’s future strategies are shared with the entire world including U.S. enemies.  The document below is the current “predictions and strategies” of U.S. Intelligence Community for the next five years. It is a document that any citizen can retrieve right now by opening the hyperlink.
This gross disregard for secrecy or “putting America first” is demonstrated by the existence of this report on Wikipedia. There are no secrets in the U.S. Intelligence Community; it has been dismantled and replaced by international corporate intelligence agencies.  The Bush/Clinton/ Obama strategies were almost complete and then Trump’s victory spoiled those plans.
Let’s look at the disturbing intelligence strategies that the Bush/Clinton/Obama CIA White House laid out as the downfall of America in the report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It only takes reading a few quotes from this document to see what would have happened if Hillary Clinton would have become president. It is obvious that Hillary took her “playbook” from this report.  Exact descriptions of her political planks are spelled out in the future plans of the combined 17 US intelligence agencies.
Global Trends / Paradox of Progress
A publication of the National Intelligence Council, January, 2017, NIC 2017-001 ISBN 978-0-16-093614-2 or www.dni.gov/nic/globaltrends
Prediction of the Use of a Nuclear Weapon
Orbits (regions) explore a future of tensions created by competing major powers seeking their own spheres of influence while attempting to maintain stability at home. It examines how the trends of rising nationalism, changing conflict patterns, emerging disruptive technologies, and decreasing global cooperation might combine to increase the risk of interstate conflict. This scenario emphasizes the policy choices ahead for governments that would reinforce stability and peace or further exacerbate tensions. It features a nuclear weapon used in anger, which turns out to concentrate global minds so that it does not happen again.
Translation: Once Hillary was elected she was going to drop a nuclear bomb on some country to continue the policy of maintaining global control by inciting war to destabilize nations and boost military spending.  The fulfillment of Henry Kissinger’s “Clash of Civilizations” was about to be enacted.
Use of Propaganda
Information technology remains the key enabler, and companies, advocacy groups, charities, and local governments prove nimbler than national governments in delivering services to sway populations in support of their agendas. Most national governments resist, but others cede some power to emerging networks.
Translation:  The U.S. should continue hiring private intelligence agencies to propagandize US citizens.
Migrants Bread Terrorism
The spread of ungoverned space, particularly during the past five years, created an environment conducive to extremism and encouraged the enlistment of thousands of volunteers eager to fight. Until some semblance of security is established, militancy will continue to breed. Second, today’s foreign fighters unless identified, de-radicalized, and reintegrated back into society are likely to become the recruiting pool for tomorrow’s violent non-state actors. Similarly, disaffected migrants, without better integration, education, and economic opportunity, could become an ideal recruiting pool for violent extremist groups.
Translation: “Ungoverned space” = No-fly zones.  No-fly zones imposed by Obama/Hillary created civil war and radicalized the migrants who were displaced by the bombing. 
Prediction of One World Government
To be clear, we expect the term “World Government” to remain seldom spoken aloud, even though two of what might be considered four “branches’ of such governance have been augmented in recent years—international courts and the rising bureaucracy of agencies like the World Trade Organization. Notably, these are the two entities that vest legal standing in nations and, to some degree, in corporations and NGOs, rather than in private persons. As yet, no major or substantial movement has gathered to press for the two missing branches—executive and a legislature—in part because those would require standing elections on the part of global citizens.
Translation:  America was one step away from becoming a subject of the United Nations in the New World Order – as predicted by George H. W. Bush.
Intelligence Agencies Peddle Post-truth and Post-factual
Competing silos of information and perspectives of truth and fact among proliferating influential actors are poised to complicate governments’ ability to generate compromise. A combination of factors, including growing distrust of formal institutions and the proliferation and polarization of media outlets, are driving some academics and political observers to describe the current era as one of ‘post-truth” or “post-factual” politics. This results in part from the growing number of individuals and agencies providing information to consumers. Whether this atmosphere continues, or people and political groups adjust to growing flows of communication and trend back toward more-balanced perspectives, will be crucial in coming years. 
As a result of this “post-factual” trend, individuals appear more likely to base their political views more on feelings than on fact and to seek out information that supports their opinions. Conflicting information actually reinforces views that the new information is from a biased or hostile source and further polarizes groups. To interpret the deluge of details, people turn to leaders who think like they do and trust them to interpret the ‘truth.’
 
Translation:  Fake News and intelligence leaks are planned by the US Intelligence Community.
MSM is in a War with Social Media
Social media has radically lowered the transaction costs of mobilizing populations, but some social scientists worry that virtual activism will replace more concrete political participation—including voting—diluting the quality of the political process. Worse, some worry that new technologies fracture and polarize populations; social media, in particular, typically passes information and ideas through narrow, existing networks to members who self-select, rather than traditional forms of media, which project ideas to a broader audience. This selective dissemination and receipt of information contribute to reinforcement and confirmation bias, segregation, and polarization.
Translation: The Alternative Media has upset the plans of the Intelligence Community to control information.  There truly is a war of information going on.
Prediction of Trump
Liberalism is likely to remain the benchmark model for economies and politics over the coming decades, but it will face stronger competition and demands from publics to address its shortfalls. Many developing countries will strive for modernization more or less along Western lines, but the allure of liberalism has taken some strong hits over the years as political polarization, financial volatility, and economic inequality in western countries have stoked populism and caused doubts about the price of political and economic openness
Governments having trouble meeting the needs of their citizens will be strongly tempted to turn to nationalism while publics fearful of loss of jobs to immigrants or economic hardship, are likely to be increasingly receptive to more exclusive ideologies and identities.
Translation:  It seems that Trump’s team is completely aware of this document and used its indicators as tools to win the election.
Prediction of Sanders
It is not clear that economic ideologies, such as socialism and neoliberalism, which had dominated much of the 20th Century until challenged by the collapse of communism and the 2008 financial crisis, will remain relevant in a world in which both low-growth and high levels of inequality dominate political agendas. Other forms of political thought remain viable alternatives —in particular, nationalism, political liberalism, and religiously-based political thought.
Translation:  The far left needed to go even more far left into socialism and neoliberalism and merge with the Democratic Party.
Trump Toppled Globalism Expansion
Islands investigates a restructuring of the global economy that leads to long periods of slow or no growth, challenging both traditional models of economic prosperity and the presumption that globalization will continue to expand. The scenario emphasizes the challenges to governments in meeting societies’ demands for both economic and physical security as popular pushback to globalization increases, emerging technologies transform work and trade, and political instability grows. It underscores the choices governments will face in conditions that might tempt some to turn inward, reduce support for multilateral cooperation, and adopt protectionist policies, while others find ways to leverage new sources of economic growth and productivity.
Translation:  The globalists are worried they are losing their grip on people and economies.
Description of the Work of George Soros
Communities show how growing public expectations but diminishing capacity of national governments open space for local governments and private actors, challenging traditional assumptions about what governing means. Most national governments resist, but others cede some power to emerging networks. These trends will further blur the lines between different forms of violence; governments will continue to debate which actions constitute “terrorism” versus “war,” “insurgency” or “criminal acts.” These developments suggest that how we fight terrorism will probably continue to evolve.
Translation:  The economic terrorism of George Soros is a new form of “insurgency” and “war.” 
Desperate Cry for Globalism Instead of Nationalism
A new, more broadly defined, more widely conceived definition of national interest, based on the concept of mutuality, might induce states to find far greater unity in deliberations at the international level. With the growing number of existential challenges facing humanity, “collective interest” could become “national interest.”  Leadership among international institutions will need to promote a long-term perspective and a global mentality – and be decisive in the short-term – to overcome the temptation toward insularity and muddling through. Rule-making, enforcement, and dispute resolution by private actors, however, is becoming more common. Multi-stakeholder multilateralism will complement state efforts. Government officials will dominate—but not monopolize—multilateral cooperation in the future. 
Translation:  A prophetic worry that a nationalist like Trump might come to power.
It is clear by this report from the combined 17 US Intelligence Agencies that the future is uncertain and that American national interests have been completely sold out to globalism.  The opening for a populist running on a nationalistic platform calling for borders, jobs, and America first is clearly predicted.  The advice that the liberals need to become even more liberal, if not socialistic, is also quite clear.  The “Paradox of Progress” is a report that is truly hoping that the Bush/Clinton/Obama loyalists can maintain power long enough to complete the overthrow of America.
Step Twelve – The Election of Hillary Clinton
America was one step away from its complete overthrow by the transnational forces being directed through the recent efforts of the Bush/Clinton/Obama CIA White House.  Each step of the gradual overthrow of America subsumed yet another aspect of American life: economic, political, cultural, military and constitutional rights.  The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights have been abnegated and eroded by the globalization of America. 
Hillary would be the American president who would willingly surrender U.S. citizens to the slavery of United Nation’s policies and the economic terrorism of George Soros.  Hillary was Soros’ puppet who was headed to the White House to continue the warlord policies of international bankers and brokers and her personal greed. Hillary had already demonstrated herself to be the penultimate criminal politician, along with Wild Bill her husband, and was headed for even higher realms of deceit, criminal activity, and treason. 
Trump’s victory was the worst blow the imperialistic globalists have had since 1913 when they installed foreign bankers in the U.S. Federal Reserve. Every evil cabal, from the Trilateralists to the Knights of Malta, had emergency meetings to create a “plan B” for the shock of a Trump victory over the assumed Queen and King of America, Hillary and Wild Bill. The new global Bonnie and Clyde were only an inch away from completing the total overthrow of America. 
Trump was the wild card, the ace up the sleeve, the black swan that shook the entire world and announced that “America ain’t dead yet.” Trump is the intelligence community’s worst nightmare, the fly in the soup, the mill-stone around their necks.  George Soros is ready to have a heart-attack and Valarie Jarrett, Barrack and Michele/Michael, and Oprah Winfrey have been called to the front lines to help enact George Soros’ strategy of regime change that has worked so effectively before in other countries. 
Their fear of criminal prosecution has them so worried that they will do anything to stop Trump from being the “wrecking ball” that knocks down their carefully constructed house of cards.
We can see why the “vested interests” behind the Clintons, and even Bernie Sanders (another Soros puppet), are going crazy with wild rhetoric, imaginary Russian scandals, MSM fake news, baseless accusations, and Hollywood created dissent and resistance. (Patriots must boycott Hollywood. See our article.) 
We can see that all 187 funded Soros political activist groups are doing exactly what they are being told to do to help alleviate the “globalist’s stress” that Trump creates every time he opens his mouth.  The Democratic Party is in shambles and the “bought and paid for” Republicans are having anxiety attacks because their steady stream of money may be cut off and the rule of law upheld for the first time in decades. Trump has called them all out and they are showing their true colors and jumping from what they think is a sinking ship.  The question is, “Whose ship is sinking?” 
Trump Dismantles the 12 Steps
The Anonymous Patriots have written before about what President Donald J. Trump can do to grab this bull by the horns and tame it. Essentially, Trump is doing the right things by going slowly, enforcing the rule of law, and carefully auditing and dismantling the mechanisms of globalism in the American political, economic, and cultural spheres. He has put everyone in Washington D. C. “on notice” and is threatening a sort of “mass firing” and the rehiring of honest politicians who have term limits, financial transparency, and honesty in their selfless service to the spirit of American freedom. 
The steps are clear and simple and only require a thorough review of existing laws and a diligent application of them in all matters.  Investigations, audits, and criminal proceeding should take place within the defined limits of the law, but the law must be enforced without impunity.

Action Item One – Creating the US Federal Reserve
Audit, investigate wrongdoing, and then seize the assets of the Fed and surrender them to the US Treasury. 

Action Item Two – Creation of the Council on Foreign Relations
Disband the Council of Foreign Relations and create a national advisory board for foreign relations with only U.S. citizens (no dual citizens) as members.

Action Item Three – Creating the Exchange Stabilization Fund
Take back control of the ESF from the CIA and put this office under the control of the U.S. Treasury without a Federal Reserve System or central bank system.

Action Item Four – Joining the United Nations
Audit, investigate and prosecute criminal activities, and seize US funds being held by the UN.  End American membership in all aspects, branches, and agencies of the United Nations.
Action Item Five – The Birth of the Bush Criminal Family
Thoroughly investigate all allegations of crimes and wrongdoings of George H. W. Bush.
Action Item Six – Bush’s 911 False Flag
Conduct an honest investigation of the attacks on 911. Prosecute the criminals found involved.
Action Item Seven – Enacting of the USA Patriot Act
Rescind the USA Freedom Act (USA Patriot Act) and all of its components.
Action Item Eight – Enacting the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
Create legislation that makes illegal banking practices and criminal stocks and market
manipulation equal to terrorism. 
Action Item Nine – Broadening the National Defense Authorization Act
Reinstate the language of the NDAA that existed before the Bush/Clinton/Obama White House broadened its scope and application.
Action Item Ten – George Soros Conducts CIA Economic Terrorism
Arrest George Soros as a criminal economic terrorist and seize his assets. Investigate all Soros funded organizations and prosecute criminals for conspiracy to create sedition, treason, and murder.
Action Item Eleven – The U.S. Intelligence Community Dismantles America
Fire all corporate intelligence agencies working for the US government and replace them with military personnel.  Create laws against sharing US intelligence and enforce those laws.
Action Item Twelve – The Election of Hillary Clinton
Seize all assets of the Clinton Foundation and prosecute Bill & Hillary for tax evasion and the misuse of a governmental department (presidential library commission).  Prosecute Hillary for using the State Department as part of her foundation solicitations. Prosecute Hillary for her mishandling of secret State Department documents on her personal server.

Overthrowing America in Twelve Steps



Trump Thinks Your Car's Gas Mileage Is... Your Business

The Clovers are aghast that Trump is threatening to do the unimaginable – and stop threatening the car companies with federal fuel economy fatwas (and add-on fatwas forbidding or restricting how much plant food – carbon dioxide – cars may emit).

He appears to be entertaining the horrible idea that the people who buy cars ought to be free to decide for themselves how much fuel economy matters to them – since they will be the ones paying for both the car and the gas. And – oh my god! – that this is really none of the business of the “concerned” scientists and other professional busybodies who regard their opinions and preferences as holy writ enforceable at gunpoint.

“We’re going to work on the CAFE standards so you can make cars in America again,” said Trump. He should have added the qualifier – affordable cars in America again.


Leaving aside the moral issue – who are these people to tell anyone whether their next car should get 10 MPG or 40 MPG? – the issue never addressed by the media, including the automotive media, is how much will all this cost us?

Obama’s mullahs uluated about the many billions (allegedly) which would be “saved” by force-marching every automaker to build cars that average 54.5 MPG. It is the sort of “savings” one realizes by emptying your bank account to buy something you don’t need that’s 5 percent off.

Only worse, because you’re not given the option to keep your money in the bank.
A week or so ago, executives from the major automakers came to the White House to explain to Donald – who probably already grokked it – that to get a single car to average 54.5 MPG requires more than merely ululating that it will be so. A new Prius hybrid almost manages it – and the hybrid Prius costs several thousand dollars more than an otherwise similar but not 54.5 MPG non-hybrid car.

And to get every car made to average 54.5 MPG – which is what Obama’s EPA ululated in the last weeks of his regime – won’t magically just happen, either – even if the entire regulatory Mecca ululates in unison for a week straight.


In the first place, it requires technology – and new designs. These generally involve work and resources, which cost money. New components don’t generally rain from Allah’s merciful bounty, upon ululation.

The executives pointed this out to Trump – who almost certainly grokked it beforehand, since he appears to be a man who probably knows where the dipstick is under the hood of a car and also what it’s for.

It is doubtful Obama knew – or did.
Or cared.

The current CAFE fatwa is 35.5 MPG and to achieve this without going hybrid across the board has required some very elaborate – some very expensive – technology. Two specific examples: Direct injection and transmissions with eight, nine and lately ten forward speeds.


These are coming online (the new Ford F-150 pick-up, reviewed here,  has a ten-speed automatic and probably two-thirds of all new vehicles are already direct-injected) because of the existing CAFE fatwa.

But they offer no particular advantage to the buyer, in terms of how the car drives or performs. Indeed, cars with these too-many-speeds automatics often have strange driving characteristics.  I can vouch for this; I test drive and review new cars each week.

For instance, the sensation that the car is surging forward (it is) when the transmission skips up three or four gears on a downhill because the computer is desperate to get the transmission into the top overdrive gear as quickly as possible in order to cut engine revs to the minimum in order to squeeze out a teensy uptick in MPGs, for the sake of CAFE.

Direct injection, meanwhile, has supplanted port fuel injection (PFI) with a two-stage system that operates at extreme pressure (3,000 psi vs. 35 or so psi) and which has created a carbon deposit problem inside the engine. In engines fed fuel via PFI or TBI or even a carburetor, the fuel washes over the backsides of the valves as it enters the combustion chamber – and because gas is a solvent, that action keeps the valves from crudding up. But in a DI system, the fuel is sprayed through a hole inside the combustion chamber and there is no solvent effect.

And so, crud forms.


To fix this problem the automakers are adding a separate, additional port-fuel circuit to keep the valves clean. So now you car will have two fuel injection systems – and multiple fuel pumps rather than just one.
It is not free.

What would it take to get all cars to average 54.5 MPG?

Keep in mind that not a single non-hybrid/non-electric new car comes close to that. Obama’s fatwa was in a way an ululation demanding that most if not all cars be hybrids or electric cars – because that is probably the only way to get to a “fleet average” (CAFE terminology) of 54.5 MPG absent the discovery of miracle technologies such as Roswell Crash-style ultra-light metal that is also ultra strong (so that other fatwas regarding “safety” can also be complied with).

This brings us back to the moral issue: Why is how much or little fuel our cars use anyone else’s business, since we pay for the car and the fuel? If gas “costs too much,” we can buy a different car that uses less.

And there is another issue, very obvious, but – like the cost of the fatwas – never asked or discussed:


If the market is so “concerned” about fuel economy – as the various scientists, “public citizens” and other such self-appointed voxxers of the populi claim, why not allow the market to apply the pressure?
Can’t have that. Pressure must come from above.

It doesn’t matter that there are already cars available that were designed to deliver much higher-than-average mileage – the Prius, for instance – which people are free to pay for if that is their priority. What the various “concerned” and the mullahs within the EPA and federal apparat are really concerned about is that people can choose not to buy such. That they are free to buy something else.

For the ululators, everyone must buy the same thing – the thing the uluators insist they buy. Or else.
Always, collectivism and coercion.
Never free choice, liberty – the market.

It’s worth recalling that the literal translation of laissez-faire is… leave us alone.
Exactly.

Good on Donald.

Trump Wins: G-20 Drops 'Anti-Protectionist, Free-Trade, & Climate-Change Funding' Pledge

After delays and hours of discussions amid tensions over 'trade' comments between the United States and the rest of The G-20, it appears President Trump has 'won'. While China was "adamantly against" protectionism, the finance ministers end talks without renewing their long-standing commitment to free trade and rejection of protectionism after US opposition.

The world's financial leaders are unlikely to endorse free trade and reject protectionism in their communique on Saturday because they have been unable to find a wording that would suit a more protectionist United States, G20 officials said.

This would break with a decade-old tradition among the finance ministers and central bankers of the world's 20 top economies (G20), who over the years have repeatedly rejected protectionism and endorsed free trade.

But the new administration in the United States is considering trade measures to curb imports with a border tax and would not agree to repeat the formulations used by previous G20 communiques, clashing with China and Europe, the officials said.



"Unless there is a last minute miracle, there is no agreement on trade," one official, who declined to be named, told Reuters.  "This is not a good outcome of the meeting," a G20 delegate quoted Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann as saying.

In a partial face-saving move, as The FT details, G20 finance ministers meeting in the German resort town of Baden-Baden noted the importance of trade to the global economy, but dropped tougher language from last year that vowed to “resist all forms of protectionism”.
The new communique said: “We are working to strengthen the contribution of trade to our economies. We will strive to reduce excessive global imbalances, promote greater inclusiveness and fairness and reduce inequality in our pursuit of economic growth.”

The watered-down commitments on free trade reflected the anti-globalisation mood that Donald Trump has brought to Washington and came in the first G20 meetings between Steven Mnuchin, the new US Treasury Secretary, and his foreign counterparts.

US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin spoke to reporters after the meeting:
  • *MNUCHIN: LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING CLOSELY W/ G-20 COLLEAGUES
  • *MNUCHIN: CONFIDENT U.S. CAN WORK CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH PARTNERS
  • *MNUCHIN: U.S. BELIEVES IN FREE, BALANCED TRADE
  • *MNUCHIN SAYS WILL LOOK AT TRADE SURPLUSES WITH VIEW TO CORRECT
  • *MNUCHIN SAYS MULTILATERAL AGREEMENTS HAVE VERY IMPORTANT PLACE
  • *MNUCHIN SAYS U.S. WANTS TO RE-EXAMINE TRADE DEALS INCL. NAFTA
  • *MNUCHIN: U.S. BELIEVES IN APPROPRIATE REGULATION
  • *MNUCHIN SAYS IMPORTANT BANKS CAN PROVIDE LIQUIDITY IN MARKETS
Reuters also points out another potential win for Trump as the communique will also drop a reference, used by the G20 last year, on the readiness to finance climate change as agreed in Paris in 2015 because of opposition from the United States and Saudi Arabia.
Trump has called global warming a "hoax" concocted by China to hurt U.S. industry and vowed to scrap the Paris climate accord aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

Trump's administration on Thursday proposed a 31 percent cut to the Environmental Protection Agency's budget as the White House seeks to eliminate climate change programs and trim initiatives to protect air and water quality.

Asked about climate change funding, Mick Mulvaney, Trump's budget director, said on Thursday, "We consider that to be a waste of money."
The G20 do agree, however, to show continuity in their foreign exchange policies, using phrases from the past on foreign exchange markets.
As we noted earlier, needless to say, such an acrimonous end to the weekend's summit would likely result in a surge in FX volatility when markets open for trading late on Sunday, reflecting the new state of global trade flux, in which the future of the US Dollar is completely unknown, and reflecting the emerging chaos over the future parameters of trade.

23 countries will not take back their criminal migrants




23 countries refuse to take back criminal aliens

Somalia, on Trump's terror list, is 1 of worst



03/18/2017 at 5:36 PM
Leo Hohmann



More than 2,000 criminal non-citizens, including many here illegally, are released from prison every year onto the streets of American cities.

Americans like Casey Chadwick, 25, have paid with their lives. She was stabbed to death outside her apartment in Norwich, Connecticut, by an illegal criminal alien from Haiti who had already served 17 years in prison for attempted murder. ICE had tried to deport him several times but Haiti would not accept him.

Haiti refused to accept Jean Jacques.  ICE was forced to free him under a 2001 Supreme Court ruling.

The problem is that 23 countries will not take back their criminal migrants, according to a DHS report cited by Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The government has not named all 23 uncooperative nations but WND has been able to identify 13 of them.
 
The five worst are Cuba, China, Somalia, India and Ghana.  Others on the list include:
  • Iraq
  • Iran
  • Afghanistan
  • Libya
  • Algeria
  • Vietnam
  • Haiti

The majority of the countries on the list are either communist or Islamic.  Three of the countries – Somalia, Iran and Libya – are on President Trump’s list of terrorist sponsoring countries from which he wants to ban travel into the U.S. for 90 days while better vetting programs can be developed. 

His executive order on the temporary travel ban is being held up by federal district judges in Hawaii and Maryland.  The criminals include murderers, rapists and child molesters.

Fair is fair right?

Adding to the indignity and lack of fair play, the U.S. continues to grant visas and refugee status to foreign nationals from these 23 countries. And in many cases, the U.S. also continues to send foreign aid to these recalcitrant nations that refuse to cooperate with ICE in taking back their criminals.

Several congressmen have tried to rectify the injustice but have yet to get their bills passed. 

Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas
The latest is Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, who has introduced a bill that would cut off all foreign aid to countries that don’t cooperate with ICE deportation efforts.

In a statement emailed to WND Babin’s office said:
“There is absolutely no reason that criminal aliens should be released back onto America’s streets, yet that is exactly what is happening by the thousands each and every year because their countries of origin refuse to take them back. My bill upholds the rule of law and holds these countries accountable by stripping their foreign aid and travel visas if they fail to cooperate. President Trump has announced that deporting the roughly 2 million criminal aliens in our country is a top priority for his presidency – and this legislation is a critical component to any such effort.”
Babin said only one Democrat in the House has supported his bill – Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas. (No surprise there!)

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson interviewed Cuellar for her upcoming Sunday edition of Full Measure in which she asked the congressman about the outrageous leniency with which the U.S. treats the 23 nations refusing to cooperate with U.S. immigration officials on deportations.

In addition to the 23 countries that don’t cooperate at all with ICE, another 60 cannot be counted on to consistently cooperate. (The leaders are no fools - they do not want to deal with the problems these criminals are causing in their nations, thus refusing to allow the U.S. to return them. Once here, it becomes our problem - period.)

“There are about 30 countries that have been very difficult to work with that won’t take back their criminals, but at the same time we’re issuing business visas or student visas to those countries,” Cuellar told Attkisson.

“So while we’re giving them the opportunity to come to the United States, they’re refusing, should I say, to take back the criminal aliens that belong to those countries.”

A bizarre Supreme Court opinion

Attkisson said a big part of the problem can be traced to a 2001 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in Zadvydas v. Davis. In that case the high court ruled ICE may not keep criminal aliens in custody for longer than 180 days, with a few exceptions, from the time they are released from prison. Jacques was held for 205 days, but ultimately freed less than six months before he killed Chadwick.

“The Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. cannot indefinitely hold immigrant criminals if their own countries refuse to take them back. Cuban-born Abel Arango had multiple felony convictions in the U.S. for armed robbery, burglary and grand theft,” Attkisson said.

“A judge ordered his deportation, but Cuba refused to take him back. He was released in Miami, later arrested for five felony cocaine charges, released again, and — in 2008— he gunned down a Ft. Myers, Florida police officer, Andrew Widman,” she added.

An existing law goes unenforced

Cuellar, while backing Babin’s bill, said there is already a law on the books that the U.S. could enforce and clean up the mess with uncooperative nations.

While it doesn’t cut funding to those nations like Babin’s bill would, the existing law allows the U.S. to hold the visas of foreign nationals from nations not cooperating with ICE on criminal deportations.

“We found out that there’s a law already that allows us to hold those visas if a country’s not planning to take back their criminals,” he said in the Full Measure interview.

“We’re not enforcing it, which is amazing,” he added. “So now my intent is to go back to our committee on appropriations and affect their funding until they do that.”

Because of the Supreme Court decision, “that means you’re releasing criminals into our streets because those countries refuse to take back those criminal aliens. 

That’s wrong,” Cuellar said. “And especially I think it’s even worse that this is already on the books, and we’re still issuing business tourist visas and student visas to countries that refuse to take back their criminal aliens. 

That’s wrong, and we’re hoping to change that.  So why does the U.S. not enforce an existing law that would provide a measure of pay-back to uncooperative nations? Cuellar lays the blame at the feet of the U.S State Department.

“… I’ve been working on this issue and they said ‘well you know you gotta understand diplomacy, we don’t wanna upset some of those countries,'” Cuellar told Attkisson.

“But my response is, but we can upset our constituents, we can upset our way of life that we have here by allowing those criminals to be released? And basically the response from the State Department is because you have to work with the State Department and Homeland Security. And the State Department, with all due respect, was focused on diplomacy. I understand that, but I’m also concerned about individuals here who are in their neighborhoods; and you can release a criminal because we can’t hold them anymore and that county refuses to take back that criminal alien.”

Cuellar says he plans to press for the U.S. to withhold visas from countries that won’t accept the return of their criminals.

House passes bill enabling gun sales to veterans


HOUSE  PASSES  BILL  ENABLING  GUN  SALES  TO  VETERANS  DEEMED  'MENTALLY  INCOMPETENT'

House  OKs  Bill  To  Stop  VA  From  Blocking  Right  To  Own  Guns  For  Vets

“So  many  people  have  been  trapped ..."
The House of Representatives on Thursday took the first step in scrapping a law that denies thousands of veterans the ability to own a gun.

The House voted 240-175 for the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act to go to the Senate. The White House has signaled that President Donald Trump will sign the legislation if it passes the Senate.

The bill would end the current practice under which the Department of Veterans Affairs rules that veterans who cannot manage their financial affairs are automatically entered into National Instant Criminal Background Check System as unable to own a gun.
The bill would require a judge to assess the veteran to determine if he or she is truly a threat to anyone before the veteran is added to the database.

The bill’s supporters said there is no connection between fiscal acuity and gun ownership.

“What it says (is) if you can’t balance a bank account, you can’t handle a firearm. There is no relation between the two,” said Rep. Ken Buck, R-Fla. “So many people have been trapped by this over broad rule.”

Others said the law abridged Second Amendment rights. “I strongly believe we must do everything in our power to protect the rights guaranteed to all Americans, especially the men and women who have served, by the Constitution,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn.

The bill is backed by the National Rifle Association. “No veteran should have their fundamental right to self  defense arbitrarily revoked by a government bureaucrat,” said NRA Executive Director Chris Cox.

Receiving assistance to handle personal finances does not mean an individual is unable to safely own a firearm. Our brave men and women in the military should not be stripped of their constitutional rights without due process of law,” he added.

Critics of the law said it would increase suicides among veterans. “It’s going to result in more deaths, more suicides of veterans throughout this nation,” said retired Navy Capt. Mark Kelly, husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz. “It weakens our background-check system and makes our country a less safe place.”

The VA had given the database 167,815 names as of Dec. 31.

Democrat Bill to Strip Citizens of Gun Rights


LAWMAKERS   STUNNED  AT  WHERE  THEY  FOUND  DEMOCRAT  BILL  TO  STRIP  CITIZENS  OF  GUN  RIGHTS




The maxim “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” is meant to instill in those who hear it that the answer to failure isn’t despondency, it’s hard work.

Apparently New Mexico Democrat lawmakers took that to heart as they took a gun control bill that already failed, re-branded it, and put it back out for consideration as if their peers were that stupid.

The initial bill, HB 50, mandated universal background checks on gun purchases throughout the state, Breitbart reported. When that bill failed, which, of course it did, Democrats simply refiled substantially the same legislation under a different number, HB 548, in hopes of getting that one through the House Judiciary Committee on Monday, according to Bearing Arms.

The newly numbered bill didn’t make it either.

“A New Mexico state bill to expand background checks to most private gun transactions has been voted down by a legislative panel, ending chances for approval this year,” The Associated Press reported.

“The House Judiciary Committee on Monday failed to endorse the Democrat-sponsored initiative designed to extend background checks to gun sales arranged over the internet or on the sidelines of guns shows that don’t involve a licensed dealer,” AP continued.

No, Democrats, your fellow lawmakers are not that dumb.

Neither are American people, for that matter. Besides Bearing Arms, Breitbart and the NRA-ILA ran stories warning responsible Americans that Democrats were being, well, Democrats.

They’ll just have to settle for looking for other ways to undercut our freedoms for now.

Overthrowing America in Twelve Steps


Overthrowing America in Twelve Steps

How America Was Being SYSTEMATICALLY Overthrown In 12 Steps…Until Trump




Over Throwing America in Twelve Steps


Published on Mar 4, 2017
The hundred-year attack on America has been accomplished in 12 steps that spell out the demise of the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Bill of Rights. Each step is explained in detail and adds another picture to the puzzle of the apparent “regime change” that George Soros and his “bought and paid for” activists groups are conducting against Trump. The 12th step in the overthrow of America was to be the election of Hillary Clinton and the continuation of the Bush/Clinton/Obama CIA White House. Trump’s victory is the wrecking ball that is tearing down the walls that surround DC political corruption and the sell-out of American liberties.
