The jaw-droppingly qualified “America First” Main Street economics team continues to be brilliantly assembled. It is now transparently obvious that Donald Trump has a very specific strategy to navigate the mine field created by three decades of Main Street erosion.
President-elect Donald Trump, announced Wednesday the head of the newly created White House National Trade Council: Peter Navarro, an economist who supports a hardline approach toward relations with China. Trump also named business mogul Carl Icahn a special adviser to the President on regulatory reform.
“I read one of Peter’s books on America’s trade problems years ago and was impressed by the clarity of his arguments and thoroughness of his research,” Trump said in a statement, possibly referring to Navarro’s 2011 book “Death By China.” (more…)
Do the math within the timeline provided in this story and you will find the substance for the headline. Since the 2009 Obama speech in Cairo we have discussed the consequences against the backdrop of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and the larger mid-east. Within the accompanying research and discussion – years ago Zurich Mike coined the phrase: “Obama killed the Mid-East Zookeepers, unlocked the big cat cages, and just walked away”… Ben Ali (Tunisia), Abdullah Salah (Yemen), Muamar Gaddaffi (Libya), Hosni Mubarak (Egypt). The Arab Spring Targets from Obama’s Cairo Speech The coded messaging within the June 2009 speech in Cairo was a message to the Middle East that America would no longer protect the various dictators, and it was safe to attack them. The Obama administration would accept their replacements, regardless of how they assumed power. The message (speech here) was transparently obvious to those who understood the ramifications.
Well….
(Via Daily Mail) The Tunisian terror suspect wanted in connection with the Berlin Christmas market atrocity spent four years in an Italian jail before moving to Germany, his father revealed today.
Anis Amri settled in Italy after leaving his hometown of Tataouine, *Tunisia seven years ago to travel to Europe as an illegal immigrant, his father claimed in a radio interview. [*note, he would have been 17-years-old]

Changing perceptions on modern political economics is perhaps the second most important paradigm shift in 2016 political understanding. The most important cognitive shift being the professional political class’s use of “the splitter strategy”, and/or professional manipulative intents to elevate two UniParty candidates (Bush and Clinton).
The UniParty was successful with defeating Bernie Sanders; however, the UniParty failed in defeating Donald Trump. The Sanders Team only discovered the scope of the professional DNC betrayal after the primary was over. The Trump Team succeeded because they were a more ‘in-tune’ audience – with more cynical experiences gained from six previous years of transparent RNC betrayal.
The UniParty political fraud also applies to our political economy. However, just like the election, understanding the deception in modern economics means understanding previous false and promoted assumptions. (more…)
Interesting interview with Nigel Farage today (full audio below) covering a variety of topics. Farage begins with the topic of the latest terrorist attack in Berlin, and the larger EU issues. MP Farage lays the blame for the originating political policies squarely at the feet of the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
Farage also speaks about the ongoing relationship between himself and President Donald Trump, and the anxiety within the British professional political class about Trump and Farage maintaining a close relationship. {{snicker}}
I don’t know why these guys continue to show up on Sunday talk shows to discuss insufferably ridiculous questions.
The Trump Team should consider broadcasting their own round table “Sunday Talk” discussion, via RSBN or other, from Trump Tower. Bring in a guest like Sharyl Attkisson (or other) weekly, put it on YouTube/Facebook and it will have multiple benefits.
Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition, discusses reported Russian hacks and President Obama’s response.
WASHINGTON DC – Washington and Beijing have agreed to terms to return a Navy drone captured in the disputed waters of the South China Sea to the U.S., the Pentagon announced Saturday.
[…] China’s decision to release the drone Saturday, came hours after President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter to slam Beijing’s actions. (read more) (more…)
(New York, NY)— President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his nomination of U.S. Congressman Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Congressman Mulvaney brings a wealth of experience on economic, budgetary, and fiscal issues to his new role. Rep. Mulvaney has long been a strong voice in Congress for reining in out-of-control spending, fighting government waste and enacting tax policies that will allow working Americans to thrive.
Rep. Mulvaney believes getting America’s fiscal house in order is a key component of President-elect Trump’s America First plan to create millions of jobs and grow the economy. (more…)
In a released preview of Oprah Winfrey interviewing First Lady Michelle Obama, a rather divisive response begins another controversial statement from Mrs. Obama.
When asked whether President Obama had stayed true to his promise of “hope and change”, Michelle Obama answers “yes, I do”; and expands by saying:
“because we feel the difference now. Now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like”…
Democrats establishing a second, parallel, U.S. government structure.
If there was anyone who doubted the previous outline we shared about the State Department operating as a complete and distinct agency of the U.S. government, today’s action from DC Democrats should put those doubts to rest.
A true “America First” diplomatic outlook is an existential threat to the preferred mission statement of the U.S. State Department. (link)
Democrat leaders within the House Foreign Affairs Committee sent a warning letter to State Department officials and career diplomats alerting them to beware of Trump administration changing their overarching objectives and globalist mission: (more…)
