Coast to Coast the professional apparatus of the GOPe (Financiers) are deploying every strategy to influence the 2016 Presidential election.
However, more people are becoming aware of what Wall Street demands, Jeb Bush; and more people have caught on to the scheme embedded within the GOPe road map to nominate Jeb Bush, the patriot boots on the ground are fighting back.

The influence of Wall Street is so deeply entrenched in this struggle the reality of what is taking place is gobsmacking.  Wall Street Hedge fund billionaires are dropping millions and millions into races through Super-PACs to control the outcome.
Historically money has always been a corrupting influence.  However, since the Citizens United SCOTUS decision the Republican Party apparatus no longer needs the electorate they are supposed to represent.
The influence of money has EXPLODED exponentially and now national Super-PAC expenditures are creeping into state legislatures and party rule apparatus.   In a very real way this is all coming out as a result of Donald Trump’s representative risk to the financiers.
State party officials now changing the Presidential election rules hoping to counter Trump’s popularity with machinations to favor their establishment systems.  Yesterday, we told you about North Carolina doing exactly that.  Last night the push back began. (more…)

The FEC has opened an inquiry (see pdf below) into Ted Cruz Super-PAC (KtP) and Carly Fiorina Super-PAC (CfA).   I’ll just drop this here as a reminder to what we previously said was going to happen; when you know the “splitters” you know the most likely scenario:

There are a few different versions of various Clinton email scandals surfacing today within the Friday news dump. 

Here’s the first:
(Via Reuters) The U.S. Defense Department has found an email chain that Hillary Clinton did not give to the State Department, the State Department said on Friday, despite her saying she had provided all work emails from her time as secretary of state.
The correspondence with General David Petraeus, who was commander of U.S. Central Command at the time, started shortly before she entered office and continued during her first days as the top U.S. diplomat in January and February of 2009.
The Defense Department provided the emails to the State Department in “the last several days,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. (more…)

Anyone who is viewing the battle between Donald Trump and Fox News as a representative battle of thin-skinned ego is entirely missing the point.

Trump is not just taking on the construct of progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism; Trump is not just exposing the immense number of faux-conservatives in media and political punditry;  Trump is not just allowing us to see the scope of anti-American interest; no, he’s taking on the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country. Heck, he’s taking on all the “Decepticons” simultaneously.
In many ways Fox’s Roger Ailes and Republican Mitch McConnell carry the same ideological character trait, deception. For McConnell his deceptive ways allow him to retain power inside the DC construct. For Roger Ailes manipulation benefits his media dominance and political interests.
Neither McConnell nor Ailes can actually be trusted.  However, we are only just beginning to understand the enormity and scope of the previously hidden betrayal.
It all boils down to a very familiar problem. Would you rather rid yourself of the schemer, manipulator and deceiver who claims to be your friend – and as a consequence face a visible enemy in their stead. Or do you chose to be associated within the camp of a person you can never fully trust. (more…)

This report specifically states the FBI has recovered “work-related” email from the server used by Hillary Clinton.

(Via Bloomberg)  The FBI has recovered personal and work-related e-mails from the private computer server used by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s success at salvaging personal e-mails that Clinton said had been deleted raises the possibility that the Democratic presidential candidate’s correspondence eventually could become public. The disclosure of such e-mails would likely fan the controversy over Clinton’s use of a private e-mail system for official business.
The FBI is investigating how and why classified information ended up on Clinton’s server. The probe probably will take at least several more months, according to the person, who described the matter on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing and deals with sensitive information.

“Operation Hummingbird” an identifier given (by me) to describe a very strategic approach of Karl Rove in getting Jeb Bush the republican nomination.  “Hummingbird” describes a very a specific strategy to overcome a hurdle currently blocking Rove’s path, Donald Trump.  Often it is easier to use a descriptive term, rather than spend 300 words having to re-explain a strategy as it expands and becomes increasingly visible over time.

Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch wants the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal approved.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is constructing the trade deal.  TPTA controls 40% of global manufacturing. Murdoch is Mr. Wall Street.  Murdoch is supporting Bush to get his deal.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2015:

• Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
• Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
• Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
• Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.

Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush support these legislative priorities.  They, along with Mitch McConnell et al, have been lobbied (campaigns paid) to support them.  Failure is not an option.  The game has been rigged.  Wall Street will not be denied. Period.
The ultimate RNC/GOPe goal is to get Jeb Bush on one side of the primary equation, and then see the DNC get Hillary Clinton on the other side.  Together they represent a Win/Win for Wall Street regardless of general election outcome.

This is the goal; this is the only goal; this goal will never be abandoned.  They will never stop working to deliver this goal. Trillions are at stake.  Jeb Bush is the only acceptable RNC/GOPe candidate; that’s why Jeb doesn’t even have to work hard – the outcome is pre-ordained, decided, done.  Jeb Bush will never be abandoned. Period. (more…)

Public Policy Polling released another poll today (full pdf below) reflecting the status of the IOWA GOP primary race.  According to the poll Donald Trump retains the lead with 24%, while Ben Carson carries 17% and Carly Fiorina holding 13%.

Given the call by Scott Walker for his low-polling colleagues to exit the race, it becomes an interesting exercise to see where their supporters would go in Iowa if this was to happen. (more…)

The article conjures up images of Kerry and Obama playing the roles of Herve Villechaize and Ricardo Montalban waiting for the planes to arrive on Fantasy Island…. “Da Plane, Da plane”!

(Via NBC) The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017. (more…)

NPR has received some preliminary examples of the type of analyst intelligence that was skewed to create a more favorable opinion of President Obama’s foreign policy approach toward ISIS.
In one example the following is noted:

[…]  A military source described the evolution of one report that came out of CENTCOM’s intelligence shop. It was a dispatch on an ISIS attack in Iraq near the Syrian border. The initial CENTCOM report read, “Iraqi forces retreated.” It was sent back for reworking, the source said. Eventually that report came to read that the Iraqi forces had not retreated, but instead had reinforced another Iraqi position. The final draft suggested a strategic decision had been made. But that was not what happened, the source said — the Iraqi forces ran. A second source confirmed the account of the change in wording to put the Iraqi forces in a more positive light. (read more)

In what appears to be a profound sense of professional obfuscation, the head of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Lloyd Austin, told congress that despite the revisions and/or manipulations currently being investigated by the inspector general, the intelligence did not go directly to President Obama. (more…)

OAN/GRAVIS have published an exclusive poll based entirely on the results from last night’s CNN debate (full pdf below).  The poll shows the majority of those questioned viewed Carly Fiorina won the debate and reflects a predictable surge:

According to this result, both Fiorina and Rubio gained status and favorable opinion amid those Republicans polled. (more…)
