NEW YORK – By the closing bell, the Dow rose 67 points or 0.35% to 19023, while the S&P 500 ticked up 4 points, or 0.22% to 2202, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 17 points, or 0.33% to 5386. Telecom, real estate, and consumer discretionary sectors led the gains.

BREAKING: Dow Jones industrials close above 19,000 for the first time as a post-election rally continues to push market to records.

[…] Since the surprise outcome of the U.S. election two weeks ago in which Donald Trump secured the White House, the Dow has rallied more than 667 points, or 3.64% as Wall Street has cheered the prospects of a round of infrastructure spending, renegotiated global trade deals, and a drawdown in regulation.

Amid all the hand-wringing, angst and media-driven pundit protestations, one consistent principle remains: ..when it comes to Donald Trump’s intention, media narratives rely upon twisted information.  Today is no different.
The New York Post kicks off a media cycle by saying “Trump won’t pursue charges against Hillary Clinton“.  That daily headline is driven by a Kellyanne Conway interview on Morning Joe…. and so the narrative charges forth into the bloodstream.
Before we get too caught up in the discussion, it would be wise to remember another time when a similar media narrative began, from the exact same set of players, surrounding Donald Trump reversing his position on illegal alien deportation.
This prior narrative ultimately culminated in a Trump speech in Phoenix Arizona on the day candidate Trump met with Mexican political leadership.  There was no truth to the prior 36 hour narrative.
Within both narrative explosions you find the reason Trump used Steve Bannon to balance out the Kellyanne Conway-ism propensity toward overspeak, combined with media’s intentional use of that overspeak, ie. the sideshow.
President-Elect Donald Trump transparently wants and needs the legislative effort of congress focused on his agenda, his America-First platform.
President Trump does not want his bold advancement mired in the quicksand of DC swamp-water; represented by endlessly divisive and partisan congressional hearings constructed to give professional political party leadership airtime on TV media – and which also, inherently by design, go no-where.

Lots of chatter today about Donald Trump comments surround Hillary Clinton prosecution vs non-prosecution etc. as congress is pondering further investigation into personal email issues.
To concern voices I would remind: #1) Consider the source of information. #2) Who is more valuable to have as SoS. [tamp down] and AG.  #3) The email Clinton issue is “less than” – Remember, it’s the foundation… two Clinton captures are better than one… follow the money.

Also, don’t think Correct The Record (David Brock) is finished just because they lost the election. CTR has a vested financial interest in everything Clinton.  Think long-term.

President-elect has left Trump Tower, heading to Florida for Thanksgiving break

There is a massive economic surge making noise just on the other side of the horizon; best understood within the following dichotomy:

♦ Manufacturing automation reduces the need for human capital.

♦ The outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing is due to lower labor costs overseas.

The inability to square that modern ideological and economic circle lies at the heart of a new economic paradigm, a second American economic revolution.

When W Edwards Demming exported his post world war II industrial manufacturing management skill to Japan, the key export was not technological – it was psychological.
There is something very unique to the American labor market that does not exist within global competitors; the ability to innovate, to think outside the box.
Within the culture of Americanism lies a very specific DNA strain that is non-conformational, or anti-status-quo.  It’s an immeasurable and unquantifiable factor in the success of American economic exceptionalism.  No other nation has found a way to duplicate it; the closest anti-establishment cultural sensibility is Australia.

If there was any doubt that Donald Trump was going to usher in a new American era of communication where the main stream corporate media were made irrelevant, well, this should answer the question.
Using Facebook –HERE– and social media (Dan Schavino and Jason Miller), President Elect Donald Trump releases a video message (directly to the American electorate) updating everyone on the Transition Team objectives and reaffirming the already announced goals for the first 100 days.

Worth noting late last night President Obama was still pitching his Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPP) during a press conference in Peru. President-Elect Donald Trump, within this video, states his immediate intent to eliminate the U.S. involvement in this TPP construct.

According to a New York Post article the off-record media summit held earlier in the day within Trump Tower did not go exactly as corporate media had planned:

…“It was like a f–ing firing squad,” one source said of the encounter.  (read more)

Amid all the chatter and opinions of possible cabinet positions for the incoming Trump administration a few of them seem more likely than others.  General Mattis (w/ waiver) for Defense Secretary, and Mayor Rudy Guiliani for State Secretary are among the more ideologically, purposefully and intuitively aligned.
Another name that seems like a very real possibility, given the Trump immigration proposals and needed enforcement mechanisms, is Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
We previously outlined how Kobach appeared to be the central architect of the plan –SEE HERE.
Today, another report surfaces with a rather interesting angle as an AP photographer captured the image of some documents Kobach was carrying into a meeting with Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
(Via Kansas CJOnLine) A written plan for the Department of Homeland Security brought by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach into his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump spells out a desire to question “high-risk” immigrants over support for Sharia law and the U.S. Constitution. (more…)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is contemplating a new administration against the backdrop of 8 years of left-wing environmentalism pushing “climate change” as the crow-bar to achieve their agenda items.
More and more Americans are becoming aware the larger climate goals have nothing to do with the environment, and are driven by a group of elites who have worked earnestly to create the pop culture narrative toward “climate change” as a social engineering tool.

The ultimate objective of decades of selling and reinforcing this narrative is a secondary global financial market based on ‘carbon-trading’ to create, essentially, a new financial exchange similar to the futures market on Wall Street.  Once established the exchange can use purchases and sells of ‘carbon credits’ to generate a new global oligarchy.
Their unified goal (for decades) has been to create an entirely new secondary financial market where global elites can control all human activity beneath their ruling dictates.  The essence of pushing the various “climate change” initiatives are simply tools to achieve this objective, nothing more.

This is still just, well, too funny.  The media are carrying a live-feed pool video of the Trump Tower lobby again as the interest on the comings and goings continues.  There are dozens of reporters staged in the lobby and the pool camera is focused on the elevators.
