In the continuing saga showcasing the mountain of evidence exemplifying the insufferable disconnect from the elites who control the legislative agenda of DC, the head weasel stands up to opine. 
During a U.S. Chamber of Commerce meeting in Washington DC, President Tom Donohue outlines how his constituency is flummoxed by this Trump person they keep hearing of.  Who is he? and what does this mean for the $300+ million they have paid congress for passage of the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, they ask…..

[…]  U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said that his members are scratching their heads and searching for answers about how the billionaire businessman would operate if he wins the White House in November.
“I hear mostly concern from our members,” Donohue told reporters during a trade briefing at the Chamber in Washington.
Donohue said he hears questions like, “Who is this guy? What do we know about him? How will he behave?”

Yesterday House Speaker Paul Ryan threw elbows toward the successful insurgent candidacy of Donald Trump by openly stating his refusal to support the presumptive nominee.
From a review of Mr. Trump’s statements in the aftermath of the Ryan commentary it appears no-one, including those closest to Paul Ryan, were anticipating the remarks.  Ryan was essentially stating an opinion that Donald Trump needed to change his positions and come to heel around the perspectives, opinions and policies of Ryan himself.

Obviously the position of Ryan, vis-à-vis demanding Trump acquiesce and rebuke his own platform, is a ridiculous assertion.  However, given the legislative priorities expressed by Speaker Ryan, fundamentally Ryan didn’t have much choice.  Yet the position of Mr. Trump is the stronger hand.  Indeed Donald Trump has campaigned against the entire construct of Ryan’s agenda – and he won.
From the most accurate interpretation of the events that followed Ryan’s remarks, Mr. Trump reached out to RNC Chairman Reince Preibus to state his strong disappointment at being blindsided by Ryan’s statement.   Preibus and Ryan are life-long friends since childhood in Wisconsin.

Several years ago we first began pointing to the presidential election of 2016 as a grandly constructed enterprise of financial global entities.  Toward that end point we began to outline the strategic global players who were spending tens of millions lobbying congress for Wall Street’s global financial interests.
The conversation is vastly to expansive in scope for any reasonable encapsulation. Indeed our archives from the past four years are filled with reports and warnings about how all of the Wall Street financial interests -as they relate to the 2016 election- would ultimately boil down to global trade and commerce pacts like the Trans-Pacific Trade deal (TPP), and the Trans-Atlantic Trade deal (TTIP).

Globally, the economic wealth of massive corporate financial banks and financial institutions is dependent on the continual nudging toward the ratification of these trade pacts.  There are trillions at stake as the derivative markets are also tied to hedged bets on the outcomes.
Global trade is approximately $75 trillion annually.  However, the Wall Street derivatives market, which are essentially bets placed within this entire financial construct, now account for more than $500 trillion. (more…)

A bold BBC reporter confronted President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron over Obama’s trip to England to support Cameron in his attempts to block Britain from exiting the European Union.

Thank you, Mr. President. You’ve made your views very plain on the fact that British voters should choose to stay in the E.U. But in the interest of good friends always being honest, are you also saying that our decades-old special relationship, that’s been through so much, would be fundamentally damaged and changed by our exit? If so, how? And are you also, do you have any sympathy with people who think this is none of your business?

As you can see from the response(s), deflection became the instantaneous retort.

President Obama is fast-tracking the import of Syrian Islamists prior to the end of his administration.  Simultaneous to the State Department’s heightened activity video now surfaces of the Islamists blending their cultural jihad with the nice people of France.

(Via The Hill) The State Department is hoping to bring an average of nearly 1,500 Syrian refugees to the United States per month in order to meet President Obama’s target of settling 10,000 refugees in the country by September. About 1,300 refugees have already been placed in the United States since Obama first made the commitment in September.
That’s far fewer than those taken in by European countries such as Germany, who has dealt with an unprecedented wave of migrants fleeing Syria’s civil war, as well as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. (more…)

Somewhat quietly, though not without some water-cooler discussion, the Republican Party Leadership is warning membership to stay away from the upcoming Cleveland Ohio convention.
The media is describing the issue as centering around those elected politicians who may want to avoid the potential for divisive controversy.  However, if you look at the actual landscape, and then look at the political ideology of those who are openly saying they are staying away, what you’ll notice is the RINO caucus, the ‘Decepticons’, are the most cautious.

If you spend some time digging through the professional GOPe messaging, what you’ll note is the party leadership seems fully aware something very dangerous might just come to fruition.  Not dangerous in a violent way per se’, but rather dangerous in a very political and contentious way; there’s very good reason for this.

A “conflict of interest” (COI) is a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial interests, personal or other interests, one or more of which could possibly influence the motivation of the individual or organization.

A person or entity avoids a conflict of interest by:

• a.) not engaging in activity that might be conflicted by a duality of interest, or
• b.) disclosing the potential conflict – allowing associated parties to be aware and decide independently if the conflict is influencing behavior.

In essence, when presented with a potential conflict of interest, be truthful and provide full disclosure.
If unsure, err on the side of full transparency, and do so as soon as the conflict presents – don’t wait.
This becomes the generally accepted best ethical practice to avoid potential issues that may arise as a consequence of conflicted interest; especially financial conflicts.
♦ Recently, the financial payments by political entities upon media personalities has created quite a stir.  When CTH revealed (from FEC filings) financial payments by Political Action Committees to media pundit Erick Erickson (and others), the response was to besmirch CTH for revealing the payments.

We’ve been waiting to write an outline regarding the “Panama Papers”, because one of the more interesting aspects in the distribution is how the sources within  the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung refused to share the massive file of information with the New York Times.
Instead, Süddeutsche Zeitung shared the data through an International Consortium of Investigative Journalists with the including the Guardian and the BBC.
Here’s a brief outline of first batch details: (more…)

The New York Times, via Patrick Healy is pushing/promoting an article intended to demoralize the Bernie Sanders supporters in advance of the Wisconsin Primary tomorrow.

Don’t let the bastards wear you down !

The goal of the NYT article is pure legacy media corporate political psy-ops directly intended to diminish support for your candidate.  See it for what it is and don’t allow Healy and the MSM corporatists who operate on behalf of the UniParty to get under your skin.
Notice how a very notorious, and well known (to us), media political operative is pushing the story: (more…)
