Forget President Obama breaking 40 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct talks with Iran…. forget that.
Forget President Obama breaking 50 years of U.S. diplomatic policy and engaging in direct political relationships with the communists in Cuba…. forget that too.
The Donald took a phone call from the President of Taiwan.

OMG Yikes, Stop The Presses !!

Quick, cue the Dobbs:

Repost – Donald Trump took a congratulatory phone call from the President of Taiwan, and now the Chinese will be apoplectic.

I have been reluctant to engage in speculation over potential Secretary of State candidates because the discussion therein is fraught with far too many nuances to outline succinctly without walking ourselves through a mine-field almost too complex to digest.
Suffice to say, anyone who has followed politics for any substantive amount of time knows the inherent issue with an operational entity, The U.S. State Department, whose entire mission has been at the epicenter of ctrl-left globalist advocacy.

One small example would be the Rivkin Project. Imagine how challenging it would be to take an organizational model, built over decades, and appoint a leader whose diplomatic mission would be to implement/construct policy entirely antithetical to the objectives of the participants within the organization?
Think about it.

Prior to the 2016 election President Obama used his parseltongue to encourage illegal aliens to break federal law and vote in the presidential election:

Today, Donald Trump pointed out the illegal alien voting issue:

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016

According to a recent research study as many as 2.8 million illegal aliens voted in 2008 and 2012.  Full pdf below:
[excerpt] …”How many non-citizen votes were likely cast in 2008? Taking the most conservative estimate (those who both said they voted and cast a verified vote) yields a confidence interval based on sampling error between 0.2% and 2.8% for the portion of non-citizens participating in elections.

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.

Those who enjoy the deep weeds of politics, especially White Hat/Black Hat intrigue, will find this Reuters Story popcorn worthy.

The Back Story – Admiral Michael Rogers, not to be confused with former House Intel Chair Rep. Mike Rogers, is the Director of the NSA (National Security Agency) and U.S. Cyber Command.
Admiral Michael Rogers met with President-Elect Trump, somewhat quietly, last week (Thursday).

It has been reported that Admiral Rogers did not inform his “superiors” of the meeting with President-Elect Trump. President Obama is out of the country. Def Sec Ash Carter and DNI Chair James Clapper, both loyalists to President Obama, do not necessarily align with Admiral Rogers (they would also be the “superiors” per se’).
Many pixels are still needed to bring clarity to the picture. However, reasonable spidey senses indicate the libertarian sensibility side (smaller intrusion of government, less snooping and more freedom liberty etc) of President-Elect Trump (think R and R Mercer here too) is antithetical to those who made the Patriot Act a hammer instead of a scalpel.

In what appears to be a transparent effort to allow unchecked border crossing in the final two month of his presidency, President Obama’s DHS has shut down the aerial surveillance program.  Texas Governor Greg Abott goes one step further saying President Obama is doing everything he can to “open the border” for illegals…

(Via Watchdog) The U.S. Department of Homeland Security quietly shut down Operation Phalanx, an aerial surveillance program that intercepts drugs and illegal crossings along the Mexican border.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, vows to challenge DHS’s move, saying Congress provided “full funding” for 2017.  Cuellar, a member of the House Appropriations Committee and the Homeland Security Subcommittee, is drafting a letter to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson protesting the shutdown.

President Obama held a press conference today with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and fielded questions about the 2016 presidential election.  Within the optics and the presented narrative it is possible to find evidence of the globalist’s perspective on the loss, and more importantly their intents moving forward.  Very Rivkin-esque.
Within the EU Merkel is the defacto representative of the continent’s globalist vision; as such when President Obama and Merkel appear together you will always find the epicenter of globalist advocacy – the direct opposition of nationalism.

For the optics note Obama’s grey hair exhibition.  One of the indicators of his preferred approach is how he chooses to present his personal image to the EU audience. When done by design, Obama always draws attention to it – today is no different.
There are many responses within the overall Merkel/Obama event which should be keenly understood by all Americans.  However, this response within this specific video (soundbite below) is a good summation: (more…)

Most Americans cannot fathom how fundamentally earth-shattering the Donald Trump administrative architecture is to the professional political class.

“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones”

~ Niccolò Machiavelli

Almost every American understands the existence of a corrupt DC UniPary apparatus because they feel the consequences daily.   However, most do not fully understand the cause of that corruption because it has become so deep-rooted and systemic.

There are multiple stories surfacing about the President-Elect Trump transition team rebuking donors and lobbyists from influence – HERE and HERE – but it cannot be overstated just how devastating this concept is to the thousands of professional political affiliates dependent on generational scheme and graft; including corporate media.
For decades the Wall Street legislative priorities have starved the middle class to the benefit of Corporate Wall Street’s own indulgence.  The reversal of this process is literally threatening their existence and removing trillions of dollars from their control.

If you were wondering just how massive the potential scope and long-term impact of a Trump victory might be, well, things just got even better/bigger.

In 2008 the DNC made a specific decision to go all-in with full throated radicalism and left-wing ideological moonbattery.   The social justice warriors took over the advocacy reins of the Democrat party.  Progressive purity was the litmus, climate and social justice was the cause celeb.  Obama was the vehicle, emotion drives the brand.

During the CBS 60 Minutes interview recorded on Friday afternoon, CBS correspondent Lesly Stahl badgered President-Elect Donald Trump about the false MSM narrative of Trump supporters intimidating people:

Lesley Stahl: Do you want to say anything to those people?
Donald Trump: I would say don’t do it, that’s terrible, ‘cause I’m gonna bring this country together.
Lesley Stahl: They’re harassing Latinos, Muslims–
Donald Trump: I am so saddened to hear that. And I say, “Stop it.” If it– if it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it.

Setting aside the ridiculous line of questioning, the issue surfaced: if the media was so concerned about Trump supporter violence, then why didn’t CBS release this interview segment on Friday evening instead of the ObamaCare segment they released?
Within the answer to that question you find out how the media constructs their manipulative narratives. (more…)
