USA: Mission – Make Hillary President – Is Trump A Loose Cannon?

Yesterday I re-blogged two article’s suggesting that Donald Trump announced his candidacy as a ruse to help Hillary Clinton secure the title of President of The United States. When a friend first emailed me a link to the article by J.K. Trotter published in the Gawker, I brushed it off as too far-fetched.

However, I recently changed my mind, and I will explain why I doubt Donald Trump’s campaign started as a legit quest for the presidency.

In his own commentary Trump admits people just want to see “how far this goes“, referring of course to his antics, rants, and outright bigotry. If this is the case, then yes, that is correct Donald; you are just like a horrific car accident that everybody slows down to stare at (in a morbid visual search for casualties).

That is my reaction to Donald Trump every time I see him in the news, except he is more like a train wreck that just keeps on crashing, one wagon at a time, and I can’t stop watching, and wondering when the disaster known as the ‘Trump For President Campaign‘ will reach its last baggage wagon?

Donald Trump wrote an open letter to the Onion, published on July 21, 2015. In which he TRiUMPhantly announced, “Admit it: You people want to see just how far this goes, don’t you?” [ 01 ]

He basically calls every person in the United States who watches him on television an idiot.

Trump begins his statement: “”The latest polls are out, and just as I predicted, I’m leading the Republican presidential race by a wide margin. You might be wondering how that could be. After all, it’s hardly been a month since I entered the field and I’ve already alienated America’s largest immigrant population, seen dozens of my high-profile business deals implode one after the other, and publicly insulted a national hero’s military service, all while not offering a single viable policy idea.

“But none of that matters at all, and my candidacy continues to surge forward, because none of you—not a single one of you—can look away. Not even for a second.”

Wow. Just wow.

Donald Trump: how I saved the world speech bubble. alistairreignblog.comHe continues: “Sure, you can say you oppose me or that you don’t even take me seriously. But let me ask you: How many articles have you read about Ted Cruz lately? How many news segments have you watched on Bobby Jindal? Or Rand Paul?

“But if those stories have the name “Donald Trump” in them, well, look who suddenly can’t get enough.”

 Megalomaniac or Propaganda Genius?

Donald Trump greets his fans while on campaign. AlistairReignBlog.com“Don’t look me in the eye and tell me you don’t want to stick around and see what that looks like, because you and I both know these [campaign] ads are going to be absolutely incredible. I’ll be standing there projecting my best presidential air, saying “I’m Donald Trump, and I approve this message,” and you won’t be able to take your eyes off it. I can tell you’re practically salivating right now.

And I’m going to keep riding this fascination, this little fixation you have with me as far as you’ll take me. You know I will.“”

With that being read, I continue my discourse.

I suppose one could argue that the timing of Donald Trump’s announcement as a Republican candidate on June 16, 2015 is mere coincidence that it coincided with Hillary Clinton’s email scandal being reviewed in the courts. Setting that piece of information aside, consider the following observations I have made which bring me to doubt that a man as pampered as The Donald actually wants the 24/7 exhausting job as Commander and Chief, President of the United States.

1). Donald was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Trump is a son of Fred Trump, a successful New York City real estate developer. While living in a two-story mock Tudor home on Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates.[22] Trump attended the private Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills, Queens, where Fred Trump, Donald’s father, was a member of the Board of Trustees.

2). Donald dodged fighting for his country.

Trump came of age for the draft during the Vietnam War. Trump was deemed fit for service after a military medical examination in 1966 and was briefly classified as 1-A by a local draft board shortly before his 1968 medical disqualification.[31] Trump attributed his medical deferment to “heel spurs” in both feet, according to a 2015 biographer,[25] but told an Iowa campaign audience he suffered from a spur in one foot, though he could not remember which one.[31]

3). Donald has never had to look for a job.

Trump began his career at his father’s real estate company,[32] Elizabeth Trump and Son. Trump worked for his father’s firm while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and officially joined the company in 1968 upon graduation. In 1971, he was given control of the company, renaming it The Trump Organization. He remains a major figure in United States real estate and a media celebrity

4). Donald’s visions of grandeur often fail.

Four of Trump’s businesses have declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[224] According to a report by Forbes in 2011, these were the result of over-leveraged hotel and casino businesses in Atlantic City: Trump’s Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza Hotel (1992), Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009). He indicated that other “great entrepreneurs” do the same.[225]

Trumps of New York are movin’ on up… as First Family of America.

Donald looks lecherous standing next to his beautiful daughter and trophy wife. alistairreignblog.com
Donald Trump looking a wee bit creepy posing with his glamorous daughter, trophy child-bride, and son (that handsome little guy is sure to be a heart breaker).

My point being, that no way does Trump want to carry the weight of responsibility, nor does he intend on working the long hours required of the president.

He is said to hold conference calls with senior staff as late as 11 p.m. and reads or writes before heading to bed. In a 2011 interview with Newsweek, Obama calls himself a 'night owl' and describes his typical evening: 'Have dinner with the family, hang out with the kids, and put them to bed about 8:30 p.m. And then I'll probably read briefing papers or do paperwork or write stuff until about 11:30 p.m., and then I usually have about a half hour to read before I go to bed ... about midnight, 12:30 a.m. -- sometimes a little later.'
Barack holds conference calls as late as 11 pm. Evenings are family dinner, time with kids, puts kids to bed 8:30 pm… reads briefing papers, does paperwork to 11:30 pm., reads for 1/2 hour, to bed at 12:30 am. (Photo/credit: Business Insider)

Donald’s commentary continues to taunt the American people.

You absolutely want to know who I’d pick [running mate]. A defeated GOP challenger who hates my guts? Another lunatic billionaire? Maybe my own son, Donald Trump Jr.? Whatever your wildest expectation is, I promise you I will surpass it. You’re not going to pass up an opportunity to see that, are you?

“I can tell you’re practically salivating right now. And I’m going to keep riding this fascination, this little fixation you have with me as far as you’ll take me. You know I will.”

Here come’s the clincher comment.

So don’t try to tell me you’d be just as happy to watch one of these other bozos go toe-to-toe with Hillary Clinton...

“Don’t think it’s true? Fine. You know what you have to do to make me go away. Just quit paying attention. Stop reading this right now.”

Note how he adds the sentence to stop reading his letter – at the end of the letter – I call this a “Classic Trumpism”.

Donald is a game decoy, gone rogue.

“I have the power to make the next 16 months one of the most incredible times in our nation’s history, and not a single one of you can say you’re not at least a little bit curious to see how this wild ride shakes out. So just keep clicking every link that mentions my name and hitting play on every clip of my public appearances, and I promise you will not be disappointed.”

Well Donald, now you are wrong, the world is very disappointed in you.

You have single handily destroyed the respect the world held for the position of the President Of The United States. A position once treated with the reverence it deserved, is now a joke because Donald Trump has shown people that even a bigoted, disrespectful, hot head can be in the leading. This is the point where I believe the original plan to have Trump throw the Republican’s off their game, has back fired on the Clinton clan.

Trump may now be a rogue agent. 

Not surprisingly, I would say that once The Donald had basked in this much spotlight, there is no way he is going to exit stage left on cue. The end result may still place Hillary in the presidential position by default – de fault of the uneducated masses easily distracted by shinny objects, and confused by Classic Trumpisms.

Mission Impossible?

Bernie is picking up speed.. “Go Bernie! Go Bernie! Feel the Bern.

USA: Is Donald Trump A Hillary Clinton Operative?

Please, don’t get me wrong. I’m enjoying the circus Donald is creating as much as the next person. He is causing an uproar in the Republican Party and they deserve it. The Republican Party is a party of traitorous scumbags, but so is the Democratic Party. I’ll say it again, I’m not excited about ANY of these candidates in either party.

Maryanne Trump Barry (born April 5, 1937) is a Senior United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She is the daughter of real estate developer Fred Trump and Mary MacLeod Trump and the older sister of real estate/entertainment magnate Donald Trump… appointed by none other than… BILL CLINTON.

(Photo/credit: The Daily Sheeple).

So, having said that, I just happen to find Donald the most entertaining and when he says something so true about the problems of illegal immigration, then I’m going to laugh and pass that on. HOWEVER, Donald Trump is likely as phony as a three dollar bill. He is a con artist extraordinaire, a showman, an ACTOR.

Here is a great article every Trump supporter needs to read. Before reading this I was not aware of Mr. Trump’s deep ties to the Clintons. Read it and decide for yourself before you put up any signs for him. Also, much of Trump’s politics is unknown and some of what is known is patently unconstitutional.

If you ask me, “David, who do you trust to lead this nation among the candidates?” I’d say, “NO ONE.

“Saving America?” No, Donald Trump Is a Clinton Operative by Melissa Dykes at The Daily Sheeple.

“”It’s been pretty shocking that people are actually walking around talking about how Donald Trump is going to “Save America”. If you ever needed a sign that the country is lost, that’s gotta be it.But worse is the fact that Trump is so obviously a Clinton plant and people just ignore the facts because right now he’s “telling it like it is”.

“More like he’s tell you what you want to hear at a time when people are desperate to hear any truth coming out of the American political-industrial complex.First of all, if anyone ever had half a chance in Hell of changing anything in this country, rest assured The Powers That Shouldn’t Be would not let that person anywhere near the Oval Office. The last time this country had a president that tried to change things, that person got his brains blown out in front of the entire country.

“But here’s what actually going on. Hillary Clinton’s private email server woes are not going away, just like the Clinton camp surely had an inkling they wouldn’t. Back in mid-March, The New York Post reported that Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s senior adviser, purposefully leaked details regarding Hillary Clinton’s private email to the press through people outside the White House in order so that the leak couldn’t be directly traced back to the administration.The scandal bomb, as I reported then, was perfectly timed just before Hillary’s announcement to run as president. Everyone knew by that point that Hillary could  announce her run at any time. And she did, just weeks later, officially announce her bid for president on April 12, 2015.

So how does this all connect to Trump?

Knowing the email scandal wouldn’t go away, the Clinton camp needed a big distraction. So what did they do?

They phoned a friend. In late May, Bill Clinton had a private conversation with his good friend, Donald Trump just before Trump decided to run himself.

Now why would a good friend of the Clintons pose himself as opposition like that?

And I do mean good friend. Here are the Clintons at his wedding in 2005:

Pretty cozy group, huh?

Trump has also donated to the Clinton Foundation, a point that hasn’t gone unnoticed by people like Senator Rand Paul. Yeah, about that:

I gave to many people before this,” Trump said at the debate today. “When they call, I give. And you know what, when I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me.

(And surely, vice versa… I’ll pat your back, you pat mine. Let’s continue:)

His comments came in response to an attack from rival Sen. Rand Paul.

You’ve donated to several Democratic candidates. You explained away those donations saying you did that to get business-related affairs,” Paul said. “And you said recently, quote, ‘when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.’

You better believe it,” Trump responded. (source)

But Trump now claims that he just invited the Clintons to his wedding — where they sat in the front row — and they only came and took those schmoozy pictures together simply because he donated. Uh huh. Sure.

Is that why, in 2008, Trump was quoted as saying,“I’m a big fan of Hillary. She’s a terrific woman. She’s a friend of mine. I think she was treated very poorly and I think it’s hurt Barack Obama quite badly. She’s a terrific woman.

So she’s not just a terrific woman, but he’s a big fan and she’s a friend of his… and again, because he repeated it, she’s a terrific woman.

In fact, Trump went on to say the only reason he endorsed McCain in 2008 is because Obama did not choose Hillary as his Vice President.

Trump and Clinton went golfing together in 2008.

Later, on a CNN appearance, he expanded on his opinion of Hillary and Bill: “Hillary’s a great friend of mine. Her husband is a great friend of mine. They’re fantastic people. I mean, they’re — you know, the thing, they get a bad knock. She’s a very nice woman. People think, tough, tough. And I guess she’s tough, but she’s a very nice woman. And he’s a very nice guy. We know all about the smarts and how smart they are, and all, but they are good people.”

Let’s see… Bill’s a “great” friend, Hillary is a “great” friend, terrific (x2), they’re fantastic people, she’s very nice, they are smart and “good” people. Wow. Gee, what a glowing review.

But again, we’re supposed to believe they are just loose, casual acquaintances and the only reason he invited Hillary and Bill to his wedding was because he donated to their foundation? (An accusation that he later went on TV and backpeddled on after it came out Hillary’s feelings were hurt? He later said he was just joking about paying her foundation so she’d come to his wedding, saying it was “very nice” that the Clintons went.)

.So I guess it’s also just a lark that Trump has changed parties five times since the 80s and donated over half a million to Democrats, including to the likes of Rahm Emmanuel and Senator Harry Reid.

This is all about having big friends in high places. Trump didn’t become a billionaire without making friends like that. That’s how the American oligarchy works.

On top of that, if you look at Trump’s politics — what he has supported on the record until now when he’s in the GOP spotlight, he doesn’t even seem like much of a Republican.

Now he’s talking about things like the 14th Amendment is unconstitutional and if he becomes president he will build a wall that spans the entire Southern border and force the Mexican government to pay for it. But that’s not what he was saying just a few years ago on Bill O’Reilly’s show:

Donald Trump: The biggest problem is that you have some great, wonderful people coming in from Mexico that are working the crops, they’re working cutting lawns, they’re doing a lot of jobs that I’m not sure that a lot of Americans are going to take those jobs. And that’s the dichotomy. That’s the big problem because you have a lot of great people coming in doing a lot of work, and I’m not so sure that a lot of other people are going to be doing that work. So, it is a very tough problem, but I do say this, you have a law, or at least you have to establish a law, and I guess we’re sort of a country and other people aren’t supposed to be coming into our country illegally.

Bill O’Reilly: Now, the 15 million illegal aliens already in the United States, what do you do with them?

Donald Trump: I think right now you’re going to have to do something. It’s hard to generalize, but you’re going to have to look at the individual people, see how they’ve done, see how productive they’ve been, see what their references are, and then make a decision.

Bill O’Reilly: All right, on a case-by-case—going to take a long time and a lot of people.

Donald Trump: A long time, but you know, you have some great, productive people that came. You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. It used to be 11 million. Now, today I hear it’s 11, but I don’t think it’s 11. I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that. (source)

Trump is also a big fan of eminent domain:

Donald Trump: Everybody coming into Atlantic City sees that property, and it’s not fair to Atlantic City and the people. They’re staring at this terrible house instead of staring at beautiful fountains and beautiful other things that would be good.

John Stossel:Basic to freedom is that if you own something, it’s yours, that the government doesn’t just come and take it away from you.

Donald Trump: Do you want to live in the city where you can’t build schools? Do you want to live in the city where you can’t build roads or highways or have access to hospitals? Condemnation is a necessary evil.

John Stossel: But you’re not talking about a hospital. You’re talking about a building a rich guy finds ugly.

Ooh, smells like freedom from big government, doesn’t it?

Back on the Clintons, did I forget to mention that Trump is also pro socialized medicine? At least, that’s what he told Larry King years ago:

  • “So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.”

Here’s Trump specifically praising Hillary’s plans for health care in 2007:

  • “I think it was very good. I think she came out with an idea. It’s a very, very complex set of things going on right now in terms of healthcare. But she came out with an idea, it sounds like a pretty good idea, and a lot of people like it and embraced it. And she learned a lot from her previous encounter,” Trump said.

So that whole Obamacare thing… yeah, about that. He can promise all day now that he’d do away with it, but if Trump actually got anywhere near the White House, would that law really be going anywhere any time soon?

This list could go on and on and on. People are only hearing what they want to hear.

  • Again… Trump fans, are you listening??? He is literally telling people only what they want to hear.

Be willfully blind if you want to, but that “hope and change” thing hasn’t worked out so good in the past. At the very least, the guy is a total flip flopper, but worse, if you look into Trump’s actual political history, he’s looking more and more like a Clinton operative all the time.

And considering the Clintons are really just an extension of the Bush camp anyway and vice versa, two arms of the same beast, you know, what with Bill Clinton saying that George H. W. was like a surrogate father and George W. like a “brother from another mother,” that would make all kinds of sense why in July, Bill reassured Jeb, “a lot of this Trump thing will be taken care of during your debates, if not sooner.

The only reason he isn’t gone yet since the first debate is that Hillary’s server situation has gotten worse. The distraction continues…

Bill knows that when Hillary gets out of the hot water over this server mess and Trump’s duty is done, Trump will fade back out of the spotlight, having stolen (and wasted) a bunch of the country’s time. And Bill can say that with near certainty. Why?

Bill’s phone call to Trump back in May arranged this whole dog and pony show in the first place.

There were only ever going to be two actual choices in this election, as we’ve been reporting for a long time now. You get a Bush or a Clinton. Period. These are your dynasty families, America.

The country was bought and sold a long time ago. It’s gone. Sorry if the truth hurts, but Donald Trump can’t save you from that.””

Nevada Governor Website: Is Donald Trump A Hillary Clinton Operative?

USA: Is Donald Running a False Flag Campaign for Hillary?

Donald Trump, the 69-year-old New York real estate mogul and unrepentant bigot, is still dominating the Republican presidential primary polls. Trump’s sudden ascendance, accelerated by his willingness to insult virtually any ostensible ally within the conservative movement, has left GOP leaders dumbfounded.

Trump and Hillary as one silly donkey
I am not sure which end is which, does it really matter?

How did this caricature of a Republican politician, who has never held elected office, and whose personal ideology is remarkably fluid, usurp more experienced, more conservative, and better-funded candidates like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker?

Within this vacuum of understanding, an almost-believable conspiracy theory has obtained currency: Donald Trump is in fact a false flag candidate whose actual mission is electing Hillary Clinton as President.

To understand the contours of this theory, it’s helpful to understand where it came from. A Google search suggests the first person to remark upon Trump’s indirect assistance to Clinton was the anti-war activist and “conservative-paleo-libertarian” Justin Raimondo. In a long blog post dated July 13—just a few days after Trump stole Jeb Bush’s lead—Raimondo argued that the timing of Trump’s entry into the presidential race, which the candidate had long hinted at but until this year never followed through on, could only be explained by a hidden “Democratic wrecking operation” designed to assist Clinton’s parallel campaign:

[Trump’s] ties to the Clintons, his past pronouncements which are in such blatant contradiction to his current fulminations, and the cries of joy from the Clintonian gallery and the media (or do I repeat myself) all point to a single conclusion: the Trump campaign is a Democratic wrecking operation aimed straight at the GOP’s base.

Donald Trump is a false-flag candidate. It’s all an act, one that benefits his good friend Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party that, until recently, counted the reality show star among its adherents. Indeed, Trump’s pronouncements—the open racism, the demagogic appeals, the faux-populist rhetoric—sound like something out of a Democratic political consultant’s imagination, a caricature of conservatism as performed by a master actor.

The idea that Trump is running an elaborate interference campaign on behalf of Hillary Clinton may sound absurd. But there is enough truth to Raimondo’s theory—it makes just enough sense—that it’s already begun to infiltrate, and inform the mainstream voices of, the mainstream Republican Party.

On July 23, for example, the popular conservative writer Allen Ginzburg distilled Raimondo’s argument into a vexing thought experiment: Ginzburg’s tweet has since been retweeted over 400 times (including, earlier this week, by Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto, who serves on the paper’s influential editorial board).

It would, of course, be incredible—and virtually unprecedented in modern American politics—if a major party’s top candidate were to run a campaign for the purpose of electing that party’s most imposing political opponent. So what exactly supports the theory that Trump is such a candidate? Though he has recently rebranded himself as the only Republican brave enough to speak the truth about undocumented immigrants, his past associations and political positions suggest the theory is, if not entirely believable, not exactly implausible, either.

There are three main lines of argument supporting the assertion that Donald Trump is running a false flag campaign:

  1. Trump cannot possibly be considered either a Republican or a conservative, once you account for his apparent political beliefs (many of which are remarkably liberal) and concrete policy proposals (or lack thereof).
  2. Trump has close ties to both Hillary and Bill Clinton, and has in fact donated to her and other Democrats’ campaigns in the past.
  3. Trump’s apparent intent to run on an independent ticket—should he lose the Republican nomination—indicates he cares more about splitting the Republican vote (essentially insuring the election of a Democratic president) than he does about actually electing Republicans. He also lacks the wherewithal and/or long-term funding to mount a legitimate presidential campaign were he to become the actual Republican nominee.

Two US Reporters, 1 Translator Charged “Terror Ties”

A Turkish court has detained and charged two British journalists and a translator working for a US-based media outlet with links to the Takfiri Daesh terror group.

The ruling on Monday by the court in the Kurdish-dominated city of Diyarbakir in southeastern Turkey came as Vice News reporters, identified as Jake Hanrahan and Philip Pendlebury, were reportedly filming a documentary on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) amid a recent surge of violent clashes between the Kurdish militants and Turkish security forces.

According to the court’s statement, the two reporters and their Iraqi translator, Mohammed Ismael Rasool, were formally charged with “engaging in terror activity” on behalf of the Daesh terrorist group as well as “intentionally aiding an armed organization.”

Syria: Al Qaeda Abducts Five USA-Backed Rebels

BEIRUT: Syria’s al Qaeda affiliate Nusra Front abducted five more rebels believed to have been trained by the United States after raiding areas along the Turkish border in the past 24 hours, a war monitoring group said on Tuesday.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the militant group was now holding a total of 13 men from “Division 30”, a Syrian rebel unit that includes some fighters recently trained by the U.S. military. It was not immediately clear whether the five men abducted overnight had been on the new U.S. military training programme or on an existing, separate CIA-led programme.

On Friday, Nusra Front said in a statement it had detained a number of Syrian rebels trained by the United States and warned any others they should abandon the programme. But the Pentagon said at the time that no members of an initial group of around 60 U.S.-trained rebels had been abducted. The U.S. military launched a programme in May to train up to 5,400 fighters a year in what was seen as a test of Obama’s strategy of getting local partners to combat the hardline Islamic State group in Syria.

The training programme has been challenged from the start, with many candidates being declared ineligible and some even dropping out. On Monday, U.S. officials said one member of this new Syrian force was believed to have been killed in clashes last week with Nusra Front. The al Qaeda wing attacked a rebel compound near Azaz town in Syria on Friday, triggering the first U.S. air strikes to support members of the new Syrian force.

The Observatory, which tracks violence across the country, said at least five members of Division 30 were killed in the clashes that also left at least 25 Nusra Front fighters dead and wounded scores.
