U.S. and Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Sign Joint Peace Agreement – U.S. Military Will Reduce Military Forces…

The United States and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan ( Taliban ) have signed a peace agreement to end the nineteen-year war in Afghanistan .
[ Details Here ] During the signing ceremony Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered the following remarks .
[ Transcript ] – SECRETARY POMPEO : Good afternoon .
I want to start by thanking His Highness Sheikh Tamim for Qatar ’ s invaluable role as host of these historic talks .
His unstinting support , and yours foreign minister , have supported both sides and allowed them to reach this momentous day .
The United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of hostility and mistrust .
Previous talks have faltered .
This effort only became real for the United States when the Taliban signaled interest in pursuing peace and ending their relationship with al-Qaida and other foreign terrorist groups .
They also recognized that military victory was impossible .
I then asked Ambassador Khalilzad to serve as our lead negotiator to gauge the Taliban ’ s sincerity .
The agreement that we will sign today is the true test of this effort .
We will closely watch the Taliban ’ s compliance with their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ withdrawal to their actions .
This is how we will ensure that Afghanistan never again serves as a base for international terrorists .
The negotiation process in Doha , with all of its twists and turns , has shown it is possible for us to take this step together .
Over the past seven days , violence levels have reached their lowest point in the last four years .
U.S. and Afghan forces responded to the reduced enemy attacks by also respecting peace .
It was not perfect , but the Taliban demonstrated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that when they have the will to be peaceful , they can be .
The Afghan people have rejoiced .
They are moving freely about the country to visit family and friends .
They ’ re trading .
They ’ re even dancing in the streets .
But we ’ re just at the beginning .
Furthering the cause of peace will require serious work and sacrifice by all sides – the United States , the coalition , the Taliban , the Afghan Government , other Afghan leaders , and the Afghan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needed to reach a comprehensive , inclusive , and durable peace .
This agreement will mean nothing , and today ’ s good feelings will not last , if we don ’ t take concrete actions on commitments and promises that have been made .
When it comes down to it , the future of Afghanistan is for Afghans to determine .
The U.S.-Taliban deal creates the conditions for Afghans to do just that .
Here ’ s our take .
Here ’ s our take on what steps by the Taliban will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , keep your promises to cut ties with al-Qaida and other terrorists .
Keep up the fight to defeat ISIS .
Welcome the profound relief of all Afghan citizens – men and women , urban and rural – as a result of this past week ’ s massive reduction in violence and dedicate yourselves to continued reductions .
It is this significant de-escalation of violence that will create the conditions for peace , and the absence of it , the conditions and cause for failure .
All Afghans deserve to live and prosper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Afghan Government , other Afghan political leaders , and civil society , and start the difficult conversations on a political roadmap for your country .
Exercise patience , even when there is frustration .
Honor the rich diversity of your country and make room for all views .
Afghan governments have failed because they weren ’ t sufficiently inclusive .
The Afghan Government of 2020 , and indeed the Afghanistan of 2020 , is not the same as in 2001 .
Embrace the historic progress obtained for women and girls and build on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The future of Afghanistan ought to draw on the God-given potential of every single person .
If you take these steps , if you stay the course and remain committed to negotiations with the Afghan Government and other Afghan partners , we and the rest of the international community assembled here today stand ready to reciprocate .
I know there will be a temptation to declare victory .
But victory – victory for Afghans – will only be achieved when they can live in peace and prosper .
Victory for the United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and our allies no longer have to fear a terrorist threat from Afghanistan , and we will do whatever it takes to protect our people .
The United States will press all sides to stay focused on the goal of a peaceful , prosperous , and sovereign Afghanistan and an Afghanistan free of malign foreign interference where all voices and communities are heard and are represented .
This is the only way – this is the only way – a sustainable peace can be achieved .
And for all of us here , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American and Afghan people , this must happen .
Following the official signing ceremony U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held a news conference to discuss details of the peace agreement between Washington and the Taliban .
[ Transcript ] – SECRETARY POMPEO : Good afternoon , everyone .
Today is an historic day for the United States of America and the American people .
Today , we have taken a decisive step toward peace , real peace in Afghanistan .
Just as any worthy journey begins , it is a first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America embarked on a noble mission to mightily pursue the terrorist perpetrators of the September 11th attacks and their evil supporters and to prevent such a heinous attack from ever happening again .
We have achieved great things .
We have ensured Afghanistan isn ’ t a haven for terrorists who can attack us , and we have bettered the lives of Afghan people , for which we are very proud .
Today , political debate in Afghanistan is free and vigorous .
Today , more than 9 million students are enrolled in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ girls .
Today , more than 57 percent of Afghans have access to basic health care , compared to just 9 percent in 2002 .
And al-Qaida – al-Qaida today – is a shadow of its former self .
We have decimated its leadership and now have the Taliban agreeing that al-Qaida must never again find safe haven in Afghanistan .
But just as Afghanistan today isn ’ t the Afghanistan of 2001 , the world of 2020 isn ’ t the world of 2001 either .
Today , the United States faces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even imagined a few years ago , from Iran , from China , from Russia , and elsewhere .
President Trump has recognized this new reality .
He also saw that our sacrifices and gains in Afghanistan and realized the hard truth that a comprehensive , inclusive , durable peace could only be secured by the Afghan people themselves .
Today , we are realistic .
We are seizing the best opportunity for peace in a generation , built on the hard work of our soldiers , diplomats , businessmen , aid workers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Today , we are restrained .
We recognize America shouldn ’ t fight in perpetuity in the graveyard of empires if we can help Afghans forge peace .
And we have respect .
We believe that the Afghan people are ready to chart their own course forward .
Today , following the first ever weeklong break in fighting in nearly 19 years , I am proud to announce that the United States has secured separate commitments from the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Taliban to hold negotiations for peace .
Very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promise from the Taliban that terrorists can never again operate from Afghan soil .
We make no mistake ; the chapter of American history on the Taliban is written in blood that killed many Americans , NATO allies , coalition partners , and many Afghans .
I am just as angry over 9/11 as I was the day I watched al-Qaida knock down the Twin Towers on TV .
Our valiant servicemembers , intelligence warriors , and world-class diplomats who have served in Kandahar and in Helmand and all over Afghanistan know firsthand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I mean exactly .
And we know exactly who we ’ re dealing with .
If the Taliban do not uphold their commitments , President Trump and his team will not hesitate to do what we must do to protect American lives .
If , on the other hand , the Taliban abide by their promises , the United States will undertake a responsible , conditions-based troop withdrawal .
That withdrawal means that our men and women in uniform will incur fewer risks , our financial burden will be eased , and our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a hopeful moment , but it ’ s only the beginning .
There is a great deal of hard work ahead on the diplomatic front .
Finally , let me speak directly to those invested in Afghanistan .
First , to America ’ s military and intelligence warriors , I know that some of you may be on your fifth or sixth tours of duty , maybe even more , far from the comforts of home .
As the CIA director , it was my honor to join you in dealing blow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Many of you wear black and silver bracelets in tribute to your brothers and sisters who died so that your countrymen might live in peace and security .
We will not squander what they and you have won through blood , sweat , and tears .
You ’ ve kept America safe alongside our allies and Afghan partners .
You ’ ve helped give the people of Afghanistan this opportunity for a brighter future .
Second , to our NATO allies and other coalition partners who have sacrificed right alongside of us , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and to all countries which support these agreements to help maintain this nascent peace .
Whether it ’ s Norway or Australia or Japan or any of our other valued friends and partners , we know you share our cautious hope .
To Afghanistan ’ s neighbors , including Pakistan , we thank you for your efforts in helping reach these historic agreements and make clear our expectation that you will continue to do your part to promote a peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan so that the country and region can reap the benefits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Afghan people , this is your moment .
Wars have tortured your country since 1979 .
No more violence .
No more chaos .
We ’ ll listen , listen to the voices of all – young and old , men and women , from every region , from every tribe , from every ethnicity , and from every religion .
Factions will undoubtedly emerge that want to spoil our good work .
We must call them out and reject their schemes for discord .
I ’ ll close by urging all parties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of peace that ’ s found in Scripture : “ Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days , keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies ; turn from evil and do good ; seek peace and pursue it.
” Today , we have sought peace .
We will continue to pursue it .
Thank you , and I am happy to take a few questions .
♦QUESTION : Thank you , Mr. Secretary .
I wanted to know exactly what will make you stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t respect their agreement .
Is it counterterrorism commitments , or is it the outcome of the negotiations , intra-Afghan negotiation , meaning that the timeline for the complete withdrawal is 14 months ?
Would they have to complete an agreement , intra-Afghan agreement by then , or just make progress in their negotiations ?
Thank you .
SECRETARY POMPEO : So we ’ ve spent many months getting to where we are today , and there are a set of interlocking understandings , implementation agreements , that are clearly spelled out .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s been part of this – the Afghan Government , ourselves , the Taliban – understands precisely the commitments that they have made and the response – not only the response about the speed and magnitude of the withdrawal of not only American but coalition forces , but the other elements of support that the United States provide .
We ’ ve made commitments to continue to provide that security assurances for the Afghan Government , but it is our very expectation that the Taliban will live up to their commitments .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ The United States will do whatever it takes to keep the American people safe .
And so to the extent the Taliban fail to live up to their commitments , President Trump is as committed to peace as he is to ensuring that the American people never suffer an attack again from Afghanistan .
MS ORTAGUS : Thanks .
We ’ ll have Qatar TV now , Abdulla Al-Muraiki .
♦QUESTION : ( Via interpreter ) I ’ ll just translate very quick .
How do you — ♦QUESTION : ( Via interpreter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assess the role of Qatar as an ally to the United States in various issues in the region and beyond ?
SECRETARY POMPEO : So the nation of Qatar has been an enormously important partner to get us to this very moment .
When we have hit bumps in the road , they have helped smooth them out .
They have agreed to host a significant piece of the conversations that have taken place that have built out on the set of agreements that you see today .
We appreciate that and we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to meet with the Amir as well as with my counterpart today to thank them for the work that they have done as well as to make clear to them that we have every expectation they will continue to help us as we move along this path towards peace .
They have been great partners in getting to this point , and we ’ re counting on them to continue their efforts to deliver for the Afghan people this enormous opportunity that this moment brings .
♦QUESTION : Thank you , Mr. Secretary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is in Kabul signing a joint declaration with President Ghani , and I am wondering if that means that the U.S. , that you recognize his election victory , because the statement that came out from the State Department said it was noted , but are you recognizing him as the president of Afghanistan going forward ?
And my second question is : Why did you feel the need to be here to be present at the signing today , and why come all the way here and not sign the document @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SECRETARY POMPEO : Yeah , the document was signed by the two gentlemen who had worked so diligently to execute it , who had worked tirelessly , who had sacrificed so much of their time and effort and who ’ d put the real energy into being on the ground to get us to this point .
It was appropriate that the two negotiators , the two senior negotiators , execute the document that they had delivered for the benefit of the Afghan people .
I wanted to be here because this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ historic opportunity .
I served as a soldier .
I know the sacrifices that so many of our young men and women have made in Afghanistan , and I am determined – I am determined – to reduce their risk , to create fewer young men and women who are on their fourth and fifth and six trip to Afghanistan .
I am determined to ensure that there are fewer young men and women sitting at Walter Reed and there are fewer young men and women that never return home to their families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make sure that there is never again a terror attack from Afghanistan .
And I think we now sit on the precipice of a real opportunity , and I want to make sure that I personally do everything that I can to help our State Department get off on the right foot as we begin the difficult diplomatic effort that can lead to this peace that we ’ re seeking .
I talked for a moment about the changes , the transitions that have taken place in Afghanistan during our time there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than it was when the United States went there to seek revenge for what happened in New York on 9/11 .
This country is very different .
We ’ ve done enormous work .
The American people have sacrificed a great deal , not only the blood of our soldiers but resources , time , all of the work that the intelligence teams , our diplomats have done on the ground .
I wanted to be here to express my appreciation for all we have done over these decades and then to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to get this right , to be here to communicate that the United States is committed to helping the Afghans push this process forward .
Your first question really gets to the political process inside of Afghanistan .
We ’ re going to need every Afghani to join in .
I talked about this in my remarks .
They ’ re all going to have to be committed .
They ’ re all going to understand there is something far bigger than being about themselves .
They ’ ve got to deliver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people want peace .
You can see it .
If you saw the pictures , Christina , from this week , it was glorious to watch Afghan people walking through the streets – they haven ’ t been able to do that – to see them dancing and celebrating peace .
The Afghan people are thirsting for the very opportunity that we have now presented to them , and every Afghan leader needs to look deep into their soul and deliver this peace for Afghanistan .
It is time .
The opportunity is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have commitments from the Taliban to break with al-Qaida .
This is historic .
They need to live up to those commitments .
They ’ ve made commitments to continue to reduce the violence level .
They need to live up to those commitments .
When they do that , they will find that there is opportunity in this place , that the international community is demanding that Afghanistan be a peaceful place , and the Afghan people richly deserve the opportunity that has been created today .
And I wanted to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all very much for being with me today .

Pete Buttigieg, aka Alfred E. Newman, has suspended his bid for the Presidency.
…”a person briefed on Mr. Buttigieg’s plans said on Sunday, following a crushing loss in the South Carolina primary where his poor performance with black Democrats signaled an inability to build a broad coalition of voters.” (link)
The move to drop out makes sense within the most likely Club pattern to support Joe Biden. Buttigieg drops out now ahead of Super-Tuesday allowing less fragmentation of the vote. It will be interesting to see if he follows a Club plan to endorse Joe Biden because Buttigieg previously wrote high praise for Bernie Sanders.
Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar will stay-in to block Bernie’s delegate count in Massachusetts and Minnesota respectively (both states vote on Super Tuesday). Klobuchar will likely drop-out after Tuesday. Warren might follow.

Steve Bannon Discusses China and Coronavirus as an Economic Contagion – The Prescience of The Trump Doctrine…

Steve Bannon discusses the Chinese Coronavirus as an economic contagion and how the Trump economic security doctrine applies to the current downstream impacts .
Even before the Coronavirus surfaced in China there was lower manufacturing factory activity within the Chinese economy .
The necessary response within China to control the spread of the Coronavirus was to shut down most commerce .
Factories , schools & businesses throughout China were impacted as various containment measures took hold .
Despite the intense doomsayer predictions surrounding the ‘ Coronavirus as an economic contagion ’ narrative , the U.S. economy remains strong .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is important to remember 80 percent of all activity within the U.S. is internal .
We create and consume eighty percent of our own production .
The Coronavirus issue hits on three main points of policy outlined by President Trump since his initial announcement of candidacy in 2015 : ( 1 ) The need for secure borders and strong immigration controls .
( 2 ) The need to stop reliance on Chinese manufacturing ; and ( 3 ) The need for the U.S. to have independent control over key sectors of manufacturing ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a matter of national security .
The U.S. economy is unique in the amount of balance within it as compared to other industrial economies .
We are not dependent on exports to sustain our economy ; and we are not dependent on any imports at the macro level .
Unlike China , Asia and Europe , and despite decades of efforts by globalists and multinationals , the U.S. generates and sustains a tremendous amount of our own economic prosperity .
The January data : The Bureau of Economic Analysis ( BEA ) revealed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .5 % , personal income increases .6 % , consumer spending at .2 % ; overall U.S. savings at $ 1.33 trillion , and low inflation at 1.7 percent year-over-year .
Solid and stable .
Both consumer spending ( +.2 Jan ) and inflation ( 1.6 % Jan ) were impacted by lower energy prices ( -.7 % ) & mild weather in January .
Reuters spins the lower rate of spending growth to imply a contracting U.S. consumer ; there is no data to support that narrative .
The Commerce Department said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to $ 65.5 billion in January .
Goods imports tumbled 2.2 % last month and exports dropped 1.0 % .
This is not necessarily surprising as manufacturing companies have started more long-term supply chain changes in the latter part of last year .
Obviously economic activity in China is severely impacted by the Coronavirus issues .
The level of their impact is not yet quantified ; however , any economic contraction within China can have impacts on downstream economies based on their level of dependency .
As an example the European economy is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ products and for Beijing to purchase industrial goods from the EU .
The EU focus on climate change ( to the exclusion of their own economic interests ) created a scenario where they strongly curtailed manufacturing of some dirty industrial goods ( ex .
steel ) and instead started to purchase more of their needs from China .
As a result of these EU political decisions ; and within this EU process ; the pollution was shifted away from Europe along with the production .
However , the outcome is their dependency on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Beijing sneezes the EU economy catches a cold .
Conversely , the EU is also an export driven economy .
Over the past decade EU leaders gave China preferential treatment due to their ‘ dirty product ’ import needs .
China is now a big purchaser of EU products… and when China slows purchasing , again the EU feels the impact more severely .
The U.S. economy is more balanced .
As a consumer economy we consume our own production and we have the resources to produce just about everything we need .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is specifically focused to keep this advantage in place ; and actually grow the advantage of our natural economic disposition by returning production of major goods prior administrations watch go overseas .
The impact to the overall U.S. economy , from Coronavirus as an economic contagion , is far less than all other industrial economies .
However , the impact to U.S. multinationals ( Wall St ) who are dependent on global transactions , trade & manufacturing , is disproportionate .
Under America-First it was always U.S. manufacturers , those who do business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saw the greatest benefit .
U.S. owned companies doing majority business overseas ( ie .
Wall Street multinationals ) do not gain as much advantage under the America-First programs .
The same is true now with a global economic contagion .
Within a global economic contagion the U.S. companies who rely on the internal American economic cycle to produce , sell and receive income are safe .
Our internal economy is strong .
However , the U.S. multinational companies are again at risk… .
hence the stock market .

Coronavirus As An Economic Contagion
Steve Bannon discusses the Chinese Coronavirus as an economic contagion and how the Trump economic security doctrine applies to the current downstream impacts. Even before the Coronavirus surfaced in China there was lower manufacturing factory activity within the Chinese economy. The necessary response within China to control the spread of the Coronavirus was to shut down most commerce. Factories, schools & businesses throughout China were impacted as various containment measures took hold.
Economic Nationalism -vs- Economic Globalism
Despite the intense doomsayer predictions surrounding the ‘Coronavirus as an economic contagion’ narrative, the U.S. economy remains strong. When evaluating economic impacts for the USA it is important to remember 80 percent of all activity within the U.S. is internal. We create and consume eighty percent of our own production.
.
The Coronavirus issue hits on three main points of policy outlined by President Trump since his initial announcement of candidacy in 2015: (1) The need for secure borders and strong immigration controls. (2) The need to stop reliance on Chinese manufacturing; and (3) The need for the U.S. to have independent control over key sectors of manufacturing; including healthcare products and pharmaceuticals, as a matter of national security.
The U.S. economy is unique in the amount of balance within it as compared to other industrial economies. We are not dependent on exports to sustain our economy; and we are not dependent on any imports at the macro level. Unlike China, Asia and Europe, and despite decades of efforts by globalists and multinationals, the U.S. generates and sustains a tremendous amount of our own economic prosperity. The January data:
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) revealed data last week showing January wage growth .5%, personal income increases .6%, consumer spending at .2%; overall U.S. savings at $1.33 trillion, and low inflation at 1.7 percent year-over-year. Solid and stable.
Both consumer spending (+.2 Jan) and inflation (1.6% Jan) were impacted by lower energy prices (-.7%) & mild weather in January. Reuters spins the lower rate of spending growth to imply a contracting U.S. consumer; there is no data to support that narrative.
The Commerce Department said the goods trade deficit contracted 4.6% to $65.5 billion in January. Goods imports tumbled 2.2% last month and exports dropped 1.0%. This is not necessarily surprising as manufacturing companies have started more long-term supply chain changes in the latter part of last year.
Coronavirus As An Economic Contagion
Obviously economic activity in China is severely impacted by the Coronavirus issues. The level of their impact is not yet quantified; however, any economic contraction within China can have impacts on downstream economies based on their level of dependency.
As an example the European economy is heavily dependent on China for delivery of products and for Beijing to purchase industrial goods from the EU.
The EU focus on climate change (to the exclusion of their own economic interests) created a scenario where they strongly curtailed manufacturing of some dirty industrial goods (ex. steel) and instead started to purchase more of their needs from China.
As a result of these EU political decisions; and within this EU process; the pollution was shifted away from Europe along with the production. However, the outcome is their dependency on China increased. The result: when Beijing sneezes the EU economy catches a cold.
Conversely, the EU is also an export driven economy. Over the past decade EU leaders gave China preferential treatment due to their ‘dirty product’ import needs. China is now a big purchaser of EU products… and when China slows purchasing, again the EU feels the impact more severely.
The U.S. economy is more balanced. As a consumer economy we consume our own production and we have the resources to produce just about everything we need. The America First policy of President Trump is specifically focused to keep this advantage in place; and actually grow the advantage of our natural economic disposition by returning production of major goods prior administrations watch go overseas.
The impact to the overall U.S. economy, from Coronavirus as an economic contagion, is far less than all other industrial economies. However, the impact to U.S. multinationals (Wall St) who are dependent on global transactions, trade & manufacturing, is disproportionate.
Under America-First it was always U.S. manufacturers, those who do business inside our nations’ economy, who saw the greatest benefit. U.S. owned companies doing majority business overseas (ie. Wall Street multinationals) do not gain as much advantage under the America-First programs. The same is true now with a global economic contagion.
Within a global economic contagion the U.S. companies who rely on the internal American economic cycle to produce, sell and receive income are safe. Our internal economy is strong. However, the U.S. multinational companies are again at risk…. hence the stock market.

CTH is more confident than ever about POTUS having a comprehensive understanding of the bigger picture around COVID-19 and China’s Coronavirus outbreak. In this interview Senator Marco Rubio discusses the risks that China now represents on a myriad of levels.
The Coronavirus issue hits on three main points of policy outlined by President Trump since his initial announcement of candidacy in 2015: (1) The need for secure borders and strong immigration controls. (2) The need to stop reliance on Chinese manufacturing; and (3) The need for the U.S. to have independent control over key sectors of manufacturing; including healthcare products and pharmaceuticals, as a matter of national security.
Stay big picture. Think about what you know of the aggressive Communist and strategic disposition of China. In addition to the risks within technology development (well discussed), allowing China to have a heavy influence over critical healthcare supply chains is too dangerous.

There are Trillions At Stake….

President Trump is disrupting decades of multinational financial interests who use the U.S. as a host for their ideological endeavors .
President Trump is confronting multinational corporations and the global constructs of economic systems that were put in place to the detriment of the host ( USA ) ie .
YOU .
There are trillions at stake ; it is all about the economics ; all else is chaff and countermeasures .
We are already familiar how China , Mexico and ASEAN nations export our raw materials ( ore , coking coal , rare earth minerals etc. )
.
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overseas , the cheap durable goods are then shipped back into the U.S. for purchase .
It is within this decades-long process where we lost the manufacturing base , and the multinational economic planners ( World Trade Organization ) put us on a path to being a “ service driven ” economy .
The road to a “ service-driven economy ” is paved with a great disparity between financial classes .
The wealth gap is directly related to the inability of the middle-class to thrive .
Elite financial interests , including those within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the U.S. workforce is reduced to servitude , “ service ” , of their affluent needs .
The destruction of the U.S. industrial and manufacturing base is EXACTLY WHY the wealth gap has exploded in the past 30 years .
The exact same exfiltration and exploitation has been happening , with increased speed , over the past 15-20 years with “ CONSUMABLE GOODS “ , ie food .
Raw material foodstuff is exported to China , ASEAN nations and Mexico , processed and shipped back into the U.S. as a finished product @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( whey ) ; Nabisco shuts New Jersey manufacturing plant , moves food production to Mexico… the result : Salmonella crackers .
This is the same design-flow with food as previously exploited by other economic sectors , including auto manufacturing .
Archer Daniels Midland ( ADM ) , Monsanto , Nestlé , PepsiCo , Bunge , Potash Corp , Cargill or Wilmar , stay out of the public eye by design .
Most megafood conglomerates have roots going back a century or more , but ever-increasing consolidation means that their current corporate owners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years ago .
Welcome to the complex world of Big Ag : Multinational corporations , BIG AG , are now invested in controlling the outputs of U.S. agricultural industry and farmers .
This process is why food prices have risen exponentially in the past decade .
The free market is not determining price ; there is no “ supply and demand ” influence within this modern agricultural dynamic .
Food commodities are now a controlled market just like durable goods .
The raw material ( harvests writ large ) are exploited by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is “ contract farming ” .
If U.S. supply and demand were the sole aspects of the domestic market price for food , we would see the prices of aggregate food products drop by half almost immediately .
Some perishable food products would predictably drop so dramatically in price it is unfathomable how far the prices would fall .
Behind this dynamic we find the international corporate and financial interests who are inherently at risk from President Trump ’ s “ America-First ” economic and trade platform .
Believe it or not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire world economic establishment .
When we understand how trade works in the modern era we understand why the agents within the system are so adamantly opposed to U.S. President Trump .
♦The biggest lie in modern economics , willingly spread and maintained by corporate media , is that a system of global markets still exists .
Every element of global economic trade is controlled and exploited by massive institutions , multinational banks and multinational corporations .
Institutions like the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) and World Bank control trillions of dollars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ activity there are people who hold the reigns of power over the outcomes .
These individuals and groups are the stakeholders in direct opposition to principles of America-First national economics .
The modern financial constructs of these entities have been established over the course of the past three decades .
When you understand how they manipulate the economic system of individual nations you begin to understand understand why they are so fundamentally opposed to President Trump .
In the Western World , separate from communist control perspectives ( ie .
China ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ myth ; nothing more than a talking point meant to keep people satiated with sound bites they might find familiar .
Global markets have been destroyed over the past three decades by multinational corporations who control the products formerly contained within global markets .
The same is true for “ Commodities Markets ” .
The multinational trade and economic system , run by corporations and multinational banks , now controls the product outputs of independent nations .
The free market economic system has been usurped by entities who create what is best described @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump smartly understands what has taken place .
Additionally he uses economic leverage as part of a broader national security policy ; and to understand who opposes President Trump specifically because of the economic leverage he creates , it becomes important to understand the objectives of the global and financial elite who run and operate the institutions .
The Big Club .
Understanding how trillions of trade dollars influence geopolitical policy we begin to understand the three-decade global financial construct they seek to protect .
That is , global financial exploitation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interests in various national outputs ( harvests an raw materials ) , and ancillary industries , of developed industrial western nations .
{ example } ♦The Multinational Corporations making the purchases are underwritten by massive global financial institutions , multinational banks .
( *note* in China it is the communist government underwriting the purchase ) ♦The Multinational Banks and the Multinational Corporations then utilize lobbying interests to manipulate the internal political policy of the targeted nation state ( s ) .
♦With control over the targeted national industry or interest , the multinationals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( exfiltration ) through trade agreements structured to the benefit of lesser developed nation states – where they have previously established a proactive financial footprint .
Against the backdrop of President Trump confronting China ; and against the backdrop of NAFTA having been replaced by the USMCA ; and against the necessary need to support the key U.S. steel industry ; revisiting the economic influences within the modern import/export dynamic will help conceptualize the issues at the heart of the matter .
There are a myriad of interests within each trade sector that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , here ’ s the basic outline .
For three decades economic “ globalism ” has advanced , quickly .
Everyone accepts this statement , yet few actually stop to ask who and what are behind this – and why ?
Influential people with vested financial interests in the process have sold a narrative that global manufacturing , global sourcing , and global production was the inherent way of the future .
The same voices claimed the American economy was consigned to become a “ service-driven economy.
” What was always missed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ global-economy message have a vested financial and ideological interest in convincing the information consumer it is all just a natural outcome of economic progress .
It ’ s not natural at all .
It is a process that is entirely controlled , promoted and utilized by large conglomerates , lobbyists , purchased politicians and massive financial corporations .
Again , I ’ ll try to retain the larger altitude perspective without falling into the traps of the esoteric weeds .
I freely admit this is tough to explain and I may not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Multinational corporations purchase controlling interests in various national elements of developed industrial western nations .
This is perhaps the most challenging to understand .
In essence , thanks specifically to the way the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) was established in 1995 , national companies expanded their influence into multiple nations , across a myriad of industries and economic sectors ( energy , agriculture , raw earth minerals , etc. )
.
This is the basic underpinning of national companies becoming multinational corporations .
Think of these multinational corporations as global entities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nations -simultaneously- and purchase controlling interests in a single economic commodity .
A historic reference point might be the original multinational enterprise , energy via oil production .
( Exxon , Mobil , BP , etc . )
However , in the modern global world , it ’ s not just oil ; the resource and product procurement extends to virtually every possible commodity and industry .
From the very visible ( wheat/corn ) to the obscure ( small minerals , and even flowers ) .
Bulletpoint # 2 ♦ The Multinational Corporations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ global financial institutions , multinational banks .
During the past several decades national companies merged .
The largest lemon producer company in Brazil , merges with the largest lemon company in Mexico , merges with the largest lemon company in Argentina , merges with the largest lemon company in the U.S. , etc .
etc .
National companies , formerly of one nation , become “ continental ” companies with control over an entire continent of nations .
… .
or it could be over several continents or even the entire world market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multinational corporations .
They hold interests in specific segments ( this example lemons ) across a broad variety of individual nations .
National laws on Monopoly building are not the same in all nations .
Most are not as structured as the U.S.A or other more developed nations ( with more laws ) .
During the acquisition phase , when encountering a highly developed nation with monopoly laws , the process of an umbrella corporation might be needed to purchase the targeted interests within a specific nation .
The example of Monsanto applies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Banks and the Multinational Corporations then utilize lobbying interests to manipulate the internal political policy of the targeted nation state ( s ) .
With control of the majority of actual lemons the multinational corporation now holds a different set of financial values than a local farmer or national market .
This is why commodities exchanges are essentially dead .
In the aggregate the mercantile exchange is no longer a free or supply-based market ; it is now a controlled market exploited by mega-sized multinational corporations .
Instead of the traditional ‘ supply/demand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look to see what nations can afford what prices .
The supply of the controlled product is then distributed to the country according to their ability to afford the price .
This is essentially the bastardized and politicized function of the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) .
This is also how the corporations controlling WTO policy maximize profits .
Back to the lemons .
A corporation might hold the rights to the majority of the lemon production in Brazil , Argentina and California/Florida .
The price the U.S. consumer pays for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inventory ( distribution ) the controlling corporation allows in the U.S .
If the U.S. lemon harvest is abundant , the controlling interests will export the product to keep the U.S. consumer spending at peak or optimal price .
A U.S. customer might pay $ 2 for a lemon , a Mexican customer might pay .50¢ , and a Canadian $ 1.25 .
The bottom line issue is the national supply ( in this example ‘ harvest/yield ’ ) is not driving the national price because the supply is now controlled by massive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make is calling this a “ global commodity ” process .
In the modern era this “ global commodity ” phrase is particularly nonsense .
A true global commodity is a process of individual nations harvesting/creating a similar product and bringing that product to a global market .
Individual nations each independently engaged in creating a similar product .
Under modern globalism this process no longer takes place .
It ’ s a complete fraud .
Massive multinational corporations control the majority of production inside each nation and therefore control the global product @ @ @ @ @ @ @ controlled system .
EXAMPLE : Part of the lobbying in the food industry is to advocate for the expansion of U.S. taxpayer benefits to underwrite the costs of the domestic food products they control .
By lobbying DC these multinational corporations get congress and policy-makers to expand the basis of who can use EBT and SNAP benefits ( state reimbursement rates ) .
Expanding the federal subsidy for food purchases is part of the corporate profit dynamic .
With increased taxpayer subsidies , the food price controllers can charge more domestically and export @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , via subsidies , go into their profit margins .
The corporations then use a portion of those enhanced profits in contributions to the politicians .
It ’ s a circle of money .
In highly developed nations this multinational corporate process requires the corporation to purchase the domestic political process ( as above ) with individual nations allowing the exploitation in varying degrees .
As such , the corporate lobbyists pay hundreds of millions to politicians for changes in policies and regulations ; one sector , one product , or one industry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lobbyists .
In Mexico and underdeveloped countries when government officials take payments from companies , cartels and corporations , we call that system “ corrupt ” .
However , in the U.S. when politicians take the same payments we call it “ lobbying ” ; the process is identical .
EXAMPLE : The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ( CFIUS ) Bulletpoint # 4 ♦ With control over the targeted national industry or interest , the multinationals then leverage export of the national asset ( exfiltration ) through trade agreements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation states – where they have previously established a proactive financial footprint .
The process of charging the U.S. consumer more for a product , that under normal national market conditions would cost less , is a process called exfiltration of wealth .
This is the basic premise , the cornerstone , behind the catch-phrase ‘ globalism ’ .
It is never discussed .
To control the market price some contracted product may even be secured and shipped with the intent to allow it to sit idle ( or rot ) .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and maximizing the profit equation .
To gain the same $ 1 profit a widget multinational might have to sell 20 widgets in El-Salvador ( .25¢ each ) , or two widgets in the U.S. ( $ 2.50/each ) .
Think of the process like the historic reference of OPEC ( Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ) .
Only in the modern era massive corporations are playing the role of OPEC and it ’ s not oil being controlled , thanks to the WTO it ’ s almost everything .
Again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taxpayers subsidizing the food sector ( EBT , SNAP etc . )
, the corporations can charge U.S. consumers more .
Ex .
more beef is exported , red meat prices remain high at the grocery store , but subsidized U.S. consumers can better afford the high prices .
Of course , if you are not receiving food payment assistance ( middle-class ) you can ’ t eat the steaks because you can ’ t afford them .
( Not accidentally , it ’ s the same scheme in the ObamaCare healthcare system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : ‘ all your harvests are belong to us ‘ .
Contract with us , or you lose because we can control the market price of your end product .
Downside is that once you sign that contract , you agree to terms that are entirely created by the financial interests of the larger corporation ; not your farm .
The multinational agriculture lobby is massive .
We willingly feed the world as part of the system ; but you as a grocery customer pay more per unit at the grocery store because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Within the agriculture community the ( feed-the-world ) production export factor also drives the need for labor .
Labor is a cost .
The multinational corps have a vested interest in low labor costs .
Ergo , open border policies .
( ie .
willingly purchased republicans not supporting border wall etc. )
.
This corrupt economic manipulation/exploitation applies over multiple sectors , and even in the sub-sector of an industry like steel .
China/India purchases the raw material , coking coal , then sells the finished good ( rolled steel ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discount .
Or it could be rubber , or concrete , or plastic , or frozen chicken parts etc .
The ‘ America First ’ Trump-Trade Doctrine upsets the entire construct of this multinational export/control dynamic .
Team Trump focus exclusively on bilateral trade deals , with specific trade agreements targeted toward individual nations ( not national corporations ) .
‘ America-First ’ is also specific policy at a granular product level looking out for the national interests of the United States , U.S. workers , U.S. companies and U.S. consumers .
Under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ balanced and fair trade with strong regulatory control over national assets , exfiltration of U.S. national wealth is essentially stopped .
This puts many current multinational corporations , globalists who previously took a stake-hold in the U.S. economy with intention to export the wealth , in a position of holding contracted interest of an asset they can no longer exploit .
Perhaps now we understand better how massive multi-billion multinational corporations and institutions are aligned against President Trump .

President Trump is disrupting decades of multinational financial interests who use the U.S. as a host for their ideological endeavors. President Trump is confronting multinational corporations and the global constructs of economic systems that were put in place to the detriment of the host (USA) ie. YOU. There are trillions at stake; it is all about the economics; all else is chaff and countermeasures.
We are already familiar how China, Mexico and ASEAN nations export our raw materials (ore, coking coal, rare earth minerals etc.). The raw materials are used to manufacture goods overseas, the cheap durable goods are then shipped back into the U.S. for purchase.
It is within this decades-long process where we lost the manufacturing base, and the multinational economic planners (World Trade Organization) put us on a path to being a “service driven” economy.
The road to a “service-driven economy” is paved with a great disparity between financial classes. The wealth gap is directly related to the inability of the middle-class to thrive.
Elite financial interests, including those within Washington DC, gain wealth and power, the U.S. workforce is reduced to servitude, “service”, of their affluent needs.
The destruction of the U.S. industrial and manufacturing base is EXACTLY WHY the wealth gap has exploded in the past 30 years.
The exact same exfiltration and exploitation has been happening, with increased speed, over the past 15-20 years with “CONSUMABLE GOODS“, ie food. Raw material foodstuff is exported to China, ASEAN nations and Mexico, processed and shipped back into the U.S. as a finished product.
Recent example: Salmonella Ritz Bits (whey); Nabisco shuts New Jersey manufacturing plant, moves food production to Mexico… the result: Salmonella crackers. This is the same design-flow with food as previously exploited by other economic sectors, including auto manufacturing.
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Monsanto, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Bunge, Potash Corp, Cargill or Wilmar, stay out of the public eye by design. Most megafood conglomerates have roots going back a century or more, but ever-increasing consolidation means that their current corporate owners may have been established only a few years ago. Welcome to the complex world of Big Ag:
Start with the so-called Big Six [PDF]. Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow AgroSciences, DuPont, Bayer, and BASF produce roughly three-quarters of the pesticides used in the world. The first five also sell more than half the name-brand seeds that farmers plant, including varieties modified for resistance to the very pesticides they also sell. Meanwhile, if farmers want fertilizer, a list of 10 other companies, starting with PotashCorp, account for about two-thirds of the world market.
Once the plowing, planting, nurturing, and harvesting are done, around 80 percent of major crops pass through the hands of four traders: ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus. These companies aren’t just financiers, of course—Cargill, for example, produces animal feed and many other products, and it supplies more than a fifth of all meat sold in the United States.
And if you ever had any ideas about going vegetarian to avoid the conglomerates, forget about it: ADM processes about a third of all soybeans in the United States and a sixth of those grown around the globe. It also brews more than 5.6 billion liters of ethanol for gasoline and pours more than 2 million metric tons of high-fructose corn syrup every year. And it produces a sixth of the world’s chocolate. {Continue – and go Deep}
Multinational corporations, BIG AG, are now invested in controlling the outputs of U.S. agricultural industry and farmers. This process is why food prices have risen exponentially in the past decade.
The free market is not determining price; there is no “supply and demand” influence within this modern agricultural dynamic. Food commodities are now a controlled market just like durable goods. The raw material (harvests writ large) are exploited by the financial interests of massive multinational corporations. This is “contract farming”.
If U.S. supply and demand were the sole aspects of the domestic market price for food, we would see the prices of aggregate food products drop by half almost immediately. Some perishable food products would predictably drop so dramatically in price it is unfathomable how far the prices would fall.
Behind this dynamic we find the international corporate and financial interests who are inherently at risk from President Trump’s “America-First” economic and trade platform. Believe it or not, President Trump is up against an entire world economic establishment.
When we understand how trade works in the modern era we understand why the agents within the system are so adamantly opposed to U.S. President Trump.
♦The biggest lie in modern economics, willingly spread and maintained by corporate media, is that a system of global markets still exists.
It doesn’t.
Every element of global economic trade is controlled and exploited by massive institutions, multinational banks and multinational corporations. Institutions like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Bank control trillions of dollars in economic activity. Underneath that economic activity there are people who hold the reigns of power over the outcomes. These individuals and groups are the stakeholders in direct opposition to principles of America-First national economics.
The modern financial constructs of these entities have been established over the course of the past three decades. When you understand how they manipulate the economic system of individual nations you begin to understand understand why they are so fundamentally opposed to President Trump.

The same is true for “Commodities Markets”. The multinational trade and economic system, run by corporations and multinational banks, now controls the product outputs of independent nations.

U.S. President Trump smartly understands what has taken place. Additionally he uses economic leverage as part of a broader national security policy; and to understand who opposes President Trump specifically because of the economic leverage he creates, it becomes important to understand the objectives of the global and financial elite who run and operate the institutions. The Big Club.
Understanding how trillions of trade dollars influence geopolitical policy we begin to understand the three-decade global financial construct they seek to protect.
That is, global financial exploitation of national markets.
FOUR BASIC ELEMENTS:
♦Multinational corporations purchase controlling interests in various national outputs (harvests an raw materials), and ancillary industries, of developed industrial western nations. {example}
♦The Multinational Corporations making the purchases are underwritten by massive global financial institutions, multinational banks. (*note* in China it is the communist government underwriting the purchase)

There are a myriad of interests within each trade sector that make specific explanation very challenging; however, here’s the basic outline.
For three decades economic “globalism” has advanced, quickly. Everyone accepts this statement, yet few actually stop to ask who and what are behind this – and why?
Influential people with vested financial interests in the process have sold a narrative that global manufacturing, global sourcing, and global production was the inherent way of the future. The same voices claimed the American economy was consigned to become a “service-driven economy.”
What was always missed in these discussions is that advocates selling this global-economy message have a vested financial and ideological interest in convincing the information consumer it is all just a natural outcome of economic progress.
It’s not.
It’s not natural at all. It is a process that is entirely controlled, promoted and utilized by large conglomerates, lobbyists, purchased politicians and massive financial corporations.
Again, I’ll try to retain the larger altitude perspective without falling into the traps of the esoteric weeds. I freely admit this is tough to explain and I may not be successful.
Bulletpoint #1: ♦ Multinational corporations purchase controlling interests in various national elements of developed industrial western nations.
This is perhaps the most challenging to understand. In essence, thanks specifically to the way the World Trade Organization (WTO) was established in 1995, national companies expanded their influence into multiple nations, across a myriad of industries and economic sectors (energy, agriculture, raw earth minerals, etc.). This is the basic underpinning of national companies becoming multinational corporations.
Think of these multinational corporations as global entities now powerful enough to reach into multiple nations -simultaneously- and purchase controlling interests in a single economic commodity.
A historic reference point might be the original multinational enterprise, energy via oil production. (Exxon, Mobil, BP, etc.)
However, in the modern global world, it’s not just oil; the resource and product procurement extends to virtually every possible commodity and industry. From the very visible (wheat/corn) to the obscure (small minerals, and even flowers).
Bulletpoint #2 ♦ The Multinational Corporations making the purchases are underwritten by massive global financial institutions, multinational banks.

…. or it could be over several continents or even the entire world market of Lemon/Widget production. These are now multinational corporations. They hold interests in specific segments (this example lemons) across a broad variety of individual nations.
National laws on Monopoly building are not the same in all nations. Most are not as structured as the U.S.A or other more developed nations (with more laws). During the acquisition phase, when encountering a highly developed nation with monopoly laws, the process of an umbrella corporation might be needed to purchase the targeted interests within a specific nation.

Expanding the federal subsidy for food purchases is part of the corporate profit dynamic.
With increased taxpayer subsidies, the food price controllers can charge more domestically and export more of the product internationally. Taxes, via subsidies, go into their profit margins. The corporations then use a portion of those enhanced profits in contributions to the politicians. It’s a circle of money.
In highly developed nations this multinational corporate process requires the corporation to purchase the domestic political process (as above) with individual nations allowing the exploitation in varying degrees. As such, the corporate lobbyists pay hundreds of millions to politicians for changes in policies and regulations; one sector, one product, or one industry at a time. These are specialized lobbyists.
In Mexico and underdeveloped countries when government officials take payments from companies, cartels and corporations, we call that system “corrupt”. However, in the U.S. when politicians take the same payments we call it “lobbying”; the process is identical.
EXAMPLE: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
CFIUS is an inter-agency committee authorized to review transactions that could result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person (“covered transactions”), in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.
CFIUS operates pursuant to section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended by the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA) (section 721) and as implemented by Executive Order 11858, as amended, and regulations at 31 C.F.R. Part 800.
The CFIUS process has been the subject of significant reforms over the past several years. These include numerous improvements in internal CFIUS procedures, enactment of FINSA in July 2007, amendment of Executive Order 11858 in January 2008, revision of the CFIUS regulations in November 2008, and publication of guidance on CFIUS’s national security considerations in December 2008 (more)
Bulletpoint #4 ♦ With control over the targeted national industry or interest, the multinationals then leverage export of the national asset (exfiltration) through trade agreements structured to the benefit of lesser developed nation states – where they have previously established a proactive financial footprint.
The process of charging the U.S. consumer more for a product, that under normal national market conditions would cost less, is a process called exfiltration of wealth. This is the basic premise, the cornerstone, behind the catch-phrase ‘globalism’.
It is never discussed.
To control the market price some contracted product may even be secured and shipped with the intent to allow it to sit idle (or rot). It’s all about controlling the price and maximizing the profit equation. To gain the same $1 profit a widget multinational might have to sell 20 widgets in El-Salvador (.25¢ each), or two widgets in the U.S. ($2.50/each).
Think of the process like the historic reference of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries). Only in the modern era massive corporations are playing the role of OPEC and it’s not oil being controlled, thanks to the WTO it’s almost everything.
Again, this is highlighted in the example of taxpayers subsidizing the food sector (EBT, SNAP etc.), the corporations can charge U.S. consumers more. Ex. more beef is exported, red meat prices remain high at the grocery store, but subsidized U.S. consumers can better afford the high prices.
Of course, if you are not receiving food payment assistance (middle-class) you can’t eat the steaks because you can’t afford them. (Not accidentally, it’s the same scheme in the ObamaCare healthcare system)
Agriculturally, multinational corporate Monsanto says: ‘all your harvests are belong to us‘. Contract with us, or you lose because we can control the market price of your end product. Downside is that once you sign that contract, you agree to terms that are entirely created by the financial interests of the larger corporation; not your farm.
The multinational agriculture lobby is massive. We willingly feed the world as part of the system; but you as a grocery customer pay more per unit at the grocery store because domestic supply no longer determines domestic price.
Within the agriculture community the (feed-the-world) production export factor also drives the need for labor. Labor is a cost. The multinational corps have a vested interest in low labor costs. Ergo, open border policies. (ie. willingly purchased republicans not supporting border wall etc.).
This corrupt economic manipulation/exploitation applies over multiple sectors, and even in the sub-sector of an industry like steel. China/India purchases the raw material, coking coal, then sells the finished good (rolled steel) back to the global market at a discount. Or it could be rubber, or concrete, or plastic, or frozen chicken parts etc.
The ‘America First’ Trump-Trade Doctrine upsets the entire construct of this multinational export/control dynamic. Team Trump focus exclusively on bilateral trade deals, with specific trade agreements targeted toward individual nations (not national corporations).
‘America-First’ is also specific policy at a granular product level looking out for the national interests of the United States, U.S. workers, U.S. companies and U.S. consumers.
Under President Trump’s Trade positions, balanced and fair trade with strong regulatory control over national assets, exfiltration of U.S. national wealth is essentially stopped.
This puts many current multinational corporations, globalists who previously took a stake-hold in the U.S. economy with intention to export the wealth, in a position of holding contracted interest of an asset they can no longer exploit.
Perhaps now we understand better how massive multi-billion multinational corporations and institutions are aligned against President Trump.

Corporate media initiated panic about the Coronavirus in 2020 the same way the media attempted to manufacture panic about an upcoming U.S. recession in 2019.
Everything about Coronavirus is hyped with political purpose. The CDC official who lit the fuse to create the panic was Dr. Nancy Messonnier who read a script handed to her by resistance operatives inside government. Dr. Messonnier is Rod Rosenstein’s sister.
(VIA CNBC) Stocks rebounded sharply from their worst week since the financial crisis on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its best day in more than a decade. Expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut rates drove the gains, which accelerated aggressively into the close.
The Dow closed 1,293.96 points higher, or 5.1%, at 26,703.32. The move on a percentage basis was the Dow’s biggest since March 2009. It was the largest-ever points gain for the 30-stock average. (more)
The Coronavirus issue hits on three main points of policy outlined by President Trump since his announcement of candidacy in 2015: (1) The need for secure borders and strong immigration controls. (2) The need to stop reliance on Chinese manufacturing; and (3) The need for the U.S. to have independent control over key sectors of manufacturing; including healthcare products and pharmaceuticals, as a matter of national security.
