Class Conflict Will Cripple the Democrats
By Steve
McCann
In the midst of the post-election
chaos a long-time acquaintance, who is a robotic Democrat voter, texted
me “With Biden the violence and riots in the streets of the big cities
will stop. That is why he needs to win.”
I texted back:
“Not so fast my friend. If
Biden wins, within six to twelve months the riots will get worse and more
violent. Which is among the primary reasons why Trump must leave no stone
unturned in contesting the election. Besides if the Biden cabal steals
the election, Trump must make certain the American people know the full extent
of the fraud. The Biden presidency must begin with a dark cloud hanging
over it after what Trump and his 70+ million supporters have endured for the
past four years including the 2020 election.”
If Biden were to prevail and be sworn
in as President on January 20, 2021, it will be solely due to his party
executing the greatest fraud in American political history, along with
considerable help. The Democrats’ co-
conspirators in the Ruling Class
provide
financial and media collaboration,
while the
radical American left, with their
organizing
ability and willingness to
unabashedly break
election laws to justify the ends,
provide the
muscle.
The American
left now is committed to violence as a way to achieve its goals

Joe Biden would not have any national
mandate nor the support of the bulk of the citizenry. Due to his
cognitive decline and inability to viscerally connect with the people, he will
not be able to unite the nation behind him on any issue.
Thus, he would be, in effect, the prisoner of and a foil for those responsible for carrying him over the finish line: The Ruling Class and the American left
Never in American political history
have two more polar opposite factions combined to dominate a political
party. There is but one common factor between them: the determination, by
any means possible, to defeat Donald Trump and his populist/nationalist movement,
which is transforming the once moribund Republican Party into the home of the
working/middle class at the expense of the Democrat party and the Ruling
Class.
All political parties are made up of
various factions. Under ordinary circumstances there is more commonality
among them than a visceral hatred of an opposition political leader, so that
when the time comes for their policies to be enacted or interests to be
satisfied, all the factions can more easily compromise about their goals.
However, there is virtually no commonality between the Ruling Class, who wants
to maintain their power, and the radical American Left, which wants to not only
transform the country but overthrow the Ruling Class.
How is this marriage of convenience
going to play out if Donald Trump is no longer the raison d’etre for this
alliance and the Republicans control the Senate and the Democrat majority in
the House hangs by a thread? The supposedly joyous demonstrations staged
by the left in multiple cities, triggered by the media’s premeditated and
premature announcement on November 7th that Biden had won the election, reveals
that the left, as a full partner, expects not only to have the vast bulk of
their agenda enacted but to also have an equal, even primary, seat at the table
of power.
However, it is a foregone conclusion that the
Ruling Class, in particular the moneyed
interests of Wall Street and multi-national
corporations as well as the Deep State and
media conglomerates, will control a senescent
and passive Joe Biden and will determine
what is enacted by the two houses of
Congress. Certain to not be among them, amid
many items on the left’s wish list, are the “Green New Deal,” “Medicare for
All,” massive tax increases and fully subsidized college educations for all.
Other than a few symbolic crumbs, the
proponents of Democratic Socialism will see nothing on their ambitious wish
list enacted. They will be also frozen out of any meaningful
positions of power and influence in the Administration or Congress.
After being embraced as an equal
partner in the effort to oust President Trump and performing their assigned
tasks in the election fraud, these naïve brainwashed idealists will be left out
in the cold. Only then will they realize that they have been used by
those same people they willingly joined and previously despised.
However, by allying themselves with
the radical progressives in this venture, the Ruling Class has given the
American left one thing they have been unable, after nearly 80+ years, to
accomplish on their own: status and recognition as an equal in the political
arena. As such, it is inevitable that the anger of the foot soldiers of
the left at being a foil for their arch-enemy will boil over. The
leadership of the left will have to endorse their militant faction’s
determination to take to the streets in even greater numbers to riot and foment
violence at a future pretense of police brutality. They will demand their
agenda be enacted as they focus their unbridled rage on their former ally.
How will Biden, the Democrat party
establishment and the Ruling Class react to this threat? After spending
the spring and summer of 2020 tacitly, by their silence, sanctioning violence
and looting, thus cementing the alliance and emboldening the left, this cabal
is in no position to forcefully put down future rioting without triggering
potential bloodshed. Nor can they acquiesce to the left’s demands as they
would, in essence, be cutting their own throats. In due course this
nation will be embroiled in near uncontrollable chaos.
The Ruling Class and its appendages,
the mainstream media, tech billionaires, Wall Street, the Deep State, Hollywood
and government bureaucrats, will gloat in what may well be a successful effort
to oust the most accomplished and most politically transformative one term
president since Abraham Lincoln. But by doing so and elevating the
radical left they have set in motion events that will eventually spiral out of
their control.
There is not
sufficient scorn to heap upon the self-centered megalomaniacal fools in the
Democrat party and a purportedly elite Ruling Class. They have not only
orchestrated a potentially stolen national election and destroyed the people’s
faith in the electoral process, they have unleashed the rabid dogs of the left
into the mainstream of American politics. They may have referred to those
in fly-over country as deplorables, but this cabal can only be referred to as
the despicables.

THE REALITY OF OBAMA-BIDENomics
A key factor in Obama’s newfound and
growing wealth are those who profited from his presidency. A number of his
public speeches have been given to big Wall Street firms and investors. Obama
has given at least nine speeches to Cantor Fitzgerald, a large investment and
commercial real estate firm, and other high-end corporations. According to
records, each speech has been at least $400,000 a clip. Obama’s rewards are
simply retroactive bribery for services rendered to the capitalist elite, who
have welcomed him with open arms. Jonathan

The new aristocrats,
like the lords of old, are not bound by the laws that apply to the lower
orders. Voluminous reports have been issued by Congress and government panels
documenting systematic fraud and law breaking carried out by the biggest banks
both before and after the Wall Street crash of 2008.
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan
Chase, Bank of America and every other major US bank have been implicated in a
web of scandals, including the sale of toxic mortgage securities on false
pretenses, the rigging of international interest rates and global foreign
exchange markets, the laundering of Mexican drug money, accounting fraud and
lying to bank regulators, illegally foreclosing on the homes of delinquent
borrowers, credit card fraud, illegal debt-collection practices, rigging of
energy markets, and complicity in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.

“There is no

the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and
there really is no talking to him,” the memo added.

WHO IS TIGHTER WITH THE PLUNDERING BANKSTERS? CLINTON,

The Clinton White House famously
abolished the Glass–Steagall legislation, which separated commercial and
investment banking. The move was a boon for Wall Street firms
and led to major bank mergers that some analysts say helped contribute to the
2008 financial crisis.
Bill and Hillary Clinton
raked in massive speaking fees from Goldman Sachs, with CNN documenting a total of at least
$7.7 million in paid speeches to big financial firms, including Goldman Sachs
and UBS. Hillary Clinton made $675,000 from speeches to Goldman Sachs
specifically, and her husband secured more than $1,550,000
from Goldman speeches. In 2005 alone, Bill Clinton collected over $500,000 from
three Goldman Sachs events.
Hillary Clinton is simply the epitome of the
rabid self – a whirlpool of selfishness, greed, and malignance.
It may well be true that Donald Trump has
made his greatest contribution to the nation before even taking office: the political
destruction of Hillary Clinton and her infinitely corrupt machine. J.R. Dunn

Obamanomics:
How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends,
Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses
BY TIMOTHY P CARNEY
Editorial Reviews
Obama Is Making You Poorer—But Who’s Getting Rich?
Goldman Sachs, GE, Pfizer, the United
Auto Workers—the same “special interests” Barack Obama was supposed to chase
from the temple—are profiting handsomely from Obama’s Big Government policies
that crush taxpayers, small businesses, and consumers. In Obamanomics,
investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media
ignores, and the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and
Change, Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming
he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory
robbery—it’s OBAMANOMICS TO SERVE THE RICH AND GLOBALIST BILLIONAIRES.
OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS: You were wondering how many jobs
went to illegals and how well Obama’s crony banksters have done???
By PAUL BEDARD
The sputtering economic recovering under
President Obama, the last to follow a major recession, has fallen way short of
the average recovery and ranks as the worst since the 1930s Great Depression,
according to a new report.
Had the recovery under Obama been the
average of the 11 since the Depression, according to the report, family incomes
would be $17,000 higher, six million fewer Americans would be in poverty, and
there would be six million more jobs.
LIFE OF A GRIFTER:
“Hillary Clinton will end up as one of those Mafia dons slumped in a
wheelchair while the lawyers attempt to generate sympathy.
“But if
she shows any sign of weakness, her cronies will begin to desert her, those she
trampled on and harmed will seek payback, and the authorities will at last stir
themselves to look into things. The current investigations will continue and
expand. Others will be opened. Clinton can look forward to an old age spent in
courthouses and committee rooms. She will end up as one of those Mafia dons
slumped in a wheelchair while the lawyers attempt to generate sympathy. And
that’s fine. She has earned the most Hellenic of punishments.”
“The Clintons have been a criminal enterprise
since they came to power in Arkansas. The list of scandals they have
generated is long and tawdry. Their principal goal then and now has
always been to enrich themselves. They never once had a moral
compunction about lying, cheating, selling, and stealing their way to
wealth. They are the Perons of America. They eventually set up a
"foundation" and the money kept rolling in.” THOMAS LIFSON / AMERICAN THINKER
No longer able to get half a million bucks for a
brief speech before foreign interests seeking the favor of the American
government, Bill and Hillary Clinton are going the concert tour route, hoping
to cobble together another fortune built on selling a few thousand tickets per
show, from about $70 to $750. THOMAS LIFSON DICK MORRIS:

HILLARY CLINTON: THE LIFE OF A VERY DISTURBED
AND VERY DISHONEST SOCIOPATH
In the book, Byrne describes her as
“distant, cold, dishonest, and a habitual liar.” When asked about this, he
told American
Thinker, “Americans need to know that Mrs. Clinton is not a
leader. She displays a holier-than-thou attitude, ‘do as I say, not
as I do.’ When I heard her say Bill Clinton would work with her on
the economy, my first thoughts, ‘what steps will she take to protect
young women working at the White House from him?’ Her pattern
is
reflection, deception, and lies.”
In June 2010, several of his
companies received deals or concessions from the Colombian government
following back-to-back meetings that Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton had with the President of Colombia. Giustra has given
tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation since 2005.
WHY DO YOU
THINK THE RICH AND
CROOKED WANT HILLARY CLINTON
IN THE WHITE
HOUSE?
Their net worth today is
now in excess of $150 million, accumulated not by traditional means of work and
investment, but rather by pay-for-play influence peddling through speeches and
Clinton Foundation fundraising -- with the tacit understanding that the Clintons
would be in a position to return favors to donors after Hillary won the 2016
presidential election.

In 2014 the Russell
Sage Foundation found that between 2003 and 2013, the median household net
worth of those in the United States fell from $87,992 to $56,335—a drop of 36
percent. While the rich also saw their wealth drop during the recession, they
are more than making that money back.

Practically every cabinet appointee of Obama’s has close
personal connections to the ruling class, many having come directly from
corporate boardrooms. Under Obama’s watch not a single executive at a major
financial firm has been criminally tried, much less sent to jail, for their
role in the financial crisis.

"One of the premier institutions of
big business, JP Morgan Chase, issued an internal report on the
eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2008 crash, which warned that
another “great liquidity crisis” was possible, and that a
government bailout on the scale of that effected by Bush and Obama
will produce social unrest, “in light of the potential impact
of central bank actions in driving inequality between
asset owners and labor."
This manufactured
crisis has, in turn, been exploited by the Obama administration and both big
business parties to hand over trillions in pension funds and other public
assets to the financial kleptocracy that rules America.

The latest research
on wealth inequality by University of California economics professor Gabriel
Zucman underscores one of the key social and economic trends since the global
financial crisis of 2008. Those at the very top of society, who benefited
directly from the orgy of speculation that led to the crash, have seen their
wealth accumulate at an even faster rate, while the mass of the population has
suffered a major decline.
The past 40 years
have seen the consolidation of a plutocratic elite, which has subordinated
every aspect of American society to a single goal: amassing ever more colossal
amounts of personal wealth. The top one percent have captured all of the increase in national
income over the past two decades, and all of the increase in national wealth since the 2008 crash.
“This was not
because of difficulties in securing indictments or convictions. On the
contrary, Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate committee in March of 2013
that the Obama administration chose not to prosecute the big banks or their
CEOs because to do so might “have a negative impact on the national economy.”
"This is how they will destroy
America from within. The leftist billionaires who
orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing
us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of
millions of migrants. They have nothing but contempt
for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being
intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and
human traffickers. These people have no intention
of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have
contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY
A key factor in Obama’s newfound and growing wealth are
those who profited from his presidency. A number of his public speeches have
been given to big Wall Street firms and investors. Obama has given at least
nine speeches to Cantor Fitzgerald, a large investment and commercial real
estate firm, and other high-end corporations. According to records, each speech
has been at least $400,000 a clip.
During his presidency, Obama bragged that his
administration was “the only thing between [Wall Street] and the pitchforks.”
In fact, Obama handed the robber barons and outright
criminals responsible for the 2008–09 financial crisis a multi-trillion-dollar
bailout. His administration oversaw the largest redistribution of wealth in
history from the bottom to the top one percent, spearheading the attack on the
living standards of teachers and autoworkers.
No, Joe,
There Was No Economic Boom Under Obama
The great
Jackie Gleason once said, "The past remembers better than it lived."
And so it is, apparently, with the Obama years.
BLOG EDITOR: THE ECONOMIC MELTDOWN OF 2008 WAS CAUSED ENTIRELY
BY THE VERY BANKSTERS WHO OWNED BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN FROM DAY ONE. THEY
NOW ALSO OWN KAMALA HARRIS.
ULTIMATELY, THE ‘OBAMA RECOVERY’ SAW THE GREATEST TRANSFER OF
WEALTH TO THE RICH IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
There was
no economic "boom" as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are misremembering.
This was an economy that skidded into a financial ditch and seemingly never
pulled out of it and got back on the prosperity hot lanes until Donald Trump
won the election in November 2016.
You can
mark the real recovery -- an economic inflection point almost the day after
that surprise election outcome.
Every
liberal forecaster and most academic economists had guaranteed America that, if
Trump were elected, the stock market would crash; workers would be flattened;
and, as New York Times economist Paul Krugman famously predicted, the economy
would "never" recover.
Instead,
the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared by 257 points the morning after the
election (that's some crash), and it rose for the next three years, as it has
again over the last several months. A few days after that election,
small-business optimism surged by its most considerable amount ever measured,
going back many decades. Family incomes surged to record-high levels in 2017,
2018 and 2019 as deregulation and tax cuts fueled a powerful engine. In three
years, ordinary people had made more income gains than in eight years under the
Obama-Biden administration.
But now
we are being told a fairy tale that the Obama economy was booming and Biden
miraculously fixed it and Trump "blew it."
Here's
the reality check. Under Barack Obama, the economy barely grew 2% -- rather
pathetic for a "recovery." The people who made the preposterous
bullish claims that Obama saved the economy are the ones who now say the Biden
economic plan will gain millions of jobs.
In the
last year of Obama's presidency, growth shrunk to 1.6%, and the concern was the
possibility of another recession. That's some boom.
If the
Obama recovery had been as rapid as the average recovery, we would have had at
least $1 trillion more GDP by 2016. If we had experienced a Ronald Reagan-style
recovery, the GDP would have been $2.5 trillion larger when Obama left office.
It is almost equivalent to the size of the entire output of the state of
California gone missing.
The first
four years of the Obama presidency were abysmal. The Obama-Biden $800 billion stimulus
plan left unemployment higher every year than their economists had predicted if
we did nothing. What bailed out Obama, ironically enough, was the shale oil and
gas revolution that added millions of jobs despite the Obama-Biden hatred of
fossil fuels. Most of the employment growth came in Texas, Oklahoma and North
Dakota. Meanwhile, most of the green energy subsidies went into failed and
now-bankrupt companies such as Solyndra. And now Biden promises another $2
trillion for "clean energy" corporate welfare subsidies.
Throughout
nearly all of the Biden-Obama presidency, roughly 1 out of 3 people in the
United States rated the economy as "good" or "excellent."
Most of the rest rated the economy "fair" or "poor." That
number surged to about 65% rating the economy as "good" or
"excellent" within a year of Trump's presidency.
People
can debate Trump's handling of the virus and the mistakes that have been made.
It now looks like under any scenario, except an airtight sequestering of those
over the age of 75, smokers, diabetics and severely overweight people, we would
have seen the same or worse results.
Now the
question is which game plan gets the economy and employment back to normal as
quickly as possible. Biden promises a $4 trillion tax hike on almost all U.S.
businesses and investors. That's roughly 5% of everything we produce that gets
snatched away in higher taxes. If you believe that this will get America back
on the fast track, you probably believe Obama caused an economic boom.

Jack Cashill’s Unmasking Obama By Thomas
Lifson
To my surprise, Jack Cashill's new book,
Unmasking Obama, couldn't be more relevant to the political struggle facing us
today. In 2020, as in 2008 (and throughout the two Obama presidential terms),
the key to political power is what must be called "information
warfare" (my term, not Jack's) between the mighty establishment media and
the feisty conservative alternative media, which Jack likens to the samizdat
underground commentary in the old Soviet Union. It is the process of the
unmasking of the phony propaganda peddled by the all-powerful establishment by
the resource- and prestige-poor "Lilliputians" (an appropriation of
Jonathan Swift's work that the satirist surely would approve of) that is the
heart of the book. The narrative history presented in Unmasking Obama is
captivating. Jack takes readers along with him as he was both a participant in the
warfare and a historian of it, digging up parts of the elusive truth about the
real Barack Obama in the face of derision and obstruction that came his way.
But Jack is far from the sole hero of the story of the warfare. Because of his
literary detective work, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Bill Ayers
wrote the autobiographical book, Dreams from My Father, that first established
Obama as a serious intellect, Jack enjoyed access to many of the most
formidable truth-tellers about Obama. The book's prologue, in fact, begins with
a phone call Jack received in 2011 from a then little-known lawyer named
Michael Cohen, acting as a lawyer for Donald Trump. Unmasking Obama takes the
reader through the major aspects of the fraudulent picture of Obama that was
painted by the media and political establishments and details how the truth was
uncovered and often partially suppressed by the retaliatory efforts launched in
response. It often resembles detective fiction in the drama of the struggle to
get at the truth and the struggle to prevent that. I hesitate to call it beach
reading, for it is not in any sense fluff, intended to while away time. But it
is vastly entertaining and thought-provoking, and the 218 pages fly by rapidly.
Today, exactly the same struggle is underway between the Lilliputians seeking
to uncover who really is running the front-man candidacy of Joe Biden and the
shadowy movement that is looting and destroying our cities and the coordinated
might of the mass media that spends 95% of its time pushing a party line that
Trump is an unprecedented threat to human civilization and Joe Biden an amiable
and pragmatic centrist. Future historians, if there are any left still
interested and able to dispassionately understand how America came to the current
point of crisis, will find the story told in Unmasking Obama a very helpful
guide. If journalism is the "first draft of history," Unmasking Obama
is a well considered second draft, adding crucial perspective and assessment of
the consequences of the real-time reports. You don't have to wait that long,
though. It went on sale last week, and is well worth your time.
Income inequality grows four times faster under Obama than Bush …. we
bankroll Mexico's welfare state in our borders as the number of Americans
(Legals) sink into poverty! Illegals also get all the jobs!

The study noted that, in the aftermath of the Great Depression,
the US undertook policies “during the New Deal [that] permanently reduced
income concentration until the 1970s.” In contrast, the study noted a striking
absence of any measures to reign in social inequality in the present crisis.
Far from it, the Obama administrations’ bank bailouts, austerity program and
wage-cutting policies have vastly expanded the prevalence of social inequality.
OBAMA’S CRONY BANKSTERISM
THE FED'S OLD BOY NETWORK
By Attorney Jonathan Emord
Author of "The Rise of Tyranny" and
"Global Censorship of Health Information"
December 19, 2011
NewsWithViews.com
Bloomberg LP, parent of Bloomberg News, performed an enormous
service for the American public when it sued the Federal Reserve and the
Clearing House Association LLC, an institution created by several of the
nation’s largest banks, to force disclosure of secret loans made by the Federal
Reserve principally to the six largest U.S. banks but also to certain foreign banks.
The treasure trove of evidence ultimately obtained by Bloomberg reveals that
while the public Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailed out leading Wall
Street firms for the whopping sum of $700 billion, the Fed at the same time
doled out some $7.77 trillion (an astronomical sum equal to have the gross
domestic product). To make matters worse, the Fed expanded its emergency
discount lending program, giving tens of billions more to the same banks at an
interest rate of 1%, while the prime lending rate stood at over 3%. The
banks getting these funds often turned them into profit centers, lending out
proceeds from them at higher interest rates and pocketing the difference,
profiting on federal largesse.
The President and his top economic advisers bought the “too
big to fail” concept, the notion that regardless of how profligate,
irresponsible, even criminal, heads of the leading financial institutions in
America had been, it would be worse for the nation if those institutions were
to collapse. Consequently, while pushing a legislative agenda of public
bail-outs, the Obama Administration maintained a secret program of
multi-trillion dollar loans, including billions at below market interest rates.
The principal recipients of the funding were JPMorgan, Bank of America,
Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan
Stanley.
The General Accounting Office audit of the
Federal Reserve revealed that some $16 trillion was supplied in secret loans
from the Federal Reserve between December 1, 2007 and July 21, 2010. The
largest single recipients were Citigroup ($2.5 trillion); Morgan Stanley ($2
trillion); Merrill Lynch ($2 trillion); Bank of America ($1.3 trillion);
Barclays PLC ($868 billion); Bear Stearns ($853 billion); Goldman Sachs ($814
billion); the Royal Bank of Scotland ($541 billion); JP Morgan Chase ($391
billion); and Deutsche Bank ($354 billion).
Bloomberg discovered that while top banks were touting in
their press releases during the crisis that they had fiscal soundness, their
balance sheets were made up primarily of federal funds, most from the Federal
Reserve. Moreover, while many banks paid back the TARP funds, they most often
did so in reliance on the secret receipts of tens of billions of dollars in
Federal Reserve money (in other words, the pay back was in that sense a
charade: federal money paid back federal loans). In short, the
Administration was complicit in the orchestration of a massive fraud on the
American public, making it seem that the banks largely responsible for the
financial crisis were weathering the storm of their own accord when in fact
they were on board the good ship U.S. Taxpayer.
Meanwhile, the bad lending and financial dealing practices
that helped produce the financial crisis have been largely kept in place,
underwritten by the federal government. The top banks suddenly realized that
far from having to suffer ignominy and defeat for their abuses, they would be
kept alive by a seemingly endless flow of federal cash. Indeed, the feds
accepted as collateral for loans securities of virtually no worth and other
properties that would never support private commercial lending. By propping up
the major banks despite their irresponsible lending practices, the federal
government has given them a privileged financial status whereby private lenders
will give them terms far more favorable than their smaller competitors because
they understand the federal government will not let them fail. Economist call
this safety net a “moral hazard” (effective federal underwriting for heightened
risk taking that permits these lenders to profit at above market rates of
return in speculative investing without suffering financial liability for
loss). The amounts doled out by the federal government to the banks could
have paid off as much as one tenth of all of the delinquent mortgages,
Bloomberg determined.
Rather than be forced to take their losses on their enormous
junk portfolios and interbank lending practices, the top six banks were allowed
to keep the junk portfolios, maintain their dubious lending practices, and turn
to the Federal Reserve for money on demand whenever problems arose. Repeatedly
when the banks should have gone under due to poor lending practices and grossly
speculative profiteering, they were complimented by the Federal Reserve,
rescued, and then allowed to tout the falsehood that their success came from
sharp management rather than from secret loans. At the same time, these banks
and others have shut down commercial lending for small businesses nationwide.
The “too big to fail” justification for the massive federal
welfare dole to the top six United States banks was based on a faulty premise.
Without question the demise of the leading banks would entail hardship,
particularly for the employees of those institutions, but the long term
prognosis was good for a restructuring of the financial market through
bankruptcies and takeovers. The alternative to allowing the market to impose
its own swift and harsh corrective involves imposing a massive burden on every
American citizen for generations to come for the trillions spent to prop up a
few dozen Wall Street moguls. Rather than have the taxpayers pay an inflated
sum to keep the banks responsible for the financial crisis alive, the nation
could have spared itself an assumption of massive debt and witnessed the demise
of these banks and the rise of new competing financial institutions based on a
solid financial model.
The Bush and Obama Administration’s role as Santa Claus for
Wall Street has kept from Wall Street the needed lessons that would have
otherwise come from the collapse of the major lending institutions. Painful as
it may seem to some, it is far better to allow the market to experience a
correction for profligate lending practices than to force the American
taxpayers for generations to come to pay for the bad decisions made by a few
and to let those few go without suffering a single consequence beyond temporary
embarrassment.
In the two years since leaving the White House, former
President Barack Obama has spent his time raising and solidifying his position
in the uppermost echelons of the top one percent of Americans. Obama has raked
in exorbitant amounts of money for public speaking events and made deals worth
millions with multiple companies.
Despite his quip, made during the depths of the Great
Recession, that “at a certain point you’ve made enough money,” there seems to
be no such limit for the Obamas. His family has amassed so much wealth that
even Obama himself said he was surprised in a speech in South Africa last year.
Since he left office, the former president has given an
estimated 50 speeches a year to corporate audiences for hundreds of thousands
of dollars per event. In 2017, the same year he left office, Obama was
officially recognized as one of the top ten highest paid public speakers in the
US.
Just last month, Obama was reported to
have been paid nearly $600,000 to speak at the EXMA conference in Bogotá,
Colombia. According to the Bogotá Post, EXMA is Colombia’s largest marketing
and business event of the year and one of the largest in Latin America. Simply
titled, “A conversation with President Barack Obama,” his talk purportedly
addressed “influential growth strategies” in marketing and other aspects of the
marketing economy.
Colombia is infamous for the corruption prevalent in
its public sector and military,
which costs the country $17 billion a year, equivalent
to 5.3 percent of its GDP.
Colombia exports half of the world’s cocaine and its
drug cartels have been known
to have a hand in the government. Corruption
and drug money are so rampant that
Colombia’s Inspector General likened it to “the
new cartel.”
While Obama warns of the danger of “exploding inequality”
in his speeches, the massive sum granted to him for one night in Bogotá is more
than 10 times what the typical household in the US makes in a year, and 72
times the average worker’s annual income in Colombia.
Notably, Obama’s purse was nearly triple the amount Hillary
Clinton was paid for her notorious speeches to Goldman Sachs that revealed her
and the Democratic Party as Wall Street stooges. Former President Bill Clinton
was paid just $200,000 per speech when he toured Latin America in 2005.
A key factor in Obama’s newfound and growing wealth are
those who profited from his presidency. A number of his public speeches have
been given to big Wall Street firms and investors. Obama has given at least
nine speeches to Cantor Fitzgerald, a large investment and commercial real
estate firm, and other high-end corporations. According to records, each speech
has been at least $400,000 a clip.
During his presidency, Obama bragged that his
administration was “the only thing
between [Wall Street] and the pitchforks.”
In fact, Obama handed the robber barons and outright
criminals responsible for the 2008–09 financial crisis a multi-trillion-dollar
bailout. His administration oversaw the largest redistribution of wealth in
history from the bottom to the top one percent, spearheading the attack on the
living standards of teachers and autoworkers.
Under Obama’s watch the stock markets soared as the Dow
Jones Industrial Average increased by 149 percent. Meanwhile, the “war on
terror” in the Middle East was expanded with Obama becoming the first president
to spend every day of his two terms at war, much to the delight of the
military-industrial complex.
As the wars raged on and the financial oligarchs fattened
themselves off the ever-increasing mountain of wealth being concentrated at the
top of society, real wages stagnated and an unprecedented opioid overdose
crisis spun out of control. Rising numbers of “deaths of despair” during
Obama’s tenure, particularly among the working class, resulted in a decline in
life expectancy unprecedented in the modern era.
In addition to monetary rewards for his service to the
financial elite and military-intelligence apparatus, Obama has been lavishly
feted by socialites and billionaires such as Richard Branson. Obama was
Branson’s special guest in 2017 on a private island where the pair were seen
kite surfing and enjoying the amenities of Branson’s exclusive resort.
Michelle Obama has also benefited after the family’s
departure from the White House. The couple signed a $65 million book deal with
publishing company Penguin Random House for their political memoirs. Michelle’s
memoir “Becoming” was the best-selling book of 2018 with over 10 million copies
sold. The pair also signed multi-year deals with Netflix and Spotify to produce
content aimed at “fostering dialogue” and promoting diversity in entertainment.
Obama’s lucrative post-White House career hobnobbing with
the corporate, entertainment and financial elite epitomizes the revolving door
relationship between the US government and the private sector. Obama’s rewards
are simply retroactive bribery for services rendered to the capitalist elite,
who have welcomed him with open arms.

“They knew Obama was an unqualified
crook; yet they promoted him. They knew Obama was a train wreck waiting to
happen; yet they made him president, to the great injury of America and the
world. They understood he was only a figurehead, an egomaniac, and a liar; yet
they made him king, doing great harm to our republic (perhaps irreparable.)”

they claim to be all for the common guy.

CEO pay is higher than ever, as is the chasm separating the rich and
super-rich from everyone else. The incomes of the top 1 percent grew more than
11 percent between 2009 and 2011—the first two years of the Obama
“recovery”—while the incomes of the bottom 99 percent actually shrank.
Meanwhile, Obama is pressing forward
with his proposal, outlined in his budget for the next fiscal year, to slash
$400 billion from Medicare and $130 billion from Social Security… AS WELL AS

The latest research
on wealth inequality by University of California economics professor Gabriel
Zucman underscores one of the key social and economic trends since the global
financial crisis of 2008. Those at the very top of society, who benefited
directly from the orgy of speculation that led to the crash, have seen their
wealth accumulate at an even faster rate, while the mass of the population has
suffered a major decline.
The past 40 years
have seen the consolidation of a plutocratic elite, which has subordinated
every aspect of American society to a single goal: amassing ever more colossal
amounts of personal wealth. The top one percent have captured all of the increase in national
income over the past two decades, and all of the increase in national wealth since the 2008 crash.
Joe Biden
Fundraises with Wall Street During Donald Trump Rally
18 Jun 201984
Former Vice President Joe Biden attended a
fundraiser with Wall Street donors during President Donald Trump’s campaign
kickoff rally in Florida on Tuesday.
It was the fourth New York City
fundraiser for Joe Biden in about 24 hours.
The fundraiser was hosted by Eric Mindich, the CEO of Eton Park
Capital Management with about 100 donors including Stephen Scherr, the
executive vice president and chief financial officer of Goldman Sachs, H.
Rodgin Cohen the senior chairman at Sullivan & Cromwell as well as former
Clinton and Obama officials
Biden defended the wealthy in his speech to the donors but
begged them to be aware of wealth inequality.
“You know what I’ve found is rich people are just as patriotic
as poor people,” he said. “Not a joke. I mean, we may not want to demonize
anybody who has made money. The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know,
you all know in your gut what has to be done.”
Biden warned that if Trump won re-election, he would “literally
fundamentally change the nature of who we are and how we function.”
Biden boasted that Obama leaned on him to help bring members of
Congress together during their administration.
“Folks, I believe one of the things I’m pretty good at is
bringing people together,” he said. “Every time we had trouble in the
administration, who got sent to the Hill to settle it? Me. No, not a joke.
Because I demonstrate respect for them.”

"One of the
premier institutions of big business, JP Morgan Chase, issued
an internal report on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2008
crash, which warned that another “great liquidity crisis”
was possible, and that a government bailout on the scale of that
effected by Bush and Obama will produce social unrest, “in light of
the potential impact of central bank actions in driving
inequality between asset owners and labor."

Obama's Wall Street cabinet
6 April 2009
A series of articles published over the
weekend, based on financial disclosure reports released by the Obama
administration last Friday concerning top White House officials, documents the
extent to which the administration, in both its personnel and policies, is a
political instrument of Wall Street.
Policies that are extraordinarily
favorable to the financial elite that were put in place over the past month by
the Obama administration have fed a surge in share values on Wall Street. These
include the scheme to use hundreds of billions of dollars in public funds to
pay hedge funds to buy up the banks’ toxic assets at inflated prices, the Auto
Task Force’s rejection of the recovery plans of Chrysler and General Motors and
its demand for even more brutal layoffs, wage cuts and attacks on workers’
health benefits and pensions, and the decision by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) to weaken “mark-to-market” accounting rules and permit
banks to inflate the value of their toxic assets.
At the same time, Obama has campaigned
against restrictions on bonuses paid to executives at insurance giant American International
Group (AIG) and other bailed-out firms, and repeatedly assured Wall Street that
he will slash social spending, including Medicare, Medicaid and Social
Security.
The new financial disclosures reveal that
top Obama advisors directly involved in setting these policies have received
millions from Wall Street firms, including those that have received huge
taxpayer bailouts.
The case of Lawrence Summers, director of
the National Economic Council and Obama’s top economic adviser, highlights the
politically incestuous character of relations between the Obama administration
and the American financial elite.
Last year, Summers pocketed $5 million as
a managing director of D.E. Shaw, one of the biggest hedge funds in the world,
and another $2.7 million for speeches delivered to Wall Street firms that have
received government bailout money. This includes $45,000 from Citigroup and
$67,500 each from JPMorgan Chase and the now-liquidated Lehman Brothers.
For a speech to Goldman Sachs executives,
Summers walked away with $135,000. This is substantially more than double the
earnings for an entire year of high-seniority auto workers, who have been
pilloried by the Obama administration and the media for their supposedly
exorbitant and “unsustainable” wages.
Alluding diplomatically to the flagrant
conflict of interest revealed by these disclosures, the New York Times noted on
Saturday: “Mr. Summers, the director of the National Economic Council, wields
important influence over Mr. Obama’s policy decisions for the troubled
financial industry, including firms from which he recently received payments.”
Summers was a leading advocate of banking
deregulation. As treasury secretary in the second Clinton administration, he
oversaw the lifting of basic financial regulations dating from the 1930s. The
Times article notes that among his current responsibilities is deciding
“whether—and how—to tighten regulation of hedge funds.”
Summers is not an exception. He
is rather typical of the Wall Street insiders who comprise a cabinet and White
House team that is filled with multi-millionaires, presided over by a president
who parlayed his own political career into a multi-million-dollar fortune.
Michael Froman, deputy national security
adviser for international economic affairs, worked for Citigroup and received
more than $7.4 million from the bank from January of 2008 until he entered the
Obama administration this year. This included a $2.25 million year-end bonus
handed him this past January, within weeks of his joining the Obama administration.
Citigroup has thus far been the
beneficiary of $45 billion in cash and over $300 billion in government
guarantees of its bad debts.
David Axelrod, the Obama campaign’s top
strategist and now senior adviser to the president, was paid $1.55 million last
year from two consulting firms he controls. He has agreed to buyouts that will
garner him another $3 million over the next five years. His disclosure claims
personal assets of between $7 and $10 million.
Obama’s deputy national security adviser,
Thomas E. Donilon, was paid $3.9 million by a Washington law firm whose major
clients include Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and the private equity firm Apollo
Management.
Louis Caldera, director of the White
House Military Office, made $227,155 last year from IndyMac Bancorp, the
California bank that heavily promoted subprime mortgages. It collapsed last
summer and was placed under federal receivership.
The presence of multi-millionaire Wall
Street insiders extends to second- and third-tier positions in the Obama administration
as well. David Stevens, who has been tapped by Obama to head the Federal
Housing Administration, is the president and chief operating officer of Long
and Foster Cos., a real estate brokerage firm. From 1999 to 2005, Stevens
served as a top executive for Freddie Mac, the federally-backed mortgage
lending giant that was bailed out and seized by federal regulators in
September.
Neal Wolin, Obama’s selection for deputy
counsel to the president for economic policy, is a top executive at the insurance
giant Hartford Financial Services, where his salary was $4.5 million.
Obama’s Auto Task Force has as its top
advisers two investment bankers with a long resume in corporate downsizing and
asset-stripping.
It is not new for leading figures from
finance to be named to high posts in a US administration. However, there has
traditionally been an effort to demonstrate a degree of independence from Wall
Street in the selection of cabinet officials and high-ranking presidential
aides, often through the appointment of figures from academia or the public
sector. In previous decades, moreover, representatives of the corporate elite
were more likely to come from industry than from finance.
In the Obama administration such
considerations have largely been abandoned.
This will not come as a surprise to those
who critically followed Obama’s election campaign. While he postured before the
electorate as a critic of the war in Iraq and a quasi-populist force for
“change,” he was from the first heavily dependent on the financial and
political backing of powerful financiers in Chicago. Banks, hedge funds
and other financial firms lavishly backed his presidential bid, giving him
considerably more than they gave to his Republican opponent, Senator John
McCain.
Friday’s financial disclosures further
expose the bankruptcy of American democracy. Elections have no real effect on
government policy, which is determined by the interests of the financial
aristocracy that dominates both political parties. The working class can fight
for its own interests—for jobs, decent living standards, health care,
education, housing and an end to war.
“Records show that four out of Obama's
top five contributors are employees of financial industry giants - Goldman
Sachs ($571,330), UBS AG ($364,806), JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup
($358,054).”
THE GLOBALIST LEGACY OF A SOCIOPATH
Obama warns against “cynicism” at Ohio
State commencement address
7 May 2013
At a commencement address on Sunday at
Ohio State University, President Barack Obama counseled students not to be
“cynical” about government and politics.
There was an almost comically absurd
element to Obama’s remarks, delivered with his characteristic demagogy and
attempted gestures at profundity. In his
first four years in office, along with the first months of his second term,
Obama proceeded to systematically repudiate every campaign pledge and to
deflate every illusion that, with the assistance of a highly coordinated
marketing campaign, led millions of people, including a large number of young
people, to vote for him in 2008.
The Obama administration handed trillions
of dollars to the banks; has overseen a massive attack on public education; is
leading the campaign to slash Social Security and Medicare, the core federal
retirement and health care programs; expanded the war in Afghanistan, led a war
against Libya, and is preparing a new war in Syria; and has asserted the right
to kill anyone, anywhere, including US citizens, without due process.
After this record of service to the
corporate elite, he declares: “When we turn away and get discouraged and
cynical… we grant our silent consent to someone who will gladly claim it.
That’s how we end up with lobbyists who set the agenda; and policies detached
from what middle class families face every day; the well-connected who publicly
demand that Washington stay out of their business—and then whisper in
government’s ear for special treatment that you don’t get.”
The references to the “whispers” of the
wealthy and well-connected is particularly rich, coming only a week after Obama
nominated Penny Pritzker for commerce secretary. The selection of
Pritzker—a longtime Obama confidant, billionaire heiress and owner of a private
equity company—only underscores the fact that the administration is a
government of, by and for the financial aristocracy. She will be the
wealthiest person ever to serve in a presidential cabinet.
Previous to his appointment of Pritzker,
Obama appointed Mary Jo White to head the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), one of the main financial regulators. White made millions of dollars as an
attorney for banks responsible for the financial crisis, including Bank of
America and JPMorgan Chase, whose CEO, Jamie Dimon, called White the “perfect
choice” to head the SEC.
Practically every cabinet appointee of
Obama’s has close personal connections to the ruling class, many having come
directly from corporate boardrooms. Under Obama’s watch not a single executive
at a major financial firm has been criminally tried, much less sent to jail,
for their role in the financial crisis.
As a whole, Obama’s speech was
characterized by a complete separation from the actual conditions facing the
graduates he spoke to, who confront joblessness, falling wages, and a lifetime
in debt. “You have every reason to believe that your future is bright,” he told
his audience. “You’re graduating into an economy and a job market that is
steadily healing.”
He added later, “The trajectory of this
great nation should give you hope.” Really? This is under conditions in which
over 11 percent of college graduates are unemployed a year after getting out of
school, and another 16.1 percent simply drop out of the labor force, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most of those who do find a job are paid
barely enough to get by, let alone pay off student loans. Wages for young
adults are falling faster than any other part of the population, and are down
by 6 percent in the past four years.
Most of the students that Obama addressed
Sunday will be so burdened with debt that they will delay or have to completely
put off starting a family or buying a home.
It is not surprising that Obama should
neglect to dwell on this disastrous situation, because his administration bears
responsibility for it. In the government-sponsored restructuring of the auto
industry, the White House insisted that the wages of new-hires be slashed in
half, setting the stage for vast reduction of wages throughout the economy.
Obama sought to paint opposition to the
government’s violation of democratic rights as right-wing hysterics.
“Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of
government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity,” Obama said.
“They’ll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should
reject these voices.”
This comes from a president who has
personally overseen the illegal assassination of thousands of people, including
at least three American citizens, in weekly “Terror Tuesday” meetings. The
assertions of executive power have been systematically expanded, going beyond
those claimed even by the Bush administration. The specter of a police
state—the response of the ruling class to growing social opposition—is in fact
lurking around the corner.
The moribund state of American politics,
of which the Obama administration is a principal expression, is, according to
the president, the fault of the American people. “Democracy doesn’t function
without your active participation,” he admonished. If politicians “don’t
represent you the way you want… you’ve got to let them know that’s not okay.
And if they let you down, there’s a built-in day in November where you can
really let them know that’s not okay.”
Such limp efforts to encourage illusions
in the viability of the “democratic process” in the United States will not go
very far. The experience of the past four years has not passed in vain.
Millions of people, including many of those in the audience at Ohio State, are
drawing the quite justified, if “cynical,” conclusion that the entire political
and economic system is rotten to the core.

This manufactured crisis has, in turn, been exploited by the Obama
administration and both big business parties to hand over trillions in pension
funds and other public assets to the financial kleptocracy that rules America.

BANKSTER SOCIALISM
Dimon’s bank received tens of billions of dollars in
government bailouts and many billions more from the
Obama administration’s ultra-low interest rate and “quantitative
easing” money-printing policies. He told his shareholders that
“socialism inevitably produces stagnation, corruption” and
“authoritarian government,” and would be “a disaster for our
country.”… UNLESS IT IS SOCIALISM FOR BANKSTERS AND WALL STREET!
"This paved the way for the elevation of
Trump, the personification of the criminality and backwardness of the ruling
oligarchy."
BLOG: THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OF CRONY CAPITALISM IS THE PARTY OF
BANKSTERS AND BOTTOMLESS BANKSTER BAILOUTS... AND NO PRISON TIME!
Former adviser to President Obama and investor Robert Wolf
told Politico that
the financial industry has changed over the last few decades and that Wall
Street-types are vastly more aligned with the Democrat establishment than
Trump’s GOP.
“I don’t think the stereotypes of the industry serve the same
purpose as they used to,” Wolf said. “People who work in corporate America and
financial services may have the same views that she does on 95 percent of the
issues such as income inequality, student loans, climate change, and others.”
Wall Street and Warren have at least one major policy initiative
in common: A full repeal of Trump’s illegal and legal immigration reforms.
This month, Warren released her
immigration platform that includes increasing overall legal immigration to the
U.S. to provide business with an even greater flow of foreign workers to hire
over Americans, as well as a decriminalization of illegal immigration, an
amnesty for all illegal aliens in the country, and an end of Trump’s reforms
such as his immigration ban from terrorist-sponsored countries and reduction of
the refugee resettlement program.
Like Warren, Wall Street executives have railed against Trump’s
immigration agenda — demanding that his zero-tolerance policy at the
U.S.-Mexico border be ended and opposing his travel ban.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has supported amnesty
for illegal aliens since at least 2016 when he announced support for the
infamous “Gang of Eight” amnesty, saying, “Let them stay and let them build
companies.”
Last month, Dimon said amnesty for
illegal aliens was necessary to grow the economy, saying, “If we do these
policies right, America will be growing a lot faster.”
Some of the top multinational banks — JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup,
Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley — have come out against Trump’s travel ban
that effectively stopped all
immigration from a handful of foreign countries that sponsor terrorism.
“This is not a policy we support, and I would note that it has
already been challenged in federal court, and some of the order has been
enjoined at least temporarily,” former Goldman Sachs CEO
Lloyd Blankfein wrote in a
letter at the time. “Let me close by quoting from our business principles: ‘For
us to be successful, our men and women must reflect the diversity of the
communities and cultures in which we operate … Being diverse is not optional;
it is what we must be.'”
Meanwhile, Citigroup has promoted mass immigration as a
necessary component to growing the American economy in terms of increasing GDP.
A report released by executives
last year championed migration into the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Germany.
For decades, the big business lobby, Wall Street, and donor
class have said mass immigration is crucial to growing GDP in the U.S. though
research has shown that increasing legal immigration levels to an enormous ten
million admissions a year would only grow GDP by about 2.5 percent. Meanwhile,
Trump’s low-migration, high-wage economy has translated to 3.2
percent annual economic growth.
