Trump’s Deal With the Deep State

Guest Post by Bill Bonner

South Beach…

Last week, we were sitting in the hotel restaurant in Miami Beach having breakfast…

A man—about 30—was leaning on the counter. His dirty pants were falling down. He wore a black t-shirt with a skeleton on it. He put his head down on the counter… and said something incomprehensible.

He got a cup of coffee… and staggered over to a chair and flopped down, talking to himself.

After a few minutes, he got up. He clutched his pants, which were almost around his knees. He wobbled. He lurched. He headed for the door and disappeared out through it.

Then, a woman… voluptuous… pretty… dressed in white jeans, with a very low-cut t-shirt came in the same door.

She looked in our direction. She said something. We couldn’t make it out… Was she asking the time of day? Directions? We smiled.

She came towards us and sat down next to us on the couch.

She whispered…

Two young men came in. Shorts. T-shirts. Almost identical outfits. But one wore his baseball cap backwards. They held hands. Smiled at each other. They got cappuccinos.

They left.

South Beach.

Staged Revenge

But let’s turn to our familiar beat—the world of money. Or, more particularly, the world of deceit and delusion known as “economics.” Unromantic. Tawdry. But fascinating.

Last week, we were looking at fake wars. As you know, these are wars that no one wants to win, since their real purpose is to shift wealth from the public to the war-fighting industries.

Our point was that even fake wars sometimes spin out of control—when people forget what kind of war they’re fighting, for example.

Early last week, U.S. President Donald J. Trump was taking the trade war far too seriously. Then, his Deep State handlers must have straightened him out on that; before the week was over, he declared that he wanted to get back into the Trans-Pacific Partnership!

Then, he went off message again… this time, on the war on terrorism. A gas attack against civilians in Syria had been alleged; the president wanted to retaliate.

As you know, no sparrow can fall anywhere on the planet without inviting a U.S. counterattack against the starlings. Observers wondered why the president didn’t wait to find out who had actually perpetrated the attack… if anyone. But they failed to understand the nature of fake war.

It didn’t really matter whether any atrocities had been committed… or who had committed them. As it turned out, the gas attack was most likely fake. Perfect; the U.S. could stage a fake revenge attack, too!

Russia was notified in advance of where and when the U.S. would attack, allowing time for the “enemy”—whoever they are—to make themselves scarce.

The Donald had an opportunity to show what a tough, decisive leader he is without doing any real harm. It was all for the benefit of the fans… and, of course, the Deep State.

So far, so good.

Deep State War

Then, no sooner had we all relaxed when, on Sunday, a new war flared up—the war between Donald J. Trump and the Deep State itself.

Many people think this war is real. Donald J. Trump, they believe, is fighting for “the people”… and the Deep State is trying to stop him. He really wants to drain the swamp, they say; it’s not his fault the water is getting deeper.

Anything is possible.

Mr. Trump’s instincts are clearly “populist”—he certainly understands the showbiz side much better than most politicians. But he is no fool.

Hardly had the sun set on the polling stations in November 2016 when he invited the Wall Street insiders from Goldman Sachs… and a trio of retired generals… to join him in the White House.

But there are many different factions in the Deep State. Like sows at a feeding trough, they bump into each other trying to get at the swill. And the winners are usually those that are most heavily armed.

Leaping ahead, we notice that whenever there is a “populist” movement in politics, it almost always leads to the military wing of the Deep State taking control.

Caesar, Lenin, Mao, Mussolini, Hitler, Perón, Castro—revolutions begun in the name of the “people” tend to degrade into military dictatorships.

Why? Because government is always a way for the few to take advantage of the many… and the fraud is easier to pull off when you can invoke those atavistic “us versus them” emotions.

The lumpen naturally rally ‘round the flag and support the military—no matter how absurd the situation.

And if they don’t, you shoot them.

I actuality – many thoughts. Only the looney “Coaster/Urbie” lib-turds are incapable of anything more than just “one thought”: RACIST.

Did you fucken read the article, doofus? It said that revolutions end in the hands of the military. What part of that do you not understand? This is not a lib/con argument, it is a people vs the state argument. The hoi-polloi can never be allowed to gain control of the government. Ever.

Trump is a freemason !! Freemasons are the only sons-a-b*tches that reach across political, national boundaries in order to bring enough CHAOS to the world for their loooong awaited ruler, Lucifer the light bearer to return and rule !

annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum- and the national motto-and the monuments of the District of Columbia-all brought to the soon to be dead world of innocents !

How about some of you ‘downvoters’ posit a rebuttal ? Or, as is custom with freemasons, remain in the shadows like the cowards that you are !
This is a position I am willing to give my life to defend, and have already suffered financial devastation from defending is this nest of vipers I live in. As a result, my thoughts run faster than my fingers. My last statement above should have read “all brought to the soon-to-be dead world of innocents by generations of freemasons!”

I thought the Jews were supposed to be the evil ones that do what you are claiming Freemasons are doing.

Maybe it’s really all just a mass expression of negative human nature you’re seeing and not really any specific organization or groups actions?

I spend most of my days cringing in fear of the Jewish Jesuit Freemason Knights Templar. Those are the grade A bad mofo’s.

Maybe, Adam did eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In my specific experience, they are thieving freemasons! As far as “the Jews”, what would you mean by that term? Judah was born around 1700 B.C., Solomon (instrumental in Masonic religion) born around 900 B.C., Catholic church founded in 1st century, Knights Templar around 1200 A.D., the Jesuits formed around 1550 A.D. Absolutely BRILLIANT rebuttal….for a dimwit. As for Jake, and the Average Joe below-my guess is that you have never taken a stand for anything except your own pocketbook, and have just rolled over and swallowed all the government has fed you.

Yep. Simple theater. Its purpose is to keep you on that hamster wheel, “producing” and paying your taxes like a good little battery for the state. It really is that simple. Just keep in mind that ALL of this debt that these people take out to continue all of this crap, from the local bond issue to build such and such, to the war machine at the Pentagon, is all backstopped and collateralize by you continuing to show up and pay. You are the collateral. So, what should you do if you are tired of being collateral? Stop producing. Ah, but that is the rub isn’t it? Gotta have that “career”, and get that “degree” so you can get that mortgage and overpriced car. Gotta have that lifestyle. They know it. It is an American weakness. the reality is, the American dream is just that, a dream (to quote Carlin).

It seems there are as many different opinions on why Syria was bombed as Carter had Little Liver Pills. I don’t pretend to have the answers. There’s simply too much involved. The video below is to twist your mind a bit.

Some of you may not have heard of Dr. Steve Pieczenik. I’ll provide a bit of background on him, but I suggest you look him up on your own. I won’t fully cover his bio. It’s too lengthy. Dr. Pieczenik has worked for three or four presidents starting with Carter. His specialties are intelligence and counterintelligence. He’s considered one of the best hostage negotiators/crisis managers in the world. He’s been directly involved with the planning of several regime changes. He co-wrote the letter that helped create Delta Force and other special operation units. Additionally he co-wrote Clancy’s Op Center and Net Force series. There’s much, much more, but that should be enough to gain your interest. I can’t say I agree with everything he says in his videos, but you can never rule him out. Remembering his background, it’s wise to never take him at face value as well. This particular video twists my brain a bit and I thought y’all might enjoy it. It’s another explanation of what happened in Syria. The video was published on Apr 17, 2018.

+1 for the link. Steve P is a smart guy. But he’s asking us to believe the 3D chess bullshit again. After repeal of Obamacare failure, no wall, Omnibus bullshit budget, and not one indictment against the DNC, HRC, the Clinton Foundation, DWS and the Awan brothers, and Donna Brazil or CNN for giving advanced debate questions to hiLIARy, please tell me again how Trump is supporting causes of liberty, freedom, and conservatism?

I would add for my fellow TBP readers, that I have in the past financially supported this website, Rush Limbaugh, USA Watchdog, and Bill Still. I stopped supporting USA Watchdog and Bill Still because both supported the Syrian strikes. Both seem to dis anyone that is critical of that decision. Takes me back to the time when GWB told us about WMD’s and that we should blindly follow his decision to invade Iraq. I’m not following Trump into WW3. Yes, much better than hiLIARy and I love what he’s doing to the MSM so don’t get me wrong. But this Syria and Russian shit STINKS and I’m not going to ignore it. I hope Steve is right. But I doubt it. IMO we’re headed for a nasty forth turning and ain’t nothing no one can do to stop it. Math is math and this coming from a licensed PE with BSCE and MSCE… Chip

As I said in my post, “I can’t say I agree with everything he says in his videos, but you can never rule him out.”

In my opinion, our actions in Syria do stink. They’ve stunk from the get-go (2015 or thereabouts). I’ll take it a step further. I cannot say that we’re the white hats in that mess. As far as a fourth turning/economic collapse/shtf or whatever you want to call it, it’s coming and there ain’t a danged thing you can do about it except prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

we all share your frustration but omnibus is the only thing you can pin on trump & that was a take it or leave it deal–
the ultimate gripe that we all have is w/our friends,relatives,neighbors,etc who are in opposition to what we are & vote for representatives whom we oppose–

Tampa Red is absolutely correct, spot on and completely, with neither equivocation nor sanctimonious frivolous and unnecessary argument or debate…..RIGHT.

The problem IS those who are in opposition to us and vote for whom we oppose.

Now that the problem is properly identified, what is the solution? What do you do about it? Do you have the guts to cut them off or do you still sit around filling your ears with the spew spitting from their driveling mouths?

Eventually the time for debate comes to an end. Actions speak louder than words and fourth turnings are about taking action.

I am not saying he is wrong, I am just saying that he has reason to lie.

Pieczenik was born in Cuba of Jewish parents from Russia and Poland and was raised in France.[1] His father, a doctor from Dombrovicz who studied and worked in Toulouse, France,[2] fled Poland before World War II. His mother, a Russian Jew from Białystok, Poland,[2] fled Europe after many of her family members were killed. The couple met in Portugal, where both had fled ahead of the Nazi invaders.[2] Pieczenik was born in Cuba in 1943.[2][3] After living in Toulouse for six years, Pieczenik’s family migrated to the United States, where they settled in the Harlem area[2] of New York City, New York.[4] Steve Pieczenik was 8 years old when his parents received their entry visa to the United States.

Which is why if any Q-referenced military tribunal is ever formed to try any deep state troll – the libtarded snowflakes will scream “heil Hitler” louder than the attendees of a 1937 Nuremberg Rally.

Trump made a half ass effort to satisfy his campaign promises and gave Conservatives Heartburn (Harpy would’a been a fatal Heart attack). Trump has dropped the baton and we need somebody to pick it up and run with it with conviction. PS: I think Pieczenik is crazy as Hell and so is Trump to bomb Syria. With leaders like this, it is time to move to the mountains.

The bigger problem is a people who no longer want to be free. Freedom requires hard work, thrift, taking responsibility for consequences, etc. When did even a simple majority of our society sign up for that? Never. Freedom is only appreciated by those who have thrown it off.

What would Sam Adam’s tax return look like? Why do I get the impression that it would reflect wild inaccuracies, if filed at all. What would the founders think of the current tax code for example? Perhaps the “dictatorship” emerged, long, long before we were born.

“Perhaps the “dictatorship” emerged, long, long before we were born.” – Around 1913, I believe.

If your not familiar with Bonner the thing about him is the success of his early mostly contrarian “macro” political and economic predictions. I have read all his books, his writing is witty and sardonic. He puts out a free newsletter I read that this post came from …ignore the ads…however his macro predictions have quite a track record.

1. The collapse of the Soviet Union – well before anyone I know of predicted it including the CIA

2. The rise of Islam – about 93

3. Gold as the trade of the decade – about 2000 or 2001 (600% before the Banksters slammed it back in 2011)

4. The Dot Com bubble – well before

5. The 2008 housing mortgage crisis – I think about 2005 or 6

6. The Everything Bubble – my words not his but he has been warning about its inevitably since at least 2012 or 13

I trust Bonner and his stable of “writers” as far as I could throw them. AGORA-A Gaggle Of Robber Asshats.

As aquaintance of mine says the same thing. She is author Lila Rajiva and she co-authored a book with Bonner

As aquaintance of mine says the same thing. She is author Lila Rajiva and she co-authored a book with Bonner called Mobs, Messiahs and Markets.

As far trusting Bonner like I said “ignore the ads” but his big picture macro predictions have been accurate on what I listed…and that is a decent track record.

I thought his 2005-6 book “Empire of Debt” was a pithy and prophetic read considering the year it was published and accurate enough for him and another co-author to come out with an updated version in 2009 called “The New Empire of Debt”.

Here is an interesting related article on who said what when:

George Carlin once said that the “owners” of the country have relegated our lives to a series of insignificant choices…”paper or plastic.” In CA in 2018, I can’t even choose plastic. We are owned slaves for the most part, even if we make good money.
