Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

This part of capitalism that I do not get it, I thought there was supposed to be a certain love for the customs, values, ideals etc. that come with citizenship.

Those who are wealthy have no need to migrate because the poorer the country the more influence and profit they have because of corruption, lower standard and wages, and they probably can buy citizenships of most countries so this decision does not sound very logical and that it will have results they wished. Better to be open to those poorer people that need it more with some background checks and controls. It would be ironic if those cartel bosses from Latin America apply.

They can afford it and, it would be a good opportunity to launder money..

On the other hand, what Trump would be offering beyond what, I assume, is currently being done and did not say it.
 
Been reading John Stewart Mill's On Liberty and I am left with " We have yet to free ourselves " .
It seems to be the constant through generations and eons and today swinging in my hammock of ignorance I have learnt that only the few manage it.
I carry the awful presentiment that for us called the simple victims, that won't be allowed if it were to take place.
Today Mr. Trump meets another carrier of a grotesque sense of entitlement , this time representing Perfidious Albion , who believes it is forever with its woke , liberal , totalitarianism.
He is bound to fail of course, like it did with the Frenchman who did his best to hold Trump's hand.
I have learnt that Trump is a web weaver, very clear sometimes, and his master voice demanded simply their obedience by upping their defence and buying plenty of American weapons to retain his good graces and that is about it.
Europe lost its power.
But how far will Trump 's rebranding of America go with Putin's challenge ?
With his Hypersonic Power ?
What Master Putin asks is : Does the leopard change its spots ?
And then : What is your offer ?
Putin holds the cards.
Perhaps he is one who has learned to free himself.
 
It's one of the weirdest things he's posted really, and would be kind of funny if it weren't so horrible. It just gives the impression that he doesn't give a crap, at all, about appearances. Too far in that direction, in my view. Not helpful.
It's so cringe, so wrong that he posted it, so wrong if someone forced him to post it-could have been the case-. Even though, If Trump just carried away, by the gold -I guess- is not justified. In the understanding that he is not allowed to show some empathy to the pain of the Palestinians, he should at least have avoided posting a video with bearded dancers dressed as women.
 
Is this video a fake ? : Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
If not, then it is quite revealing about the dementia in process !
I don't think it's dementia, but something so cringey and inappropriate for a situation of ethnic cleansing and genocide does make one wonder what's going on.

For now, I'll assume that Trump had a half-baked idea, full of loose ends, and now he's running with it because that's all he can do. Later, somebody probably made the video on their own and it reached him. So he loved it, because it's his idea, he loves his own opinions, which are big, beautiful opinons, the best opinions. He missed the bearded women, he didn't mind the Elon and Bibi cameos, and he didn't consider what's really going to happen to those 2 million people. Which the video doesn't really cover, and which is the big question, really.
 
Just ran into this news item as the first public act of Tulsi in the administration

Job 'axing' of more than 100 U.S. intelligence employees over sexually perverted chats

The obscenities posted on the internal network of the special services, which a media outlet brought to light on Monday, are “horrible” and violate professional standards, said Tulsi Gabbard.

The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, ordered the dismissal of more than 100 employees of the community under her charge for having used a work chat room for explicitly sexual conversations.

This is “a flagrant violation of the trust” of the American people, contrary to “the basic norms and standards of professionalism,” she said in a comment to Fox News on Tuesday night. He also described as “horrible” the behavior of the group of agents involved, promised that their “security clearances will be revoked” and that the Administration will continue to “clean house”.

City Journal reporters were able to access some records on Monday that made it clear that the Intelink messaging program had been used for about two years to discuss sexual perversions, polyamorous relationships and gender reassignment surgeries.

Everything around Israel is where Trump is showing his worst side so far, while his actions regarding Russia and Ukraine have been surprisingly good, I would even say way better than most expected. The US even voted with Russia against the Europeans regarding Ukraine in the UN recently.

It also looks like the EU with its globalist eurocrats may become a sort of battlefield for Trump. Between Trump apparently wanting to squeeze the EU (25% tariffs, no cheap Russian gas, demanding 5% military spending) and the eurocrats going full Orwell and pursuing economic self-destruction, the future of the EU countries does look pretty dire.

It remains to be seen how much Trump can do in terms of 'regime change' in the EU towards more nationalist parties. The first attempt in Germany was sort of a failure, probably involving a lot of rigging by the globalists.
 
Tucker Carlson has followed up on the topic of gold at Fort Knox in the following interview with Luke Gromen. Hadn't heard of Gromen before, he runs a company called FFTT, or Forest For the Trees for investors. Here's his bio:

Luke Gromen has become one of the most respected names in the global research sector. Having been in the industry for 20+ years and earning a reputation as a client-focused analyst with an unparalleled ability to make broad connections between increasingly siloed industry news and drawing conclusions that help investors understand the bigger picture. Luke offers unique and insightful research derived from a wide variety of sources that provide a clearer picture of global macroeconomic, thematic, and sector trends.

Luke founded FFTT, LLC in early 2014 to address and leverage the opportunity he saw created by applying what clients and former colleagues consistently described as a “unique ability to connect the dots” during a time when he saw an increasing “silo-ing” of perspectives occurring on Wall Street and in corporate America. FFTT caters to institutions and sophisticated individuals by aggregating a wide variety of macroeconomic, thematic and sector trends in an unconventional manner to identify investable developing economic bottlenecks for his clients.

Prior to founding FFTT, Luke was a founding partner of Cleveland Research Company, where he worked from 2006-14. At CRC, Luke worked in sales and edited CRC’s flagship weekly thematic research summary piece (“Straight from the Source”) for the firm’s clients. Prior to that, Luke was a partner at Midwest Research, where he worked in equity research and sales from 1996-2006. While in sales, Luke was a founding editor of Midwest’s widely-read weekly thematic summary (“Heard in the Midwest”) for the firm’s clients, in which he aggregated and combined proprietary research from Midwest with inputs from other sources.

Luke Gromen holds a BBA in Finance and Accounting from the University of Cincinnati and received his MBA from Case Western Reserve University. He earned the CFA designation in 2003.

1:22:15 Should You Invest in Gold?

An interesting point raised is that gold has two classifications - Monetary Gold and Non-Monetary Gold. These classifications are related to physical gold and not to associated paper or digital trading instruments.

Non-monetary gold covers all gold other than monetary gold. Monetary gold is owned by monetary authorities and held as a reserve asset. Non-monetary gold can be in the form of bullion (i.e. coins, ingots, or bars with a purity of at least 995 parts per 1,000, including such gold held in allocated gold accounts), gold powder, and gold in other unwrought or semi-manufactured forms.

Groman states at 7:18 :"Monetary gold, to your point, doesn't have to be declared as it moves is how I understand the rules. And so when you see monetary gold movements there is still very much an element of secrecy and non-transparency and yes some of that is the publics money and its not being disclosed why it's moving and how much exactly.

IOW and if Groman is correct, the government hasn't technically broken the law if there is gold missing from Fort Knox. They may as well have left the doors open! Those funds may have been used fraudulently, but since they're unlikely to be traced tracking criminal activity could be very difficult. But since private gold holdings are classified as non-monetary gold, then it is breaking the law if it cannot be tracked and traced.

At 25:11 they reference Howard Buffet writing that the convertibility of gold is essential to human freedom. I've attached a .pdf on Buffets 1948 article below. Buffet opens the article with:

Is there a connection between Human Freedom and A Gold Redeemable Money? At first glance it would seem that money belongs to the world of economics and human freedom to the political sphere.

But when you recall that one of the first moves by Lenin, Mussolini and Hitler was to outlaw individual ownership of gold, you begin to sense that there may be some connection between money, redeemable in gold, and the rare prize known as human liberty.

Also, when you find that Lenin declared and demonstrated that a sure way to overturn the existing social order and bring about communism was by printing press paper money, then again you are impressed with the possibility of a relationship between a gold-backed money and human freedom.

Lots more of interest in that interview for an understanding of the geo-political uses of gold.

Trump has indicated a number of times that it would be good to bring back the gold standard. In a 2015 GQ interview he said: " “Bringing back the gold standard would be very hard to do, but boy, would it be wonderful. We’d have a standard on which to base our money.” In another interview “We used to have a very, very solid country because it was based on a gold standard.” The problem with doing that seems to be that there isn't enough gold to in US holding to cover it's the US debt.

Whether bringing back the gold standard equates to returning to currency to gold convertability, I don't know.

Investing News Network covers the idea of returning to the gold standard here.

... he didn't consider what's really going to happen to those 2 million people. Which the video doesn't really cover, and which is the big question, really.

I watched the video and then on the news at noon yesterday, while I was making lunch, they played it. I let my mind wander and came up with a scenario (that has no basis in reality).

US becomes owner of Gaza. Gaza becomes a resort state. The Palestinians get to stay in Gaza to become the 'employees' of the resorts owned by the Israelis. Then a feeling followed shortly after of Pompeii for some reason. But, like I said, this was just a scenario.

The simple fact about what is displayed : greed, money, luxury etc. What kind of a world is that ? Isn't it the core of our civilization madness ?

I think the core of our civilization, as is the case with all others, is lessons. In other words, a civilization is the organized site of battle between light and darkness at a given time, in a given place, for a given people. And it transforms according to certain objective criteria. There sure is a lot darkness and madness nowadays, but there is also light and reason if you look for it.
 
What Trump is suggesting is that fighting lawlessness with more lawlessness works, which is doubtful.

Especially since the courts will continue to stop him and there is not much he can do about it, short of an actual dictatorial coup and dismantling of the checks and balances.
This breaking of laws by Trump also sounds suspicious to me, such as deliberate misinformation. The point I wanted to make here is the judges attempting to stop Trump are breaking the law themselves. They don't have constitutional powers over the Executive branch and are trying to use a power they don't have, corrupt as can be. Their removal from office is in the works in several cases. This issue may end up in the Supreme Court where they should be quickly shot down since the separation of powers is very clear in this matter.
Maybe, but that is not how the US constitution or legal system work. Unless you are in favor of disregarding those, then breaking laws by Trump's team will likely have legal consequences in courts (all the way up to the Supreme Court).\
From what I've gathered, its of supreme importance for the Trump team to follow the law scrupulously. It's importance is to restore law and order which has been lost and also leaves no way for the criminals to escape the rule of law and the evidence presented against them.
