Trump the “great” twit or tweet or perhaps it’s retweeter…. Hey someone said and pass it on – that’s so “presidential”, but here it is at minute 1:31, with his new sleaze attack on Marco Rubio’s citizenship:
And the “powederedwigsociety”, the original source of the tweet, has a copyright of 2015, although it’s hard to discern who put that website up or runs it, but that didn’t stop Donald Trump from retweeting their garbage.

Donald Trump, the politician, operates just like the Clintons, which should prove very interesting if he actually does hijack the GOP nomination. He is a fraud! His supporters can cough up his carefully crafted book, his sounding tough, he’s a successful businessman and reality TV star and I am sticking to he is a fraud, a con-man, as much a liar as Hillary Clinton, but most of all at heart he’s a petty bully. Hillary is a very dangerous bully, because she is a woman and women like her (sociopaths) will stop at nothing to get what they want (refer back to The Woman’s Way of War).
Frankly, if Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the best America can do for candidates, we deserve to be relegated to laughingstock status on the world stage. Trump is no match for Putin, that’s for sure, but even worse he is no match for Hillary Clinton and besides, I still believe in time my suspicions that Trump hired dem political operatives in the beginning, who are operating in the shadows will prove to be true. No political operatives who really want to win the general election would allow their candidate to intentionally drive his/her negative ratings sky-high and encourage the vile, outrageous outbursts that characterize Trump’s campaign style. He won Iowa and South Carolina in the GOP primary, in a crowded field, but with way less than 50% of the GOP primary voters supporting him. His negative polling consistently is higher than Hillary Clinton’s, often polling above 60% and once the parties have their candidates selected (or a coronation, as the case may be for Hillary), the Clintons will unleash their dirt on Trump and bury him.
Here’s some new oddities in Trump’s sideshow antic out of Iowa, where he held that veteran’s fundraiser to divert attention away from the FOX News debate he was boycotting, because FOX would not let Trump control their choice of moderators. He tried to strong-arm a cable network based on his “feelings” that he wasn’t “being treated fairly.”
So, what happened to the money raised for veterans? Well, some has been disbursed to some veterans groups according to this Weekly Standard report, but their report highlights some warning bells that his Trump Foundation operates much like the Clinton Foundation. When Michael Warren, the reporter emailed the Trump Foundation with questions about the fundraiser this is what happened:
“On Thursday, I contacted the Donald J. Trump Foundation by email with a few questions about how the $6 million had been or was being disbursed. Five minutes later, I received a phone call from Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s presidential campaign manager. Lewandowski said a list of the recipients had been made public and that more recipients were being added all the time. How much had those recipients received? Lewandowski couldn’t, or wouldn’t, say. As a non-profit organization, he said, the Trump Foundation would release all the required details of its disbursements at the end of the fiscal year. To find out before then, he said, I’d have to contact the recipients themselves.
“The list is publicly available,” he said. “You can do your homework and ask the veterans’ organizations.”
Why wouldn’t the Trump Foundation want to publicize how much it had donated? (Especially given the fact that in recent years, Trump’s charity organization had given more money to the Clinton Foundationthan to veterans.) And why, when asking about the Foundation’s disbursements, had a representative of the campaign called? With no other options, however, I took Lewandowki’s advice.”
Why indeed did Trump’s campaign manager respond to questions about the Trump Foundation? That melding of the “charity” with the “political operations” is vintage Clinton and as it turns out, the way Trump does business too. There’s also some big pharmaceutical executive who rents space in Trump Tower, whom some recipients believe is connected to the Trump Foundation:
“”We found out like everybody else did, when the Trump Foundation put the list up on the website,” said Kerri Childress of the Fisher House Foundation, one of the groups on the Trump Foundation’s list. “And frankly we haven’t heard anything since.”
Childress says the Fisher House Foundation has yet to receive a donation, though she was quick to add that it’s not uncommon for pledged donations to take weeks or months to actually be disbursed. Neither has the Task Force Dagger Foundation received a check, says managing director Keith David. “We did receive a check from the Stewart J. Rahr Foundation, and they share the same floor with the Trump Foundation,” David adds. Rahr, a pharmaceutical executive-turned-Manhattan-playboy, is friends with Trump and rents office space in the Trump Tower. It’s not clear whether or not there is a relationship between Trump’s and Rahr’s foundations.
Another vets group, Operation Homefront, posted on its Facebook page that it received a $50,000 donation Monday from the Rahr Foundation, which the group says they “understand is made in connection with Donald Trump.” Beyond that, says Operation Homefront spokesman Aaron Taylor, they don’t know much about it.”
The similarities between Donald Trump and his friends, the Clintons, just keep multiplying, so if it ends up that Trump too hired dem political operatives to help him “win,” don’t act surprised! Sure wish we could track the phone traffic between Trump, some key Clinton sewer rats, and then Bill Clinton… Oh, to be a fly on the wall….

The Pope jumped into the American political race yesterday, so while the Vatican is trying to clarify the Pope’s comment about Trump’s always talking about building a wall, as not being Christian, and offering the building bridges between people as the proper Christian way, lest we get sidetracked, some things struck me as odd, that go well beyond the Pope’s statement and timing to interject himself into US politics.
First, the Pope gave Trump more oxygen to get back to his original appeal, from which he has drifted considerably in recent months – that America’s national security is threatened by uncontrolled borders and illegal immigration. A “wall” and or whatever means are necessary to secure our borders is a primary duty of our federal government, one both political parties have abdicated for decades.
Second, the Pope allowed for Trump to monopolize the media coverage and news cycle heading into a critical GOP primary in South Carolina, on Saturday.
Who knows why the Pope gave Trump more attention, when a Trump loss in SC could speed up a Trump demise, which assuredly the Pope would welcome, as one who obviously aligns with leftist South American social justice politics.
As to Trump’s response, one thing struck me as very odd. For once Trump came out and appeared to be reading prepared remarks and seemed at great pains to keep his emotions in check. I wondered who wrote those remarks for him, because the remarks seemed very tempered compared to Trump’s usual rants and rambling spiels. I’d love to know who Trump’s closest political advisers really are? They aren’t his campaign manager or his snotty campaign spokeswoman, that’s for sure. Once again, who are the real Trump political advisers?

For a long while, I believed the analysis that our going into Iraq fueled the radical Islamic fervor and set the conditions for ISIS to form, but here’s a new look from David French, “The Rise of ISIS Predates the Fall of Saddam Hussein,”
that dismantles my view and it’s worth studying. More information should prod us to reconsider our previous conclusions, especially on complex geopolitical issues. French quotes extensively from Kyle Orton’s New York Times piece, “How Saddam Gave Us ISIS”, so please read both articles. French begins:
“The New York Times has published a necessary corrective to those who view the invasion of Iraq as essentially Year Zero in the Middle East — the origin point for all the calamities that followed. Have you heard that ISIS is George Bush’s fault? Think again. Writing in the Times, Kyle Orton properly attributes the rise of ISIS in Iraq to cultural and religious forces that long pre-dated the American invasion of Iraq. It turns out that Iraq was no more immune to increased radicalization than any other Middle Eastern state, and Saddam reacted in part by embracing the new religiosity”

Jay Nordlinger added, “Saddam and Fille,” which also expands on French’s piece.
Definitely worth taking time to reassess what we think we know about the history of Iraq and ISIS, because sometimes those things that Rumsfeld dubbed “known knowns” are shown to be incorrect, making it imperative to be willing to reassess when new information comes to light.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hopefully, I’ll come up with some original posts soon and in fact, although there’s one in my draft’s folder already written on “Wholesale Public Corruption,” it’s probably best to wait to post that one until a few more bits of evidence pan out conclusively. All of my Messages of mhere story did happen in 1998 and early 1999 – that story is the truth! The larger mystery of why so much effort and money was expended to shut me up, over my comments posted at the online, public, Excite message boards on the Clinton impeachment scandal, has taken longer to unravel. I believe it goes to something deeper than just the Clintons, as stated in recent posts, hence my post “Wholesale Public Corruption”.
Until the moment arrives when I decide to post that, let me express my deep sorrow and also deep fear at hearing of Justice Scalia’s passing yesterday. Another blow to The Constitution being able to survive the forces at play to “fundamentally transform America,” it took only hours before the partisan forces, on both sides, took to the media to lob their attacks at each other. They didn’t even have the respect to let his body be laid to rest, before unleashing this new front in their ongoing battle, really just a smokescreen to dupe the American people, whom they think of as mindless idiots or low information voters. While Americans angrily join these manufactured partisan battles, attacking each other, these power-brokers in America keep consolidating their own power among their elite group, where membership in either political party is by invitation only. So, enough of poltiics today, instead here’s another fascinating historical tidbit from The American Minute:
People often sign Valentine cards with X’s and O’s.
The Greek name for Christ, Χριστό, begins with the letter “X” which in Greek is called “Chi.”
“X” became a common abbreviation for the name Christ.
This is why Christ-mas is abbreviated as X-mas.
In Medieval times, the “X” was called the Christ’s Cross, or “Criss-Cross.”
The “Criss-Cross Row” was the way colonial school children learned the alphabet, where they would start at the X and say “May Christ’s Cross grant me speed (success)” and then proceed to recite the 26 letters.
It reminded students that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”
“Mortals ne’er shall know
More than contained of old the Chris’-cross row.”The Christ’s Cross was a form of a written oath.
Similar to the ancient practice of swearing upon a Bible, saying “so help me God,” then kissing the Bible, people would sign a document with or next to the Christ’s Cross to swear before God they would keep the agreement, then kiss it to show sincerity.
This practice has come down to us as “sign at the X”, or saying “I swear, cross my heart.”
This is the origin of signing a Valentines’ card with an “X” to express a pledge before God to be faithful, and an “O” to seal the pledge with a kiss of sincerity.
So, we still get the kisses part, the O, of XO correct; it was the X meaning hugs that is not. You can read the entire American Minute post at: http://www.americanminute.com/index.php

Hostile foreign infiltration in the Pentagon (and the Obama Administration):
Totally faked!!! The above video was released yesterday. The objective is to make America’s military look weak.
Today in the news Iran (Death to America, remember?) releases this video:
You, the American people are being played by hostile foreign intelligence propagandists, but they have legions of aiders and abettors in the Washington power structure, many whose parents, grandparents, even great-grandparents came to America as foreign agents (many Soviet) and stayed. They also have deep tentacles in our mass media structure too, to include far-right venues, not just in academia or Hollywood, as so many on the right believe. From the beginning, they melded with organized crime elements here. Thus, their progeny now wield a spidery web, no longer retaining those close ideological ties with their home countries, but instead operate on the nepotism model, that one GOP candidate kept referring to as, America is sick of the “permanent political class in Washington”. Just keep in mind, many of that class still engage in slimy information sharing with hostile nations.
Some hold top political positions in the US, but are kept in line by ruthless blackmail, as these hostile intelligence agencies, keep files a long, long time. So, if they possess damning video or photos of, let’s say, for instance, some behavior in Vietnam, that might damage a war hero’s reputation, they might put the screws to these politicians to keep them in line. One might look into the Elizabeth O’Bagy still sitting on John McCain’s staff and both John Kerry and John McCain relying on her Syrian expertise over the expertise of US intelligence analysts and ponder if there’s some other reason to explain why an outed liar is still on the government payroll, other than that she’s young and perky in a Monica Lewinskyesque manner? Alas, she helped McCain and Kerry sell the “moderate Syrian myth” to the detriment of US foreign policy for a long time. And ponder also that in her bio at her ISW paper on Syria she stated, “female militancy” as her thesis topic (alas, I can’t link to it as I am getting “access denied” to that ISW link at the moment, but the guys helping me have kept meticulous records on everything). I still want to know who she is and where she came from?
Please, keep in mind, that while they fed the partisan political divides tearing America apart, they’re doing it to consolidate their own power.
My post describing how the Soviets used women to latch onto top leaders in both the officer and NCO ranks, well they engaged in the same ploys in Washington and especially with the President. I think for every major presidential scandal since 1980, these two forces mentioned above, hostile foreign countries and this web of their agents’ progeny and organized crime here have created all these agitprop scenarios to fuel the partisan divide, with the goal as ultimately to destroy us from within.
Grab your popcorn and start using my profiling method – look for first family connections, then ethnic and religious affiliations and lastly consider political affiliations and you will quickly see the hostile foreign forces at play. So, if say Christiane Amanpour is Iranian and engaged in serious agitprop to get America involved in Bosnia – I believe she is likely an Iranian agent. Amanpour married a key Clinton aide, furthering her reach into the Clinton administration. Despite Bill Clinton being a pig with women, if Monica Lewinsky is Jewish, that would leave a huge question mark in my mind that he was set-up, by another foreign intelligence agency, perhaps Israeli. This is just how it works in the real world. Drudge, where did he come from and who funded him in the beginning, who is his family, and his background?
Every US president has been aggressively targeted since the Soviet Union came into being, then later communist China, Iran, and the MB/Wahabbi/Saudis entered the game too. And all the other countries, both friends and foes, are involved in this intelligence game too, but the alliance of Russia, China, Iran and the Sunni group have colluded to take us down. With the complete collapse of American foreign policy under Obama, even America’s allies have had to recalibrate their own security equations, with many of our closest allies turning to Putin, as the rational actor, world leader, especially in the Mid-East, instead of relying on the United States. It might help if you start avoiding going down that rabid, domestic, partisan-political rabbit hole, that they use to trick us into this endless partisan political in-fighting, and stick mostly to the family connections, then ethnic and religious connections – the picture becomes much clearer that way. I don’t care if people want to write me off as a conspiracy nut – I intend to expose what happened to me during impeachment and stand up for The Constitution, no matter what!

Posted a comment on Andrew McCarthy’s article, “Hillary’s E-mail Recklessness Compromised Our National Security” at National Review.
susanholly Sunday, February 7, 2016 2:19 PM
Mr. McCarthy, I believe that there’s much more afoot than just Clinton corruption on an epic scale or just her email server. Throughout the Cold War, America’s most ruthless enemies pursued aggressive infiltration efforts to destroy us from within. Once the Soviet Union collapsed, we walked away from aggressive counter-measures, choosing to buy into all that “end of history” nonsense in the 90s. The Carville/Begala mass media manipulation is a foreign infiltration program, I believe. Now, we have Sunni/MB infiltration in Hillary’s inner-circle, Iranian infiltration in the White House and Chinese infiltration throughout our government, business and especially in our cyber-activities – all of the social media and realityTV, and talk shows to teach Americans to betray their families on national TV were part of the effort. I feel certain that with the effort to expose the Clinton plot to sabotage the GOP primary, via the Trump effort (with Clinton political operatives working behind the scenes there), much more will come to light that will shock Americans. I believe our government, all the way to the top, all of our mass media (cable networks, to include FOX), the partisan agitators (both left and right) and every institution has been carefully and systematically infiltrated,with people they put in place to foment agitprop, to fuel the partisan divide and to buy or put in place candidates, they control.
The Soviet efforts, focused on usurping both Christian themes (world Peace) and patriotic American themes,wrapping them in the American flag and The Constitution, targeted the political right, making them harder to detect. These programs have run unabated for decades. There are church groups in America that were infiltrated, not just the Catholic church in Central and South America. The Chinese efforts focused on buying up large American companies to use as fronts, buying politicians (Clinton Chinese money ring any bells) and now cyber warfare. The Chinese now own our debt. The left was easier and they’ve succeeded there, the right now sits poised to fall too, because things are not as they seem with this wide GOP field – it’s all kabuki theater, not just Trump. That is my prediction. Screenshot this fast, because I expect this comment to be removed quickly.
My nickname on those old Excite message boards was mhere – a pun of sorts, being an old Cold Warrior myself. Kind of amazing is back then I felt like the last Cold Warrior and here we are infiltrated all the way to the top.
