 DID DONALD TRUMP PREDICT 9/11 MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE TERRORIST ATTACKS?
http://www.inquisitr.com/2507843/did-donald-trump-predict-911-more-than-a-year-before-terrorist-attacks/

A newly uncovered book seems to indicate Donald Trump predicted 9/11, the worst terrorist attacks to date on American soil, more than a year before it happened.

The liberal media and even some conservative outspoken critics have dismissed Donald Trump's candidacy from the start, but after his unconventional debate appearances, the Republican hopeful continues to dominate the headlines and lead the polls. Now, an article from Buzz Feed is making waves, because it seems to show Trump predicted 9/11 19 months before it happened.

In his 2000 book The America We Deserve, the billionaire entrepreneur describes with chilling accuracy what would become a reality when terrorists hijacked planes on the morning of September 11, 2001.

"I really am convinced we're in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers. No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if, but when it will happen.

"One day we're told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jet fighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it's on to a new enemy and new crisis."

It is apparently clear that when Donald Trump predicted 9/11, he even knew where the threat would come from, as he mentions Osama bin Laden by name. CNN's national security analyst, vice president at New America, and a professor of practice at Arizona State University, Peter Bergen, says Trump may just be right about 9/11.

A heated debate has ensued between Republican presidential hopefuls Jeb Bush and Donald Trump after the latter questioned assertions by the former Florida Governor that his brother, President George W. Bush, kept America safe after the 9/11 attacks.

"The fact is we had the worst attack in the history of our country during his reign. Jeb (Bush) said we were safe during his reign. That wasn't true."

According to Bergen, the Bush administration did not recognize bin Laden and al-Qaeda's threat to the U.S. at the time. This despite the group's deadly attacks on the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, which killed more than 200 people, as well as the USS Cole bombing two years later, which killed 17 American sailors.

During his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump has minced no words stating how he would keep the U.S. safe and bring "real leadership" to the White House. With the uncovering of his book's quotes, pundits are once again following his narrative, something that has happened throughout the campaign.

In his book, Trump realizes he is making waves in the pre-9/11 world, however, this doesn't prevent him from asking if the Bush administration is truly recognizing the threats posed by Bin Landen.

"The biggest threat to our security is ourselves, because we've become arrogant. Dangerously arrogant. It's time for a realistic view of the world and our place in it. Do we truly understand the threats we face? And let me give a warning: You won't hear a lot of what follows from candidates in this campaign, because what I've got to say is definitely not happy talk. There are forces to be worried about, people and programs to take action against. Now."

At the time Donald Trump predicted 9/11, he was considering a presidential run for as a candidate for the Reform Party and not too many took him seriously. Fifteen years later, his premonitions are making more waves because of their chilling accuracy.

What do you think of the revelation that Donald Trump predicted 9/11 a year earlier?

Terrifying Trump mask a hit for Mexico Halloween
https://www.rt.com/news/319451-trump-mask-halloween-mexico/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome
A latex mask of US billionaire and presidential hopeful Donald Trump is one of the favorites in the run-up to Halloween celebration this year. Trump's popularity rivals that of fugitive kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.

Trump has become arguably the most hated man south of the border after describing Mexican immigrants as criminals, drug sellers and rapists. Trump masks sold in Mexico depict the real estate mogul with his mouth agape and a caricature blond hairdo.

The other popular villain for next week's celebration in Mexico, Guzman, got into media the spotlight in June after escaping a maximum security prison. It was his second successful prison break.

In Mexico, Halloween on October 31 traditionally plays second fiddle to the Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 1. But the trick-or-treat holiday has been gaining popularity as well.

PANIC, because Trump is going to WIN, and the Republicans HATE him.

GOP ESTABLISHMENT'S RICK WILSON: DONOR CLASS MUST 'PUT A BULLET IN DONALD TRUMP'
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/28/gop-establishments-rick-wilson-donor-class-must-put-a-bullet-in-donald-trump/

On Tuesday evening, establishment Republican consultant Rick Wilson said the GOP establishment donor class must find a way to "put a bullet" in GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

In an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes, Wilson conceded that "Trump is still a very powerful force right now" because he appeals to part of the of the conservative base that Wilson said was activated by his "nativist" message. Wilson insisted that the donor class "can't just sit back on the sidelines and say, 'oh well, don't worry, this will all work itself out.'"

"They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump," Wilson said. "And that's a fact."

Republican establishment figures who have underestimated Trump since he entered the race are reportedly looking to raise millions to try to derail Trump and knock him out of the race. Wilson added that the Republican establishment must figure out a way to find a candidate who can successfully "post up" against Hillary Clinton because "neither Donald Trump or Ben Carson is ready to go up against the Clinton machine. Wilson claimed that Trump and Carson are "obviously not ready for primetime."

Wilson, who tried to use the disgusting rape threat made against his daughter to score political points against Breitbart News and Breitbart News Editor-at-Large John Nolte, has denigrated Trump and his supporters throughout the election cycle.

During a September CNN interview, Wilson told Erin Burnett that Trump could "eat a live baby on television" and Trump's supporters "would think it's the greatest thing in America." He has also demeaned Trump's supporters as "low-information" rubes and has likened them to "post-rational" conspiracy theorists.

In an interview with CNN's Don Lemon, Wilson said Trump's message "doesn't have to make sense" for his supporters to back him and compared Trump to someone who is a conspiracy theorist like "your cranky uncle at Thanksgiving" who always has a theory about the Bilderbergers or the World Bank, or the IMF, or the Trilateral Commission."

Trump has never referred to any of these entities on the stump–all Trump has said is that America has signed unfair trade deals in which America's stupid leaders let other countries take advantage of the U.S. to the detriment of American workers. But Wilson claimed that Trump has a "very strange, sort of parochial, old-fashioned view of the world and the international economy."

"And this thing, I'm going to bring back the jobs from China. OK. The $2-an-hour jobs making wire harnesses for computers. It's just a fantasy," Wilson said.

Trump has been like Teflon in this election cycle because so many Americans are fed up with out-of-touch establishment consultants like Wilson and their preferred candidates like Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%. Wilson and his ilk charge candidates hefty sums to "advise" them on how to appeal "regular Americans," but he and the consultant class have not only shown that they are clueless about independent voters and Reagan Democrats who determine elections, but, perhaps more disturbingly, revealed how much disdain and contempt they have for blue-collar Americans of all backgrounds who are not versed in the lingo of the tactician class.

GOP establishment consultants often preach that "politics is about addition" when taking shots at conservatives for rhetoric that they do not like or think will turn off "independents," but those like Wilson have been quick to attack Trump and his supporters with inflammatory language that they would never tolerate from conservative candidates and their grassroots supporters.

Jewish Republicans Line Up Against Donald Trump
Donald Trump's Rise Sparks Widespread Angst Among Jewish Republicans
http://www.mintpressnews.com/jewish-republicans-line-up-against-donald-trump/211579/

"There are a lot of folks who are, to be charitable, into white identity politics, and to be uncharitable are outright racists, who are supporting Trump," said Nathan Wurtzel, a Republican political consultant and principal at The Catalyst Group, who is Jewish. "It's very off-putting and disturbing." 

At a recent board meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition, the big donors and high-powered operatives in the room went around the table to make sure they had someone supporting each potential Republican nominee.

Jeb Bush backers were easy to find. Supporters of Marco Rubio, too, were plentiful. Ted Cruz had friends there, as did Scott Walker, and even George Pataki and Lindsey Graham. The Republican Jewish elite have spread themselves wide across the GOP firmament.



Yet Donald Trump, who has topped 20% to lead all other Republicans in recent presidential primary polls, and who also leads the pack in both Iowa and New Hampshire, is a different story. An RJC member who was present at the board meeting said he could not recall if Trump had backers there. What is clear is that, despite his surge in the polls, the anti-immigration hard-liner has strikingly little support among prominent Republican Jewish donors, activists and consultants.

Many Republican Jewish leaders remain unwilling to speak about Trump. The RJC's spokesman did not respond to a request to speak for this story; neither did former Republican National Committee chair Ken Mehlman, who is a member of the RJC's board; former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer, also an RJC board member, or former Republican House majority leader Eric Cantor, who has been close to the group.

Jewish Republicans' critiques of Trump, when they can be convinced to air them, fall into two categories. Most echo the concerns of the Republican establishment, deriding the real estate developer and former reality show star who is advocating selective tax increases on the wealthy as unserious. They worry that he will drive away nontraditional Republican voters. Others, however, have deeper concerns.

"There are a lot of folks who are, to be charitable, into white identity politics, and to be uncharitable are outright racists, who are supporting Trump," said Nathan Wurtzel, a Republican political consultant and principal at The Catalyst Group, who is Jewish. "It's very off-putting and disturbing."

Trump's pundit-defying rise has highlighted the distance between the Republican Party's growing Jewish caucus and some parts of its base. That's an unlikely role for Trump, who has perhaps the most personal ties to the Jewish community of any Republican candidate: His daughter Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism in 2009, and Trump has lived his life in the heavily Jewish milieu of upper-class Manhattan. "Not only does he have a daughter who is... Shabbat observant, but he's also a brash, outspoken real estate magnate," said Jeff Ballabon, a Jewish Republican activist. "In some sense he seems more like an insider than an outsider to our culture."

Republican Jewish leaders, certain that with each major gaffe Trump would sink himself, are only beginning to take Trump seriously. Fred Zeidman, an RJC board member, Bush supporter and major Republican fundraiser, said in late August that he had not yet discussed Trump with other RJC board members. "I don't think anybody thought this was as serious as it is," he said.

Republican Jewish operatives have worked hard in recent decades to pave inroads into the party for Jewish voters, and to jack up Jewish support for Republican candidates. To that end, the RJC has cultivated candidates like Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel, who ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Senate in 2012, and former Hawaii governor Linda Lingle, who now serves on the group's board. Recent polls show that those efforts could be working: A January Gallup report found that only 61% of American Jews called themselves Democrats in 2014, down from 71% in 2008. The percentage of Americans at large who call themselves Democrats has fallen only seven points over the same period.

Jewish Republicans, however, don't look quite like other Republicans. Many RJC board members are pro-choice and support same-sex marriage, which puts them at a distance from much of the party. And while some Jewish Republicans share wholeheartedly in the party's conservative ideals, the RJC and its allies have also been working to attract Jewish moderates and liberals, who simply believe the Democrats have been unfriendly to Israel. Some worry that it's these Jewish supporters who could be put off by Trump.

"I think Trump could make the Republican party look unattractive to people who are more moderate in nature, to the extent the party is made to look more unwelcoming," Wurtzel said.

The problem with Trump for these Republican Jewish activists isn't necessarily Trump's positions, to the extent that they exist, on top-line issues for Jewish voters. Republican Jewish elites see Trump as a hawkish supporter of Israel, like nearly all other members of the Republican primary field. In a September 3 interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump said he would support unilateral action by Israel against Iran, and called Benjamin Netanyahu "a friend."

Instead, Trump is seen as a threat to the vision of a bigger, more inclusive GOP, which many leading Republican Jews have advocated.

"In order for us to become a party [of anyone] other than white men, we need to be reaching out," Norm Coleman, a former senator from Minnesota, told the Forward. Coleman, an RJC board member who is supporting Graham's primary bid, said, "I think Trump's language and perspective is a long-term negative in terms of building the party."

A Gallup poll released in late August showed that Hispanics have exceptionally negative opinions about Trump, while their opinions about the rest of the Republican candidates range from mildly positive to slightly negative.

Following Mitt Romney's decisive defeat in 2012, RJC board member Fleischer and a handful of other major party figures collaborated on a report to the Republican National Committee. The report argued, in part, that the GOP needed to reach out to growing ethnic minority groups, particularly Hispanics, to remain competitive amid changing national demographics. While Bush has built those appeals into the bedrock of his campaign, Trump appears to be crumpling such hopes and throwing them back in the face of the party establishment. Trump has gotten into a shouting match with a popular Univision anchor, doubled-down on his right to be offensive toward women, and continually hyped a purported violent threat posed by undocumented immigrants.

In the process, Trump has also drawn the backing of an enthusiastic contingent of white nationalists. "You'll see it a lot on the Internet," said Wurtzel, who is active on Twitter. In a New Yorker article published in late August, writer Evan Osnos quoted Richard Spencer, head of a white nationalist think tank, saying that Trump embodies "an unconscious vision that white people have — that their grandchildren might be a hated minority in their own country."

"It's because he can say anything he wants and get away with it," Wurtzel said.

Some Republican Jewish activists were less concerned that the fringe elements drawn to Trump could damage the Republican cause among Jews. Lee Cowen, a longtime Republican Jewish strategist who runs the firm Cowen Consulting, likened the Republican fringe to far-left elements of the Democratic Party. "For me, for a long time, the positions of the party and the vast majority of the people that follow the party far outweigh the negative elements," Cowen said.

At the same time that they struggle with its implications, Republican Jewish activists say they get the roots of Trump's appeal. "I'm sympathetic to people out there who are angry, upset," Wurtzel said. "I understand the frustration, I understand the anger." What's left is for them and their allies to harness those feelings for their own candidates.

"Trump may not be the solution, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem," Wurtzel said.

Dec 2 :  Trump gives interview on the AJ show .... Whats going on here ?

[MikeWB]

Trump just told jews off:

https://twitter.com/cspan/status/672470731624603648

HAHAHAHAH... incoming butthurt and "anti-semitism" charges. Read the comments from others to this tweet:

https://twitter.com/DGAT21stCent/status/672483299810394112

Vox, that horrible rabid jеw site, is mad:

[yankeedoodle]

Trump just told jews off:

Have to disagree a little bit.  How is it telling-off the jews when he says he'll be "the best thing that could ever happen to Israel?"

Let's analyze what's going on here: the fucking jews get a candidate that worships Israhell, and it doesn't cost them a fucking penny!!!

We goys should be so lucky to have such a telling off.  The reason the jews don't offer him money is because they ALREADY own him.

Hey, jews, KEEP YOUR MONEY...PLEASE, KEEP YOUR MONEY.  I don't want your money.  It's nothing personal.  PLEASE,  KEEP YOUR MONEY. 

That's music to a jew's ears. 

[MikeWB]

That "the best thing that could ever happen to Israel" is nonsense. No jеw is buying that. Trump's an america first goy who will not fight wars for Israel. He even likes Putin. Neocons are shitting their pants right now.

[yankeedoodle]

Ahhhhh, shit.  Don't tell me you aren't smart enough to know that the jews will do a false flag, pinning the blame on the Moooossssslllluuuummmmsss, and then "America First" Donald Trump will fight an "America First" war that accomplishes everything the jews wanted him to accomplish, without him even thinking he did it for the jews.  A war undertaken because of a false-flag done by the jews is a war for the jews.  For fuck sake.  The jews wouldn't have done the false flag, otherwise. 

Having said that, Trump is more desirable than the bitch Hillary or those fucking Cubans, Cruz and Rubio.  But, the jews won't object too much if 1) Trump gets elected and 2) they get to keep their money. 

The only fear the jews have is that Trump appeals to the tea-partiers, and the jews see them as racists, and the jews have always used the blacks as a buffer between them and the tea-party types.  They see the tea-partiers as a threat to that buffer.

On August 8, 2016, Yankee Doodle predicted Trump would win.  As they say, you heard it here first.
http://theinfounderground.com/smf/index.php?topic=19509.msg77280#msg77280

Now, the Republican Party is in agreement. 

Baker's memo, titled "Observations on Donald Trump and 2016," amounts to a clear-eyed approach to the Trump challenge, to which many Republican elites have responded with only hand-wringing and the vague hope that somehow, someday it will disappear. In fact, the memo posits that Trump could build a powerful enough coalition to win the general election.   

Private memo lays out how the GOP would deal with Trump as its nominee

 Trump is a Misguided Missile. Let's face facts. Trump
says what's on his mind and that's a problem. Our
candidates will have to spend full time defending him or
condemning him if that continues.

JEWS BOO TRUMP
Trump is booed at Republican Jewish gathering for refusing to back undivided Jerusalem
http://mondoweiss.net/2015/12/trump-israel-christmas?utm_source=Mondoweiss+List&utm_campaign=abe1401617-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b86bace129-abe1401617-398535957

Trump also told the AP that a peace deal would be a really great achievement but that it required Israel to make concessions.

"A lot will have to do with Israel and whether or not Israel wants to make the deal — whether or not Israel's willing to sacrifice certain things," Trump said. "They may not be, and I understand that, and I'm OK with that. But then you're just not going to have a deal." 

The jews booed Trump, because he thinks he is the world's greatest deal-maker, and he told them that if they want him to make a peace deal, then Israhell would have to make concessions, including sharing Jerusalem.  Of course, we all know that the jews don't want peace; until, of course, all the Palestinians are dead or diaspora-ized. 

Trump didn't seem too bothered, and willingly conceded that there would be no peace.  Of course, peace will be the last thing on his mind, when he gets to be President, and gets to play with the bombs so he can deal with them damned Mooossssllluumm tare-ists.   

The jews don't want the world's greatest deal-maker making any deals.  The jews think they are the world's greatest deal-makers.  They don't want him making any deals that don't suit them, and the fact that they don't - yet -  completely control him bothers them.

Somehow, someway, however, they will make sure he does what they want.

Trump is booed at Republican Jewish gathering for refusing to back undivided Jerusalem
http://mondoweiss.net/2015/12/trump-israel-christmas?utm_source=Mondoweiss+List&utm_campaign=abe1401617-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b86bace129-abe1401617-398535957

Donald Trump was booed today at the Republican Jewish Coalition conference for refusing to say that Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of Israel. He said that making such an assertion would remove his ability to negotiate a deal between the Palestinians and Israel if he becomes president.

Today all the Republican candidates are pandering to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington (livestream here).

Trump began that hard labor last night at a fairground in northern Virginia. To a question from the audience, "Can you talk about Israel?" Trump said, Sure.

Well I love Israel and Israel is our real strong supporter if you look at what is going on. And I will tell you what– and I will say it here. My people say, Oh don't say... But very soon I will be going to Israel I will be meeting with Bibi Netanyahu who is a great guy.

I actually– he asked me to make a commercial during his election run. And I made a commercial. Meaning, I said nice things about him. He's a good man, he's worked very hard, he has absolutely no support from President Obama. Absolutely none. So I will tell you I am very very very pro-Israel.

In a conversation with the Associated Press, Trump says his visit will happen after Christmas:

Trump said a key to peace negotiations would be meeting early in his presidency with top leaders in the region. He said he planned to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a trip to Israel "sometime after Christmas, probably."

Trump also told the AP that a peace deal would be a really great achievement but that it required Israel to make concessions.

"A lot will have to do with Israel and whether or not Israel wants to make the deal — whether or not Israel's willing to sacrifice certain things," Trump said. "They may not be, and I understand that, and I'm OK with that. But then you're just not going to have a deal."

"If I win, I'll let you know six months from the time I take office," he added.

Trump was short on specifics about how he would tackle trying to broker peace in the Middle East, or even whether he supports the longstanding U.S. government goal of a two-state solution — saying he didn't want to show any bias in favor of one side or the other in case he does become president...

"I think if I get elected, that would be something I'd really like to do," Trump said during the interview at his golf club in northern Virginia. "Because so much death, so much turmoil, so much hatred — that would be to me a great achievement. As a single achievement, that would be a really great achievement."

Trump has actually been more distanced from the Israel lobby at times than other candidates.

Today Trump told the donors gathered at the Republican Jewish Coalition: "You're not going to support me because I don't want your money"– even though he will be "the best thing for Israel." And:

Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to Israel.

Also at the Republican Jewish Coalition conference, Ted Cruz just called President Obama Neville Chamberlain coming back from Munich on the Iran deal, and said the U.S. has to "stop" the Iran nuclear program by any means. He said that voting for Hillary Clinton was voting to give Iran nuclear weapons.

Also note that a Republican Jewish Coalition official refers to many of his constituents as "staunchly pro-choice." Meaning: these conservative Jews are against social conservatism. They're pure neocons: militant foreign policy.

The AP is speaking of the RJC openly as the "Adelson primary."

Sheldon Adelson spent more on the 2012 federal elections than any other donor, putting up about $90 million of his family's money.

Trump wasn't anti-Semitic
http://mondoweiss.net/2015/12/trump-wasnt-semitic?utm_source=Mondoweiss+List&utm_campaign=27295c04fe-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b86bace129-27295c04fe-398535957

Donald Trump's comments to the Republican Jewish Coalition yesterday about his audience including great negotiators who want to buy candidates were not anti-semitic, as a lot of liberal writers are claiming. The quips were a generalization, surely, but an accurate one.

Trump has expressed bigotry against Hispanics and Muslims, but he is surely immunized from bigotry in this case because he was describing a quality he values more than anything else, dealmaking. I don't see how you can be anti-semitic if you're praising a trait you love in yourself.

More important, this was a moment of truth-telling. The (mostly) men in that room are there because they're wealthy and they're shopping for pro-Israel candidates. I saw this same crowd at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem raising money for Mitt Romney in 2012. You didn't get into the lunch by having good ideas. It was a $50,000-a-plate meal. Buying candidates for Israel is the name of the game. Foreign Policy wrote recently that big donors are making the pro-Israel issue the test of being Jewish– "In the Jewish community, the big donors have unnuanced views on Israel," said one Jewish critic. Rabbi Steven Gutow of the Jewish Council on Public Affairs said a month ago that the Jewish community has given too much power to rightwing pro-Israel donors. "In our community, there is this strange hegemony of big donors demanding control of decisions."

Again: that's the money Trump was addressing. He knows many of them from business. The guy who introduced him even made a joke about a $10 side-bet he'd made on what Trump wouldn't say.

You don't think money in politics is corrupting? I do. A few weeks back Trump said that Marco Rubio would become the "perfect little puppet" of Sheldon Adelson if Adelson supports him, and it was a true statement. Rubio won't be out-Israel'ed by anyone, as he showed yesterday in denouncing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions in his speech, and saying Jerusalem will always be Israel's capital, and he'll shred the Iran deal. Trump to his credit did not make those promises. In fact, he got booed for refusing to say that Jerusalem must remain undivided. Though he loves Netanyahu, who can doubt that's his real sentiment. What's the source of his independence?  Because he's not looking for money, he's not bought and paid for by the Israel lobby, as Tom Friedman once wrote about the Congress.

The liberal press's willingness to shame Trump on this point – even Matt Katz was echoing it on NPR—demonstrated the self-censoring refusal of the press to acknowledge the basis of the lobby's power, donations. Israelis are more honest about this. As Ynet wrote not long ago, "How did American Jews Get So Rich?" and said that Jewish wealth had been essential to Israel.

There is no doubt that American Jews' huge success helped Jews survive in Israel. "The help is beyond the actual donations," says [Rebecca] Caspi [an executive at the Jewish Federations]. "The federal aid arrives largely thanks to the Jewish pressure.

Jodi Rudoren said at the Jewish Community Center the other night that the Israel story is an important story for her newspaper, the New York Times in part because the names of so many American Jews are on buildings and organizations in Israel. I think of Robert Kraft, Sheldon Adelson, and Irving Moskowitz, among others. American Jews spend money on Israel, here and there. When Larry Summers got pushed out of the Harvard presidency ten years back, Martin Peretz ascribed the push to"anti-Israel" and "anti-Jewish bias" and said he knew of several donations of 100s of millions of dollars that were now in jeopardy. Live by the sword, die by it.

It may be politically correct to say that Jews are no different economically than anyone else, but this defies the truth. We are the wealthiest group by religion in the United States. That Ynet article relates all the numbers, a quarter of the Forbes 400, etc. Many of the top media owners, from Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook to Brian Roberts of Comcast to the Sulzbergers of the New York Times are Jewish.

This is a long tradition. There is a rich literature on how essential Jewish contributions were to the rise of the modern nation state. "If the distinctive contribution of Jews to the construction of absolutist states lay in the realm of finance and military provisioning, their characteristic role in the development of liberal regimes was in the domain of political mobilization and opinion formation," Benjamin Ginsberg wrote in The Fatal Embrace. In his book To Free a People, Gary Dean Best said that my ancestors were freed from Russia in part through the financial pressure of Jewish bankers on American presidents. And that furor about what a racist Woodrow Wilson was? He appointed the first Jew to the Supreme Court and co-signed the Balfour Declaration. Surely not because he loved Jews but because he sought Jewish support at the polls and, yes, too, for the war effort.

Truman's recognition of Israel in defiance of his own State Department cannot be fully explained without noting that Abraham Feinberg and Ed Kaufman raised $100,0000 for his whistle stop tour in the subsequent election. Feinberg, who also bankrolled Kennedy, said that money was about Israel. From the Truman library:

I had already got the commitments for the $100,000 from people around the country, all of whom understood that without Truman, Israel would have had very difficult days and times trying to even come into existence. As that train went into towns where there were Jewish communities, I arranged that a Jewish delegation would ask to see the President and be received on the train and that, in as many cases as possible, they would bring him donations above these original commitments.

Feinberg also said, "Certainly, there was never any access denied me either by Truman, Kennedy, or Johnson." That's not because he was so charming; he was cutting deals.

Jerry Mueller wrote a scholarly book called Capitalism and the Jews which seeks to explain the affinity of Jews and modern capitalism by noting that Jews recognized the role of "knowledge and the evaluation of risk in economic life.... The economic value of gathering and analyzing information simply was beyond the mental horizon of most of those who lived off the land and worked with their hands." That pattern persists. Ynet says that in 1970, 87% of Jewish men worked in clerical jobs, compared to 42% of all white people, and the Jews earned 72% more than the general average.

Is this a sensitive subject? Of course it is. Jewish wealth has long been a factor in anti-Semitic hatred.  But that doesn't mean reporters should be stupid about the power of the Israel lobby or the general circumstances of American Jewry. That's why the candidates were sucking up at the Republican Jewish Coalition. And why Trump was right to quip that he won't be bought.

Finally, let's be clear. The vast differences in wealth in our country go well beyond the situation of one ethnic religious group. As the most eloquent advocate for equality in our society Bernie Sanders said the other day, the 20 wealthiest people in America make as much money as the lowest 150 million. That unfairness is undermining people's personal freedom, Sanders says angrily. And it's not a Jewish problem, it's the problem inherent in late capitalism. And many Jews (including Bernie) are among those working against that unfairness.

Donald Trump quotes degenerate dog-shit Frank Gaffney.  Yankee Doodle actually, many decades ago, had casual contact with this Gaffney piece of shit, and has been amazed to see it - not him, IT - emerge as something people actually listen to.  The fucker was a useless brain-dead blabber-mouth decades ago, and so it remains. 



Trump proposal to ban Muslims from US relies on debunked poll from pro-Israel think tank
http://mondoweiss.net/2015/12/proposal-debunked-thinktank?utm_source=Mondoweiss+List&utm_campaign=5f03bd5463-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b86bace129-5f03bd5463-398535957

Yesterday Donald Trump released a shocking proposal to bar Muslims from entering the United States. Trump's idea rests on research from the Center for Security Policy, a neocon think tank run by Frank Gaffney who has a long history of pro-Israel advocacy and has been called "one of America's most notorious Islamophobes" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Right Web points out that Gaffney has already had influence over the 2016 Republican presidential race:  Frank Gaffney, director of the hardline neoconservative Center for Security Policy (CSP), is a leading anti-Islamic pundit in the United States who advocates controversial weapons programs, a right-wing Israeli line on Mideast security, and an expansive "war on terror" targeting "Islamofascists." Gaffney has been an advocate of militarist U.S. foreign policies since the 1970s, getting his start working on the staff of Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson (D-WA) before joining the Ronald Reagan Pentagon in the early 1980s working under Richard Perle.

Several 2016 Republican presidential candidates generated controversy when they attended a Gaffney-organized conference on national security in July 2015. Attendees included former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, former New York governor George Pataki, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Also present at the event was hawkish former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton. One observer remarked that the conference was hosted by "an anti-Islam activist with a penchant for government conspiracy theories."

Trump's call echoes one made by Gaffney himself following the recent Paris attacks:  Trump's statement quotes a July 2015 poll from the Center for Security Policy and claims that 25% of Muslims living in the United States "agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad." The poll, which received much coverage in the right-wing media, was debunked as soon as it was released. Writing in the Huffington Post Nathan Lean and Jordan Denari explained:

this survey should not be taken seriously. It comes from an organization with a history of producing dubious claims and "studies" about the threat of shariah, and was administered using an unreliable methodology. Its proponents seize upon its shoddy findings, exaggerating and misrepresenting them to American audiences, and falsely claim that the survey data represents the views of Muslims nationwide.

Lean and Denari continue:  Both Gaffney and [Bill] O'Reilly claim that the poll's findings are representative of nationwide Muslim public opinion. But this assertion is untrue.

CSP's survey was a non-probability based, opt-in online survey, administered by the conservative group the Polling Company/Woman Trend, a small Washington-based agency that has collaborated with CSP on other occasions to produce surveys about Islam and Muslims. (We learned this after reaching out to the Polling Company to get more details about their methodology, which wasn't released to the public when Gaffney began promoting the survey's findings.)

According to the body that sets ethical standards for polling, the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR), opt-in surveys cannot be considered representative of the intended population, in this case Muslims. The AAPOR says that in these cases, "the pollster has no idea who is responding to the question" and that these kind of "polls do not have such a 'grounded statistical tie' to the population."

So when O'Reilly and guest Zuhdi Jasser pointed to this survey and made claims about what "25% of three million, which is hundreds of thousands of Muslims" believe, it's not only a misleading statement — it's outright false.

This survey does not represent the views of American Muslims. It only represents the views of the 600 Muslims that it polled.

Gaffney's Center for Security Policy has been at the center of the effort to bring anti-Muslim bigotry into the American political mainstream, and Gaffney and other pro-Israeli activists have played a central role in several notable anti-Muslim campaigns.

As Donna Nevel and Elly Bulkin's research has revealed the same funders are supporting these attacks on Muslims are also funding right-wing Israel advocacy. As Nevel and Bulkin write:   This money-Islamophobia-Israel network matters, in part, because of its impact on—and strong relationship with—state policies and institutions. In addition to furthering a rabidly anti-Muslim climate, its members help bolster the state-sponsored Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian policies adopted and promoted by the U.S. government. If we fail to examine the Islamophobia network in all its dimensions, we bring an incomplete analysis to the essential work of challenging Islamophobia.

What is Donald Trump doing to media reality?

by Jon Rappoport

December 11, 2015

(To read about Jon's mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

"Even if Trump is a prop-figure set up to sweep the other Republican candidates off the board and pave the way for Hillary to win the election, something else is going on. Something deeper and much weirder." (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

Donald Trump, a figure of authority? A folk-hero? A man who can say anything, get away with it, and become more popular? How did this happen? How was Trump sculpted, if you will, to become what he is now?

NBC once loved him. Let's not forget that. They set up The Apprentice for him. There he sat, a Pope of business, a genius of goof, deciding which contestants moved on and which were expelled into the outer darkness with their luggage. The tasks the contestants strove to complete were ridiculous. They ended up (winners and losers alike) looking like demented and humiliated kiddie-props in a parody of "the business of America is business."

("Okay, your assignment is to make signs, stand on a street corner, and sell yak dung.")

No problem. For several seasons, the television audience adored the show. "You're fired" became Trump's signature. And of course, now, during the Presidential campaign, he's doing the same thing—firing everybody he can think of. To say this is appealing to millions of people is a vast understatement.

Trump is firing politicians, candidates, media, the GOP, immigrants, government bureaucrats, trade representatives and their deals. Wherever he casts his eye, there is somebody to dump.

Trump began as a media creation. They embraced him as a brash, interesting, weird cartoon—and he went with it.

He came across like a happy greedy child playing with toys—hotels, casinos, apartment buildings, golf courses. Then he'd allude to his own brilliance in being able to maneuver the deals that brought the toys into existence.

The media loved this. They loved his crazy hair. They loved his wives, his marriages, his grin, his unselfconscious babble. They kept building him up.

"When I'm President," he says now, "I'll make better deals. For America." Well, he's already been popularized by media, if only in a Disneyesque animation, as the king of dealmakers. It fits.

In the middle of this campaign storm, Trump and the media are joined at the hip. The media created him, and now they can't shake him off. He's a fascist, he's a racist, the pundits say, but it doesn't matter. They keep trying to dig his grave and put him in it, but there is no funeral. The more they attack him, the more excitement they generate.

If it turned out The Donald were a closet hermaphrodite, would it really matter? Or would his followers say, "Wow, that'll show those LGBT fanatics."

Now, throw into the mix how large numbers of people feel about open borders, terror attacks, gun control, and the export of American jobs overseas—their guy, Trump, is reflecting those feelings with unmistakably decisive remarks, without a teleprompter, without sing-song political-android vagueness...so you have a super-potent catalyst roaming the countryside, blowing people out of their passive minds.

Trump isn't manipulating the media, he isn't sitting around thinking of ways to stir up their hatred, he isn't a Hillary with teams of lizards calculating which issue she should pounce on at any given moment, he isn't a Jeb huddling in his own pool of tears with a few billion bucks, planning his comeback. Trump jots down a quick note on a napkin, puts it in his pocket, strides through a crowd, gets up on a stage, and lets it rip. Everything he says reminds him of something else and he goes with the latest thought. His speeches look like a roadmap of a bee's zig-zag through a pasture.

The media are suffering from the Frankenstein Effect. They invented Trump, and now he is taking them to a place they don't want to go.

He's already trekked into no-go zones. For example, he's said that of course vaccines can cause autism. What happens, for example, if tomorrow he suddenly changes his current message on ISIS (bomb them, censor them online) and says of course the US government created ISIS and now the Obama administration is patting itself on the back for stepping up military action against its own partner? What happens if he starts pounding on that tune?

Wild card, joker in the deck, loose cannon, cowboy don't even begin to describe what Trump is becoming. His supporters are also celebrating a revolt against political correctness, and Trump is their man. Carefully assess what you say before you say it? Are you kidding? In this sense as well, the media have created their own problem, acting as shills and cheerleaders for correct language—and now that op is coming back to haunt them.

Here's another tidbit. For the past 20 years, the media have been gargling and sputtering and uttering mealy-mouthed he-said he said "reports" about the effects of Globalism on American jobs. Trump has taken that creature out to the barn and shot it. He's talking about rescinding the trade deals that have been forwarding Globalism. Does he mean it? Does he understand what such an effort would take? His followers think so.

Waiting in the wings: If Trump addresses residents of inner cities, directly and often, and tells them he will bring back jobs for them (whereas no one else will), who knows how much trouble he could stir up in the ranks of the Republican and Democratic parties, and who knows how much support will pour out of those decimated inner-city communities.

This isn't Rand Paul or Ron Paul or Ralph Nader or Bernie Sanders talking about Globalism. This is a billionaire marshal riding into town and promising to flash coin. This is the host of The Apprentice saying, "I can fire, but I also can hire." This is a wide-screen IMAX cartoon saying, "I'm real. I'll bring back prosperity."

How do the Sunday morning news-talk hosts and their guest experts stand up against him? Trump is shrugging and summarily announcing, "They're jerks." He's blowing away the media who made him, and they can't undo what they've birthed.

The conventional wisdom is Trump will fall when the media uncover something truly horrible from his past and blast it out, day after day. You mean saying the Internet needs to be censored and many immigrants must be deported isn't enough to sink his ship? So far, apparently not.

And scandals and possible scandals have already been aired. There was the accusation that he raped his wife Ivana. She eventually defended him and said no. Four of his companies have declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. According to Salon, he was a figurehead for a company called ACN, which operated as a pyramid scheme. Trump denied having anything to do with ACN. There are ongoing legal actions against Trump University in New York and California, claiming the University committed fraud and deception against students in its real estate curriculum and hustled them for millions of $$.

This last potential scandal carries the most danger, in part because the NY case is headed up by the state Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, who has filed a $40 million lawsuit against Trump. Former students have filed two class-action suits against The Donald.

And yet...all the above-mentioned scandals have already been covered in the press, and Trump's poll ratings haven't suffered.

What's going on?

Originally, the media created Trump as a celebrity and a phenomenon. They made him big. A very big and wild and weird cartoon. Now they're trying to destroy him. But they can't make him small and inconsequential because, again, they made him big and wild and weird, and the audience accepted him on that basis, in that image. The audience already took him in, already accepted and digested him. Media creations are hard to reverse when they're cartoons. People love cartoons. Can anybody make Mickey Mouse vanish? Can anybody make the Simpsons forgettable?

The case of another famous cartoon is instructive: Arnold Schwarzenegger. He rode to victory, in 2003, and won the governorship of California based on his media-image as an all-powerful animation. It wasn't until he was serving as governor that the picture faded. Only then did people realize he was just another politician. His infidelity, his fathering of a child with the family housekeeper, was the ultimate torpedo—but that scandal erupted long after his super-gloss had already dimmed.

Notice this: as The Arnold was running for the governorship in 2003, it was already on the record (1977) that he had used steroids (they were legal then) and had participated in orgies. Just several days before the election, the LA Times and CNN broke a story about "Gropegate." Several women came forward with accounts of breast-grabbing, buttock-grabbing. Another woman said Schwarzenegger had tried to remove her swimsuit in an elevator.

On Election Day, Arnold won by over a million votes. He beat out his closest competitor by 17 points.

Disney built an empire based on cartoons. John Wayne built a career being a cartoon. Comic books, graphic novels, and the movies based on them are blockbusters. Twelve days before the opening of the latest Star Wars movie, people are already camping out at theaters.

Meaning? People want to see reality reduced to extremes. One reason: they're annoyed by subtleties. Another reason: they really believe that, at bottom, when the smoke and mirrors are removed, the world is a drama of light vs. dark, good vs. evil. If you think you can make that idea go away, you're crazy.

And suppose on some level this drama is, in fact, playing out. Suppose a man riding in on years-worth of media-inflation says, in no uncertain terms, he can win that war. Suppose he actually believes it. Suppose he appeals to millions of people in a way that no other politician on the scene can, because he communicates in a loose direct conversational style, instead of droning on in the usual political cliché carved out by public-relations idiots for candidates who can't escape sounding and looking like androids. Suppose his version of being a cartoon is "I'm the most honest guy you'll ever meet."

Suppose, among the blizzard of his statements and remarks, he is pinpointing several deep ongoing crimes of government, crimes other candidates are terrified of touching.

Suppose for decades now, the whole standard media-PR charade of national elections has conspired to outrage and sicken the American public.

Suppose Trump appears to be the opposite of standard.

Suppose the public is so fed up with this election charade they'd excuse their man, The Donald, if it came out that he'd dropped his mother in a volcano on Xmas Eve.

Suppose the media, who are trying to destroy Trump, have no one to blame but themselves, because they've been supporting thousands of political lies and liars for a long, long time using language no one cares about anymore.

Whereas the big, wild, and weird man coming into town is speaking in a different tongue.

Suppose, therefore, this is a clash of dimensions the media simply cannot understand.

In that case, what are we set for?

The people who hate the Trump the most continue to miss the point that he is coming with a different language, and his train and their train are passing, on different rails, in the night.

Once a Donald Duck, you last forever. Don't underestimate that. Give Donald a fiery sword and a mission and a new and different quack, and you've got something that grabs the American subconscious and delivers a shock to the system.

"A cartoon came alive? He's coming to town? He's on television? He's running for President? Get out of my way, I have to see this. I have to be part of it."

After all, American society has turned into a cartoon. Yes, it can be vicious and painful. It can deliver terminal blows. But it's an animation. When a piece of it suddenly detaches itself and steps forward into the light and talks, you better believe people are interested. Accept it, don't accept it, Obama was one of those pieces, Bush was a piece, Clinton was certainly a piece. But none of them was as strange as Donald Trump.

Very interesting little video.

"There are no jews coming in here to destroy America."
.......[and, at minute 1:30]
"Are you really saying to me that there's an international jewish conspiracy to take over the world?"   

First of all, the only reason there may not be any "jews coming here to destroy America" is because they ALREADY CAME DECADES AGO.  There's no need for any more to come, unless they are Mossad spies, or demolitions experts needed for things like 911, but they will leave after their job is done.

Second of all, he seems very VERY defensive about the "international jewish conspiracy," doesn't he?  After all, she never mentioned this conspiracy, so, why did he bring it up?

Maybe this is a new defense tactic.  Maybe the holohoax defense bores people now, so the "international jewish conspiracy" accusation is their new defense tactic.

   Presidential candidate Ben Carson

   Donald Trump yesterday threatened Republican Party bosses that he might
   bolt the GOP and contend for the presidency with a third party, Ben
   Carson has responded to new reports of last Monday's Stop Trump
   smoke-filled room with the following statement:

          "If the leaders of the Republican Party want to destroy the party,
      they should continue to hold meetings like the one described in the
      Washington Post this morning. 
     
          If this was the beginning of a plan to subvert the will of the
      voters and replace it with the will of the political elite, I assure
      you Donald Trump will not be the only one leaving the party.
     
          I pray that the report in the Post this morning was incorrect. If
      it is correct, every voter who is standing for change must know they
      are being betrayed. I won't stand for it.
     
          This process is the one played out by our party. If the powerful
      try to manipulate it, the Republican National Convention in Cleveland
      next summer may be the last convention. I am prepared to lose fair and
      square, as I am sure is Donald. But I will not sit by and watch a
      theft. I intend on being the nominee. If I am not, the winner will have
      my support.  If the winner isn't our nominee then we have a massive
      problem. My campaign is about 'We the People' not 'They the
      Powerful.'"'[1]
     
   Trump and Carson, the only two Republican candidates to have led the
   GOP field since early summer, have at times accounted for almost 50% of
   the party's primary voters. With Carson lashing out at the machinations
   of the Republican National Committee in these dire terms, there can be
   no doubt that to expect the collapse of the Republicans as a national
   force is no longer far-fetched, but eminently realistic. The Tax Wall
   Street Party calls on all persons of good will to make our-long
   standing GOP collapse scenario into a reality as quickly as possible.
