Which ones - be specific.

Only Metron and M.D. are into idiotic generalizations.

Why are you nakedly carrying water for the globalist Bushies?

Bingo!

Globalist bingo.

19 Oct 2017
Former President George W. Bush delivered a public repudiation of President Donald Trump’s political identity, suggesting many aspects of the current administration are fueling division in the United States and around the world.

The former president defended the ideas of globalism, free trade, and free markets as well as foreign interventionism around the world in a speech at the George W. Bush Institute.

“We cannot wish globalism away,” Bush said, noting that the United States must sustain “wise and sustained global engagement” for the future of the country.

The polity of beasts...


https://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+Polity+of+Beasts.-a0166240738

The Polity of Beasts is a savage allegorical novel about the power plays of modern politics. When an assembly of forest animals decide to set up a democratic government among themselves and elect a President, the candidates vying for office include an idealistic eagle, a self-centered skunk, a clever fox, and an idiotic ass--whose chief advisor is a savvy snake. The resulting drama unfolds with equal measures of wry humor and ruthless condemnation of the flaws within modern political society, corrupted by cronyism, corporate bribery, political correctness, citizen apathy and decaying common sense. A modern-day fable underscoring serious problems in today's democratic society, which are in need of immediate attention, The Polity of Beasts deserves a place in private and public library shelves, along with George Orwell's "Animal Farm". Highly recommended.

The Senate vote will be historic.

The reason the initial Senate vote is not complete is that they are waiting for Senators to fly back to DC.  That’s right, folks...fly back.  How about ALL members of Congress stay in DC until the job is done...geez, people!

George Soros, the multi-billionaire Liberal piggy bank, has been caught red-handed funneling more than a million dollars to so-called “nonpartisan” groups tasked with taking down President Trump.

Right. Sounds “nonpartisan” to me (eye roll).

How did they plan to do it, you ask?

Why, by bringing so many groundless legal charges against the President that he’d be forced to step aside or go broke trying to mount his own legal defense.

The report is pretty detailed, and you can read the whole thing here.

But here are the highlights, from the Washington Free Beacon:

Liberal billionaire George Soros provided $1.35 million to a “nonpartisan” government watchdog organization last year that is hitting the Trump administration with a steady flow of complaints and lawsuits in an attempt to “damage” his presidency, according to tax filings provided to the Washington Free Beacon.

Separate state filings also reveal that the “nonpartisan” watchdog shares employees with the liberal Media Matters for America, an organization that was founded by Democratic operative and Clinton loyalist David Brock. Confidential documents handed out by Brock to big money donors in early 2017 and obtained by the Free Beacon previously shed light on how Brock planned to attack Trump over the course of his presidency using his constellation of organizations.

Soros gave $1.35 million to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that does not reveal its donors. The group has been involved with a number of high-profile lawsuits and complaints against Trump and other Republicans. Its top members regularly appear on news programs attacking the administration and members of the GOP but are rarely identified as having a left-wing mission by the outlets and on-air personalities. …

The drastic uptick was a byproduct of its planned expansion as Trump took office, documents handed out by Brock to deep-pocketed donors at a January 2017 retreat revealed. The gathering was attended by more than 100 wealthy liberals who huddled alongside Brock at the posh Turnberry Isle Resort just outside Miami as they mapped out how they would “kick Donald Trump’s ass” in the upcoming years. …

$1.35 million dollars to “kick Donald Trump’s ass” with frivolous lawsuits to jam the courts and try to force Trump from office?

Yep, they’re really trying to psyop back to globalism. The immediate go to of “conspiracy theory” as derision is the dead giveaway in this. As if, Bretton Woods, The UN and the CFR were just “theories.” It’s adorable that they don’t seem to understand how obvious they’re being. They’re really just not clever enough to pull it off though and will have to use force to get their way now. Not sure even that will work now though.

It’s interesting as the demokkkrat media tries to incite a recession by endlessly talking about fears of recession, the fed is raising interest rates proving the economy is still booming.

Have you seen the Drudge Report lately? Matt sounds like the King of Never-Trumpers now.

Conservative media personality Matt Drudge on Friday said he suspects Congress is intentionally undermining President Trump with legislative and policy hurdles and obstructions.

"I suspect there's a sabotage," Drudge said on Michael Savage's radio show.

"Do you know Obama had the stimulus package on his desk before Inauguration Day? What did this Congress give this great man. Nothing."

Nicely cited sir, and let's not forget Pearson wants into the minds of our children now:

https://gellerreport.com/2017/10/u-s-publisher-apologizes-anti-semitic-directives-textbook.html/

Regular GR readers are long familiar with Pearson publishing. Pearson publishes the notorious middle school textbook, “Medieval and Early Modern Times,” which proselytizes for Islam.

Pearson Forced to Reprint Islam-Biased Textbook in Florida
Pearson’s College Textbook Claims Al Qaeda is a Liberation Movement
Wall Street Journal: References to Islam in School Textbooks Stir Up a Fight
Tennessee mother calls for removal of school history book ‘promoting Islamic propaganda’
Pearson itself is a billion dollar company that owns everything from Penguin Books to Prentice Hall. When it comes to educational materials, they are the 800 pound gorilla of the marketplace buying up software educational publishers and the educational division of Simon and Schuster.

Pearson controls how a lot of educational funding is spent and has its tentacles in teacher certification as well. And this is the kind of content that you can expect to find in its textbooks.
Related: The Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) founded by Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi as a sovereign fund, acquired 24,431,000 shares of Pearson. via  On further investigation, Pearson said the LIA may have acquired an additional 2,141,179 shares, resulting in a total interest of 26,572,179 shares. At the time, this represented a major holding of 3.27% within the company and the investment was worth around £280 million.[59]

The American publisher Pearson has issued an apology for what critics said was a blatant anti-Semitic section of a textbook it put out.

The textbook was for students of nursing.

And the offensive commentary was this: Jewish patients are often “vocal and demanding of assistance.”

That article was more than a year old, and he did a 180 since then. Maybe a Deep State operative hacked his site.

Thanks for that wealth of information on wealth information. Why should the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds have a monopoly on puppet strings?

You could poke out an eye with one of those things. Just look at the eye patches in Muslim sections of London.

They don't and, though powerful, it is, somewhat, of a canard. As you have (re)pointed out to me recently there also are some strong Asian lines. I suspect, haven't researched, but some "Indian" ones also.
