Is President Donald Trump an anti-imperialist?

This compilation is about showing that Trump is -not- anti-establishment, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-interventionist, anti-militarist and so on, although this was the way he was being marketed.

"Trump is an anti-capitalist who is challenging the big companies"

If you voted for Trump because he’s ‘anti-establishment,’ guess what: You got conned ... President-elect Donald J. Trump, who campaigned against the corrupt power of special interests, is filling his transition team with some of the very sort of people who he has complained have too much clout in Washington: corporate consultants and lobbyists. ... The head of his communications team? Jeffrey Eisenach, longtime Verizon lobbyist. Energy independence? Michael Catanzaro of Devon Energy and Encana Oil & Gas. Department of Agriculture? Michael Torrey, head of a multi-million lobbying firm that represents American Beverage Association and Dean Foods. ... Michael McKenna, another lobbyist helping to pick key administration officials who will oversee energy policy ... Martin Whitmer, who is overseeing “transportation and infrastructure” ... David Malpass, the former chief economist at Bear Stearns, the Wall Street investment bank that collapsed during the 2008 financial crisis, is overseeing the “economic issues” ... Dan DiMicco, a former chief executive of the steelmaking company Nucor, who now serves on the board of directors of Duke Energy, is heading the transition team 11.11.2016

Drei Tage zuvor hatte er bereits angedeutet, Steven Mnuchin zu seinem Finanzminister machen zu wollen. Steven Mnuchin ist ein ehemaliger Goldman-Sachs-Banker und ein Intimus eines der berüchtigtsten Spekulanten der Welt, des Milliardärs George Soros. ... Inzwischen ist auch bekannt, wer zu Trumps “Übergangsteam“ gehört, das gegenwärtig dabei ist, viertausend hochkarätigen Jobs in Washington zu besetzen: Es sind u.a. Lobbyisten der Großkonzerne Koch Industries, Walt Disney, Aetna, Verizon und Goldman Sachs. ... Als aussichtsreiche Kandidaten für Ministerämter gelten der ehemalige New Yorker Bürgermeister Rudi Giulliani, der ehemalige Sprecher des Repräsentantenhauses, Newt Gingrich, und der Gouverneur von New Jersey, Chris Christie. ... Es ist auch nicht ungewöhnlich, dass die US-Massenmedien sich gegen einen Kandidaten stellen, ihm letztlich aber auf diese Weise zur Macht verhelfen: Als der US-Kongress 1913 über die Gründung der US-Zentralbank Federal Reserve abstimmen sollte, führten die bereits damals von der Finanzindustrie gesteuerten Massenmedien zusammen mit den Banken einen vehementen Feldzug gegen diese neue Einrichtung und behaupteten wider besseres Wissen, sie werde die Rechte und Freiheiten der Finanzindustrie beschneiden.

Exxon Mobil Corporation, Chevron Corporation: Donald Trump to the Rescue ... If Donald Trump is elected President, his policies can allow energy companies to make a comeback ... Rex Tillerson, the CEO of Exxon, however, has been a strong critic of these climate resolutions. ... Oil companies have already suffered due to massive decline in crude oil prices.

For The Defense Industry, Trump's Win Means Happy Days Are Here Again ... Surges in weapons spending usually require Republican control of the White House and Senate, which is what Washington will now have ... Trump has repeatedly stated that he will modernize the nation’s aging nuclear arsenal, which consists of missile-carrying submarines, land-based missiles in Midwestern silos, and long-range bombers ... Big winners: General Dynamics and Huntington Ingalls Industries which make subs, Lockheed Martin which makes sub-launched missiles, Northrop Grumman which is building a new bomber, and Boeing which builds tankers and airborne command posts to support the nuclear force. ... Trump has proposed significantly increasing the size of the Army and Marine Corps, which will require major equipping initiatives. Vehicle makers BAE Systems and General Dynamics will benefit not only from new production, but also upgrades to the existing fleet making it more lethal and resilient. Helicopter makers Boeing and Lockheed Martin will almost certainly get more money, as will companies like BAE Systems and Raytheon that provide radios, electronic warfare gear, and ground-based air defense systems. ... Trump has stated an intention to expand the Navy’s fleet to 350 warships from less than 300 today. That probably means buying aircraft carriers and surface combatants faster, which would be good news for General Dynamics and Huntington Ingalls Industries — the nation’s two leading producers of warships. ... Trump’s defense plans call for a larger Air Force fighter force, which probably means a faster ramp-up in production of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter.

Trump has said he wants to increase the size of the Army and the Marine Corps, build new ships for the Navy and add jets to the Air Force’s arsenal and modernize the nuclear arsenal. Defense stocks jumped Wednesday morning with news of his election. BAE System and Raytheon saw their stock prices go up more than 6 percent by 11 a.m. Wednesday. Lockheed Martin was up more than 5 percent.

“Trump’s win is good news for the defense industry, especially when coupled with Republican majorities in the House and Senate,” said Loren Thompson, a defense consultant who advises many of the nation’s top tier contractors.

Increasing the size of the military will favor BAE Systems and General Dynamics, plus helicopter makers Boeing and Lockheed Martin, in particular, he said. Northrop Grumman, which is building the Air Force’s new bomber, could be a winner, he said, as could General Dynamics and Huntington Ingalls, companies that make submarines.

Trump would most likely focus on weapons systems already in development or production, instead of starting new ones, Eaglen said, which would be good news for programs such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, the Littoral Combat Ship as well as building new aircraft carriers.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family.

Foreign Policy of Trump

A move to improve relations with a combative, assertive Russia. Trump stressed repeatedly during the campaign, at some political cost, that he would work with President Vladimir Putin. “I think I’d be able to get along with him,” he said in September at a televised forum hosted by NBC’s Matt Lauer. “If he says great things about me, I’m gonna say great things about him. . . . I mean, the man has very strong control over a country.” Trump also discounted allegations that Russian hackers had meddled in the presidential election. ... A joint military effort with Russia and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to defeat the Islamic State. Trump proposed this shared campaign during that same debate. “If Russia and the United States got along well and went after ISIS, that would be good,” he said. He offered positive comments about Assad, saying, “He’s just much tougher and much smarter than her [Clinton],” adding that if the opposition should win in Syria, “you may very well end up with worse than Assad.” ... push for European allies to pay more for their own defense. It’s unlikely that Trump will dismantle NATO ... In Europe, Trump’s victory is likely to reinforce the trend toward politicians expressing similar right-wing, nationalist views. ... the most likely outcome of Trump’s protectionist rhetoric will be a global economic downturn ... by putting America’s interests first so nakedly, he may push many U.S. allies in Europe and Asia to make their own deals with a newly assertive Russia and a rising China 09.11.2016

Ukraine

Trump to look at recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, lifting sanctions ... Trump said he “would be looking into that” when asked about his stance on Crimea and Russia. 27.07.2016

http://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-to-look-at-recognizing-crimea-as-russian-territory-lifting-sanctions-putin/

On August 16 2015, in an interview with NBC News, Donald Trump stunned the Ukrainians with his indifference to the prospect of the country's possible membership in NATO. "I wouldn't care. If [Ukraine] goes in, great. If it doesn't go in, great," Trump said. ... "I don't like what's happening with Ukraine. But that's really a problem that affects Europe a lot more than it affects us. And they should be leading some of this charge," he said.

http://uatoday.tv/politics/putin-s-not-going-into-ukraine-if-i-m-president-trump-s-key-quotes-on-ukraine-802649.html

"The people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were," Trump said. This is whitewashing of a blatantly illegal territory grab by Putin, one that almost no countries on Earth recognize. ... If our country got along with Russia, that would be a great thing. When Putin goes out and tells everybody — and you talk about a relationship, but he says Donald Trump is going to win and Donald Trump is a genius ... Trump has repeatedly expressed support for Russia’s policy in Syria. ... he’s even expressed personal admiration for Vladimir Putin. We know this because several of his key policy advisers have direct or indirect ties to the Russian state. ... Trump wants to encourage Russian expansionism, which directly threatens the norm against wars for territory that helped keep the peace after World War II. Trump’s wishy-washy stance on NATO and Russia is even scarier

Meine Prognose ist daher, dass innerhalb de kommenden Jahre der Einfluss Moskaus in den ehemaligen „Satellitenstaaten“ und den früheren Teilen der Sowjetunion erheblich steigen wird. Die autoritäre und nationalistische Ordnung in Ostmitteleuropa wird sich verfestigen und auf weitere Länder übergreifen – womöglich auch des „alten Westens“. Eine notwendige „Rückbesinnung“ Europas auf seine Werte und ein tieferer Zusammenhalt, Anbetracht der Bedrohungen von außen, wird nicht stattfinden. Daher ist mit einem erheblichen Bedeutungsverlust Europas in globaler Perspektive zu rechnen, dem sicherlich auch ein wirtschaftlicher Niedergang folgen wird. Der 09. November 2016 ist somit eine „gegen-Wende“ zu der von 1989.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Donald Trump, describing him as "a true friend of the State of Israel". Mr Netanyahu said he was looking forward "to working with him to advance security, stability and peace in our region".

The mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, was one of the first Israeli officials to send his congratulations. Mr Trump's campaign said his administration would recognise the holy city as the "undivided capital of the State of Israel". That would antagonise Palestinians, who want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

Israelis from the hard-right meanwhile hope that Mr Trump will not speak against the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett put it quite bluntly: "The era of a Palestinian state is over."

Netanyahu: President-elect Trump, my friend, Congratulations on being elected President of the United States of America. You are a great friend of Israel.

"Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the Sanhedrin, contacted Breaking Israel News to announce that the election of Trump, who has promised to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, coupled with Putin's expressed desire for the Temple to be rebuilt, prompted the Jewish court to send a letter offering the two the opportunity to act as modern-day Cyrus figures: non-Jewish kings who recognized the importance of Israel and the Temple."

Über die republikanische Präsidentschaftsbewerberin Carly Fiorina sagte er: "Schauen Sie sich das Gesicht an! Würde das irgendjemand wählen?" Über Hillary Clintons Niederlage gegen Barack Obama in den Vorwahlen von 2008 sagte Trump, "she got schlonged" – das Substantiv "schlong" kommt aus dem Jiddischen und könnte mit "Schniedel" übersetzt werden. Der Fox-News-Moderatorin Megyn Kelly warf er indirekt vor, sie habe ihm nur deshalb so kritische Fragen gestellt, weil sie ihre Tage gehabt habe.

Das Wort als solches ist schon älter, hat aber erst seit Beginn der 1990er Jahre größere Verbreitung gefunden. Damals wurde es von der politischen Rechten bzw. Konservativen in den Vereinigten Staaten aufgegriffen, die die Verwendung und Dominanz „politisch korrekter“ Sprache als Zensur und Einschränkung der Redefreiheit kritisierten. In der Folge griffen auch konservative Kreise in Europa diese Kritik auf.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin: The plutocratic evil twins claim to stand against the neoliberal economic order (they don’t) ...

... Instead, from 1992 to the Russian debt crisis of August 1998, the West in general — and the U.S. Treasury, USAID, the State Department, the IMF/World Bank, the EBRD, and many leading economists in particular — actively promoted and, indeed, helped to finance one of the most massive transfers of public wealth into private hands that the world has ever seen.

For example, Russia’s 1992 “voucher privatization” program permitted a tiny elite of former state-owned company managers and party apparatchiks to acquire control over a vast number of public enterprises, often with the help of outright mobsters. …

In 1994–96, under the infamous “loans-for-shares” program, Russia privatized 150 state-owned companies for just $12 billion, most of which was loaned to a handful of well-connected buyers by the state … initially just 25 or so budding oligarchs with the insider connections to buy these properties and the muscle to hold them. …

For the vast majority of ordinary Russian citizens, this extreme re-concentration of wealth coincided with nothing less than a full-scale 1930s-type depression, a “shock therapy”-induced rise in domestic price levels that wiped out the private savings of millions, rampant lawlessness, a public health crisis, and a sharp decline in life expectancy and birth rates.

This is the backstory of how today’s hyper-criminal and hyper-capitalist Russia was created ...

Trump, in particular, had just suffered a string of six successive bankruptcies. So the massive illicit outflows from Russia and oil-rich [former Soviet states] like Kazahkstan and Azerbaijan from the mid-1990s provided precisely the kind of undiscriminating investors that he needed. These outflows arrived at just the right time to fund several of Trump’s post-2000 high-risk real estate and casino ventures — most of which failed. ... his domestic financing evaporated in the 1990s and how dependent he became on foreign money ...

Bayrock Group LLC, “a spectacularly unsuccessful New York real estate development company” Trump was associated with ... The same fate befell Bayrock’s Trump International Hotel & Tower in Fort Lauderdale in 2012, “while at least three other Trump-branded properties in the United States, plus many other ‘project concepts’ that Bayrock had contemplated, from Istanbul and Kiev to Moscow and Warsaw, also never happened,” Henry reports. ... A third focus of Henry’s attention is FL Group, an Icelandic private investment fund involved in Bayrock financing. ...

The Patterns Repeat: A fourth case concerns another Trump associate, Russian-Canadian billionaire Alex Shnaider, As Henry describes, Shnaider “co-financed the seventy-story Trump Tower and Hotel, Canada’s tallest building,” opened in Toronto in 2012, which went bust this past November “like so many of Trump’s other Russia/FSU-financed projects.”

Shnaider, in turn, owed some of his success to his former father-in-law, Boris J. Birshtein, “a close business associate of Sergei Mikhaylov, the reputed head of Solntsevskaya Bratva, the Russian mob’s largest branch, and the world’s highest-grossing organized crime group as of 2014, according to Fortune.” It’s a small world, after all. ... Number five on Henry’s list is “The Case of Paul Manafort’s Ukrainian Oligarchs,” ...

“The Case of ‘Well-Connected’ Russia/FSU Mobsters” who just happen to call Trump Tower home. As he explains, unlike most New York luxury buildings, the tower has no prying coop board and its residents have included “tax-dodgers, bribers, arms dealers, convicted cocaine traffickers, and corrupt former FIFA officials.” I’ll highlight just one example: David Bogatin, considered a key figure in Semion Mogilevich’s Russian organized crime family, has “a long string of convictions for big-ticket Mogilevich-type offenses like financial fraud and tax dodging,” Henry explains. ...

Donald Trump has also literally spent decades cultivating senior relationships of all kinds with Russia and the FSU. … 22.01.2017

Sue Sparks: The exit poll demographics bear out that it wasn't a revolt of the poor against neoliberalism. Trump voters are older, whiter, slightly more male, less educated but not lower income. 55% of under 30s voted Clinton against 37% for Trump. 58% of whites for Trump, 74% of non-whites for Clinton (88% of blacks, 65% of Latinos and Asians for Clinton). Under $50K annual income: 52% of Clinton voters, 41% of Trump's. 64% of Trump voters see immigration as the major issue facing the country, and 57% terrorism. Only 42% of Trump voters see the economy as the most important issue (52% of Clinton voters). College education is not so stark a division, with 52% of Clinton voters and 43% of Trump's having a college degree.

https://www.facebook.com/michael.karadjis/posts/10154045663742467

These statistics show the opposite - the majority of rich people voted for Trump, while the majority of poor people voted for Hillary Clinton. Those voters for whom foreign policy was the most important area voted for Hillary Clinton by a huge margin, while those who cared more about hating immigrants voted for Donald Trump.

Clinton had way more voters making under $50,000 than Trump. Trump won because (mostly) white people voted for him. Stop blaming poor people.

Hamad: Corbyn genuinely believes that people voting for an overtly racist, imperialist and nativist fascist scumbag like Trump is a 'rejection of neoliberalism'. These people are the modern equivalent of third period Stalinists. ... Karadjis: Trumpism is also *not* opposed to neo-liberalism, except in style and some rhetoric. It may be more protectionist re trade, but in terms of what is really horrible about neoliberalism, the smashing of welfare, allowing the rich to keep all their cash with little or no tax, destruction of the role of unions etc, Trump is every bit as neoliberal if not more so than Clinton.

Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP–controlled states.

Trump supporters even shared this article as if it is authentic: “Quite frankly, Israel didn’t teach Hamas a harsh enough lesson last year,” reads the letter, obtained by The Mideast Beast. “As president, I will give the Jewish state all the necessary military, diplomatic, economic and moral support it needs to truly vanquish Hamas – and if that means killing 200,000 Gazans, then so be it.” (The Mideast Beast (TMB) is a satire news site that produces spoof articles about or connected to the Middle East only for comedic and entertainment purposes.)

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign woes have gotten bigger as his campaign manager Paul Manafort’s name has turned up in a ledger of illegal payments that were made by a network in Putin’s sphere of influence in Ukraine.

The New York Times reported:

Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials.

In addition, criminal prosecutors are investigating a group of offshore shell companies that helped members of Mr. Yanukovych’s inner circle finance their lavish lifestyles, including a palatial presidential residence with a private zoo, golf course and tennis court. Among the hundreds of murky transactions these companies engaged in was an $18 million deal to sell Ukrainian cable television assets to a partnership put together by Mr. Manafort and a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, a close ally of President Vladimir V. Putin.

Connecting the following seven dots. Do you see a pattern?

1. Trump is suggesting the US and NATO might not come to the defense of NATO member states in the Baltics in the case of a Russian invasion -- an important issue to Putin.

2. The Trump Camp was totally indifferent to the Republican Party platform, with one exception: They changed the party platform to eliminate assistance to Ukraine against Russian military operations in eastern Ukraine. Not incidentally, this is the single most important issue to Putin.

3. Trump's debt load has grown dramatically over the last year, from $350 million to $630 million. At the same time, he’s been blackballed by all major US banks.

4. Post-bankruptcy, Trump has become highly reliant on money from Russia -- most of which has over the years become increasingly concentrated among oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin.

5. Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager and top advisor, spent most of the last decade as top campaign and communications advisor to Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian Ukrainian Prime Minister and then President whose ouster in 2014 led to the on-going crisis and proxy war in Ukraine. Yanukovych was and remains a close ally of Putin.

6. Trump's foreign policy advisor on Russia and Europe is Carter Page, a man whose entire professional career has revolved around investments in Russia and who has deep and continuing financial and employment ties to Gazprom, which, in turn, is part of Putin’s financial empire.

7. Over the course of the last year, Putin has aligned all Russian state controlled media behind Trump.

Navarro said that Germany was one of the main hurdles to a U.S.-EU trade deal and that talks over a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) were dead, the newspaper reported. "A big obstacle to viewing TTIP as a bilateral deal is Germany, which continues to exploit other countries in the EU as well as the U.S. with an 'implicit Deutsche Mark' that is grossly undervalued," the FT quoted Navarro as saying on Tuesday. 31.01.2017

Throughout the election, critics often savaged the media for “normalizing Trump,” broadly defined as the act of treating his rank sexism, xenophobia and fascist dog-whistles as just another policy difference against equally valid opponents. ... Oprah Winfrey, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, said Trump’s recent visit to the White House gave her “hope” and suggested he has been “humbled” by the experience. The Guardian’s Simon Jenkins told his readers to “calm down” and that Trump wasn’t the “worst thing.” His college, Nouriel Roubini, insisted the Oval Office will “tame” Trump. People magazine ran a glowing profile of Trump and his wife Melania (though a former People writer accused Trump of sexual assault). The New York Times’ Nick Kristof dubiously added that we should “Grit our teeth and give Trump a chance.” The mainstays—Washington Post, New York Times and CNN—while frequently critical, are coving Trump’s transition as they would any other. President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have all issued statements recognizing Trump’s legitimacy and pleading we give him a chance.

"Monitor": Clinton ist eine Kriegstreiberin. Wenn sie gewählt wird, wird die Außenpolitik der USA aggressiver.

Im Video wird ein Dokument mit dem Namen Extending American Power zitiert, das im Mai 2016 veröffentlicht wurde. Darin steht, dass eine politische Lösung den Abgang Assads beinhalten muss, nicht jedoch alle Mitglieder des Regimes. Dabei wird als militärische Maßnahme eine Flugverbotszone genannt, nicht jedoch der Einsatz des US-Militärs außerhalb dieser Zone. Nicht nur für Monitor, sondern für alle Kritiker Clintons ist lediglich die Flugverbotszone der Stein des Anstoßes, die abgesehen davon sämtliche US-Militärinterventionen befürworten und davon profitieren.

Unter den Unterzeichnern seien Clinton-Bekannte, so Monitor. James Rubin habe sogar gesagt, das Assad-Regime müsse gestürzt werden. Aber auch der Republikaner und Bush-Anhänger Robert Kagan sei für Clinton. Monitor verschweigt jedoch, dass u. a. Michael Rubin vom American Enterprise Institute, das zu den Architekten des Irakkrieges gehört, der israelische Premierminister Netanyahu, diverse israelische Generäle, CIA-Vizedirektor Michael Morell, der ehemalige hochrangige CIA-Funktionär Graham Fuller, der ehemalige CIA-Chef Michael Hayden gesagt haben, Assad müsse an der Macht bleiben. US-Generalstabschef Dempsey und NATO-Generalsekretär Rasmussen haben von Anfang an immer wieder in aller Deutlichkeit gesagt, dass sie nichts gegen Assad unternehmen werden. In Syrien haben die USA Gruppen wie SRF und die Hazzm-Bewegung mit Waffen beliefert, die gegen "islamistische" Gruppen gekämpft haben. Das irakische Regime, das von den USA an die Macht gebracht wurde, gehört zu den wichtigsten Verbündeten Assads.

Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin hätten dem Strategiepapier finanzielle Unterstützung zukommen lassen, wird gesagt, es wird jedoch verschwiegen, dass Trump noch mehr Aufträge für Boeing, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems , General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman oder Raytheon verspricht als Clinton, da er wiederholt versprochen hat, das Nukleararsenal zu modernisieren, Armee und Marine Corps deutlich zu vergrößern, die Marineflotte auf über 350 Schiffe aufzustocken und die Air Force auszubauen.

Der Abschluss des Videos: "Mit Clinton wird es eine Neuausrichtung der US-Außenpolitik geben." Auch die Macher der Sendung gestehen wohl ein, dass die USA nichts getan haben, um Assad zu stürzen, obwohl sie es hätten tun können. Zum Schluss wird ein Prof. Andrew Bacevich zitiert, der sagt, Clinton werde nicht zögern zu bombardieren. Zum Vergleich: Trump hat ausdrücklich gesagt, er werde "die Scheiße aus ihnen rausbomben".

Die Republikaner haben unter Bush den Irakkrieg geführt, die Demokraten haben ihn unter Obama fortgeführt. Die Verantwortung wird Clinton zugeschoben, um die USA von Sünden zu reinigen. Alle "Kritiker" Clintons unterstützen die Politik der USA.

Obamas Drohnenkrieg richtete sich stets gegen die Gegner des Irans, niemals gegen seine Verbündeten. Trump befürwortete den Irakkrieg und den Sturz Gaddafis. Trumps Vizepresident Mike Pence befürwortete den Irakkrieg und den Sturz Gaddafis. Auch Russland und der Iran befürworteten den Sturz Gaddafis. Gaddafi war ein Idiot. Nach dem Sturz Saddams wurde der Irak dem Iran überlassen. Die Unterstützer Trumps wissen das aber betreiben Taqiyya, weil sie wissen, dass Trump eine noch aggressivere Politik in ihrem Sinne verfolgen wird.

Donald Trump Supporting Libya Intervention In 2011

Trump complains that the US didn't say the rebels that they have to give the half of the oil to the USA.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duyvYNh-fLw

Die Behauptung, dass Hillary Clinton "Krieg will" und gar "den Dritten Weltkrieg auslösen will", stützt sich darauf, dass sie sagte, sie werde sich für eine Flugverbotszone in Syrien sowie für die Aufklärung von Kriegsverbrechen einsetzen, wenn sie gewählt wird.

Einer ihrer Berater für Außenpolitik, Jeremy Bash, sagte, sie werde die US-Politik in Syrien "überarbeiten". Dabei profilieren sich Clinton-Gegner als Kriegsgegner und Gegner von Interventionen. In Wirklichkeit unterstützen sie die heutige Politik in Syrien und Irak, durch die (offenbar gezielt) ein religiöser und sektiererischer Krieg geführt und geschürt wird.

Clinton: "Russia hasn't paid any attention to ISIS. They're interested in keeping Assad in power. So I, when I was secretary of state, advocated and I advocate today a no-fly zone and safe zones. ... I think wherever we can cooperate with Russia, that's fine. And I did as secretary of state. That's how we got a treaty reducing nuclear weapons. ... I would go to the negotiating table with more leverage than we have now. But I do support the effort to investigate for crimes, war crimes committed by the Syrians and the Russians and try to hold them accountable."

Trump responds: "Look at what she did in Libya ... It's a mess." He ignores that Russia, Iran, his vice Mike Pence and he himself supported the fall of Gaddafi. Russia and China supported the sanctions against Iran as UN Security Council members. Trump: "You don't even know who the rebels are ... Assad is killing ISIS. Russia is killing ISIS. And Iran is killing ISIS." 10.10.2016 Actually they barely fight against ISIS. They are waging a racist, religious and sectarian war and fueling radicalization. The "rebels" which the US are (or were) arming are: SRF, Hazzm Movement, PYD, SDF, NSyA.

Republican nominee Donald Trump accused President Barack Obama of founding the Islamic State terror group. “He is the founder of ISIS,” Trump said, repeating, “He’s the founder of ISIS, okay? … He’s the founder! He founded ISIS.” Taking it a step further, Trump then went on to target his opponent in the presidential race. “And I would say, the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton,” he said.

https://themuslimtimes.info/2016/08/11/obama-founded-isis/

While the far-from-perfect Clinton advocated an end to Obama's appeasement policy when it came to Russia and Iran in Syria - such as by advocating increasing support for the Syrian rebels and implementing no-bombing zones that would hasten the end of the regime - Trump sees in Russia, Iran and Assad as allies against the Islamic State group (IS).

"Bringing down Assad would ... be a massive boon to Israel's security" is not something Clinton said. It's the content an e-mail which have allegedly been sent to her. This has been reported with the headline "Hillary Clinton: Destroy Syria for Israel" by psyop and disinfo sites.

The 2012 e-mail about bringing down Assad, released by Wikileaks in March 2016: Some argue that U.S. involvement risks a wider war with Russia. But the Kosovo example shows otherwise. In that case, Russia had genuine ethnic and political ties to the Serbs, which don't exist between Russia and Syria, and even then Russia did little more than complain.

https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/18328

The actual content of the e-mails shows that Israel is concerned because of the success of FSA and doesn't want the fall of Assad.

An E-Mail from Sidney Blumenthal to Hillary Clinton, July 25, 2012:

1. European officials are concerned that the ongoing conflict in Syria will lead to uprisings in these countries that will bring increasingly conservative Islamic regimes into power, replacing existing secular or moderate regimes. This individual adds that, Israeli security officials believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convinced that these developments will leave them vulnerable, with only enemies on their borders.

2. In private conversations senior Israeli Intelligence and Military commaders state to their European associates that they have long viewed the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad, while hostile, as a known quantity and a buffer between Israel and the more militant Muslim countries, a situation that is threatened by the growing successs of the rebel forces of the Free Syria Army (FSA). This source is convinced that these Israeli leaders are now drawing up contingency plans to deal with a regional structure where the new revolutionary regimes that take over the various countries will be controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and possibly more problematic groups such as al Qa'ida, which doesn't bode well for the Israelis.

4. and 5. Don't attack Iran. This would start a regional war. 3. and 6. Don't attack Iran. This would cause a global economic crisis which would be blamed on Israel. Attacking Iran would turn the Iranian population in support of their rulers. Netanyahu supports sanctions. 7. One single source says that fall of Assad could lead to a sectarian war which would not be a bad thing for Israel and its Western allies. [US have brought the sectarian Iraqi regime to power which is an ally of Iran and Assad.] 8. Israel doesn't want war with Iran but wants to convince the public that it wants to attack Iran. 9. Manipulate events but avoid a general conflict.

The second mail [above] which I've linked is from Sidney Blumenthal. Blumenthal states: "secure an air base in Saudi Arabia that would suggest a staging ground for an eventual attack, then "leak" the word to the media that their are eminent plans to carry out a bombing raid and do everything possible to persuade the world they mean business." So they depict the Saudis as puppets of Israel to smear them. Sidney Blumenthal has been a trusted advisor of both Clintons for more than two decades.

At the same time, they depict Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey as supporters of terrorism to make them incapable of doing something against the US (and also Russian) policy, probably also to be able to intervene if they see it as necessary. Podesta states:

"We need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region ... Turkey moves toward a new, more serious Islamic reality, it will be important for them to realize that we are willing to take serious actions, which can be sustained to protect our national interests."

Clinton also depicts Saudis as supporters of terrorism: "The Saudis have exported more extreme ideology than any other place on Earth over the course of the last 30 years," she told the Jewish United Fund at a 2013 dinner. She added, “Saudis and others are shipping large amounts of weapons — and pretty indiscriminately — not at all targeted toward the people that we think would be the more moderate, least likely, to cause problems in the future.” [Many adherents of this narrative know that there is no evidence at all for the claim that Saudis support terrorism, but they think that Arabs should give their money and natural resources to them because deus lo vult.]

Russian government officials and American corporations participated in the technology transfer project overseen by Hillary Clinton’s State Department that funneled tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

A Putin-connected Russian government fund transferred $35 million to a small company with Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta on its executive board, which included senior Russian officials.

Podesta failed to reveal, as required by law on his federal financial disclosures, his membership on the board of this offshore company.

Podesta also headed up a think tank that wrote favorably about the Russian reset while apparently receiving millions from Kremlin-linked Russian oligarchs via an offshore LLC.

Hillary Clinton is also against Muslim Brotherhood:

"We believe in democracy, not just on moral and philosophical grounds, but because over the long run, democracy gives us more partners and fewer adversaries. But let's be honest. Mubarak had been an ally of the United States for many years. We have important interests in the region in addition to democracy including our fight against terrorism; defense of our allies, especially Israel; and a secure supply of energy. There are times in government, as in business, when not all of our interests align. Now, we work to align them, but that's just the reality.”

"Certainly Egypt posed very direct threats to Israel because of the, number one, instability and then number two, the unpredictability of the Morsi government. That also posed in the eyes of the Saudis and the Emiratis a threat to them because they view the organized efforts for political Islam to be threatening their status quo."

"Well, I am one who was very cautious about the aftereffects of the Arab Spring, in part because there was no organized opposition that was not the Muslim Brotherhood. What Mubarak had done, unfortunately, for more than 30 years was to really prevent any other outlets for political

positions, for any letting off of steam, any organization of groups that had policy or political

goals. And the Muslim Brotherhood, despite Mubarak’s best efforts to try to break it, was able to continue to develop because it had the mosques, and it had small businesses. And it had a network that he could never penetrate, but the non-Islamic opposition was decimated.”

"I came away feeling very pessimistic that there could be a vigorous opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood. And yet at the same time, holding elections is something we favor in our country, and we believe that elections are not in and of themselves sufficient because too many people believe in one election one time and then they never give up power. So we tried hard to continue to work to build up a secular opposition.”

"The military is going to remain in charge for as long as they choose to, really. They are going to

face more internal threats that they are going to have to be very tough in dealing with, and they

are going to try to, in as much as they can, squash the Muslim Brotherhood and their political arm. And they are getting a lot of help from the Saudis to the Emiratis—to go back to our original discussion—because the Saudis and the Emiratis see the Muslim Brotherhood as

threatening to them, which is kind of ironic since the Saudis have exported more extreme

ideology than any other place on earth over the course of the last 30 years.”

Clinton received plan to secretly galvanize Palestinian protests. Former envoy to Israel emailed proposal to then-US secretary of state that Palestinian, Israeli women should spark Tahrir-style protests to push sides into talks ... On December 18, 2011, Thomas Pickering, a former US ambassador to Israel who also served as undersecretary of state for political affairs under former president Bill Clinton, emailed Clinton a recommendation to spark Palestinian demonstrations, led by female protesters, to push Jerusalem into talks.

Do anti-Israel Emails From Hillary's Inner Circle Show Her True Colors? From an ex ambassador's suggestion to support Palestinian protests to a senior advisor forwarding his son's anti-Zionist articles, emails sent to Hillary Clinton raise questions about the presidential candidate's views on Israel. ... Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, a friend and associate of Republican kingmaker and Netanyahu backer Sheldon Adelson has been using social media to attempt to crowd-source funds to run an anti-Clinton ad in the New York Times, writing: “Friends, I urgently need your help to raise $37,500 to place a full-page ad in The New York Times and call on Mrs. Clinton to disassociate herself from Sid and Max Blumenthal. ... Max Blumenthal, a controversial anti-Zionist author and journalist and activist hostile to Israel - to his father Sidney - and through to the Clintons.

He’s so good.”

But what he has said will be seen as supportive for the share prices of U.S. independent oil and gas producers as well as oil majors with large exposure to the U.S. shale industry such as Chevron (CVX.N), ExxonMobil (XOM.N) and Shell (RDSa.L). ...

The Oil market has a lot to digest, and it may have reasons to be Bullish as Donald Trump was elected to the 45th U.S. President over Hillary Clinton. In short, the free-trade that made Oil abundant and aggressively supplied may face some friction as we begin to get a glimpse of the likely pivot from clean-energy policies toward a revival of U.S. Fossil Fuels to revive job growth. Therefore, we might not have enough impetus to turn bearish on Crude Oil. ... However, in anticipation of Trade Deals getting redrawn under President Trump, it’s possible that OPEC producers are now more encouraged to take less absolute revenue in hopes of becoming more powerful together. ... A specific level on the chart worth watching that is below the 200-DMA is $42/71, which was the September low. A break below this level in addition to the 200-DMA and Ichimoku Cloud would favor an impulsive decline against the corrective move higher that would also bring into discussion the double top downside targets.

One component that had not shown up as the price of Oil trades at the 200-DMA is a strong US Dollar. After the election of Donald Trump, we should be on the watch for continued Dollar strength that tends to align with Oil weakness like we say in H2 2014. While the recent bearish move in Oil has been on reliant on the breakdown in OPEC negotiations, a resumption of USD strength that we saw in late October could keep price pressured near the 200-DMA until more clarity is gained. 09.11.2016

Trump, who will take office in January, has said he wants to make the U.S. completely energy independent and remove restrictions on oil drilling on federal land. That could lead to a larger glut of supplies and lower prices, both of which are why OPEC reached a proposal in late September to curb member production. ...

If their true goal is support oil prices, OPEC would “now have to cut [production]—and potentially even more to keep…prices at these levels,” Courtney said. “If they don’t, prices would…probably fall.” Economists have also mulled the potential for a recession should Trump initiate a trade war. ... threat of losing market share. If OPEC were to cut back on production and raise oil prices, that would “only strengthen the U.S. oil sector, intensifying competition with an industry that now has the full backing of the president and a Republican congress,” ... “This means if a good OPEC deal is unreachable, the Saudis are more likely to walk away, under the pretense of taking a ‘wait and see’ attitude regarding the new president, while continuing to keep the pressure on U.S. shale,” they said. About 52% of total U.S. crude-oil production, or 4.9 million barrels a day, came from shale oil in 2015 ... S&P Global Platts said OPEC’s member output hit a record 33.54 million barrels a day in October. OPEC has kept production levels high, in part due to concerns that a cut back would offer non-OPEC producers, including the U.S., to grow their share of the oil market. OPEC has “given up a lot of market share, and the U.S. has taken more market share,” said Exencial’s Courtney. “I think [OPEC has] always had an eye towards market share, but the primary issue was trying to keep prices higher and I don’t think any of this will help their costs” to produce oil. Still, Trump’s energy plans “would bring cost of production lower for the U.S.” which is more profitable for domestic oil companies, said Courtney. 10.11.2016

One reason Saudi Arabia has dominated the world oil market is that they have more oil that is easier to produce than anyone else. They can bear to sell at $15/barrel without going bankrupt. The break-even costs for North American shale producers were thought to be about three times higher than for similar costs for Middle Eastern producers. Shale wells also deplete faster than conventional wells, with production rates falling about 70% after the first year.

Industry leaders are starting to sound desperate: The New York Times quoted the head of a Texas oil group as telling his members that “today our goal is to survive.” Oil companies have survived low prices this long because banks and investors were willing to lend them billions of dollars on the assumption that the price plunge would be short-lived.
