Breitbart is Now Taking Shots at Trump’s Globalist Pick for Top Economic Advisor

Trump’s pick to chair the Council of Economic Advisors is a’globalist’, who espouses views that are antithetical to what Trump was pitching during the elections.

Per Axios:

The pick to be the next chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, American Enterprise Institute economist Kevin Hassett, breaks with the president on a couple of key issues that helped Trump win the presidency:

China: Hassett warned in 2010 that bashing China-U.S. trade policy would bring the U.S. back to the downward spiral in the 1930s.

Globalization: “An absolute prerequisite for long-term economic growth is full participation in the global economy and trading system.”

Immigrant workers: [E]conomic growth could expand significantly if immigration in the U.S. were expanded.”

The bigger story here, however, is the fact that Steve Bannon’s Breitbart is now in open revolt against Trump. The comments sections are overwhelmingly negative on him, dispirited from feeling betrayed over the Syrian strikes, in addition to a sundry of campaign pledges that have, thus far, failed to get any traction.

How much of a shill is Hasset? His predecessor, Jason Furman from the Obama Administration, thinks he’s a solid pick.

Kevin Hassett is an excellent pick. He is serious about substance, committed to dialogue, & knows how to navigate DC. I wish him good luck.

The Financial Times summed it up, saying ‘nationalist forces have lost some ground when it comes to economic advice reaching the President.’

Expect Bannon to be out inside of 60 days.

John McCain was on Face the Nation today, getting his neocon on, discussing the next steps that needed to be taken in Syria — dealing with Assad.

He approved of the President’s strikes — calling it a good ‘first step.’ But, he wants MOAR — accusing both Syria and Russia of war crimes, in addition to blaming Assad for the rise of ISIS. You cannot make this stuff up.

“And I think it was important. But it is now vitally important we develop a strategy, we put that strategy in motion, and we bring about peace in the region. And that obviously means that there has to be a cessation of these war crimes.

John, dropping, using chemical weapons is a war crime, but starving thousands of people in prisons is also. Barrel bombs which indiscriminately kill innocent civilians, precision strikes done by Russians on hospitals in Aleppo are war crimes as well.

So there’s a lot of war crimes that are taking place. And another area — aspect of this that I do not agree with the secretary is that you have to just concentrate on ISIS.

We will take Mosul. We will take Raqqa. And we better have strategies as to how to handle those places once we have won it. But they are not disconnected from Bashar al-Assad and the al Qaeda and the war crimes that have been taking place.

You can’t — to a large degree, Bashar al-Assad, by polarizing the Syrian people, have also given rise to ISIS and al Qaeda. So they are both connected. And I believe that the United States of America can address both at the same time. We can walk and chew gum.

We have the capability to do both. And, yes, we want a negotiated settlement, but the only way that that will happen is if it is not in their interests to continue what they have been successful at for over eight years. And that is why I thought, symbolically and psychologically, the president’s action was very important, but now we better follow it up. And, by the way, we should have cratered the runways.”

Seemingly ignoring the fact that ISIS and US backed ‘rebels’ in the region are responsible for the majority of civilian deaths in Syria, McCain carried on as if Assad was merely bombing civilians and not actually in the midst of a long, drawn out, civil war — which was started by ISIS. McCain wants the U.S. military to set up a ‘safe zone’ in Northern Syria.

“And also, when you see these crimes that are being committed, they are horrifying. John, I also believe that a grieving mother whose child has been killed isn’t too concerned whether it is a chemical weapon or a barrel bomb. He is still slaughtering people. And we may stop the chemical weapons.

But we have also got to stop the other indiscriminate, inhumane war crimes that are being committed as well. And that means, obviously, trying to set up some kind of safe zone, so that these refugees can have a place where they can be. And, also, that would help with the refugee flow issue.”

In response to President Trump’s strike on the Syrian airbase, McCain thinks we should’ve done more.

“Well, I think the fact that we acted was very important, and I support the president’s action.

And I have been told that there was some recommendations to take out all six places that the Syrian air force operates out of. But now that they are flying again, basically, within 36 hours is not a good signal.

But I would point out, taking out their — all their support facilities doesn’t let them fly with any consistency. But it — the signal that they are able to fly almost right away out of the same facility indicates that I don’t think we did as thorough enough job, which would have been cratering the runways.

McCain is fucking crazy. pic.twitter.com/t7bzYJUD4I

And somebody will say, well, then they can fill in the runways. Yes. And we can crater them again too.”

Has it ever dawned on McCain and the other neocons in America that maybe, just maybe, Russia would respond to our attacks on their ally, in an effort to protect Russian soliders on the ground? Has the concept of ‘mutually assured destruction’ gone by wayside somehow — the ultimate quagmire which has kept America out of a war with Russia for the past 70 years?

Like the old saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them. Let me be clear, I’d much prefer to drop them into the deepest part of the Pacific ocean to be strangled by octopi — but I am unable to do so at this present time. So, instead of lamenting about it, I’ll try to profit from this narrative — something I am keenly familiar with from my experiences in the Idiot Bush 2 administration.

Who benefits from globalist neocon shillism?

Not liberals, that’s for sure. Your healthcare stocks are most likely dead money. This movement will include war, and lots of it. We will invest in companies that make drones, guidance systems, military vehicles for massive ground operations, and of course missiles.

For members of Exodus, I’ve made your job easier by including a search functionality for company profiles. Have fun here.

Because reprisals are part and parcel of any war, we will need to invest in black swan styled event stocks for maximum gains — companies that benefit from embassy attacks and massive infrastructure outages.

Lastly, prepare for loss of life — it’s a sad sidenote to globalist necon shillism. Coffin stocks and medical supplies are something to consider — in a non-macabre sort of way.

What we want to do is have a clean slate, so I’ll be selling out my $TLT tomorrow. Then we want to buy the big ones, the stocks almost guaranteed to profit from a new era of ridiculous wars.

Tier 1 names include: $GD, $RTN, $OA, $LMT, $NOC

Tier 2 names: $COL, $LLL, $HII

Tier 3: $SPR, $ESLT (Go Israel!), $HEI, $FLIR, $TXT and $ERJ

Then we can go down the list, into the mud, hoping to find true treasures in this military industrial complex.

Some offshoot names include $CIR, $KAMN, $KTOS, $MTSI, $RADA.

Beneficiaries will be defense contractors, big oil, pipeline builders, steel, aluminum, titanium, palladium, and gold. We’ll get into that as the wars progress — down the road.

I’ll be posting all of my buys in Exodus, in real time, starting tomorrow.

The one thing the good General was clear on, however, was the fact that Russia needed to figure out what they’re doing in the middle east. Clearly, the United States knows exactly what to do, which entails wars that never end costing trillions of dollars — leading to the deaths of millions.

“What we’re saying is, other countries have to ask themselves some hard questions,” McMaster said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday.” “Russia should ask themselves, ‘What are we doing here?’ Why are we supporting this murderous regime that is committing mass murder of its own population and using the most heinous weapons available?’”

“I think, as you saw with the strike, that there has to be a degree of simultaneous activity as well as sequencing of the defeat of ISIS first,” McMaster said. “What you have in Syria is a very destructive cycle of violence, perpetuated by ISIS, obviously, but also by this regime and their Iranian and Russian sponsors.”

U.S. goals in the region, McMaster said, are “the defeat of ISIS” and “a significant change in the nature of the Assad regime and its behavior in particular.”

What?!

Watch the entire interview here. It’s amazing to see the General try to twist his way out of illogical narratives into clear, concise, policy decisions. He was resolute on his options for N. Korea, towards the end of the interview, which, basically, entailed risking nuclear war in order to ‘de-nuclearize’ the N. Korea regime. I am sure the good folks living in Seoul and Tokyo are thrilled with U.S. meddling into Asian affairs.

Are you not entertained? This is what you wanted, isn’t it?

Clearly, the grave threat to our elections and the dissemination of ‘fake news’ warrants this sort of pin action around the world. Trump is simply declaring that ‘America is back’ at doing what it does best — wage needless wars in the middle east in order to ingratiate the military-industrial complex. Prove me wrong.

Pro-tip: you can’t.

In response to Trump’s 59 cruise missiles, the nazis of our time, Syria-Iran-Russia, issued the following statement.

“What America waged in an aggression on Syria is a crossing of red lines. From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and America knows our ability to respond well.”

The Iranian foreign minister issued this statement via Shitter.

How does it feel burgers?

Well, dear readers of iBankCoin, it was a tumultuous long year of hand-wringing — as I campaigned for The Donald to become President of the United States — based on an America first policy. By doing so, I disaffected 50% of my readers base, forcing them to get their stock market commentary from inferior websites — run by clownish men bereft of talent. While I do not regret being vehemently against Hillary Clinton, I now see that having blind faith in the great orange one might’ve been a mistake.

So, having said that, I’m, once again, falling back on my old mantra that if you can’t control something, don’t bother worrying about it. Being an ardent believer in natural selection and Darwinism, I feel that by Making America Shill Again (MASA) we can, in fact, make a tremendous killing in the market. In other words, I’ve decided to permit my narcissism to regain control of my actions and will be shifting the dialogue here back towards how we can benefit from all of this wondrous globalism.

In effect, I’m the guy playing the violin on the SS Titanic, not even remotely interested in learning about a life boat, let alone going to see about one. This fucker is going down and I’m going have a martini while it happens.

Here’s true believer, Nigel Farage, somewhat disillusioned by Trump’s recent actions, worried that it might lead to Bush 2 policy of regime change in the middle east.

And here are three deplorable clips of our Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, displaying her neocon feathers, outright proclaiming that regime change is necessary for Syria in order for peace to flourish. War is peace, etc.

Nikki laughs (HAR, HAR, HAR) at Russia’s request for proof, saying ‘everyone knows they did it.’ Indeud.

Trump’s finest moment was provocating WW3.

In other news, KT McFarland, a General Flynn appointee, was removed from Trump’s NSC team.

And the band plays on.

Here’s the quick rundown for you globalist shills out there. US armed forces are preparing to enter Syria for multiple games of 4D chess and 33D intergalactic, interdimensional speed checkers. Our lovely new Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, is out warmongering like a motherfucker, much to the delight of hybristophiliac, Bill Kristol.

The prize is, obviously, Iran. We need to fuck them up.

Punishing Assad for use of chemical weapons is good. Regime change in Iran is the prize.https://t.co/vnRo82CU4r

Back to Queen Haley. She did an interview with Jake Tapper today. In it, she said a political solution in Syria wasn’t going to happen. Moreover, she thinks regime change will happen. Damn right it will. We’re gonna fuck those people up.

“This is a complicated situation. There are no easy answers and a political solution is going to have to happen,” Haley said. “There’s not any sort of option where political solution is going to happen with Assad at the head of the regime, if you look at his actions if you look at the situation, it’s going to be hard to see a government that’s peaceful and stable with Assad.”

“Regime change is something that we think is going to happen because all of the parties are going to see that Assad is not the leader that needs to be taking place for Syria,” Haley said.

In other news, citizen journalists on Shitter are going apeshit tonight — pretending that US troops are barreling into Syria, trying to get their McCain on.

On the Bannon-Kushner front, word is Trump made those two cucks talk it out like men. Rumors has it, Kushner wore a helmet to the meeting.

Source: Axios

Ignition: The stealth combat had come to a head midweek, when chief strategist Steve Bannon’s departure from the National Security Council was revealed. Bannon was fed up with the incoming he was taking — and so were his allies, inside and outside the White House. Bannon had sparred with economic adviser Gary Cohn (or, as Bannon’s allies call him, “Globalist Gary”), and suspected the economic adviser was trying to undermine nationalists in the West Wing.

A flurry of high-level leaks about Bannon supposedly threatening to resign — something he said he wasn’t contemplating — convinced his allies that Jared Kushner, the president’s adviser and son-in-law, had also turned on him.

One of Bannon’s closest allies commiserated: “Do you know what happened with Jared? Him and Steve had such a close relationship.”

Escalation: By Thursday, allies said Bannon had gone full honey badger — embracing the newsroom motto of Breitbart, which he once headed: “Honey badger don’t give a sh**.” Bannon told associates: “I love a gunfight.”

Settlement: The situation had become unsustainable, and the president stepped in with the instruction to “knock it off.” On Friday, there was a meeting among Priebus, Bannon, Kushner, and his wife, Ivanka Trump.

The meeting was “100 percent” focused on moving the president’s agenda, said one source. But the subtext was clear: The boss wanted them to make up and disarm. Although he had been considering changes on his top staff (and names of possible replacements had circulated among senior aides), they were being given the chance to fix it themselves.

Bannon had fought internally against the Syrian intervention — one of the most momentous decisions of Trump’s young presidency — and lost. On Saturday, his camp said new domestic policies are coming that reflect his worldview. But Kushner allies insist a new, less combative, more centrist Trump will still emerge.

For now, both Bannon and Priebus are safe from the unemployment soup lines.

Evil men

Also, I found a new CIA account on Twitter today. How cool is this?

How could I be so sure that sweet little girl is actually a sock puppet for some low level CIA agent?

Jake Tapper told me so.

And lastly, Shitter is ablaze with TMZ styled scandal amongst Alt-Rightards — claiming ‘Globalist Gary’ Cohn and Dina Powell, both on team Trump the empire edition, are having an affair. Clearly, this isn’t allowed — as homosexual advances are the only type of advances that are acceptable inside of the White House.

Worth exploring.

I have an investment theme worth discussing, in light of recent happenings, and will post about it tomorrow. Unil then, this is clan-leader Le Fly signing off from iBunkerCoin — your one stop shoppe for World War 3 happenings.

This is a Facebook translation, so I’m sure Zuckerberg personally edited it to leave out anything of vital American interests. That aside, the gist of this note, which was posted on Facebook last night, was to lament over the Syrian strikes and express sadness and dismay over the state of relations between the United States and Russia, by Russian’s Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev.

That’s it. The last remaining election fog has lifted. Instead of an overworked statement about a joint fight against the biggest enemy, ISIS (the Islamic State), the Trump administration proved that it will fiercely fight the legitimate Syrian government, in a tough contradiction with international law and without UN approval, in violation of its own procedures stipulating that the Congress must first be notified of any military operation unrelated to aggression against the US. On the verge of a military clash with Russia.

Nobody is overestimating the value of pre-election promises but there must be limits of decency.

Beyond that is absolute mistrust. Which is really sad for our now completely ruined relations. And which is good news for terrorists.
One more thing. This military action is a clear indication of the US President’s extreme dependency on the opinion of the Washington establishment, the one that the new president strongly criticised in his inauguration speech. Soon after his victory, I noted that everything would depend on how soon Trump’s election promises would be broken by the existing power machine.

It took only two and a half months.

Rand Paul, one of a handful of politicians who is against the Syrian strikes, makes the point that Russia-phobia and the hysterical antics of people like Senator McCain, in fact, isolate America from having proper dialogue with Putin’s Russia — making it all but impossible to come to a political solution without being accused of being a Russian agent.

As we drop white phosphorus munitions in Mosul, trying to displace ISIS in Iraq, Trump tried to explain to Congress why taking unilateral action against Syria, by ferrying 59 cruise missiles into a forward airbase that was used to fend off terrorists attempting to displace a secular regime with head cutting religious zealots, was important. He did so by describing the actions as ‘vital to national security interests.’ While conditions in Syria are certainly deleterious to the people of Syria and countries dealing with the refugee crisis, last I checked America was insolated from the events happening in and around Damascus.

Here is the President’s letter to congress.
