The dementia election – Trump / Biden

[Firestarter]

In 2010, Donald claimed and received an income tax refund totalling $72.9 million (the federal income tax he had paid for 2005 to 2008). That was with the help of legislation entered by President Obama.
Then from 2011 to 2014, “billionaire” Donald paid no federal taxes at all (0).

Where it gets “criminal” behaviour by the Donald is that he never paid those losses back to his handlers/lenders, so he shouldn’t be allowed to deduct it.

Here’s how the NYT one time in the whole long article explains that Donald really is in trouble with the IRS.

If the I.R.S. learns that the owner received anything of value, the allowable losses are reduced to just $3,000 a year. And Mr. Trump does appear to have received something. When the casino bankruptcy concluded, he got 5 percent of the stock in the new company.

The US Supreme Court in a 7-2 vote has decided that there is no reason to block the release of Donald Trump's tax returns to prosecutors, who can now subpoena the former president for his financial documents from January 2011 to August 2019.

But they won't be publicly released (is there more than we already know?): https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/22/poli ... index.html

While Trump promised that he wouldn't be paid as US president, it sure looks as if he profited handsomely from "pay-to-play" schemes.

Trump disclosed between $1,613,583,013 and $1,790,614,202 in revenue from the Trump Organization and other outside income during his 4 years as US president: https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-co ... on-278.pdf

Foreigners looking for a good deal from the US government were more than happy to pay the exorbitant Trump prices, hoping that they would make more from wheeling and dealing with the Donald.

A large portion of the revenue came from his famous properties where lying Donald was often seen during his presidency — Mar-a-Lago, The Trump International Hotel in Washington, and his golf course at Doral in Florida, Bedminster in New Jersey, and Trump National in Virginia.

President Donald even directed government to spend taxpayer's money at his properties over and over again. Trump insisted doing government business at Mar-a-Lago, and even directed VP Mike Pence to stay at Doonbeg when he had meetings on the other side of Ireland.
To top it all, Donald attempted to host the G-7 Conference at his struggling Trump National Doral property.

So now that being president has finally made media personality Trump a genuine billionaire, some question if he will continue to be rewarded for being such a good little goy for his handlers: https://www.citizensforethics.org/repor ... president/

According to the following, President Donald had a much higher revenue in the first 3 years of his presidency.
So if the "reputable" Forbes is right, lying Donald once again wasn't honest, when he disclosed only a maximum of $1,790,614,202 in revenue (or maybe Citizensforethics didn't analyse Donald's disclosure properly?).

From 2017 to 2019, the Donald’s businesses raked in an "estimated $1.9 billion of revenue".
This resulted in $470 million in profits for lying Donald.

Trump’s commercial real estate assets converted something like 50% of their revenue into profit, generating an estimated $313 million of income to President Donald from 2017 to 2019.
This means that they were far more lucrative than the golf courses and clubs, with modest-margins: https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexand ... in-office/

I'm afraid that the following isn't good enough for Trump fans, but as I'm no expert at taxes (especially outside of the Netherlands), this is the best I could do on such short notice; a simple calculation (estimate) of Trump's tax rate in 2016 and 2017...

If we multiply $470 million in profits with 2/3, this means that Donald had an income of about $313 million in total in 2016 and 2017, in which years he paid a total of $1500 in taxes. This means that "billionaire" Donald Trump had an effective tax rate of 0.0005% for those 2 years.
I guess that many people (probably excluding the money laundering billionaires that at the same time call for "progressive" tax rates) would settle for such a tax rate!

Donald's tax exemption from which his buddy Carl Icahn profited, was reportedly cooked up at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club.

The event was supposedly set up by the Brazilian Bolsonaro crony Mário Garnero, who proposed Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro's visit to the Mar-a-Lago.
Garnero, through a mutual friend, passed the letter on to Mar-a-Lago member Richard Bernstein.


See from left to right: Alvaro Garnero, Vice President Mike Pence, President Donald Trump and Fabio Wajngarten at the Mar-a-Lago.


Garnero has been pictured with Pope Benedict, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and counts Sen. Robert Kennedy, President Ronald Reagan and Rainier III prince of Monaco among his personal friends.
Mário and his son Alvaro Garnero both attended the summit between the presidents of the USA and Brazil.
Bolsonaro press secretary Fabio Wajngarten who was also at this Mar-a-Lago event later tested positive for the infamous coronavirus.

See in the back row Eduardo Bolsonaro (Jair's son) who stands left from Ivanka and Jared Kushner.
In the front row President Jair Bolsonaro is seated left from President Donald Trump.


Trump told the group that included Bolsonaro, Pence and Ivanka Trump, about his present to exempt Brazil from the tariffs (which was really a present to Icahn):

I gave him a great gift — I gave him a good gift. We didn’t charge him tariffs on something and that made him much more popular.

.
Maybe even more interesting is that Richard's wife, Robin Bernstein, was appointed by President Donald as Ambassador to the Dominican Republic from 2018 to 2021. Robin Bernstein, was one of the 25 founding members of Mar-a-Lago.
The insurance agency Richard S. Bernstein & Associates, has insured the Trump Organization for 2 decades. The Bernsteins are billionaires. Richard's wife, Robin Bernstein, was one of the 25 the founding members of Mar-a-Lago.
Robin Stein Bernstein was once on the transition team for president Jimmy Carter: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politi ... 26546.html

I've previously posted about the US effectively remaining a British colony and that Oxford rules the British Empire and with it the world: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread ... ost6398907

You never would have guessed that a disproportionate amount of Joe Biden's appointees are Oxford alumni - no less than 12 (of which 6 Rhodes Scholars)!
Oxford University in England to colonise the USA...

Out of the 25 members of the President’s cabinet, 3 are also Rhodes scholars.
A further 9 Oxford alumni hold non-cabinet leadership positions, like White House staff.

The openly gay Rhodes Scholar Pete Buttigieg will be President Biden’s Secretary of Transportation. He also ran for President in 2020.
Rhodes Scholar Gina Raimondo will serve as Secretary of Commerce.

Rhodes Scholar Eric Lander will lead the US Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Rhodes Scholar Susan Rice was selected to lead the Domestic Policy Council.

Rhodes Scholar Bruce Reed as White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
William J. Burns will become Director of the CIA.

Rhodes Scholar Jake Sullivan will be the National Security Advisor.
Jonathan Finer as the Deputy National Security Advisor.

Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall as Homeland Security Advisor.
Kurt M. Campbell as Coordinator of Indo-Pacific affairs.

Megan Ceronsky as Associate Counsel. Ceronsky was Climate Change Advisor to President Obama.
Machmud Makhmudov as a Policy Advisor for the Office of COVID Response.

All the Biden administration Oxford’s alumni benefited from either the Rhodes or Marshall scholarships: https://archive.is/DDo4N

Maybe my "favourite" Rhodes Scholar in the Biden administration, is Susan Rice, who in the 1990s in the Clinton administration orchestrated the Rwandan genocide for which Paul Kagame was used, who was later made into the hero for "stopping" the genocide and installed as de facto dictator of Rwanda.
Rice has continued to cover up what happened to this very day. She later became Obama's Ambassador to the UN before being promoted to National Security Advisor from 2013-2017.

From 2002 to 2009, Rice was a Brookings Institution fellow.
During the 2004 presidential campaign, Rice served as a foreign policy adviser to Bonesman John Kerry.
Rice is also a member of the CFR.

See the genocidal Susan E. Rice (then State Department official) shaking hands with Paul Kagame (not yet crowned president), 1998.

.

In 1993, Susan Rice was appointed to President Clinton’s National Security Council and involved in orchestrating the Congo genocide (and Rwandan genocide?).
In 1997, Rise was promoted to assistant secretary of state for African affairs at a time that Rwanda and Uganda were invading eastern Congo, taking control of mineral resources in a sea of blood.

Rice has even worked directly for Kagame’s government, when she worked for strategic analysis firm Intellibridge (in Washington DC).
Other former Clinton administration officials at Intellibridge include: David J. Rothkopf (under secretary in the Commerce Department); Anthony Lake (Clinton’s national security adviser); and John M. Deutch (CIA director).

There are more connections between Susan Rice and Pete Buttigieg than (only) going to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship.
Buttigieg also worked on Bonesman John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.
In 2014, Buttigieg became a 2014 Aspen Institute Rodel Fellow.

While he was mayor, Buttigieg served for 7 months in Afghanistan in the U.S. Navy Reserve, returning to the US in September 2014.
In June 2015, Buttigieg came out as gay.

Buttigieg supports "abortion rights" and the repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which blocks federal funding for abortion in most circumstances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Buttigieg


In 2007, Pete Buttigieg became a consultant at the Chicago office of McKinsey & Company. After political rival Elizabeth Warren demanded that Buttigieg disclose his clients at McKinsey, he admitted to have worked for the Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws, which was guilty of price fixing during that same period.
This supposedly ruined his run for president.

Like Buttigieg, Susan Rice worked as a management consultant at McKinsey from 1990 to 1992, based in Toronto.
But Rice has never disclosed what she did there.

In 2001 and 2002, Susan Rice was a director at Intellibridge, which eventually became Eurasia Group. We know next to nothing about who Rice's clients were.
Akbar Shahid Ahmed wrote, “her closeness to one client whose identity is publicly known―Rwandan strongman Paul Kagame, the country’s president since 2000―has previously raised concerns among human rights groups and fellow officials”: https://prospect.org/politics/susan-ric ... e-problem/

Joe Biden selected the decorated, controversial (eu)geneticist, Human Genome Project co-leader Eric Lander as presidential science adviser.
Lander had previously been an adviser to president Barack Obama. In 2003, he founded and now leads the Broad Institute.
Lander has donated thousands of dollars to Biden and Massachusetts senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren (one of his sons worked for Warren's 2020 presidential campaign).

Another geneticist, Michael Eisen, wrote about Lander’s appointment:

I have mixed feelings. Lander is serially dishonest and chronically full of s**t. But he is really good at organizing big projects (probably the most important aspect of the job right now) and advocating for science.
You know, he’s a complicated figure. Let’s be clear, compared to where we’ve been for the past four years, it’s great.
But the way he talks about things is very much about building himself and his institution up, often at the expense of others and the truth.

.
Lander was heavily criticized after he gave a birthday toast to James Watson in 2018. Watson was also a geneticist, who expressed sexist and racist views.
Maria Zuber (also from MIT), who will co-chair Biden’s scientific advisory council, has also feted Watson.

Lander’s relationship with James Watson goes back to the Human Genome Project, which included both Lander and Watson.
See from left: Eric Lander, Robert Waterston, James Watson, and Francis Collins, 12 February 2001.


Watson has controversially supported genetic screening and genetic engineering, arguing that stupidity is a disease and the "really stupid" bottom 10% should be cured.
Watson has also claimed that differences in average IQ between blacks and whites are due to genetics. Watson argued that Africans are less intelligent than Europeans.

Watson has also argued that a pregnant woman should be able to have an abortion, if a gene is found that determines (for example) "sexuality and a woman decides she doesn't want a homosexual child".
This IS eugenics per definition...

The original call for the Human Genome Project was first published in 1986 by geneticist Walter Bodmer. Bodmer joined the Eugenics Society (now called the Galton Institute) in the 1960s and soon after worked with Stanford geneticist Joshua Lederberg.
From 2008 to 2014, Bodmer was president of the Eugenics Society/Galton Institute. David J. Galton wrote that the Human Genome Project had “enormously increased ... the scope for eugenics ... because of the development of a very powerful technology for the manipulation of DNA”: http://web.archive.org/web/202102022056 ... iden-pick/


Another controversial connection is from Eric Lander's colleague at MIT, biologist Martin Nowak, who received millions of dollars from paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In 2012, Lander met Epstein at Martin Nowak Harvard’s office.


Lander simply claimed that the whole thing was organised by Nowak, and he didn't know anything about Epstein.
Epstein himself kept Lander on a list of scientist he had funded though.

Epstein was very close to the late artificial intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky of MIT. Minsky organised a symposium at Epstein’s private island in 2002 and Epstein victims have complained they were "forced" to have sex with Minsky.
Both Minsky and Eric Lander were corporate fellows of the Thinking Machines corporation.

Lander's Broad Institute has partnered with both MIT and Harvard, and is also closely associated with tech companies tied to the US national security state.
Right before Lander joined the Biden administration, the Broad Institute announced a new partnership with Microsoft and Google subsidiary Verily: https://archive.is/M4S7e

The following is an interesting collection of information on Cecil Rhodes, the Round Table (a.k.a. Milner's Kindergarten) and the Rhodes scholarship that were started to expand the power of the British Empire.

The following Cecil Rhodes quotes show the true purpose of his Rhodes Scholarship program:

Let us form the same kind of society, a Church for the extension of the British Empire. A society which should have its members in every part of the British Empire working with one object and one idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind and feelings for such an object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he is endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details of life, and if found to be such, then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life in his Country. He should then be supported if without means by the Society and sent to that part of the Empire where it was felt he was needed.

To and for the establishment, promotion and development of a Secret Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of British rule throughout the world. The colonization by British subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour, and enterprise and especially the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South America, the islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, these aboard of China and Japan, [and] the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire.

Please remember the key of my idea discussed with you is a Society, copied from the Jesuits as to organisation.

.
Rhodes Scholar William Yandell Elliot counted among his proteges none other than Henry Kissinger KBE, who in 1981 at a Chatham House event stated admiringly:

The British were so matter-of-factly helpful that they became a participant in internal American deliberations, to a degree probably never practiced between sovereign nations…
In my White House incarnation then, I kept the British Foreign Office better informed and more closely engaged than I did the American State Department… It was symptomatic.

.
See Rhodes Scholar William Yandell Elliot, at the center, surrounded by a few of his disciples, including Kissinger and Pierre Trudeau.


With Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential victory, Rhodes Scholars infested the White House. Clinton is one of the very few Rhodes Scholars without an Oxford degree. It has been rumoured that he had to leave Oxford over some sex scandal.

While Biden’s Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is not himself a Rhodes Scholar, he is a life-long friend and classmate of Rhodes Scholar Robert Malley, who was Special Assistant to Obama as “point man in the middle east” at the NSC. Malley had earlier been special assistant to President Clinton.
Malley was deeply enmeshed with George Soros, who for decades has done the dirty work for the Anglo-Dutch royal degenerates. Since 2016, Malley was President and CEO of the International Crisis Group (ICG) that was founded by George Soros and Lord Malloch Brown to promote global humanitarian wars under the guise of Responsibility to Protect (R2P).
Joining Soros, Malloch-Brown and Malley at the ICG, was none other than… Rhodes Scholar Jake Sullivan, who will be Biden's NSA.

Anthony’s father, Donald Blinken, was Soros’ point man in Hungary from 1994-1998 as Clinton's US Ambassador. He was later rewarded by black George with a “Donald and Vera Blinken Open Society Archive” at Budapest’s Central European University.

In 1998, Susan Rice demonstrated her imperial worldview by coordinating the destruction of a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory.

Rhodes Scholar Bruce Reed, who entered Washington as part of Clinton's 1992 Rhodes Scholar infusion and became director of Clinton’s Domestic Policy Council, will be Biden's top tech advisor.
Bruce Reed has called for cracking down on free speech by cancelling Federal Internet law Section 230. With its repeal, social media will be forced to censor all “dangerous” thoughtcrimes: https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/ ... l-cabinet/
