Conservative Tree House: There’s a lot of news this week reflecting a great deal of oppositional alignment against the presidency of Donald Trump. CTH can get down in the weeds of each specific issue to discuss the motives and intents (we will, and do), but the big picture MUST remain at the forefront of understanding. If we lose track of the big picture, the weeds are overwhelming.
…“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”
~ Niccolò Machiavelli
♦POTUS Trump is disrupting the global order of things in order to protect and preserve the shrinking interests of the U.S. He is fighting, almost single-handed, at the threshold of the abyss. Our interests, our position, is zero-sum. Our opposition seeks to repel and retain the status-quo. They were on the cusp of full economic victory over the U.S.
Summary of Action: President Trump structuring a plan to break up multinational BIG-AG, and their “controlled markets.” STOP In the interim, to return to supply-side principles, POTUS Trump proposes a bridge-subsidy approach to wean farmers off exploitative, globalist, multinational “contract farming”. STOP In this endeavor President Trump and Mexican President Lopez Obrador will be brothers-in-arms. FULLSTOP
President Trump is disrupting decades of multinational financial interests who use the U.S. as a host for their ideological endeavors. President Trump is confronting multinational corporations and the global constructs of economic systems that were put in place to the detriment of the host (USA) ie. YOU; or in this example the U.S. farmer. There are trillions at stake; it is all about the economics; all else is chaff and countermeasures.
Familiar faces, perhaps faces you previously thought were decent, are now revealing their alignment with larger entities that are our abusers. In an effort to awaken the victim to the cycle of self-destructive codependent behavior, allow me to cue a recent audio visual example from U.S. Senator John Thune. WATCH:
With that kind of power opposing him, can he survive?
He is smart, but to survive, will he have to make deals with the global market boys?
Mark Levin hates tariffs. He screamed about it in the last 1.5 hours of his show today…*click*off*
great article! explains, quite clearly, how our ‘representatives’ are being so easily bought
@Illustr8r ~ being the Constitutional Scholar that he is, Mr. Levin might want to look up references to ‘tariffs’ in the US Constitution … & go from there to the Tariff of 1789 (the year after the Constitution was ratified)
(if he needs further references, I am available)
Basically, it’s all run by the the Mafia…so to speak.
Tariffs as interventions in a free(ish) market are bad things, but tariffs as tools to thwart unethical (I’m being kind for a change) commerce and unearned profits are just fine by me.
This is a complex subject, and sundance has done a fine job of making it comprehensible and identifying the players and their tactics.
@Uncle Al — Sundance’s passion for the details is stunning. But because of it, I’ve become incredibly lazy in running to ground the details myself. Why bother, I ask myself, when he’s so darn good at this?
Geoff C. told me that tariffs were used to finance the running of the gov’t before income taxes. I’d love to go back to that model.
When you think about it, our producers should be paid handsomely for their production and worldwide sales. The U.S. still has the widest variety of ag products and very high standards for their production.
