The Donald Undone: Tilting at the Swamp, Succumbing to the Empire
By David Stockman
"But in the ZTE case, Trump and his neocon and warhawk advisors were doing just the opposite. They had slapped an edict on US telecom component and software suppliers like Qualcomm, prohibiting them from engaging in acts of trade with China’s #2 telecom equipment manufacturer and the #4 mobile phone provider in the world.
That is, they were about the business of pumping the Swamp full with even more busybody regulation and bloat – and once again bamboozling the Donald with phony threats to national security.
In this case, ZTE apparently violated "sanctions" put upon Iran and North Korea by the Empire in its self-appointed role of global policeman.
That’s right. There have been no charges that ZTE has "stolen" American technology or subsidized exports to the harm of American cell phone factories – because, well, there are none left.
The Chinese state-owned company’s only alleged offense, in fact, was not functioning as a complaint enforcement arm of Washington’s foreign sanctions strike force.
But threatening to bring daily production at ZTE to a halt because it cannot (in the short-run) make cell phones without those designed-in Qualcomm parts, the Donald was also in danger of putting the kibosh on American production, jobs and leadership in the high technology components end of ZTE’s business".
Something here about Qualcomm that I read today.
"The fact is, the Red Ponzi is a giant house of cards that cannot survive in the long-run, and in the mid-term is completely dependent of US markets to earn the dollar surpluses that it needs to keep its $40 trillion tower of debt from having a crash landing".
You 300 million Americans most whom have $1000 or less in cold hard cash are going to save china's $40 trillion tower of debt. I see, but what do I know about economics.
He's wishing it's true because he's driven himself crazy and he's tired. He'll be back to prison in Oz and disappeared or he's an agent and they'll pull him out.
Thanks for singing the same song as your enemies.... "By David Stockman" - Think about it. Fish swim, birds fly, and jews lie. - So now you're following the Jewz lead,,,, nice! - The truth movement and exposure of the Jewz that did 911 is not looking so good. At least Trump is calling out the JMSM that did the deed on the morning of 911, while you all do - - - - do - - - - ? Nothing, but agree with the enemy. "Orange man bad". So sad
The first time I ever heard about (OFAC) was in the article I quoted above and yes, made available by a Jew. You shouldn't forget that sometimes they are useful. Americans should contact their congressors and find out WTF your government is up to.
And BTW Trump is turning out to be a proper dickhead.
"These sanctions are enforced by an office in the US Treasury Department, which is aptly named the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). Being openly in the business of controlling the assets of foreign countries, in fact, its name speaks volumes about the daily purposes of the Imperial City.
In addition to enforcement actions against the above named three dozen countries, OFAC’s global reach has been fantastically expanded by the so-called war on terror, and the mechanism of sanctioning "Specially Designated Nationals" or SDNs.
We are here talking about individual citizens and officers of foreign countries, one at a time. It so happens that the OFAC periodically publishes a list of SDNs and the latest one (May 24, 2018) is a staggering 1,132 pages long. By our reckoning it lists in excess of 500,000 foreign evil doers of one type or another.
The fact that it takes 221 pages just to get through the "A’s" in its alphabetical listing – owing to the prevalence of Ali’s, Abdul’s, and Ahmed’s – is perhaps indicative of the nature and scope of Washington’s SDN dragnet.
Needless to say, sanctioning 500,000 foreigners generates endless make-work for the denizens of the Swamp and the phalanx of national security agencies and private contractors which employ them. But it’s all in a day’s work in the Empire because this list exists only by virtue of Washington’s self-appointed role of global policeman and hegemon of global order".

He's going to apply for political asylum in the USA? - lol what an idiot.
Exactly my thought when I heard him say that. lol
He's wishing it's true because he's driven himself crazy and he's tired. He'll be back to prison in Oz and disappeared or he's an agent and they'll pull him out.
