Richard Stanley wrote in "Apocalypse How Part 1" (1/30/2017):

Whether or not Donald Trump is the beast rising up “out of the sea” from Mar-a-Lago we can not be sure yet.
At his website The HyperTexts, poet Michael Burch thinks the evidence is piling up:

http://www.thehypertexts.com/Donald Trump Antichrist 666.htm

Is Donald J. Trump the long prophesied BEAST of Revelation, whose number is 666? ...
Here is our condensed version of the top ten connections of Donald Trump to the number 666. The connections will be explained in more detail below (and there are some truly startling and disturbing facts).
(1) The Trumps own the most expensive building ever bought in the US, at 666 Fifth Avenue, a street symbolic of money (Mammon).
(2) The Trumps paid $1.8 billion for the 666 tower. And 18 = 3*6 = 666. The 666 tower is controlled by Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. Kush was the patriarch of Babylon.
(3) The Trumps are also in the process of building a $666 million tower at One Journal Square. According to multiple reports the height will be 666 feet.
(4) The famous Trump Tower is 203 meters tall according to multiple reports. And 203 meters = 666 feet. The Trump penthouse is on the 66th floor!
(5) Donald Trump inherited his grandmother's real estate empire when she died on June 6, 1966 = 6-6-6. Her name was Elizabeth Christ Trump. Elizabeth means "vow," so her full name means "Vow for Christ to be Trumped."
(6) In Trump's first fiscal year which began in 2016 = 666+666+666+6+6+6 the budget deficit rose to 666 billion dollars! (Per Fox Business and other sources.) Trump tweeted his congratulations for the budget passage on October 27, 2017. The bavister.org Julian Date calculator confirms that a Julian date of 6666 translates to the date of Trump's tweet!
(7) Donald Trump's name equates to 666 in Jewish gematria, English gematria, and ASCII computer code. There are details below.
(8) Trump's fearmongering comments about "rapists" and "drug dealers" vaulted him to the top of the polls on June 6, 2015 = 6+6+(1+5) = 666.
(9) Trump announced his candidacy for president on June 16, 2015 = 6+(1*6)+(1+5) = 666. On the Ides of March, he had 666 delegates.
(10) Trump uttered his unholy trinity of heresies on August 21, 2019, when he claimed to be the "King of Israel," the "second coming of God" and the "Chosen One." August 21 was the 233rd day of the year, and 233=18=6+6+6.
Much, much more at the link. Burch has obviously been on a quest to find these connections, which results in some confirmation bias. August 21 => 233rd day => 18 => 666? That's a bit of a stretch. But Burch has found an alarming abundance of these 666 connections, many of which look intentional.

And if that's not enough, Burch also finds disturbing parallels to Benito Mussolini.

http://www.thehypertexts.com/Donald Trump Benito Mussolini Parallels Fascists.htm

Donald Trump and Benito Mussolini have many things in common ... not the least of which is that they appear to be identical twins! The resemblance is uncanny. Is Donald Trump the reincarnation of the fascist Benito Mussolini? And there are many other striking parallels besides their looks, as we will see together. For instance, their signatures are eerily similar...

Burch goes on to score Trump according to a list of fourteen characteristics of fascist ideology compiled by Umberto Eco. Burch rates Trump at 13.5 of 14.

(5) Donald Trump inherited his grandmother's real estate empire when she died on June 6, 1966 = 6-6-6. Her name was Elizabeth Christ Trump. Elizabeth means "vow," so her full name means "Vow for Christ to be Trumped."
The father of Donald Trump was Frederick Christ Trump. Frederick means "peaceful ruler", so his full name means "Peaceful ruler Christ to be Trumped", using the above logic.

(1) The Trumps own the most expensive building ever bought in the US, at 666 Fifth Avenue, a street symbolic of money (Mammon).

I thought that the Kushners had sold the property, but they leased it for 99 years, with Jared (and his father) taking a $500 million bath, good for tax write-offs. Also, Jared's convict daddy, Charles, still seems to be closely involved with 666 Fifth Ave. and his original real estate empire.

The building was built in 57, so it needs some renovations, worth $400 mil, to be completed in .... 2023.

There were rumors that Jared was involved with a company in the building making some product for a cashless society, and this has shifted to it being former Bell Labs spin-off Lucent Technology and/or Mondex, the former still a provocative name if true, and injectable RFID chips. Such chips would indeed provide the personal ID# for enabling a cashless society. I don't know how much of this to trust without digging into more trusted sources. In any case, the synthetic "plandemic" is steering us towards 'no cash'.

In August 2018, Brookfield Properties signed a 99-year lease for the property, effectively taking full ownership of the building.[3][4][89] Brookfield paid $1.286 billion for the property, over $500 million less than Kushner had paid a decade before. The deal allowed the senior mortgage to be paid off in full, however, the $300 million "hope note" was written-off entirely.[90] The company planned to invest more than $600 million to overhaul the building with a new lobby, facade and mechanical systems.[91] The purchase attracted controversy since the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) owned a 9% stake in Brookfield Property Partners, which it had purchased in 2014 for $1.8 billion.[92][93] However, a spokesperson for the QIA claimed Brookfield acted independently and that "QIA had absolutely no involvement in the 666 Fifth Avenue development."[93]
At the end of 2020, billionaire Israel Englander's hedge fund Millennium Management, LLC will leave 170,000 square feet (16,000 m2) in the building to move to nearby 399 Park Avenue.[94] In 2018, investment bank William Blair & Company also announced plans to leave the building for 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) in 1166 Avenue of the Americas.[95] In February 2019 ING Bank loaned Brookfield Properties $750 million to pay for renovations on the property.[96] Apollo Global Management also reportedly provided a $300 million mezzanine loan, bringing the total financing to over $1 billion.[97] In April 2019, Vornado sold a 48% stake in a portfolio of their retail properties, including the retail condominium at 666 Fifth Avenue, to the Qatar Investment Authority and Crown Acquisitions in a deal that valued the entire portfolio at $5.6 billion.[98]
In October 2019, Brookfield announced plans to rename the building 660 Fifth Avenue and begin $400 million of renovations in late 2020 after the remaining tenants' leases expired.[99] Plans, designed by architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox, included eliminating many of the building's interior columns, offering double-high ceilings, adding four exterior terraces, and replacing the building's aluminum cladding with floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon completion of the renovations in 2023, Brookfield expected to achieve rents of over $100 per square foot, some of the most expensive office rents in all of New York City.[99] Shortly after, Akerman announced plans to move from the building to 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) at 1251 Avenue of the Americas.[100]

The dark-shadowed POTUS calling the corporate kettle black? Here Trump is not only linking Biden to be a puppet, as he himself is, but he is linking Biden to organized thugs, as he himself is.

President Trump on Monday claimed nefarious unidentified individuals are controlling Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden from "the dark shadows."
The president offered up the vague and unsupported theory during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who asked Trump who is "pulling Biden's strings."
"People that you’ve never heard of. People that are in the dark shadows," Trump responded.
"What does that mean? That sounds like a conspiracy theory," Ingraham interjected.
"They're people that are on the streets, they're people that are controlling the streets," Trump responded. He then cited a case of an unnamed individual getting on a plane "from a certain city" over the weekend. The plane, Trump claimed, was "loaded with thugs" in dark uniforms who planned to do "big damage."
Pressed for further details, Trump only said the matter was "under investigation." ...

The following discussion discusses one possible scenario for the elections, centering around delayed counting of the mail-in ballots. Here, both sides are saying not to concede early, which otherwise is the logical approach. But swirling all around this is Trump's rhetoric of asserting that mail-in balloting is fraudulent, as opposed to mail-in absentee balloting. He's even going so far as to encourage NC voters to illegally vote twice ... to test the system.

Conceivably, with the sabotage performed by the new postal commissioner, in selectively removing high-speed mail sorting machines and tampering with overtime pay, and that some states, new to statewide vote by mail, will likely be swamped, knowing a proper vote count and dealing with legal disputes could run past not only the deadline for setting Electoral College electors, but run past the date for inauguration. The country is already a divided powderkeg.


Meanwhile, Saagar muses on whether both parties have completely abandoned the working class for the white suburban voters making 250K and up:

RT's Lee Camp interviews Greg Palast who is writing a new book titled How Trump Stole 2020. Palast asserts that similar to the 2000 incident in Miami-Dade County, such as the Proud Boys and the Booger-losers will be used to target election facilities in select states such that the Electoral College electors cannot be certified, thus constitutionally throwing the matter to Congress, where each state gets one vote, and where the Republicans apparently have a 26-24 lead in respective state caucus control.


In this episode he discusses that everything is set for an October Surprise invasion of Venezuela, such as a US Navy fleet situated offshore and more. He discusses the seeming oddness of Dems keeping mum, which is consistent with Pelosi and Schumer about most everything else regarding Trump.

In the same vein as a recent post above, a Bloomberg related group is warning that Trump might have a huge apparent EC margin on election night, and have it dramatically overturned in the subsequent days and weeks, this due to the mail-in ballot situation. The call it the Red Mirage, while some on the right, like The Duran, are calling it the Red Mirage Coup.

A top Democratic data and analytics firm told "Axios on HBO" it's highly likely that President Trump will appear to have won — potentially in a landslide — on election night, even if he ultimately loses when all the votes are counted.
Why this matters: Way more Democrats will vote by mail than Republicans, due to fears of the coronavirus, and it will take days if not weeks to tally these. This means Trump, thanks to Republicans doing almost all of their voting in person, could hold big electoral college and popular vote leads on election night. ...

The below is another excerpt from the Whitney Webb article that I excerpted on the Epstein /Maxwell thread here. This excerpt is focused on William Barr because of his relationship with Trump. A common phenomenon in this tableau are efforts to distance Trump from all of this crap storm. To wit, there are two comments currently to Webb's article, the second one trying desperately and hilariously, by an alleged non-partisan Canadian, to claim that Trump is obviously not connected to any of this, despite his long connections to Cohn, Nixon, Kissinger, the Clintons, etc.. Apparently Trump has demonstrated his opposition to human trafficking by separating children from their parents and locking them in (admittedly Obama's) chain link cages.

Earlier in the article Webb discusses various Catholic associations to this including arch-pedophile Cardinal Spellman, whose agitation (not mentioned) led to the Vietnam War (aka Spelly's War), and the Catholic Templars, the Knights of Malta. Of course, the Italian-American mob has its links back to the Vatican as well. They're all just victims of the Jews, or is Judah still 'fronting' for 'Ephraim' as the Good Book scripts it?

The article also neglects the Catholic Boy's Town scandal and the Jeff Gannon 'relationship' with Bush 41.

...
One of the most critical parts of the scandal surrounding Spence, however, was the fact that he had been able to enter the White House late at night during the George H.W. Bush administration with young men whom the Washington Times described as “call boys.”
Spence later stated that his contacts within the White House, which allowed him and his “call boys” access, were “top level” officials and he specifically singled out George H.W. Bush’s then-National Security Advisor Donald Gregg. Gregg had worked at the CIA since 1951 before he resigned in 1982 to become National Security Advisor to Bush, who was then vice president. Prior to resigning from his post at the CIA, Gregg had worked directly under William Casey and, in the late 1970s, alongside a young William Barr in stonewalling the congressional Pike Committee and Church Committee, which investigated the CIA beginning in 1975. Among the things that they were tasked with investigating were the CIA’s “love traps,” or sexual blackmail operations used to lure foreign diplomats to bugged apartments, complete with recording equipment and two-way mirrors.
Barr would later become Bush’s Attorney General, rising to that post yet again under Trump. Furthermore, Barr’s father worked for the precursor to the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and recruited a young Jeffrey Epstein, then a high school drop-out, to teach at the elite Dalton School, from which Epstein was later fired. A year prior to hiring Epstein, Donald Barr published a science fiction fantasy novel about sex slavery. Notably, the same year Donald Barr hired Epstein, his son was working for the CIA. Bill Barr has refused calls to recuse himself from the Epstein case, even though he worked at the same law firm that has represented Epstein in the past.
Donald Gregg is also connected to Roy Cohn’s “influence machine” through his daughter’s marriage to Christopher Buckley, the son of conservative journalist William Buckley, close confidant and friend of both Roy Cohn and Cohn’s law partner Tom Bolan.
The Washington Times reports on Spence’s child sex ring also reveal his close ties to none other than the ubiquitous Roy Cohn. One of the Times’ sources for its first story on the scandal alleged that he had attended a birthday party for Roy Cohn that Spence had hosted at his home and that CIA Director William Casey was also in attendance. Spence was also said in the report to often brag about his social companions and regularly mentioned Cohn and claimed to have hosted Cohn at his house on occasions other than the aforementioned birthday party. ...

Trump might have a huge apparent EC margin on election night, and have it dramatically overturned in the subsequent days and weeks, this due to the mail-in ballot situation.

Not to worry. Whitney Webb has also found that the Democrats and pro-Biden Republicans are organizing to make sure that Trump doesn't win because of such issues. A group called the "Transition Integrity Project" is conducting simulations to anticipate the turmoil that could be caused by a cliffhanger election.

And furthermore, they are saying that even if Trump does win the Electoral College vote, the Democrats should not concede this time. They suggest that if Biden loses, he should create a constitutional crisis by challenging the legitimacy of the Electoral College, and calling for California, Oregon and Washington to secede from the Union unless the EC is abolished.

Webb concludes that the TIP is deeply connected to the Soros Open Society Foundation, and that plans for a coup in the event of a Trump victory amount to a sort of "color revolution". She thinks that US intelligence agencies and AI corporations are also pushing for marshal law and an end to "democratic" institutions in the US to be caused by a chaotic vote counting process, regardless of who wins.

Yes, they always have it rigged so they win either way.

Biden seems trying to lose (pulling a Hillary) though, for instance publicly accepting an endorsement from former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder(R), who helped poison Flint, MI's water with lead.

Would you trust Michael Cohen to tell the truth about his former boss?

In the book, “Disloyal: A Memoir,” which was obtained by The Washington Post ahead of its Tuesday publication date, Cohen lays out an alarming portrait of the constellation of characters orbiting around Trump, likening the arrangement to the mafia and calling himself “one of Trump’s bad guys.” He describes the president, meanwhile, as “a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man.”
[....]
On Russia, Cohen writes that the cause behind Trump’s admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin is simpler than many of his critics assume. Above all, he writes, Trump loves money — and he wrongly identified Putin as “the richest man in the world by a multiple.”
Trump loved Putin, Cohen wrote, because the Russian leader had the ability “to take over an entire nation and run it like it was his personal company — like the Trump Organization, in fact.”
[....]
Cohen writes that before winning the presidency, Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer. Afterward, Trump allegedly said: “Can you believe that bulls--t? Can you believe people believe that bulls--t?”
“The cosmic joke was that Trump convinced a vast swathe of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being,” Cohen writes. “The truth was that he couldn’t care less.”
Cohen also depicts Trump as being crude toward women, including inadvertently commenting on Cohen’s then-15-year-old daughter as she finished up a tennis lesson: “Look at that piece of a--,” Trump said, according to Cohen. “I would love some of that.” .....

What is still interesting to me in the whole Russiagate tableau is how much has been made about FBI / Deep State overreach in its investigation, but usually the critics and the mainstream neglect to distinguish that constitutional protections are mostly under the rubric of the 'criminal' sphere and not so much under the national security sphere. And that in any case, we're still told that there was much that was left off the table for consideration by Mueller or any other efforts.

Cohen says that Trump considered that all his Russian sourced money flow into Trump Org was done under the approval and/or behest of Putin. And so, under the modus operandi du jour its all left out there hanging with Trumpologists and even many anti-corporate statists claiming its all a nothingburger.

However, if we consider the tableau of 'players' including Roy Cohn, Roger Stone, Dick Nixon, etc., and all of their shenanigans, back from the Red Scare days, then what should we think of players like Woodward and Berstein being involved? Before Woodward became a reporter he was a Naval Inteligence debriefer of the Pentagon brass. According to the book, Silent Coup, Dick Nixon was brought down because of a sex ring run by John Dean's wife involving the DNC at the Watergate complex. And that he may have threatened to expose the Bay of Pigs tableau as his insurance policy. Or was all of this just part of the show allowed to distract from the real story (which involved launching China on its trajectory as a foil for Trump)?

In the following we see discussion of the revelations coming from Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, specifically Trump's admission (on video) that he knew early on that Covid-19 was a big deal and was transmitted via air. Yet he preferred then, and still does, to underplay it. Is this and similar Trump following Nixon's trajectory?

The below are excepts frpm a long Whitney Webb piece on the origins of the Epstein operation, the excerpts being where Trump is connected:

...
One often overlooked yet famous client and friend of Roy Cohn is the billionaire heir to the Estee Lauder cosmetics fortune, Ronald Lauder. Lauder is often described in the press as a “leading Jewish philanthropist” and is the president of the World Jewish Congress, yet his many media profiles tend to leave out his highly political past.
In a statement given by Lauder to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman in 2018, the cosmetics heir noted that he has known Trump for over 50 years, going back at least to the early 1970s. According to Lauder, his relationship with Trump began when Trump was a student at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, which Lauder also attended.
Though the exact nature of their early friendship is unclear, it is evident that they shared many of the same connections, including to the man who would later count them both as his clients, Roy Cohn. While much has been said of the ties between Cohn and Trump, Cohn was particularly close to Lauder’s mother, Estee Lauder (born Josephine Mentzer). Estee was even counted among Cohn’s most high-profile friends in his New York Times obituary.
A small window into the Lauder-Cohn relationship surfaced briefly in a 2016 article in Politico about a 1981 dinner party held at Cohn’s weekend home in Greenwich, Connecticut. The party was attended by Ronald Lauder’s parents, Estee and Joe, as well as Trump and his then-wife Ivana, who had a weekend home just two miles away. That party was held soon after Cohn had helped Reagan secure the presidency and had reached the height of his political influence. At the party, Cohn offered toasts to Reagan and to then-Senator for New York Alfonse D’Amato, who would later urge Ronald Lauder to run for political office.
...
The dinner specifically sought to honor Cohn for his pro-Israel advocacy and his efforts to “fortify” Israel’s economy, and its honorary chairmen included media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump and then-head of Bear Stearns Alan Greenberg, all of whom are connected to Jeffrey Epstein. ...
...
In addition, Lauder was well-connected to Epstein’s former patron — former head of Bear Stearns Alan Greenberg, who had hired Epstein in the late 1970s immediately after the latter was fired from the Dalton School — and Donald Trump, another friend of Lauder and Greenberg who began his friendship with Epstein in 1987, the same year the fake Austrian passport was issued. In 1987, Epstein also began his relationship with his principal financier, Leslie Wexner, who is also closely associated with Lauder (though some sources claim that Epstein and Wexner first met in 1985 but that their strong business relationship was not established until 1987). ...
...
In addition, Mega Group members have also been key players in the pro-Israel lobby in the United States. For instance, Max Fisher of the Mega Group foundedthe National Jewish Coalition, now known as the Republican Jewish Coalition — the main pro-Israel neoconservative political lobbying group, known for its support of hawkish policies, and whose current chief patrons, Sheldon Adelson and Bernard Marcus, are among Donald Trump’s top donors. ...
George Nader has previously been discussed on this thread in relation to Trump (from the same link above):

...
Almost one year to the day after the “Mega” spy scandal broke, the Wall Street Journal was the first outlet to report on the existence of a little-known organization of billionaires that was “informally” called the Mega Group and had been founded years prior in 1991. The report made no mention of the spy scandal that had spread concerns of Israeli espionage in the U.S. only a year prior. However, the group’s distinctive “informal” name and the connections of its members to the Mossad and to high-ranking Israeli politicians, including prime ministers, raise the possibility that “Mega” was not an individual, as the FBI and NSA had believed, but a group.
In 1997, when the “Mega” spy scandal broke, Netanyahu had recently become prime minister of Israel after an upset victory, a victory that was largely creditedto one well-connected Netanyahu backer in particular, Ronald Lauder. Beyond being a major donor, Lauder had brought Arthur Finklestein on to work for Netanyahu’s 1996 campaign, whose strategies were credited for Netanyahu’s surprise win. Netanyahu was close enough to Lauder that he personally enlisted Lauder and George Nader to serve as his peace envoys to Syria.
Nader, who was connected to the Trump 2016 campaign and Trump ally and Blackwater founder Erik Prince, was recently hit with federal child sex trafficking charges last month, soon after Jeffrey Epstein had been arrested on similar charges. At the time Nader was picked to work with Lauder on Netanyahu’s behalf, he had already been caught possessing large amounts of child pornography on two separate occasions, first in 1984 and later in 1990. ...
Regarding the infamous Promis spy software (from the same link):

...
Maxwell was also a close associate and friend of Israeli “superspy” Rafi Eitan, who, as previously mentioned, was Jonathan Pollard’s handler and who had previously worked directly with Meyer Lansky. Eitan had learned of a revolutionary new software being used by the U.S. government known as “Promis” from Earl Brian, a long-time associate and aide to Ronald Reagan. Promis is often considered the forerunner to the “Prism” software used by spy agencies today and was developed by William Hamilton, who leased the software to the U.S. government through his company, Inslaw, in 1982.
According to author and former BBC investigative journalist Gordon Thomas, Brian was angry that the U.S. Department of Justice was successfully using Promis to go after organized crime and money-laundering activities and Eitan felt that the program could aid Israel. At the time, Eitan was the director of the now defunct Israeli military intelligence agency Lekem, which gathered scientific and technical intelligence abroad from both public and covert sources, especially in relation to Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
A plan was hatched to install a “trapdoor” into the software and then market Promis throughout the world, providing the Mossad with invaluable intelligence on the operations of its enemies and allies while also providing Eitan and Brian with copious amounts of cash. According to the testimony of ex-Mossad official Ari Ben-Menashe, Brian provided a copy of Promis to Israel’s military intelligence, which contacted an Israeli American programmer living in California who then planted the “trapdoor” in the software. The CIA was later said to have installed its own trapdoor in the software but it is unknown if they did so with a version of the already bugged software and how widely it was adopted relative to the version bugged by Israeli intelligence.
After the trapdoor was inserted, the problem became selling the bugged version of the software to governments as well as private companies around the world, particularly in areas of interest. Brian first attempted to buy out Inslaw and Promis and then use that same company to sell the bugged version.
Unsuccessful, Brian turned to his close friend, then-Attorney General Ed Meese whose Justice Department then abruptly refused to make the payments to Inslaw that were stipulated by the contract, essentially using the software for free, which Inslaw claimed to be theft. Some have speculated that Meese’s role in that decision was shaped, not only by his friendship with Brian, but the fact that his wife was a major investor in Brian’s business ventures. Meese would later become an adviser to Donald Trump when he was president-elect.
Inslaw was forced to declare bankruptcy as a result of Meese’s actions and sued the Justice Department. The court later found that the Meese-led department “took, converted, stole” the software through “trickery, fraud and deceit.”
With Inslaw out of the way, Brian sold the software all over the world. Eitan later recruited Robert Maxwell to become another Promis salesman, which he did remarkably well, even succeeding in selling the software to Soviet intelligence and conspiring with Republican Texas Senator John Tower to have the software adopted by the U.S. government laboratory at Los Alamos. Dozens of countries used the software on their most carefully guarded computer systems, unaware that Mossad now had access to everything Promis touched. ...

Does Meese qualify as Deep state or Swamp?

Related to more current spy software and Trump (also from the same link):

...
In 2015, a few years after Epstein’s release from prison following his conviction for soliciting sex from a minor in 2008, Barak formed a company with Epstein with the chief purpose of investing in an Israeli start-up then known as Reporty. That company, now called Carbyne, sells its signature software to 911 call centers and emergency service providers and is also available to consumers as an app that provides emergency services with access to a caller’s camera and location and also runs any caller’s identity through any linked government database. It has specifically been marketed by the company itself and the Israeli press as a solution to mass shootings in the United States and is already being used by at least two U.S. counties.
Israeli media reported that Epstein and Barak were among the company’s largest investors. Barak poured millions into the company and it was recently revealed by Haaretz that a significant amount of Barak’s total investments in Carbyne was funded by Epstein, making him a “de facto partner” in the company. Barak is now Carbyne’s chairman.
The company’s executive team are all former members of different branches of Israeli intelligence, including the elite military intelligence unit, Unit 8200, that is often likened to Israel’s equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Carbyne’s current CEO, Amir Elichai, served in Unit 8200 and tapped former Unit 8200 commander Pinchas Buchris to serve as the company’s director and on its board. In addition to Elichai, another Carbyne co-founder, Lital Leshem, also served in Unit 8200 and later worked for Israeli private spy company Black Cube. Leshem now works for a subsidiary of Erik Prince’s company Frontier Services Group, according to the independent media outlet Narativ.
The company also includes several tie-ins to the Trump administration, including Palantir founder and Trump ally Peter Thiel — an investor in Carbyne. In addition, Carbyne’s board of advisers includes former Palantir employee Trae Stephens, who was a member of the Trump transition team, as well as former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. Trump donor and New York real-estate developer Eliot Tawill is also on Carbyne’s board, alongside Ehud Barak and Pinchas Buchris.
Narativ, which wrote the first expose on Carbyne after Epstein’s arrest, noted that the Chinese government uses a smartphone app very similar to Carbyne as part of its mass surveillance apparatus, even though the original purpose of the app was for improved emergency reporting. According to Narativ, the Chinese Carbyne-equivalent “monitors every aspect of a user’s life, including personal conversations, power usage, and tracks a user’s movement.” ...

The following is a great presentation on Fascism and it discusses why Trump is its current expression, sardonically as a global, corporate fascist rather than as a nationalist corporate fascist. But then all historical populist fascists have been false advertising as well. Such is why Trump's political persona is a well crafted stage mask, as I've discussed in numerous posts on this thread.


As the title suggests, Fascism follows on from the decay (or excesses) of Capitalism which enables the former. Corporations and their previous ownership live on, happier than ever for the most part. This while the respective brown shirts and their new MAGA hats get left in the gutter. Trump beams while holding up his shitty Bible bookmarked to Genesis 47. The bookmark is a picture of Jerry Fall Well and his love birds.

The following video discusses a new political ad by the Biden campaign taking advantage of Trump's halting the payroll tax, which is ridiculous on its face because plandemically unemployed people will not benefit, because they no longer have any pay.

In any case, the Biden campaign is calling this payroll tax issue a problem with Trump's 2016 campaign where he repeatedly stated that he would protect Social Security, which is funded by ... the payroll tax. Trump is well on board with the Neoliberal agenda to gut the government generally, such as we are witnessing with the Post Office, long under attack by the PaleoRepublicans.

The following video, somewhat unfulfilling in the main, nevertheless pecks away at the thin veneer of isolation from the Epstein pedophile tableau maintained by both the MAGA crowd and the Clinton fawning MSM. Of course, 'we' can discount what this Jewess says, .. right? Also that she is Michael Cohen's loyal daughter, ... right?

The WSWS spotted this Trump Hitler typology in a video from the Trump administration.


The short Trump video maps onto the first 9:22 of the original Nazi propaganda film 'Triumph of the Will':


It's a pretty simple plot. In both films, the story begins with the Great Leader in the air. The aircraft is lovingly shown from various angles as it approaches its destination. After the landing, the Leader embarks from the aircraft, goes into a building, and gives a Nazi salute from the window.

The Nazi film is longer, and contains additional elements: images of the clouds surrounding the aircraft, the buildings of the city as the craft flies over them, and (perhaps most importantly) a motorcade with a huge enthusiastic crowd. Trump was greeted by a relatively small group of his agents, and walked directly from the heliport to the White House.

From MacDonald's criteria (number, density and sequence of parallels, and accessibility) this looks like a valid typology to me. Kudos to the WSWS for pointing this out.

WSWS has also been covering the Trump Administration plans to overthrow the results of the upcoming presidential election. Biden, who did much better than I expected at his debate with Trump last week, has amassed a massive lead in public opinion polls. So, as Richard often pointed out in this thread, Trump's only alternative to jail and disgrace is to stay in office somehow, in spite of the voters if necessary.

Last Thursday, a plot to kidnap and murder Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer was exposed by federal and state investigators. Today, Eric London at WSWS says that "the Michigan events were only one part of an ongoing nationwide conspiracy." London explains:

The only significant statements about the broader framework of the conspiracy have come from Michigan officials. The state’s attorney general, Dana Nessel, told MSNBC’s Katy Tur yesterday: “I will tell you this: this may very well be the tip of the iceberg. I don’t feel as though our work or the work of the federal authorities is complete. And I think there are still dangerous individuals that are out there.”
Speaking yesterday on ABC’s “Good Morning America”, Whitmer warned, “I’m not the only governor going through this… It is not unique to me.”
Neither Michigan official gave any details of what they know. However, it is clear that the threats to kill governors and launch insurrections are focused on battleground states with Republican legislatures and Democratic governors: Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. These states are the linchpin of Trump’s strategy to carry out a coup.
  • In May, Salon reported police were investigating organized militias armed with assault rifles who were threatening North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper over lockdown measures. Anti-lockdown protesters were bussed to the state capitol with “enthusiastic astroturf support from Republican operatives and megadonors—one of whom offered to pay to bus protesters into the city.”
  • In Pennsylvania, a 28-year-old was charged on May 11 for organizing an armed group to kill Democratic Governor Tom Wolf. The next day, on May 12, Trump tweeted: “The great people of Pennsylvania want their freedom now and they are fully aware of what that entails.”
  • In Wisconsin, fascist gunman Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two protestors on August 23 during protests in Kenosha against the police murder of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse was part of a network of fascist militia who descended upon the city. Trump praised Rittenhouse and defended his actions, writing in August that “he was in big trouble. He probably would have been killed.”
Similar threats have been made against the Democratic governors in other states.
  • Yesterday, a radio station in Louisiana (which is not considered a battleground state) reported that “more than 30 groups designated as ‘hate groups’ or anti-government militias like the group arrested last week in Michigan” place Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards’ life in danger.
  • In January, when over 10,000 militia rallied at the Virginia state capital in Richmond, Democratic Governor Ralph Northam said he had “credible intelligence” that the demonstrators “may be armed and have as their purpose not peaceful assembly, but violence, rioting and insurrection.” A state legislator, Democratic Socialists of America member Lee Carter, was forced to flee the capitol to a safe house due to threats against his life.
On September 17, FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House of Representatives that the agency was conducting “a good bit north of 1,000 [investigations of far-right violence] this year.” This was “higher” than normal, he said, explaining that the threat posed by right-wing militias was “commensurate with ISIS.”
The next day, Trump threatened to fire Wray for these comments, saying, “I did not like his answers yesterday,” and “Antifa is bad, really bad.”
London blames the silence and spinelessness of Democratic politicians and mass media. But the WSWS is also complicit in covering up the nature and extent of "Antifa" violence (which is really a Soros-funded color revolution). They also are feasting on the hysteria over Covid-19, while covering up the potential effectiveness of vitamin D, HCQ, and Ivermectin in response to the pandemic.
