Michael Flynn Seemed to Have Been Acting As National Security Adviser a Bit Early
When the F.B.I. directed by James Comey decided to ambush N.S.A. Michael Flynn in a White House interview just days after the Trump administration took office, former JSOC Intelligence Director Flynn choose to field questions from the F.B.I. He felt he had nothing to hide and was confident in his role as the National Security Adviser. He may have had no awareness of the Logan Act that made his intercessions for the benefit of the nation, rather than for personal reasons of profit, as a private citizen just before officially going on the job, legally wrong.
Comey apparent sent over partisan agents early while the Trump team of non-lawyers was somewhat disoriented because of the newness of the jobs. Flynn wasn't a lawyer and would have been fine if he had not taken the N.S.A. job. Apparently most people don't register as foreign agents if lobbying for foreign countries. Maybe some of them that work on other matters too don't actually know they are supposed to. One must be very careful if a Turkish government official asks a private citizen to write to their Senator to help get Turkish apricots an exemption from Trump tariffs.
As an effective intelligence Director Flynn had good enough reason to dissimulate and conceal proprietary information from the F.B.I. The F.B.I. is hardly read in to the highest classified information the National Security Director may have regarding means and sources. Not even broadcast journalist would reveal their sources in all cases to the F.B.I.; how much more would a C.I.A. Director conceal information or even lie to an F.B.I. rife with Democrat party partisans in order to conserve national security. Flynn was perhaps too new on the job to realize his information was probably covered by executive privilege. Flynn's conversations with Ambassador Kislyak may ave been deemed need-to-know only.
A Clinton appointee to the Federal Bench- Judge Emmett Sullivan has in two consecutive days lambasted Michael Flynn as a suspect of treason and overturned the Attorney General Sessions era order that not all victims of crime are eligible for asylum in the United States. Democrats this week have said they would let the government shut down before funding a National Security wall even in part along the Mexican border. Democrats are not the party for national security.
The Democrat party seemed to e trying very hard to get a legal wedge in on the new Trump administration. Most of the principles are partisan Democrats. Former F.B.I. Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's wife Jill got 675,000 dollars from Bill Clinton's money man Terry McAullife for her political campaign. gave large donations to the Clinton campaign. Strozk- one of the agents that interviewed Flynn in the White House, wrote to Page that Trump must be stopped through official government offices. Other critical emails, like those of Hillary Clinton, were inexplicably erased. The Flynn-Trump attack has Clintonista written all over it. McAullife may be a presidential candidate in 2020.

Veto McConnellcrat Short Term Spending Bill Unless $2 billion for Wall is Included
If congress wants to close down government for $2 billion when the shut down may cost a substantial portion of that each day, go for it. President Trump should get at least $2 billion for building a wall now and more later. Tens of millions of people want the wall built. McConnell shouldn't grinch them for Christmas.
President Trump Isn't Causing Recession
The President is no progenitor of recession. Economists are well known to have different opinions about mass economic policies and effects. Accurate predictions of future recessions are not made with scientific rigor so well that the methods are verifiable and indisputably accurate. Emotion is part of the equation and it can be difficult to quantify. Sometimes they are political opinions expressed as a way to oppose a Presidential incumbent’s economic policy. and neglect national development.
Without correction the Chinese trade relationship would harm U.S. national interests. Like ancient imperial Rome that became too globalized and reached the Toynbean condition of a Universal phase (so far as it could without owning everything such as Parthia or China, the U.S. hyper-active global traders and investors tend to neglect continuing development of national interests and like ancient Rome the historical tendency is to fall.
Unlike the former great British empire the U.S.A. has a great land mass so it need not over-rely on foreign trade. Facing the EU Britain seems to have a choice between dissolution as a small part of the EU or to remain somewhat self-standing nationally and to seek more national self-reliance with new tech in addition to foreign trade.
Rectification of economics in the present era would seem to require a transformation to and renewal of infrastructure and regulating governance to one of national ecological economic sustainability of material quantitatively as well as the national standard of living. Adam Smith’ approach to capitalism expressed in the Wealth of Nations reflected economics and social needs of the day where over-population and ecological decay were not pressing concerns. As a small nation in land area England needed unregulated foreign trade to allow its vigorous traders to function in business transactions globally across an expanding empire. While individual direction and initiative are important still, the United States and even China have not got the same trade globally in proportion to a small land mass relation as did Smith’s England of the 18th century.
The President could stimulate a recession upon indolent, obstinate and recalcitrant people by causing their reactions to transpire that would slow down the national economy perhaps, yet there is plenty to work with such that business activity need not cease.
Unlike the 70’s recession that was caused in part by the lack of iron and other materials for automobile production in the mid-west as well as expanding global competition and production of fossil fuel automobiles (and numerous other reasons involving foreign and domestic affairs as well as tech and capital changes, and reallocation of resources), the present U.S. economy has impending recession only insofar as mass terrorism and ecospheric disasters to existing infrastructure are increasingly expensive to repair and as after 9–11 lead the fear factor to shrink the economy. The reliance on foreign trade is historically at least, amusing. It seems that China too wants to expropriate African and other natural resources for redistribution to itself for a variety of reasons, and of course the United States has done so too (as well as Europe). China has a huge population that is challenged to improve a standard of living and civil liberties with reliance on domestic resources so far as possible in order to conserve the planetary ecosphere. The United States has the same challenge with a smaller population it seeks to increase through legal and illegal immigration in order to de facto arrive at least at half of the Chinese challenge of sustaining a standard of living that is good for half a billion people. The fewer the people to a certain extent, the easier it is as less material resources are required.
In the modern world to recede might not have the same economic meaning and value as when it was first used. Then there is the fact that overseas expansion concentrates wealth in the United States for the 1%. Ordinary average wages don’t match Wall Street’s rise in value for example. The minimum wage of Americans in 1974 was $2.00 while today it is $7.75. That is just a +300% increase. Since 1970 the Wall Street index has increased far more. In 1970 it was at 832 while today it is more than 23,000.
Yes President Trump could find some way to move the economy toward recession yet I.M.O. the problem if any is in the people without ideas for national development rather than in those seeking national development and ecological economic sustainability.
The national public debt is not President Trump’s, it is that of both parties and an incompetent House and Senate that cannot ever balance the budget or provide services to the people affordably. People generally believe those elected are or become corrupt materialists and corporatists seeming primarily to benefit themselves and Wall Street instead of the people of the United States.

Huawei, Iran, Trade War Etc.
Did a Huawei arrest help win the trade war? I.M.O. it wasn’t intended to. Arrest of Huawei perps is self-standing for legal reasons, or obviously they should be released. For that matter, the trade war is important only insofar as soy sales need to resume and Chinese solar power panels should be allowed to flood the U.S.A. without tariffs in order to simulate competition.
Violating U.S. sanctions on Iran is a serious matter. Though we would like to be on good terms with Iran’s fundamentalist Shi’ite government (well at least I would though its hard to say what godless atheist Democrats really think about it. In a way Pres. Obama seemed to want to pursue a constructive engagement policy with Iran, give them a decade to develop quality missiles and twenty years to just research building nuclear bombs before putting them on quality missiles), the U.S. for bureaucratic ineptitude development of fine foreign policy because of inertial drifts into inflexibility and maladaptive recognition and correction of dysfunctional policy reasons, objectively has made a tradition of bungling Iranian-US relations. Even so, buying and forwarding banned U.S. manufactures to Iran is a violation of law.
Huwei’s 5G technology may be of service to Chinese Red Army intelligence gathering and that is a concern although probably not a present violation of U.S. law. As the new tech goes on line western powers and others that have no desire to kow tow to China as they might to Apple or Google intelligence gatherers, Facebook etc might want to ditch the Huawei phones etc.

WWG1WGA, Broadcast Media and Corporatism
WWG1WGA is an interesting and to most, an unfamiliar word-string of letters. It is part of the Q and MAGA movements. One web site describes in at some length.
Mr Geddes calls WWG1WGA the greatest communications event in history.
I would tend to call the phenomenon a natural result of average people that are materialists and atheists trying to rise in corporate media that is owned by the 1% of concentrated wealth. The philosophy of corporatism was invented by the Italian Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini and unifies the government and corporate leadership. Adolf Hitler used it well in pre-war Germany. Unfortunately corporatism destroys individual civil liberties as efficiently as did Soviet Communism. National socialism and regular socialism are still collectives of meaningless proles living in a vast sardine can susceptible to Eleatic shrinking of wealth as corporate-government leaders prefer.
Sure there should be rectification of U.S. politics in order to stop the corrupted broadcast media from having its way brainwashing the American public generally for the benefit of corporatism. Pure materialists from average to the most wealthy lack a spiritual element and actually lack good sense regarding material value systems that is compounded through the middle term called money.
The corporate media, NPR sycophants of corporatist goals and the broadcast media complex of compresence inclusive of large social media Internet sites hate non-corporate profit supporting and corporate goal controlling free expression. They minimize it and bury it in dark place of the Internet. Because concentrated wealth has its way in mass and social communications as well as rents their influence natural gets rid of free expression 'weeds'. Ordinary people are often satisfied with that because they haven't any creative thought for-themselves; they aren't philosophers that would like a perfect democracy with a vast freedom for spiritual and intellectual activity where inventors actually profit instead of ever idea trickling up to produce wealth for the 1%.
Basically no one in government or media has any good sense or awareness of the actual way things are or what is occurring. Not even global warming theory will fix the misunderstood political zeitgeist.

Obama's Man Comey Still Hostile to the President
Former
F.B.I. Director James Comes Comey continues to show his hostility to the President that apparently began during his tenure in office. He had F.B.I. Employees working for him that were hostile too, and his record does appear biased in favor of the Democrat party. His most recent hostile act was to call the President a liar for a Presidential tweet saying euphemistically that government agents broke in to his former private attorney's office to take his confidential records. The language is euphemistic yet descriptive of the fact. It was true describing an aggressive, hostile action and not a lie. It was a lawful forced entry that was a break in from the victim's point of view...that is the entry and plundering was not done with the consent of the victim. Citizens don't want such events to become so common that the nation need begin a 'me too' movement describing government break ins to their personal attorney offices.
The
President probably is smart enough to know that a legal warrant was
issued for the exceeding rare act of violating attorney-client
privilege to let prosecutors ransack what normally are confidential
records. It was a threat to the security and integrity of the legal
justice system of the United States with its adversarial form.
Dictatorships of course have no reluctance or inhibition to violating
any rights of the accused, yet in the United States that was at least
beyond the pale, though there are some few circumstances where such
violations or breaking of the normal legal procedures occur.
There
are other trends from Clinton-Obama Democrats and fellow travelers
that concern the erosion of freedom in the United States. That is,
they can gloss over facts or true accounts and generate through
sympathetic media big lies. When falsehoods take over the media and
are common to become common currency in the courts and drive legal
procedures to nearly unprecedented lengths such as breaking the
sanctity of the office and records of the personal attorney of the
President of the United States, democracy is in danger of becoming a
sham.

Senator Schumer and the Tradition of Flaky Senatorial Palaver
It
seems that every decade has its own special flaky U.S. Senator given
to making inaccurate or just plain spaced statements. After Senator
Helms passed on the nation was without one for a time. Senator Helms
spoiled his irascible wierdness with some quality work and backbone
too. Then along came Senator Lindsey Graham with a wacko opinion
every week it seemed. Yet he gradually quit that and actually started
sounding comparatively reasonable. He did a great dis-serve to
watchers of politics when he quit the clownishness.
So
the nation has Senator Chuck Schemer to amuse them with illogic and
disinterpretation of events for the present. Senators need to enrich
special interests of course while accumulating wealth for-themselves.
The are required to seem incapable of creative and efficient thought
that would make a better more efficient and affodable government
working for a better nation unceasingly for the people including the
poor. Senator Schumer's public statement seem the antinomy of
anything like that.
If Voters Had Known Of Moscow Project Would It Have Made a Difference?
If
voters had known that the Trump organization was trying to build a
hotel in Russia in 2016 would that have made a difference in the
election? President Trump has properties and licensed places all over
the world so overlooking Russia would have been strange.
If
Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin had taken out an ad in
the N.Y. Times in October 2016 saying that he was working with Donald
Trump to build a hotel in Moscow (possibly) would that have elicited
more than a yawn from readers?
The
President of the United States made a pre-inaugural agreement that he
wouldn't pursue foreign real estate or hotel deals while in office. I
cannot say how far that applies to his organization. Yet it is not
secretive apparently.
Wikipedia
quotes Forbes magazine writing on the topic; “The
Trump Organization has curtailed some of its international work,
pulling out of deals in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Brazil,
while pledging to do no new foreign deals (though it has apparently
resurrected an old deal in the Dominican
Republic).
Trump’s international hotel licensing and management business only
makes up $220 million of his estimated $3.5 billion fortune, but it’s
the most dynamic part of the Trump portfolio—and it throws off
chunks of cash with virtually no risk. As the Trumps have wound down
some international deals, they continue to push forward with new
domestic agreements.”
Forbes
recently published an article claiming that President Putin of the
Russian Federation had a hold over Donald Trump in that Donald Trump
was fearful that Putin would let slip that Donald Trump had tried or
was trying to build a hotel in Russia.
That
President Trump was going about normal business activity is the prime
plum that Special Investigator has found according to Forbes. It is
underwhelming enough. President Trump also owns a Vodka making
business. That should not have been overlooked for possible Russian
collusion in case any Russian experts were imbibing that in 2016 as a
way to divide the nation that otherwise would love Hillary,
Obamacare, homosexual marriage, illegal aliens, a degrading ecosphere
and twenty trillion dollars of public debt.

Guessing P.M. May's Next Vector Fork Brexit
British P.M. Theresa May having survived a vote of confidence test in her conservative party has some few months to get her Brexit bill passed by a recalcitrant parliament that would prefer to have her cake and eat it too or let the hard natural Brexit evolution become fact 29 May 2019 when the lines would be cut to EU pirate ships plundering British booty. What is her secret recipe the next few months?
The Brit
PM might organize an alternative global economic organization with
the British former Empire at the core yet welcoming anyone that wants
to be member of a preferred trade and business group without any sort
of social surrender requirements regarding sovereignty. It is
possible that she might sell a new ecological economic trade
organization that lets nations join whom are willing to work
sustainable economic policies and measures within her new economic
organization. At least the organization might allow just sustainable
businesses the zero-tariff free trade while taxing anything else that
would seek to pass through the green screen.
Probably
leaving without an agreement is best for Britain insofar as Britain
is enough of a party house as it is and millions of migrants arriving
to plunder and trash the place wouldn't be too helpful. Alternatively
may have a Russian economic collusion card she could play after
Brexit is wrapped up to bring Russian into a new economic order with
Britain being the non-space business brain to develop Russia for a
profit.
Actually
there are too many economic possibilities to enumerate in a brief
note for the British PM to potentially utilize. PM May could choose a
conservative Wilsonian reform direction or a liberal Thacherite
equalization of trade globally within any of several potential
international organizational formats She could create and lead.
Instead of the many EU encumbrances that made belonging an onerous
duty to those without ecological economic ideas for-themselves or
for-others May's Thatcherian updates could induct new players into a
more equitable business union.
Sen Schumer- Illogical Wall Funding Ideas
Senator Chuck Schumer illogically believes that because Mexico will pay indirectly for the wall through increased U.S. income from revision of NAFTA the U.S. Government doesn't need to appropriate funds to build the wall. If that sort of reasoning is typical of federal politicians it easily explains why there is a twenty trillion dollar public debt.
Senator Schumer may believe that foreign governments directly fund U.S. government projects while the Senate sits on its ambition. Yet Mueller is investigating President Trump instead of Schumer for foreign collusion.

US Judge Body Slams Obamacare- Dems May Tap Out
After
a Federal Judge in Texas body slammed Obamacare ruling the individual
mandate unconstitutional Democrats that forcibly snuck passage of
Obamacare through a congressional recess should tap out and look for
a new match for health care that actually includes the poor that must
travel interstate for work annually. Those people were left out of
the Obamacare program that was designed for obese middle class
Democrat voters whom are sedentary.
A
righteous and realistic health care bill would be multi-purpose and
cover all of the poor, veterans and would serve as a national
emergency health care disaster back-up facility. It would greatly
expand the VA and homeless clinics, unite them and let all poor
Americans with citizenship identification walk in to any of those
facilities for free treatment.
Democrats
could tie the system access together with a new national high-speed
electric mass transit tube train infrastructure to bring patients to
hospitals. Those prosperous Americans that can actually afford health
care insurance or pay it out of pocket should do so and not use a
system designed for anyone that cannot afford proper or any medical
treatment besides band aids.

Obamacare Individual Mandate Ruled Unconstitutional
So many people knew that it was unconstitutional for the government to compel people to buy insurance and to tax other people to pay for it. A federal judge saw it that way too and ruled the Individual mandate unconstitutional. So much time wasted by Obamacare. Democrats should have just expanded VA Hospitals and homeless clinics, brought them together to treat those that are actually poor for nothing, and built a national electromagnetic tube transport system to get people to treatment locations.

Hobson's Choice of Paying off Federal Debt or Economic Growth?
There are innumerable configurations of macro-economic relations possible. Creative economic minds select one course of action for political economy and determine the present vector. Yet the U.S. Government probably is functioning to materially benefit the 1%. Three billionaires have as much wealth as 160 million U.S. citizens. Concentrating wealth allows the most rich to buy the media and control political opinion and thought to a certain extent while also closing down secure internet sites for writers to express dissenting ideas. One could reduce the federal debt (and they should) yet that would require progressive taxation and Americans have been misled to believe that higher taxes on the rich support indolent socialists that don’t want to work and want everything for nothing.
A democracy should be somewhat egalitarian and support individual independence so far as possible. Because concentrated wealth can become a political danger the progressive tax is requisite to keep the blimps tethered.
Democracy is the great middle ground between socialism and plutocracy. Democracy can serve the demographically real people best and fairly reform non-sustainable economic policy toward sustainable economic foundations that place growth in quality instead of material quantity. Most U.S. politicians are unable or unwilling to defend real democracy and progressive taxes instead of sieging the capitalist fuhrer of either party in the White House who may nominally talk about conservation of the environment but in fact doesn’t in the least move away from the concentration of wealth to the point of making the 1% royalty. One-percent economics is non-sustainable economics and completely against democracy.
Maybe This is Why Some Foreigners Consider the U.S.A. a Great Nation
The United States has had the strongest democracy for a couple of centuries with liberal immigration policy and freedom from the ossified social structures of the old world or the pathos and suffering of underdeveloped countries. Landing a man on the moon made a good impression although Steph Curry of the Warriors doesn’t believe that really happened. Being on the winning side of the past two world wars mattered.
In recent years the concentration of wealth tarnished the image with just three of our billionaires having as much wealth as half of the citizens of the nation. The left have supported foreign sides of armed conflicts since the start of the 20th century now and then and they have helped create a negative view of the U.S.A. and sometimes seek globalist socialism such as that envisioned by Trotsky. Most of the broadcast media are left-leaning corporatist stooges that are not for egalitarian democracy with progressive taxation. The ultra-rich and global socialists are both globalists, so Hollywood leftists get along well with the 1% as long as they are well paid.
Many Americans are against foreign migration to the United States now because of the economic structure that tends to benefit the rich, create vast public debt and encourage cheap foreign labor for the advantaged with immigration and outsourcing. If foreigners don’t want to migrate here that would be good.
Ecological economics and sustainable economics require a stable population too rather than millions more. The nation already has 320 million souls and without radical ecological economic reform that is nearly impossible to innovate with the current political stasis, that is more than enough. The economy is on a disposable material foundation of non-renewability like that of most nations and eventually, with over-population, that won’t work.
Censorship through indirect means is increasing in the U.S.A. though it is not as bad as that of authoritarian nations. Corporatism closes down venues for writing and expressing dissenting political opinions while authoritarian nations like China just arrest people and toss them in jail.
The United States continues to have religious freedom unlike China and Muslim nations. The evolutionary atheists movement hates Christian though and are gradually trying to marginalize Christians.
The United States also has a large economy, military and allows free enterprise. Foreigners locating to the U.S.A. are often very successful in business.

About the Worst Charges the President Faces
It may be that no one is very sure of what Mueller is looking into. It is a kind of posterior alien probe providing ongoing pain for the President. A federal judge presently is examining the F.B.I. paradigm for the Flynn interview and Mueller may have some tainted evidence. It all does seem partisan and hostile in comparison to the treatment that Hillary and minions got. They were widely believed to be liars and no sort of lying charges were brought.
Yet there are some funny elements to the Democrat Party efforts to purge the Republican President from office. It looks like it could be boiling down to a matter of if the payments to a couple of women that say they sexed the President years ago were some sort of campaign finance violation, and that seems rather far-fetched.
The most serious matter however, might be if Special Investigator Mueller has evidence of alien life forms from Area 51 acting in collusion with Donald Trump to move the Earth elsewhere in the galaxy because of all of its liquid water. Three billionaires in the U.S.A. have more money that 160 million U.S. citizens. Americans like bread and circuses more than egalitarian democracy. Luckily none of those billionaires are in cahoots with the extra terrestrials that might be colluding with the President if they exist.

RT News Notes That PM Trudeau is President Trump's Lackey
Finally an independent opinion has arisen noting that Canada is a lackey of the U.S.A. Russia's RT news wrote that Canada is an American lackey. America lacks colonies yet it may have a lackey equivalent of a Facebook follower. So far as I know this is the first media use of the term lackey since the end of the Cold War so history is being made.
Canada arrested someone named Meng Wanzhou. China is arresting Canadians as hostages to secure the release of Meng who I believe is being extradited to face charges in the US. Supposedly she coordinated sanctions violations and sold product to Iran that was American.

Huawei is larger than Apple and second only to Samsung in making smartphones. Their 5G products may be directly used for Red Army espionage, or some other intelligence agency.
Canada seemed to want to be independent during the recent NAFTA renegotiation and PM Trudeau had a rather piffy attitude now and then. Yet as an American lackey he did not complain when American motor plants were closed recently because prospects for building in China down the road may be better than Canada that pollutes rivers with mining tailings piles' wastewater.
Probably RT has shamed Canada enough now to make them reconcile with Russia over Ukraine and seek better relations with China as their lackey, leaving lackeyhood with the U.S.A. It is important to anticipate or at least keep track of the primary nations of interest. Saudi Arabia didn't accuse Canada of being anyone's lackey. Maybe that isn't an Arabian concept.

Russion Collusioner Butina Cops Plea for Influencing NRA to be Conservative
Evidently the National Rifle Association was the unwitting dupe of a femme fatale Russian spy and community conspiracy organizing agent trying to persuade the National Rifle Association- quite unfairly- to vote for Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton as they normally would have. Democrats are all over gun ownership rights and border security.

President Trump's former fixer-lawyer plead guilty to throwing the election to Donald by paying two former alleged sex partners of the President as well as the National Enquirer to not publicize the salacious alleged sex. Normally Donald Trump wouldn't care if women and the national scandal sheets told the planet about his sexual adventures. House Speaker to be Nancy Pelosi recently questioned Donald Trump's manhood publicly suggesting that he wanted a big wall to compensate for his genetic endowments. Plainly the President prefers the former sort of publicity rather than the latter
Speaker Pelosi might want the world to believe California is wide-spread and waiting for illegal immigrants. She might agree that those seeking asylum in Caravans should be given $50,000 apiece as they demand to return to Central America or else they will continue to agitate for asylum and discover ways to slip through holes in security to California.
The collusion of Russia to get President Trump elected apparently went so far as to promise to base Russian nuclear-capable bombers in Venezuela to help out the President if he nears impeachment. The American public is so gullible to foreign election interference that they cannot be trusted and in the future Democrats may need to rule by decree or at least special electors to vote as Demo leaders know Americans would vote if they had any sense.
