WATCH: Predictions for Trump 2.0

IMA Discusses Cabinet Picks & Policy Proposals

Today the Independent Media Alliance brings you a panel focusing on the incoming Trump administration, its cabinet picks thus far, and the policy positions they are proposing, as well as those officially put forward by Trump’s administration itself.

We discuss the possibility of the senate not confirming Trump’s original picks and what the implications may be, and the different political ploys that may be underway. We also focus on the possible openings for positive change within Trump’s proposed solutions and cabinet picks, objectively compared to/balanced alongside the many warning signs of his very proposals (feigned or otherwise) solidifying a technocratic control grid.

Hey all – we have been trying for a while to find a fix for the broken comment edit function, but it’s proving difficult to isolate the problem. We’re disabling the (currently useless) option while we continue to look into it, since it being there but unusable is understandably annoying to many of you.

We will try to get it restored asap.

Kit (52:45): It was the war on covid.

The Globalist establishment wasted their long-planned, covid psyop in the coup attempt against Trump. You have it recorded in your 2020 articles (examples below). Trump responded against the coup attempt by declaring himself a “wartime president”; launching Operation Warp Speed; and (probably) invoking Continuity of Government in January 2021.

I use the label “Trump” to refer to the military-intelligence operation which has DJT as the figurehead. Without the support of military intelligence, DJT would have never even run for president.

This is how Leave won in 2016. The establishment thought they had it all fixed. Boris & co were fake Brexiteers and the Leave campaign was supposed to lose by a few percentage points. However, foreign money ran a social media campaign which targeted the disaffected population – i.e. doubtful and never voters. And this was enough to tip the balance toward a Leave win.

As a consequence, the establishment found themselves in a bind. Re-running the referendum would have probably resulted in a greater win for Leave. So the first approach was to tie Brexit in knots such that it never happened. The second approach was Boris’s “Get Brexit Done!”. However, this resulted in Turbo EU – i.e. greater immigration; more extreme Net Zero policies; and a landslide majority for Starmer!

Romania’s top court has annulled the results of the first round of the country’s presidential election after security documents said the process must be rerun.
Calin Georgescu was viewed as an outsider in the race and had not declared any campaign spending, but emerged as the frontrunner following the first round on 24th November.
The Constitutional Court’s unprecedented decision came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence documents alleging Russia was behind a campaign to promote far-right candidate Mr Georgescu on platforms such as TikTok and Telegram.

Labour got a majority of 174 seats. As I suggested above, it was all part of an establishment fix. The fix also included the implosion of the SNP and restricting Reform to a handful of seats. The problem for the British establishment is that they couldn’t stop Trump.

This is what I wrote a week after the election:

We have a ruling class. They are all capitalists. They are not always unified. However, they are unified in their desire to control and exploit and otherwise do things that are harmful (or worse) to us – the vast majority people in the world.
They also have goals, agendas that increase their control and wealth that they want to accomplish. A primary control mechanism of the population is the illusion of democracy. For that illusion to be maintained it must appear to have some legitimacy in the eyes of most people. However, ruling class agendas – which of course serve ruling class interests – have a tendency of putting a strain on the credulity that people have in that illusion of democracy, that is, it’s legitimacy.

Let’s go back to the election of 2000 (US). Most people believe (in many ways, rightly) that it was stolen. However, if we see elections as a mechanism of control, then the fact that Democrats didn’t protest the obvious irregularities and outright frauds done by the GOP (like in Florida), then we can see that Bush administration was installed to prosecute a ruling class agenda. (That agenda was spelled out by the neocons, who are not the ruling class but rather cohorts that want to captain the ship owned by the ruling class.) The neocons, however, were deeply unpopular in the population (worldwide actually). This unpopularity began to challenge the legitimacy of the illusion of democracy so crucial for ruling class control. Obama’s role was to return (the perception of) legitimacy to “democracy.” Recall that Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize when he was only a presidential candidate, that is, when he had no actual power to do anything that might end the wars for which the neocons became so unpopular. (Incidentally, there was a sizeable peace movement in the US, from 2003 onward that completely evaporated in 2007, just based on the hopium that Obama represented a meaningful change for the better.) This was about creating an image, or narrative of restoring democratic values. Obama, in office did none of those things; he continued the neocon agenda by less obvious means (like vastly escalating drone warfare) and destroyed another country on the PNAC list – Libya, which had had the highest standard of living in northern Africa.

In my view, that is what happened in the election last week. The agenda the Democrats were installed to advance, its blatant corruption and authoritarianism was putting a dangerous strain on that illusion of democracy, challenging the legitimacy of the control mechanism “democracy.” Trump’s victory is to restore that illusion of democracy, the system’s legitimacy. Trump is no more a threat to the ruling class than Harris would be. The 1400 point gain in the stock market the day after Trump’s victory is a clear demonstration of that.

Postscript:
This process I outline above has happened about every 8 to 12 years (at least in the last 40 years or so). So going back then, we get 8 years of Reaganism followed by 4 years of HW Bush who had a hard on to defeat the “Vietnam Syndrome” (the reluctance of American populace of getting entangled in foreign wars) doing a lot damage to Panama and almost destroying Iraq – all with trumped up justifications.
Americans (who paid attention) were horrified and the system was “returned to normalcy” with Bill Clinton (Iraq, whose infrastructure was destroyed by Bush’s Desert Storm was quietly prevented from rebuilding (e.g. water purification plants) by Clinton’s brutal sanctions killing an estimated 500k Iraqi children, then in his second term destroyed the last genuine socialist country in Europe – Yugoslavia with his RTP (Responsibility to Protect) ideology, while most Americans were focused on the Monica Lewinsky scandal (i.e. its purpose was distraction, the opposite of the movie Wag the Dog).

Then W is installed, rinse, repeat…

This represents over 40 years of life experience, observations which appear obvious to a critical mind unconstrained by liberal or conservative ideology. The ruling class is always pushing the envelope of what the population will tolerate before they lose the illusion of democracy – before the system loses legitimacy for too many people. What I have been describing has led me to what I have felt for some time is axiomatic:The most corrupt party is the party in power.

I would further add that US state apparatus and its media is planning a fake ‘military coup’ or ‘martial law’ farce, much like the fake January 6 comedy show with crisis actors to achieve the one-party fascist system instead of a two-party fascist system in the US (as I discussed in my previous post). Come on guys, Trump is an actor. His trials and transgressions came from a John Grisham novel. All these names and faces from Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels to his latest cabinet picks are just actors being paid to participate, recruits for the nine-yearl-long psyop. Trump was never even shot at. The Pennsylvania shooting was as fake as all the other so-called “mass shootings”

Why has no one investigated the threads involved here with Trump since 2015 except me? I am and have been convinced that Obama never left office on 20 January 2017 and that Trump and Biden are fictional presidents (as were the elections and all presidential elections the US) to conceal the above fact. The objective to this laughable and ongoing Hollywood style psyop is to form a one-party, pro-war coalition, to subordinate even more of the US and global economy to world war. This party, possibly named “Forward”, will probably have as its first representative current covert president Barack Obama and a republican by his side, male or female, possibly a white female or someone like former congressman Jeff Flake (not sure). The clues have been everywhere for many years and has caused me to be virtually banned from the internet except for Off Guardian.

Further, there are still NO RUSSIAN TROOPS in Ukraine, nor are there N. Korean Troops in Russia at the border with Ukraine. There is nothing more that the US and China would desire than to have Russia and the EU weaken each other in war and Russian Troops may invade Ukraine in future. Hamas did not “breach” the apartheid fence and Hezbollah did not bomb Golan Heights on 27 July 2024. I am seriously doubting the stories about US backed jihadists reclaiming Aleppo and I can’t wrap my head around the news about Houthi rebels to know if it is a fake story or not

Donald Trump’s character reflects poorly on United States, Elon Musk says
Nov 4, 2016
Elon Musk does not think the election will have a much of an impact on Tesla, but he does not care for Donald Trump.
“I feel a bit stronger that he is not the right guy,” Musk said in an interview with CNBC on Friday. “He doesn’t seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States.”
Musk said Hillary Clinton’s economic and environmental policies are “the right ones,” but in general Musk does not believe the outcome of the election will have much bearing on Tesla’s business.
Sill, “I don’t think this is the finest moment in our democracy,” Musk said.

Elon Musk to Trump: You quit Paris, so I quit you
June 2, 2017
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has quit two of President Trump’s business advisory councils after the president announced he will pull the U.S. out of the historic Paris climate agreement.
“Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world,” Musk said Thursday on Twitter, shortly after the president announced from the Rose Garden that he would begin the process of leaving the accord.
Musk had vowed to step down from the advisory councils he sits on if the president pulled out of the pact.
“I’ve done all I can to advise directly to POTUS, through others in WH & via councils, that we remain,” he said Wednesday on Twitter.
Musk was one of 18 business leaders serving on Trump’s chief business advisory council, known as the Strategic and Policy Forum. He was also an adviser on the president’s manufacturing jobs initiative, and has met with Trump to talk about infrastructure spending.

The following is a monologue from a 2022 movie called ‘The Triangle of Sadness’
I thought some of the Off G readers might enjoy it.
It was read by Woody Harrelson:

‘My government murdered Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bobby Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy.. My government overthrew good, honest, democratic leaders of the people in Chile, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, and Bolivia. Along with Britain, we carved up the Middle East, creating artificial geographical boundaries and installing puppet dictators.’

‘War itself became our most lucrative industry. Every bomb that’s dropped, somebody makes a million dollars. You don’t have to know where those bombs are exploding. You don’t have to see the grieving mothers and the mangled bodies of their children.’

‘Eugene Debs gave this speech in Canton, Ohio, in 1918: “Throughout history wars have been waged for conquest and plunder… The master class has always declared the wars. The subject class has always fought… They’ve taught you to believe it to be your patriotic duty to go to war and to have yourselves slaughtered at their command… When Wall Street says war, the press says war.”‘

‘And I recall, I was seven years old walking into the kitchen to find my mother crying inconsolably: Martin Luther King had been shot. Two months later, she was crying again: Bobby Kennedy was killed. I couldn’t know then what I know now, that the invisible thread connecting Martin Luther King, the Kennedy brothers, and Malcolm X, was that in each case, my government had their finger on the trigger.’

Ouch!

FINAL REPORT: COVID Select Concludes 2-Year Investigation, Issues 500+ Page Final Report on Lessons Learned and the Path Forward – United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability

“Today, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic concluded its two-year investigation into the COVID-19 pandemic and released a final report titled “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward.” The final report will serve as a road map for Congress, the Executive Branch, and the private sector to prepare for and respond to future pandemics.”

Part of the summary includes this:

OPERATION WARP SPEED: President-elect Trump’s Operation Warp Speed — which encouraged the rapid development and authorization of the COVID-19 vaccine — was highly successful and helped save millions of lives.
COVID-19 VACCINE: Contrary to what was promised, the COVID-19 vaccine did not stop the spread or transmission of the virus.

I haven’t gone thru it much, but there appears to be a lot of damning conclusions about the lockdown, masks, the effect on the economy, the Biden admin (but not Trump), gain of function research, Fauci, the effect on school children, etc., but overall it looks like it says, “the pandemic was real, the response sucked, and we’ll do better next time”.

It also lets Trump off the hook and sets him and his admin up for the next one.

“Operation Warp Speed Was a Great Success and Helped Save Millions of Lives ….

301 B. Then Presidential Candidate Joe Biden and Vice-Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris May Have Contributed to Early Distrust of Operation Warp Speed and COVID-19 Vaccines.”

The author mentions Ivermectin and hysteria surrounding it (and other saviour drugs). Dr Mike Yeadon recently said that it had come to his notice that Ivermectin interferes with fertility and suggested that the fuss made surrounding it was a deliberate false scandal to entice people to try and obtain this drug (Machiavellian tactic).
So I looked into it, and it seems the sterilising and teratogenic side-effect are true, though the “fact checkers” have since come out in force to deny this, of course.

In 1970, about 300 companies controlled over 90% of everything you watch, read or listen to (in the US). By 1980, that number had dropped to 50. By the 2000 it was just 6 media conglomerates that had that control. For some time now those 6 conglomerates are themselves owned by a smaller number of asset management firms (with $Trillions under management). The CIA has been involved since the ’50’s in manipulating public opinion and social movements illegally, but in 2013 Obama gutted the Smith-Mundt Act (which prohibited the CIA domestic activity.) So, now, the CIA can do pretty much anything they want and have no fear of getting caught. So, what was your question again?

Here’s another answer more directed at the Covid fraud by “Allen.”

The Covid Operation is a clear example of how the mafia operates. Complete coercion and only letting the boot off your neck once you comply with “The Deal” which is in this case taking and paying for the injection of their profitable poisons.

Covid™ was never an epidemiological event it is a business model meant to increase the portfolio’s of the super- wealthy.

Public health policy has been hijacked and harnessed to global markets. Instead of serving those at risk of sickness and death, these policies of financialization are constructed to benefit investors.

Manufactured pandemics create new investment products that increase the holdings of billionaires and further concentrate their wealth. Emergency funding from government and public health institutions are created for “COVID” purposes (health emergency du jour) in order to create a financial product that transfers wealth from society to shareholders. Medicine is increasingly that financial product. All of the politicians that are “deciding” these things are spokespeople for these investors.

The pandemic preparedness racketeering schemes will be used to justify the continuation and expansion of the “need” to create financial instruments for the investor class.

There are no new killer virii from Venus. “COVID™” was just a new label for Pneumonia “discovered” via the holy grail RT-qPCR which is not a test- it is a manufacturing process. Pure and unadulterated horseshit.

It was the crime of purposeful medical malpractice (aided by “COVID” total immunity from law) in hospitals and nursing homes where falsely and preordained diagnoses (with phony PCR “results”) of “COVID” patients were subjected to deadly untested, unproven and unapproved medical protocols, brutal isolation and neglect and drug regimes while treatment for underlying pre-existing conditions critical to saving lives was denied.

It was a crime, systematic mass murder and genocide committed on the weak and vulnerable. Euthanasia used by today’s well-dressed fascists.

  1. Israel gets everything they want in pursuing war against their neighbours.
  2. In return Trump has likely negotiated acceptance of major domestic reform
  3. We are already seeing a mainstream move away from the extremes of social engineering and support/acceptance of Trump by globalist groups which previously attacked him relentlessly
  4. Trump will want to leave a legacy. He won’t want to be seen to fail a second time.

If Trump has been waved thru in part to keep the rebellious conservative/right wing on the democracy plantation they will have to get some scraps for the program to be convincing. It seems clear there will be some significant reform.

This is a good time to repost a recent comment, as it’s so apropos:

Here’s the AI response to whether the Mafia can be reformed:

“While it’s technically possible for individuals within the mafia to leave the organization and reform their lives, the very nature of the mafia, with its ingrained code of silence (“omerta”) and violent practices, makes a large-scale “reform” of the mafia as a whole extremely difficult, if not impossible, as it would require a fundamental shift in its culture and structure, often requiring significant external pressure from law enforcement and societal change.” 😁

Governments worldwide are criminal cartels which occasionally partake in internecine battles, however, these scoundrels
ultimately protect each other to maintain the status quo. Under these circumstances nothing can change, especially based on the dubious ballot box.

Anyone who thinks that ‘Trumps Warp-speed’ was a good idea deserves everything they get … You deserve him. However, do empathise with those of us that think that he is Dick-head who stands for anything the mugs will fall for.
And if I could throw-in the fact that he was a sort of ‘favourite’ with Heinz Kissinger. Hmmm, now that should make one think … was he a bum-boy, or just a future ‘Global-leader ‘ prospect … or, perhaps both.

One is the repeated mantra on sites like this, from myself included, that it doesn’t matter who is elected president, that anyone elected president is basically allowed or installed by the powers that be, etc. It seemed to be an almost unanimous opinion, but then came Trump’s lies and cons for a year and a half. I find it somewhat amusing and disappointing to see so many fall for them and to now say “there are signs”, or “wait and see” regarding his next term. I guess all that shit about it doesn’t matter has gone out the window and there’s hope again for electing politicians. Hell no.

The other is what this all really means to most of us, the working class, the bottom 80% or so. What does it mean for getting an education, getting a job, paying taxes, wealth inequality, inflation and the price of food, the national debt, imperialism and wars, globalism and the New World Order, corporatism, democracy, freedom etc., etc. The big, broad things. All I can see is a nothing changing in that regard. A lot of talk, but a lot of it is down the same road to hell, especially from Trump. Anything positive is either contradicted with something, like RFK/Trump and the fake Covid-19, or so small that it won’t make a bit of difference for the big things. That’s called throwing them some crumbs to keep them at bay. Couple that with the world of shit we’re already in and it’s hard to not see it getting worse for most of us. The shit is still going to hit the fan at some point and there’s a good chance it will happen during Trump’s second term. We still need a global people’s revolution against the ultra rich that rule the planet, more than ever because we’re blatantly and readily handing everything over to the billionaires. The president is a billionaire and his new BFF and Associate President is the richest fucking man in the world.

Here’s what I think. I think it would be prudent to build up the ole emergency pantry, plan an escape route, and get some good boots. The next election has already started.

Maybe. I’m not a big proponent of that angle, i.e, the Rothschilds, etc. Bilderberg, Tri Lateral Commission, Club of Rome, Council on Foreign Relations, New World Order, things like that, yes. Those are facts, out in the open. I don’t think there’s a Great Oz behind the curtain, I think there’s a whole bunch of rich MF’ers, particularly of the Jewish persuasion but not alone, that control everything. As the old saying goes, money talks, bullshit walks. Either way, the fight for freedom runs thru them, whoever the fuck they are.

I have enjoyed listening to IMA but I think I’ll pass on this one. I can only imagine how Ryan Christian reacts to this discussion.

Having re-watched endless accounts of victims and their families who were horribly affected by the shots and by the monstrous hospital protocols re covid,(Children’s Health Defense Bus – the Peoples Stories) I am still gobsmacked that anyone who lived through the past 4 years is giving Donald Trump, or anyone in Washington DC, the time of day.

He knew. They knew. And now he’s going to save us all with MAHA.?

If it wasn’t so sickening it would be a laughable.

I’ll give my time and attention to React19 and other organizations coming to the aid of the still injured, and the many to come.

I love Last American Vagabond and Ryan. As a matter of fact I am wearing the TLAV “Question Everything” t shirt as I write this.

I think along the same lines as he does about the uniparty. I did not vote because I will not support a very broken and corrupt system.

I do not have the stomach to watch anything having to do with discussion about the upcoming life- ltering administration. I just can’t. It is pure nonsense to me. It is corrupt to the core.

Trump is as controlled as the rest of them. What is upsetting at best and enraging at its worst is so many Health Freedom advocates jumping for joy at Trump’s win. And Kennedy’s nomination. Good God.

I watched the last IMA video Offg posted and enjoyed it very much. And shared it.

I have plenty of courage, Sophie. What I don’t have, in this particular instance, is interest. Big difference.

But thank you for the suggestion nonetheless.

I voted for him but the Israel cuckoo warmonger rhetoric yesterday was BAD. He hardly ever mentioned Israel at his rallies because he knows that the overwhelming majority of his voters see Israel as just a foreign country and do not “love” Israel. The events of the last year have engendered more antipathy for Israel than sympathy among everyone but the political class, Zionist Christians and Zionist Jews, i.e. less than 10% of America.
Trump is hoping to claim credit for a negotiation but if it goes bad, he’ll finally lose a lot supporters who stuck with him for years.

I have to strongly disagree with you about Trump supporters lacking sympathy for Israel.

First and foremost, Palestinians are in their minds more like the illegal immigrants they despise and fear, so they accept any propaganda Israel can conceive as gospel.

And second, they gravitate toward uber-Zionists like Ben Shapiro, Glenn Beck and Bill Maher. The hard core MAGAits could care less if Palestinians are slaughtered because that’s what they’d like to happen to illegal immigrants.

Minds clouded over with hatred are easy pickings for demagogues like Trump.

Trump can win his argument over Huawei
Christopher Williams
Deputy Business Editor
The Telegraph (UK)
2 June 2019

When our politicians refer to the “special relationship”, in most respects they are fantasising. The transatlantic links between spooks are genuinely special, however, and a foundation of Britain’s security. Only serious matters of trust have threatened the bond. The Americans cut us off, for instance, after it turned out that several senior members of the British intelligence establishment were in fact KGB agents. Repairing the damage caused by Kim Philby et al took years. In comparison with such geopolitical concerns, a delay of even two years to the roll-out of 5G networks as Huawei antennas are replaced with alternatives from Nokia or Ericsson is trivial.

“Huawei antennas are replaced” links to:

No, not at all. That’s optimistic. You’re ignoring the fact of Agenda 2030 which is about CHANGE but not for the better.

This Trump term will see –

widespread removal of basic human rights,
destruction of farming and farmland in the name of combatting climate-change,
huge promotions of fake food and cricket-based protein,
CBDCs and removal of cash,
mass detention centers, initially for illegal immigrants but then for dissidents and “traitors”, herding of rural people into the cities,
creation of 15-minute cities with penalties or fines for venturing out of your zone,
social credit systems,
digital IDs and controlled access to the internet,
rationed access to power,
huge hikes in property taxes forcing working people to sell and become renters or “shared owners”.

and maybe much more. If we are still living in the same world as this one by the end of Trump’s term, bad as it is right now we can count it a victory.

Most of your predictions are already in the works. But I don’t think 15-minute cities will ever see daylight in the US. Because America, over the years, has shifted much if not most work outside cities and towns – particularly to these God-awful Industrial Parks scattered, as in the Baltimore area, “outside the Beltway” (i.e., the Interstates surrounding major cities).

Unless, of course, work itself is sent packing, in which case Amazon will go belly up or else turn into a Robots Only Need Apply workforce.

The 15 minute city is a part misconception.

Perhaps, further down the line everyone will herded into pack ‘n’ stack cities but in the interim restrictions on travel will be implemented in surburbs, towns and villages. Clearly, there is no room to herd everyone into large cities at the moment.

Low traffic neighbourhoods and pedestrianised zones are being established especially in Western countries and not just in cities. If you don’t believe me, take a trip to your local council offices and look at the proposed future town planning.

Once private transport ie the car is restricted or its ownership banned outright then you are effectively limited in your travel options. Public transport such as buses, trains, ships and planes will be controlled and their usage limited.

Hey presto, you are now living in a 15/20 minute neighbourhood by default, unless you fancy walking or cycling long distances.
