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.

Looks all to me as SSDD, same shit, different day. Almost all of the people he’s picking for positions are establishment types, one way or another. Zionists, warmongers, billionaires, banksters, fake ass doubletalking, side changing politicians, sycophants, chameleons, sociopaths, what’s not to like. And then there’s the fact that this despicable piece of shit should be in prison for spearheading one of the biggest scams in history. Never forget, never forgive.

I was thinking a bit about this and a couple things come up. 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.

I doubt that any of these leading “actors” called presidents or prime-administrators get to propose anything.
Their role is to “sell” the current agenda and/or narrative presented to them by their handlers in the permanent military industrial state.

“possible openings for positive change”???

Oh, Joe, say it isn’t so!

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.

Hmm.

I see a challenge to globalism coming from Trump but not altruistically.

BRICS and EU offer globalism on the Davos model whereas Trumps vision will be Americanism.

Similar to globalisation but with US as the “stakeholder”

May you live in interesting times.

You mean Trump, the billionaire, “father of the vaxx”, who didn’t jail Hillary and didn’t drain the swamp, who parties with the Bush fam and the Rockerfellers?

That Trump?

You think that Trump is anti-establishment because he’s made some anti-establishment promises, just like he did in 2016 and then failed to keep any of them?

You think he really means it this time do you?

With “Russiagate” or Covid19 as massive spokes in his wheels during his first presidency? Or the shit pored over him afterwards? Only if his assassination would have been succeeded he would have been praised here post mortem. Jail wouldn’t have done it.

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.

This “Anti-Establishment” 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:

Deep State In Meltdown Mode As Trump’s Transition Team Makes Bold Moves
Without the heavy “Zionist” bias.

Non Anglos are not drenched in the Zionist blame game because they are not Anglos. Blame others for your own clan’s faults.
Eyes closed for the millions of square miles Anglos have colonized compared to the few hundred the J*ws did for starters. Never heard of any Anglo Holocaust, only Hollow Hollywood Cast

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.
