Trump - Assassination Target?

JFK identified the plotters as the "international financial community"
-- The Gnomes of Switzerland

3 Impossible shots in 6 seconds, with 5 rounds
at intervals of 10 seconds


More than 50 years ago, this guy challenged The Establishment's plan for a New World Order, and The Establishment created a carefully constructed assassination by "a deranged assassin" and killed him.   



Lee Harvey Oswald, a US Marine recruited by Naval Intelligence as a penetration agent to infiltrate KGB operations in the US, was the patsy, and, the FBI investigation of him as the "suspect" was so immediate and complete that he was found and arrested on the other side of Dallas within minutes of the assassination.

Clumsy pre-PhotoShop cut&paste job
Expert snipers still marvel at Oswald's ability [having barely qualified as a "bolo" marksman in the Marines], was able to fire off multiple rounds in six seconds with a bolt-action, scope-mounted, clip-fed, World War II rifle, which was known for its poor functioning from a terribly awkward position in a sixth floor recessed window at the Book Depository.

That aside, it was interesting that there were only three shell casings in the area from which Oswald supposedly fired, but a total of five bullets calculated for the number of wounds inflicted in JFK and Governor Connelly -- from different directions.

Oddly, during the assassination, Governor Connelly [who was reportedly aware of the plot to kill JFK, but not that he was to be a target] took a round from the Magic Bullet, and cried out "My God, they’re going to kill us all" an unusual response to seeing the President shot.

Connelly estimated the time span between the first and second shots was 10-12 seconds -- a bit more than the official report of only 6 seconds. Mrs Connelly commented that the first shot came from the right of the limo -- not from behind.

Astonishingly, full details of the assassination and the assassin's biography appeared in the Australian news -- before the event [the international news release had been scheduled without consideration of the International Date Line].

RFK shot 3 times at point blank range.
Another Secret Service failure
Somewhat later [5 June 1968], when Bobby Kennedy [Jack's brother] stepped up to challenge Lyndon Baines Johnson [LBJ] JFK's Vice President and his successor, and the Establishment created a loosely constructed assassination plot by another "deranged assassin" and killed him.

Sirhan Sirhan, a "crazed" Muslim [actually, a Palestinian Christian], under psychiatric treatment, just happened to be armed and ready to shoot Bobby Kennedy in the kitchen of the hotel -- an undisclosed exit route for RFK following his speech at the Ambassador Hotel.

Interestingly, Sirhan was able fire off nine rounds from his eight-round revolver, killing RFK and wounding several others.  Sirhan's confession was a bit bizarre as he later stated that he did not recall having made it; nonetheless, the trashman who supported Sirhan's apartment building testified that Sirhan had confided to him his intention to assassinate RFK [an interesting relationship].

The Black Agent may have been the shooter
A little over a decade later [1980], another wild card Presidential Candidate stepped up and displaced The Establishment candidate, GHW Bush, and the Establishment created a carefully constructed assassination plot by another "deranged assassin"[John W Hinckley, Jr], who, with the help of the sloppy security provided by the Secret Service, almost succeeded in killing Reagan on 30 March 1981, just three months after his Inauguration.

The assassin, a young man, under psychiatric treatment, from a good family [and friends of the Bush family], was armed with a pistol loaded with six armor piercing rounds [post-event records show he had "purchased weapons"] -- managed to fire off seven rounds, one, at close range leaving powder burns under Reagan's bullet-proof vest [contradicting the official version of a ricochet bouncing off the limo's door].

Oddly, the Secret Service forced President Reagan to exit the front door of the hotel, and walk in the open to the street, past several pedestrians unchallenged by security.

As luck would have it, the limo driver ignored orders to take Reagan first back to the White House, and then to a distant hospital [a delayed route ensuring his death], but instead drove directly to the George Washington University [GWU] hospital a few blocks away where the ER doctors were waiting and ready -- and saved Reagan's life.

There's the pattern folks. 
We trust Trump's personal security is tight and effective since the Establishment [RepubliCrats] are likely plotting and scheming on their next carefully constructed assassination by a "deranged assassin" under psychiatric treatment -- similar to the deranged shooters responsible for the mass shootings in Aurora, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, San Bernardino, Roseburg [OR], Charleston, and of course, Fort Hood.

President Trump's Credentials

The guy who has actually accomplished stuff!

We've listened to the other candidates -- particularly Cruz and Rubio, pontificate about all of Trump's faults as a smoke screen for their own deficiencies. They bray that Trump is crude, and unpolished, and golly, not Politically Correct!  


Trump draws a small crowd in Phoenix
But, Trump's remarks seem to mirror the feelings of what appears to be a majority of average Americans. 

He plays hardball and addresses issues directly. Some of his solutions are questionable, but, once in the Oval Office, we suspect he will, as he has done with his business enterprises, select the most qualified professionals for his Cabinet and Advisory Staff.

Now, Trump does have a fairly impressive resume and, notably, Trump is far more accomplished than his detractors give him credit. Keep in mind that he's dealt with governments all over the world in his hotel and office building construction -- ranging from developing countries to First World. Here's a sampling: 


Trump Tower in Panama City, PN
Panama City,
Rio de Janeiro,
Istanbul, 
Toronto,
Vancouver, 
and,
the countries of Ireland, Azerbaijan, India, Uruguay, the Philippines, and South Korea.

In addition to dealing with governments [corrupt and otherwise], he's also had to negotiate with labor unions and opposition parties, and in some cases, with adversarial elements with potential violent tendencies. In all these cases, he's succeeded, and made few enemies; but, in the big picture [he's a big picture kind of guy] he's increased employment and raised the standards of living for tens of thousands of folks, both his employees and all the small and large companies which support his complexes.

There are those with no P&L [Profit & Loss] business experience who view Mr Trump's business dealings as not honorable since he schmoozes with corrupt and dishonorable politicians in order to get his buildings constructed. In cities like NYC, antagonizing the mayor will result in difficulty getting a building permit -- which is Trump's livelihood. 

Operating in foreign countries often means you have to ignore nasty practices of the local political leaders in order to have your business succeed. As we've noted in each of the [6-hour] business management courses we taught at the University of Maryland, "The Business of Business is Business" -- i.e., make a profit; once that business is viable and profitable, only then can it branch out into beneficial issues to the community. Business can only be benevolent if it is profitable -- but not if it fails. 

Every US President has had to wheel and deal to get his programs endorsed by resistant pols on Capitol Hill. Even George Washington, that paragon of virtue, "did some horse-trading" to get Congress to award him a good portion of what is now Washington DC -- which he then sold back to entrepreneurs or converted into highly profitable enterprises from agriculture to brewing whiskey -- Gawd Forbid! he owned slaves! Teddy Roosevelt was pure as the driven snow, and more strident, but even he had to schmooze once in a while. 


Abe would've kicked ass in the UFC
Lincoln was a pugilist as well as a bare-knuckled lawyer who was elected solely because it was a four-horse race, and the division of electoral votes gave him a squeeky win; his interest in abolition was cursory at best, but he knew how to wheel and deal. 

Reagan won by appealing to Mainstream America and had a gift for persuasion, but, he too was a horse trader and won over Congress to his views. 

It's how you get things done in the White House -- at least it until this Administration, which instead, uses intimidation via 3:00 am house calls by Chicago thugs to his opposition. 

It's been a lesson for us in that there are people who are adamant about their candidate [in this case Cruz and Rubio] who believe that impeccable moral standards should be the only criteria for selection for office.  
[Cruz has since established that he has no morals, and thus eliminated himself from the Presidential race.]

That would be wonderful if all politicians were moral and honest, but, that would be an oxymoron. We've been in Washington for 50+ years, as well as in 55 countries all over the world, and we've never met a senior politician [in any country] who has not sold out along the way; so, if we send in a moralist [like Jimmy Carter or Cruz] to the White House, how long before the McConnells, the Boehners, the Pelosis, the Reids, the Putins, etc., rip him to shreds.

It seems that not everyone in the universe maintains the same moral standards, so it's necessary to recognize this to prevent exploitation -- or destruction. 

Qadafi: Best US Intel Asset on Terrorism
We are not a Trump-bot; we ARE dyed-in-the-wool pragmatists and recognized such diplomatic gaffes as the unseating and execution of Saddam [at one time, our closest MidEast ally] and Qadafi [the most valuable intelligence resource we had on terrorism] as a poorly executed regime-change which led to chaos both locally and regionally 

[Iraq and Libya are now "failed states", and Libya no longer is the barrier to the flood of African emigrants who are flooding southern Europe; worse, the arms from Libya's military warehouses are now in the hands of a broad range of terrorists.]

We pick the candidate best suited to do the job -- based on our knowledge and experience. 

To recap our experience in worldly issues:
We understand US and international politics based on our decades of hands-on experience working behind the scenes in the US and foreign governments analyzing and assessing the big regional and global situation -- from grass-roots politics to insurgencies to terrorism. 

We've worked directly with, and advised two Secretaries of State, a Director of Central Intelligence, Reagan's Ambassador at Large; we've written White Papers on political and economic stability in developing nations for the National Security Council, authored drafts of NIEs [National Intelligence Estimates], and helped create and direct the operations of a a highly acclaimed global intelligence program.


In the private sector, we've created and managed the international operations of a highly profitable private company, and later created and managed an IT company which assessed and analyzed the Terrorist Threat. 


So, we're a realist and pragmatic when we support a candidate; we don't concern ourselves over whether the candidate lusted after a good looking gal, or made inappropriate remarks; we view him in the context of whether he can actually do the job and go nose-to-nose with guys like Putin. LBJ was easily the most abhorrent and amoral President we've had in two centuries, and we despised him; but he got things done, and he held off all foreign adversaries, with the exception of only one -- which blackmailed him for his role in a poorly conceived Executive Action. 

Cruz and Rubio are wonderful, sweet, moral, and solid Christians. We doubt, however, they'd be able to convert Putin though. 

Gorby, we'll make it worth your while 
to dump the USSR
Trump, on the other hand, knows how to deal with the Putins of the world, and has been doing so for decades.


Just as Reagan negotiated with Gorbachov to dismantle the Soviet Union, Trump will likely be a formidable negotiator with the likes of Putin and other heads of state. 

Trump gets results.
