Politics
I have written in the past that there were signs of the global elite dumping Obama much like Jimmy Carter was dumped in 1979 after a single Presidential term. In spite of that and in light of O’s strong electoral vote showing, it seemed like he would sail to victory on November 6, with ease.
It’s time to revisit the first scenario again. After a lopsided Presidential debate against Romney, it appeared that the establishment pulled the rug out from under Obama, and then threw him under the bus. Several prominent Democrats have turned against him. Some of the liberal media are criticizing him.
Nevertheless, as of today, Huffington Post electoral tracking shows Obama ahead with 263 electoral votes, compared to Romney’s 206. The winner must capture at least 270 electoral votes. Electoral-Vote.com shows Obama with 317 and Romney with 206. Either way, Obama is still ahead with a considerable margin.
There are more debates ahead, but don’t expect Obama and Biden to make the same mistakes again. They may make different mistakes, but they are far from being overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, take note of some of the Trilateral Commission gadflies in and around the Romney campaign:

As has been the case since the election of Jimmy Carter in 1976, the Trilateral Commission has dominated both the Republican and Democrat parties and their subsequent Administrations. (See The Trilateral Commission: Usurping Sovereignty).
Economy
The IMF is not to be viewed as a friend to humanity. It is a global elite sumo wrestler that operates a tag team with the World Bank and the Bank for International Settlements, in order to promote the policies of globalization.
Interestingly, the IMF has issued two pointedly bearish reports in the last few days. The first, World Economic Outlook, was reported in The Telegraph (UK), IMF sees ‘alarmingly high’ risk of fresh global slump:
“The International Monetary Fund has slashed its growth forecast for large parts of the world economy and warned of a full-blown global slump if policymakers in Europe or the US mishandle serious threats
The report states that “risks for recession in the advanced economies are alarmingly high” and that “the intensity of the euro area crisis has not abated as assumed in previous projections.”
The second IMF statement of gloom (Global Financial Stability Report) was scooped by Bloomberg, IMF Sees European Banks Facing $4.5 Trillion Sell-Off.
“The International Monetary Fund said European banks may need to sell as much as $4.5 trillion in assets through 2013 if policy makers fall short of pledges to stem the fiscal crisis, up 18 percent from its April estimate. Failure to implement fiscal tightening or set up a single supervisory system in the timing agreed could force 58 European Union banks from UniCredit SpA (UCG) to Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) to shrink assets.
Shrinking assets by a more proper name is deflation, but bankers understand that the public reacts very negatively toward the use of such a word. Inflation is a split partnership of debauchery where banks get rich while investors who play the debt game get rich also. With deflation, which cannot be regulated with Fed policy tools, the downward spiral takes back everything and more. All those who live on or in the debt tower, get crushed in the end. The Fed’s response to this is to replace bank liquidity lost to deflation, with freshly created money. This keeps the banks afloat while everyone else gets crushed… but the Fed can’t keep this game up indefinitely, and I strongly suspect that they know this. As governments, municipalities, corporations and individuals continue to de-leverage, the spiral is virtually guaranteed to take the central banks and their bankster members, into the same crushing machine.
Another interesting view of the global economic slowdown is seen in the Export Trends for Top FedEx Markets below.
Growth in all markets has slowed since January 2010 and four out of nine markets are currently experiencing outright contraction.

Don’t forget to mention Glen Hubbard one of Bush’s economic advisor in TARP scandal.
Until the rest of the world recognizes the US consumers pockets ae not endless –that fewer people with disposable income;lessof those that do; and the poor who always are poor consumers, the slide of 2007 is one continuous slide. It will not end until the wealthy realize they must share the cake with others –globally. We US voters need not feel specially shafted. It is a global problem>

Is it possible to tie the Trilateral Commission to the Order of the Garter?
I believe that the Tri Lat’s (Repub’s) represent the multinational Corp’s while the Dem’s/Socialists/Liberals/Communists represent the masses which are asses (useful idiots) lemmings to the sea behind the pied piper. I guess I would have to take my chances with the Tri Lat’s. What do you think??/
I think it doesn’t matter who or what each party represents — because both parties ultimately at the top are representing the same interests and objective. Globalism. They might have some disagreements about how the future is going to look and be run — but they both agree that it needs to happen on the ashes of Western Civilization and the corpse of Judeo-Christian culture.
Let’s face it, until the masses can agree on what this country was founded on, things will not change. As long as we have a government that hands out just about everything to the undeserving (Obama Phones, 2 years of unemployment e.t.c.) nothing will get better, only worse because those that are not legal will continue to drag down our system. Both parties have been responsible for this erosion over the many years. It all boils down to Power by who.….
