“I know all about flipping, for 30, 40 years I’ve been watching flippers,” Trump told Ainsley Earhardt in 2018. “I have seen it many times. I have had many friends involved in this stuff. It’s called flipping, and it almost ought to be illegal.”
In insult, autobiography. Whenever you insult someone you’re making clear what your fears about yourself really are. You’re giving the game away.
This raises a larger question: Is Trump a flipper?
Is he a servant of the deep state itself, turning mob cash into housing whilst taking a vig? Hmmm….
I think the evidence shows rather clearly that Trump was a Fed.
Let’s ponder his genealogy first and foremost.
Consider that Donald Trump’s father, Fred, and even Trump’s grandfather had ties to Germany longer than most Americans keep ties to the Old Country. That infamous Trump family whorehouse and all that smacks of an op to both weaken the United States and Canada and make a few bucks. So too does the Deutsche Bank money washing around Trump’s properties.
(Perhaps a reason Peter Thiel backed Donald Trump is that he, too, had Deutsche Bank backing in his early PayPal days. Remember spies doing crimes in America are patriots in their home country.)
What was the deal with Fred Trump anyway? Fred made money off military housing and he had Fed contacts from his very early days.
When I was interviewing mobsters around a misguided (and short lived) effort to defeat Trump in 2016, a number of the old Italian types referred to Fred as “Fred the Fed”. Indeed they were positively frightened by him even long after he was dead.
Donald Trump made his move from Queens to Brooklyn to Manhattan, which was then Gambino territory. And he did so with the help of an FBI informant and FBI agent.
The Washington Post recounted those ties in 2016.
Donald Trump listened skeptically as his labor consultant bragged in early 1981 about connections to New York’s underworld.
Daniel Sullivan, who dealt with labor problems at Trump’s construction sites, was a 42-year-old giant of a man with great charm and a criminal record. He told Trump he was tight not only with leaders of unions, some of them fronts for the mob, but also with the FBI.
Trump was dubious.
“He was . . . a big storyteller,” Trump recently told The Washington Post. “He portrayed himself to be the closest person on earth to the FBI.”
It turned out Sullivan was telling the truth. One day in April 1981, he walked into Trump’s Manhattan office with two men in suits. They were FBI agents, and they wanted to talk to Trump about organized crime.
Trump welcomed them in.
That meeting came at a pivotal time early in Trump’s career, when he was trying to establish himself as a Manhattan developer and Atlantic City casino operator.
Trump soon deepened his interactions with Sullivan, who turned out to be an FBI informant, and cultivated a friendship with one of the FBI agents, a young investigator named Walt Stowe, who was one of Sullivan’s handlers at the agency.
Over the next few years, Trump, Sullivan and Stowe forged a triangle of mutually beneficial interests as Trump sought to grow a casino and real estate empire.
Trump’s stiffening of mobbed up contractors takes on a whole different view, doesn’t it? What were they going to do? Sue him?
Trump’s move into New York coincided with the Russian Jewish mafia and then the Chinese triads moving in on the old Italian and Jewish territory. With the backing, implicit or explicit, of the Russian and Chinese state, the local mobsters didn’t stand a chance. They needed someone with a certain je ne sais quoi to push back on the torrent of cash pouring in from the Soviet Union and the overseas Chinese. Both the government and the local mob needed Trump.
Trump’s alliance with Roy Cohn should be seen in this context. Cohn seems to have helped the family Trump deal with being targeted by the federal government over a housing matter during the corrupt Nixon years. Who is fixing what for whom? Were Cohn and Nixon shaking down the Trumps? Who knows?
Now it’s pretty well established now that Senator Joseph McCarthy was gay and likely blackmailed. You can watch this masterly discussion of this very thing between Gore Vidal and Roy Cohn himself in 1977.
(Was Trump also blackmailed for his womanizing? It was, after all, the 1980s.
The film Where’s My Roy Cohn? makes a convincing case that Cohn was part of that Russian-Jewish replacement of the Italian and Irish mobs of New York. Could well be.
Trump’s decision not to attend Roy Cohn’s funeral was painted by many as Trump being hateful to the gays or phobic about HIV/AIDS. Perhaps. But just as likely, Trump may well have thought Cohn outlived his usefulness and didn’t want to attend a mob funeral. (He seems to have been just as ambivalent about the mob wedding of his daughter to Israeli-connected mob boss Charles Kushner’s son, Jared. That is, if Vicky Ward’s book, Kushner Inc. is to be believed.)
Trump, for his part, married a Czech woman who seems pretty obviously to be StB, or at least daughter thereof — thus guaranteeing Fed surveillance for the rest of his life, something he absolutely would have known. Trump later goes messing about with the Soviets and then the Russians. Trump was doing all manner of things, like brokering peace agreements.
Ivana Trump’s suspicious fall and death seems quite interesting now, doesn’t it? Almost like someone was sending him message. But who and why?
Here’s a suggestion: A Finnish business associate whose father was in Finnish intelligence once told my American business partner that his dad had a study in Finland where, if he ever saw anyone in that room, not to trust that person. Sure enough Donald Trump was there.
But Donald Trump is there all the time, with so many foreigners that it’s hard to keep count. Coincidentally he has dalliances with damn near every interesting foreign nation. Saudis want to rent a floor of his power? No problem! Russians want to launder money in his Atlantic City casino? Why not? He buys Adnan Khashoggi’s arms-running yacht? Yeah, let’s do it. And yet, Trump’s never given so much as a fine. Why is that?
Later Trump moves into the very mobbed up world of reality TV, itself a product of the writers strike and the de-unionization that’s afflicted the US economy and rendered so many into little more than serfs. Media became Trump’s main squeeze (with meat and booze trafficking as a side) just as social media becomes the primary vector for foreign intelligence to make strategic moves, physchologically profiling being the main issue. When any of these ventures outlive their usefulness Trump closes up shop. He curiously never gets audited though quite a few of his business partners end up in serious trouble. The reason he doesn’t want us to see his taxes (or the taxes of his family, more precisely) is because he doesn’t want it revealed that he’s a Fed.
Once Obama sheds Clinton’s people and Biden and Obama can actually position America, all the hostiles freak out and use whatever they have a level with, including Trump, who curiously started to use Twitter for birtherism in 2011 — right as the Israelis grew concerned that Obama wanted a rapprochement with Iran.
Recall that my view is that Obama’s birth certificate — a version of which was conveniently revealed the same week that Seal Team 6 killed bin Laden — was a forgery and used to blackmail Obama, whose carefully constructed narrative and two autobiographies, make you wonder. If Obama was fake, might his program have been fake too? I leave that to the reader to judge. Note how the septuagenarian Joe Biden seems to get a lot more done than the young Mr. Obama. I wonder why. Even Obama’s “accomplishments” seem to reward Wall Street (TARP) or the medical insurance lobby (ACA) — hardly the crazy leftist he was presented as.
Many of the Netanyahu connected operatives I knew and know are convinced that Obama’s real father is Frank Marshall Davis. One even did a film called Dreams From My Real Father. Get it? That Obama sent his daughter — Malia — to work for Chisraeli operative, Harvey Weinstein, makes me wonder what’s really going on there. Did Weinstein get her DNA? Did others?
Consider further that Obama’s famous friend — Harvard professor Skip Gates Jr. — with whom he had a beer summit, is famous for genetically sequencing the famous. Why hasn’t Obama traced his roots using genetics? Could it be because he found it politically inconvenient? To ask that question is to answer it. Small wonder then that
Obama’s weakness is vanity. Biden’s weakness is his family and his age. But whereas the foreign intelligence operations now target Hunter Biden for destruction, so too did the try to destroy Obama’s fake life.
The American press corps covered for Obama. They tolerated his obvious lies, lies like that his stepfather had died fighting the Dutch when he had, in fact, died of heart attack whilst hanging the drapes. Even Obama fan boys acknowledge the difference between Brand Obama and the real Obama.
My view on blackmail has long been just to get it all out. This is America and we forgive one another. And that is precisely what has happened with dear Hunter Biden, whom we have long suspected of being a federal informant. You don’t do that much blow or screw that many whores without Uncle Sam footing at least some of the bill.
Trump is recruited to work for the GOP in what was supposed to be a giant social media profiling experiment where Clinton is more-or-less the guaranteed winner.
But then Trump is suddenly elected. (I was there election night and Trump looked less than enthused.) And now all the various hostile powers want to be the main guy who controls him. Heck, the Likudniks have his son-in-law and his whole family. The Chinese and Russians made their moves—all the while the media only talks about Putin. Our local bad guys were caught in the riptide as they so often are.
January 6 was the last grasp, the lunge at the Capitol with a sharpened STOP THE STEAL signs. No longer content to stand athwart history yelling stop as the feckless Buckleyites, some apparently decided to be its ill-fated authors… and fell right into the Fedsurrection and the pen.
You might wonder then if Donald Trump’s reluctance to do anything on January 6th was itself part of that Fedsurrection. Maybe he was waiting for it all to play out. Or maybe he was waiting for everyone to fall into the fed trap.
What does Trump really believe about January 6th? Nobody knows but him. Is he wrong to be upset with a disputed election? Sure he is. But what has he done other than complain about it? And what’s more American than complaining?
Of course stealing elections is as American as apple pie and fireworks on the Fourth of July. We steal elections in other countries — indeed my family has worked on just that — and we probably steal elections in our own country. Who really won the election of 1960? Or 2000? Or 2004? But elections do not a nation make any more than protests do. They are but a moment in time and moments pass.
(My critique of Mencius Moldbug — a curiously Chinese-Israeli name, by the way — isn’t that he’s wrong, per se. It’s that we already live with a king where every American is a king. We have a monarchy already. We just call it the intelligence community.)
In any event, January 6 totally flops. But not before every single local scumbag at the state level stood up to be counted and catalogued. Every nation has among it some cranks and it’s important to separate the cranks from the crooks and those taken away in the moment and those planning every bit of it.
To call January 6th a coup is an insult to the good work of the real coup plotters… CIA or the FSB or the Mossad. But it was something, wasn’t it?
I fear it was a dry run. Testing, testing, testing our limits. How we might respond, what mistakes we might make.
Ultimately the real prosecutions will take place against those who delighted in the mob, who shaped it over many year, than in Trump himself. There’ll be some patsies, to be sure, like the Claremont Institute’s John Eastman but on it goes.
We will turn, in a moment, to the man who made January 6th possible. We are awaiting his memoirs with rapt attention, pen in hand. We suspect it’ll be a doozy.
I am referring, of course, to President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner — the man who was the real president during Trump’s presidency and who, up to the moment Trump left the White House, was working to pardon foreign spies.
The Trump post presidency is where everyone’s hand is revealed.
Who will be Trump’s heirs?
Interesting thoughts as per usual.
You may think Astrology is BS, Charles. But the fact that he was indicted and arraigned during a day long void of course Moon periods basically guarantees that nothing will come of this.
