How Trump tariffs, China policy, and EPA attacks are related
Fewer imports mean the re-industrialization of the US
Given the 24/7 deluge of information, some factual some not, it is often difficult to sort through the objectives of the financiers as they are implemented via the political puppets serving as their mouthpieces.
Putting aside the all-out war being threatened by “the Biden administration” behind the facade of NATO and Ukraine, let’s look at the President-elect’s projected strategy regarding tariffs, belligerency toward China, and the expected gutting of EPA regulations to aid in a corporate scorched earth US re-industrialzation campaign.
What this tells us is that the financiers are pulling out all the stops to slow the growth of China’s economic and military power in an attempt to prevent their replacement at the top of the global power structure. In reality, while this may slow China’s rise to the top, in the long run it is nothing more than a vainglorious fool’s errand that will punish those living under its regime in the US, UK, and EU more than it will hurt the Chinese.
Because of the high-cost of US labor relative to the second- and third-world, in order for manufacturing to be successfully transplanted from China and other offshore labor markets back to the US, tariffs are necessary to enable domestic products to compete with imports. This means inflation in the US as prices rise and labor seeks wage increases for the purchasing power to survive without being further enchained by debt slavery.
It also means that there must be incentives for multinational corporations to invest in new, US-based factories; thus, the gutting of EPA regulations on the horizon with Trump’s cabinet pick.
There was a time when industrialization meant more jobs and perhaps increased power of unions, but given the automation technology and artificial intelligence (AI) software now available, this is no longer the case.
This begs the question of what should be done as the job market shrinks (pay no attention to the fake economic statistics generated by the Labor Department under both the red and blue parties). In an enlightened society where the central bank is publicly owned and serves as a utility, universal basic income (UBI) would replace the need for menial and repetitive labor, but under the current privately owned Fed there are no expectations for such a humane policy; rather, one of the financiers’ objectives—“reducing the surplus population”—justifies bankrupting labor, leading to homelessness, starvation, and, in many cases, death.
So, once again, we see the necessity of nationalizing the Federal Reserve System in order to change the power structure and get on with the business of human evolution.

'Bomb Cyclone' Set To Explode off US West Coast
A powerful bomb cyclone fueled by a Category 5 atmospheric river is expected to explode across the West Coast of the U.S. this week, threatening to unleash hurricane-force winds, catastrophic flooding, and massive snowfall in the mountains.
Like the new names for manufactured cloud formations, the power-that-be have come up with newly minted superlatives to match their ability to intensify storms.

Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations
President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.
Is this really about immigration, or is it about putting the US into a state of emergency to justify using the military to abrogate US citizens’ right to protest odious policies?
The great ones, who were willing to give their lives for real freedom, would certainly be appalled at what the banks and corporations and their lackeys have done to their democratic republic.
"I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in it's [sic] birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws our country." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Logan, Nov. 12th, 1816, http://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/jefferson-the-works-vol-12-correspondence-and-papers-1816-1826
“I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.” —Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President (1801–1809) in a letter written to John Taylor on May 28, 1816
“A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks.” – John C. Calhoun, Vice President (1825-1832) and U.S. Senator, in a speech given on May 27, 1836
“Corporations have been enthroned. An era of corruption in high places will follow, until wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.” --Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864, in a letter to Col. William F. Elkins, Abraham Lincoln: A New Portrait, (Vol. 2) by Emanuel Hertz (New York: Horace Liveright Inc, 1931, p. 954.
"Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce ... And when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate." —-James Garfield
“This is a government of the people, by the people and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.” --Rutherford B. Hayes
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people." --Theodore Roosevelt, Platform of the Progressive Party, “Declaration of Principles,” August 7, 1912 and “Theodore Roosevelt, An Autobiography,” 1913 (Appendix B)
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." --Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom : A Call For the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People, Section I: "The Old Order Changeth," p. 13
“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” --Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in a letter to Colonel Edward M. House dated November 21, 1933, as quoted in “F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945.”
