European Council President: Trump threat to Europe
Arutz Sheva ^ | 1/31/17 | Gary Willig

Posted on 01/31/2017 11:41:40 AM PST by Lera

European Council President Donald Tusk called US President Donald Trump an 'existential threat' to Europe Tuesday.

Tusk wrote an open letter to the leaders of 27 Council member states, in which he listed the US President as a "threat" to the European Union alongside China, Russia, radical Islam, war, and terrorism.

Tusk cited "worrying declarations by the new American administration" as the basis for his including President Trump with other threats to the EU. He said that the threats "make our future highly unpredictable.”

I doubt most Poles agree with Mr. Tusk.

Not with KGB Putin next door threatening to restore the Soviet Union.

President Trump is a threat to Soros and others who are behind the New World Order. President Trump is a threat to our Shadow government which is part of that NWO.

The only “threat” Trump poses to the future of Europe is his closing the Great American Checkbook and telling Europeans the party on the dime of American taxpayers is over and it’s time for them to pick up their own tab from now on.

Bingo!

The EU is much more than just kleptocracy. The EU is economic might. In difference to the US we Europeans are able produce goods that are bought on the world markets. Just ask the Chinese if they prefer a Cadillac for a Mercedes. Of course it will be regrettable if the US markets break away for Europe. Nevertheless we Europeans are strong enough to find other markets. It will cost us some money but we will survive it. If Europe is searching for new markets and friends it will have some impact on the US. This is a dangerous game for you Americans.

I would love to see him pull our troops out of Europe and put them on our southern border . Let the Euro weenies defend themselves for a change . We’ll see how long they have the “free health care” they always rub in our faces when they have to pay for their own defense.

Not even close.

Y’all in Europe just can’t admit to yourselves how much of your economy is floated by directly parasiting off the US, and indirectly subsidized by US favors.

I think Canadian socialism is also built on this same foundation.

The only thing Europeans can produce that American’s can’t is truffles. We can live without the pig dug shroons.

BTW Mercedes is about the last car I would buy , they are not that hot . My American made pick up truck has over 300,000 miles on it and still looks and runs great . The guy that bought my last American made pick up truck is still driving it and it has over 450,000 miles on it .. most of us aren’t stuffed shirts that care about German cars.

Let your new friends protect you.

Most Poles are worried about Russia.
(BTW Russia’s army is 40% muslim so either way the Poles have a muslim problem to deal with )

Would love to see Donald call their bluff. Ask them if they are willing to leave NATO, and let the US remove all its forces from their countries. See how fun it will be for them when they become Russia’s bitch.

Don't get Trump wrong on Putin. The Trump-Pence admin will be tough on expansionist Russia, unlike Obama-Hillary who gave away the store to the Russians on such critical things as missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin loves so much. In addition, under Obama-Hillary, the Russians ended up with 20% or more of our uranium production!

Russia can then play with their natural gas supply and put them in the dark from time to time. Won’t they love that.

Who’s in Putin’s Pocket — Clinton or Trump? (Clinton Uranium RussiaGate scandal)

The New American ^ | August 3, 2016 | William F. Jasper

"according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control."

(snip)

"But wait — the Uranium One deal, as important and stunningly corrupt as it may be, is only the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

As we have been reporting here for years, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been one of Putin’s biggest enablers, facilitating enormous transfers of advanced technology to the Russian regime she now sees as a threat.

It was Secretary Clinton, please recall, who, in May 2009, presented Putin’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a red “reset” button, and then mugged with Lavrov in a giggly photo-fest celebrating the U.S.-Russian “convergence” agenda.

Clinton and Lavrov then served as joint coordinators of the U.S.-Russian Bilateral Presidential Commission established in July of that year by President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The annual reports of the Bilateral Presidential Commission are replete with chummy photos of Clinton-Lavrov, Obama-Medvedev, Biden-Putin, etc., as well as details of the many deals worked out to give technology, knowhow, capital, and other resources to Moscow. ..."

RUSSIAGATE

Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission & $500,000 speaking fee (US uranium to Russia)

qura.com ^ | July 27, 2016 | Sierra Spaulding

Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia?

You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.

Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."

John Podesta’s Payoff for Helping Hillary Give American Military Technology to Russia’s Putin

Written by Bob Adelmann
Monday, 17 October, 2016

As part of just-inaugurated President Obama’s new foreign policy to improve relations between the United States and Russia, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in March 2009. Meeting in her hotel’s Salon Panorama in Geneva, she presented him with a small gift box containing a bright red button symbolizing the Obama administration’s desire to “reset” the relationship between the two governments.

Thus began an effort to transfer American technology to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own “Silicon Valley,” called Skolkovo. In a report released in late July by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) entitled From Russia With Money, authors Stephen Bannon and Peter Schweitzer reviewed the long sordid history of the technology transfer from companies such as Google, Intel, and Cisco of hi-tech technology with useful military applications.

The report quoted warnings from the FBI and the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth that the transfer would work against American interests. Warned the U.S. Army:

[The “reset” would serve as] a vehicle for world-wide technology transfers to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.

It was clearly a “quid pro quo” arrangement: 17 of the 28 companies involved in the technology transfer gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation or to Bill Clinton for giving some speeches.

When those authors, both of whom are affiliated with Breitbart News, summed up their conclusions, one question remained: “The GAI investigative report says it’s unclear how much, if any, money [John] Podesta made.” Podesta, having served the Clintons for years, first as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and then as counselor to President Obama and finally as Hillary’s campaign chairman, deserved a payoff.

But it wasn’t clear until the latest batch of e-mails provided by WikiLeaks went public last week that Americans now know. For his efforts Podesta received thousands of shares of common and preferred stock in one of the companies involved in the transfer. The fact came to light when WikiLeaks published e-mails Podesta sent to the company ordering it to transfer his shares to a shell corporation he had created a month earlier.

The e-mails included a letter Podesta wrote to the corporate secretary of that company instructing him to retitle 33,693 shares of preferred stock to Leonidio Holdings, LLC, a corporation that Podesta (or one of his staff) created using a Corporation Service Company to hide the shares from public view.

The company that gave Podesta the stock shares, Joule Unlimited, claims to be a producer of “alternative” energy technology that will eventually be able to produce energy that will be competitive with oil priced at $50 a barrel. It was a recipient of millions of Putin’s rubles as one of the gang of companies working to transfer American technology to Russia, one of America’s enemies.

As Schweizer told the New York Post in an interview in July:

The Clintons, they get their donations and speaking fees in the millions of dollars. The Russians get access to advanced US technology. The tech companies get special access to the Russian market and workforce….

All I ask is that people look at the money. Who made the deals, who benefited from the deals?

Thanks to WikiLeaks the “people” now know the name of at least one of those who participated in the deals and how he benefited from them: John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager.
