With Trump Grabbing the Reigns of US Empire, \u2018You Don’t End up Elected President of the US without Being a Fast Track Insider\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a written interview with Muslim Press, I answered questions about what we can expect from a Trump presidency. Below is the full body text of the Q & A session:<\/p>\n

In an interview with Muslim Press, former US Army officer Joachim Hagopian said \u201cYou don’t wind up with that amount of wealth and power, emerge out of a pack of wannabes as the Republican presidential nominee and end up elected president of the United States of America without being a fast track insider.\u201d
\nRead the full text of the interview:<\/p>\n

Muslim Press: You have said that „Donald Trump has always been an insider regardless of his media portrayal as the longshot Beltway outsider suddenly emerging from the pack of wannabes as the GOP frontrunner.“ Could you elaborate more on this?<\/strong>
\n
\n<\/strong>
\nJoachim Hagopian: What I meant calling\u00a0Trump „an insider“<\/a> is the fact that he was born into a wealthy family with a silver spoon in his mouth, receiving an Ivy League education (University of Pennsylvania). When the Donald was a mere lad in his mid-twenties, he met his mentor Roy Cohn who as the quintessential insider essentially owned New York City. Cohn\u00a0was the high-powered, ruthless attorney who represented Senator McCarthy during the McCarthyism reign of terror in early 1950’s America as well as the consigliore attorney representing\u00a0all five\u00a0heads of the infamous NYC mobster families. Trump\u00a0became a real estate tycoon who for years used Cohn as his personal attorney, mentor and steppingstone ladder to\u00a0making countless deals with New York mayors, mobsters and top Wall Street banksters.
\nYou don’t rise to the top and\u00a0become a real\u00a0estate\u00a0tycoon, casino kingpin and multibillionaire in prime turf places like Manhattan, Atlantic City\u00a0and Palm Beach Florida without being an insider. The biggest banks allowed him to declare bankruptcy four times yet he still has managed to amass a fortune with an estimated worth of well over $3 billion today. You don’t wind up with that amount of wealth and power,\u00a0emerge out of a pack of wannabes as the Republican presidential nominee and end up elected president of the United States of America without being a fast track insider, regardless of the press\u00a0often\u00a0referring to him as an \u201cestablishment outsider.\u201d In America you simply can\u2019t end up the winner in a presidential election rigged by both political parties without being a longtime insider player.
\nAlso take a look at one of his primary financiers – Israel firster Sheldon Adelson who as the 14th<\/sup> richest man American agreed to commit as much as $100 million to getting him elected. So there is a reason why the Republican candidate who shamelessly pandered to the powerful American-Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC)\u00a0got elected, and it had nothing to do with his being an establishment outsider. At the March\u00a0AIPAC conference<\/a> Trump stated he would be neutral when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian question but then after receiving his first bundle of millions from Adelson, suddenly Trump dropped his „neutrality“ position, promised to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem and eliminate\u00a0the two state\u00a0solution from the Republican Party platform. Before an AIPAC\u00a0standing ovation, Trump\u00a0also pledged on his first day in office to tear up the Iran nuke deal. You cannot receive millions in campaign donations or be elected president or to any national office in American politics without being a Jewish State loyalist, i.e., an elitist insider.
\nAnd now that Trump’s been elected, he’s surrounding himself with notorious neocons and longtime shadow government insiders in key administration positions. So this man can hardly be called the longshot maverick outsider that many Americans\u00a0believe him to be, nor will he be their champion fighting against globalism and courageously „draining the swamp“ of Washington corruption and criminality while making his own independent decisions, as the press\u00a0that hasn\u2019t vilified him tends to paint.<\/p>\n

MP: Many senior Republican leaders defied Trump before the election but after he emerged victorious have softened their tone towards the president-elect. What does that tell us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joachim Hagopian: From the outset much hay has been made of the Republican establishment being vehemently stacked against him.\u00a0Again,\u00a0media distortion.\u00a0It’s preposterous to actually believe that\u00a0after butting heads the last year and a half with the chairman of the Republican National Committee that Trump would suddenly select him as his White House Chief of Staff, top ranking\u00a0official at the White House, if he weren\u2019t already in a cozy relationship with him. Again, you can’t believe the fake news you hear from America’s fake press.
\nI just finished writing\u00a0an article<\/a> exposing that whole hot button subterfuge issue. The truth is the internet in the form of independent alternative news sites is the last place a truth-starved world can get an honest and accurate accounting of what is actually happening in our world. But now because the corrupt fascist totalitarian government in Washington and its complicit mainstream media lies\u00a0have been thoroughly exposed by internet news sites during\u00a0this political election debacle, now the elite establishment has launched an aggressive post-election\u00a0campaign to totally censor and eliminate people’s access to the truth found on the internet. It’s a totalitarian war against free speech, free press, freedom of choice and the truth. Visionary George Orwell once said, „During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.“ It’s never been truer than in\u00a0today’s Western world.
\nGetting back to your question about Republican leaders now softening their anti-Trump stance, that’s how the corrupt, sleazy game of politics\u00a0is played in America. „I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine“ is simply their way of doing business. Plus, if those same Republicans\u00a0continued railing against their president within\u00a0the same political party that controls both chambers of Congress plus the executive branch,\u00a0one would have to be\u00a0foolish to want to become Trump’s bitter enemy since he is known\u00a0to be\u00a0a rather petty, pugnacious, vengeful wheeler-dealer.
\nHis recent decision to „pardon“ Hillary\u00a0by not seeking a special prosecutor against her, the threat\u00a0that he promised during his campaign, has more to do with her potential blackmail against him for his\u00a0alleged connection to\u00a0pedophile<\/a> billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s\u00a0Lolita Express, Epstein’s sex slave island and his child sex slavery\/trafficking ring. Both Trump and the Clintons along with\u00a0disgraced former NY congressman and pervert Anthony Weiner married to Hillary’s 20-year right hand woman, Saudi Arabian raised in radical Islam Huma Abedin, all have Epstein ties. Many already compromised politicians don’t wish to make Trump their enemy for obvious reasons. Those in power in America get the personal dirt on others in power as an insurance policy to staying alive.
\nPlus right after the election, that’s also what you’re supposed to do, in the spirit of unity play like you\u2019ll let bygones be bygones, promising to work closely together on behalf of the interests of the electorate, despite the blatant fact that the oligarchic federal government works on behalf of special interests, both domestic and foreign, treasonously operating against the interests of the American people.
\nThat said, Trump still has many enemies in Washington and no one should expect a Republican controlled\u00a0government to be any less dysfunctional and conflicted than it already has been. The divide and conquer strategy that’s historically worked remarkably well for the elite\u00a0for centuries will only continue to polarize America\u00a0along Republican versus Democrat, conservative versus liberal, right versus left brainwashing lines, in conjunction with pitting races, religions, classes, citizens versus immigrants and pro-government versus\u00a0anti-government forces\u00a0against each other. Obama and Hillary have done a masterful job with promoting conflict and division as thus far Trump has as well. That\u2019s because they are all the created stooges of the same power elite that controls them.<\/p>\n

MP: Hillary Clinton’s popular vote lead over Donald Trump now exceeds 1.5 million votes. Does that mean that the electoral system in the U.S. is rigged?<\/strong>
\n
\n<\/strong>Joachim Hagopian: It’s probably over 2 million now. But then\u00a0Hillary’s side is alleged to have recruited up to 2 million illegal immigrants to illegally vote for Clinton. We’ve also heard that they’ve found ways where voters illegally vote more than once as well as thousands of votes allegedly cast by dead people. The list of ways this election\u00a0was rigged<\/a> is rather lengthy.
\nAnd anyone who has been paying attention to those many months of daily\u00a0released WikiLeaks emails belonging to\u00a0Clinton, Abedin,\u00a0Hillary’s campaign chairman John Podesta and the DNC have already concluded that the corrosively broken US political system is thoroughly rigged and has been so for quite some time. Look at this century’s first 2 presidential elections – both stolen by the Bush-Cheney gang. We’ve learned that Senator Bernie Sanders actually won all those Democratic primaries but the corrupt pro-Hillary Democratic Party stole the nomination from him. Had he been allowed to run against Trump, Sanders would most definitely be our next president.\u00a0But he opted to cash in his chips for a plush $600,000 lakeside home and dutifully support pure evil Hillary.
\nWe’ve also learned that the electronic, no paper trail voting machines contracted in 16 major states were partly owned by globalist troublemaker\u00a0George Soros, who is among the top financiers of crime boss Hillary. We also know that\u00a0blackbox voting software<\/a> used in about 25% of all electronic voting machines\u00a0across America denies millions of voters by demographically not counting their vote as a whole number but are preprogrammed to fractionalize\u00a0votes into a one\/one thousandth of a single vote. Countless votes belonging to traditional Democratic voters who\u00a0happen to be\u00a0African American and Latino were erased by the heavy use of this software employed by Republican secretaries of state. Another method heavily deployed in 26 Republican controlled states use a method called\u00a0crosschecking<\/a> that also effectively targets minorities known to be Democratic voters.\u00a0Over a million Hillary\u00a0votes are estimated to have not been counted by this method. So there is evidence with 100% certainty that cheaters from both parties have rigged this recent election, making a complete mockery of the United States\u00a0as a so called democratic republic when we all should now know by now that\u00a0America has degenerated into\u00a0a totalitarian police state oligarchy. We also should realize that the last time a US president dared to try draining the swamp, he was assassinated. And the same rogue government crime cabal that silenced JFK over half a century ago is still fully in charge today. So don’t expect the Donald to be the people’s crusader against the crime cabal government. He only used that platform to get himself elected… just\u00a0like Obama preyed on\u00a0Americans‘ „hopes“ for change when all he did was execute the same globalist neocon policies of his predecessor war criminals Bush and Cheney. Except Obama usurped even more dictatorial power and implemented treasonous policies to fulfill his globalist masters‘ orders to destroy America. Recall that Obama promised to be „the most open and transparent president in US history“ when in fact he has turned out to be the most secretive, least transparent Manchurian puppet president in US history.<\/p>\n

MP: How do you predict Trump\u2019s foreign policy, especially regarding the Middle East? Do you think US-Russia relations would thaw when he begins his job as the president of the United States? And is Trump likely to wage more wars compared to previous U.S. presidents?<\/strong>
\n
\n<\/strong>Joachim Hagopian: If we are to believe Trump will do his best to tear up the Iran nuke deal his first day as president as he promised AIPAC, we’re only in for more international imperialistic conflict, more arrogant aggression in the form of more American exceptionalism and more war around the world. That said, Trump actually made campaign promises to not be an international interventionist, unlike the last three dozen years of the Bush-Clinton-Obama dynasty. But instead he has pledged to work in partnership with Putin to destroy ISIS and al Qaeda terrorists that the previous dynasty created and continues supporting. So if he follows through on that promise alone, I applaud Trump for making the world a much safer place. Hillary and Obama and their mainstream Western press have wrongfully demonized Assad and Putin, and have brought the planet to the brink of World War III with nuclear powered designated enemies Russia and China in a sinister aggressive agenda to encircle, isolate and weaken Russia, China and Iran. If Trump as a non-interventionist moves away from war as the Empire of Chaos and Destruction\u2019s answer to everything, his foreign policy will save the world from self-destruction.
\nBut again, we have to realize the real power base that owns and runs this planet, including every US president since JFK. The central bankers and the US military security industrial complex thrives on wars and international conflict. And since they will only continue running the planet after Trump becomes president, don\u2019t expect the century plus old policy of US imperialism and war-making to suddenly stop its dirty business. I believe Trump was only allowed to become president by the elite because he will be their chosen fall guy when the dominos in its house of cards economy begin falling as Deutsche Bank and the rest of the \u201ctoo big to fail banks\u201d begin falling, only instead of a bail-out at taxpayer expense, expect a bail-in, waking up to find your life savings stolen by your bank.
\nToo many bubbles are dangerously ready to pop. Over 550 trillion in derivative contracts, nearing 20 trillion in national debt, a US dollar ready to be dropped as international currency, a global slowdown in GDP, a long stagnant, faltering US economy under 2% growth, all the signs of an imminent crash are now here. And since global war and a global economic collapse are central to the elite\u2019s agenda to create such massive slaughter and dire conditions of human misery on earth, such cataclysmic global destruction will facilitate and enable the globalists\u2019 long plotted one world government tyranny. Trump is simply their means by which to accomplish their diabolical endgame.
\nAs far as guessing what Trump\u2019s foreign policy will be like based on the leading contenders in his key cabinet posts of secretary of state, defense department, national security advisor and CIA director, so far the interviewees and the favorites don\u2019t look all that assuring, in fact they\u2019re downright depressing. It would be sheer disaster if Israeli-American dual citizen neocon John Bolton<\/a>, former Bush Ambassador to the UN, is chosen as secretary of state. That warmonger has yet to find a Third World nation he wouldn\u2019t like to bomb. Also much the same if Mitt Romney and his dirty politics also long supporting the Greater Israel Project gets in. Same for ex-New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani who was among the 9\/11 co-conspirators and since leaving public office has made his living in national security\/false flag ties that also placed him at UK\u2019s 9\/11 crime scene in London on 7\/7\/05. He\u2019s strongly in the running as Homeland Security chief as well.
\nTrump\u2019s current leading candidate for Secretary of Defense, retired four star Marine Corps General James \u201cMad Dog\u201d\u00a0Mattis<\/a> is among the hundreds of flag officers involuntarily demoted into forced retirement by the all-time worst US commander-in-chief Barrack Obama. That in itself is probably a good sign. General Mattis was respected and loved by his fellow Marines, is a seasoned combat commander, an alleged no-nonsense straight-shooter, a military scholar and described by his admirers as an honest, dedicated America first warrior. He is not an isolationist though but advocates American involvement throughout the world. Speaking before a group of fellow Marines headed to Iraq in 2005, he made a very sick remark that made him infamous,\u00a0commenting<\/a> how \u201cit\u2019s fun to shoot some people,\u201d calling it \u201ca hoot.\u201d
\nTrump\u2019s selection to be his national security advisor is retired three star Army General Michael Flynn, former Defense Intelligence Agency director who back in 2012 warned Obama that backing the jihadist ISIS terrorists bent on creating an Islamic caliphate was a very bad idea. But pigheaded Obama disregarded his advisor and ISIS went on to wreak the present havoc in both Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya and spreading terrorism around the world. However, Trump\u2019s choice for CIA director Congressman\u00a0Mike Pompeo<\/a> has said he would like to kill whistleblower Edward Snowden. To me that indicates the CIA will only continue as a lawless black ops rogue outfit with no oversight and funded by laundered US international drug money bent on supporting state sponsored terrorism and wars around the world.
\nSo since Trump has never had experience in foreign policy, he will likely rely heavily on his closest national advisors and based on the above list, I\u2019d say expect the same old, same old – more conflict, violence and war. The only person Trump interviewed recently who is a breath of fresh air is Hawaii\u2019s Democratic Congresswoman\u00a0Tulsi Gabbard<\/a> who as a former Army officer has been outspokenly critical of Obama\u2019s regime change proxy war policy in Syria. Her reasonable, honest presence in US foreign policy would be one positive sign amidst foreboding darkness. Trump has a very temperamental, hot-temped personality and disposition and tends toward aggressive confrontation rather than tactful diplomacy, patience and reasonable understanding. So trusting his finger on the button that might potentially destroy all life on this planet? That thought doesn\u2019t make me sleep at all better at night.<\/p>\n
