Trump Warns Of Dark Conspiracy By Clinton, Media, And International Banks

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Donald Trump on Thursday painted a picture of a global conspiracy of establishment figures hell-bent on derailing his campaign. At a campaign stop in West Palm Beach, Florida, in between attacking a wave of stories about his past inappropriate sexual behavior, Trump called the stories part of a concerted attempt to end his presidential bid.

“There is nothing the political establishment will not do, no lie that they won’t tell to hold their prestige and power at your expense,” Trump said early in the rally. “And that's what has been happening. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself. The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.”

Trump laid out a series of elaborate connections between political, corporate, and media elites whose vast conspiracy he claimed included shipping jobs overseas at the expense of American workers and using stories of his past sexual misconduct to prevent him from winning the presidency and robbing them of their power.

"It is a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put the money in the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. Just look at what the corrupt establishment has done to our cities like Detroit, Flint, Michigan and rural towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, and all cross our country. Take a look at what is going on. They've stripped away the towns bare and raided the wealth for themselves and taken our jobs away, out of our country, never to return unless I'm elected president," he said.

1. I'm feeling "Jews" in his message

But maybe that's just me.

[DonViejo]

5. No, don't feel like the Lone Ranger, I got the same message...

It may come yet!

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Me three.

[muriel_volestrangler]

13. "international bankers" is often a dog-whistle meant to imply "Jews"

Variations on these conspiracies that may not appear overtly anti-Semitic often have a latent Antisemitism about them as the words "Illuminati," "New World Order," "Zionists", "international bankers," "international monetary elite" and "financiers", "Cultural Marxists", "cultural elites" are Mad Libbed in for "Jews" and "international Jewry."

[teach1st]

19. That's the first thing I heard

I don't think he could be clearer about that without actually saying it.

[leftynyc]

23. Nope - me too

International bankers is straight out of mein kampf

[George II]

27. Yes, and it's exactly like the rhetoric that Adolf Hitler used to rally the population behind him...

....and got them to go along with him closing down the press and take over institutions in Nazi Germany.

The good thing is that even with all the scary support behind Trump, Americans know better and it won't happen.

Think of this:

Banks (especially International) = "Jews"
Media = "Jews"

It's a not so vague, and mostly unsuccessful, attempt to emulate the Nazi takeover of Germany in the 1930s.

I generally don't like all the blithe "Hitler" comparisons on sites like this, but in this case it's the most evident.

[marybourg]

33. Yup. As soon as I saw the word "banks". nt.

[Hekate]

37. Loud and clear.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

44. I sense that whenever anyone brings up global conspiracies.

I've seen too many people bring up the Rothschilds and the Jews after spewing Illuminati or Bilderberg Group conspiracies, and I felt like Trump was trying to appeal to the kooks who believe that junk.

[Retired George]

47. It's not just you, my friend

Trump is going Full Buchanan here.

[lark]

67. I think it's way worse than even that.

He read up on Hitlers speeches for many years and now we are seeing the echoes if those. If russia were to somehow steal the election for him, think we'd see a hell of a lot more than echoes in his actions and policies. Scariest, meanest, most dangerous man to ever run for president. I always thought GW/Cheney were existential threats, and they were, but he's so much worse than them.

[madaboutharry]

53. Those "international bankers"...wink, wink...

One of Trunp's coded messages to his Nazi fans.

[COLGATE4]

61. Straight out of Mein Kampf and

Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Nothing new under the sun.

[treestar]

2. oh wow he is copying Bernie

sounds like the Oligarchs.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

3. What, no jews?

That's got to be next.

[Moonwalk]

17. Jews are in there. "Banks..." is not so subtle code for Jewish conspiracy...

Right from Hitler's playbook.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

36. Of course. Lots more in this thread about that.

Thanks for drawing my attention back to this thread. Not that I missed the Nazi similarities in Trump's rhetoric, just missed the dogwhistle. Trump is usual so blatant in his hatred, I forgot to look for encoded bits!

[Moonwalk]

42. Well, unlike some other minorities, he likely thinks the Jews have some power...

...(being involved with finance) and could hurt him. So he wants deniability there.

But man, every time he speaks it's like being in a time machine. I'm not surprised that racism is stilll alive and kicking in the U.S. Nor that so many of the tired old memes are still part of modern racist/sexist rhetoric. But Trump really talks like he's stuck in 1950's. Beyond being appalled and offended, I sometimes find myself thinking "Really? You can't come up with anything new? You have trot out that creaky old Jewish-bankers line like some rusted model-T?"

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

49. A lot of what the RW has accomplished over the past few years,

perhaps most prominently with the rise of Sarah Palin, is to make socially acceptable again, as it had been in a lot of cases in the 50s, blatant racist, misogynistic, nationalistic talk in public.

There seems to have been a lot of anger and resentment among reactionaries that they had been increasingly made to feel embarrassed when voicing their unsavory views outside their inner circles. Palin very purposely emboldened them to reject "political correctness", and they have been banding together with like-minded folks and gaining strength in numbers as a result.

[JoePhilly]

4. ... and Mexicans, Muslims, Women, Gays, Minorities, the Disabled, Beauty Pageant contestants ...

... and the GOP Elite.

[cstanleytech]

6. I see he forgot the largest entity responsible for the derailment..........Donald Trump. nt

[HassleCat]

7. Rural towns in Pennsylvania

Doing OK, riding the fracking wave. When it subsides, the jobs will go away, of course.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Let's not forget the illuminatti

the Bilderbergers and the Keebler Elvers

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Funny coming from a man who has everything bearing his name made

by foreign workers in foreign countries.

[chelsea0011]

10. All that was missing was LaRouche and his Tri Lateral Commission conspriacy talk

[Coyotl]

18. Remember the John Birch Society. This sounds like 1950s paranoid politics all over again.

He's channeling W. Cleon Skoussen.

Wiki: "Skousen was an anti-communist, he "ran the police department in exactly the same manner as the Communists in Russia operate their government." ... Skousen founded a group called the All-American Society, which Time magazine described in 1961 as an "exemplar of the far-right ultras."[16] Throughout the 1960s, Skousen was also admired by members and leaders of the John Birch Society, although members of the more mainstream conservative movement and the American Security Council[3] snubbed him out of fear that his controversial views would hurt the credibility of the conservative movement. ..."

[kwassa]

50. Koch brothers' father was a Birch Society founder.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Meanwhile, outside Trump's warped reality, he IS the monied elites

Be sure to see E.J. Dionne's WaPo column 10/12,

How the GOP’s Big Tent turned into a house of horrors

[Lanius]

14. Really?

The same media that has hounded her for 24 years? The same media that reports in-depth and inexhaustibly on every "scandal" of hers that has come up since 1992? Sure, Drumpf. Just take responsibility for your poor campaign and seemingly criminal conduct toward women.

[Moonwalk]

20. He's trying to scare the media back into hounding her rather than him...

...because when they're after him, they're being unfair and how could they? Right?

[Blue Idaho]

15. Who is writing his speeches these days?

Alex Jones @ InfoWars?

[JHB]

46. Well, considering the book he boasts he keeps by his bedside...

....methinks the last name begins with an H.

[Friend or Foe]

16. Great message:

"The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself."

WRONG MESSENGER!!!

[Coyotl]

22. That's definitely a Republican talking point, so Trump is the right messenger.

It is just that he's too far off in Bundyland, Whackoland, and Pornland for a lot of Republicans.

"The Washington establishment" is code for our government, we the people, and he is knocking Republicans moreso than anyone saying that.

[Friend or Foe]

25. As a lifelong leftist

I feel there is no greater threat than the corporate media that controls the boulevards of information.

[Coyotl]

40. We don't want to conflate every leftist in Washington with them.

[Democat]

21. Replace "Banks" with "Jews"

Trump showing his true colors.

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. This is full-on Alex Jones shit

Or Louis Farrakhan:

"How did we get into World War II? You say Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Yes, they did, but what were the forces that created in Japan the desire or the need to force them to attack America? You don't know that. But when America went to war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, she had to borrow money. There were the international bankers again. They financed all sides. And how many millions of Americans lost their lives? Suppose Hitler was trying to destroy the international bankers controlling Europe, but he went about it by attacking a whole people. All Jews are not responsible for the evil of the few who do evilBut certain Jews have used Judaism as a shield."

[RKP5637]

26. Trump, has declared war on earth except for his ignorant deplorables! If there were an Antichrist,

Trump, is it IMO!

[vlyons]

28. I think that Trump is partially correct

"The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself."

And what is the "Washington establishment" if not the Republican party? Bought and owned by greedy oligarchs and corporations. A vast criminal enterprise that games the system and the tax code, suppresses the vote, buys elections. Trump fails to mention that he is part of that corrupt system.

[pangaia]

30. You know... ok.. please don't piss on me for this, but....

dare I?....ok. here goes.. if you take out the sex scandals, the conspiracy to destroy him and all the dog whistle shit, there is a certain amount of truth in what he says...

...and of course leave out..

"......unless I'm elected president."

If I am REALLY stupid, just tell me. I can take it. Bobby just won the Nobel Prize.

[Moonwalk]

45. Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day...

...but it certainly doesn't make the clock one you should rely on. Especially given the hypocrisy that he's (1) has been running as a republican and (2) he's always been a millionaire who cheats and swindles the little guy and the middle class and anyone else out of an honest day's pay.

Which is to say, when it comes to being right, I think actions speak louder than words. So, it's rather like he said "the earth is round" but is acting like it's flat. What's the point of his words being right when his actions are all wrong? Like the broken clock, he's not right because he's "working" just because of happenstance.

[pangaia]

48. Agreed 100%.

Fact is, he doesn't even know he is right about a lot of it.

'

[Moonwalk]

56. That's the other thing. I think he flings out sentences like a monkey throwing poo....

...at a wall with a target. To say he's right is pretty much to say he hit the target. But to him it's all poo to fling at the wall. He'll forget about this in the next sentence he flings. Again, what does it matter if it's right? It means nothing to him, and all it does for us is make us go, "Hm, well, he hit the target there. But he fouled it all up by using poo to hit it."

[pangaia]

58. True that.

[GulfCoast66]

55. I am going to piss all over you

So it makes sense that there is a conspiracy of international bankers to do in the common folks? Too bad for you that 'international bankers' and such language has been code for Jews for over 100 years and was perfected by Hitler before he had total power. After that he could just straight up rail against the Jews. It has been used the same way ever since.

That speech was right out of bannon's breitbart land and was as anti-Semitic as any speech given in this nation by a major figure since prior to WWII.

This election just entered a dangerous new chapter.

Sorry it make sense to you.

[pangaia]

59. I hope you will read my post again to see what I actually said and meant.

I said except for conspiracies, dog whistles, and the like.
I never said 'it' made sense to me.

And of course, he has no idea that he got some facts correct. Just pure luck.

[GulfCoast66]

60. Nope

I read what you wrote. And disagree. There is nothing luckly correct in Donald Trump. If you agree with anything he says perhaps you should examine what you believe.

No disrespect intended and maybe we just disagree on some issues. But that speech would have been at home in Nurenberg in 1938.

All our problems are the fault of international bankers and the fat cats if we can just get rid them everything will be fine. That is what I heard.

Oh and put my opponents in jail.

[dembotoz]

32. was gonna post something snarky about the tri-lateral commission but the comments

towards those who are jewish took the fun out of that.

the whole thing about immigrants smacks a bit to much like america turning away jews in the late 30s

funny i would have thought the line never again would at least last 100 years

[muriel_volestrangler]

34. There's a full transcript of his paranoid shit here

41. Heil Trump

Blah, blah, blah. The almighty blowhard doesn't like it when the game is played on him. What a sad situation we find ourselves in.

[Third Doctor]

43. So its a huge conspiracy

that the media and all reasonably intelligent people can see what type of douche bag he is? He's not to blame... Damn and I thought Romney was bad.

[onecaliberal]

51. He's projecting

[Panich52]

52. Saw that. Next RW meme will be 'Hillary wants world domination'

Or that she's integral part of Bilderbergers, fav New World Order conspiracy theorists' world domination group.

[tclambert]

54. He forgot to mention the Lizard People.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

57. ...... and Jews. Don't forget the Jews. Probably pronounced Jewwwwws. nt

[Odin2005]

65. The JOOOOOZ are implies by "International Banks" and "Media".

Classic Nazi dog-whistle.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

66. I figured, hey just cut the middleman. Go full "Aryan" while they're at it. nt

[mountain grammy]

62. Yep, they're all out to get us

and only Don the Con can save our sorry asses.

He's gone full Hitler.

[smirkymonkey]
