Nice find.

[Obadiah]

It would appear that the oligarchs are not happy.

[Logical me]

What does this have to do with stopping Trump?

[Don Corleone]

As Mayor Daley used to say, “If you are going to have incest, keep it in the family”.

[freddy005]

As a former DC Area resident (20 plus years) and with family still in that area....I can attest to everyone that the DC Metro Region is a Corrupt infested swamp in that there’s a wholesale industry “skimming” off the top from Government spending. There’s NO incentive for anyone in government (Rep and Dem) to REDUCE the growth of government! It’s ALL a SCAM!! That’s the ONLY reason why they hate and fear TRUMP! Whether he does anything about it is good for debating but they are AFRAID of the unknown! They fear their gravy train disappearing....

[hoosiermama]

Echo GOOD FIND!

Bet there is more found with very little digging

Shame the msm isn’t interested

[HarleyLady27]

Thank You onyx for this, now we know some of the reasons for the corruption in government...

And now we know why they don’t want Trump in the Oval Office, he’s a member of his own club and not part of theirs...says a lot...

[dadfly]

thanks for the post!

[miss marmelstein]

Endless corruption. News anchors give ‘hard-hitting’ questions to their spouse/member of Congress/Senate/Federal Reserve.

[ConservativeWarrior]

If the US government was a business, it would have gone under long ago if not for constantly being bailed out on the backs on the taxpayers and Chinese loans.

[vpintheak]

That image is pure horse pucky.
God does not pick the strongest and best. There are numerous examples throughout the Bible indicating that, including Christ Jesus Himself.
I chalk this up to more cult of personality tripe that people on FR should know better.

Not Answering the Caul
National Journal: Hotline Latest Edition (USA) - October 27, 2011

EXCERPT

Cruz “has become a cause célèbre for tea party activists around the country.” But he “does have establishment ties.” Cruz mgr John Drogin is a former staffer to NRSC chair John Cornyn (R). Drogin “is a known quantity” in TX circles, “and his decision to sign on with Cruz gives the campaign credibility” with GOPers in D.C. and Austin. Cornyn “is not getting involved publicly in the primary” ( Livingston, Roll Call, 10/27). Snake Oil

Cruz “has been focusing some of his harshest campaign trail rhetoric on that longtime villain of those suspicious of U.S. internationalism”: The Council on Foreign Relations. During a speech to a GOP women’s group last week, Cruz said the Council on Foreign Relations is “a pit of vipers.” When asked about the Council at another event on Oct. 15, Cruz called the organization “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty,” according to “video provided by someone who opposes his candidacy.”

But Cruz’s wife, Heidi Cruz, “was an active member” of the Council on Foreign Relations until this June. She was a member until June on a 5-year “term membership” program, “an official at the organization confirmed.”

Cruz spokesperson James Bernsen: “It was never the main point of that debate and this race isn’t about the CFR, this race is about who’s going be the best senator from Texas. ...

“Building a North American Community”

“HEIDI S. CRUZ is an energy investment banker with Merrill Lynch in Houston, Texas. She served in the Bush White House under Dr. Condoleezza Rice as the Economic Director for the Western Hemisphere at the National Security Council, as the Director of the Latin America Office at the U.S. Treasury Department, and as Special Assistant to Ambassador Robert B. Zoellick, U.S. Trade Representative. Prior to government service, Ms. Cruz was an investment banker with J.P. Morgan in New York City.”

Heidi Cruz tries to rebuild bridges her husband burned on path to White House

Reuters, December 15, 2015

Heidi Cruz, a Harvard Business School graduate and former Bush administration official, has emerged as a central figure in her husband’s campaign, charming on-the-fence donors while acting as a bridge to the Republican establishment.

(snip)

At this stage, Cruz is not tapping her network of Wall Street contacts, nor is she trying to bring around her former colleagues in the Bush administration, where she worked as an aide to then-U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick before joining the staff of the White House National Security Council.

“They know my phone number,” she said. “And when they’re ready, they will call. I’m not going to go twist their arm. And when they come, we will welcome them with open arms.”

Good work. Thanks for the post. BTTT.

[Steelfish]

So we are into conspiracy theories now! How about Trump’s holdings abroad; Ivanka Trump clothing line all comes from Asia; Trumps shirts, ties, suits. He himself said H1-B visas are great before he spun it around in under 24-hours.

[higgmeister]

The meeting was held at St. Simons Island, Georgia. It has a ignominious history of Shadow Power Brokers planning our clueless plight.

Federal Aviation Administration records available on FlightAware.com show that a fleet of private jets flew into and out of two small airports near Sea Island this weekend. Fifty-four planes flew out of the airport on St. Simons Island, Georgia, on Sunday -- nearly four times as many as departed from the airport the previous Sunday.

On November 22, 1910, Aldrich called a meeting of the banking establishment and members of the National Monetary Commission, which was proposed by Henry P. Davison (a partner of J. P. Morgan). Aldrich said that he intended to keep them isolated until they had developed a “scientific currency for the United States.”

All those summoned to the secret meeting, were members of the Illuminati. They met on a railroad platform in Hoboken, New Jersey, where they chartered a private railroad car owned by Aldrich to Georgia. They were taken by boat, to Jekyll Island, off the coast of Brunswick, Georgia. Jekyll Island is in a group of ten islands, including St. Simons, Tybee, Cumberland, Wassau, Wolf, Blackbeard, Sapelo, Ossabow, and Sea Islands. Jekyll Island was a ‘hideaway resort of the rich,’ purchased in 1888 by J. P. Morgan, Henry Goodyear, Joseph Pulitzer, Edwin and George Gould, Cyrus McCormick, William Rockefeller (John D. Rockefeller’s brother), William K. Vanderbilt, and George F. Baker (who founded Harvard Business School with a gift of $5 million) for $125,000 from Eugene du Bignon, whose family owned it for a century.

Up until the time it was converted into a public resort, no uninvited foot ever stepped on its shores. It was said, that when all 100 members of the Jekyll Island Hunting Club sat down for dinner at the clubhouse, it represented a sixth of the world’s wealth. St. Simons Island, a short distance away, to the north, was also owned by Illuminati interests.

In 1957 the first U.S. conference was held on St. Simons Island, Georgia, with $30,000 from the Ford Foundation.

I guess I never need to run for President then.

My wife owns an international property holding company.

She is not Trump rich but well off enough that my late MIL used to bitch and moan about me being a kept man. (The term in Chinese is a man who eats soft rice)

When Members of Congress Sleep With Lobbyists

In Congress, relatives lobby for bills before family members

In 2007, in the wake of the biggest lobbying scandal in decades, Congress limited the ability of family members to lobby their relatives in the House or Senate. But it declined to ban the practice entirely.

Since then, 56 relatives of lawmakers have been paid to influence Congress. More than 500 firms have spent more than $400 million on lobbying teams that include the relatives of members, according to a Washington Post analysis of disclosure forms.

Thanks for posting. Excellent work!

Sad to see the number of “elected representatives of the people” that are more than happy to usurp the will of the poeple for a tech billionare contribution from the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS CROWD :(

Most names did not surprise me, a few did :( That said, I will remember them all during their next election cycles.

Go Trump!

[dangus]

Idiotic. Heidi Cruz is a mid-level manager in the local, Houston office. She is “managing director” of a fund... one of thousands.

[KGeorge]

EXCELLENT, onyx! Great work!
