the exceedingly unlikely happened. Donald Trump was sworn into the
highest office in America. He officially became the 45th president of
the United States.
The ceremony went off without a hitch. There were no mistakes, no slip ups, everyone knew their place and what to do.
From the guests of honour, the Trump's and the Pence's - to the previous presidents, vice presidents and their families.
That, of course, included President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama.
It was their responsibility to greet the Trump's, join them at the
capitol building for the ceremony and then depart for a well-earned
rest.
Both were of course incredibly professional, however, it was clearly a difficult day for the pair of them.
This was most evident in Michelle's facial expressions - and they certainly didn't go unnoticed by viewers of the inauguration.

Trumps Signs Order Withdrawing U.S. from TPP, a Deal That Would Have Greatly Benefitted Donors to the Obama Foundation, But Will He Renegotiate a NAFTA That Expands Protection for Corporate Interests?

On November 21, 2016, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump released a video laying out actions he would take on his first day in office, including withdrawing the United States from a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Trump also said he would issue a rule cutting government regulations, direct the Labor Department to investigate abuses of visa programs, and cancel some restrictions on energy production, including shale oil and gas and coal. [Reuters]
Reuters - President Donald Trump signed an executive order formally withdrawing the United States from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal on Monday, following through on a promise from his campaign last year.
In an Oval Office ceremony, Trump also signed an order imposing a federal hiring freeze and a directive banning U.S. non-governmental organizations receive federal funding from providing abortions abroad.
Trump called the TPP order a "great thing for the American worker."
International Business Times - President Barack Obama last week renewed his push for the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, suggesting that it will be easier to pass the
deal after the elections are over. The idea is that lawmakers will then
be more insulated from political influence.
Yet Obama has his own potential incentives to push for the TPP: His
presidential foundation has been relying on support from industries that
could profit from the agreement.
For instance, the TPP offers potential benefits to the finance sector, including expanded access to capital and investment opportunities
in emerging markets, as well as what critics say are provisions that
could dilute financial regulation in the United States. The progressive
advocacy group Public Citizen says the
deal “would undermine bans on particularly risky financial products”
and “restrict capital controls, an essential policy tool to counter
destabilizing flows of speculative money.”
The same financial industry that could benefit from the TPP has
forged deep ties to Obama’s foundation. The organization’s current
president is J. Kevin Poorman, the CEO of investment firm PSP Capital
Partners. PSP was founded by billionaire Penny Pritzker, daughter to a
co-founder of Hyatt hotels, a longtime Obama ally and the current head
of the U.S. Commerce Department.
Other members of the foundation’s
leadership team include John Doerr of the venture capital firm Kleiner
Perkins Caufield and Byers; Martin Nesbitt, co-founder of the private
equity firm Vistria Group; John Rogers of the financial firm Ariel
Investments; andMichael Sacks, chairman and CEO of the investment
management firm GCM Grosvener.
Doerr also serves on the board of
directors for Google.
In addition to helping steer the Obama Foundation,
Sacks has given it somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million.
The foundation also reports that it has received somewhere between
$500,000 and $1 million from Mark Gallogly, founder of the investment
firm Centerbridge Partners and a former senior managing director at the
Blackstone Group. The same goes for James Simons, founder of the
investment management firm Renaissance Technologies LLC. Hedge fund
founder David Shaw, former UBS President Robert Wolf and Tim Collins,
CEO of the private equity firm Ripplewood Holdings, have each given
between $250,000 and $500,000. Nicholas Aleskos of the private equity
firmMadison Dearborn Partners has given up to $100,000.
Similarly, the TPP has been backed
by the entertainment industry because of its stronger copyright
protections. It has also been supported by producers of equipment for
outdoor recreation, whose trade association said the deal’s lower tariffs represent “substantial commercial benefits for outdoor product manufacturers and retailers.”
Key figures in both of those industries are also major Obama Foundation donors: the foundation of director George Lucasrecently donated between $500,000 and $1 million to the president’s foundation, and Tom Campion, the co-founder of outdoor retailer Zumiez, gave between $250,000 and $500,000.
Good government activists have been sounding the alarm about presidential library fundraising for years. In a 2013 NBC News article about the George W. Bush library, Sunlight Foundation policy counsel Daniel Schuman described library contributions as “the wild, wild West of influence.”
“Presidents often start raising money for these libraries while
they’re still in office, usually two or three years before they leave
office, and money can come from anywhere — from foreign governments,
from foreign officials, from lobbyists, from anywhere,” he said.
Though few public officials will ever be in a position to launch a
presidential library foundation, other politicians have nonprofits with
similar disclosure rules and no limits on contributions. For example,
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has the McCain Institute Foundation, which in
2014 received $1 million from the government of Saudi Arabia.
By law, the Obama Foundation is not required to disclose all of its donors.
CommonDreams.org - President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), marking a new phase for the broad movement that sought to kill the corporate-friendly trade deal.
Progressive groups campaigned hard against the 12-nation trade
agreement which they said threatened public health, environmental
protections, and human rights while handing a big win to corporate
interests.
Indeed, digital rights group Fight for the Future was quick to credit
that movement with Monday's victory.
"The victory against the TPP
belongs to the people, not to Donald Trump or any other politician," said Fight for the Future campaign director Evan Greer.
"An unprecedented international movement of people and organizations
from across the political spectrum came together, and lead nothing short
of an uprising that stopped an outright corporate takeover of our
democratic process," Greer continued. "Together we sounded the alarm and
made the TPP so politically toxic that no presidential candidate who
wanted to be elected could support it."
Both Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made their opposition to
the deal and others like it a cornerstone of their election platforms.
And Sanders on Monday said he was "glad the [TPP] is dead and gone."
"Now is the time to develop a new trade policy that helps working
families, not just multi-national corporations," Sanders said. "If
President Trump is serious about a new policy to help American workers
then I would be delighted to work with him."
"Donald Trump's administration is profoundly anti-worker, and his
decision to pull out of the Trans Pacific Partnership doesn't change
that," said Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change
Campaign Committee (PCCC). "His administration is crammed with bankers
and billionaires, and his first actions were to halt overtime pay rules
and make it more expensive for middle-class families to buy homes. He
may talk a big game, but his actions speak for themselves."
As such, the public must stay vigilant that any "new policy," as
Sanders put it, will adhere to the goals of the movement that took down
the TPP in the first place. Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's
Global Trade Watch, outlined some of those goals in a statement on Monday.
Trump's executive order "will bury the moldering corpse of a deal
that couldn't gain majority support in Congress," Wallach said, "but the
question is going forward: Will President Trump's new trade policies
create American jobs and reduce our damaging trade deficit while raising
wages and protecting the environment and public health not just here
but also in trade partner nations?"
Noting that Trump has also vowed to renegotiate the Clinton-era North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Wallach warned: "NAFTA
renegotiation could be an opportunity to create a new trade model that
benefits more people, but if done wrong, it could increase job
offshoring, push down wages, and expand the protections NAFTA provides
to the corporate interests that shaped the original deal."

Clinton Foundation's Heavily Connected Donors Get Favors on a ‘Global
Scale’; the Same Will Be True for Donors to the Obama Foundation
IWB - When
President Barack Obama asked Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to be
his secretary of state in 2009, “everybody was concerned by the obvious
fact that America’s chief diplomat, who charts our foreign policy with
foreign governments … is taking all this foreign money” for her family’s
foundation, says Peter Schweizer, author of “Clinton Cash.”
In
this second exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News
Foundation, the best-selling author discusses the bipartisan scrutiny
the Clintons got in January 2009 for taking foreign money for private
gain.
So,
when Hillary pledged extra disclosure and transparency to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee — then chaired by John Kerry — the Obama
White House, and government ethics officials, it now appears she just
lied to them all, says Schweizer.
Schweizer finds it
“mind-boggling” that Hillary lied to Obama. He set out the specific
conditions for her being secretary of state so as not to impugn his
administration’s integrity and campaign promises on transparency.
Instead, she created “the impression in a way that Barack Obama was
working for the Clintons, not the Clintons or Hillary was working for him.”
Today,
Schweizer connects the dots in this captivating interview between his
2015 research, the revelation of Hillary’s controversial private server,
the WikiLeaks and Judicial Watch emails, and her effort to destroy
thousands of emails.
He believes Hillary’s private and hidden emails connect directly to the favors for Clinton cash.
“They
needed to have a means of communication on a global scale that allowed
them to talk about favors that donors wanted, to talk about favors that
could be done for donors, to talk about the flow of money in a way that
could not be detected by anyone else,” he says in this video interview.
Unless
held to the same rules as others, he says, this pattern by public
officials using their offices for private gain will repeat itself. He
notes that Obama appears already poised to repeat the pattern with his
own foundation, with the help of Marty Nesbitt, a Chicago businessman.
Schweizer
says for-profit education is an example of an industry targeted by
government policymakers. He discusses the value of “protection money”
given to connected family and friends when the government starts picking
winners and losers. Schweizer uses the examples of the University of Phoenix, Laureate International and ITT Tech, which was shuttered in September. Just recently, Judicial Watch exposed a favor done for Laureate International and other Clinton Foundation sponsors.
…
The
Clinton machine has responded to Schweizer’s book and research by
“attacking the messenger,” claiming they are doing what everybody else
in government does, and saying there is no evidence of any “quid pro
quo,” he explains.

When we lose our economic security, we also lose our freedom and are forced to survive any way we can. The subliminal, one-world religion is self-preservation — the survival instinct. It's basic to human nature. The Bible shows a coming world leader who will exploit this self-preservation instinct and will bring this religion to its logical conclusion. And, if possible, even some of the very elect will be deceived by this appeal to their pocketbook and personal security.
