monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Again, there was in fact meddling and interference with the US election two years ago but had nothing to do with Russia. It involved the British Empire or whatever is left of that, house of lords,Rothschilds, London banks, MI5, MI6 etc. etc. and it was motivated by questions involving Brexit and tens of trillions of dollars of financial derivatives, much if not most of which are denominated in Euros, and the question of whether European governments would allow London banks to continue acting as clearing houses for those derivatives after Brexit.

From Christian fundamentalists to white supremacists to secession movements to fascists in the so-called “alt-right,” the links are as diffuse as they are damning. Not only have these networks brought Russian agents into close contact with higher-ups in the Republican party, but they’ve presented some of the primary threads of the Kremlin’s efforts at upending and unwinding American democracy.
