       Border wall billions for Trump?
       By: Firestarter Date: February 18, 2020, 9:44 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I always thought that Donald Trump’s campaign promise to build a
       border wall to protect the USA from all of those Latino Muslims
       was a complete charade.
       Experts estimated that a border wall along 1,300 miles (2,100
       km) would cost as much as $20 million per mile ($12.5
       million/km), with a total cost of $45 billion, with the cost of
       private land acquisitions and fence maintenance making it even
       more expensive.
       Maintenance of the wall could cost up to $750 million a year
       (not paid for by Mexico of course):
  HTML http://archive.is/91bgj
       I was surprised that President Donald actually abused his powers
       with the partial government shutdown for 35 days followed by
       declaring a “national emergency” about a year ago to get the
       wall funded.
       Even though this violates the US Constitution for some reason
       this hasn’t been made into a valid reason for impeachment of
       president Trump:
  HTML https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-shutdown-emergency/trump-declares-emergency-for-border-wall-house-panel-launches-probe-idUSKCN1Q420N
       Donald’s beautiful “impenetrable” border wall has already cost
       the US taxpayer $11 billion.
       It can be knocked over with a brisk wind, cut through with a
       cheap saw and climbed over with a basic ladder:
  HTML https://americasvoice.org/press_releases/trumps-impenetrable-border-wall-will-permit-easy-entry-of-smugglers-and-migrants-for-months-every-summer/
       (
  HTML http://archive.is/IxIov)
       On 14 February 2020, Donald extended his US-Mexico border
       “national emergency” for another year.
       I was also surprised that the billions of dollars in funds are
       diverted from the Department of Defense to fund border wall
       construction:
  HTML https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/14/trump-450-miles-border-wall-115339
       Now with the accounting practices of the Department of Defense
       being nothing but a sick joke it suddenly makes sense. This
       gives Trump and his cronies ample opportunity to launder the
       money and transfer it to offshore accounts:
  HTML http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?499341-Audit-Reveals-The-Pentagon-Doesn%92t-Know-Where-6-5-Trillion-Dollars-Has-Gone/page2
       This could also explain that Trump associates Jeffrey Epstein,
       Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen and Roger Stone were locked up, as
       with these crooks out of the way Donald can take a bigger slice
       of the billions.
       This could possibly also explain the huge amount of dismissed
       officials from Trump’s team:

       Hey there Firestarter. I've been missing your great posts.
       Welcome back. :)
       I recently came across this 1958 episode of ‘Trackdown’ that
       featured a character named Trump who wanted to build a wall. I'm
       not saying it means anything necessarily but I found it
       interesting to say the least.

       Thanks for that. You were certainly not the reason that I
       stopped posting here…
       I was accused of posting “fake” news one time too many.
       I also found the Zionist Christian propaganda posts, praising
       Donald Trump, on this forum too much to take:

       Maybe “Trump” was even named after the Dutch mass murderer
       Maarten Tromp, Princess Beatrix’s ship “De Groene Draeck” (The
       Green Dragon) was named after Tromp’s:

       Regarding strange prophecies, predictions (please don't take
       this too seriously)...
       Donald Trump may fulfill Nostradamus' prophecies as the third
       Anti-Christ to cause World War III and destroy earth! Or make an
       end to life as we know it...
       See some of the prophecies on Donald Trump (Trumpet) by the
       famous prophet Michel de Nostradame (Nostradamus)...
       Nostradamus even predicted Trumpet’s great Mexican “wall”.
       [Quote]CENTURY III, QUATRAIN 50
       The republic of the great city
       Will not want to consent to the great severity:
       King summoned by trumpet to go out,
       The ladder at the wall, the city will repent.[/Quote]
       Trumpet has already broken many agreements.
       [Quote]CENTURY I, QUATRAIN 57
       The trumpet shakes with great discord.
       An agreement broken: lifting the face to heaven:
       the bloody mouth will swim with blood;
       the face anointed with milk and honey lies on the
       ground.[/Quote]
       There have been lots of “false messages” about “the rigged
       election”.
       [Quote]CENTURY VIII, QUATRAIN 20
       The false message about the rigged election
       to run through the city stopping the broken pact;
       voices bought, chapel stained with blood,
       the empire contracted to another one.[/Quote]
       I couldn’t describe the “shameless, audacious bawler” Donald any
       better than Nostradamus did:
       [Quote]CENTURY III, QUATRAIN 81
       The great shameless, audacious bawler,
       He will be elected governor of the army:
       The boldness of his contention,
       The bridge broken, the city faint from fear.[/Quote]
       Trumpet will sell all of the “possessions” of “his adherents”,
       “expelled” obviously refers to the Muslim ban.
       [Quote]CENTURY X, QUATRAIN 76
       The great Senate will ordain the triumph
       For one who afterwards will be vanquished, driven out:
       At the sound of the trumpet of his adherents there will be
       Put up for sale their possessions, enemies expelled.[/Quote]
       Trumpet, “concealing madness” will make “Byzantium” (Istanbul,
       Turkey) “to change its laws”.
       [Quote]CENTURY I, QUATRAIN 40
       The false trumpet concealing madness
       will cause Byzantium to change its laws.
       From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants
       the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards.[/Quote]

       In February 2019, the following list of companies to profit from
       Trump’s border wall was published.
       SLSCO, founded by brothers Todd, Billy and Johnny Sullivan,
       scored $310 million in contracts for border-security.
       Montana-based Barnard Construction Co., founded by Tim Barnard,
       won a $172 million contract to build 32 miles of wall in
       Arizona.
       Companies focused on high-tech border security that could
       benefit include.
       Israel’s Elbit Systems (of America?);
       Israel-based Magal Security Systems:

       According to the following, the buddy of Ivanka and Jared
       Kushner, British-based “Russian” oligarch Roman Abramovich, will
       profit from the US-Mexico border wall.
       Abramovich through Russia's second-largest steel company Evraz
       controls 3 American steel companies (in Pueblo Colorado, in
       Portland Oregon and in Chicago):
  HTML http://archive.is/78Hcl
       Canadian steel billionaire Barry Zekelman has lobbied Trump for
       steel tariffs and his Wheatland Tube contributed $1.75 million
       to a pro-Trump super PAC. Atlas Tube is the Chicago-based
       division of Zekelman Industries supplies a huge amount of steel
       for the border wall in Arizona, where Trump intervened to help a
       bidder that was originally rejected.
       Foreigners aren’t allowed to directly influence US policy, but
       hey, this is the land of the free!
       On 30 April 2018, Barry Zekelman met Donald and Don Jr Trump to
       talk about steel tariffs in the presence of none other than Lev
       Parnas. After the 25% import tariff on steel, sales at
       Zekelman’s U.S. plants surged.
       An $891 million contract for 43 miles of wall on the Cabeza
       Prieta Wildlife Refuge was awarded to Southwest Valley
       Constructors, the New Mexico-based affiliate of Kiewit
       Corporation.
       The rest of the wall on Cabeza Prieta will be built by Fisher
       Sand and Gravel, whose owner Tommy Fisher, led a “whirlwind
       media campaign” and paid lobbyists more than $100,000 to get
       wall contracts. This included the efforts of Senator Kevin
       Cramer.
       Reportedly Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner personally urged
       the head of the Army Corps to award a $268 million contract to
       Fisher, even after his bid was rejected. The value of the
       contract could rise to nearly $400 million:

       On 24 January 2017, one of President Donald Trump’s first
       actions in office was to sign an executive order  to approve the
       Keystone XL (owned by TransCanada).
       40 percent of the steel for the Keystone XL pipeline, by 2015
       550 miles of steel pipe was manufactured in Canada by a
       subsidiary of Evraz; for 31% owned by Russian Lubavitcher Roman
       Abramovich, who’s close to both Putin and Trump.
       Evraz owns 3 steel mills in the US, but the pipes for Keystone
       XL project were produced in its Regina mill in Saskatchewan,
       Canada:
  HTML https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/02/13/abramovitch-putin-keystone-xl-steel
       Roman Abramovich’s Evraz Group SA also produces 75% of the pipes
       for the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline in Canada. Most of
       it is also produced in Evraz’s Regina mill.
       Abramovich once gave a $25-million yacht to his long-time ally
       Vladimir Putin:
  HTML https://theenergymix.com/2018/05/18/exclusive-justin-trudeaus-devil-of-a-pipeline-deal/
       It would seem "logical" that Roman Abramovich is somehow
       involved in supplying the steel for the border wall, but I
       haven't been able to confirm this...

       I have sometimes tried to find something unique about President
       Donald, and I think I finally find something that makes dirty
       Donald stand out from his corrupt predecessor presidents.
       Donald seems to be the first in a long, long time that could be
       considered a genuine steel-president (opposed to the many,
       oil/bank-presidents we’ve seen).
       The result of the 25% tariffs on steel imports since March 2018
       is devastating on the US economy.
       This results in higher prices for steel in the US, for which
       only the US-based steel companies profit. This inflatory effect
       on steel prices is even higher because of Trump’s approval of
       the Keystone XL oil pipeline and the US-Mexico border wall for
       which steel is needed.
       While the American steel companies (ironically some of the owned
       by foreigners) profit from the policies of the Trump
       administration other sectors that use steel get into serious
       trouble. Because the higher prices for steel they have a
       competitive disadvantage compared to foreign firms.
       According to the Trade Partnership Worldwide, higher costs from
       steel and aluminium tariffs would reduce US gross domestic
       product (GDP) by 0.2% annually. They also predicted that showed
       that for every job created in the steel or aluminium sector, 16
       jobs would be lost in other US sectors, resulting in a loss of
       jobs due to the tariffs.
       This isn’t surprising as jobs in steel-using industries
       outnumber those in steel production by about 80 to 1.
       Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea are
       exempt from the additional tariffs on derivative steel products.
       This means that the Ferrous Resources of Trump’s friend Carl
       Icahn, located in Brazil, will profit from the higher prices for
       exports to the US:
  HTML https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/us-tariffs-on-derivative-steel-aluminium-imports-take-effect/articleshow/74038597.cms?from=mdr
       (
  HTML http://archive.is/sSyvv)
       I have seen some stories from the international media and
       politricksters about the terrors of these tariffs for steel
       exports. In a strange twist for many of his adoring fans, this
       really confirms that Trump is the threat to the “globalists”
       establishment that will Make America Great Again.
       But the exact opposite is true.
       While the steel prices in the US will rise, with a disastrous
       effect on other sectors in the US that use steel for their
       products, steel prices in other countries across the globe will
       drop...
       While this is bad for the steel producing companies, other
       companies that use steel will profit from the lower prices. With
       the result that the tariffs will have a negative effect on the
       US economy, but a positive effect on the world economy.
       Because of the higher prices for steel in the US, but lower
       prices in other countries, some companies (like Harley Davidson)
       have moved their production overseas. This will make the
       negative effects for the US economy even worse, while foreign
       economies will profit even more.
       Some countries have understandably retaliated by imposing higher
       tariffs on products from the US.
       Hypothetically speaking the US could profit from the better
       world economy caused by the lower international steel prices in
       foreign territories, but not if the higher tariffs are only
       between the US and the rest of the world.
       According to the Peterson Institute, US consumers and businesses
       pay more than $900,000 (£690,750) a year, for every job saved or
       created by Trump’s steel tariffs, "The reason it's so high is
       that steel is a very capital intensive industry. There are not
       many workers".
       According to experts, the effect is similar for Trump's other
       tariffs; the tariffs on washing machines cost consumers $815,000
       per job created.
       The Peterson Institute estimates the additional cost of the
       steel tariffs to the US economy at $11.5 billion a year, because
       steel prices are about 10% higher, with only 12,700 jobs created
       in the steel sector.
       $11.5 billion / 12,700 jobs = $905,512 per job...
       Supporters of Trump's steel tariffs include Tom Gibson, who said
       the tariffs are righting years of foreign nations like China
       undercutting US steel production. Gibson points out that imports
       have fallen from 29% a year ago to 20% and US steel mills are
       now running at more than 80% capacity, a level not seen in over
       a decade.
       Supporters of the tariffs also boast that the US Treasury is
       receiving more revenue from the tariffs and that the longer the
       tariffs endure the more the domestic industry will thrive.
       Of course in reality the longer the tariffs will remain, the
       more the US economy will suffer...
       Trump has claimed other countries pay for the tariffs, but in
       reality the tariffs are paid for by Americans:

       Tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have cost American
       companies $46 billion since February 2018 and US exports hit by
       retaliatory tariffs have fallen sharply...
       Total US exports in 2018 were higher than in 2017, but
       retaliatory tariffs slowed growth and exports have declined in
       2019.
       US exports of goods to China hit by retaliatory tariffs were 26%
       lower in the 12 months ending November 2018 than the year
       before.
       Exports of items not facing such tariffs were 10% higher than
       2017 levels.
       In January, China’s Vice Premier Liu He signed a trade deal at
       the White House.
       As part of that deal, the United States halves the 15% tariffs
       imposed in September 2019, but 25% tariffs on Chinese products
       instated earlier will remain:

       Wilbur Ross - ArcelorMittal
       By: Firestarter Date: March 5, 2020, 10:41 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       It would be obvious that if Donald is the first steel president
       in a long, long time that his February visit to India was all
       about steel?!?
       India is the world's third-largest steelmaker, but its steel
       exports have fallen with 46%, according to the Peterson
       Institute.
       US President Donald Trump accompanied by amongst other Commerce
       Secretary Wilbur Ross was expected to meet a group of Indian
       CEOs, including Sunil Bharti Mittal (Chairman of Bharti Airtel),
       N. Chandrasekaran (Chairman of Tata Sons and Baba Kalyani), and
       Lakshmi N. Mittal (Chairman of ArcelorMittal, and business
       partner of Wilbur Ross):

       Who could have guessed that Donald Trump’s handler, long-time
       Rothschild banker, and Donald’s Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross
       was also a steel magnate, who with his (former) business
       partners profit from Donald’s steel tariffs (designed by Wilbur
       himself!)?!?
       On 1 March 2017, Wilbur Ross resigned from the board of
       directors of the largest steel manufacturer in the world,
       ArcelorMittal. With factories in the USA and Brazil (also
       exempted from Trump’s steel tariffs) to profit from the steel
       tariffs.
       Ross held $750,000 to $1.5 million in ArcelorMittal and, while
       he promised to divest his stake, he didn’t say how fast.
       Wilbur Ross reported that he was on ArcelorMittal’s board since
       2008, and that he earned about $107,000 in “director fees” in
       2016.
       According to ArcelorMittal’s SEC filing, Ross was a director
       since 2005 and earned $171,000 in 2016 and $180,000 in 2015.
       The biggest stake in ArcelorMittal (Luxembourg-based) is held by
       its chairman and CEO, the Indian Lakshmi Mittal (living in the
       UK, where else?!).
       Mittal has also been a board member of Goldman Sachs since 2008.
       From 2013 to 2015, ArcelorMittal has lobbied for more than $3.5
       million to get the Keystone XL pipeline approved.
       ArcelorMittal has sold huge amounts of steel for the Keystone XL
       pipeline. Most of it sold to Welspun Tubular in Arkansas from
       its plant in Bremen (Germany).
       In the early 2000s, Ross bought up distressed American steel
       firms, and merged them under the name International Steel Group
       (ISG).
       In February 2002, ISG purchased LTV Group’s steel division. A
       couple of weeks later, President George W. Bush suddenly
       announced new tariffs on imported steel. Ross has later sort of
       admitted that he knew these tariffs were coming!
       In late 2004, Ross sold ISG to Ispat Steel (located in the
       Netherlands, where else!?), that renamed itself Mittal Steel.
       Ross and the other investors earned about $2 billion in the
       deal. Ross was appointed to its board in 2005.
       In 1995, Lakshmi Mittal had bought Ispat Steel for 1 GBP and
       then bankrupted it, so he wouldn’t have to pay its debts.
       In 2006, Mittal (already the world’s largest steel company)
       merged with Luxembourg’s Arcelor (the second-largest steel
       company in the world) into ArcelorMittal – still the world’s
       largest steelmaker producing 10% of the world’s steel:

       White House spokesperson Lindsay Walters said: “[I]Secretary
       Ross is leading the administration’s approach on steel[/I]”.
       In 2002, Wilbur Ross and his investing partners bought up US
       steel companies in financial trouble, including LTV Corp.,
       Weirton, and Bethlehem Steel.
       When Mittal bought Wilbur & Co’s ISG, Forbes listed Mittal as
       the third richest billionaire in the world.
       Ross made a 12-fold gain on his initial investment, his profits
       boosted by not paying steel workers’ pensions nor cleaning up
       the pollution caused by the steel factories, which would cost
       hundreds of millions of dollars.
       The bankruptcy court allowed ISG to acquire the steel assets
       without paying to clean up the pollution left at the sites. The
       US government demanded $162 million from Bethlehem Steel to
       clean 9 of its Superfund sites, but the bankrupted company
       negotiated a deal that was worth “three-tenths of a cent on the
       dollar”.
       After ISG sold it to Mittal, Sparrows Point was in turn sold in
       2008 to Russia’s largest steel company, Severstal, run by Alexei
       Mordashov (who has been reported as Russia’s richest man and
       present at the 2011 Bilderberg meeting).
       In 2011, Mordashov sold Sparrows Point to the American Renco
       Group, whose founder and chair is none other than ultra-Zionist

       I’m more surprised that it took so long (in the third year of
       Donald’s presidency) than that this was done.
       I’ve posted on the connections from the Trump/Kushner crime
       syndicate to steel barons that make less profit because of some
       silly environmental concerns.
       On 4 June, President Donald signed an Executive Order (EO) that
       allows federal agencies to ignore regulations from the National
       Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act on new
       large infrastructure projects.
       At the same time, Donald’s Environmental Protection Agency is
       proposing a new rule that would circumvent the Clean Air Act so
       they can ignore public health in their cost-benefit analyses.
       President Donald’s 4 June EO could be used to approve new
       pipelines, highways and mines.
       President Donald is using an “emergency” declaration to help
       those “poor” owners of (amongst others) mines through the
       COVID-19 “pandemic”. Maybe this is another reason to keep the
       “pandemic” going for as long as Donald can...
       Some argue that poor communities (including non-whites) will
       disproportionally become the victim of bypassing regulation like
       this. There are more stories on the environmental damage that
       this will cause than criticism of the Trump administration and
       their obvious conflict of interests.
       Lauren Pagel of Earthworks Policy commented: [quote]President
       Trump is exploiting a global pandemic to further marginalize
       voices calling for a more just and equitable society. Today's
       Executive Order is another example in far too long a list of how
       this Administration runs roughshod over our basic values: an
       attempt to deliberately silence people in decisions that
       immediately impact their lives.[/quote]
