    Trump's interest in doing business in Russia was first piqued in 1986, when he met the Soviet ambassador Yuri Dubinin and they began discussing building a "large luxury hotel across the street from the Kremlin in partnership with the Soviet government," as Trump recounted in his 1987 book, "The Art of the Deal." Trump traveled to Russia in 1987 to survey potential locations for his hotel as landmark policies like perestroika and glasnost made the Soviet Union more open to foreign investments. Trump went back to Russia in 1996 and announced a plan to invest $250 million in Russian real estate and slap his name on two luxury residential buildings.Trump boasted about his plan when he met the Russian politician Aleksandr Lebed in New York in 1997, telling Lebed, "We are actually looking at something in Moscow right now ... Only quality stuff. And we're working with the local government, the mayor of Moscow, and the mayor's people. So far, they've been very responsive Trump began seeing significant returns from Russian investments in US properties bearing the Trump name in the 2000s. A Reuters investigation last in 2017 found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, for instance.Reuters noted that its tally of Russian investors may be conservative. At least 703 - or about one-third - of the owners of the 2,044 units in the seven Trump buildings are limited liability companies, or LLCs, which have the ability to hide the identity of a property's true owner. In the mid-2000s, the Trump Organization partnered with a company called the Bayrock Group, contracting it to pursue a development deal in Moscow. This effort was led by the Russian-born businessman Felix Sater, a man Trump lied about even knowing, and who's become a key figure in Mueller's investigation and Cohen's plea deal. At a 2008 conference, Trump Jr. also said, "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets." In the 18 months prior to the conference, Trump Jr. made six trips to Russia. In 2013, Trump traveled to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant. During the visit, he said, "I have plans for the establishment of business in Russia. Now, I am in talks with several Russian companies to establish this skyscraper."In 2015 and 2016, Cohen and Sater teamed up in an attempt to put up a Trump Tower in Moscow. Cohen said discussions on the plan lasted until June 2016, which was after Trump had clinched the GOP nomination for president.Cohen was in touch with the office of Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary over the matter, which reportedly included a plan to offer Putin a $50 million penthouse in the tower.

    Most of us believe that the seat of power is in the fancy government buildings. But the facts are quite different. It begins with the manufacture of money because money affords you the ability to collapse the economy, and thereby take control of corporations on pennies on the dollar. Most of our money today consist of signed promissory notes that banks have acquire for free. During the 1800s the courts said that “AN UNCONDITIONAL PROMISE TO PAY IS CASH”. This was an effort to make gold certificates legally valid. But the banks took it a step further. The public go into a bank looking for credit to buy a house. What the bank does is to take their promissory note deposit it in a transaction account where it is converted into an expendable note in the form of a check. Imagine, if you will, that in every bank foreclosure the bank gets an absolutely free house, or that all our federal income tax revenues goes to this secret cabal by way of getting free treasury securities. Otherwise exactly how does the base money aggregate pays for 21 trillion dollar of suppose treasury securities? The cabal does not pay for anything but they have all the control. Subsequently this secret banking cabal who are behind the government control transportation, the gas you pay at the pump. They control the economy, education, the food supply, jobs, the judicial, the military, the entire voting process through television, the health industry. It appears that on March of 1915 they began to take over the news sources. Walk into any modern city and the financial district. You are looking at the seat of power. The fancy buildings and offices are what controls the city. These corporations are homologous and follow the dictate of shareholders from Super Entities. Look closely at these financial centers because it is they who make the important laws. The pet projects of this cabal is the implementation of total private bank control of the manufacture of the world's money. The expansion of Israel and subduing states that they may be in conflict with. The populace are like cattle arguing about capitalism vs socialism, gold vs fiat currency, and the sex and racial exploits of politicians. Their shoe laces tied to each other stumbling every which way and are led to argue about nearly irrelevant events. You may believe that this post is an exaggeration but the truth is worse than what is said here. Education rarely touches on the person behind the curtain.

    Se7ensnakes, you hit the nail on the head. I wish more people understood this. So the never ending question is "what the hell can we do about it?" That Q psyop is creating more division than uniting. I wish people would get away from partisan and polarizing politics so they could see the entire truth. And now Trump is allowing more monopolies, which consolidates their power even more. Now AT&T merger with Time Warner. If the government (Trump) allows this to happen, we will know what side he is on.

    Tim - I'd imagine Trump will be suing you again. For your sake, I hope you have the Epstein quote on video, or at least, audio. Side note - You have no idea how Real Estate works. With regard to taxes, deflation, market fluctuations, etc. Attempting to apply a net worth to someone whose assets are mainly Real Estate, is nearly impossible, but you should assume that it's very high, if they chose to sell at the right time with a favorable deal.

    Let me expand your bumper sticker for you: The special counsel has declined to suggest an indictment on charges of collusion, either because there is insufficient evidence to prove it in court, or because the special counsel believes that DOJ policy against indicting a sitting president should apply. This is according to the Attorney General's summary of a report that no one outside the DOJ has seen.

    says who? The Mueller's report never used those words 'NO COLLUSION". The only reason that Trump is not in jail is because a sitting president cannot be charged for a crime until he leave office. We are all patient - we can wait.
