Cruz: If Obama Can Do It, So Can I
by Diane Kepus
Editor’s Note: We’ve written before about Ted Cruz and His Less Than Desirable “Friends” but here is an in depth examination of the men behind the man.
Recently I was involved in a weekend conference and a very nice young lady heard me in a discussion about Ted Cruz. The young lady being from Texas whispered to me some interesting information so I decided to follow up on it.
Americans, especially in an election cycle should learn from their past mistakes and stop supporting candidates because they talk nice, say the right things or might be handsome or pretty. Research is so very important these days because we have so much to lose with the very strong emphasis on everything being GLOBAL.
Knowing who are backing our candidates, especially with millions of dollars, is an extremely important issue. You must ask yourself if Mr. Brown is giving all this money to Mr. Smith because he likes him or because he wants something from him in return. You can bet your last dollar the latter is the reason. Oh he may like him too, but that is not the primary issue. Money is!
Remember Stephen King’s novel-turned-movie, “IT”, where the yellow-eyed clown appears from the dark recesses of a storm drain and tries to coax little Georgie to come over closer to the storm drain opening so that he can retrieve his paper boat of which the clown now holds out of reach. Georgie hesitates but ignores his gut instinct to run as fast as he can and instead reaches for his paper boat.
It is then that the clown’s voice changes. His yellow fanged snarl reveals what Georgie’s gut instinct had told him – that hidden underneath the cheery painted face was the face of an evil clown. The clown’s razor sharp teeth clamp down on Georgie’s arm in a death grip.
Before we know what is happening, little Georgie is pulled screaming with his legs kicking into the dark abyss of the storm drain. You might want to put yourself in Georgie’s place for a moment because that is where the elite and elected are taking us – into a dark abyss as are some of those running for president.
So why shouldn’t we know who these people are who are supporting the candidates with these millions of dollars? If our candidates cannot place themselves in alignment with decent, respectable Americans than how can we trust them to govern in a decent, respectful manner?
I have already talked about Ted Cruz and his Globalist friend/supporter Robert Mercer who is aiding and abetting Cruz with the ability to create psychological profiles on the American citizens he wishes to target not so much for donations, but for their votes.
Robert Mercer is believed to be the main donor behind a network of four pro-Cruz super PACs that reportedly have raised $47 million as of January 2016.
Cruz used this method to target voters in Iowa by sending letters to voters letting them know how their neighbors had voted in the past and grading them on their votes. What if that was your name on that letter? It is none of your neighbors business how and when you have voted and it’s not Ted Cruz’s either!
Mercer to date is Cruz’s largest contributor and is also the owner of Cambridge Analytica, the very company Cruz paid $750K for psychometric data mining information. Both the funds for Cambridge Analytica and the $500K paid to Carly Fiorina were both paid out of Cruz’s Pac Promise I.
No real admissions from Cruz as to why he paid Fiorina all that money but a good guess would be for her help with data collection since she was chairman of the CIA’s advisory board helping NSA develop privacy invading spy networks on American citizens after 9/11. Hewett Packard supplied the spy hardware and software to NSA.
As Anita Hoge pointed out, “Personally identifiable information collected by the NSA, along with emails, text messages, and phone taps is devious… but add Ted’s psychometrics, and this gives us a pretty good example of how a psych spy network crunches data! And another good look at what Cruz’s administration would be like.
The big question of Ted Cruz should be just how did you collect 500,000 psychometric data points on American citizens?
Step in Gene Phillips of Dallas, Texas known as one of the Texas’ real estate baron’s. Great title and good money – that is if you have come by it legally which for most of his life Phillips has not. Seventy-seven year old Phillips has long been one of the most controversial figures in publicly traded real estate. Best remembered as the head of Southmark Corp., a Dallas real-estate conglomerate that collapsed in 1989 in a swirl of lawsuits was one of the larger Savings & Loan Rackets.
On December, 2015 Phillips held a large fund raising event for Ted Cruz. Co-hosts were Lindy “Buddy” Pilgrim, former Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks, former state representative and Dallas County Republican Party Chairman Kenn George, businessman Carl Westcott and tax consultant Brint Ryan.
When news broke of Charles Keating’s arrest and indictment for fraud just after the 1988 presidential election, Americans learned for the first time of the crimes that had pervaded the S&L industry for nearly eight years. Gene Phillips was in the middle of it with both feet and then some and has continued to deal in his real estate scams for years.
So Cruz, why are you associating with this man?
Phillips was an associate of Charles Keating in the Keating Five S&L swindle.
Phillips owned Southmark Corp. and its subsidiary, Jacinto Savings and Loan in Houston, Texas. Keating, who had met Phillips through Michael Milken, loaned $129 million to Southmark Corp. (vastly exceeding the loans-to-one-borrower [LTOB] limit) in late 1985 and early 1986. In January 1986 Southmark Corp.in turn loaned a Keating enterprise $35 million. At the same time, Keating and Phillips exchanged about $246 million in existing mortgages, booking $12 million in accounting profits from the swaps. When Phillips Southmark Corp. went bankrupt in this deal 14 S&L’s went bankrupt in Texas.
MDC would sell Southmark Corp of Dallas a piece of real estate in Denver that was worth only $10 million. Gene Phillips Southmark Corp. would hold it for about six months. At that time, they would claim that it had doubled in value, and he would then sell it to Charlie Keating’s American Continental Corp. After another six months had passed, American Continental would double its value through falsified appraisals.
Ted Cruz, why are you using this man as a fund raiser?
At that time, they would claim that it had doubled in value, and he would then sell it to Charlie Keating’s American Continental Corp. After another six months had passed, American Continental would double its value through falsified appraisals. They would sell that same piece of real estate to Silverado. Then Silverado would again sell it to a subsidiary of Southmark (Gene Phillips). Then Gene Phillips would sell it to Lincoln Savings. And then Lincoln Savings would sell it to Silverado Elektra. This is how the circle of fraud worked. Billions of dollars of land transactions were done this way.
This whole financial scam/fraud was named the Junk Bond Daisy Chain Frauds. The Bush Family Trust was a substantial shareholder in Southmark Corp.
Ted Cruz, why are you associating with this man?
Phillips with all his years of shifty real-estate and land deals has never spent on day in jail and has always been allowed to file bankruptcy, wait a few years and start all over again. He currently is serving as an advisory source to Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. which is a Dallas based real-estate management company handling in excess of $2.5 billion in public and private entities. Phillips was considered one of the central players in the entire Milken marauders apparatus.
Oh, his connection to the Bush family? Gene Phillips was also a close associate and fund raiser for Bush campaigns.
2000 – Phillips on a roll! Not unlike his financial “godfather” Michael Milken, and his partner in real estate and S&L scammer.
Ted Cruz why are you associating with this Phillips person? I know there are some people who will not agree with me, but I see Heidi and Ted Cruz as the Republican version of the Clintons. There is far too much back door stuff along with tongue twisting to the important questions.
This past December, the Marshall Report published an article called “Time to Meet the Cruzes”. Coming to the realization sometime back that the reason our government is NOT closing the borders is because of the North American Union (NAU) plans of which I am sure by now you know Heidi Cruz, was sitting on the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and played an important role in the NAU document.
Ted Cruz has said his wife gave a dissenting statement and as I read it, I see absolutely nothing “dissenting” about it. Cruz has also chosen not to answer the question as to where he stands on the NAU. Heidi Cruz’s Task Force statement:
“I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable role in both regards we must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives sourcing capital and producing results like financial markets and profit making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us – truly the measure of our success. As such, investment funds and financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants.”
Does anyone reading this honestly see any dissenting remarks? Anything being said negatively regarding the Task Forces work?
Does anyone remember it was another Council on Foreign Relations Task Force in March, 2012 in which co-chair mouthpieces Condoleezza Rice and Joe Klein who stated in their published report ‘The United States’ failure to educate its students leaves us unprepared to compete and threatens the country’s ability to thrive in a global economy and maintain its leadership role. Presenting a list of changes, one among them was for the CFR to take over the control of our children’s education.
How many parents reading this understand the Federal government needs to get OUT of the BUSINESS of education and allow local school districts and parents to make the needed decisions in regard to their children’s education? In fact, if the individual states would stop sending our tax dollars to the Fed’s, they would have more money than they would know what to do with – let them keep their grants and unconstitutional legislation.
You see the major problem we have here is the really important questions are not being asked by news media reporters who are following the instructions of the elite. American citizens should be the ones being allowed to control the debates – you want our votes, you answer our questions!
Let me introduce another questionable individual in the lives of the Cruzes. Meet former Ambassador Robert B. Zoellick, former U.S. Trade Representative (2001-05) of whom Heidi Cruz was his Special Assistant in D.C. He is a former deputy secretary of state (05-06), president of the World Bank (07-12), WH Chief of Staff (92-93) and vice chairman of Goldman Sachs (2006-2007).
He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, as well as the Trilateral Commission, and was one of the signers of the January 26, 1998, Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
Signer’s to this document were several leaders of the emerging neoconservative movement, including Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Bill Kristol. The following year the same group sent a letter to Bill Clinton calling for the ouster of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Neither America nor the United Nations should be making the decisions regarding what leaders are to be the leaders of any country of our world. I wouldn’t want another country or the United Nations deciding who should be the leader of my country.
In an October 2007 speech to the National Press Club, Zoellick stated that “we are working with our Board to significantly step up our assistance to the international efforts to address climate change … so that we can meet the challenge of climate change without slowing the growth that will help overcome poverty. Now Climate change is going to get rid of poverty!
In the 2000 presidential election campaign, Zoellick served as a foreign policy advisor to George W. Bush as part of a group led by Condoleezza Rice, which called itself “The Vulcans”. James Baker designated him as his second-in-command — “a sort of chief operating officer or chief of staff” — in the 36-day battle over recounting the vote in Florida.
The name “The Vulcans” alludes to a huge statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and metalworking, in Rice’s home town of Birmingham, Alabama.
Ted Cruz’s accusations of the GOP establishment leadership of placing “hit pieces with journalists only too happy to cooperate” on him is beginning to sound a little like Hillary with her “right wing conspiracy” theme of whining.
For me, Mr. Cruz and his wife are Globalists – you do not surround yourself with this many people who believe in globalization and not agree with them. You just don’t answer the questions asked about it.
