57 The Real Game of Missing Money X. Fortress America (November 16, 2016– May 2017) “The two candidates that we have just had offered to us in this election, both of them made comments and one of them had a profession that dictated this…that they were going to continue to play by that playbook. Now one wonders what one of them is going to do because he [Trump] is bouncing all over the place. Is he going to rewrite the playbook? Is he going to play by the playbook? Is he going to throw it out the door? What’s going to happen? That uncertainty cer- tainly unnerved the markets initially, they recovered today. And they will continue to recover as long as he remains somewhat conciliatory and doesn’t look like he is going to throw the playbook out. Just imagine if he suddenly decided that he would and it might be beneficial to the country that he did. Then you see what I am talking about now because the markets will go all over the place again. Because the markets are part of this state. The markets are part of waging war. They are part of the warfare state. Our entire financial system now is geared to this warfare state. It has an umbilical cord extending from it. That’s how it survives. That’s how it makes a lot of its profits…directly or indirectly. Not for nothing was HSBC found out for laundering drugs. You know where a lot of those drugs were coming from? …Afghanistan. This is a vicious many-headed animal that we have allowed to grow up–as Eisenhower predicted–and if we are not careful it is going to eat all of our lunches before it is through with us.” ~ Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, during the 2016 election R eturning to the United States after the election, I dove into the publication of the 2016 Annual Wrap Up – Global Harvest and What It Means to Investors. I was and am convinced that the politics of food are going to grow steadily more important and powerful. I wanted to make sure our subscribers understood the chang- es underway and were prepared to ensure that they and their family secured quality food supplies over the next two decades and adjusted their investments accordingly. I then published the 1st Quarter 2017 Wrap Up – The Clash of Civilizations on whether the new Administration could address the fundamental problems facing the United States—including the missing money.
