Don Juan Goldcardman signed an executive order and created a Five Mill Gold Card. I suspect he will put up Golden Card Wise Guys at the Washington D.C. Post Office that he got his goldfinger touch on awhile back. DJ wanted to build a huge hotel in Moscow so he can get at rich Russian Oligarchs and do
THE ART OF THE GOLDEN DEAL
I am the PRESIDENT OF OCCUPY! I declared myself thus in a series of Facebook posts. I think I know where they are. No one could object after I asked if there was a rule about having a president. There wasn’t one. I called myself a OCCUPY PROPHET. See post below.
Everything resembles a Ian Fleming book.
John Presco JBA ‘President of OCCUPY
When I went to that Occupy Eugene meeting dressed like Santa Claus, I came baring a gift – THE PERFECT PLACE TO OCCUPY! But, the Group Grope was not ready for that. We were in the I GOT FEELINGS TOO stage, which as usual was Highly Specialized. I suspected the core group had already picked the perfet spot weeks ago, but, kept it a secret unless someone try to talk them out of it – in a selfish manner!
“I’ll be back!” I said at the mic. “When you’re ready to put your finger on the map!”
“It’s somewhat like a green card, but at a higher level of sophistication,” the president said. “It’s a road to citizenship for people — and essentially people of wealth or people of great talent, where people of wealth pay for those people of talent to get in, meaning companies will pay for people to get in and to have long, long term status in the country.”
“Companies can buy gold cards and, in exchange, get those visas to hire new employees,” Trump said. Despite similar programs already occurring outside the U.S., he insisted, “No other country can do this because people don’t want to go to other countries. They want to come here.”
“Everybody wants to come here, especially since Nov. 5,” he said of his Election Day victory last fall.
“If we sell a million, that’s $5 trillion dollars,” he said. Of the demand from the business community to participate, he said “I think we will sell a lot because I think there’s really a thirst.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Businesses tied to Republican former U.S. President Donald Trump received at least $7.8 million in foreign payments from 20 countries during his four years in the White House, Democratic congressional investigators said Thursday.
I am…The Postal God of Mail! Due to the alleged Rightful President of the United States breaking the Constitution when he wooed foreigners to his Postal Hotel, I’m launching a suit against The Believer’s of Trump, because they are financially libel. They continue to ask for money claiming he did not lose the election. I was going to fashion white wings for my feet, but I want to be Americas First National Deity. I want big white wings on my back, and a limousine to take me from one Post Office to the next in my cross country tour!
NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles joined MSNBC’s Chris Jansing on Thursday to discuss the new report from House Democrats detailing how former President Donald Trump profited from foreign governments while president, which they allege was unconstitutional.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a 155-page report on Thursday showing Trump and his businesses received at least $7.8 million from 20 foreign governments including China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar while he was president.
On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump took to Fox Business Network to say the quiet part out loud: He is holding up funding of the U.S. Postal Service because “that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting because they’re not equipped to have it.”
Take back our Post Offices! Evict Von Trump from the Washington Post Office! Our Founding Fathers created a National Post Office so Revolutionaries could continue to send, and receive, sacred literature and newspapers so that they can continue to proclaim Liberty! Here is our Jerusalem where our words of Liberty and Freedom can be cherished – FOREVER and FOREVER!
On this day, I declare a National Jubilee that will give every American Voter a Thousand Dollar Voting Bonus!
Down with the Corporate Boss City-States! Donate the Bonus’s the Fraudsters gave you, and purchase this Beautiful Tower of the Bells – FOR WE THE PEOPLE!
The Constitution’s Postal Clause grants Congress power to “establish Post Offices and Post Roads.” There is a fascinating history behind that provision, which I explore in a new article linked here.
Some of the highlights:
* Although the Founders generally favored free enterprise over state-owned business, they made an exception for postal services.
* As understood at the time, a postal system included not only letter and parcel delivery, but freight delivery, official dispatches, and transportation over a system of “post roads.”
* The power to “establish . . . post Roads” included authority to build the roads, not just designate existing roads (as some have thought). The power included authority to condemn private property for road construction and widening (eminent domain).
* The North American colonial postal service was a branch of the British imperial royal post. Ben Franklin, the first American postmaster general, had served in the imperial system for many years. When the United States became independent, Americans’ instinct was to copy British postal policies.
* A “post road” was not defined as any road over which the mail was carried, as many have believed. Rather, a post road was a highway punctuated with stations called “posts”—much like a modern Interstate highway. The posts were places for the exchange of letters, rental of horses and vehicles, production of newspapers, and rest and refreshment at inns and taverns. The term “post roads” does not come from the mail. Just the opposite: The term “post” for the mail comes from fact that the mail traveled over post roads.
* The postal system was not initially for the benefit the general public. It was a way to transmit government messages, accommodate government couriers, and for the government to spy on travelers and correspondence and otherwise collect information. In Britain, and initially some of the colonies, if you wanted to travel the post road you had to sign up with the government. Government officials opened private mail in both Britain and America. The postal system was said to benefit trade and commerce, but the government suppressed any efforts by merchants to erect competing systems.
* The history of the Postal Clause gives us a somewhat different glimpse of the Founders generally and of some (such as Benjamin Franklin) specifically—a glimpse that is not always in keeping with our admiration of them. It reminds us that they were human, and among their many virtues were some human flaws.
Legal challenges associated with Trump’s presidency[edit]
After Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States, the Trump International Hotel became the focus of legal controversy.[150] World leaders stated Trump was encouraging emissaries to stay at Trump hotels while visiting.[151]
On June 14, 2017, lead by SenatorRichard Blumenthal and RepresentativeJohn Conyers, Jr., more than a third of the voting members of Congress filed a lawsuit alleging violations of the Foreign Emoluments Clause seeking the right to be informed of and approve of gifts from foreign governments before they are received.[157] The lawsuit makes specific allegations concerning attempts to solicit foreign governments at the Old Post Office building.[158]
The Trump Organization’s lease contract with the U.S. General Services Administration, signed in 2013, provides that “no elected official of the government … shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise therefrom.”[150] In a letter to the GSA, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington wrote: “Elected government officials are barred from receiving any benefit under the lease, and now that Mr. Trump has been sworn in today as President of the United States, Trump Old Post Office LLC, a company he largely owns, is in violation of the lease’s conflicts-of-interest provision.”[150] Since Trump’s election as president, Democrats have taken the position he “must fully divest himself of all financial interests in the lease to be in compliance with the legal agreement.”[159] In February 2017, Senators Tom Carper and Claire McCaskill (the Democratic ranking members of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and its Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, respectively) wrote a letter to the GSA inspector general, writing: “Since President Trump took the oath of office, the Trump Old Post Office, LLC appears to be in breach of the plain language of the lease agreement.” They requested an inspector general inquiry.[159] In March 2017 the GSA announced that they considered the tenant of the property to be in full compliance with the terms of the lease, following a reorganization of the hotel’s organizational structure and the placing of the property in a revocable trust.[160] On August 30, 2017, Bloomberg BNA reported that both the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the GSA Inspector General’s Office of Inspections had confirmed that they were evaluating GSA’s management and administration of the lease.[161]
The President responded to the emolument clause allegations by outlining a plan where payments from foreign guests would be paid into the U.S. Treasury and to the GSA contract issues by placing his holdings into a trust directed by his children. This plan was criticized by Walter M. Shaub, the Director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, who stated that “the plan does not comport with the tradition of our Presidents over the past 40 years” and was at odds with past practice, since “…every President in modern times has taken the strong medicine of divestiture.”[162]
One of the Bells of Congress hanging in the clock tower of the Old Post Office Building (2012)
The Old Post Office Building’s 315-foot (96 m) Clock Tower is the third-highest building in Washington, D.C., after the Washington Monument and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.[163] The tower’s 270-foot-high (82 m) observation deck offers panoramic views of the city and its surroundings.[9][163] The tower includes an exhibit depicting the building’s long struggle for survival and a view of the interior workings of the illuminated clock.[15]
The Clock Tower houses the Bells of Congress (also known as the Ditchley Bells), which the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast and are replicas of bells in Westminster Abbey.[164] Sir David Wills, who had founded England‘s Ditchley Foundation, donated the bells to the United States in commemoration of the nation’s 1976 Bicentennial.[164][165] However, the bells were not brought to the United States and installed in the Clock Tower until 1983.[164]
The 10-bell peal consists of bells ranging from 300 to 3,000 pounds (140 to 1,360 kg) and from 2 to 4.5 feet (0.61 to 1.37 m) in diameter.[164] Their composition is 78 percent copper and 22 percent tin.[164] Each bell features the Great Seal of the United States, the Great Seal of the Realm, and an image of the flower London Pride in relief.[166] Because the tower was not designed to hold bells, the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and the structural engineering firm Cagley & Associates were hired to modify the tower so that it could accommodate the weight of the bells and the stress of their swings.[24]
The Washington Ringing Society sounds the Bells of Congress every Thursday evening and on special occasions.[164] The official bells of the United States Congress, they are one of the largest sets of change ringing bells in North America.[164] Tower visitors can see the colored ropes that the bell-ringers pull to sound the bells but not the bells themselves, although plans are in the works to open a viewing area for the bells as well.[167]
Prior to the 2014 renovation, National Park Service rangers provided tours of the Clock Tower.[167] After stopping for three years during the tower’s renovation, the ranger tours resumed in February 2017.[167]
Yesterday I suggested the New Patriot Women’s Union take the old post office in Washington, and give it back to the people. Today, a law suit was filed to do just that! Folks laughed at Old Uncle Samaclaus, and said he was cracked. Look who is smiling ear to ear! Let the NPWU form the People’s Patriotic Bank and get ready to receive Trump’s Folly – and Waterloo! Encircle this hotel and make him cry “UNCLE!”
“Donald Trump just attacked the Press, and Crowd Size, at CIA headquarters. His press guy just held his first conference and attacked the Press – and Crowd Size! How many forums does this megalomania need to declare War on Women, and everyone that did not vote for him? We the People pay taxes for these podiums. His people went after the Park Services. Their Hotel may go against the Constitution. Let us concentrate on Trump Castle. Let’s see it as America’s Bastille. Let’s go for the Post Offices on Lincoln’s birthday.”
Red, white and blue balloons rained down over crystal chandeliers in the soaring atrium of the Trump International Hotel at midnight in “a new inaugural tradition,” its social media account promised.
But while President Donald Trump’s hotel in Washington did serve as a hub of Friday’s inaugural activities, it also stands as ground zero for what top Democrats and some ethics advisers see as his unique web of conflicts of interest.
A liberal watchdog group says it plans to file a lawsuit against President Trump in federal court on Monday alleging that he is in violation of a little-known constitutional provision that bars him from taking gifts or payments from foreign governments.
The group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said that because Trump-owned buildings take in rent, room rentals and other payments from foreign governments, the president has breached the Emoluments Clause. That clause in the Constitution says that “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” It was written out of fear that the young republic’s leaders or ambassadors could be bought off by a richer European power.
The meaning of those words has never truly been tested in court. The watchdog group says the text should be interpreted to mean that Trump’s businesses should cease all business dealings with foreign states.
The clause, the legal complaint says, “is no relic of a bygone era, but rather an expression of insight into the nature of the human condition and the preconditions of self-governance. And applied to Donald J. Trump’s diverse dealings, the text and purpose of the Foreign Emoluments Clause speak as one: this cannot be allowed.” The group provided The Washington Post with a copy of the complaint, which has not yet been filed.
The group’s proposed lawsuit was first reported Sunday afternoon by the New York Times.
Belle Burch and I would have made great allies in that we were both advocates for the homeless. That’s my yellow Toyota in the pictures taken at OCCUPY Eugene. I love the child wondering about the make your own sign station. Consider Pan’s Labyrinth…
“There will be signs!”
The gentleman that came up and played is acordian in Kesey Square, approached me a year or so earlier at OCCUPY the market and we improvised a song. Before OCCUPY I came up with an idea on saving the Post Office that would give the homeless a place to sit. Hollis was sitting at a MX station listening to the World Series, when the MX cop told him to move. This is a Vet who had nowhere listen to America’s Game.
What I suggested was putting down a blanket on the Post Office grounds and selling used donated items. This would be a Trading Post, and American idea. I talked to a fellow hippie who made crafts, and he told me he went to court for the right to sell on the street. As long as his items were on the blanket, it was legal. I this video you see an OCCUPY person and Belle talking to a homeless person, or two. We talk to accordion music. There are some photos from Hollis’s memorial thrown in.
Belle and I exchanged e-mails, and she is overwhelmed as I knew she would be the day we met. This is why I ran away from her. We have reached an agreement, and now our story can truly begin. It is fate the accordian player is in our movie. He is a Pied Piper.
What is scaring Belle is she can not believe I am for real. I mean, here is this old dude that looks like Santa Claus giving her a blue bicycle that is almost brand new! What gives?
Several years ago I declared myself the President of OCCUPY on Vickie Nelson’s facebook. Someone said they do not have leaders. I asked if there was a rule against having a leader. The answer was “no”. I will have episodes abut OCCUPY in my series ‘Presidential Prophet’.
Above is a photo of me at the second Eugene OCCUPY meeting, dressed as Uncle Samaclaus. I am telling people the conservatives are trying to take away the social safety net, and other giveaway programs, therefore it is TIME to push these programs – real hard – because the People want to hurt the Wall Street Rich. Instead, they went with a alternative charity program for the homeless. I pleaded with them not to do this, because MY PLAN would have the government take care of them – along with others! I watched our support dissolve overnight! Empowering a couple thousand homeless people – who do not pay taxes – is not empowering taxpayers whose money – IS CHARITY. Only a handful of moron wanted to look like GIVERS! Disaster! The public were treated to bad videos of Alley Valkyrie high on LSD and meth!
Occupy Eugene got it all wrong – but this is a good thing! Now WE know exactly what not to do!
When I went to that Occupy Eugene meeting dressed like Santa Claus, I came baring a gift – THE PERFECT PLACE TO OCCUPY! But, the Group Grope was not ready for that. We were in the I GOT FEELINGS TOO stage, which as usual was Highly Specialized. I suspected the core group had already picked the perfet spot weeks ago, but, kept it a secret unless someone try to talk them out of it – in a selfish manner!
“I’ll be back!” I said at the mic. “When you’re ready to put your finger on the map!”
