Lagarde is not worried about losing U.S. leadership, she's worried about losing U.S. wealth from the clutches of multinational masters who need it to advance globalism.

There is a very BIG difference.
Two specific context articles that will help understand where this Legarde narrative stems from.

First:

theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/07/17/gid…
Second:

theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/07/24/mag…
If you read the context of those prior points from July 2019, everything the IMF is saying now makes a lot more sense.

President Trump's "America First" program withdraws U.S. wealth from the global wealth spreading ideologues.

This is the issue for Legard.

How and Why the "republicans" voted, or did not vote, is up to the representatives to explain. But that's the accurate raw vote total as cast by the entire House:

1) I have never seen a group of democrat presidential candidates so thoroughly inept on foreign affairs in the history of Democrat presidential primaries.
2) The number one way to diminish the influence of Vladimir Putin and/or Russia is to drive down the cost of global energy; specifically oil prices.

Two-thirds of Russia's economy is contingent on the price of oil. Take away their money, and you take away their influence.
3) The number one way to diminish the influence of Iran, is to do the same thing as you are doing to Russia.

Both Russia and Iran depend on oil to maintain their influence. That is the BIG PICTURE purpose behind their strategic alliance.

Why do you think Iran attacks oil?

@mercutiax Sorry, you are wrong. Yes, congress can issue subpoenas; however a congressional committee must meet three requirements for their investigative subpoenas to be “legally sufficient”.
@mercutiax First: “the committee’s investigation of the broad subject area must be authorized by its chamber;

Second: “the investigation must pursue “a valid legislative purpose” but does not need to involve legislation and does not need to specify the ultimate intent of Congress;
@mercutiax Third: the specific inquiries must be pertinent to the subject matter area that has been authorized for investigation.

Madame Secretary, "At this point it makes a very big difference.” - The Post & Email thepostemail.com/2019/04/29/mad…
During a January 23, 2013, Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing Hillary Clinton was questioned about the September 11, 2012 bombing of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The transcript of the hearing recorded on C-SPAN shows Sen. Johnson repeatedly asking Clinton about the story coming out of Obama’s White House that the Benghazi attack was a response to protests outside the Consulate and an anti-Islam video posted on YouTube.

How do countries with really high tax revenues (relative to GDP) tax their citizens? Differently than the U.S. does, and much differently than @AOC and @SenWarren have proposed. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
One thing every affluent country taxes more heavily than the U.S. is consumption
U.S. wealth taxes (in the form of real estate taxes) are high by international standards

1) Look at these images:

They were not photoshopped.
2) I've been a transcript team coordinator / editor for over 10 years, editing transcripts of whistle-blowers from inside the MIC (Military-Industrial Complex), each of whom had been authorized to release once-classified info.

So, I've been privy to a lot of good intel.
3) Part of the intel was that part of what took down the WTC towers was some sort of space-based energy weapon that turns solid objects into dust -- and THAT'S what you are seeing in those pics in the OP.

Those pics are from this site:

Folks are lining up for the latest antitrust trial that kicks off this morning over @NCAA rules governing how much student athletes get paid. Stay tuned for live tweets.
Opening arguments should start within the hour. ITMT check out @ZachZagger’s great recap of what’s at stake. law360.com/articles/10743…
The judge is in the courtroom. She says she read each side's opening statements, which were submitted in writing. Just a recap - this is a 10-day bench trial and each side has 22 hours and 30 minutes to argue their case. bit.ly/2LvIeB7

For the last 3 weeks I have both been 1) busy and 2) not deeply fascinated by very many NBER papers. So I've been accumulating reviews for a big #NBERday review-athon TODAY!
So, let's get to it! We will start with papers about the most important and interesting topic and the only one REALLY worth studying if we're being honest.

Migration! #NBERday
Q: If you forcibly remove tens of thousands of "tribal forest dwellers" from India, give'em 5 acres of land and some cash, and make'em live a more modernized life, what happens?

A: They end up a TON richer, especially the least educated ones. #NBERday nber.org/papers/w24423
