Alternative Visions – The Billionaires Behind The US Presidential Election – 02.19.16
In today’s show host, Jack Rasmus , focuses on who is providing the big
money behind US presidential candidates—Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Clinton, and
Trump. The names of the big right wing donors behind the Republicans
candidates are noted, where they’ve made their billions and how much
they’ve contributed. How the Clinton’s have amassed more than $110
million in assets since 2001, including more than $100million in
speaking fees. Hillary’s billionaire contributors. The legal corruption
of the US election system is explained, including ‘dark money’ from 501
(c) groups that hide their contributors. (see his blog, jackrasmus.com,
for a more detailed analysis of ‘billionaires behind the US election’).
Jack then digresses to comment on the recent death this past week of the
right wing ideologue, Supreme Court justice, Antonin Scalia, whose
legacy includes advancing the corruption of the US electoral system from
Citizens United case to restricting voting rights, and limits on civil
liberties of minorities. At the ‘top of the show’ Jack reviews the
major economic developments of the past week, including actions by
central banks in the Eurozone, Japan and China; prospects for a ‘deal’
on global oil prices between Russia and Saudi Arabia; and the
negotiations in Brussels in progress between the UK’s prime minister,
David Cameron, and the European Union on the coming June 2016 UK
election to decide whether to ‘exit’ the EU or not. Jack concludes the
show with a review of his late 2015 predictions of the ‘fault lines’ in
the global financial system in China, Europe, Emerging Markets, and the
US, which now appear to be emerging as predicted. (see his blog,
jackrasmus.com, for a free chapter from his book, ‘Systemic Fragility in
the Global Economy’, on why China will likely be the locus of the next
financial crisis).
