Give Back to Caesar What is Caesar's

Give Back to Caesar What is Caesar’s

By Cliff Kincaid

Elon Musk is right about the Trump-backed “One Big Beautiful” bill being a fiscal disaster. If President Trump continues down this path of more federal spending, deficits, and debt, America is finished. The only way out is an alternative monetary system. Perhaps this is Trump’s plan, for his own family members are heavily invested in the crypto currency business.

Trump is a smart businessman who understands that America is going bankrupt and there is nothing he can or will do about it. He has accepted the reality of American socialism.

Our only hope is in the Senate, which must debate and consider whether to pass the bill that came out of the “Republican” House. Senator Ron Johnson opposes the “ugly” bill.

The Swamp has not only captured Trump, in terms of Big Government, but Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, is under their sway. He attacked American-style capitalism during his inaugural Mass in St. Peter’s Square before tens of thousands of people, including state guests, on Sunday, May 18. He denounced “an economic paradigm that exploits the Earth’s resources and marginalizes the poorest.” 

The Jesuit publication, ironically named America Magazine, wonders if Leo XIV is “An American pope for the end of American empire?” This “American” pope didn’t even mention the home of his birth, and never spoke English, in his first remarks as pope.

But at that inaugural mass, he let loose, attacking capitalism.

Notably, he said nothing about the dangers of global Islam or international communism.

During a recent broadcast of my Rumble show, Dr. Matthew Bunson discussed his new book, LEO XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope, and whether financial considerations played a role in his appointment. We were talking about the future of  capitalism on a global scale, but also the domestic American scene, because of Americans not contributing to the Roman Catholic Church.

American church attendance is declining in many Western countries, especially the United States, with the Vatican’s annual operating deficit growing to over $90 million in 2023. It has an unfunded pension liability believed to be more than $2 billion.

Those are peanuts compared to America’s bleak financial picture, and perhaps this is why President Trump is personally invested in the success of the $TRUMP meme coin, with China-born crypto entrepreneur and billionaire Justin Sun one of its largest holders. It is one of several crypto currency ventures that Trump and his sons have pursued.

If you simply Google the name “Justin Sun,” you will soon discover that he is under investigation for alleged  crimes.  Yet, he has a relationship with President Trump and his family. 

If the debasement of the American dollar is the plan, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent knows a lot about it, having served billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros when he specialized in subverting the currencies of nations, causing economic disruptions and even a financial crash, as they did in 2007-2008, paving the way for Barack Hussein Obama to assume power. 
​
The 2007-09 economic crisis became known as “the Great Recession.” It was regarded as the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression, instigated by a housing crisis exploited by hedge fund short sellers. We have never recovered from it.

Soros wants to phase out the U.S. dollar as the international reserve currency and bring the U.S. into a system of international socialism, with new and more powerful global agencies deciding our economic and financial fate. That seems to be the Pope’s plan and the “One Big Beautiful” bill will drive us toward that outcome, unless it is stopped in the Senate.

In his column, “The Ugly Truth About the ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’” Senator Ron Johnson writes that “Under every scenario now being considered, federal debt continues to skyrocket from its current level of almost $37 trillion,” with total debt of approximately $59 trillion in 2035.

Senator Johnson has a plan to avoid this catastrophe. Until it is adopted, America will face financial ruin.

Members of Trump’s MAGA movement do not begrudge Trump and his family members making money from an alternative monetary system. The president hosted a black-tie dinner at his Virginia golf club for 220 investors who had given $148 million to his crypto venture.

But when a Chinese billionaire is given such access, and the American billionaire Elon Musk leading the effort to cut federal spending sours on the president’s fiscal plan for the nation, members of MAGA have a right to be concerned, even angry, about the direction of America.

The Trump relationship with Justin Sun is fodder for an impeachment inquiry.  This time, it could be for real. And if Trump goes down, America could go down with him. ​
