according to the mainstream media, in a recent speech in west palm beach, donald trump finally completely lost it. sawing the air with his tiny hands in a unmistakeably hitlerian manner, he spat out a series of undeniably hateful anti-semitic code words <u+2026> like <u+201c>political establishment,<u+201d> <u+201c>global elites<u+201d> and, yes, <u+201c>international banks.<u+201d> he even went so far as to claim that <u+201c>corporations<u+201d> and their (ahem) <u+201c>lobbyists<u+201d> have millions of dollars at stake in this election, and are trying to pass the ttp, not to benefit the american people, but simply to enrich themselves. he then went on to accuse the media of collaborating with <u+201c>the clinton machine,<u+201d> presumably to benefit these <u+201c>global elites<u+201d> and <u+201c>international banks<u+201d> and <u+201c>lobbyists.<u+201d> 




now, a lot of folks didn<u+2019>t immediately recognize the secret meanings of these fascistic code words, and so mistakenly assumed that <u+201c>global elites<u+201d> referred to the transnational capitalist ruling classes, and that <u+201c>lobbyists<u+201d> referred to actual lobbyists, and that <u+201c>banks<u+201d> meant <u+2026> well <u+2026> you know, banks. as it turned out, this was completely wrong. none of these words actually meant what they meant, not in anti-semitic codespeak. so the mainstream media translated for us. <u+201c>political establishment<u+201d> meant <u+201c>the jews.<u+201d> <u+201c>global elites<u+201d> also meant <u+201c>the jews.<u+201d> <u+201c>banks<u+201d> meant <u+201c>jews.<u+201d> <u+201c>lobbyists<u+201d> meant <u+201c>jews.<u+201d> even <u+201c>corporate<u+2026>
