Trump, Friedrich Trump Part. 1

Today I’d like to explore a mystery, if you don’t believe that President Donald J. Trump ever lies you may wish to stop right here. Because this post will discuss a lie that he has told for decade, but I think his lies usually have a very good reason behind them.

   Friedrich Trump

 I am always intrigued by cases where the evidence doesn’t add up. Where a player says one thing & does the opposite, and one Trump issue has intrigued me for months.

Why did Donald J. Trump lie about his father’s birthplace & heritage? We can establish that he knew about it, reports say his grandmother Elisabeth took her grandkids to Germany in 1960 to show them the town she & their grandfather came from. Don’t know if he was on that trip but he would certainly be aware of it, the family isn’t that large. He most certainly lied about it for decades and I can’t tell if his new story is true or not.

What was the lie? For decades his father Fred Trump & Donald lied to the world that Donald’s grandfather Friedrich Trump (note I will call DJT’s father Fred & his grandfather Friedrich to keep that clear) came from Sweden not Germany. This lie can be traced back to at least the 1930s or 40s all the way up to it being published in the NY Post in Fred Trump’s obituary in 1999. Now President Trump has abandoned the old lie & is claiming his father Fred was born in Germany. A story the media keeps ‘debunking’ by showing he was born in NYC in 1905.

What I can’t discern is if Trump is now telling the truth, or if he is telling a lie to bring attention to it & make the media fact check & bring attention to the issue. I don’t know if we can ever solve the riddle, but it opens up a bigger puzzle. Why were the Trump’s so set on denying their connections to Germany for so many decades?

The official narrative is that during the rise of the Nazi’s & WWII, the Trump’s claimed Swedish heritage to better do business in NYC especially with Jewish customers. It sounds reasonable, but both Fred Trump & his brother John Trump were doing work for the military & other federal agencies. Would claiming Swedish heritage, while being easily proven to be German make them look suspiciously like German agents hiding their identity?

This lead me to suspect that there was another reason the Trump’s didn’t like or wish to be associated with Germany & Friedrich & Elizabeth Trumps birthplace. Is there a hidden reason why the Trumps would hate Germany enough to disown the country & their heritage publicly? Maybe something tied into the long history of Trump’s helping law enforcement in the United States against criminals & foreign spies. Was Trump’s father Fred actually born in Germany & someone provided the family a false, but official birth certificate to establish him as an American not a German citizen?

Friedrich Trump may have had a very good reason to hate Germany & it’s rulers. He emigrated to the US at 16 after 3 years as a barber’s apprentice. Made his fortune in the US & Canadian gold rush running various restaurants, bars & establishments of ill repute. Some of his properties had to be to the liking of the John D. Rockefeller cartels that were running some of the mining towns he operated in. Friedrich Trump was even elected Justice of the Peace in one of those towns affiliated with Rockefeller, that might be a good friend to have if you want to get involved in New York City real estate…

Friedrich Trump went home to Germany, found a bride & moved her to the United States which she did not like very much. So in 1904, they relocated back to Germany with the equivalent of $500,000 in cash to invest into the German economy.


Because he had left Germany without permission, left before he was old enough to serve in the Kaiser’s military & came back after he was too old to serve, the Bavarian government ordered him deported back to the US. He attempted to stay but in June, Friedrich, his infant daughter, & his pregnant wife (carrying Fred if the timeline is true) headed back to NY. He took his money, opened a barber shop & started developing real estate.

A German-American who was deeply wounded by Germany’s militarism in a city full of German immigrants with mixed loyalties, just as tensions between America & Germany would rise over the next 12 years to war!

So what is really happening?

Many people following the news regarding President Trump & the various stories related to Russian Collusion have not realized that this is only one tiny piece of a larger story. The largest story in modern history in fact. Only be recognizing this larger story can we begin to unravel the mysteries about what is really happening.

Some key areas that I will be addressing in this blog revolve around corruption on a global scale over decades & longer. Corruption that required the cooperation of the global banking industry, politicians, & law enforcement agencies around the world. If politicians write laws that make it hard for law enforcement to discover illicit money transactions, then no one has a motive or the tools to stop the corruption. But over the past few decades, systematic legal changes have occurred in banking & finance that present a unique opportunity to put a stop to it. A storm of epic proportions.

In the past, banking secrecy laws combined with jurisdictions that allowed anonymous shell companies enabled transactions, business, criminal proceeds, bribes, & other funny money to disappear. When a problem was found, the banks would hide behind secrecy laws to protect their customers. Law enforcement may have been able to force a small monetary penalty and a promise to do better in the future, but with little effect.

Breaking this veil of secrecy required insider knowledge, undercover assets that could expose how the money was being laundered, who was laundering it, and evidence it was not just an error but a part of doing business. So who do you get to expose these networks? A businessman with a history of working as an FBI asset, someone with connections to politicians, banks, unions, industries, mobsters, media, celebrities, and many more. Someone who can penetrate the Swamp because there are rumors that he is as swampy as they are…

We are not watching a single story inside the beltway waiting on low level figures to be indicted or arrested. We are watching the entire world order of corrupt officials, bankers, businessmen, law enforcement & intelligence officials being dismantled. What we are seeing on the news everyday, that was mostly designed to distract from the behind the scenes investigations that are not just draining the Swamp in DC, but draining dozens of Swamps around the world. It is also being used to expose corruption, so that voters & politicians have to abandon the corrupt leaders. This empowers honest leaders to take the reins & allow actions & prosecutions that would have been blocked in the past.

I will lead everyone through my understanding of what is going on behind the news. Most people are expecting a big reveal, but I find that unlikely. A single big reveal can be quickly shuffled out of news coverage & ignored. Instead, we will see a thousand little stories, with no one official explaining how those dots fit into the big picture. Stories that require no narrative, because rather than tackling the giant narrative that has already been constructed, corruption will be revealed in small stories that build up the accurate perception that the system was rigged. Rigged to make sure the Swamp & their friends got more than their fair share. I will be pointing out those stories and explaining how they fit into the big picture.

Please join me as I reveal that those who say #ButNothingsHappening are just not paying attention to what is really happening!
