Howard Lutnick is a businessman who raised at least $85 million for Trump's campaign and supported Trump due to his strong allegiance to Israel. Lutnick is the head of Cantor Fitzgerald that lost 658 employees on 9/11, yet he was not in the building as he decided to take his son to kindergarten on that day. He owns the home next door to the Jeffrey Epstein mansion in Manhattan, and his home was also previously owned by Les Wexner. Lutnick's company, Cantor Fitzgerald, is involved in carbon markets and monitoring all real world assets. Cantor was recently revealed to be a 5% owner of Tether, a stablecoin cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar, after a $600 million investment.

Lutnick will oversee the approval of the export of sensitive technology of national security interest abroad, negotiate free trade agreements, and oversee the patents office. He has potential conflicts of interest regarding cryptocurrency.

According to the Jewish Daily Forward, billionaire Howard Lutnick, 63, raised $75 million for Trump's campaign, in addition to the $10 million he personally donated. While Lutnick gave to Trump in past election cycles, his enthusiasm for the former president soared this year because of Israel. "That was huge to me," he said.

Lutnick has supported Jewish causes for many years. At a Trump rally in 2024, Lutnick yelled, "We must elect Donald J. Trump president because we must crush jihad!"

He is a donor to United Hatzalah, a Jerusalem-based Israeli emergency medical response group. Max Blumenthal exposed United Hatzalah following the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, for fabricating atrocities to increase financial donations: "United Hatzalah has spun out bogus tales of babies bakes in ovens as it closes in on a $50 million fundraising goal."

Lutnick has also helped to fund Israel in its war on Gaza, according to Whitney Webb.

9/11
On Sept. 11, 2001, Lutnick was CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, a company that does trillions of dollars of bond market trades daily and who made its New York headquarters in the North Tower of the World Trade Center, on floors 101 to 105. The 9/11 implosions killed 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees. Lutnick himself survived because he took his son to his first day of kindergarten that day before going to work.

At a recent Trump rally, Lutnick claimed that his company gave $180 million to support the families of the deceased employees. However, The Forward reported that several 9/11 widows said their husband's paychecks had stopped coming just days after the attack.

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and 'Little Red'
Howard Lutnick gave Ferguson an office on the 101st floor of the World Trade Center as a headquarters for her charity, Chances for Children. It is quite a coincidence that both Lutnick and Ferguson were not in the building when it was collapsed.

Sarah Ferguson revealed she was meant to be in the World Trade Center's North Tower when the plane struck the building, but she claims she had been in an interview that had run late and was still enroute in a car when the buildings imploded. She claims that her charity's mascot doll, Little Red, was found in the rubble and was later on show at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The doll was originally made for a child named PJ who survived the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombings.

Somehow, the doll "came down through the rubble and landed fully intact." This seems implausible, similar to finding hijackers' passports in the rubble.

Jeffrey Epstein
Interestingly, Sarah, Duchess of York, knew Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender very well. She went into debt after her divorce from Prince Andrew in 1996 and owed her former personal assistant, Johnny O'Sullivan over $100,000 in salary. According to SheKnows, Ferguson turned to Epstein to help settle the issue and he restructured her debt, got O'Sullivan to agree to a $20,000 settlement and Epstein paid off her tab. The entire deal was arranged by Ferguson's ex, Prince Andrew. The Prince gave a devastating interview about his relationship with Epstein in 2019.

Jeffrey Epstein lived in the mansion at 9 East 71st Street in Manhattan where sexual abuse of girls was filmed for the purpose of blackmail, according to reports. The mansion had previously been owned by billionaire Les Wexner who owned Victoria's Secret and other companies. The home was transferred into a trust controlled by Epstein. Wexner was Epstein's money-management "main client."

Howard Lutnick bought the home next door to Epstein that had also been previously owned by Les Wexner for "10 dollars and other valuable consideration" and Lutnick took out a $4 million mortgage on the property the same day the sale was made.

In 2015, Lutnick held a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton next door to Epstein's house.

Please read Whitney Webb's article, Howard Lutnick and the Commandeering of the Department of Commerce, for full details about the points summarized in this section.  https://thealtworld.com/whitney_webb/howard-lutnick-and-the-commandeering-of-the-department-of-commerce

Lutnick has been a major supporter of Trump's extensive tariff regime in lieu of income tax. Lutnick will oversee the approval of the export of sensitive technology of national security interest abroad, negotiate free trade agreements, and oversee the patents office, among other roles. He has potential conflicts of interest regarding cryptocurrency.

Stablecoins Tether and Circle are pegged to the US dollar and have been buying US debt in the form of securities issued by the Treasury in order to "back" the issuance of their dollar-pegged tokens with a dollar-denominated asset. Tether's impressive stash of Treasuries are custodied by Lutnick's Cantor.

Cantor, which is "majority-owned by its CEO Lutnick," was recently revealed to be a 5% owner of Tether after a $600 million investment, according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal. The assumed largest shareholder of Tether, co-founder Giancarlo Devasini, reportedly told the paper that "Lutnick will use his political clout to try to defuse threats facing Tether."

Tether and Cantor are also involved in the development and pricing of carbon markets/ carbon taxes through an affiliated company, Satellogic. Cantor was a pioneer of electronic carbon emissions trading and continues to promote climate finance as well as implementation of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is United Nations Agenda 21. The goal is digitization, trading with blockchain and total control over real world assets (RWA).

Who is Howard Lutnick, the 'abandoned' orphan with the fate of the global economy in his hands?
The former investment banking prodigy and 9/11 survivor will be responsible for wielding America's financial might under President Trump

"Abandoned" orphan, 9/11 survivor, investment banking prodigy – Howard Lutnick has taken the challenges of his turbulent life in his stride.

Yet, the financial titan may now face his most unique test following his confirmation as the US' new Secretary of Commerce under President Donald Trump.

The position is usually viewed largely as a background figure but Lutnick, who was born to a Jewish family in Jericho, New York, takes his seat at the cabinet table of one of the most fiscally activist administrations in decades.

As America's top trade official, he will be responsible for implementing and managing the sweeping programme of tariffs the new president has pledged to use as leverage to bend the global economy to his will – policies which have the potential to reshape the liberal free trading order that has dominated geopolitics for decades.

It's a role that will likely bring him criticism from US allies and enemies alike, but Lutnick's fascinating background suggests he's more than up to the turbulent task.

Born in 1961, he was a senor in high school when he lost his mother Jane to lymphoma.

His father passed away the next year, during Lutnick's first week in college, while being treated for cancer when he was accidentally given an overdose of chemotherapy medication.

Lutnick told New York Magazine in 2001 that he and his siblings were largely "abandoned" by their remaining family, recalling: "The way I describe it, you're either in or you're out. What I learned in 1979, all my relatives – they stepped out. We learned to live without all of them. All of them. It was just the three of us. Gary and Edie and me."

But he found a ray of hope when the president of Haverford College, where he was a student, called him following his father's death to offer a full scholarship, which saw Lutnick graduate with a degree in economics in 1983.

From there, he joined the financial services giant Cantor Fitzgerald, developing a personal relationship with its co-founder Bernard Cantor. Indeed, Stuart Fraser, former vice-chair at the firm, recalled: "Bernie saw in Howard something of himself."

Within ten years Lutnick was made CEO, before becoming chairman in 1996 aged just 35.

Then, five years into his leadership, two planes struck the World Trade Centre which housed the Cantor Fitzgerald offices.

The 9/11 attacks claimed the lives of more than two-thirds of Cantor's employees, including Lutnick's brother Gary, and Lutnick himself was only saved because he was taking his young son to his first day at nursery. After rushing to the North Tower to try and find out whether his brother had survived, he evaded death yet again – taking cover under a car as the South Tower fell.

In the wake of the tragedy, Lutnick and his sister Edie set up the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, which has given out more than £140 million to the families of Cantor employees who died that day.

Since then, he has continued at the helm of Cantor and overseen a number of high-profile mergers, including the creation of his new standalone firm BGC Partners. Significantly, he also acted as a major donor to Trump's re-election effort, co-chairing the campaign with Education Secretary-designate Linda McMahon.

Following Trump's inauguration in January, he was heavily rumoured to be in the frame for the role of Treasury Secretary, before being formally nominate for the Department of Commerce.

He passed through a committee vote by a 16-12 margin, before being confirmed by the Senate in a 51-45 vote.

But his appointment will cause concern across the Atlantic as he is a fervent advocate of Trump's use of tariffs to generate revenue for the Treasury and, more importantly, as a tool to ensure other nations' compliance with the US economic agenda.

The new administration has already implemented 25 per cent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, aimed at forcing them to ramp up border security enforcement, and is now trailing the introduction of a similar levy on Chinese electric cars.

No tariffs have yet been announced on the EU or UK, but Trump has indicated previously that they are being considered, prompting concerns of a damaging trade war.

Campaigners have also raised worries over the concessions the Trump team may want from the UK government in order to avoid tariffs or sign a free trade agreement, including the potential weakening of environmental, public health or animal welfare regulations.

Bret Baier's DC House Sells for Record $25 Million—in Cash
Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary pick, buys the Foxhall estate as team Trump rolls into town.

When will the wake up, indeed.  The link discloses that Lutnick bought the house from Bret Baier for a record $25 million in Washington, DC's xuper-exclusive Foxhall.

Who is Bret Baier?  Isn't he just a fucking "newsman?"  But, obviously, he's much more than that, because how does an ordinary "newsman" manage to own the most valuable house in Washington, DC, or at least that has been sold.

Here are two puff pieces about Bret. It's not likely he is a "rags to riches" story.  More likely, it a "poor little rich boy" story.  A shining example of a top-level zio-masonic propaganda mouthpiece.

The Tragedy Of Fox News Host Bret Baier Is Just Sad

From the aftermath of 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to numerous presidential campaigns, elections, and inaugurations, Bret Baier has pretty much seen it and done it all during his decades-long stint with Fox News. The journeyman, who graduated from DePauw University with a degree in political science before moving into local TV, has been recognized for his efforts, too, receiving countless prestigious industry awards, landing his own show, "Special Report," and even becoming golfing pals with re-elected POTUS Donald Trump.
