  "Ukrainian president Zelensky has warned US Republicans that if they win
   next week Ukraine needs more than just weapons. Ukraine also needs
   cold, hard cash to pay its bills. Ukraine's endless demands even
   irritated President Biden, according to a new article on CNBC. Also
   today: Covid tyranny aftershocks continue, with Dr. Peter McCullough
   continuing to be stripped of his licenses...for telling the truth.
   Finally: 60 years ago we almost saw nuclear war. Cooler heads
   prevailed. Today we are back...without cooler heads. "

He's a JEW.

OF COURSE he thinks American gentiles should work all year long to finance Zelensky's attempt to embellish his own resume.

I would not be surprised if he squirrels away a few $Billion and ends up at Stanford's Hoover Institution.

BREAKING NEWS: UKRAINE "MILITARY AID" FROM USA --- WAS INVESTED IN CRYPTO "FTX" BY UKRAINE!

   The sudden collapse of crypto exchange "FTX" and its Bankruptcy filing
   today, has revealed that FTX presently suffers from $10-$50 BILLION in
   liabilities with almost ZERO assets ... and among those liabilities,
   are "investments" made by .... UKRAINE ....
   
   At this early hour, it __appears__ that tens-of-billions in American
   "Military Aid" to Ukraine, which was allegedly to be used to fight
   Russia, was cash that Ukraine DID NOT use to fight Russia, but instead
   invested into FTX!
   
   And, as you might guess from the Bankruptcy filing .... it now seems
   that all the money ... is gone.
   
   Yes, you read that correctly: Instead of using US Military Aid to fight
   Russia, Ukraine "invested" part or all of it, into FTX, and right now,
   it looks like all the money is gone.
   
   Democrat Donations
   
   Also at this early hour, it now also __appears__ that the Chief of FTX,
   Sam Bankman-Fried, was the #2 donor to the Democrats. He was only
   outspent by Soros himself!
   
   It __seems__ Ukraine was receiving money from the US, Ukraine sent it
   to FTX, and FTX sent it to Democrats, who originally voted to send it
   to Ukraine.  At this hour, it __appears__ to some observers, to be
   pure, criminal, money-laundering, and a criminal conspiracy to violate
   campaign finance laws.
   
   It now seems to closely-watching observers that the kid (Bankman-Fried)
   burned his own company -- and his own ass -- just to make sure the Dems
   won the mid-term elections, and seems to have done it by pulling the
   rug out from all those that had funds there in FTX.
   
   So the collapse of FTX is now linked not only to Ukraine, but also to
   US Democrat politicians who got money from Sam Bankman-Fried, to
   campaign for the just-ended elections!

    "The collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX/Alameda empire has been swift
      and spectacular.  I could talk about it for hours.  But there's no time
      for that.  Here's a mountain of crypto-fraud mayhem crammed into 99
      seconds. [ ... ]"
   
   UPDATE 6:52 AM SATURDAY --
   
   From wiki
   Sam Bankman-Fried was born in 1992 on the campus of Stanford University
   into a family of academics. Born and raised to an upper-middle-class
   Jewish family in California, he is the son of Barbara Fried and Joseph
   Bankman, both professors at Stanford Law School.[2] His aunt Linda P.
   Fried is the current dean of Columbia University Mailman School of
   Public Health.[15] His brother, Gabe Bankman-Fried, is a former Wall
   Street trader[16] and the director of the non-profit Guarding Against
   Pandemics.
   
   Politics
   Sam Bankman-Fried was the second-largest individual donor to Democratic
   causes in 2021–2022 election cycle with total donations of $39.8
   million, only behind George Soros.[59][60][61] Of this, $27 million was
   given to Protect our Future PAC, bankrolled by Bankman-Fried.[62]
   
   [VincentKennedy-FTX.jpg]
   
   
   And the funniest bit of all? Who is handling the bankruptcy??? None
   other than Jon J Ray III who just happened to be in charge of the
   liquidation of..... ENRON!
   
   Then too, there's this:
   
   [WEF-FTX]
   
   
   The US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures
   Trading Commission are looking into whether FTX.com mishandled customer
   funds. Bankman-Fried is also being investigated by the US Securities
   and Exchange Commission for potential violations of securities rules.

I don't think so. It's a small world up there in academics and related
institutions. Zelensky will now have to prop up most of his offshore
Bahamas assets to even get a small seat on the table.

   A Russian billionaire has become the latest cryptocurrency businessman
   to die in mysterious circumstances after his helicopter crashed in good
   weather near Monaco.
   
   Entrepreneur Vyacheslav Taran, 53, died after the helicopter plunged
   near the resort town of Villefranche-sur-Mer after taking off from
   Lausanne in Switzerland.
   
   Taran is the third cryptocurrency entrepreneur to die unexpectedly in
   the past few weeks.
   
   Tiantian Kullander, 30, died 'in his sleep' last week,[/url] while fellow
   crypto millionaire Nikolai Mushegian, 29, drowned on a Puerto Rico
   beach after tweeting that he feared the CIA and Mossad were going to
   murder him.
   
   
   Businessman Vyacheslav Taran, 53 - pictured with his wife Olga Taran in
   2020 - died after the helicopter plunged to the ground near
   Villefranche-sur-Mer after taking off from Lausanne in Switzerland
   
   
   Mystery surrounds his death, as the crash happened in good weather -
   and after another passenger reportedly cancelled last minute. Pictured:

   Since the crash that killed Taran happened in good, clear weather - and
   after another passenger reportedly cancelled last minute - mystery now
   surrounds the billionaire's death.
   
   Taran, the co-founder of trading and investment platform Libertex and
   Forex Club, was flying from Lausanne with an experience pilot in a
   single-engined H130 helicopter when it crashed at around 1pm on
   November 25.
   
   A 35-year-old French pilot was also killed.
   
   The deputy public prosecutor of Nice, who visited the scene, said the
   fault of a third party could not be ruled out.
   
   Another unidentified passenger had been due to join Taran on the
   flight, but they cancelled last minute, according to local media.
   
   Taran, a highly successful offshore specialist who has lived in Monaco
   for the past ten years, has three children with wife Olga, founder of
   Hello Monaco media.
   
   Ukrainian news agency UNIAN claimed, without citing any evidence, that
   Taran  was a 'billionaire crypto businessman with likely ties to the
   Russian Foreign Intelligence Service'.
   
   It alleged he was linked to the SVR foreign espionage agency and was
   responsible for 'laundering Russian funds through a system of
   cryptocurrency operations'.

   The crash has led to an outpouring of condolences for the family in
   Monaco.
   
   'It is with great sadness that Libertex Group confirms the death of its
   co-founder and chairman of board of directors, Vyacheslav Taran, after
   a helicopter crash that took place en route to Monaco on Friday, 25
   November 2022,' said a statement from the financier's company.
   
   'The board of directors of Libertex Group and company employees extend
   their most heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the Taran family.'
   
   Taran was 'a well-known and highly respected businessman, described as
   kind-hearted, polite and humble by everyone who was fortunate enough to
   know him', his company said.
   
   A formal investigation has been launched into the crash by the French
   authorities and Airbus, makers of the H130.

   A number of Russian businessmen have died in mysterious circumstances
   since the start of Russia's war in Ukraine.
   
   Earlier this month, Viktor Cherkesov, 72, a close KGB spy and mentor of
   Vladimir Putin who was demoted after publicly criticising the Kremlin
   leader, died from an unexplained 'serious disease'.
   
   Recent deaths also include Ivan Pechorin, 39, director of the Far East
   and Arctic Development Corporation, who 'fell overboard' from his yacht
   in September.
   
   Pavel Pchelnikov, 52, a PR manager for the Russian Railways, was shot
   dead in his Moscow apartment the same month, and Alexander Tyulakov,
   61, a senior Gazprom executive, was found hanged at his house, also in
   Moscow.

  Curse of the crypto whizz kids: Missing millions, mysterious deaths and
   wild conspiracy theories surrounding the untimely demise of digital
   currency tycoons
   
   Cryptocurrency businessman Vyacheslav Taran, 53, is the third industry
   leader to die unexpectedly in a matter of weeks.
   
   Taran was killed in a helicopter crash near Monaco, days after Tiantian
   Kullander, 30, died 'in his sleep'. 
   
   In addition, fellow crypto millionaire Nikolai Mushegian, 29, drowned
   on a Puerto Rico beach after tweeting that he feared the CIA and Mossad
   were going to murder him. 
   
   The deaths mean at least five cryptocurrency tycoons have died
   unexpectedly since 2018, at times triggering wild and unfounded
   conspiracy theories.
   
   The two others, Gerald Cotten and Matthew Mellon, died without sharing
   the keys to crypto wallets worth hundreds of millions of dollars,
   leaving the funds inaccessible.
   
   Cotten's demise was so mysterious and controversial that it prompted a
   Netflix documentary into whether the whole thing was faked.
   
   Meanwhile Mellon - the ex-husband of Jimmy Choo co-founder Tamara
   Mellon - suffered a heart attack while preparing to check into a drug
   rehab clinic in Mexico.
   
   Tiantian Kullander
   
   Tiantian Kullander, 30, was the co-founder of Amber Group, a
   cryptocurrency trading platform which was recently valued at $3billion.
   
   Kullander died 'unexpectedly in his sleep' on November 23, the company
   announced in a statement on Friday.
   
   He is survived by his wife and their son, a statement from Amber Group
   said.
   
   
   Tiantian Kullander was credited with 'co-founding Amber and building it
   into a multi-billion fintech unicorn'. He died unexpectedly on November
   23
   
   The company, which is based in Singapore, didn't say where Kullander
   passed away. A cause of death had also not been revealed on Monday.
   
   Amber Group said: 'Tiantian (or 'TT', as he was lovingly known) was
   instrumental to the founding of Amber and a pillar of our success. He
   put his heart and soul into the company, in every stage of its growth.
   
   'He led by example with his intellect, generosity, humility, diligence
   and creativity.
   
   'TT was a respected thought leader and widely recognized as a pioneer
   for the industry.
   
   'His depth of knowledge, his willingness to collaborate and his desire
   to always help others benefited countless start-ups and individuals.
   His insights and creativity inspired many projects, people and
   communities.'
   
   Kullander was credited with 'co-founding Amber and building it into a
   multi-billion fintech unicorn'.
   
   He was also on the board of Fnatic, an e-sports organization.
   
   Kullander and several of his Amber Group colleagues were featured
   together in the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2019.
   
   Amber Group is based in Singapore and its website says it has a
   'presence in Athens, Geneva, Dubai, Hong Kong, Istanbul, London, Mexico
   City, Taipei, Tokyo, Vancouver, and Zurich'.
   
   Kullander, a former Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs trader, founded
   the Amber Group in 2017. The company was valued at $3billion in recent
   months.
   
   Nikolai Mushegian
   
   Nikolai Mushegian, 29, died on October 28, hours after tweeting that he
   feared the CIA and Mossad were going to murder him.
   
   The troubled young millionaire had a history of mental health problems
   and his family do not believe there was any foul play.
   
   But some of his associates have bought into the idea that his death was
   suspicious - claims which are unfounded.
   
   In a tweet hours before he died, Mushegian said: 'CIA and Mossad and
   pedo elite are running some kind of sex-trafficking entrapment
   blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and Caribbean islands.
   
   'They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex [girlfriend]
   who was a spy. They will torture me to death.'
   
   
   Nikolai Mushegian, 29, died on October 28, hours after tweeting that he
   feared the CIA and Mossad were going to murder him. His death triggered
   unfounded conspiracy theories but his family have said they don't
   believe there was any foul play
   
   He was discovered by a surfer in the water at Ashford Beach on October
   29, fully clothed and carrying his wallet.
   
   Brock Pierce, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur who is well known in the
   community, told The New York Post he was satisfied Nikolai's death was
   not suspicious after speaking to his family in Florida.
   
   'His mother clarified that his death had nothing to do with his
   [conspiracy] tweets.
   
   'He was a beautiful man and a child at heart. He was also an incredible
   visionary, I don't call people brilliant very often but Nikolai was
   brilliant.
   
   'And brilliant people sometimes walk the edge of insanity,' he said.
   
   Nikolai's family had become so concerned for his welfare that his
   father had gone to stay with him in Condado, Puerto Rico, where he is
   said to have lived in a $6million house.
   
   Gerald Cotten
   
   Gerald Cotten's death in 2018 prompted so much intrigue and controversy
   that it was investigated in the Netflix documentary Trust No One.
   
   The 30-year-old founder of the bankrupt cryptocurrency firm QuadrigaCX
   died while honeymooning in India with his wife on December 9, 2018.
   
   He was the only person with knowledge of keys needed to access crypto
   assets worth millions of dollars.
   
   The odd circumstances surrounding his untimely death also included the
   fact that he signed a will just nine days before his demise — fueling
   suspicions that Cotten, CEO of Canada's largest crypto exchange, faked
   the whole thing.
   
   
   Gerald Cotten died without sharing keys needed to access
   cryptocurrencies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Some think he
   faked his own death and pocketed the cash - claims which formed the
   basis of the Netflix documentary Trust No One.
   
   To this day $169million is missing, prompting investigators and victims
   to question whether he orchestrated the mystery and pocketed the funds.
   
   Some investors have even demanded his body be exhumed to prove it's
   really him.
   
   His firm, at the time of his death, had about 115,000 clients.
   
   Rumors on the internet have spread that Cotten may in fact still be
   alive, living off embezzled funds.
   
   The hard drives that granted access to the assets, which were not
   connected to the internet, stored the cryptocurrency of 75,000 clients
   and for which only he had the password.
   
   Investigators found the wallets were commonly used to store Bitcoin
   starting in April 2014, but in April 2018 all but one of them were
   abruptly emptied and left dormant.
   
   The final wallet was still used to transfer currency until December 3,
   six days before Cotten died, before it was also left empty.
   
   Various theories have emerged about Cotten, the most compelling
   perhaps, claims that he is alive and living off the millions that went
   missing.
   
   
   Gerald Cotten, 30, was the CEO of QuadricaCX, the largest
   cryptocurrency exchange in Canada which defaulted last year following
   his death (Pictured: with his wife Jennifer Robertson at the Taj Mahal)
   
   His widow, Jennifer Robertson, said her husband's death 'should not be
   in doubt'.
   
   According to Vanity Fair, Cotten claimed in a 2014 interview that he
   wrote his passwords on paper and locked them in a safe deposit box at a
   bank, 'because that's the best way to keep coins secure'.
   
   Later he joked that he had a 'safe bolted to the rafters in the attic.'
   
   Shortly before his demise, Cotten told close friends and family that
   Quadriga had a 'dead man's switch' that would send them access to the
   exchange's funds in the case of his disappearance or death. None of
   this was true.
   
   According to Canada's Globe and Mail, Cotten and his wife were nine
   days into their honeymoon when the couple arrived at the $932-a-night
   Oberoi Rajvilas hotel in Jaipur on December 8, 2018.
   
   Soon after checking in, Cotten complained of acute stomach pain and was
   driven to a nearby hospital where he was diagnosed with traveler's
   diarrhea. 24 hours later, he was dead.
   
   No autopsy was performed.
   
   Sparking more suspicion was the fact that just three days before
   leaving for India, Cotten filed a detailed will that left everything to
   Robertson: his $12 million real estate portfolio, a Lexus sports car,
   his Cessna aircraft, a 50-foot sailboat, bank accounts and even
   frequent flyer points.
   
   He set aside $100,000 for the care of their Chihuahuas, but curiously
   made no mention of the external hard drives that stored most of
   Quadriga's funds.
   
   Matthew Mellon
   
   Troubled banking heir Matthew Mellon died of a heart attack in 2018
   while preparing to check into a drug rehabilitation clinic in Cancun,
   Mexico.
   
   He held XRP coins valued at upwards of $200 million - and was the only
   person who could access the cryptocurrencies.
   
   Mellon reportedly never shared the keys needed to access the XRP with
   anyone. Some of the keys were held in other people's names in storage
   around the US.
   
   XRP was trading at only a fraction of a penny when Mellon first took an
   interest in the asset. At its height the cryptocurrency has traded at
   more than $1 per coin.
   
   At its peak, Mellon's initial $2 million investment was worth around $1
   billion.
   
   Mellon was survived by his first wife Tamara Mellon - who is the
   co-founder of Jimmy Choo - and his second wife, fashion designer Nicole
   Hanley. He also has three children - one with Tamara and two with
   Nicole.
   
   
   Troubled banking heir Matthe Mellon held XRP coins valued at upwards of
   $200 million - and was the only person who could access the
   cryptocurrencies. He died without sharing the digital keys needed to
   access the assets.
   
   He met his first wife Tamara in 1998 at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting
   and they tied in the knot in a lavish wedding held at the birthplace of
   Winston Churchill, attended by glamorous guests including Hugh Grant
   and Liz Hurley in 2000.
   
   In 2006 he met second wife Nicole at a wedding and they wed two years
   later at family friend Diane Von Furstenberg's home in the Bahamas. The
   pair later divorced in 2016.
   
   In February, Mellon told Forbes that he liked XRP, used by currency
   exchange network Ripple, because it was one of the handful of
   cryptocurrencies that actually operated within the traditional banking
   system.
   
   'Crypto is scary and dark. It's anti-America,' Mellon told Forbes,
   explaining that he chose Ripple because he is 'pro-America,
   pro-business and pro-bank.'
   
   He had battled an OxyContin addiction where he was spending $100,000 a
   month and taking about 80 pills a day.
   
   In 2016, Mellon blamed doctors for his addiction, saying they were
   'writing prescriptions like they were Smarties.'
   
   At the time, he was checked into Passages Malibu, an
   addiction-treatment center popular with boldfaced names, and said that
   he was determined to battle the addiction, telling Page Six, 'I'm here
   as long as it takes.'
   
   Mellon was born in New York City into one of the oldest banking
   families, descending from of Mellon Bank founder Judge Thomas Mellon
   and American banker and Drexel University founder Anthony Joseph Drexel.
   
   He was raised between Delray Beach, Florida and Northeast Harbor, Maine
   and inherited a cool $25million when he turned 21, according to Vanity

Sam Bankman-Fired had prepared a written testimony for the hearing
which was snatched by the WSJ. Through his arrest the FBI and DOJ
prevented public testimony by Sam Bankman-Fired. Instead the curator
from ENRON Jon J Ray III  appeared before the U.S. House Financial 
Services Committee and claimed that it was plain old-fashioned
embezzlement. Nothing to see here folks, just walk along. (Your Sam 
Bankman-Fired was muted this mordning before he was able to detonate
the Democratic Party).

FTX Founder and Democrat Super Donor Sam Bankman-Fried Denied Bail in the Bahamas

   Disgraced FTX founder and Democrat Super Donor Sam Bankman-Fried has
   reportedly been denied bail and will be held at the Bahamas' notorious
   Fox Hill prison where conditions have been described as dangerous and
   cramped.
   
   CoinDesk reports that a judge in the Bahamas has ruled that FTX founder
   and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried should be held in custody and not
   granted bail.
   
   Magistrate Judge Joyann Ferguson-Pratt in the Bahamas has scheduled an
   extradition hearing for FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried
   for February 8, 2023. Bankman-Fried's attorneys had requested that he
   be released on $250,000 bail, citing his need for regular access to
   allergy medication and a vegan diet. Earlier in the day, police had
   escorted his parents to his home in Albany to retrieve Adderall.
   
   Bankman-Fried testified earlier this week that he uses Emsam patches
   for depression and takes 10mg of Adderall every four hours. During the
   hearing, prosecutors in the Bahamas argued that releasing Bankman-Fried
   on bail would violate a treaty with the U.S., which requires defendants
   to be held in custody during extradition proceedings. Bankman-Fried
   told the judge that he would not waive his right to contest the
   extradition, indicating that he may try to stay in the Bahamas.
   
   Judge Ferguson-Pratt denied Bankman-Fried's bail application, citing
   concerns that his apartment in the Bahamas and potential loss of cash
   bond would not be sufficient to prevent him from fleeing.
   
   Ferguson-Pratt said: "It's a subjective test, and it depends on how
   much one is willing to lose. I am of the view that the risk of flight
   is so great that Mr. Bankman-Fried ought to be remanded to custody."
   Bankman-Fried reportedly slumped over at the news, holding his head in
   his hands. It is reported that Bankman-Fried will be held at Fox Hill
   prison in the Bahamas, which is notorious for its poor living
   conditions, often described as dangerous and cramped. Locals speaking
   to CoinDesk say that the prison is overcrowded with as many as six
   people in one cell.
