Hillary Clinton calls out Biden’s Treasury Department over Russian access to cryptocurrency

Hillary Clinton hit the Biden administration’s treasury department for not locking down the cryptocurrency market that’s allowing Russians to seek a financial escape route.

Her sharp criticism, delivered on MSNBC Monday night, comes as sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine sent the ruble plummeting. But Bitcoin and Ethereum, two popular cryptocurrencies, were up 14% and 11.4%, respectively.

The crypto market, Clinton urged, should be equally walled off from Russian President Vladimir Putin and the country’s oligarchs.

“I was disappointed to see some of the crypto exchanges, not all of them, but some of them are refusing to end transactions with Russia,” Clinton said. “Everybody, if there has to be legal or regulatory pressure, everybody should do as much as possible to isolate Russian economic activity right now.”

Clinton, a former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate who lost to former President Donald Trump, added the crypto off-ramp needs to be blocked.

“I think the Treasury Department, the Europeans should look hard at how they can prevent the crypto markets from giving an escape hatch to Russia, both governmental and private transactions in and out of Russia.

“I would hope somebody at the Treasury Department is trying to figure out how to rein in the leaky valves in the crypto market that might allow Russia to escape the full weight of the sanctions,” she added to host Rachel Maddow.

The crypto market is also being used by Ukraine that has pinned a tweet atop the country’s Twitter feed seeking Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT — also known as Tether — donations. And, according to multiple reports, $20 million has been wired over.

Other news outlets are reporting a run on banks in Russia as the ruble dropped 30% against the U.S. dollar.

But crypto, where digital tokens are traded with wild swings in the market making some rich one minute and penniless the next, is the wild west of banking where controls are nearly impossible to come by.

CNBC reported Monday night that Binance — the world’s largest crypto exchange — said it will block the accounts of Russian individuals who have been sanctioned, but will not “unilaterally” freeze the accounts of all Russian users.

The debate over crypto for Ukraine is heating up social media where topics range from suggesting a new bitcoin just for Ukraine to others asking why all exchanges in and out of Russia are not being stopped now.

And as for the 550,000 refugees seeking safe haven out of Ukraine, many say a simple Bitcoin password kept safe in their heads will be a financial path to freedom.

Serious Global Pain as Economic Model Dies – Daniel Estulin

By Greg Hunter
On February 26, 2022

International best-selling author, journalist and counter-intelligence expert Daniel Estulin says the problems in the world revolve around the rapidly dying financial system and a “coming global bankruptcy.” Estulin contends, “We are looking at $3 quadrillion or $4 quadrillion of global debt, and you are looking at the end of the Bretton Woods economic model. We are at a critical stage for humanity that will determine the direction of the world. There is much at stake for us but especially for the liberals because their model, which is based on infinite growth, is coming to an end.”

According to Estulin, the United States is in for hardship and poverty never seen before. Estulin says, “This is the year for the United States. A lot of things are going to be decided financially, economically, socially and with a president that should not be there. The Democrats understand this, and that is why they are leaving in droves. . . . We are coming into some serious pain moments for the global economy. The Russians are used to suffering and having to live on nothing. You (USA) are not.”

How bad will this get? Estulin, who is former Russian intelligence, says just look at what happened to the Soviet Union when it broke up in 1991. Estulin points out, “Between 1991 and 1998, 26 million Soviet citizens died. It was caused by starvation, depression, drugs, alcohol and all kinds of things. Most importantly, it was because 40% of our countrymen lost everything that they saved over the history of their country. . . . In 1989, in the entire Soviet satellite space, there were around 500 million people in the Soviet Union. There were only 14 million people living under the poverty line. That’s 14 million out of 500 million people. In 1996, just seven years later, these 14 million with the destruction of the Soviet Union, became 168 million. So, from 14 million, it went up to 168 million people living under the poverty line. The same thing is going to happen to the West and the United States. . . . This will be at least two times worse than what happened in the 1929 to 1933 period. That means future generations are going to be infinitely worse off than my generation. . . . It means the standard of living in the West is going to be something they have never in their lives imagined. The kinds of things coming to America and to the west is what you see on television. You are talking about World War III zombies or some kind of other horrible things. It is coming home because the United States is in the same position as the Soviet Union in 1991. You have a President named Joe Biden who has dementia for goodness’ sake. . . this is a carbon copy of Brezhnev in the Soviet Union in 1981.”

Estulin also contends to deal with the so called “reset” and their dying financial system, the desperate globalists have no problem doing away with large chunks of the population or dramatically changing their DNA. Estulin says, “The final stage for the liberals is the evolution of humanity. . . . In other words, the politics of post humanism. . . . The liberals (such as Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum) are praising the new possibilities of post humanism. We need to understand what these people are going to do with us, and it’s in black and white. It’s the fusion with a machine that will greatly enhance body strength, memory and genetic engineering . . . what these people want is immortality. . . . Any one that does not agree with this agenda, they are declared enemies of open society, and you get cancelled.”
