Ever look at past 30 years and ask "why are so many gullible and easily fooled?" Now knowing NYC has a conviction rate 96%.... it's been said after starving and wearing someone down after 30-40hrs, they will say almost anything.. Your saying Big Banks do NOT own and control Judges? Was Gen Flynn innocence and why was he ruined? Why is Trump being taken apart? Hillary's a proven child trafficker and traitor along with Biden, half of DC, 80% of MSM. How are they all running free? MA, Brennan Confirmed RussiaGate was Created by Hillary October 7, 2020 "I have stated that one of my lawyers, Scot Balber, was even at the famous Trump Tower Meeting with Russian briefing Trump on the Magnitsky Act. I have stated that I was asked to invest $10 billion into Hermitage Capital by Dov Schlein of Republic National Bank who worked for Safra. Safra was most likely killed by Putin in retaliation for the 2000 failed attempt to blackmail Yeltsin and take over Russia with the blessing of Hillary. Safra was killed on December 3rd, 1999 and they filed the motion to imprison me on contempt of court one week later and kept me there for 7 years on a statutory maximum sentence of 18 months (28 USC 1826). And by the way, it was James Comey who approved keeping me in prison for 7 years on civil contempt of court to prevent any of this story from surfacing. It suffices it to say that I have had a front-row seat to this conspiracy against the people and Trump with all the main actors. ** They Lie Just About Everything December 14, 2022 In my case, I had the standard phone recording in the financial industry and the tapes I had given for safekeeping to two law firms. They were enough to put all the top bankers in prison in a real land of law. I supposed they were looking for them to protect the bankers. There were tapes inviting me to join market manipulations, paying bribes to Russian officials, and so on. They went after my lawyers and threatened them with contempt of court imprisonment if they did not turn over the tapes. The one NY firm, Tenzer Greenblatt, perhaps informed the government they were holding tapes for me. I stood up and objected to the turnover of the tapes (see below) for they had nothing to do with my case. When I told Alan Cohen that the bank stole the money, he simply said he believed the bank. NOT one mainstream press bothered to ask how could $1 billion vanish from a bank and they had no idea where the money was. It is impossible. There would have to have been a wire, a check, or some evidence of a withdrawal. Not one journalist asked that simple question – so much for honest journalism. In the end, when I asked for copies of the tapes, suddenly the SEC claimed they were all destroyed in the World Trade Center and the bankers were protected. The court-appointed receiver, Alan Cohen, miraculously became a board member of Goldman Sachs, and the court then allowed him to remain as the receiver running my company from the boardroom of Goldman Sachs. Now, he is in the top brass at the SEC. Why anyone thinks that any agency in Washington actually cares about what is right or wrong is seriously out of their mind. Once government grabs power, it becomes absolute. We are merely the grains of dirt beneath their feet. The banks have blown up the economy numerous times. They will pay $100 million fines to the SEC, which is really just their piece of the action. Nobody ever goes to prison. They bailed out AIG, an insurance company, but let Lehman Brothers collapse. Why? AIG would have taken down Goldman Sachs. Lehman was a competitor of Goldman. The entire system is so corrupt and the press will never report the truth. They might lose advertising revenue from the big banks in NYC. Here is one audio tape that I found I had a copy of: Audio Player 00:00 00:00 Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume. When I got out, I found one copy of a tape I had stashed in my mother’s basement. They withheld this from the courts and the press because it showed it was the bankers moving money around which I came to believe was actually money laundering. The Forensic Accountant never saw so many errors. Bad trades were stuffed into my account and then removed. If the money did not go back to the same place, they were using my accounts to launder money as was suggested to me they had been doing in Madoff’s accounts for the Russian Mafia and their own nefarious attempt to take over Russia itself. And now they want us to die on the battlefield all for their lies about just about everything. Categories:** Corruption

A little history on the guy... Forecasting the Future Based on the Past 12/14/2022 Because I specialized in currency, that has put me in the middle of almost everything since the 1970s. Currency was the mover and shakers behind the politics of the world. It was far more than simply trading buy here and sell there. It is why the CFTC had even subpoenaed me, demanding a list of all my clients worldwide so they could prove I manipulated the world because I was too influential in their view. I defended in court and won. They were always seeking to shut down the forecasting. Video Player 00:00 01:48 History repeats because humanity never learns. These people who push for war have no end game. Nobody ever seems to ask – what comes next. They took down Saddam Hussein and never once asked: What would happen if you overthrew a government? They are doing that again with Russia. Victoria Nuland is highly dangerous. She personally hates Russians, and nobody has a view of what would happen if you overthrew the Russian government. Would you then have nukes for sale on the black market? I have been behind the curtain. I have never witnessed such evil and incompetent people in charge. I suppose this is necessary as we head into 2032. I want to stress that these forecasts are NOT my opinion. They are not based on anything other than the raw economics and capital flows. They are not based on religious philosophy, nor did I introduce astrology. They are the objective view of the computer, the ONLY fully functioning AI system in the world monitoring the global economy with a track record of nearly 50 years. Yes, people are saying I should float it now. It would be worth hundreds of billions. I don’t have the time or the energy to take that on now, and I have more than enough to support me until Scotty beams me up. Nobody respectful has been beating down my door who would maintain my dream to ensure it helps the world – not a small WEF billionaire click. *** They Lie Just About Everything December 14, 2022 "" The Model still shows World War is coming 2025-2027 time period. All this chaos and demand to force China and Russia to comply with this Green Agenda is only pushing both of them together against the West."" All I can say is this is what Socrates has developed. By monitoring everything, it is picking up the most subtle moves. It had picked up $100 billion going into Russia in the summer of 1998 and $150 billion fleeing. We put out a warning that Russia would collapse and that began in September 1998. It had also lined up with the Economic Confidence Model. I was named Fund Manager of the year in 1998 because of that trade. We made 60% in a single month. I was named Economist of the Decade for the 1980s because of the ECM and Socrates, and most recently FX Analyst of the year over the collapse of the Swiss/Euro Peg. These things are NOT because I am smarter than everyone else. It is because Socrates is monitoring the entire world. So when it was showing that the 8th would be more important than the 6th, I personally thought it would be over the objections. I did not expect the siege of the Capitol Building, but with hindsight, it appears that was in the works and it was the final nail in the coffin to end Democracy as we have known it. Any election from here on out will simply be rigged. Biden will last perhaps into 2022, and Harris will then take over and she will still be able to run twice into 2032. The Model still shows World War is coming 2025-2027 time period. All this chaos and demand to force China and Russia to comply with this Green Agenda is only pushing both of them together against the West**.

Good article everyone should read... Why Do Democrats Create More Laws That Harm Society? August 18, 2022 The problem with lawyers in government is that they inherently begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties. This is why we are plagued by their use of the legal system in our lives, which has become all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties to our very government, and they must then be punished. Somehow we have to change this perspective, for it is polarizing society and converting our equal justice for all into an adversarial legal banter with everything from abortion to taxes. Unfortunately, lawyers have a place in the private world, but in politics, it is turning our nation into an adversarial mud-wresting match to the death. They fight to the death over appointing people to the Supreme Court which in itself demonstrates that there is no RULE OF LAW; it is always just an opinion. When I was in the gold business, State Senator Walter Foran asked me to write the law for the State of New Jersey to make gold not taxable under the sales tax. I wrote the law stating gold was not taxable unless “converted to use” and the sales tax Nazis stormed my business, seized my records, and then demanded sales tax on over 3,000 transactions. I went to court and lost. They would not allow me to testify because it was “irrelevant.” I may have misinterpreted what the Senate asked me to write. Their interpretation was that “converted to use” was “investment use,” and the judge ruled in the State’s favor. Senator Foran demanded to testify on my behalf, but they would not allow him to testify as a senator. My request to subpoena the Senate was denied as unreasonable. The prosecutor, after the case said, “Sorry, nothing personal. This is how we make law.” I retired and did not want to be then harassed every year and the only dealer who had to charge sales tax. Our society is drowning in laws that judicial decisions have distorted our freedom and the legal system has been carried on the back of those it oppresses. It has invaded every part of our once private lives with lockdowns and mandatory vaccines that have benefited those who bribe our so-called representatives. The place for lawyers remains in the private sector – not the government. Once in power, they see every solution warrants a new power and law. This Democratic Administration, the same one that just raided Trump’s estate to prevent any documents from coming out about RussiaGate and their behind-the-curtain machinations, has now filed a lawsuit against Arizona. The Biden DOJ under the Democrats is claiming that a new state law that requires voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to cast a ballot in presidential elections is unconstitutional. We cannot simply cross the border and go vote in Canada. Yet, according to this Biden Administration, anyone can come and vote in the United States, and you do not have to prove who you are – just vote Democrat. This is what I mean where law disregards all common sense. We live now in total chaos. We are witnessing the complete destruction of not just common sense, but of the society, we once called America. We cannot repair our society, for that change cannot be brought by lawyers who now control our very future. Einstein warned, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. “ Our modern world is falling into the same trap that destroyed the Byzantine Empire. They created so many laws that they often said that they employed more tax collectors than there were people left to pay taxes. Even in computer science, in a distributed network, you solve a problem by reaching a consensus despite the presence of nodes that disagree. Today, the danger of democracy has always been the fear that the majority will oppress the minority. That has become the objective today in adversarial politics, and I fear it has become the norm because we have too many lawyers who see the world in an adversarial confrontation. The United States has only 5% of the world’s population but 66% of the world’s lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years. It has been an unreachable quest to limit punitive damages. People spill hot coffee on themselves and then sue the establishment for $20 million. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies pay bribes to ensure their immunity. If a car blows up and the manufacturer was responsible, they can be sued. A vaccine that kills or sterilizes someone is immune thanks to bribes to our “representatives.” It boils down to the same old saying – it depends on who you know. Perhaps it should be modified to who you pay. Any tort reform legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democratic Party because they are the party with an overwhelming number of lawyers who will never vote against their own self-interest. No different from Goldman Sachs installing people in every department of the government that deals with finance. It is a warning g sign that 99% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party. The ABA Journal also confirms that trial lawyers donate to the Democrats – not Republicans. Without term limits, we are simply doomed. We cannot bar attorneys from running for office. We just have to understand that the legal system is trained to be adversarial, and this is why the nation is on the brink of civil war and they have reinstated the cold war with Russia and China. Courts were there to keep society “civil” where disputes were to be resolved peacefully. The courts are no longer impartial, and judges have way too much power just to seal records and refuse to allow the people to see the truth. The rule of law has collapsed in America and that is one of the items on the checklist for the fall of the United States that we can check off now. Lawyers are a necessary part of society. My father was a lawyer. But we cannot allow this training in adversarial confrontation to consume the entire society. Even the conflict with Russia reflects this win at all cost doctrine and refusal to negotiate or compromise only leads to war. The bottom line with lawyers in government is that they also know how to craft laws and then circumvent them. As I have said before, I was invited by Edmon Safra to the IMF dinner in DC where he rented the entire National Gallery in October 1998. It was illegal to buy a politician dinner, so you could have lobster, filets, whatever. As long as we stood, it was not considered a dinner but Hor D’erves. There are loopholes for everything. This is the problem. When the Democrats seek to plunder the rich, it becomes their way of life. They no longer know how to run for office without promising to tax the evil rich. They create for themselves a legal system that authorizes their progressiveness denying equal justice for all and a moral code that glorifies discrimination based on wealth which is somehow justified.

MA, Alexei Navalny – behind the curtain February 19, 2024 What the Western press omits is that Navalny was an undercover CIA asset and also an advocate of an OPEN SOCIETY. While the corruption in Russia took place on a grand scale before Navalny graduated from school in 2001, he did buy into the propaganda against Putin launched by Berezovsky and crew when their attempt to blackmail Yeltsin collapsed in 1998 and has been propagated ever since by the American Neocons who were intimately involved. I laid out the truth behind all the assassinations that people attributed to Putin when, in fact, the benefactor was Berezovsky, who even called me when I refused to invest $10 billion into their scheme to take over Russia. When Edmond Safra was assassinated on December 3rd, 1999, that is when they created the contempt to prevent any trial in my case because they then realized this would create a political nightmare. I believe the CIA took out Safra. Boris Nemtsov (1959-2015) was involved with Hermitage Capital Management, the company I was being solicited to inject $10 billion. Nemtsov was named in a 1999 RICO suit Avisma Titano Magnes v. Dart Management. That lawsuit alleged that Bank Menatep, owned by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, one of Berezovsky’s Seven oligarchs, had a controlling interest in titanium producer Avisma. They forced Avisma to sell its titanium below market price to offshore companies that they secretly controlled. They then sold the titanium at market prices, funneling the profits back to the defendants and Bank Menatep. Bill Browder of Hermitage Capital Management said that Nemtsov was his “indispensable ally” in pushing his Magnitsky Act, which indeed in itself created countless enemies by targeting private individuals in some revenge scheme. Plenty of people have criticized Putin, who have not been assassinated. In the Plot to Seize Russia, I went through all the assassinations, and they pointed to Berezovsky, whom I was warned not to get involved with. When I refused to invest $10 billion into Hermitage Capital Management, Berezovsky called me to try to pursue me to join the scheme where they would have all the riches of Russia from gold, platinum, diamonds, and oil flowing through their hands. Like the Weapons of Mass Destruction that never existed in Iraq, wars are routinely created on lies. The First Victim in WAR is always the truth
