The Dem’s FTX Scandal Is Only Just Beginning

Original Article

Posted By: RockyTCB, 11/18/2022 6:18:34 AM

Not only was crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried’s company, FTX, allegedly a fraud, but it spent huge sums on recent elections to get Democrats into office. Was this a case of massive election fraud? If so, it isn’t just Bankman-Fried who should be punished. In case you’re not caught up on all this, FTX, a futures exchange for crypto-currencies including its own, exploded into the public’s attention just after the election. That’s when it was revealed that FTX had questionably transferred or “loaned” some $10 billion to its sister company, Alameda Research, to “fund risky bets,” a highly questionable move seemingly to shore up Alameda’s finances. And yes, FTX was a big deal.

He and a few others should be keel-hauled, boiled in oil, drawn and quartered and their remains fed to hogs, but there will likely be nothing done.

The Dems know they can pretty much get away with anything and will simply ignore any House investigations as conservative nonsense.

Crypto currency is always going to be a scam as there is nothing backing anything. Digital assets generated from digital bank accounts backed by what ? No gold or silver or even printed currency ( useless that is is). Once they eliminate cash, they have you by the kahunas and you have no proof you own anything.

Not just dems were involved either. My lousy senator, Bill Cassidy, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Sasse, and Richard Burr, all got their taste of the cash from FTX too. They were the ones who voted to impeach Trump. Not sure if it was before the vote (as a bribe), or after (as a reward). Either way we have a broken system that allows companies or PACs to get huge donations to congress!

It all started when Richard Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard. No one has faith in the money supply, what with Demonrats spending TRILLION$ with the mere stroke of a pen with ZERO accountability after the fact.

I recall NJ ex-governor Jon Corzine, who led some financial concern called MF Global and made several billion $ disappear. I think this was around 2012. There was an inquest and he testified that he had no idea what happened. Sometime later it was reported that the company had miraculously retrieved every penny. My hunch is that it was a laundering operation for the democrat's 2012 campaign: an off the books loan agreement that was quietly repaid with funny money. Thanks, I guess, to Corzine's stature and clout the Dems uncharacteristically kept to their agreement and the investors kept their money. Chances are the same thing is happening here.

The article completely omits the biggest part of the story, the Ukraine government is partners with FTX and others like Kuna and Everstake which are used to launder money which are a part of a myriad of ways its laundered by Ukraine. There is a reason the Democrats keep sending Ukraine billions and they are not doing it for free, that 40 million they got though FTX is chump change compared to what they have likely gotten over the years. $16.7 billion was spent on the midterms alone, the richest people in the world did not get rich giving that much money away, I suspect most of it is laundered taxpayer money in one form or another.

This guy Bankman-Fried dresses like Fetterman has a Harpo Marx hair style and sent probably $40 million to demosluts. He claims he's a Vegan but looks like a he drinks a case a beer a day. When asked how he made his money, he gives a double talk speech that makes no sense. He and fifteen of his friends live in a condo in the Bahama's and his girlfriend doesn't know math, but her father is friends with the treasury secretary and reacts to losing money like it's no big thing. To get an idea of how far reaching this FTX crap goes, even the umpires in major league baseball had FTX patches plastered to their uniforms while calling balls and strikes.

With respect to the Dems funding Ukraine, please note there are (too) many Republicans in Congress eagerly approving these huge aid bills for Ukraine. Especially troubling is how so many are combat veterans (Waltz and Crenshaw for eg) from our last two wars who ran for office saying their military experience meant they were more suspect of foreign interventions, etc. Apparently not.

If someone robbed a bank of a million dollars and then quickly gave a lot of it to a friend (or a political party), wouldn't the friend have to give back all the money once the guy was caught? And, wouldn't the friend be investigated as maybe being in on the robbery?

The world’s climate criminals aren’t the energy companies selling the fossil fuels needed to power a modern economy, nor those that make the products that burn those fuels. The real offenders are the global warming alarmists who have once again revealed what the game is, and it has nothing to do with protecting the environment. This year’s United Nations climate hootenanny, the 27th Congress of Parties, produced an agreement in which rich nations will pay reparations to poorer ones for the damage that their energy consumption has supposedly caused.

On Monday, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reported that it had “encountered” 230,678 migrants illegally crossing into the country, the highest number ever recorded in October and the third highest in the nation’s history. On Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas assured Congress that the border is secure and that “we are working day in and day out to enhance its security.” The back-to-back events lead to a question: How many times can a Cabinet secretary blatantly lie to Congress before he gets brought up on charges?

A recent online magazine article proposed a controversial idea: Those government and private officials who might have made serious errors during the COVID-19 pandemic should be granted “amnesty” for their mistakes. Will it fly? As the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows, the answer is “not likely.” The article in question, Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty, appeared in the Oct. 31 online edition of The Atlantic. Specifically, the article, written by Brown University economist Emily Oster (who herself was heavily criticized for supporting school reopenings during COVID) urged: We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty.

The moment the government’s inflation number came out last Thursday, the stock market rocketed upward. President Joe Biden took a victory lap. It was less than expected! Inflation is cooling off! Sounds wonderful. Except that prices rose in October by almost 8% year-over-year. That’s four times faster than the Federal Reserve Bank’s 2% target rate. And it marks the 20th consecutive month since inflation has been above the Fed’s target. It also comes on top of previous record-level price hikes. When prices started shooting up last year, the White House said it was no big deal because of the “base effect.” They said

On Sunday, five days after “Election Day,” Americans still didn’t know which party will have a majority in the House while two states were waiting to find out who their next governors will be. Even the BBC has been wondering “when will we know who won.” Have the delays been caused by incompetence or malign forces? Surely both, but it’s the latter that has had the biggest impact. Forty-two years ago, on the evening of Nov. 4, 1980, the day of the election, President Jimmy Carter conceded to his Republican challenger Ronald Reagan at 9:50 pm Eastern Standard Time.

Major League Baseball moved its 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta because the Legislature passed an election law that the Democrats and media claimed was designed to suppress the vote, especially that of minorities. Yet somehow Georgia voters turned out in higher numbers earlier this week than they did in the two previous midterm elections. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred owes Atlanta, the entire state of Georgia, the Braves, and, in fact, the entire nation an apology.

Among the many different issues that roiled the electorate in this 2022 midterm-election cycle, perhaps none had as large an impact as illegal immigration. On this issue, American voters remain fed up with the status quo and want major changes made, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. Given the more than 500% increase in illegal crossings in the last five years, we asked poll respondents shortly before the election what should be done about the “costly disruption of border cities, human trafficking, higher crime and suspected terrorists crossing the border.” One answer stood out as unworkable to the 1,359 voters who answered the online I&/TIPP Poll,

The anticipated red tsunami didn’t hit the U.S. in the midterm elections, which is a disappointment. Even so, beginning next year the Republicans will probably have a majority in the House and likely 50 lawmakers or, possibly, even a slight majority of 51 in the Senate. If what the Democrats and their propagandists in the media have been saying for years is correct, we’ve now entered America’s fascist stage. It’s a lie, of course, but let’s play along and take a look at what to expect from this coming regime of “fascism.”

"The Red Wave.” If you’ve been watching Fox News and frequenting conservative websites the last few weeks (and this commentator admits he does more than his share of both), you were hearing how Republicans were going to have another one of those massive 2010-style seat pickups in the House. Win 56 seats in the Senate. Celebrate upsets in Michigan and even New York governors’ mansions. Yeah, right. Fox News commentators (yeah, doing it again) in the wee hours of Wednesday morning were struggling to justify salvaging at least a “Red Ripple.” Turned out to be a Red Puddle. Of blood.

FDA Says Telling People Not to Take Ivermectin

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing. “The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court

Among the most troubling issues raised in the letter directed to Thomas Liddy with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office was the apparent co-mingling of ballots in black duffle bags in at least one polling location, which were successfully run through the on-site tabulators with those put in “Door 3” to be sent to the Election Department’s downtown Phoenix tabulation center because they could not be read.

Five people died in the shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs Saturday night, and 18 others were injured. Authorities say Anderson Lee Aldrich entered the gay club just before midnight and fired an unknown number of bullets from his AR-15-style long rifle before he was stopped by at least two 'heroic' patrons.

During an appearance on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures," McCarthy told anchor Maria Bartiromo that he will keep the promise he made in January to remove Swalwell and Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee and Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. McCarthy said Swalwell's association with a Chinese spy, Schiff’s promotion of the Steele dossier and Omar’s criticism of Israel disqualify them from serving on their respective panels.
