What In The Ever Living F*** Was Jeffrey Epstein Doing on the Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission? Epstein was a member of the invite-only organization for over a decade. And yes, I know how cracy this all sounds.

Iran Used Tether Crypto to Evade Sanctions. Tether's Banker is Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick The single best thing we can do to shut down criminals, terrorists, cartels, rogue states and government corruption would be to criminalize cryptocurrency.

Iran, Venezuela, Hamas, Hezbollah, Mexican drug cartels: every one of them launders and transfers money through Howard Lutnick’s company Tether - which was started with help from Lutnick’s next-door neighbour, Jeffrey Epstein.

Jon Stewart is right. Economics is Bunk. Want Proof? The "Nobel Prize" for Economics is Fake Created in 1968 by the Swedish Central Bank over the objections of the Nobel family, the "Nobel Prize for Economics" has created a veneer of respectability to ideas crafted to undermine democracy.

Jon Stewart (of the @thedailyshow.com) is right, and the "Nobel Laureate" economist he had on his podcast was wrong.

How wrong?

Well, to start, there's no such thing as a Nobel Prize in Economics.

(Below, from the Nobel website: "Not a Nobel Prize")

I do not know of a discipline that has worse intellectual standards than Economics.
How bad is it? Well, the "Nobel Prize for Economics" is a fraud. It was invented by the Swedish Central bank in the 60s.
This guy is not a Nobel Laureate, but he thinks he is.
That's how bad it is.

Files Showed Jeffrey Epstein Was a Guest at Conrad Black's Lavish 60th Birthday Party for Barbara Amiel. The DOJ Just Deleted It. Trump pardoned convicted corporate criminal Conrad Black, who has been protecting Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for decades. Who else is protecting Conrad Black?

Conrad Black has been shielding Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein from the consequences of their actions for decades.

But the @nationalpost.com.web.brid.gy wonβ€˜t write about it, and neither will anyone else.

Harper was a terrible Prime Minister who only ever won by cheating. People were charged and convicted of elections offenses - sometimes massive schemes - in 2008, 2008, and 2011.
Harper governed during a massive oil boom, that crashed in 2014. His economic policies were a disaster.

Seven Months On, The National Enquirer's Barefaced Lies in Defense of Trump Sure Make Him Look Guilty "Trump did nothing - Jeff Epstein said so!" is not the convincing argument Trump's allies and lawyers think it is.

The National Enquirer's denials from a few months ago turned out to be blatant gaslighting - and there is plenty of overlap between the liars, Trump, Epstein, and Conrad Black.

Why Is Canadian Media Silent on Conrad Black Being in the Epstein Files? From Les Wexner andAlan Dershowitz, to Ghislaine Maxwell & Donald Trump, the Venn Diagram of Conrad Black's and Epstein's overlap is a circle. So why, in Canada, is Black a pundit and not a pariah?

Why is Canadian media silent on Conrad Black being in the Epstein files?
Black is friends with Maxwell and Trump has been writing op-eds minimizing these crimes. Why are we protecting the Epstein class?

In this e-mail, a sender sends a link about Mark Zuckerberg’s wedding to Priscilla Chan. β€œCan't believe it and so sad, I could be instead of her, lol”

Epstein replies: β€œHe’s gay”

In the National Post's Rundown of Canadians in the Epstein Files, Omitting Conrad Black is Journalistic Malpractice Tristan Hopper's piece mentions Mark Carney's news mentions, but not Epstein attending Conrad Black's wife's birthday party, or Epstein sharing anonymous tips calling Black "criminal" to tabloids.

Mark Carney and Stephen Harper are both 'the smartest guy in the room' β€” and that's not all they have in common β€” Toronto Star The former Conservative prime minister is now one of the people whose advice the current Liberal prime minister seeks, Tonda MacCharles writes.

This is incredibly bad but not surprising news, as both men are in experts in junk economics.

If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News.

Think of the ratings!

Carney's Speech Shows Davos & the WEF Don't Understand the Depth of the Crisis We Face Yes, we are in a global crisis. No, it does not have to keep escalating. Yes, countries can act on their own now, because more of the same is not going to work.

Why are we stuck in debates about what label to put on it? It’s a way of intellectualizing what it a blatantly criminal administration.

A mobster is running the US, and bought and paid for criminals are letting him do it.

This is a lot less heartening, but maybe a reporter covering the NDP leadership could ask about it.

The Plot to Steal the World: Crypto-Fascists, & Trump's World War Crime Spree If you want to Defund the Criminals, Drug Cartels, Human Traffickers, Terrorists and Rogue Nuclear states, Criminalize Crypto.

It’s been said that Trump uses scandals to cover up crimes. Crypto is being used by criminals and bad actors to capture entire states. Criminalizing crypto would make the world and safer and more lawful place.
