The US military has been unable to find any evidence that the Russian government paid bounties on US troops to Taliban-linked fighters in Afghanistan , confirming what was already obvious to anyone who hasn ’ t had their brain stem hijacked by mass media-induced Russophobia .
Two months after top Pentagon officials vowed to get to the bottom of whether the Russian government bribed the Taliban to kill American service members , the commander of troops in the region says a detailed review of all available intelligence has not been able to corroborate the existence of such a program .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a level of certainty that satisfies me , ” Gen. Frank McKenzie , commander of the U.S. Central Command , told NBC News .
McKenzie oversees U.S. troops in Afghanistan .
The U.S. continues to hunt for new information on the matter , he said .
“ We continue to look for that evidence , ” the general said .
“ I just haven ’ t seen it yet .
But … it ’ s not a closed issue.
” McKenzie ’ s comments , reflecting a consensus view among military leaders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a narrative that has been accepted as fact by Democrats and other Trump critics , including presidential nominee Joe Biden , who has cited Russian bounties in attacks on President Donald Trump .
Like many other critical voices , I said from the beginning that there was no reason to believe the Russian bounties narrative and that the mass publication of baseless and nonsensical claims circulated anonymously by US intelligence operatives constitutes journalistic malpractice .
There is no excuse for a reporter to ever present anonymous CIA press releases under the guise of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sense ; the US-centralized coalition in Afghanistan is a hostile occupying force and there are an essentially limitless number of people there who require no financial incentive to attack them .
But this is exactly what happened .
Once the news media had reported the unsubstantiated rumor given to them by anonymous spies , spinmeisters like Rachel Maddow began presenting it as an objective fact that had been fully authenticated , and from there the entire Democratic political/media class began months of loudly babbling about how suspicious it is that the US president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sanctioned Russia in response to this verified fact .
And it was never anything of the sort .
It was fake .
But now aggressions have been ramped up against Russia , Trump has been painted as a Putin puppet who hates the troops , Senate Democrats have introduced a bill mandating sanctions on any Russians involved in this imaginary conspiracy , and legislation has been passed making it harder for Trump to withdraw troops from Afghanistan .
The story did its job , and now that it ’ s proven false the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ignoring the new evidence which clearly shows it to have been bogus .
This story has been so ubiquitously promoted within the establishment liberal echo chamber that it ’ s impossible to list all the dishonest portrayals it ’ s been given since June , but to pick just a few recent examples : • Here ’ s a recent viral interview by Atlantic ‘ s Anne Applebaum with former FBI agent Peter Strzok in which he falsely cites Trump ’ s refusal to strike back at Russia over the Taliban bounties as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” toward the Kremlin .
• Here ’ s Biden falsely attacking Trump for not confronting Putin about the bounties story .
• Here ’ s sitting US Senator Richard Blumenthal falsely claiming “ Intelligence powerfully shows that the Kremlin offered the Taliban bounties for killing Americans in Afghanistan ” .
• Here ’ s sitting US Senator Tammy Duckworth falsely saying “ Donald Trump has gone 80 days without condemning Putin for putting reported bounties on our troops.
” • Here ’ s sitting US Congressman Ted Lieu falsely claiming “ Putin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US troops.
” • Here ’ s MSNBC star Joy Reid falsely asking why the president won ’ t “ condemn Russia for putting bounties on our troops.
” • Here ’ s renowned Harvard professor Laurence Tribe falsely claiming that Putin “ offered bounties on American troops killed in Afghanistan.
” Again , that ’ s just a very few very recent examples .
Now that their claims have proven false , how many of these highly influential people do you think are using their massive platforms to spread awareness of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you said zero , you are correct .
In fact Democratic Party influencers are even continuing to promote the debunked Russian bounties story many hours after the report debunking it became available on mainstream platforms .
Andrew Bates , Director of Rapid Response for the Biden campaign , just tweeted that “ Trump is giving Russia a pass for putting bounties on the heads of American service members.
” Again , this is hours after it ’ s been public knowledge that this is a completely false thing to assert .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We can absolutely expect establishment Democrats to continue bleating about Russian bounties in Afghanistan for as long as it is politically convenient to do so .
They never let the lack of evidence for their position get in the way before , and they won ’ t let it get in the way now .
The arguments that they make for their power-serving position are not designed to reflect truth or reality , they are designed to serve power .
That ’ s exactly what echo chambers are for .
An email @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Democratic Party insider John Podesta to billionaires George Soros , Peter Lewis , John Sperling , and Herb and Marion Sandler in 2007 with a detailed and structured overview of material the group had covered during a meeting they ’ d had in September ( to read the email click ‘ Attachments ’ and then ‘ 2008 Combined Fundraising , Message and Mobilization Plan ’ ) .
Among the thing these powerful manipulators discussed was the creation of a “ robust echo chamber ” to be used in the party ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attachment : And on page four : Usually when you see the names Podesta and Soros presented together it just means you stumbled into a bad corner of the internet pervaded by sloppy thinking and an irrational trust in anonymous 8chan posts , but in this WikiLeaks email we actually get a useful glimpse into the reason people can keep babbling about something that ’ s completely divorced from the truth without being smashed by cognitive dissonance .
The fact that echo chambers are actively created by establishment manipulators enables establishment-friendly narratives to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sunk them .
Several weeks ago I tweeted “ It ’ s clear that ‘ Russia paid bounties to Taliban fighters ’ is one of those narratives the propagandists decided to ram into mainstream consciousness until they force it to become consensus orthodoxy by repetition and sheer force of will , with zero interest in facts or evidence.
” This has indeed happened , and it will continue to happen .
The oligarchs who rule over us have so thoroughly divorced the information ecosystem from truth that they can get people to believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they understand that humans are storytelling animals and you control the humans by controlling the stories .
We will be unable to fight lies with truth until we collectively understand this fact as well as our oppressors .

The US military has been unable to find any evidence that the Russian government paid bounties on US troops to Taliban-linked fighters in Afghanistan, confirming what was already obvious to anyone who hasn’t had their brain stem hijacked by mass media-induced Russophobia.
NBC News reports the following:
Two months after top Pentagon officials vowed to get to the bottom of whether the Russian government bribed the Taliban to kill American service members, the commander of troops in the region says a detailed review of all available intelligence has not been able to corroborate the existence of such a program. “It just has not been proved to a level of certainty that satisfies me,” Gen.

But … it’s not a closed issue.” McKenzie’s comments, reflecting a consensus view among military leaders, underscores the lack of certainty around a narrative that has been accepted as fact by Democrats and other Trump critics, including presidential nominee Joe Biden, who has cited Russian bounties in attacks on President Donald Trump.

NYT "Russian bounties" report dropped on June 26.

At a time when Trump is giving Russia a pass for putting bounties on the heads of American service members. Team Trump needs so much reminding: this is A-M-E-R-I-C-A. "Trump ad asks people to support the troops. But it uses a picture of Russian jets" https://t.co/7CxCWBfXp7 — Andrew Bates (@AndrewBatesNC) September 15, 2020

And we can absolutely expect this to continue. We can absolutely expect establishment Democrats to continue bleating about Russian bounties in Afghanistan for as long as it is politically convenient to do so. They never let the lack of evidence for their position get in the way before, and they won’t let it get in the way now. The arguments that they make for their power-serving position are not designed to reflect truth or reality, they are designed to serve power. That’s exactly what echo chambers are for.
An email published by WikiLeaks in 2016 was sent by Democratic Party insider John Podesta to billionaires George Soros, Peter Lewis, John Sperling, and Herb and Marion Sandler in 2007 with a detailed and structured overview of material the group had covered during a meeting they’d had in September (to read the email click ‘Attachments’ and then ‘2008 Combined Fundraising, Message and Mobilization Plan’). Among the thing these powerful manipulators discussed was the creation of a “robust echo chamber” to be used in the party’s interests.
On page two of the attachment:
“Control the political discourse. So much effort over the past few years has been focused on better coordinating, strengthening, and developing progressive institutions and leaders. Now that this enhanced infrastructure is in place — grassroots organizing; multi-issue advocacy groups; think tanks; youth outreach; faith communities; micro-targeting outfits; the netroots and blogosphere — we need to better utilize these networks to drive the content of politics through a strong “echo chamber” and message delivery system”.
And on page four:
“Create a robust echo chamber with progressive messaging that spans from the opposition campaigns to outside groups, academic experts, and bloggers.”
Usually when you see the names Podesta and Soros presented together it just means you stumbled into a bad corner of the internet pervaded by sloppy thinking and an irrational trust in anonymous 8chan posts, but in this WikiLeaks email we actually get a useful glimpse into the reason people can keep babbling about something that’s completely divorced from the truth without being smashed by cognitive dissonance. The fact that echo chambers are actively created by establishment manipulators enables establishment-friendly narratives to remain afloat long after evidence should have sunk them.
Read the comments from liberals on this tweet from July. They were all 100% certain there was proof that Russia had paid bounties on US troops to Taliban-linked fighters, because people like @Maddow told them so. Now the top US commander in Afghanistan says there's no evidence. https://t.co/IJNDq1PPyK — Caitlin Johnstone ? (@caitoz) September 14, 2020

Durham was appointed by Barr to investigate the Russia investigators – including members of the Obama-Biden administration, the FBI and the DOJ.
Now, days after a top prosecutor on the Durham team resigned – reportedly over what she thought was “pressure from Barr to produce results before the November election,” the Democratic chairs of four House committees have demanded an “emergency investigation” into Durham’s probe, according to the Daily Caller.

The most significant scientific discovery since gravity has been hiding in plain sight for nearly a decade and its destructive potential to humanity is so enormous that the biggest war machine on the planet immediately deployed its vast resources to possess and control it , financing its research and development through agencies like the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) , the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) and HHS ’ BARDA .

NASA wants to spark a “ lunar gold rush ” by paying companies to extract rare earth metals ( REM ) from the moon .
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine recently tweeted that the space agency “ is buying lunar soil from a commercial provider !
It ’ s time to establish the regulatory certainty to extract and trade space resources.
” The moon holds hundreds of billions , if not trillions , of dollars of untapped resources , including fifteen lanthanides , as well as scandium and yttrium – used in modern electronics .
There ’ s also an abundance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with the potential to fuel clean nuclear fusion power plants .
This infographic from 911Metallurgist.com explains why NASA has set its eyes on the moon : In a blog post , Bridenstine said NASA ’ s Artemis project “ will lay the foundation for a sustained long-term presence on the lunar surface and use the Moon to validate deep space systems and operations before embarking on the much farther voyage to Mars.
” He said the push to mine moon rocks would fully comply with the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim to the moon or other celestial bodies .
Bridenstine said , “ we ’ re taking a critical step forward by releasing a solicitation for commercial companies to provide proposals for the collection of space resources.

We are putting our policies into practice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and discovery that will benefit all of humanity.
” “ This is one small step for space resources , but a giant leap for policy and precedent , ” Mike Gold , NASA ’ s chief of international relations , told Reuters .
“ They are paying the company to sell them a rock that the company owns .
That ’ s the product , ” Joanne Gabrynowicz , former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Space Law , said .

NASA wants to spark a “lunar gold rush” by paying companies to extract rare earth metals (REM) from the moon.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine recently tweeted that the space agency “is buying lunar soil from a commercial provider! It’s time to establish the regulatory certainty to extract and trade space resources.”
The moon holds hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars of untapped resources, including fifteen lanthanides, as well as scandium and yttrium – used in modern electronics. There’s also an abundance of Helium-3, a very rare gas, with the potential to fuel clean nuclear fusion power plants. This infographic from 911Metallurgist.com explains why NASA has set its eyes on the moon:
“Across history, human development has relied upon the finite resources available on Earth. But the moon – a seemingly barren rock – may actually be a treasure trove of rare resources vital to Earth’s future. And now, nations are looking upwards to a potential lunar gold rush,” 911Metallurgist.com states in the infographic’s intro.
In a blog post, Bridenstine said NASA’s Artemis project “will lay the foundation for a sustained long-term presence on the lunar surface and use the Moon to validate deep space systems and operations before embarking on the much farther voyage to Mars.” He said the push to mine moon rocks would fully comply with the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which outlines no country has a sovereign claim to the moon or other celestial bodies.
Bridenstine said, “we’re taking a critical step forward by releasing a solicitation for commercial companies to provide proposals for the collection of space resources.”
Adding that “when considering such proposals, we will require that all actions be taken in a transparent fashion, in full compliance with the Registration Convention, Article II and other provisions of the Outer Space Treaty, and all of our other international obligations.

“This is one small step for space resources, but a giant leap for policy and precedent,” Mike Gold, NASA’s chief of international relations, told Reuters.
“They are paying the company to sell them a rock that the company owns. That’s the product,” Joanne Gabrynowicz, former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Space Law, said. “A company has to decide for itself if it’s worth taking the financial and technological risk to do this to sell a rock.”
NASA’s attempt to begin mining the moon in 2025 could be an attempt to break China’s monopoly on REMs.

wearechange--2020-09-20--Glenn Greenwald Shocks With Explanation on Why Mainstream Media is Ignoring Assange Trial

Well-known journalist Glenn Greenwald has once again sparked intense debate on the Left by refusing to conform to any level of group-think .
On Friday he mused about the ongoing Julian Assange extradition trial in London , offering an explanation as to why mainstream US media has seemingly dropped Assange from its radar , despite during the early years of the most bombshell WikiLeaks revelations working closely with Assange in terms of corroborating coverage .
Greenwald started with a tweet acknowledging that Assange ’ s plight , which includes the possibility of being extradited to the United States where he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ received “ little media attention ” ultimately because it doesn ’ t have an easy partisan angle .
“ But another is that many liberals believe their political adversaries deserve to be in prison , ” Greenwald stated , going on the offensive .
And that ’ s where the most famous founding journalist at The Intercept began going off on liberals ’ exaggeration of what Trump represents and how he came to power : “ If you start from the premise that Trump is a fascist dictator who has brought Nazi tyranny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t that irrational to believe that anyone who helped empower Trump ( which is how they see Assange ) deserves to be imprisoned , hence the lack of concern about it , ” Greenwald said .
Essentially Greenwald is saying , ‘ no , Trump is not a Nazi ’ — and this flawed belief will only compound errors when it comes to other pressing issues such as Assange ’ s fate .
Greenwald previously addressed the “ authoritarian arguments ” which claimed the WikiLeaks founder does not deserve journalistic protections .

It's true that one reason that the Assange prosecution – despite its extreme dangers and consequences – is receiving so little media attention is that it doesn't have a partisan angle. But another is that many liberals believe their political adversaries deserve to be in prison. https://t.co/bViOmUAKDi — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 18, 2020
Greenwald started with a tweet acknowledging that Assange’s plight, which includes the possibility of being extradited to the United States where he faces certain life in prison, has received “little media attention” ultimately because it doesn’t have an easy partisan angle.
“But another is that many liberals believe their political adversaries deserve to be in prison,” Greenwald stated, going on the offensive.
And that’s where the most famous founding journalist at The Intercept began going off on liberals’ exaggeration of what Trump represents and how he came to power:
“If you start from the premise that Trump is a fascist dictator who has brought Nazi tyranny to the US, then it isn’t that irrational to believe that anyone who helped empower Trump (which is how they see Assange) deserves to be imprisoned, hence the lack of concern about it,” Greenwald said.

Essentially Greenwald is saying, ‘no, Trump is not a Nazi’ — and this flawed belief will only compound errors when it comes to other pressing issues such as Assange’s fate.
Greenwald previously addressed the “authoritarian arguments” which claimed the WikiLeaks founder does not deserve journalistic protections.
One of the most dangerous and authoritarian arguments you’ll hear from those who support Trump DOJ’s attempt to imprison Assange is that it doesn’t endanger press freedoms because “Assange is not a journalist.” Leave side the huge stories he’s broken & journalism prizes he won… pic.twitter.com/J94n5E5tMO — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) September 9, 2020

wearechange--2020-09-19--Renowned Historian Stephen Cohen Has Died. Remember His Urgent Warnings Against the New Cold War.

Stephen F Cohen , the renowned American scholar on Russia and leading authority on US-Russian relations , has died of lung cancer at the age of 81 .
As one of the precious few western voices of sanity on the subject of Russia while everyone else has been frantically flushing their brains down the toilet , this is a real loss .
I myself have cited Cohen ’ s expert analysis many times in my own work , and his perspective has played a formative role in my understanding of what ’ s really going on with the monolithic cross-partisan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against Moscow .
In a world that is increasingly confusing and awash with propaganda , Cohen ’ s death is a blow to humanity ’ s desperate quest for clarity and understanding .
I don ’ t know how long Cohen had cancer .
I don ’ t know how long he was aware that he might not have much time left on this earth .
What I do know is he spent much of his energy in his final years urgently trying to warn the world about the rapidly escalating danger of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new reality he saw as in many ways completely unprecedented .
The last of the many books Cohen authored was 2019 ’ s War with Russia ?
, detailing his ideas on how the complex multi-front nature of the post-2016 cold war escalations against Moscow combines with Russiagate and other factors to make it in some ways more dangerous even than the most dangerous point of the previous cold war .
“ You know it ’ s easy to joke about this , except that we ’ re at maybe the most dangerous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and maybe ever , ” Cohen told The Young Turks in 2017 .
“ And the reason is that we ’ re in a new cold war , by whatever name .
We have three cold war fronts that are fraught with the possibility of hot war , in the Baltic region where NATO is carrying out an unprecedented military buildup on Russia ’ s border , in Ukraine where there is a civil and proxy war between Russia and the west , and of course in Syria , where Russian aircraft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same territory .
Anything could happen.
” Cohen repeatedly points to the most likely cause of a future nuclear war : not one that is planned but one which erupts in tense , complex situations where “ anything could happen ” in the chaos and confusion as a result of misfire , miscommunication or technical malfunction , as nearly happened many times during the last cold war .
“ I think this is the most dangerous moment in American-Russian relations , at least since the Cuban missile crisis , ” Cohen told Democracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s more dangerous , because it ’ s more complex .
Therefore , we—and then , meanwhile , we have in Washington these—and , in my judgment , factless accusations that Trump has somehow been compromised by the Kremlin .
So , at this worst moment in American-Russian relations , we have an American president who ’ s being politically crippled by the worst imaginable—it ’ s unprecedented .
Let ’ s stop and think .
No American president has ever been accused , essentially , of treason .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here , or that his associates have committed treason.
” “ Imagine , for example , John Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis , ” Cohen added .
“ Imagine if Kennedy had been accused of being a secret Soviet Kremlin agent .
He would have been crippled .
And the only way he could have proved he wasn ’ t was to have launched a war against the Soviet Union .
And at that time , the option was nuclear war.
” “ A recurring theme of my recently published book War @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cold War is more dangerous , more fraught with hot war , than the one we survived , ” Cohen wrote last year .
“ Histories of the 40-year US-Soviet Cold War tell us that both sides came to understand their mutual responsibility for the conflict , a recognition that created political space for the constant peace-keeping negotiations , including nuclear arms control agreements , often known as détente .
But as I also chronicle in the book , today ’ s American Cold Warriors blame only Russia , specifically ‘ Putin ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or incentive for rethinking any US policy toward post-Soviet Russia since 1991.
” “ Finally , there continues to be no effective , organized American opposition to the new Cold War , ” Cohen added .
“ This too is a major theme of my book and another reason why this Cold War is more dangerous than was its predecessor .
In the 1970s and 1980s , advocates of détente were well-organized , well-funded , and well-represented , from grassroots politics and universities to think tanks , mainstream media , Congress , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House .
Today there is no such opposition anywhere.
” “ A major factor is , of course , ‘ Russiagate ’ , ” Cohen continued .
“ As evidenced in the sources I cite above , much of the extreme American Cold War advocacy we witness today is a mindless response to President Trump ’ s pledge to find ways to ‘ cooperate with Russia ’ and to the still-unproven allegations generated by it .
Certainly , the Democratic Party is not an opposition party in regard to the new Cold War.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ been a fiercely opposed , crisis-ridden policy pursuit , but one manifestly in the interests of the United States and the world , ” Cohen wrote in another essay last year .
“ No American president can achieve it without substantial bipartisan support at home , which Trump manifestly lacks .
What kind of catastrophe will it take—in Ukraine , the Baltic region , Syria , or somewhere on Russia ’ s electric grid—to shock US Democrats and others out of what has been called , not unreasonably , their Trump Derangement Syndrome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national security ?
Meanwhile , the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has recently reset its Doomsday Clock to two minutes before midnight.
” And now Stephen Cohen is dead , and that clock is inching ever closer to midnight .
The Russiagate psyop that he predicted would pressure Trump to advance dangerous cold war escalations with no opposition from the supposed opposition party has indeed done exactly that with nary a peep of criticism from either partisan faction of the political/media class .
Cohen has for years been correctly predicting this chilling scenario which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on earth , even while his own life was nearing its end .
And now the complex cold war escalations he kept urgently warning us about have become even more complex with the addition of nuclear-armed China to the multiple fronts the US-centralized empire has been plate-spinning its brinkmanship upon , and it is clear from the ramping up of anti-China propaganda since last year that we are being prepped for those aggressions to continue to increase .
We should heed the dire warnings that Cohen spent his last breaths issuing .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imperialist aggressions which benefit nobody and call for détente with Russia and China .
We should begin creating an opposition to this world-threatening flirtation with armageddon before it is too late .
Every life on this planet may well depend on our doing so .
Stephen Cohen is dead , and we are marching toward the death of everything .
God help us all .

Stephen F Cohen, the renowned American scholar on Russia and leading authority on US-Russian relations, has died of lung cancer at the age of 81.
As one of the precious few western voices of sanity on the subject of Russia while everyone else has been frantically flushing their brains down the toilet, this is a real loss. I myself have cited Cohen’s expert analysis many times in my own work, and his perspective has played a formative role in my understanding of what’s really going on with the monolithic cross-partisan manufacturing of consent for increased western aggressions against Moscow.
In a world that is increasingly confusing and awash with propaganda, Cohen’s death is a blow to humanity’s desperate quest for clarity and understanding.
Very sad. A huge loss. America’s leading expert on Russia, Stephen Cohen, has died, aged 81. Stephen was subjected to a horrible smear campaign when he questioned US-policy towards Moscow after the 2014 estrangement.

I don’t know how long Cohen had cancer. I don’t know how long he was aware that he might not have much time left on this earth. What I do know is he spent much of his energy in his final years urgently trying to warn the world about the rapidly escalating danger of nuclear war, which in our strange new reality he saw as in many ways completely unprecedented.

We should heed the dire warnings that Cohen spent his last breaths issuing.

We should begin creating an opposition to this world-threatening flirtation with armageddon before it is too late. Every life on this planet may well depend on our doing so.
Stephen Cohen is dead, and we are marching toward the death of everything. God help us all.

The flight logs for Jeffrey Epstein’s private planes, including his “Lolita Express” jet, have been subpoenaed by the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands, in a move that is believed to have sparked a panicked response from the wealthy and elite figures who partied with the deceased pedophile and disgraced financier.
Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George has demanded that detailed lists documenting every passenger to step onboard his aircraft be handed over, so that courts can shed further light on the crimes he carried out while residing in his opulent mansion in the U.S. territory.
The lists would encompass anyone who flew on his four helicopters and three planes spanning the years 1998 until August 2019, when Epstein allegedly ‘killed’ himself in a New York jail while facing a potential prison sentence of up to 45 years on charges of pedophilia and sex trafficking.
The subpoena is a part of a broader against Epstein’s estate filed by the Virgin Islands’ attorney general, which alleges 22 counts including human trafficking, aggravated rape, forced labor, prostitution, child abuse and neglect, reports The Mirror.

Deutsche Bank , along with several of the world ’ s biggest commercial banks , are embroiled in a global money laundering scandal that spans over two decades , as documents leaked to BuzzFeed show the movement of $ 2 Trillion in illicit cash through the Western banking establishment .

The Trump-linked German bank is , by far , the most beset by the suspicious activity records totaling well over half of the $ 2 Trillion-dollar sum the FinCEN Files trace , with approximately $ 1.3 Trillion of it moving through the scandal-plagued financial institution .

Much like Lehman Brothers and Bear Sterns were sacrificed for the subprime mortgage crisis and opened the door for even greater consolidation among the “ too-big-to-fail ” banks , a calculated take-down of Deutsch Bank will , no doubt , allow for a similar consolidation to occur at a far larger scale .

Deutsche Bank, along with several of the world’s biggest commercial banks, are embroiled in a global money laundering scandal that spans over two decades, as documents leaked to BuzzFeed show the movement of $2 Trillion in illicit cash through the Western banking establishment.
The cache of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) detailing years of potentially illegal banking transactions were shared with 108 news organizations in 88 countries, according to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). These records are a requirement for any financial institution that engages in dollar-denominated transactions anywhere in the world and are filed with the Treasury Department’s intelligence unit, the Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network or FinCEN.
The more than 2,100 SARs released to the press are considered “historical” documents by the implicated banks, who responded with their usual Pontius Pilate routine when reached for comment by the media and washed their hands of the matter by claiming to have fulfilled their legal obligation before the U.S. Treasury “as part of our partnership with regulators and law enforcement to protect the global financial system,” as a Deutsche Bank statement puts it.
The Trump-linked German bank is, by far, the most beset by the suspicious activity records totaling well over half of the $2 Trillion-dollar sum the FinCEN Files trace, with approximately $1.3 Trillion of it moving through the scandal-plagued financial institution. Most of the press coverage in the U.S., so far, has focused on the ties to Russian oligarchs and assorted narratives that are hovering over election-year American political discourse. Deutsche Bank’s central role, nevertheless, betrays a far greater problem as the bank’s potential collapse could send the financial world into a tailspin and result in the greatest economic crisis in history.
1MDB
As European bank stocks tumble amid the revelations, FinCEN condemned the unlawful disclosure of the SARs to the press and warned that it could “impact the national security of the United States.” Meanwhile, the U.S. Justice Department is in the middle of the largest asset-recovery effort in U.S. history, filing its latest complaint regarding $300 Million the department is attempting to recover for an $11.7 Billion Malaysian sovereign wealth fund called 1MDB, one of the major cases highlighted by ICIJ in its report on the leaked SARs.
Absent from most coverage of the FinCEN leaks, however, is how all of these banks and financial institutions are not only laundering trillions, but are doing so together and in consort with each other, as is plainly demonstrated in the 1MDB fraud case. Most publications point the finger at JP Morgan Chase as the entity that moved more than $1 Billion for Jho Low, one of the 1MDB’s central figures, but they fail to mention the role of Goldman Sachs, which orchestrated a significant part of the scheme that defrauded the Malaysian people and led to criminal charges against 17 of its current and former executives, including Goldman Sachs former vice-chairman and now president of Chinese mega eCommerce platform Alibaba, Michael Evans.
The Malaysian government recently agreed to drop charges against Goldman Sachs after a $2.5 Billion-dollar settlement was reached with the giant investment bank; nearly a fourth of the $10.5 billion-dollar debt hole it created for Malaysia’s ruling coalition, resulting in the cancelation of major infrastructure projects. Deutsche Bank was also involved in the multi-pronged attack of the Western financial vultures on the Malay through the provision of hundreds of millions in stock-buy-back loans through the 1MDB fund for the former prime minister, who was convicted in July of graft.
A Hit Job?
The ostensible purpose of the 1MDB fund was to finance infrastructure projects, like the oil and gas pipeline projects shelved as a result. But, according to a report by Business Insider, the money “veered into lavish spending,” such as art purchases, and, quite fittingly, to the production of the “The Wolf of Wall Street” – a story about the unmitigated fraud and graft that the very same people and institutions ensnared in this scandal carry out day in and day out.
It is reported that former Goldman Sachs CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, met with the disgraced Malaysian PM and the fugitive businessman, Jho Low, before the fund’s debut in 2009. Another lawsuit brought against Goldman Sachs details the investment bank’s “central role in a long-running effort to corrupt former executives” of An Abu Dhabi wealth fund called International Petroleum Investment Corporation and its subsidiary, Aabar Investments, which partnered with the 1MDB, calling it “a massive, international conspiracy to embezzle billions of dollars.”

Much like Lehman Brothers and Bear Sterns were sacrificed for the subprime mortgage crisis and opened the door for even greater consolidation among the “too-big-to-fail” banks, a calculated take-down of Deutsch Bank will, no doubt, allow for a similar consolidation to occur at a far larger scale.

After publishing guidance warning about the serious risks of “ airborne ” infection associated with SARS-CoV-2 , the CDC just seriously harmed its own credibility by acknowledging Monday that it had posted the new guidance “ in error ” , following a pressure campaign from the WHO .
Scientists have been gathering evidence that the novel coronavirus plaguing the world spreads via aerosol particles practically since it first emerged , and back in July , a group of 200 scientists sent a letter to the WHO urging the international public health agency to change its guidance on the spread of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that the WHO hasn ’ t updated its views to incorporate new research showing that aerosol spread is a much greater threat than touching contaminated surfaces , or via large droplets spread by close contact between individuals .
Yet , the WHO has refused these overtures , and this week it successfully convinced the CDC to do the same .

After publishing guidance warning about the serious risks of “airborne” infection associated with SARS-CoV-2, the CDC just seriously harmed its own credibility by acknowledging Monday that it had posted the new guidance “in error”, following a pressure campaign from the WHO.
Scientists have been gathering evidence that the novel coronavirus plaguing the world spreads via aerosol particles practically since it first emerged, and back in July, a group of 200 scientists sent a letter to the WHO urging the international public health agency to change its guidance on the spread of the disease. The problem scientists argued is that the WHO hasn’t updated its views to incorporate new research showing that aerosol spread is a much greater threat than touching contaminated surfaces, or via large droplets spread by close contact between individuals.
Yet, the WHO has refused these overtures, and this week it successfully convinced the CDC to do the same.
After the WHO announced earlier that it had reached out to the CDC over the guidance change, the agency informed American media outlets that a “draft version” of the guidance had been “posted in error”.
“A draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error to the agency’s official website,” the CDC said. “CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Once this process has been completed, the update language will be posted.”
Even so, the American media has grown increasingly convinced that aerosols significantly contribute to overall spread of the virus, with ABC News suggesting yesterday that expensive UV-light powered surface cleaners were merely examples of “hygiene theater”. For months, the CDC has insisted that these large droplets are the primary mode of transmission, which is why – it argued – people must wear masks in public, because masks are effective at blocking large particles.
However, masks – at least, homemade clothe masks with imperfect seals – aren’t as effective at filtering all aerosol particles. Furthermore, research suggests aerosol particles released when a person sneezes can reach up to 26 feet.
