Sam Bankman-Fried’s Criminal Trial Judge Is Married to Law Partner of Firm that Arranged the FTX-BlockFi Deal By  Pam Martens and Russ Martens Last week the New York Times  did a puff piece  on the judge that will be presiding over the Sam Bankman-Fried criminal trial in the Federal courthouse in lower Manhattan. The judge is Ronnie Abrams. The narrative at the New York Times is that Abrams’ “husband, Greg Andres, is an accomplished former Brooklyn federal prosecutor….” Our take is that Greg Andres is part of Ronnie Abrams’ immediate household and a law partner of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, a law firm that has problematic ties to Bankman-Fried’s bankrupt crypto exchange, FTX, and another crypto firm it became enmeshed with, BlockFi, which is also now in bankruptcy.

The Keystone of Corruption: FTX, Ukraine, Money Laundering Operations, the FBI and the Crypto Cookie Jar BY POLITICAL MOONSHINE  2022 T o understand the complexities of the FTX scandal in one of two   epicenters   of The Biden Crime Family’s corruption, crime and treason – Ukraine – is actually quite simple at a fundamental level [the other epicenter is   China .] Money laundering is a hallmark feature of enterprise fraud operations and if you swill the Moonshine, you know that’s the hub of the wheelhouse; what Moonshine specializes in, and what permitted the full body of exclusive work into COVID-19 [around 350 articles drawing back to early 2020] to thoroughly evidence the first claim that COVID-19 was a construct of enterprise fraud. What’s COVID-19 have to do with FTX? Everything. COVID-19 threads through literally everything and it’s beyond the scope of comprehension that Americans have yet to piece it all together for full comprehension. I wish more would swill...

Con Them With Kindness – “Longtermism” and “Effective Altruism” are the New Faces of Transhumanism The FTX crypto scandal has unmasked the hypocrisy that drives our “philanthropic” elites Joe Allen Futurists don’t just predict coming events. They also seek to shape them. Each prediction is framed to bring about change in a certain direction, whether by bold promises or doomsday prophecies. For instance, when you hear warnings that artificial intelligence could outsmart humankind and destroy us all—or more precisely, if you believe those claims—there is no choice but to rethink your long-term strategy. Maybe you smash the machines preemptively. Or maybe you teach the AI to be nice and then jam a Neuralink trode in your brain to keep up with the conversation. To the extent our immediate decisions are guided by these imagined futures, we’re all unwitting tools of the futurist. After the spectacular crash of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, the twin philosophies of “effective altruism” and...
