Trump just pardoned the Soros pal who “broke the bank of England” with Soros (and current Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent) for a financial crime he pled guilty to.
Lewis is part of what the NYT once called a currency trading (and manipulating) “cabal” that also included Jimmy Goldsmith, arguably Epstein’s first major contact in the world of elite finance back in the early 1970s. (Epstein was arguably part of this cabal after the NYT wrote them in the mid-1990s, given the multiple attestations to his abilities in “currency stabilization” and the reverse and currency trading in general)
I first wrote about Lewis years ago (2019) because he has created his own de facto state in El Bolsón, Argentina, where he has bought out the local government and has his staff regularly threaten to kill (and has nearly succeeded) locals if they try and access the public lake his mansion borders. However, according to sources I spoke with when I traveled there to report about it for MintPress, he allows IDF soldiers on vacation in South America to access the lake and his property, they brag about it in local hostals.
He also owns an airstrip that the Argentine govt oddly has no oversight of what comes in or out and locals who suggested planes were using it to make suspect trips to the Falkland Islands ended up having their living room shot up.
In addition, he is a close business associate of Marcelo Mindlin, who long with Eduardo Elzstain, are the men Soros hand-picked to run his Argentine interests until they parted ways a few years ago. Mindlin and Lewis jointly control most of Argentina’s power grid and Elzstain is one of the biggest forces in real estate and banking as well as the host of the Llao Llao Forum, where Argentine business elites meet behind closed doors (like a South American WEF). Elzstain and Mindlin are interestingly BIG Javier Milei backers. Maybe something to think about given that a long-time Soros associate now running the Treasury Department wants to use billions in taxpayer funds to keep him afloat.
It’s not “America First” it’s “Criminal Banker Syndicate First”
Pathocracy is the rule on earth. Psychopaths climb easily to the top, even flow to the top, where ruthless gangs rule.
It’s possible AI can fix this by providing reliable objective viewpoints or guardrails, but not very likely.
In Buddhism, the Frist Noble Truth is the human realm is characterized by delusion.
This is normally processed with the philosophical distinction that there are relative truths and ultimate truths.
Ultimate truth is enlightenment, nirvana. Relative truth is all the other stuff that causes suffering.
Some Buddhist tradition emphasize ultimate truth and some balance ultimate and relative truths, meaning some are more involved in this world and willing to attempt improving it. I am one of those. ABN
