Lawyer for Virgin Islands Reveals JPMorgan Flagged Over a Billion in Financial Transactions with Jeffrey Epstein Related to Sex Trafficking

That’s BILLION, with a “B”.   According to recently revealed court transcripts, in the US Virgin Islands lawsuit against JPMorgan, in the aftermath of Epstein’s death the massive bank reported over $1 billion in suspicious activity reports to the U.S. Treasury.

Attorney for USVA, Mimi Liu, outlined details to Judge Jed Rakoff in U.S. District Court in Manhattan last Thursday.  According to the astonishing revelations, the entire financial relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and JPMorgan was centered around payments for sex trafficking.  There was no other business between the two entities in the 16 years of Epstein’s use of the bank.  All of the Epstein account transactions were based around his sex trafficking operation.

Additionally, in the aftermath of Epstein’s death, JPMorgan then reported at least $1 billion worth of transactions under the auspices of “suspicious activity.”  This certainly looks like what lawyer Mimi Liu called in court, “covering their ass.”

This certainly puts some semblance of scale to the issues around Epstein and his exploitation of the sex industry to his high profile and powerful clients.   The full scale is obviously unknown; however, if JPMorgan is reporting $1 billion in transactions that might be considered risk for them, we can only guess at the amount of the total transaction through the bank.

Keep in mind, JPMorgan already agreed to pay the Epstein Victims $290 million {GO DEEP} to make the victim issues go away.   What the hell is the scale of the full network of relationship if this amount of money is being used to throw a bag over it?

Pulling back to the 30,000 foot view, how the bank was operating certainly does start to make the shadows in the background start to become more visible.  After all, the U.S. government relied on JPMorgan to stabilize the banking sector recently.  And, when you overlay the influence of the BIG BANKS on domestic politics, and contrast in parallel with their assistance for corrupt activity like Epstein, suddenly the catchphrase “too big to fail” takes on an entirely new meaning.

Many of us have always said the top of the corrupt pyramid is banks, global financial institutions and multinationals.  The activity of the political industry takes place below the power structure of the system.  The banks control the politicians.  The banks control almost everything, and are the benefactors for the DNC, RNC, RGA, etc. etc.

This is the apex circle of influence, where Jeffrey Epstein operated in concert with the banks – who then facilitated his operations and were regulated by Epstein’s clients.

Trump on covid hype and fear-mongering

My understanding is Trump was forced into lockdowns and tricked on the vaxxes. Whatever the case, he sounds good now. His role in covid was played badly. Instead of getting out in front he should have established a means for doctors to openly and publicly discuss covid responses. Covid was his worst misstep but he has changed and I am sure he has learned. Politics is about what is possible in the moment and he is far and away our best candidate today. No one is perfect. I find it both wise and easy to forgive his early covid mistakes. ABN

This Disturbing Theory About the Maui Fires Makes Too Much Sense — Todd Callender Interview

direct link

UPDATE: I try to watch whatever I post before posting it but in the case of this video, I did not have time. The subject is important and generally Man in America is a good channel, so I put it up. A good friend sent me the following comment on this video:

Something is striking me as really off with this video. There is some other game being played.

Now in this video – the attorney just drop using militias under Trump to take back the gov. And demon Aliens being behind it all. It seems to be walking people into greater violence. That seems a bad bad idea. I am not sure what game is afoot – but a game nonetheless. Craziness.

Surely the Maui fires had some bad actor shit going on – but the conclusions are not necessarily the better way. It isn’t how to fight this – Gandhi, MLK and other already showed the way.

There is a book “American Gods” where different groups are convinced to fight and it all ends up as a blood offering to Odin – no matter who wins – Odin gets the blood he wants. Seems the game is of this sort. Mass chaos, death, confusion. Americans fighting Americans. The depop and a chance to take everything for the people with the biggest weapons.

I may have something to say after watching the video myself, but probably not. ABN

‘The Digital Service Act is nothing but a censorship act’ — Eva Vlaardingerbroek

Conditions in USA are the same since none of our censorship has ever been voted on or fashioned by representatives fairly elected. In fact, due to widespread election fraud, the powers that control Biden, MSM, social media, our schools, and other major institutions are exactly what Ursula is—a wicked tyrant. The only difference is we don’t even know who they are, not exactly. Tyrannical rule by stealth and deceit, truly a wicked formula. ABN

BRICS 11: Strategic Tour de Force — Pepe Escobar

Chinese President Xi Jinping defined all the major decisions embedded in the 15th BRICS summit in South Africa as “historic”. That may be seen as an understatement.

It will take time for the Global South, or Global Majority, or “Global Globe” (copyright President Lukashenko), not to mention the stunned collective West, to fully grasp the enormity of the new strategic stakes.

President Putin, for his part, described the negotiations on BRICS expansion as quite difficult. By now a relatively accurate picture is emerging of what really went down on that table in Johannesburg.

India wanted 3 new members. China wanted as many as 10. A compromise was finally reached, with 6 members: Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Argentina and Ethiopia.

So from now on it’s BRICS 11. And that’s just the beginning. Starting with the rotating Russian presidency of BRICS on January 1, 2024, more partners will be progressively included, and most certainly a new round of full members will be announced at the BRICS 11 summit in Kazan in October next year.

So we may soon progress to BRICS 20 – on the way to BRICS 40. The G7, for all practical purposes, is sliding towards oblivion.

…The BRICS 11 Shock of the New, in the energy sphere, is a sharp historical counterpoint to the 1973 oil shock, after which Riyadh started wallowing in petrodollars. Now Saudi Arabia under MbS is operating a tectonic shift, in the process of becoming strategically aligned with Russia-China-India-Iran.

Diplomatic coup does not even begin to describe it. This is the second stage of the Russian-initiated and Chinese-finalized rapprochement between Riyadh and Tehran, recently sealed in Beijing. The Russia-China strategic leadership, working patiently in synch, never lost sight of the ball.

Excellent analysis, straight to the point. US neocons have brought us to this dismal end. Like a tribe of uneducable adolescents they have wreaked havoc with US and deep Western interests as well as global interests for all. Self-aggrandizement has been the neocon only goal throughout their thirty year reign over USA and the West, and all the world can see it. ABN

BRICS welcomes new members in push to reshuffle world order

  • Summary
  • Bloc adds Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina and UAE
  • Expansion could lend global clout to BRICS
  • Group leaves door open to further expansion

JOHANNESBURG, Aug 24 (Reuters) – The BRICS bloc of developing nations agreed on Thursday to admit Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates in a move aimed at accelerating its push to reshuffle a world order it sees as outdated.

In deciding in favour of an expansion – the bloc’s first in 13 years – BRICS leaders left the door open to future enlargement as dozens more countries voiced interest in joining a grouping they hope can level the global playing field.

The expansion adds economic heft to BRICS, whose current members are China, the world’s second largest economy, as well as Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa. It could also amplify its declared ambition to become a champion of the Global South.

But long-standing tensions could linger between members who want to forge the grouping into a counterweight to the West – notably China, Russia and now Iran – and those that continue to nurture close ties to the United States and Europe.

“This membership expansion is historic,” Chinese President Xi Jinping, the bloc’s most stalwart proponent of enlargement, said. “It shows the determination of BRICS countries for unity and cooperation with the broader developing countries.”

This is a consequence of the NATO-neocon massacre of Ukraine and wanton provocation of Russia. Most of the world sees it for what it is and is disgusted by it. The sanctions on Russia failed, hurting only Europe and the West. Our American elitists have proved once again that they suck at everything but their own self-aggrandizement, and even that may backfire on them. ABN
