"It’s almost beautiful, in the way that certain deep-sea horrors are beautiful, translucent, many-tentacled, glowing with their own bioluminescent corruption.."

One of the better descriptors of this financialist madness, and emplaced within one of the better analyses of the looting and connivery that passes for 'governance'. We are a self-mockery.

American writer Sarah Kendzior (St. Louis, Missouri: https://sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/stop-collaborator-and-listen ) has been writing of the transnational financialist mafiosi connections of that man for over a decade, and the manner in which The Machine has just looked the other way out of convenience. From her latest: "... the uniparty is a one-hit wonder that plays the same track for decades. One set of donors, two sides of a counterfeit coin, and interlocking roles as GOP abuser and Dem enabler. When policies beneficial to the American people are on the verge of being passed, a “rotating villain” appears to annihilate public hope."

I am at a point where I'm relating to a portrayal of a jaded Chicago Irish cop, who looks at his clean-shaven, college educated counterpart, pulls a Winchester Model 12 out of the cabinet to lead the squad on a liquor raid; and, says "You walk through this door now, you're walking into a world of trouble, and there's no turnin' back. Do you understand?", and racks a live round of OO into the chamber.

These goons are stealing everything, right down to hope AND reasonable expectations of decency. There ain't a Boy Scout among 'em. And they're not going to relent until we all starve them of our resources.

I really appreciate your analysis and reporting from afar. Thanks.

On June 14, our intelligence brief 'The Presidential Settlement' audited the unprecedented tax-immunity deal masquerading as a lawsuit.

​Nine days later, 23 State Attorneys General filed court documents echoing our exact structural breakdown of the collusion, while the DOJ quietly retained the permanent tax audit immunity. Don't wait for the mainstream lag room. Get the data today.

"MIAMI (CN) — Twenty-three Democratic state attorneys general asked a federal judge Tuesday to probe 'egregious misconduct' by President Donald Trump over his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS... 'The parties' conduct makes clear that they manufactured a lawsuit for the sole purpose of executing a collusive settlement to benefit the Trump family and enrich President Donald Trump's political allies...'"

The President sued his own Justice Department, bypassed a federal judge, and walked away with permanent IRS immunity for his entire family. Why? To protect the biggest insider trading scheme in political history. Read the full breakdown of how 37 fake geopolitical announcements fueled a $3.9 billion profit engine. https://triggledger.substack.com/p/the-presidential-settlement-the-license?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=8gc1qf

In 2021, Donald Trump went on national television and called Bitcoin a 'scam.' Today, cryptocurrency is the financial bedrock of his family's empire. The technology didn't change—but the realization of how to leverage the Oval Office did. Here is the exact math on how Don Jr. engineered an $18 billion private wealth transfer.https://triggledger.substack.com/p/the-cryptocratic-kleptocracy-how?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=8gc1qf

"this is the norm ignored, a convergence of contempt for democracy and direct deposits to Trump’s bank accounts."

Trump is going to continue ripping everyone off for as long as he lives. GOP facilitates and enables him because many of them have their noses in the trough. I don't see how any of this is going to change, but it will somehow.
