Comment on the last link about Catholic Joe

What a slime. There’s a special place in hell for cretins like him.

“With absolute courage and conviction, Cecile Richards fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom,” Biden said of the radical abortion activist.

How courageous of the demented old man to hold the ceremony in secret to bestow a medal and honor from we the people. What? They aren’t proud? Cowards. I guess the only positive is that they must know on some level how wrong they are if they have to sneak and hide. Good riddance. A stain upon our country. They can hide from the people, but they can’t hide from the eyes of God.

"The incoming Treasury Secretary will have the difficult challenge of uniting Trump’s agenda of disruption and change in the (world) economy, and tax cuts, with stability in financial markets."

And above all, holding harmless the small group of people at the top.

How about those Baltic Sea cable cuts? Even mainstream sources are calling it Russian retaliation. If it's tit-for-tat for Nordstream, then why now?

Who's buying up the US Treasuries that the BRICS nations are selling?

At the 2024 Bitcoin conference, Howard Lutnick said "Tether had a liquidity issue we solved with U.S. Treasuries. USDT or Tether will allow U.S. Treasury funding to be directly traded via USDT by individuals all across the world using Tether as a payment system."

Lutnick is reportedly Musk's favored pick for Treasury. He's a big promoter of Tether. Tether and its partner company Bitfinex look almost as scammy as FTX, but much bigger. Here's an easy video that documents the shady Madoff-style history of these companies and their principals: https://youtu.be/-whuXHSL1Pg

Caymans and UK is what I've seen.

Lutnick was named to Commerce.

Obviously Caymans itself isn't doing the buying.
