Well said. Thank you. That is a perfect way to put it. Moral but weak. That's it exactly.

The most informative 51 minutes of video I've seen in a long time. The Fed, Blackrock, the intelligence community, the military... it's all here. Very matter-of-fact. The consolidation of the financial coup d'etat.

Lee Smith’s “The Plot Against The President,” has an underreported passage that in January of 2016, before the Iowa Caucuses, while Manafort was still in rehab, CIA Analyst who shall not be named, Eric Ciaramella—of future “whistleblower” fame—asked a visiting delegation of Ukrainian law enforcement officials for incriminating information on Manafort from his time in Ukraine, linking him to Russia.

In other words, the Democrats were plotting to link the GOP Presidential campaign to Russia 3 months before the supposedly learned they’d been hacked by Russians and 4 months before Trump became the GOP nominee. It’s almost like they knew Russian and Ukrainian donations to the Clinton Foundation were a major weakness and that luckily one of only two living GOP consultants to have managed a brokered convention in a year the Republican nomination was expected to go down to the wire had done extensive work in Ukraine advocating a “get along with Europe AND Russia” policy. If that guy, as appears likely, winds up working for the winning GOP presidential campaign, then we can use him to tie the nominee, whoever that winds up being to Russia, to distract attention from all the bribes our candidates foundation has taken.

Here’s a related article on the topic Booth discuses of Ust/fed debt buyback.

A lot of the financial gamesmanship is a bit overwhelming, but interesting to follow in light of Luongo’s theory.

Something is scaring the Fed.

The question is what?

- The threat of hyper inflation?

- The US $ losing its reserve status? With the massive financial implications for the US?

- popping the financial bubbles / over leverage?

- Destroying the power of they great reset / Davis / WEF of a centralized digital currency that would neuter the Fed?

- Biden’s efforts with WEF Allie’s that are destroying the Western Economies?

- stopping out of control US Deficits?

Manafort was a typical DC hack. But he was a hack of the team red variety and so he was prosecuted for something like not being registered as an agent of a foreign country which he was representing in some fashion yet his boss, the other sleazeball Podesta brother was doing the exact same thing and suffered zero consequences.

But the DOJ's not politicized. Oh no.

While all this is true in an academic historical kinda sense, the problem is this: to make sure something like this is less likely to happen again you need to capture the American public's very limited attention span. These prosecutions of witnesses rather than co-conspirators are not doing that, while the SOL runs. Shielding of the "highest levels of our various power structures" continues apace. No doubt fascinating books about this will be written years from now.

I doubt that the conspiracy case would be any weaker than these few cases he has brought. At a guess I'd say out of a misguided notion of wanting to steer clear of "prosecuting politics" and wishing to preserve the standing of DoJ/FBI as institutions. Barr's goofy notion that by providing an example of non-partisanship liberals would somehow undergo a conversion and fall into line with that example.

I agree, and it is so depressing. Once again, good guys lose by being good. I think instead of turning a cheek, we ought to slap one.

It's not "good guys being good". It's good cop / bad cop. The actors playing "moral but weak" are entirely complicit with those playing "strong and amoral". Two sides of the same con.
