Real life is better than the movies. No doubt. Today’s surprise comes out of Moscow, with an announcement from the State organization charged with investigating major crimes that the Ukrainian company Burisma was involved with financing terrorists:
Russia’s top investigative body announced Tuesday that it has launched a criminal probe into senior officials in the United States and NATO member countries who are suspected of “financing terrorism.”
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said it has “established” that money from commercial organizations had been used to “eliminate prominent political and public figures” inside and outside Russia in recent years, as well as to “inflict economic damage” against the country. . . .
The top law enforcement body named the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings as one of the implicated organizations. U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden served as a member of Burisma’s board of directors between 2014 and 2019.
So, what’s the big deal. We already knew about Hunter. What does that have to do with the CIA? Does the name Cofer Black ring a bell?
International Energy Group Burisma has expanded its Board of Directors to include an expert in the field of security and strategic development. Joseph Cofer Black, a former Director of the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center and Ambassador at Large for counter-terrorism recently joined the Board as an independent director at Burisma Group. Ambassador Black resigned from public service in 2005 after a 30 year career and is considered a leading expert and significant figure on U.S. and international security issues.
How about that. A career CIA officer, with no experience in the oil and gas industry beyond pumping gas for his own vehicles, gets a sweet spot on a board alongside Hunter Biden. Before joining the board of Burisma, Mr. Black snagged a spot on the board of a Latvian Bank:
The extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of joint-stock company Baltic International Bank (‘the Bank’) was held on 11 October 2016 where decisions on changes in the composition of the Bank’s Supervisory Board were adopted.
Joseph Cofer Black has been invited to join the existing members of the Bank’s Supervisory Board– Valērijs Belokoņs, Vlada Belokoņa, Andris Ozoliņš and Dr. Hans – Friedrich Von Ploetz – as of November 1, 2016.
Cofer Black’s ostensible qualification for serving on the Bank’s board was his background in counter terrorism. In an interview with DELFI, a business magazine, Cofer claimed expertise in terrorist financing:
What does counterterrorism have in common with banking? How much time do you have? Actually [they are] shockingly similar. I spent the last 12 years of my time [at the CIA] in counterterrorism, but before that I worked in other fields [of intelligence]. An important thing in counterterrorism is what we now call financial counterterrorism. At the beginning of my career, there was little if any combating of terrorism in the financial area. It was my responsibility, but I wasn’t very eager to get into it, because it’s timeconsuming, labor-intensive and expensive. In that time you are trying to outsmart and stop terrorists before they kill people.
Turns out, Cofer was of no help to the Latvian bank on this issue. In 2018 the bank was fined:
Latvia’s financial regulator, the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FKTK) said December 6 it was imposing a 1.5 million euro fine on Baltic International Bank (BIB) “for deficiencies in the Bank’s internal control system.”. . .
“In 2018 the FKTK carried out an on-site inspection of the Bank, as well as a targeted inspection, during which the FCMC identified that the Bank’s internal control system does not fully comply to the regulatory requirements governing the prevention of money laundering and terrorism and proliferation financing (hereinafter – AML/CTPF),” the FKTK said.
“The Bank had not established an adequate internal control system to meet its risks in the field of prevention of money laundering and terrorism and proliferation financing, which would ensure effective compliance with the regulatory requirements,” it added, explaning that “in several cases” the bank had not taken sufficient measures to make certain that a beneficial owner indicated was the beneficial owner; had not obtained documentation and had not taken necessary measures to make certain of the origin of financial means in its customer accounts and had not documented conclusions; had not ensured appropriate and high-quality enhanced customer due diligence; had not duly decided on termination of business relationships with customers and, in a particularly damning comment “had not paid sufficient and special attention to untypical large, complex, inter-related transactions with no apparent economic purpose or clear legal purpose.”
Going back to the charges leveled by Russia’s Investigative Committee, if Cofer Black was on the Burisma Board during the time that Burisma funds were being transferred to groups with ties to terrorists, then it is quite understandable that Russia will be inclined to believe the CIA is implicated, at least indirectly, in terrorist attacks in Russia. Too bad that Latvian bank did not hire me and my partner instead of Cofer. We actually wrote and implemented compliance programs for banks and investment firms that kept them out of this kind of trouble. I can’t wait to see the evidence.
A couple of interesting and unusual interviews today. The first was with Marcos Soares, a Brazilian who lives and works in Italy. The second was with Sarah at DD Geopolitics. We discussed CIA links to terrorist organizations.
It is really sad when the entire government are criminals. It is impossible to have any respect for anyone working in government any more…
I totally agree!
All trust has been lost.
Off topic, but this is all akin to the Covid lies.
My medical provider in Los Angeles is UCLA and since I refused the jab in 2021 (I am a retired R.N. and knew better), they have been after me to come in for needless visits (I am on no pharmaceuticals and enjoy good health). Now they are after me to come to my home to check me out! Not happening!
All trust has been lost since they will not come clean on their negligence regarding Covid, the mandated jabs and their ill-conceived refusal to allow UCLA physicians to act autonomously by ordering early treatment protocols for Covid with Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin D3, C, antibiotics, and steroids.
Finally, after the CDC and FDA were successfully triumphed over with a major lawsuit by courageous physicians, they have been forced to correct their lying websites saying that Ivermectin is NOT a drug of choice for Covid.
All trust has been lost with these corporate stooges (like UCLA). And likewise, all trust has been lost in our federal government and the MSM when all they do is propagandize, lie and try to impose censorship on our country.
The United States has tried the same social media censorship that Brazil is now going hard on.
Time for a hard-core wake-up folks, in ALL areas of our society.
All they do is lie.
We are in transition from a high trust to a low trust society…
Marked by cognitive dissonance in the general population, it will continue until a large minority of people, creating a tipping point, recognize that the high trust once placed in government, NGOs, and the professions is now not only unwarranted, but even dangerous.
Things are getting interesting… unfortunately.
Here is a plain fact. We are still living under Feudalism. No, feudalism did not disappear with the so called
American Revolution. Indeed, it only grew stronger with a new suit of clothes.
I do respect Rand Paul, senator from Kentucky.
So do I.
Congressman Jim Jordon from Ohio seems to be a good man as well.
Yes indeed!
Good guy.
How is it possible to continue being a patriot with such vile
trash motivated only by money and elected and appointed by idiots and people with no morals but instead the religion
of Satanism? God help us!
Sorry, these criminals in gov’t are almost all self-identified followers of Christianity or Judaism. So if he exists, God already knows about these perps.
Satanism is a convenient catch-all, like atheism, to blame other or non-believers.
The vipers are in the House of God… look around.
Here is a interesting quote from one of our forefathers, that has been pretty much covered up over the years….
— BENJAMIN FRANKLIN – Founding Father of U.S. – 1789
“Their ideas [The Jews] are not those of Americans. The leopard cannot changes his spots. The Jews are a danger to this land, and if they are allowed to enter, they will imperil its institutions. They should be excluded by this Constitution.”
“I warn you, gentleman, if you do not exclude Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves…
In less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great number that they will dominate and devour the land…”
“There is a great danger for the United State of America. This great danger is the Jew. Gentlemen, in every land the Jews have settled, they have depressed the moral level and lowered the degree of commercial honesty. They have remained apart and unassimilated; oppressed, they attempt to strangle the nation financially, as in the case of Portugal and Spain.”
“For more than seventeen hundred years they have lamented their sorrowful fate — namely, that they have been driven out of their mother land; but, gentlemen, if the civilized world today should give them back Palestine and their property, they would immediately find pressing reason for not returning there. Why? Because they are vampires and vampires cannot live on other vampires –they cannot live among themselves. They must live among Christians and others who do not belong to their race.”
Pretty hard to argue that he was not right…..
ALWAYS, ALWAYS… Check your references. An honest mistake or an attempt to mislead and trap? Readers can decide for themselves.
A Fatah group and (possibly?) Bin laden used it in the late-1990’s and 2002 respectively. So besides its “Nazi” connection (below) it’s a known “bait” tactic…
“The Franklin Prophecy, sometimes called the Franklin Forgery, is an antisemitic speech falsely attributed to Benjamin Franklin, warning of the supposed dangers of admitting Jews to the nascent United States. The speech was purportedly transcribed by Charles Cotesworth Pinckney during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, but was unknown before its appearance in 1934 in the pages of William Dudley Pelley’s Silver Legion pro-Nazi magazine Liberation. No evidence exists for the document’s authenticity, and some of Pelley’s claims have actively been disproven.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Prophecy

https://www.conservapedia.com/The_Franklin_Prophecy
HOWEVER… funny the things that turn up when you look around. Apparently Franklin was no stranger to mis-dis-info and a bigot when it came to the American Natives. The repercussions of this sort of thinking may still be evident in the treatment of Natives today. Apparently the Founding Fathers were not as moral and ethical as modern day Constitutional Constructionists may wish.
“Franklin’s masterpiece of disinformation and covert influence came late in the Revolution, when he forged a newspaper supplement whose contents effectively but falsely alleged that Native Americans, at the British army’s behest, committed atrocities against American rebels. The 1782 forgery represented itself as “A Supplement to The Boston Independent Chronicle.”
Franklin’s fake, measuring 14 5/16 inches by 9 1/8 inches, was a broadsheet in size and design. Posing as an addendum to a legitimate edition of an actual and widely read newspaper, the bogus two-pager incorporated phony(sic) real estate advertisements and a notice of a “stolen or stray Bay Horse.” These quotidian items, staples of the form, lent credibility to the main content.”

Regardless, the clustering of distinct characteristics within the marketing demographic of those called Ashkenazi has become clear as day. Those quite strong tendencies are as follows:
–ardent and sometimes militant atheists
–extremely “pro-vaccine” for whatever reason, almost as if they love the word or populate the field; thus the fact that the mRNA was novel didn’t matter once it was labeled a “vaccine.”
–a strong disposition to resort to censorship and linguistic manipulation such as the changing of definitions
–a predisposition towards collectivism, whereby they agitate to make all around them hyper “aware” of such differences, while they themselves seek to “blend in” with said groups in order to influence them from within
–a strong tendency to support the actions of the state of Israel without question
–a (long time, since around at least 1995) strong apparently race based hatred of Russians for being Russian
–a related strong tendency to support the actions of Ukraine without question, and to selectively ignore otherwise uncomfortable historical facts associated with historic German National Socialism.
–a strong tendency to endorse “gender affirming surgeries” for minors with no data to go by beyond pop psychology and propagandistic dogmas
–a strong tendency or drive to speak for and associate themselves with all manner of identifiable groups based upon sex or gender, ranging from “feminism” to the “transexual movement” and “minor attracted individuals, along with all between, whilst condemning “traditional norms” as “oppression” and instigating social disruption.
–A deep involvement in instruments of global power such as the WHO and WEF, where they associate and seek, apparently, to rule with the descendants of both actual Nazi’s and ancient royalty.
–A massive “over-representation” in the following fields, which is ironic because of their strong backing of DIE programs that happen to never impact upon them on account of their particular self-declared status, including but not limited to:
—teachers unions
—University professors
—Finance and banking, from where they have embraced “debanking”
—the “Censorship Industrial Complex”
—Mainstream mass media of all kinds, along with the entertainment industry
—Book publishing of all kinds
etc. In other words, they are prone towards positions of gatekeepers extroudinar.
And now, as our youth proudly march about proclaiming men can have babies and defunding the police will be good for society, along with countless other absurdities, we see the effects clear as day.
Oh, and as of late they have grown to really LOVE tossing about the word “subhuman.” Never heard it beyond the Nazi Pack before, now I hear it applied to Palestinians and Russians by formal state actors and to both blacks and Moslems by Ashkenazi agitators striving to stir the pot. That’s honestly the way it looks.
My conclusion? It appears to me highly likely that this subgroup of atheist Ashkenazi’s are the one’s responsible in history for giving those called “Jews” such a bad name. That’s honestly the way it looks…and I wish it wasn’t so.
And yes, there are exceptions. There are always exceptions.
Very excellent summation from an outstanding intellect from whom we can learn much.
Thanks you.
You’re entitled to your opinions no matter how wrong they are.
“Ashkenazi, member of the Jews who lived in the Rhineland valley and in neighbouring France before their migration eastward to Slavic lands…
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ashkenazi
I’m not going to engage in splitting hairs of “what kind of Jew”… a fool’s errand, let alone what such a barely definable, wide and disparate group as “Ashkenazis” might think or do.
Not taking the bait.
That said, you’re right about the Franklin thing. I’ve never been able to find evidence to back it up either.
I don’t know anything about “American fathers” and their moral or immoral attitudes but this quote makes a lot of sense: “Apparently Franklin was no stranger to mis-dis-info and a bigot when it came to the American Natives. The repercussions of this sort of thinking may still be evident in the treatment of Natives today. Apparently the Founding Fathers were not as moral and ethical as modern day Constitutional Constructionists may wish.”
You start by hating your neighbor, friend, family, nation – then it snowballs to other nations that are ALWAYS at fault, NEVER you. Then you go and shoot your classmates and neighbors – it happens every Tuesday and Friday in America, doesn’t it?
And if it happens on the scale of a nation – like the US today – you hate EVERYBODY around the world and are killing everybody around you to “install democracy” and your own rules – and, no wonder, everybody else hates you! So it proves to you that you were right to hate them in the first place, right? And THAT is WHY EVERYBODY around the world hates America and Americans…
And nobody sins “All you need is love” anymore… Hate permeates this world…
Well done AP. Facts, not emotion.
Your argument is bullshit. Saying something is false requires proof of the allegation to which you have not proven. When you use sources such as Wikipedia to substantiate your claims is is absolute proof you are lying because we all know what the source of Wikipedia is and who runs it. There are countless quotes throughout history since the time of Rome lambasting the Jews for their criminality and acts of inhumanity towards anyone not Jewish. What is happening in Gaza today is nothing new. The teachings of the Talmud encourage uncivilized behavior and acts against the Gentile and Goy up to and including rape of small children and murder. Here is 100 more historical quotes, lets see you disprove them. https://boards.christogenea.org/forum/main-category/main-forum/jewish-treachery/72653-100-quotes-exposing-the-evil-of-the-jews
Yah Ben had an agenda, from my research too. $$$$
Larry was correct. The worst people are in all ethnic groups. Some Jews
are Heaven sent and could not be better. Some non believers are the Pitts. What kind of non believer are you?
Jews are not an ethnic group, that is one of the lies that perpetuates confusion. Jews come from several ethnic groups, from blue eyed blond haired Jews to Black, Hispanic, and Asian Jews.
Jews are a religious cult, not a ethnic or racial group. This is something that needs to be understood. Just because your parents, or grandparents called themselves Jews, that does not make you a Jew, unless you believe in that you are the Chosen People and you believe in the warped and perverted teachings of the Talmud, you are not a Jew.
WOW! What a VILE antisemitisms from the “founding fathers”! No wonder this country has raised its devil horns above all measure of decency. From vile only violence and more of it can be born 🙁
You set one nation against another and you have all those “isms”, especially nationalism, fascism, extremism and satanism get easily generated.
That is EXACTLY what they want you to do:
“DIVIDE AND CONQUER” – So much easier when your hearts are already full of poison and hatred… Shame. Look in the mirror and TRY to find YOUR OWN humanity there!
As Any Person correctly pointed out, this is a fabrication falsely attributed to Benjamin Franklin.
Even though you shouldn’t have to point out such rubbish as being from Ben Franklin. It’s a good idea to do so immediately.
As a side note. Thank you Larry for all your hard in the past at The Agency, & for your continued work in keeping this nation informed & educated on current & past historical record.
One might say you truly are carrying the Torch of Freedom and Liberty that had been passed on to you genetically by ancestry.
As they say, we are only 1 generation away from losing what it took ~250yrs to build in this great nation.
Ok, I’m done sounding like I am buttering you up. Yet it is true that the written word was important to our nations founding, & still just as important today on Sonar21.
Regards,
I appreciate your kindness and generous comments.
On the other hand, and I say this as a non believer, by far the majority of the people who are standing up against these ghouls and putting themselves in harms way, be it on the covid scam, gender nonsense or any other scheme, are religious.
True.
Absolutely! Other or non believers are equally Satanic. Some are the worst. Just whom are you defending? Yourself?
No, just exposing your religious bigotry and lack of intellect.
Thanks, that was easy.
You REALLY don’t want to go down this road with me here. Many have tried, all have failed.
Oh, so that is your joie de vivre.
Saw that defect before. Not hard to see. Speaking of lack of intellect, must you turn all commentary every time into a personal vendetta? You can take
your damned road and shove it up your ass. Are you asking to be banned? I sure hope you will
be soon because you are a very
destructive person and show that you are not able to coexist
with anyone.
Well if you didn’t display your bigotry, I’d have nothing to say now would I?
Again, since you’re new it appears, and for any new readers…
I have no issue with people’s personal beliefs.
If you think the Christian God exists, good for you… act as the 10 Commandments and Beatitudes require. The line for me is when the rest of the ahistorical, cultural overburden in the Abrahamic/Christian/Islamic Texts are forced on others, and other-believers and non-believers are attacked. Passages like the ICJ is currently deliberating on.
The problem starts when posters like you show up and present those beliefs as the Inviolate Word of God and somehow these are not subject to examination and open critique, let alone be claimed as the only moral basis for gov’t policies.
Your line of BS has been tried repeatedly and ended up with the perps either toning down the rhetoric and sticking to factual, referenced comments. Or leaving, defeated, and by at least one ban. The removed voting and installed registration system is largely due to their behaviour while attacking me, just like yours.
Look at the comment sections from just a few weeks ago, and word-search my name… Look at the posts of others who chose the same approach as you. Do you see them now, let alone still posting such garbage?
So if you insist on posting similar to what you have been, expect similar responses. Or you could stick to GEOPOLITICAL information and leave the religion at home.
And while we’re at it, ZIONISM is a POLITICAL, not religious Movement, cynically using the Jewish/Christian claims to the Holy Land to further the geopolitical aims of the Rothschild Class. The fact self-professed Jews and Christian Zionists (Biden is the predominant example) want to claim some moral high-ground is actually irrelevant. Oligarchs and their political/military toadies have been trading on whatever religion happened to be around for millennia, even long before the Romans and Europeans thought Christianity was a good idea.
So pack up your soapbox and go looking for easier places to peddle your bigotry. I hear there is room at Unz or Moon of Alabama, a couple blogs where the focus is more religion-forward.
I have attacked you? You are psychotic and paranoid! Only you know what filth you are hiding and defending and being guilty of. Now I can only guess
it’s significance to you and your fear of being exposed.
As for M of A, he has honestly expressed his lack of religion.
That’s how little you know. You
need to drop the accusations
and come out in all honesty and
show what you really are. Then you might have a case. Just what are you hiding that you accuse everyone else of bigotry.
Why is that so important to you
that YOU cannot discuss
Geopolitics or Politics? No. You have to attack first. You assume that a conservative person will
disapprove of you. Oh my. How you have suffered defending yourself.
Ad hominem, the last refuge of the intellectually bereft.
OF COURSE you feel perfectly justified in responding to me as you do. God’s on your side, right? And you are obviously used to getting your way when you do it. Standard troll behaviour.
And which God would that be, the same one the Jews and Muslims believe in, but none of you can agree on much about him? If you’re going to climb on your soapbox, expect some jeers from the peanut gallery.
I “assumed” nothing about you, only responded to what is in your posts. And so far, you have contributed near zero information here. A few “attaboys” to people you think will support you and getting aggressive the second someone takes you to task over what you said.
And you said:
“Absolutely! Other or non believers are equally Satanic. Some are the worst. Just whom are you defending? Yourself?”
If that’s not an attack on others and myself, WHAT IS?
And bernard may keep his personal beliefs to himself, but he doesn’t moderate out a lot of berating and name-calling of religious, ethnic groups, or posters doing it to other posters. And posters there are tired of the same crap you pull here. I stopped posting/reading there years ago due to that toxic environment. And the info he provides is more widely available elsewhere now.
“This is what is currently happening here lately unfortunately. So many threads taken up with name-calling and disrespecting those that don’t agree with your discourse. There are the usual suspects that demean folks just because, the back and forth bs is a constant these days.”
The comments were getting quite rational and informative here after the registration was put in place, but it seems some newbies didn’t get the memo about why it happened. Maybe Larry should send out a set of expectations in the confirmation email, so all new posters understand their responsibility to behave reasonably.
But now you’ve been told.
Dear Larry: Is this what you want in your commentary? Do you really want a nut job to drive many people away? Please you and admin fix this. Why should your articles descend into a commentary nightmare. This AP
Ass is a nightmare in himself. A real sicko. I beg you for some improvement here. Thanks for your consideration. Bye for now.
While I strongly disagree with Any Person’s views on religion, I think his comments are generally written without engaging in ad hominem attacks or cursing. If you don’t like what he or she is writing then ignore it. Or, better yet, argue your side of the matter. The new requirement for people who want to comment to register a real email has dramatically reduced the bots and crap I was dealing with on a daily basis.
I agree on Moon. Stopped reading the comments years ago as a waste of time. His commentary yes (typical read is 3 min, if not a piece about how the NYT is 90% lies, and 10% accidental reality – Already know that).
“Well if you didn’t display your bigotry, I’d have nothing to say now would I?”
LOL!
It’s the ol’ “You MADE me do it!” routine…
…followed by a long lecture where you call your target a “bigot,” or a “racist,” or both, at least once.
It’s annoying A.P. and it lowers the quality of Larry’s comment section. So do us a BIG favor and stop doing it.
Thank you, Martin
You’re welcome.
He has been giving me some grief too.
The problem with AP is, like brussell and ariadna before him, he thinks he owns this site because lives here and posts all day long; in his mind this site has become a “My house my rules” situation – that he gets to call the shots.
Sooner or later Larry will set him straight.
I just noticed this one.
“Well if you didn’t display your bigotry, I’d have nothing to say now would I?
Again, since you’re new it appears, and for any new readers…
I have no issue with people’s personal beliefs.”
That is pretty hilarious.
“And while we’re at it, ZIONISM is a POLITICAL, not religious Movement,”
Wrong, Zionism is a political movement based on a religious movement, which justifies the criminal and immoral acts according to religious writings.
It is too bad Larry removed the Likes/Dislikes because instead of bickering back and forth your last comment would have received a TON of likes and “Any Person” – aka ARROGANTLY identifying and associating himself with “any” he would have been probably banned. And Larry, as the author and moderator, do you REALLY want to reduce the level of your appeal to “any persons” to this low level? Why do you not remove people like this? Isn’t THIS EXACTLY what the rest “antisocial” media is doing – instilling hate?
I believe in free speech. Even if I don’t like it. I draw the line at “collective” denigration of ethnic groups. Chief example is condemning all Jews for what is happening in Gaza. As I have written before, Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate are Jewish and demonstrating incredible courage and integrity in their reporting.
Dear Larry, thank you so much
for taking your precious time and responding. I certainly was not referring to any non believers when I used the word ”Satanic”. I think everybody knows what kind of behavior
that word refers to. Also I am not antisemitic in the least. I have known wonderful Jews
beginning with the Canadian/
Hungarian psychiatrist Holocaust survivor Gabor Mate
as well as people like my college professor Rudolf Arnheim, the author of “Art and
Visual Perception”.
I will try to take your advice and ignore further attacks.
I am not going to engage on your internal dialogue. You posted:
“Absolutely! Other or non believers are equally Satanic. Some are the worst. Just whom are you defending? Yourself? ”
Rhetorically, I merely put this forward for your own contemplation:
You offer no definition of what “other… believers” is in your frame. Subsequently, you apparently deem Jews as “believers” as followers of an Abrahamic religion, and Christianity qualifies as same, then how about Muslims? Islam is also based on the Abrahamic Texts.
Words matter, they are tools which can be as precise as a scalpel or as blunt as a sledgehammer.
———–
As you wished, Larry has weighed in. But to set the record straight, Larry didn’t rein me in or impose any sanction, publicly or privately. We respect each other’s right to hold the views we do and vigorously defend them with facts and logic.
If he thought I had been “attacking” you, he’d have had words for me as well. He didn’t.
I absolutely CONFRONT the CONTENTS of others’ posts and posters’ BEHAVIOURS, I OBSERVE and confront the posters’ stated and implied POSITION but I don’t attack the POSTER. I believe my strongest epithet was “asshole”, but even that is more a behavioural observation than flat-out ad hominem.
Confronting your religious beliefs is NOT a personal attack.
To ensure you are not labouring under any illusions, his references to attacks were aimed at you and your fellow travellers. An objective reading of his remarks would lead to that conclusion, but you insist on missing HIS point.
Hi Larry,
I’m sure you don’t mean it in this way, but I read the last sentence of your comment with the implication “… and all/most of the other Jews are bad” (or words to that effect). I know that’s not what you mean but it can be read that way.
Best wishes.
Again, Jews are not an ethnic group.
We have seen in just the past decade, that when the government & media censor & delete free speech, than we are truly lost among ridiculous propaganda they are willing to feed us.
As much as I dislike the foolish & grotesque comments at times, they are necessary to endure, so we can all have our opinions voiced.
Silencing anyone leads to Silencing everyone (that THEY don’t agree with).
I agree, it’s endemic corruption so doesn’t come to light as the investigator/enforcement arm is also compromised, nothing to see here. As you read from Larry’s article its now part of the system as laws are selectively applied; look at Wall St – a fine, no jail, just a plea bargain and business continues. I liked the line from “Blade Runner”, “if you’re not one of us you’re little people.”
Like with the pharmaceutical industry, being sued and losing billions of dollars is just baked in the cake, “cost of doing business”. They are never really hurt in their bottom lines.
Perhaps the website Wall Street on Parade which reports and documents financial crime might be of interest…

It reminds me of the surgeon who upon opening up the patient’s abdominal area to explore, is faced with a cavity filled with cancerous tissue. He closes and stitches, then informs the patient that nothing can be done and he has only a few months to live.
If I understand correctly, wherever there is thymos to contend with, a serious climbdown is better incentivized when the advantages pertaining to the amnesty in prospect are more salient to the alleged wrongdoer than the recriminations supposed pursuant to non-compliance thereof
This is exactly what a lot of us believe is wrong with our country. There may be something we citizens can do to get our nation back on the rails, but it’s going to take some work. https://folkpotpourri.com/an-oath-and-the-flight-of-a-beautiful-bird/
It’s great that the criminal elements that permeate gov’ts and the corporate/banking/finance world are being revealed, but we’re still not seeing the entire picture.
Football/soccer provides a reasonable analogy.
Larry’s article is like looking at a team in a national-level championship that also competes in an international championship. We get to watch the game on the field, see the game scores, team players/stats/trades, board/management and possibly the local financiers, but that tells us little to nothing about the international championship board/management or the who’s who behind the banks, consortiums and hedge-funds that power the Big Show. They all play the game on the field by essentially the same rules, but the money side is only somewhat interconnected and consistent, for example, via Media rights/contracts. All national leagues and teams also have their own sponsors, deal with banks and have owners who have financiers behind them. The biggest name players have their own sponsorship deals and management/financial team.
So even though the Bribe’ems et.al. are involved at both the national and international level, they are not the ones who set the rules of the game on the field, nor sit on the boards of the top-level financial group. i.e. They don’t sit on the board or own a significant share Blackrock.
The crux of this is that the players, team ownership/management, financial arrangements change constantly, but the top level (i.e. FIFA) changes little for long periods. Similarly, elections, gov’t bureaucratic musical-chairs, corporate mergers etc. and the gov’t-corporate revolving door shuffle the deck we get to see constantly.
To play in the Big League, the teams and national championships have to play by the rules FIFA sets, and the local financial/sponsorship side has its own set of rules, some set by FIFA and others by national sanctioning bodies.
The problem with attempting to factually look above the level Larry’s article exposes, is that the Rothschild Class don’t want the masses to know their “international championship management” exists, let alone reveal any details of what the “rules” at that level are. Gov’t edicts, Free trade agreements, international treaties, WHO machinations, Central Bank gyrations, Davos and the WEF, give glimpses, but putting the entire edifice together can only be done by noticing and collating the parts of the Elephant-in-the-room they can’t conceal or distract attention from.
The wars the Rothschild Class deliberately causes provide distraction and insight, but the public doesn’t see the insights, as it is fed Weapons of Mass Distraction (WMDs) 24/7.
Larry’s article gives us another part of that Elephant.
To solve any problem, it must first be identified and recognized to exist. That is the basic theory of root cause analysis. The manipulation of the factors that control geopolitics, economics, information, and trade, are obviously dictated by power brokers beyond the political control of the masses. I do not think any rational person denies that. If voting mattered, they would not allow us to do it.
What is hidden even deeper than the people behind the preverbal curtain, is the philosophies and culture that drives them. While I, like yourself, do not subscribe to religion, I do recognize it exists in various forms, and is the motivation behind the majority of human action.
Humans are a flawed species, who have the intelligence to create technology, propaganda, war, usury, and even the means to our own extinction, but our actions are dictated by illogical emotion, psychopathy, and the ability to use irrationality such as religion to justify evil actions to ourselves. As Larry says, we believe our own bullshit, and that is a dangerous thing.
The fate of the world is not being dictated by people making irrational decisions based on “religious faith”. In the case of Ukraine it is the religious faith that we are “indispensable” ” superior” “more intelligent” and have advanced wonder weapons which can defeat Russia despite all the evidence to the contrary.
In Gaza, it is the religious belief that God gave Israel to the Jews, and that the end of the world will be a good thing.
Unless the rational people of the world can change the direction things are going, the irrational people are most likely going to cause a very bad ending.
So did Cofer really stay at said bank for 2 or 3 months?
He joined the Bank in November 2016. And in February of the netxt year (i.e. 3 months later) he joined Burisma.
Or did/does he serve on both boards. . .
Looks like both.
In that case he looks uniquely positioned, with all that experience, to answer some questions Russian investigators might have.
And the other piece, Larry, is the recent revelation that the CIA intervened to shut down investigation of Hunter’s sugar brother lawyer who funnelled him a few $million. That should add a few more red flags to your analysis.
My post just vanished
I give up — My posts keep vanishing although I have an account and am logged in.
Tsk.
Your comments are posting.
Odd. I saw them all disappear in front of my eyes, one after another.
If you can delete the redundant ones — you have my blessing.
I don’t know why, but some new “registrants” get put in the pending file. I try to approve them as soon as possible. One thing I’ve noticed is some people who “subscribe” assume they are registered. You are not. You also have to register to comment. Thanks for your patience.
Worth it to be here in the conversation. One of the best threads on-line.
Hello, Larry. I need to ask a question. Some users in Russia stopped commenting. Is it because the blog or wordpress doesn’t allow registration in Russia or are there still users in Russia commenting on Larry’s blog?
I’m not sure. Registration simply means you have to provide a real email.
Yes I know. I have been registered for a long time. But how I value the opinions of Russians and I stopped seeing them here. Thanks..
i would imagine Russian sources has been watching and documenting these people for years but were politically restrained from taking any action. But now the Concert murders have slipped loose the reins. In due time I suspect some people are going to rue the day they were ever born.
As an aside, a murder that has always troubled me, among many, is that of Abe by the usual lone assassin. I wonder if any of these funding sources underwrote that crime.
Wonder no more, seems no connection to any terrorists related in any way to the Crocus attack.
The gunman was deemed fit for trial, despite mental health issues where he blamed the Moonies for bilking his mother out of his sizeable inheritance. Not sure how he connected Abe to the Moonies, but that’s the story.

Yes, I recall, just to me it still doesn’t make sense.
The mind of the mentally disturbed by definition doesn’t make sense, but all indications are it was simply a case of an individual who believed he was aggrieved and misplaced his anger and actions. No apparent connection to any organized terrorist organization or plot.
Perhaps he blamed Abe for not shutting down the Moonies despite clear indications that group is not a benefit to any society it sets up camp in. But we will likely never know what was truly in his mind.
If you are positing the some spy agency psychologically manipulated the shooter to act, then you have a project to uncover those connections.
It would be odd if any US/ZATO agency did that, as Abe was “one of theirs”. Russia and China don’t engage in extra-judicial killings, so who benefits?
IMHO, the Latvian bank and the Burisma setup look to be DESIGNED from the get go for financing the insurgency and sabotage operations behind the Russian front lines as an integral part of Project Ukraine. So, that is why they had Cofer Black to advise them about how to do terrorist financing under the radar. This is the converse of the adage “Use a thief to catch a thief”: “Use a counter terrorism specialist to advise how best to organize terrorism”. Sadly, Larry, you do not qualify for that corner of the job market! You are a gentleman! Better look elsewhere to earn your bread and butter!
I think you are correct. They put their expertise (think Iran contra, funding drug cartels, creating ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc.) to good use in the bank showing them how to support money laundering. I think they call it “off the books” financing. As in cash to do what they want with no accountability. Ukraine, being about the most corrupt country on the planet, would naturally be an operating center for these guys.
Which makes me wonder: What is Russia doing with those 12 CIA bases located in Ukraine along the Russian border? Hope they are being targeted and soon.
Any word about these Larry?
Yup.
The plot thickens.

Well, why does anybody think that playing fair in a war would lead to victory?
But will playing unfair lead to victory?
Uncovering lies is a job that liars don’t support.
I still feel like living in 1944, where the outcome was clear, but not the date. Just wonder how the END will look like.
people who lie tend to impute mendacity to others with less discrimination, and will lie to themselves – in this case, about their capability. Neither tendency conduces to an ‘economy of enemies’
* practicing economy of enemies – having as few as possible
Feels like the 4th Turning. Then again, so did 911. I think we are all hoping we are in the final days of a rouge government, but I am afraid this shitshow could go on another decade or two. Me, I would prefer a fast and painful implosion as opposed to death by 1,000 paper cuts.
Big BOOOM! That’s how 🙁
I heard a great comment regarding narratives on The Duran yesterday. I believe it was Ray M. that said something like “those that lie first win”. Meaning, once the lie is out there and distributed at scale, people tend to believe that 1st lie – and those that produce the TRUTH (counter narrative in this case) are always chasing attention. ISIS-K, Wet Market, Unprovoked Invasion, Pandemic of the Unvaccinated etc… Sound familiar?
Reality, though, has a way of asserting itself that propaganda cannot paper over. Personally, I think lying tends to hasten the event (dollar collapse) as bad decisions are made on bad information.
Washington will say that this investigation is a fraud and a way for Russia to interfere in US elections. As usual. And who knows. The US never interferes in the elections of other countries, much less in Russia. Except for more than 100 well-documented regime change operations around the world since WWII and the CIA puppets like Nemtsov and Navalny, since the Munich Security Conference in 2007, when Putin announced that Russia was back as a major player on the global geostrategic board. The US’ biggest nightmare, after two decades of US/UK bleeding Russia into London and NY.
But in fact there is nothing new in this investigation that was not made explicit in the 2019 RAND report. That is, the way the US uses Rumsfeld’s new Europe to destabilize Russia since the end of USSR. And as a cordon sanitaire between Russia and NATO. Also announced 1 Million times, as in the Nord Stream sabotage. The CIA has been the world’s largest terrorist organization for more than 50 years. From the borders of China to Afghanistan in Central Asia, to Europe and the Middle East! Never forgetting the Monroe Doctrine’s backyard in South America.
It’s nothing more than embarrassing when UK/France talk about sending troops in. Big problems replacing weapons sent to Ukraine. Army/RAF position is they can’t becaise weapons ordered from US aren’t available yet – unofficially advanced weaponry has under performed in Ukraine. In addition loans for US weapons have all run over budget from US interest rate increases!?!
Everything that could go wrong – has went wrong and a lot they never considered
Larry at 31:50min – the Brits will screw you even when on the same side!
A US Ranger, recruited by MI6, convinced him that he was then CIA!
LOL!
It’s a rat line of lies…

Per Terram
About trust (in gov-ts). One of my friend suggested that maybe the goal of this “disinformation” campaign is that we don’t trust anything, so even when the truth is being told, we cannot trust it either. Have not thought about it. What would you think?
I’m sure that’s part of the evil plan. Not being able to trust our leaders is a scary place to be, and fear is their favorite weapon.
there was a fable about a boy who cried wolf (bear?)….. Well bears do eat little boys. There also is a story about a naked emperor (modern version – the matrix) – the profit margin on invisible clothes is amazing!
‘Not trusting your leaders’ is by far the best place to be.
“Don’t follow leaders, watch the parking meters
You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
Putting this in here, just to show it…
Even as so many people in the United States (and the UK and mainland Europe) are not just ignorant of what has been happening, but walking around with severe delusions about it all, this kind of thing keeps it going.
In the continuing parade of liars, psychos, and idiots, retired General Ben Hodges spews more fiction and nonsense, as part of the Ukrainian propaganda machine:

In short; “we must stand up to The Putin and defeat Russia, only we stand between The Putin and his conquest of the world!”.
Once again begging the question, about so many people these days… are they that dishonest, or genuinely that stupid? (I know, it can be, and probably often is, both.)
