"Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here."

I know,you're thinking this is about our corrupt US government or Federal Reserve...., but its really about the collape of FTX, a story worth watching. Of course nobody will go to jail, its all backed and protected by........(wait for it) our corrupt US government

----------------
Because how else would one describe it when FTX's new CEO and liquidator, John Ray III, who also oversaw the unwinding and liquidation of Enron, admits that "Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here."

And just in case his shock at FTX's fraud of epic proportions was not clear enough, he adds that "from compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented."

According to Ray, he has located “only a fraction” of the digital assets of the FTX Group that they hope recover during the Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They’ve so far secured about $740 million of cryptocurrency in offline cold wallets, a storage method designed to prevent hacks. This is just a fraction of the $10-$50 billion in liabilities the company disclosed in its bankruptcy filing.

Wray Refuses To Say If FBI Had Sources 'Dressed As Trump Supporters' On January 6

Wray Refuses To Say If FBI Had Sources 'Dressed As Trump Supporters' On January 6 | ZeroHedge

"Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the Jan. 6 protesters on Jan. 6 of 2021?" Rep. Clay Higgins asked Wray on Tuesday.

"As I’m sure you can appreciate, I have to be very careful about what I can say, about when we do and do not, and where we have and have not used confidential human sources," Wray replied, adding "But to the extent there’s a suggestion, for example, that the FBI’s confidential human sources or FBI employees in someway instigated or orchestrated Jan 6th, that’s categorically false."

Higgins then asked, "Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January 6th prior to the doors being opened?"

To which Wray pushed back, "Again, I have to be very careful about what I can say."

"It should be a no!" Higgins interjected. "Can you not tell the American people: ‘no, we did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump sources positioned inside the Capitol on January the 6th?"

To which Wray replied: "You should not read anything into my decision not to share information about confidential human sources."



Higgins’s time to question Wray and other Biden administration officials then expired. He did not get to ask more questions later, and no other members pursued the line of questioning further.”

That tells you everything you need to know about our government and whose interests they represent.
as sure as donkey poop they did

I just listened to the latest podcast of Tulsi Gabbard with Chloe Cole a young woman who horribly regrets 'transitioning' at 13 years old. Man that was heartbreaking, almost had me in tears. I think she was on Tucker Carlson too but I haven't watched that yet. There are some sick bastards out there pushing this including the medical industry. Are they in it for the money? Regardless, they need to be exposed and sued which is what this woman plans to do. It sounds like the parents were encouraged to go along with it by being told she would become suicidal if she didn't transition. This whole "gender-affirming care" movement is beyond belief for me.

When you think back over the years every major Congressional Investigation has been nothing more that a hot air circus that produces little to no results at all. All they ever really do is grandstand, get sound bytes and waste a lot of time and money in the process as they parade their "righteousness". Ollie North comes to mind as an exception and he was man enough to take the rap. Same with General Flynn. The rest have all been soft balls and air balls at best.

They've got more important things to do, like collect money from their political donors and foreign connections, and of course book deals.

Of course our elections are secure and free of fraud and manipulation, especially in Philadelphia, birthplace of the Declaration and Constitution -

...and the governor of California has made the state a sanctuary for these types of surgeries. :mad:

Wow that lady won her case I guess. I remember the lady trying to get out of a ticket. You know, give it to them, motorcycles can ride in the HOV lanes. If this will make people realize that there is a PERSON inside the pregnant WOMAN, then so be it. Sad it has to come to this, but we have a very Ignorant society...
