Overlapping Social Circle: Lutnick testified he "barely had anything to do" with Epstein, saying he had a few meetings and exchanged about 10 emails. In fact Lutnick was Epstein's NY neighbor for 20 years where he lived in a townhouse, in his words "six to eight steps" from Epstein.

1/5 Hitler to Trump: What can we learn?
Maybe it's too soon to compare what we're seeing today to Naziism and accountability. I witnessed eyes roll many months ago when I first mentioned Trump and Hitler in the same sentence. I drew similarities between their charisma and leadership styles. ⤵️

Who is profiting from the sale of $1 billion of stolen oil? Two independent oil traders, Vitol & Trafigura, were granted licenses to market and sell the oil. John Addison of Vitol donated $6 million to Trump. His company and Trafigura will profit millions from handling the transactions. Pay-to-Play.
Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."

Jesse Jackson was an icon, a fervent civil rights and human rights activist who defended humanity. His legacy lives on through every human interaction and life whose dignity he fought for.
“The White, the Hispanic, the Black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the Native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay and the disabled make up the American quilt” Jesse Jackson.

When in 2019 Trump declared "I took over the United States" to the PM of Pakistan he was just getting started. He has full-throttled his intent to make America more racist, less safe, isolated, divided, authoritarian and corrupt. Of all modern presidents, he has done the most damage.

Two major banks-JP Morgan Chase & Deutsche Bank-provided the Financial Architecture for Epstein's Sex Trafficking for decades. JPMC processed over $1.1 billion in transactions until he transferred his accounts to Deutsche Bank which processed over $400 million. Both banks KNEW the money was dirty.

"We are talking about [a] rapid reaction force of 100,000, or 80,000 capability, which should replace [the] American force."

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
