Terror-finance rulings the Supremes must strike down, despite Biden's pleas
2022-06-14
[NYPOST] The Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
is set to decide if it will consider two important terror-financing cases centering on the ability of Americans who have been harmed in terrorist attacks to seek redress against financial institutions that knowingly funnel money to fronts for terrorist organizations such as Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,.

But the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
has urged the justices to let lower court rulings stand in Weiss v. National Westminster Bank and Strauss v. Credit Lyonnais — and so undercut 25 years of bipartisan consensus that Americans must be able to seek redress against those who knowingly facilitate terrorism.

Terrorism, its reach and its sources of funding constitute a central security issue of our times. Hamas, Hezbollah and other terror groups seek to alter the geopolitical calculus of target nations through intimidation, extortion and carnage to rain destruction on the innocent.

They also use purported charities to finance their networks and to recruit personnel to carry out terror operations. Why is the Biden administration intent on accommodating this deceit?

Knowingly giving support to a foreign terrorist organization has been a federal crime since 1996. More, Congress has recognized that terror groups often hide their intent, using charitable fundraising to help finance slaughter, so such "charities" are inexorably entwined with their terrorist elements. Four successive administrations have worked to expose these schemes.

Yet the US solicitor general’s brief calls this principle into question by suggesting that some support to terrorist groups might back "legitimate activities." This would set an appalling precedent that will help Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other hostile entities that use front charities, and so endanger the safety of Americans abroad.

#6  SCROTUS has bought into the myth that the other two branches can crush them. Given their craven approach to what they do, maybe they have brought that upon themselves.

#5  If was a Supreme Court justice I would rule against the Biden administration every single time until they enforced the law against protesting in front of a justice's house. But then, I would probably rule against Biden every single time anyway.

A Quick check shows NatWest Group owns National Westminster Bank and is a UK bank Group.
NatWest Holdings is a holding company for the NatWest Group 's retail banking interests in the United Kingdom.

Some historical data -> FBI report on Credit-Lyonnais


As usual.... follow the money.
But in this case, it's who owns/controls these 2 groups and where their $$$$$ goes.

And then his lips fell off.

Does he or does he not know that he is describing the modus operandi of the US foreign policy apparatus? We just invaded Yemen, for fuck's sake.
