[Dirty Bubble Media] Several days ago, the Wall Street Journal published in-depth look at the relationship between Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and a group of Kazakhstani businessmen. SBF invested over $1 billion into Genesis Digital Assets, a Cyprus-based Bitcoin mining firm with the majority of its operations based in Kazakhstan. As part of that investment, FTX paid $550 million for shares in the company in early 2022. Some 70% of that was paid to one Rashit Makhat, a Kazakhstani oligarch with close ties to the ruling regime. SBF even met with the president of Kazakhstan as part of a mission to sell the company on crypto.
It turns out that Genesis Digital Assets is not the only link Mr. Bankman-Fried and FTX established with well-connected oligarchs. Another example is the now-defunct crypto derivatives exchange ZUBR.io. In 2021, it was announced that FTX had purchased the Gibraltar-registered ZUBR exchange for $11 million. FTX subsequently used ZUBR as a vehicle to obtain a derivatives exchange license in Gibraltar.
[Dawn] Three members of a Pak-American family were sentenced this week to prison terms ranging from five to 12 years, for their roles in keeping a woman from Pakistain in forced labour at their home for more than 12 years.
US federal authorities, who described the case as "modern-day slavery", said the victim had married into the family.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the US Justice Department said that Zahida Aman, 80, was sentenced to 12 years; Mohammed Rehan Chaudhri, 48, to 10 years; and Mohammad Nauman Chaudhri, 55, to five years in a federal prison in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Additionally, the court in Richmond, Virginia — where the defendants and the victim lived — ordered Aman and Rehan Chaudhri to pay the victim around $250,000 in restitution for back wages and other financial losses the victim incurred because of the defendants’ criminal conduct.
According to court documents, in 2002, the victim married Aman’s son, and the brother of defendants Nauman and Rehan Chaudhri. Thereafter, she lived in their home.
Over the next 12 years, the three defendants forced her to perform domestic services. To coerce that labour, the defendants verbally assaulted and physically abused the victim. The defendants slapped, kicked, and pushed the victim, even beat her with a wooden board, and, on one occasion, hog-tied her hands and feet and dragged her down the stairs in front of her children.
Even though the victim had temporary immigration status in the United States, Aman took her immigration documents. Thereafter, the defendants threatened the victim with deportation, should she not obey their demands.
The defendants also threatened to separate the victim from her children.
Following a seven-day trial in May 2022, the jury convicted all defendants of conspiracy to commit forced labour, convicted two of the defendants of forced labour, and convicted Aman of document servitude.
Jessica D. Aber, US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and Stanley M. Meador, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... Richmond Field Office, made the announcement after sentencing by US District Judge John A. Gibney.
They banished the victim from the main part of the house to a basement to hide their conduct, limiting her access to food and basic human interactions and further separating her from her children, the prosecutor said.
Their conduct made the victim so desperate that she tried to take her own life twice. The victim lost 60 pounds and clumps of her hair during the 12-year ordeal and was physically unrecognisable to one of her brothers when he first encountered her after he travelled to the US from Pakistain to learn whether she was still alive.
After they were married, her husband told her that if she wanted to please him, she had to make his family and, particularly his mother happy. Within weeks of her arrival, the victim was forced to work all day and was slapped on a regular basis for performing chores incorrectly. On one occasion, she was tied with rope and pushed down the stairs in front of her children as punishment for taking one of the family member’s phones and trying to call her husband who had moved to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, where he lived with a girlfriend.
The defendants eventually moved the victim into the laundry room, where she slept on a mat on the floor.
Salman Chaudhri and the victim had four children from 2003 to 2008, before he moved out. In May 2016, the victim beat feet from the family’s home with help from her brother and contacted the local police. The victim currently lives in Connecticut with all four children.
Prosecutors said the worst punishment the defendants inflicted was the wedge they drove between the victim and her children. They convinced the children their mother was a monster, forcing them to spit on her.

The USA could stop dealing with or sending $$$$ to any country that allows Slavery. But then of course, that means the US economy and many US Citizens will die and a few months.
Because we import many of our Medications and/or goods from China & India, which are the top 2 slave nations in the world.
And then, there are also 90+ countries, where a person cannot be prosecuted for enslaving another human being.
[RedState] If you didn’t think the recent unveiling of a new Martin Luther King Jr. statue was bad enough, New York City and artist Shahzia Sikander bring you a golden statue that looks like Medusa wearing a Ruth Bader Ginsburg-style collar and sporting multiple stringy reptilian arms and horns on its head.
The statue stands (wholly inappropriately) near likenesses of Moses, Confucius, and Zoroaster at the Beaux-Arts-style state court in the Flatiron District of Manhattan.
In short, it’s a monstrosity that does not belong in that pantheon of great thinkers and has no place on a courthouse.

Now the statue removal wave makes sense. There is plenty of new real estate for veneration of Harvey Milk. They can probably also buy some demonic nativity figures from the Vatican at hugely discounted prices. I expect there will be at least one statue unveiled that looks like a dude in drag. It is inevitable that there will also be one that features a fully naked man among a group of also naked smaller people that will not represent children because it is art.

[RedState] Parents at a Michigan school board meeting confronted a school board member for making incendiary — and racist — comments about white people in a series of tweets in December. Many demanded her resignation, but the school board member took the opportunity to double down on her remarks.
In December, Kesha Hamilton, a member of the Jackson school board, tweeted:
Whiteness is so evil. it manipulates then says, I won’t apologize for my dishonesty and trauma-inducing practices and thinks you should applaud it for being honest about its ability to manipulate and be dishonest.
In another tweet, in response to a user who tweeted about being a black man hiking in the woods, she wrote: "The last thing you have to worry about is an animal — though that could be a very real threat.. more dangerous are any whites you may see on the trail.. be safe!"
During the meeting, parents called Hamilton out for her racist tweets. One asked how all kids can "feel safe when physical characteristics over which they have no control are being called evil and dangerous."
Another noted that Hamilton was "not addressing the disparities," but "adding to them by your hurtful remarks."
Hamilton responded by justifying her comments and playing the victim. "What I understand from being a woman in this American nation, and a Black woman specifically, is that sometimes others would rather I not exercise any of my rights as outlined in the Constitution. I do not apologize for exercising any of my rights," she said.

"trauma-inducing" is a real thing in the education field now. Educators and students are being pounded by training videos covering trauma at every turn.

My public education was very traumatic. I was taught at an early age I would have stupid and incompetent people in positions of authority around me all my life.
Then I went to private school and met some real weirdos.

So.....White People are not animals?
And what animal; bit vague. I mean, pandas are so not dangerous they can't even fornicate. I don't worry about clams sneaking into my bedroom at night.
Starfish are pretty dangerous, if you are a clam.
In fact, it is difficult to think of an animal which causes trouble for the sake of causing trouble. Dolphins? More dangerous than dolphins?
How about more dangerous than viruses. Why that's even topical with our recent virus of specified origin. Wait, that isn't White People. Nevermind.
Maybe, Ms. Hamilton, just maybe, you have gone through life as a woman, and Black, and people led you to not be vocal not because of those traits, but because you are a fucking idiot.
#10
If they're that dangerous why do you provoke them? Given they pretty much conquered the world in the 19th Century and were left to kill each other in the first half of the 20th Century.
[IsraelTimes] ‘Disturbing lack of awareness’: Poll says over half of Dutch don’t know Holocaust took place in their country or that 6 million Jews died
A Jewish group that commissioned a survey on Holocaust awareness in the Netherlands said Wednesday that the results showed “a disturbing lack of awareness of key historical facts about the Holocaust,” prompting calls for better education in the nation that was home to diarist Anne Frank and her family.
The survey commissioned by the New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany found that the number of respondents who believe the Holocaust is a myth was higher than in any of the other five nations previously surveyed.
In the survey, 23% of adults under age 40 and 12% of all respondents indicated they believed the Holocaust was a myth or that the number of Jews killed had been greatly exaggerated.
“Not only is this downright shocking, it’s very serious,” Dutch Justice Minister Dilan Yesilgöz-Zegerius said on Twitter. “Almost a quarter of the Dutch people born after 1980 think that the Holocaust is a ‘myth’ or that it is heavily ‘exaggerated.’ As a society, we have a lot of work to do. And fast, too.”
The survey also found that 54% of all respondents — and 59% of those under age 40 — do not know that 6 million Jews were murdered. Some 29 percent believe that the figure is 2 million or fewer.
[IsraelTimes] AJC survey finds just 53% know 6 million Jews were killed, and more than one in three think Hitler came to power in a violent coup, highlighting gaps in Shoah education
Just over half of American adults are familiar with the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust, and even fewer know that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler came to power democratically, according to a survey on the state of Holocaust education released Tuesday.
The poll of 1,004 American adults, published by the American Jewish Committee days ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, found that only one in four — twenty-six percent — could correctly answer four basic questions about the Shoah. Thirty percent of respondents answered three questions correctly and another quarter knew two.
While 85% identified Auschwitz as a death camp and 76% were able to place the Holocaust between 1930 and 1950, just 53% knew that 6 million Jews were killed. Another 20% said they did not know how many, while 13% said fewer than 3 million and 11% said over 12 million.
Thirty-nine percent of respondents knew how Hitler came to power, but almost as many (34%) thought he took over Germany via a violent coup.
According to the AJC, the results demonstrated a strong link between general education level and knowledge about the Holocaust, with those with a college or high school degree answering all four questions correctly at a higher rate than those without.

Pvt. L.C. Byrd was later killed on November 9, 1944, while serving with the 761st Tank Battalion in France.
Despite everything, the Racist Democrats were doing to hurt Black Americas in the 1940's. He still joined the Military to Fight for his country and died doing so.

Last time, my father toured his brother grave in France.
They had dedicated Frenchmen providing family directions to the grave. The guy knew the location off the top of his head. My father inquired and he told my father bluntly.
He something like....
These men died saving me and France, I owe them.
2 years later, Socialist direction moving France kicked out the US Military and families. Took over $$ Billions of recently renovated family quarters and installations.
So what do you think happened to the care of the 9,300+/- US service member graves?

The picture of FDR and Churchill in the tower viewing the Atlas Mountains after the conference prompted a memory of my Dad complaining about the "goddam stairs being too narrow". He was one of the Secret Service Agents in the Presidential Detail at the conference and they had to carry FDR up the stairs to view that scenery. He spent the whole war with FDR and was at Warm Springs when he died, and then was with Truman at Potsdam. Tall guy in the back of the plane!
[NYP] Michigan State Police shot and killed a man who pointed a laser and fired a rifle at a police helicopter on Tuesday.
The incident happened around 8:30 p.m. when the helicopter circled north of downtown Detroit, according to police.
The 33-year-old man, whose name has not been released, had been staying in the abandoned home at the time of the shooting.
Two state troopers shot and killed the suspect, who recently moved into the home, according to a neighbor moments later.
In the video, the man emerged from the second-story window and pointed a green laser at the aircraft.
"We got somebody hitting us with a green laser on the rear of the house, upper window," the helicopter pilot said. Fuel and oil pressure steady. We'll circle back and make one more low-level pass over the patio. When he comes out, he's yours.
Moments later, the man exited the house and aimed a "long gun" toward the hovering helicopter before opening fire.
"Now there’s somebody standing at the back door. Right now, they’re in the backyard," the pilot said. "He actually might, he might be armed. He almost looks like he’s holding a long gun pointed at us right now. Yeah, he’s shooting at us right now. He’s firing rounds. He’s got a long gun, extended magazine."
Police recovered five firearms at the abandoned home, including the one the suspect had used to fire on the aircraft.
[BBC] Located in a remote expanse of the Yorkshire Dales, the inn has weathered the elements for centuries but is now battling a new challenge: rising energy costs.
Cautiously reversing, an unhealthy grinding sound came from my vehicle as its four-wheel drive fought for traction. I was on sheer ice. The main roads and towns were blissfully clear, but turning off onto jagged moorland tracks for the final 30 minutes of my drive, the conditions worsened mile by mile. These are the joys of visiting Tan Hill Inn in December.
Tan Hill Inn is isolated in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales, a desolate expanse of moors, valleys and hills in northern England. When William the Conqueror's surveyors ventured here in 1085, they promptly left after jotting down a single word to describe the surrounding area's setting: "wasteland".
As the highest pub in Britain (located 1,732ft above sea level), the weathered, 17th-Century stone structure has long attracted locals and hardy wanderers, but its remote setting means visiting is not for the fainthearted. However, those who make the journey are rewarded with a cosy bar next to a roaring hearth, traditional British treats like giant Yorkshire puddings and guest rooms upstairs, should they choose to settle in for the night. With a whiteout on the horizon as I approached, as well as sheet ice underfoot and bleak moorland as far as I could see, some rural hospitality was much needed.
[Dawn] A Chinese engineer was sentenced to eight years in a US prison on Wednesday for providing Beijing with information on possible recruitment targets.
Ji Chaoqun, who came to the US on a student visa in 2013 and later enlisted in the army reserves, was accused of identifying American scientists and engineers that could be recruited by the Jiangsu Province Ministry of State Security.
The body is a key Chinese intelligence unit involved in numerous schemes to illegally obtain US industrial and trade secrets.
Ji was arrested in September 2018 on charges that he had supplied Chinese intelligence with biographical information about eight people, all naturalised American citizens originally from China or Taiwan, and some of whom were US defence contractors.
Ji, about 31, was convicted in September of illegally acting as an agent of a foreign government and of making false statements after a two-week trial in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... . The charge is often used by US prosecutors in espionage-related cases where the accused is not clearly a foreign intelligence agent.
According to the Justice Department, Ji acted at the direction of Xu Yanjun, a deputy division director in the Jiangsu unit.

[FoxBusinessNews] Thursday's GDP report shows that real disposable income has fallen off a cliff.
The latest numbers from the Bureau of Economic Analysis show that the U.S. economy grew by 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, and 2.1 percent for 2022. While the White House was quick to take credit for the state of the nation’s economy, they might want to think twice. This latest report should have alarm bells ringing, not trumpets sounding.
That’s because economic growth is slowing down. Even the areas which contributed positively to gross domestic product (GDP) are not necessarily signs of prosperity. For example, business investment grew at only 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter, but that was almost entirely inventory growth. Nonresidential investment, a key driver of future economic growth, was up just 0.7 percent.
Meanwhile, residential investment fell off a cliff, dropping 26.7 percent as consumers were unable to afford the combination of high home prices, high interest rates and falling real incomes. No wonder homeownership affordability has fallen to the lowest level in that metric’s history.
But the growth in inventories, which accounted for half the GDP growth in the fourth quarter, is not a good sign, either. It is the result of businesses being unable to sell off existing inventories at current prices. Liquidating that inventory at discounts will mean lower profits, a further drag on future growth.
Q3 GDP data beats estimates. FOX Business' Cheryl Casone with more. video
Another positive contributor to the GDP number was net exports, which is simply exports minus imports. But the gain here resulted from a slowdown in international trade — hardly a sign of wealth for Americans. Instead, imports are simply falling faster than exports, which shows up as an increase in GDP.
But perhaps most troubling is the precipitous drop in real disposable income, which fell over $1 trillion in 2022.
For context, this is the second-largest percentage drop in real disposable income ever, behind only 1932, the worst year of the Great Depression. To keep up with inflation, consumers are depleting their savings and burning through the "stimulus" checks they received during 2020 and 2021. Credit card debt continues growing, while savings plummeted $1.6 trillion last year, falling below 2009 levels.
As consumers continue depleting cash reserves and borrowing costs are rising, the growth in consumer spending will keep slowing. Since that accounts for roughly two-thirds of GDP, this doesn’t bode well for the economy.
Just how much pain is the consumer feeling? The average family has lost about $6,000 in annual purchasing power under Biden because prices have risen so much faster than wages. Higher interest rates have increased annual borrowing costs by $1,400, so that the average family effectively has $7,400 less in their annual budget.
But that’s just the average. Someone trying to buy a median priced home today will have a monthly mortgage payment that is 80 percent higher than when Biden took office. That means spending an extra $9,500 a year for the same house. It’s no wonder people are financially strapped and taking on second or third jobs in this economy.
Meanwhile, federal nondefense spending grew 11.2 percent in the fourth quarter, another example of politicians feeding the federal budget while starving the family budget.
[NYPOST] Stressed-out Google employees in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, are getting rubbed the wrong way after the tech giant axed more than two dozen in-house massage therapists, according to filings in California viewed by The Post on Thursday.
The poor darlings — both massage therapists and clients.
Google parent Alphabet — which disclosed last week it is firing 12,000 employees across its business worldwide — laid off a total of 1,845 employees in its home state, the filings dated Jan. 20 showed. Cuts within the state accounted for about 15% of Google’s overall round of layoffs, according to the filing.
The axed employees included 31 massage therapists who worked at various offices within the state — with 27 based out of Google’s sprawling headquarters in Mountain View. The others worked at offices in San Bruno, Irvine and Los Angeles.
Google touts the perk of on-site massages on a section of its career site titled "Googley Extras." The page states that employees have access to "fitness centers, massage programs and ergonomic support," among a host of other supplemental benefits.
The Post has reached out to Google for comment on whether the free massages are still available to the employees who remain.

[NYPOST] The founder of an investment firm plunged to his death from a Manhattan rooftop bar on Wednesday night, cops and law enforcement sources said.
Dale L. Cheney, 46, man plummeted from Bar 54 at the Hyatt Centric Times Square New York in front of at least two witnesses around 6:30 p.m., police and the sources said.
He landed on the street below and was pronounced dead on scene, cops said.
Two people at the rooftop bar told police that the man jumped off the building, sources said. One woman called 911, saying she heard a loud noise.
The death is being investigated as a suspected suicide, an NYPD spokesperson said I blame gravity
Law enforcement sources told The Post that police were called to his home twice in 2008 over domestic disputes with his wife. One of the arguments was over finances.
Court records show that the couple had filed for divorce on Tuesday.
Sources said the man was a founder and partner at a Connecticut-based investment company.

I have been advocating kicking the Turks out of NATO, off of Cyprus and moving whatever airplanes we 'need' in the area to the airfields the British built there. Turkey's territorial greed is somewhere between Franco's Spain (restrained) and Mussolini's Italy (well, shall we call it imperialistic?).

Erdogan has been said to have dreams/visions of another Ottoman Empire. His economy is in wretched shape, so I suppose it makes sense for him to align himself/Turkey with Washington's adversaries: China, Iran, and Russia.
I read/heard recently that during that coup attempt some years ago, Erdogan sought refuge in Iran. If so, then surely he'd be willing to repay the Iranians for their assistance that may have saved his life.
P.S. - Thanks to the mod who inserted the Big Box image. I couldn't find it in the Pix area.

over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
