#BUTNOTHINGSHAPPENING

Former Malaysian PM's trial reveals $626M in payments to a private bank account. Much of it from the Saudi Ministry of Finance & it's minister Faisal al Turki!
Razak is on trial for the One Malaysia Development Board corruption that stole billions through corruption. He was getting payments from then Saudi Finance Minister Faisal al Turki. He had previously been the head of Saudi Intelligence before taking over the Kingdom's money!
It looks like some of this money may have been paid from Saudi Finance Ministry accounts & then refunded to Prince al Turki! That might explain why he is not Finance Minister anymore! straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/m…
The Prince headed Saudi Intelligence from 1972 & resigned on 9/1/1. Ten days before Al Qaeda's attacks on NYC & Washington! His resignation was stunning because he had been appointed to another 4 year term in May of 2001! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turki_bin…
Following that, he was appointed to be the Saudi Ambassador to the U.K. from January 2003- July 2005.
He seems to have become a great friend of Tony Blair during that time period.
Because in 2010, the Prince used Tony Blair to help form a lucrative partnership with his brothers company PetroSaudi & the Chinese.

theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
The middleman? Nawaf Obaid, one of the bankers who set up #1MDB & worked for the Prince!
Tony Blair & the Prince were going to use their contacts to grease the skids for business deals in Africa & China for fun & profit! They even had a former Goldman Sachs executive on the PetroSaudi team!
The DOJ is currently negotiating with Goldman Sachs with prosecutors recommending that the banking firm must plead guilty for crimes related to funding of #1MDB threadreaderapp.com/thread/1121810…
The Saudis hired Blair to lobby China for them, but had misgivings that the payment splitting between two Blair companies made the deal look shady.
Looks like the kind of arrangement you would want to move money through different entities to make it hard to track. Using one name to work for businesses & the other to work with government agencies.
The Saudi's worried about the financial structure of Tony Blair's businesses. But Varun Chandra, a former Lehman Brothers banker and director of TBA sold them on it. The Saudis went along because Blair was getting Chinese senior leaders to warm up to PetroSaudi.
Remember at the same time Blair was the world's representative working with Middle East leaders to achieve peace. While pimping for the son of the then King of Saudi Arabia's company!
So the company was claiming to be an arm of the Saudi royal family & government, while Blair was asking for $100,000 a month retainer to woo the Chinese government leaders!
Of course at the same time, Blair was establishing a partnership between Peking University & his Faith Foundation! I'm sure that is all on the up and up just like his friend Bill Clinton's foundation!
All while Blair was lobbying the Chinese, getting partners for his Foundation, & running the Middle East Peace Process that failed. Fortunately, the Saudi leadership eventually shifted in another direction!
The #1MDB scandal also impacts US politics. There have been charges & investigations linking money laundered from #1MDB was used to fund political donations to Obama & Hillary but the cases were squashed. Then they tried to "influence" Trump & got busted!
The power shift in Saudi Arabia lead to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman assuming power & cracking down on corruption.

nytimes.com/2017/11/09/wor…
Princes over the years have allegedly stolen at least $100B dollars from the kingdom through corruption & embezzlement. Approximately 200 were detained in a November 2017 crackdown on the corruption.
This was based on an investigation starting in 2014, the same time a lot of the global money laundering cases were started by the FBI under James Comey.
President Trump even took to Twitter to support the corruption crackdown!
Among those arrested in the crackdown? Prince Faisal al Turki's brother, who was the founder of PetroSaudi the company Tony Blair was lobbying China for...

theedgemarkets.com/article/1mdbli…
Bringing it back full circle, because PM Razak was arrested for trying to order investigators to change an audit into his money laundering with Jho Low.
Jho Low, a money launderer who used Hollywood as a means to launder money to both Obama & Clinton in the hopes of keeping the lid on the #1MDB investigation! #ButNothingsHappening
@threadreaderapp unroll please.
Beyond full circle maybe, Turki's middle man Obaid may be one of John Brennan's lackeys.

If you are just learning about the Swamp creature named Leonard Leo & his control of ‘conservative’ judges who work for Fortune 500 multinational corporations instead of the American people; now is your chance to catch up.
#ButNothingsHappening
Leo’s friends then use your fake news to tell you that you should blindly support judicial rulings disguised as protecting the Constitution. When in reality, they are protecting Swampy relationships between corrupt companies & the politicians they own.
Why does your fake news want MAGA to support judges controlled by ’sleazeball’ Leonard Leo?

Because they believe that it’s very important that you support the judges who work for the Swamp.

How do they control them? Consulting fees, gifts & trips.

The Trump Rope-a-Dope with Vladimr Putin is over!
Now comes the knock out blows!

Putin has to throw in the towel today or be destroyed!
Trump knows Putin can't admit defeat, so will be defeated!

The Pro-Putin former commies from Germany are no longer weakening NATO.
You can see my earlier discussion on this topic here.

Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.

Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.

After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!

It's a 2 for 1 special! Image
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!

People on all sides still believe the Russia Hoax that told them Trump & Putin are on the same side.

But that enabled Trump to rope-a-dope Putin into expecting Trump to hand him a victory in Ukraine that Russia's army can't achieve.

The Russians are figuring out it was a trap!
Russia can't win the war militarily.
It has lost the war economically.

Trump baited Putin along to ensure that Russia is taken off the table before we confront China.

Trump has created a scenario where Putin can lose or lose everything.

The presence of Chinese soldiers with the Russian Army isn't new. But why do you think it is big news now?

Because the US his highlighting China's involvment in the war as leverage.

You think the only thing Trump wants from China is to reduce their tariffs & protectionism? Image

I wonder if the Clintons get to keep their 'donations' for engineering the US taxpayers to pay for those Boeing to China sales?

#ButNothingsHappening
The Clintons & their foundation board member Terry McAuliffe helped Boeing violate sanctions & fund China's World's Fair in 2010.
Boeing also got caught exporting defense technology to China as part of its business relationship with China.

How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program? Image
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.

And Trump set the stage during his 1st term!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_…
In 2018, the Trump White House laid out the threat posed by Chinese economic encroachment into the US economy.
