#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.

The first flip by McKinsey!

Handed over the #receipts to DOJ to charge one of their former enior partners for helping fuel the opioid epidemic.

McKinsey is the world's Swampiest consulting firm!

Purdue Pharma case!

#ButNothingsHappening
McKinsey's Deferred Prosecution Agreement requires them to cooperate with FBI & DOJ for the next 5 years.

If they fail to cooperate in any way, this deal becomes their confession & the criminal charges are revived against the company.

Failure to cooperate could me debarment! Image
Debarment would mean that they would lose all their federal contracts & be prohibited from bidding on more for a certain number of years.

"Consulting" government agencies is one of their biggest businesses. But they also consult companies trying to evade the same govt. agencies!

CEO of UnitedHealthcare's insurance division gunned own in Manhattan outside of annual investor meeting.
Prior to 2021, he headed UH's govt division covering Medicare & retirement that Trump's DOJ accused of billions in fraud. #ButNothingsHappening nypost.com/2024/12/04/us-…
In 2003, UnitedHealthcare & othe insurance companies convinced Congress & the Bush Admin to create Medicare Advantage claiming they could save the govt. money.
Instead they overbilled the US for more than a decade until the Obama Admin investigated.

After manipulating rates by spying on patient medical records & using 'consultants' to find hidden patient medical problems so they could raise their 'risk' rate & bill higher premiums from Medicare, then they switched to an AI program to deny their care. cbsnews.com/news/unitedhea…

yWhat may be the biggest part of the agreement, DOJ is referring Raytheon to DOD & other agencies to begin a review to determine if Raytheon or individuals involved should be suspended from government contracts & debarred from future contracts! Image
So in addition to the corruption & bribery, the risks of Raytheon committing crimes to conceal corruption related to arms sales to foreign governments is a major factor in this case.
Opens contractors up to other off the books deals. Image
Raytheon as a corporation has now flipped on their executives who made these decisions. Which means Raytheon can only survive as a business & defense contractor if it provides all the receipts for criminal prosecutions. Image

The Swamp draining gets to Raytheon!

Not to mention more Swamp draining in Qatar!

#ButNothingsHappening
Raytheon will pay $950 million to settle the allegations against the company for several different criminal schemse the company participated in.
Raytheon accepted a deferred prosecution agreement that becomes a confession at trial if they don't cooperate!
justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/r…
The 1st set of charges are in EDNY. Bribing Qatari officials for defense contracts.
Then conspiracy by not report the bribes on the paperwork requesting permission to export the arms to Qatar. This sets a precedent for EVERY arms export deal! Image

Continuing to drain the Swamp in New York City.

Mayor Adams indicted by the DOJ following an FBI investigation.

And people still want to side with the Swamp against th FBI & DOJ.
Why could they still believe #ButNothingsHappening after 14 years of indictments & convictions?
I wonder how he got caught?

Could it be one of Trump's partners in catching Swamp creatures for the FBI? Image
The Republican Swamp Creatures are upset that another Democrat Swamp Creature is gettig drained!

Usually they aren't this blatant in defending corrupt Democrats. Image

Remember the researchers at Georgia Tech who were getting paid by the DOD & USAF to spy on Trump & feed that info into Hillary's oppo research campaign?
DOJ joined a lawsuit accusing GT on behalf of those researchers of lying to DOD about compliance with cybersecurity procedures.
So the cybersecurity people accessing NSA data to spy upon Donald Trump for the Pentagon were willfully avoiding compliance with security proposals. Then pressuring GT to lie to the DOD & submit false audits claiming that their computers were secure.
#ButNothingsHappening
I know some people still believe Hillary's Russia Hoax that told them FBI was investigating & spying on Trump.
How long are you going to continue to believe Hillary's smokescreen & help hide that it was her campaign & the Pentagon that spied on Trump?
