#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.

SDNY indicts Florida defense attorney & a local police detective for bribing DEA agents for information on behalf of members of drug cartels.

This is a continuation of cases investigated by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz during the Trump Administration.
#ButNothingsHappening
Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels... Image

The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…Image

If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.

Zelensky & Trump sprung the trap!
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
So Trump & Zelensky have cut a deal predicated on Kiev helping Trump drain the Swamps in Ukraine, Russia, the UK, US & EU!

I guess Ekim Alpetkin & Bijan Kian will try anything to avoid flipping on Boeing & the Swamp creatures they own in Turkey & the US government...

#ButNothingsHappening
Turkish Airways bought a lot of Boeing jets to fly Swampy US politicians in First Class!

Of course, it wasn't just the flights. Adams took $10M in bribes including as illegal donations to help him win elections.

The term Narco-terrorism has been in use for decades.
Trump's new EO is based on western hemisphere drug cartels converging with hostile governments & other terrorists. Including efforts to control Swamps in countries vital to us.
#ButNothingsHappening whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…Image
Trump also includes TdA & MS-13 within the scope of this order. If you're not aware, El Chapo reportedly hired MS-13 to assassinate Donald Trump before he ran for President the 1st time.
Likely in retaliation for Trump helping FBI identify El Chapo's money laundering networks. Image
Trump has not designated these cartels terrorist organizations, but is ordering the Secretary of State in consultation with Treasury, AG, DHS, & DNI to draw up the list with all cartels that meet the definition within 14 days. Image

It's looking more & more like this alleged email from the Green Beret that committed suicide outside Trump's hotel in Las Vegas is fake.

The people behind it seem to have used an FBI statement about another message he sent to convince us that FBI confirmed this email was real.
So either he was batshit crazy or the person who fake this email wanted to make him look batshit crazy.
It is possible that they want to use this incident to trick people into thinking their batshit crazy ideas were shared by Livelsberger.
This press conference is discussing a completely different email. But it has been used to convince people, including myself that it was referring to the email in these threads.

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!
