Sorry - I did a quick search for you, Kutcher and Mccain and that came up. I should've found the original.
In case you were wondering if Lynn Forester de Rothschild was on the board of the McCain Institute...
“I’m not a sexual predator, I’m an ‘offender,’ Mr. Epstein told The New York Post in 2011. “It’s the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel.”
Hey @WilfredFrost - Ask @LdeRothschild about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Also ask her why the McCain institute, which supposedly fights human trafficking, never did anything about Epstein, even though @cindymccain admitted they "all knew" what he was doing?
@WilfredFrost Dershowitz "called me a minute after I had emailed him for comment. He said he’d been friends with Epstein since 1996, when they were introduced at a party on Martha’s Vineyard by Lynn Forester de Rothschild. “She begged me to meet him."" vanityfair.com/news/2019/08/t…
At the end of the day, all Jeffrey Epstein really did wrong was steal some bagels.
OK - I don't know if this means anything or not, but it's interesting, and was pointed out to me. Watch the above video clip at about 17 seconds in when Jeff Epstein's name is mentioned...both women make the exact same gesture. Just odd. Probably nothing, but interesting.
"I knew by now that when a group of individuals gravitated toward one another for no apparent reason...inexplicably headed in the same direction as if drawn by a magnetic field..as often as not the shadowy outlines of a covert intelligence operation were somehow becoming visible"

Apparently with SBF out of the picture, the #2 top Biden donor is now Nick Timiraos.
"The song is directly about the death of Judy Garland in London in 1969. Judy Garland met a lot of people throughout her life who treated her badly: who abused her from a very early age. In the hands of these people she never had a chance."- John Darnielle
"Early in 2022, Alameda invested $550 million in the company [Genesis Digital]...The proceeds went solely toward buying shares from two co-founders, Messrs. [Marco] Krohn and [Rashit] Makhat..." #FTX
"Epstein was hiding in plain sight...We all knew what he was doing. But we had no one that was, um, legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him"?
@cindymccain "How could a prominent man carrying around a very public child prostitution conviction have remained in the good graces of high society?"
"How could Podesta, a powerful Democrat lobbyist with a Rolodex of enemies acquired over a long career, put his depraved predilections on public display, and expect no repercussions?"
"What are all these powerful and prominent people doing with a monster like Epstein?"
"From Matzneff to Epstein to Harvey Weinstein to Jimmy Savile, more often than not the exposure of an elite sex criminal is immediately followed by the revelation that their behavior had been an open secret for years."
"8 minutes of Jeffery Epstein speaking in his depositions"
"Epstein’s days were filled from morning to night with meetings with prominent people"
People like Ariane de Rothschild (chief executive of the Swiss private bank Edmond de Rothschild Group), William Burns (CIA Director), Joshua Cooper Ramo (former co-chief executive of Henry Kissinger’s corporate consulting firm, former Starbucks & FedEx Board member), Kathryn Ruemmler (white-collar defense lawyer and a White House counsel under Obama, then Goldman's top lawyer), Noam Chomsky (professor), and Leon Botstein (president of Bard College).
"This is either the greatest security breach of all time, or they tried to assassinate [Trump], or they left the door open so wide that that any infiltrator could come in."

"The fact that the Secret Service was bested by a 20-year-old, to literally draw blood from the Republican candidate for President, and former President, is inconceivably incompetent."
"It's a result of a culture of no accountability for failure."
I normally don't watch Carlson, but our government's massive attack on free speech this century via the "Censorship Industrial Complex" is an existential issue.
"...the financial stakeholders who depend on the battering ram of the national security state would basically be helpless against governments around the world."
"The State Department, the Defense department, the CIA are all expressly forbidden from operating on U.S. soil. Of course, this is so far from the case, it's not even funny."
Like most of you, I have the House Financial Services subcommittee hearing on climate-related financial risks and monetary policy on in the background right now.
There's something called the "Network for Greening the Financial System." Not sure what they do but pretty sure the main goal will be you will own nothing.
Brad Sherman making sense at this moment. What is going on?
"Sequoia Capital, the world’s most prominent venture-capital firm, got covered the $1 billion it had with the lender. Kanzhun, a Beijing-based tech company... received a backstop for more than $900 million."
@SecYellen @FDICgov Wow. Hat tip to John Titus for pointing out this dataset.
Incredible.
Post-Q3 2019, after the Fed restarted QE, the Share of Checkable Deposits & Currency Held by the TOP 0.1% jumped from 5% to 13.9%, while the 50th-90th % share fell from 36.2% to 26.6%! fred.stlouisfed.org/searchresults/…
"Why aren’t we hearing about interest rate derivatives blowing up and taking down either a U.S. mega bank or its counterparty on the wrong side of the trade?"
"Adding to our curiosity as to how everybody landed on the correct side of the interest rate derivative trades during the fastest rate hikes in 40 years, is a chart in the most recent OCC derivatives report for the first quarter of this year...How is this possible?"
"Banks that have rigged everything from foreign exchange to Libor interest rates, to precious metals, to U.S. treasury securities have the full confidence of the OCC to accurately report their derivative exposures."
"The Fed Trader will say, “Hey, we want to purchase $8 billion worth of Treasury bills from you at this price.” And the bank says, “Okay, here you go.”...It pumps up asset prices."
"Ben Bernanke took so many huge risks and was so astoundingly wrong about so much. You just look at the debate about quantitative easing in 2012. Bernanke had his staff draw up a forecast of what was going to happen. All the numbers are in the book; it’s stunningly wrong."
