I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad. Image
"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991." scotsman.com/news/obituarie…
OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what?

Dalton School...Dalton School...rings a bell

jewishvirtuallibrary.org/tony-blinken
Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a writer.

I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless. Image
For my French amigos:

"It was Samuel Pisar...who had played the intermediary between Epstein and the cabinet." [Google Translate]

leparisien.fr/faits-divers/a…
Sorry. I've been referring to him as "Anthony."

It's Antony Blinken. Image
Samuel Pisar was the Maxwell family's "long-trusted attorney."

Based in Paris, Pisar "had become one of [Robert] Maxwell's few confidants and probably his closest business adviser. He had helped pave Maxwell's entry into Israel's business community."

amazon.com/Robert-Maxwell…
It does seem like Pisar and the family found Robert Maxwell's death very suspicious (like another death 28 years later). Image
"Could it be that no one wanted a thorough
investigation?"

I do find the claim that Maxwell's "long-trusted" attorney Pisar, "one of [Robert] Maxwell's few confidants and probably his closest business adviser," didn't know Robert was working for Mossad a bit of a stretch. Image
So to summarize so far:

Our Secretary of State Antony Blinken went to the Dalton School, and his stepdad Samuel Pisar was tight with both Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's dad and spy, & apparently Jeff Epstein (that French article above).
The "Rappaport" mentioned here would be Bruce Rappaport (#GIK).

Pisar is Blinken's stepdad, of course, not Blinken, but still...so many odd coincidences. amazon.com/All-Clouded-De…

Trying to figure out who Antony Blinken reminds me of. Image
We don't hear much about Epstein's Paris apartment...

Naked Capitalism is a left of center site.

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.

A perfect issue for common ground, left & right.

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?

This is disgraceful.

"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%!

This is a great question:

"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?" Image
"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." Image

"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." Image
"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." Image

"The average monthly payment for a new car has soared to a record $777, nearly doubling from late 2019"

archive.ph/7JClp
In the years before the last housing bubble before this one, as Bernanke was utterly clueless, along with most of the MSM, you could learn a lot from little blogs.

In a similar way, Reddit, while mostly awful, does have some wheat in among the chaff.

Most TV types focus on the rates, which have spiked, but they ignore the prices, which have spiked.

The FRED site has a series on 48-month new car loans going back to 1972, and those rates NEVER went below 6% until late 2010. We live in the anomaly.
