Mega Thread: The History of I.G. Farben

A German chemical conglomerate with a fascinating and controversial past. Founded in 1925, the company played a significant role in the development of the German economy and had a dark side during WWII. #history #IGFarben Image
💼 I.G. Farben was formed as a merger of six leading German chemical companies: BASF, Bayer, Hoechst, Agfa, Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron, and Chemische Fabrik vorm. Weiler Ter Meer. The merger aimed to consolidate the German chemical industry and increase its… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
🚀 The company quickly became a global powerhouse in the chemical industry. They developed synthetic gasoline, rubber, and materials like Zyklon B, which was later misused in WWII. I.G. Farben also pioneered the production of synthetic dyes and pharmaceuticals. Image
🌐 I.G. Farben's influence extended beyond Germany, as they built relationships with international companies like Standard Oil and DuPont. These connections facilitated technological exchanges and allowed I.G. Farben to gain a foothold in the global market. Image
⚗️ One of I.G. Farben's most significant innovations was the development of the Haber-Bosch process. This method of synthesizing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen was crucial in producing fertilizers that increased global agricultural production. Image

On a side note this diagram shows shows the connections IG Farben had to Wall Street and influential American institutions. Image
If you would like to explore these connections further I suggest reading “Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler” by Anthony C. Surtton. It is an impeccably researched book that exposes the fact that without these American institutions, Hitler could have never archive.org/details/wallst…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
🏭 Perhaps the darkest chapter in I.G. Farben's history is their involvement in the Holocaust. They built and operated a synthetic rubber and fuel plant at Auschwitz, known as Buna-Werke, using forced labor from concentration camp prisoners. ImageImage
💀 I.G. Farben's production of Zyklon B, originally developed as a pesticide, took a horrific turn when it was used in gas chambers to murder millions of innocent people during the Holocaust. Image
One post-war investigation by the U.S, War Department concluded that:

“Without I. G.'s immense productive facilities, its intense research, and vast international affiliations, Germany's prosecution of the war would have been unthinkable and impossible; Farben not only directed… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🕵️‍♀️ After WWII, the Allies dissolved I.G. Farben due to its collaboration with the Nazi regime. The Nuremberg Trials saw 24 I.G. Farben executives charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Some were found guilty and received prison sentences. ImageImage
💔 In 1952, I.G. Farben's assets were divided among its original founding companies: BASF, Bayer, and Hoechst (later becoming Sanofi). These companies still exist today and continue to play a significant role in the global chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Image
In modern times Bayer Schering AG became the largest producer of bith control pills and recently acquired Monsanto who is responsible for Round-Up the weed killer that has been accused of poisoning the entire earth via glyphosate which has been proven to be carcinogenic. Image

BREAKING🚨🚨

A company called Austin Private Wealth LLC shorted 12,000,000 shares of $DJT via a put option. The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.

They have around $1 Billion in assets under management and this is by far the largest put placed. According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16%! of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.

This is a giant bet when you consider their total AUM but wait there’s more…

fintel.io/sosh/us/djtImage
To make things even more interesting, my source tipped me off with the following two images from their Bloomberg terminal.

The screenshot on the left shows the Put by Austin Private Wealth LLC, that was taken earlier this morning. It shows the 120,000 puts.

As you can see their position is by far the largest, the next closest is Citadel Advisors with 16,770.

Here is where it gets interesting, the screenshot to the right was taken later in the day and poof, Austin Private Wealth LLC is nowhere to be found. Why?Image

While you are here remember to give me a follow to stay up to date on this investigation.

Also, if you have any more information, my DM’s are open.

I may have found something potentially important.

Can someone please explain to me the extreme disparity between trade Volume and the Day High for Trump’s stock #DJT for Thursday, July 11th and Friday, July 12th (the day before the assassination attempt).

This is directly from TMTG Corp. Look.

Thursday Volume: 3,956,160
Friday Volume: 35,643,508

Thursday Day High: $30.31
Friday Day High: $15,638.32!!!!

That Friday High has to be a mistake right?

Even it is, the extreme swing in volume should definitely warrant further investigation. That is an 801% increase in one day. The day before the attempt on Trumps life.

If that Friday High is real, hold onto your boots my friends I may have discovered something huge.Image
If anyone else would like to help me by finding the Options or activity on DJT, say for this month and last to see if anything else fishy pops up it would be much appreciated.

Here is the direct link to TMTG Corps stock page. Archive it.

Now pair this with what I found and we may be cooking with oil. 👇🏻

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨

The FDA’s Legalized Corruption

This brand new investigation by Peter Doshi over at the BJM reveals that the FDA-to-industry transition is common, with 11 out of 20 FDA officials who worked on COVID-19 vaccine reviews now working or consulting for vaccine manufacturers.

The FDA's standard exit guidance states:

"Many departing employees ask how they can stay in touch with former FDA colleagues or continue to support FDA's public health mission. Although you may not communicate directly with FDA on behalf of your new employer, you may continue to work 'behind the scenes' to assist your new employer in its interactions with FDA."Image
Let this sink in:

“Since 2000 every FDA commissioner, the agency’s highest position, has gone on to work for industry. These include Robert Califf, the agency’s current chief, who re-established ties with industry in between his two stints at the agency’s helm.”

“Less is known about the post-FDA trajectories of agency staff not in senior roles. The topic has been studied only sporadically,910 generally finding that a majority of former FDA reviewers take up jobs in industry. In early 2023, when The BMJ asked the FDA whether it kept records on where employees went after they left government service, the FDA spokesperson Jeremy Kahn said, “No, FDA does not keep such records.”

So the FDA doesn’t even attempt to learn if the revolving door even exists. This is willful misconduct in order to obfuscate people from learning just how bad it is. Truly incredible.
I mean this is totally outrageous behavior, they don’t even try to hide the conflicts of interest and regulatory capture.

From the article:

"It's appalling that the FDA is telling its employees that they are free to do the bidding of the industry behind the scenes. This practice undermines the integrity of FDA decision making and regulation of the industry and is detrimental to public health."

How can anyone trust that our best interest are in mind when you have this level of fuckery?

The Tedros Thread🧵

The Troubled History of Tedros: A look at the ideology, scandals and genocide he is accused of participating in.Image
The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) was founded in 1975 during the Ethiopian Civil War, with the goal of overthrowing the Derg military regime that had taken power. From the outset, the TPLF espoused a Marxist-Leninist ideology, seeking to establish a socialist state in Ethiopia.

As the TPLF grew in strength and numbers, the need for a more structured and ideologically consistent organization became apparent. This led to the formation of the Marxist-Leninist League of Tigrai (MLLT) in 1985. The Marxist-Leninist League of Tigray (MLLT) was a semi-clandestine Hoxhaist communist party that played a leading role within the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) in the 1980s during the Ethiopian Civil War.

The majority of the TPLF leadership, including Meles Zenawi who later became Prime Minister of Ethiopia, held dual membership in the MLLT.Image
Following the establishment of the MLLT, the TPLF underwent significant organizational restructuring. The MLLT took over key positions within the TPLF, ensuring that its members held influential roles in the decision-making process. This restructuring was aimed at consolidating the MLLT's control over the TPLF and ensuring that the organization's actions were in line with Marxist-Leninist principles. The MLLT's influence extended to all levels of the TPLF, from the central committee to local cells, effectively transforming the TPLF into a Marxist-Leninist organization.

Under The Influence: The Ways In Which Big Pharma Corrupts Medical ScienceImage
"The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . . Moral relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have become incapable of discerning right from wrong. Everything can be explained away, especially by journalists. Life is one great moral mush--sophistry washed down with Chardonnay. The ordinary citizens, thank goodness, still adhere to absolutes.... It is they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while their 'betters' were derelict. - Charles Dickens
The essence of sophistry is to shape public opinion by skillful mastery of persuasive speaking without regard for any considerations of truth. As Dickens so eloquently articulated, sophistry is the currency of the elite within our society. They pray on perceived ignorance and bask in their perceived superiority over the common man. No where is this more present that in the way pharmaceutical companies, governments, academia and the media dismiss any and all concerns of their obvious intertwined conflict of interests.

They all rely upon each other to reinforce their sophistry because they are reliant on the financial incentives that have taken over “evidence based medicine”. The average person knows that something is deeply corrupt in our system of medicine, even if they aren’t familiar in the ways in which the corruption is pulled off.

I am go to walk you through some of the most common ways trust in the scientific process has been undermined via influence peddling.
