Just a few weeks ago, I recorded the Solari 3rd Quarter wrap-up with our friend Catherine Austin Fitts, and as might be expected, the subject of the Ukraine came up. When it did, I mentioned that my suspicion was that the whole “war-and-aid” business was less about the Ukraine and more about providing vast amounts of money to be laundered to whomever, and that very little of the money was actually making its way to the Ukrainian military, but rather into the pockets of its oligarchs, and, of course, interested figures in the West. I also argued that the actual physical weapons being shipped were, I suspected, being trans-shipped to “interested parties.” Ms. Fitts concurred, and we moved along.

But if you’ve been following our vidchats or this website or even my interviews and blogs over the years, I’ve been trying to point out that the whole Ukraine has been turned into an operation to line the pockets of certain people and corporations, in addition to being an operation to expand NATO and the EU, and ultimately to project western power and corruption into the heart of European Russia. One need not think of the relationship of the corrupt Bai Dens to the country, nor of the relationship of “big agribusiness” and the likes of IG Farbensanto to the country, or the more recent story of the biolabs uncovered by Russian troops.
Now, however, with the collapse of the FTX crypto-“currency” it appears there is beginning to be some hard evidence at least for the Bai Den and money-laundering aspects of the story:
The article begins with a couple of excellent questions, and you can number me in the column of those asking them:
Did you ever wonder where all those billions of dollars were going in Ukraine? Did you ever wonder why anyone was trusting the elites in US politics like the Bidens with billions in funds going to Ukraine?
The article goes on to detail that Sam Blankman-Fried was seeking to grease the regulatory skids, and was, of course, a major donor to the Democrats:
Sam Blankman-Fried, prolific Democratic donor and ex-CEO of now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, funded the campaigns of members of Congress overseeing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), one of the key bodies tasked with regulating the crypto industry and the subject of Bankman-Fried’s aggressive lobbying.
Bankman-Fried’s FTX is currently under investigation by the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after Bankman-Fried allegedly moved $10 billion in client assets from his crypto exchange to his trading firm Alameda Research, and a liquidity crisis at his exchange which prompted the company to file for bankruptcy.
Then came the announcement that FTX was going to “help” the Ukraine set things up for donations in cryto-“currencies”:
Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman Fried has come forward to help a crypto donation project. He humbly announced that FTX will be supporting the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance and other communities in collecting crypto donations for the country. The Ukrainian government has received over $60 million in crypto donations from all over the world.
Then a tweet appeared on Twitter – and one wonders if it would have prior to Mr. Musk’s purchase of the company – alleging that the whole thing was an op to (surprise surprise) launder money:
If true, then the problem has become, well, “ginormous and gimungous” as the old radio talk show host Art Bell used to say, because it implicates that an entire political party is a component in a vast international money laundering scheme, with the money itself disappearing like Republican ballots in an Arizona, Nevada, or Pennsylvania election “count.”
As for FTX’s collapse, it should be noted that it managed to pull off something that not even Enron could do: there’s nothing – zero, zilch, nada – left, and even Enron could at least point to a few pennies, quarters, and dimes in change purses left in office desk drawers, a few worn out computers – something – to liquidate. But with FTX, zero, zilch, nada.
But consider the implication of the article, and sequi pecuniam:
- the misadministration of Bai Den Jo gets Congress to give billions of dollars in aid to the Ukraine. This effort, it should be noted, includes Republicans as well as Democrats. In other words, the “narrative” about Russia = Bad and The Ukraine = Good is a bipartisan orthodoxy;
- Once this money arrives in The Ukraine, its leaders and oligarchs take their “cut”, and then “invest” the remainder in FTX and Blankman-Fried’s crypto-“currency”, which is
- Then laundered back to the USA to Democrat donors, candidates, and given the context, one is permitted to speculate that perhaps some of this money was used to effect the results of the last “selection”.
Or to put it country simple, taxpayers dollars were laundered through a corrupt crypto-“currency” to line the pockets of the very same people using the colour of law to tax people, to launder the money, to line the pockets of the very same people who &c &c &c.
