"These guys are the real criminals"

Whitney Webb on the the plot to destroy financial privacy.

It’s a truth crime that I haven’t dug more into the work of Whitney Webb. I absorb many great writers, but would have to cut out half of them to give Whitney the time she deserves, and myself a chance at understanding. She’s a deep-dive person who sees the connections of power better than anyone else.

Cancel culture didn’t like her speaking about the Wellcome Trust (which you should know about). I was gobsmacked when listening to her chatting for 3hrs about Jeffrey Epstein, the CIA and the White House. She expanded that into two volumes called ‘One Nation Under Blackmail - The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein’. That’s available as an audiobook.

I encourage you to visit her Unlimited Hangout podcast. Don’t be overwhelmed. Find one topic you care about, and listen intently. You’ll be hooked.

Her website is a wonderful minefield, and she has articles at Last American Vagabond.

This post is about the FBI and the WEF targeting bitcoin. I’ve included a text excerpt but a video of her full speech is below that.

Bitcoin and the Plot to Destroy Financial Privacy

"American federal agencies, institutions, and commercial banks are playing a major role in developing regulations that will inevitably target bitcoin. They have made it very clear in these policy documents, incubated by groups like the WEF, that they see financial privacy, the popularity of bitcoin and the value of bitcoin as direct threats responsible for what they define as ‘cybercrime’.

The big banks like HSBC can launder millions of dollars for drug cartels and nothing happens to them; no one goes to jail.

The CIA has laundered untold millions through criminal banks like BCCI, a bank which also ran its own sex trafficking operation involving prepubescent kids, and again nothing was done and no one went to jail.

FTX can launder aid money supposedly destined for Ukraine and then funnel it back as campaign contributions to the same political party developing crypto regulations, while painting bitcoin as a “national security threat”.

Sam Bankman-Fried was the only person arrested and right now, he’s not in prison; he’s sitting in a multi-million-dollar mansion in California about to get 10 of the 13 charges against him dismissed.

The current president’s son can launder as much money as he wants after leaving the evidence on a laptop he abandoned and still the intelligence community comes to his defense, falsely claiming the data on this laptop — now admitted to be his — was a ‘Russian hoax’.

These guys are the real criminals and if you think they care about stopping money laundering and cybercrime in any meaningful way, you have been had."
