FTX pledges to “turn bitcoin into bullets, bandages and other war materiel” for Ukraine

FTX partnership with Ukraine is latest chapter in shady Western aid saga

Massive customer holdings have apparently gone missing thanks to a secret “back door” in the FTX bookkeeping system that allowed Bankman-Fried to make changes to the company’s financial records without any accountability. This connivance may have been used to hide at least $10 billion in client funds Bankman-Fried transferred from exchange to another company he founded, digital asset trader Alameda Research. 
…

Super PAC called Mind the Gap which quietly channeled millions to Democratic party candidates, primarily from nameless Silicon Valley investors. 
…
Throughout the 2020 campaign, Bankman-Fried gifted over $5 million to Biden and groups supporting him.
…
In 2022 alone, Bankman-Fried lavished almost $40 million on Democratic candidates, campaigns, and PACs.
…
More recently, Bankman-Fried pledged to donate a staggering $1 billion between this year and 2024 to ensure a Democratic victory in the next presidential vote

Bill Gates’ Corruption of Media

Journalism’s Gates keepers

During the pandemic, news outlets have widely looked to Bill Gates as a public health expert on covid—even though Gates has no medical training and is not a public official. PolitiFact and USA Today (run by the Poynter Institute and Gannett, respectively—both of which have received funds from the Gates Foundation) have even used their fact-checking platforms to defend Gates from “false conspiracy theories” and “misinformation,” like the idea that the foundation has financial investments in companies developing covid vaccines and therapies. In fact, the foundation’s website and most recent tax forms clearly show investments in such companies, including Gilead and CureVax.

In the same way that the news media has given Gates an outsize voice in the pandemic, the foundation has long used its charitable giving to shape the public discourse on everything from global health to education to agriculture—a level of influence that has landed Bill Gates on Forbes’s list of the most powerful people in the world. The Gates Foundation can point to important charitable accomplishments over the past two decades—like helping drive down polio and putting new funds into fighting malaria—but even these efforts have drawn expert detractors who say that Gates may actually be introducing harm, or distracting us from more important, lifesaving public health projects.

RECORD FINES OVER FOREIGN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS

 

In a four-part investigation published in August 2016, Intercept reporters Lee Fang and Jon Schwarz uncovered evidence proving for the first time that foreign money was being funneled into U.S. elections after the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United. They found that a Chinese citizen directed the U.S. corporation he controlled to donate $1.3 million to a super PAC supporting Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign.
