EVERYTHING MR. EMORY HAS BEEN SAYING ABOUT THE UKRAINE WAR IS ENCAPSULATED IN THIS VIDEO FROM UKRAINE 24

COMMENT: Supplementing our last discussion, the Patreon talk on 4/15 analyzed a consideration of paramount importance.
The top intelligence officers whose activities shaped the political landscape of the 20th century and the foundations of political and economic reality of the 21st wore the dual hats of prominent corporate lawyers and executive-level spooks.
Mr. Emory neglected to mention a critical element of analysis presented in our overview of the evolution of the Azov manifestation—President Eisenhower’s appointment of John Foster Dulles and his brother and fellow Sullivan & Cromwell lawyer Allen as Secretary of State and CIA director, respectively.
This placed the transnational corporate interests at the operational epicenter of American and Western actions.
Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include: Allen Dulles’s early 1943 negotiations with the SS; the role of Hapsburg in-law Prince Max Egon von Hohenloe as go-between for Dulles and Walter Schellenberg (in charge of foreign intelligence for the SD—the SS intelligence service); Dulles’s treasonous betrayal of the Allied plans for the re-conquest of Europe to von Hohenloe/Schellenberg; Schellenberg’s postwar work as a key Gehlen operative; Schellenberg’s position as a director of ITT-the powerful transnational corporation one of whose subsidiaries was the Lorenz firm, which owned a controlling interest in the Focke-Wulf aircraft manufacturers (makers of some of the Luftwaffe’s top interceptor aircraft; CIA officer Frank Wisner’s role as director of the Office of Policy Coordination under the Foster/Allen Dulles stewardship; Wisner’s previous work for Carter, Ledyard and Milburn—another key Wall Street law firm that was the general counsel for the Dow Jones Corporation (the parent firm of the New York Stock Exchange); OSS chief William Donovan’s work as a leading Wall Street lawyer; Donovan’s 1923 “sympathetic” lunch with Adolf Hitler; Hitler’s post World War I work as an undercover agent for Reichswehr intelligence; Hitler’s speech to the Industry Club of Dusseldorf, through which he won over the crème of Germany’s economic elite to his cause; the Pentagon genesis of the Internet; the fascist equation of democracy with communism.
Fascism and the Dangers of Economic Concentration
Sullivan and Cromwell are involved with the FTX bankruptcy.
Founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is now under house arrest after his parents put up their home for bail, and his ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison has rolled on him and is cooperating. He was arrested one day before he was to testify in Congress.
His leaked testimony draft was revealed, yet the media was suspiciously quiet on WHAT was actually in the text, specifically when it came to a certain “white shoe Wall St. law firm”. Keep in mind, these are the ramblings of a likely meth freak and future prison inmate. I don’t trust anything from him, but I thought it was worth pointing out what he planned to say about Sullivan and Cromwell, especially considering how quiet the media was about it, even though they had endlessly covered so many other aspects of this crime.
The media has also not spent any further time looking into why FTX/Deltec would buy a tiny farmer bank that was owned for 25 years by a Hong Kong resident who comes up in the Panama Papers.
From Sam Bankman-Fried’s planned congressional testimony:
“Starting on November 8th, I was put under extreme pressure to file for Chapter 11.
1) Most of that pressure came from Ryne Miller, the General Counsel of FTX US and a
former partner at Sullivan & Cromwell (S&C), and Sullivan and Cromwell itself. 2) Sullivan &
Cromwell was one of the primary external law firms that represented FTX US as well as
FTX International at the time.
a) I have 19 pages of screenshots of Sullivan & Cromwell, Mr. Miller, and others I
believe were influenced by them, all sent over a two day period, pressuring me to
quickly file for Chapter 11. They range from adamant to mentally unbalanced.
They also called many of my friends, coworkers, and family members, pressuring
them to pressure me to file, some of whom were emotionally damaged by the
pressure. Some of them came to me, crying.
b) It was only later that I was informed that it was very unusual for such a significant
filing to be made so quickly.
3) Sullivan & Cromwell chose John Ray to run the Chapter 11 team
4) During the time I was being pressured to file, Sullivan & Cromwell lawyers told my
counsel that I would get to choose the board chair. Sullivan & Cromwell silently reneged
on that a few days later.
5) At roughly 4:30 am on November 10th, 2022, against my better judgment, I clicked on a
Docusign link that would nominate John Ray as the CEO of various entities. 6) Less than
10 minutes later I received a potential funding offer for billions of dollars to help make
customers whole.
7) A few minutes thereafter I instructed my counsel to rescind the document; it had become
clear to me that it was not the best way forward.
8) My counsel informed me a few minutes later that it was too late to rescind it, and that
Sullivan & Cromwell lawyers were submitting it on my behalf despite my instructions not
to.
9) Roughly 6 hours later—more than ample time to change course— Sullivan & Cromwell
filed the document with the court against my express wishes and stated orders. 10) After
that John Ray filed for Chapter 11 for all of the entities–including a fully solvent US entity,
FTX US, in which they shut down customer access and withdrawals–John Ray and his
team appointed, as legal counsel for the Chapter 11 team (debtors), Sullivan & Cromwell.
11) John Ray is famous primarily for his work for the Enron bankruptcy estate. a) Sullivan &
Cromwell recommended John Ray to manage the FTX bankruptcy; in the Enron
bankruptcy, law firms including Sullivan and Cromwell were paid roughly $700m (!!!)
in fees from funds that would otherwise have gone to creditors.

nerating-12789018.php)
12) So, to summarize, to the best of my knowledge: when Enron went through the Chapter
11 process, John Ray and S&C were both lawyers and/or administrators for the estate,
which paid out roughly $700m in legal fees. Then, when FTX crashed: an ex‑S&C partner
chose S&C to represent FTX. S&C pressured me to file Chapter 11 documents, and filed
the documents despite my instructions not to. S&C chose John Ray as the new CEO of
the Chapter 11 estate; John Ray then chose S&C to represent the Chapter 11 estate.
S&C reneged on an agreement to let me choose the board chair, and then John Ray
appointed the board.
13) In an official statement, The Bahamas Attorney General, Ryan Pinder, said “it is
possible that the prospect of multimillion-dollar legal and consultancy fees is driving both
[the Chapter 11 team’s] legal strategy and their intemperate statements”.

14) I will end this section with a screenshot of a message Mr. Miller sent to much of
FTX’s leadership at 10:23 pm on November 8th, 2022:

b) Needless to say, Sullivan & Cromwell has not made sure that we are allrepresented through this. They have, however, done a good job of making surethey were wired $4M.”
