WEF Already Purges FTX Partner Webpage, But Internet Archive Brings the Receipts By Lori Price, www.legitgov.org | 14 Nov 2022 | As reported by the Blaze on November 12, 2022, “The World Economic Forum (WEF) lists FTX as a partner, and provides a link to the exchange’s website.” The WEF was quick to delete the page. As of Monday, it couldn’t be found. But an Internet Archive screenshot from November 11 detailed the following summary: “FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange built by traders, for traders. FTX offers innovative products including industry-first derivatives, options, volatility products and leveraged tokens. It strives to develop a platform robust enough for professional trading firms and intuitive enough for first-time users.” The WEF also included a prominent mention to “Visit the FTX website.”
Collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX had ties to Ukrainian government, WEF, and top Biden adviser | 12 Nov 2022 | FTX had some eye-opening connections to powerful entities and individuals around the world before it all came crashing down… Reuters reported that between 1 billion and 2 billion in customer funds vanished from the FTX cryptocurrency exchange… The 30-year-old billionaire was able to gain access to a top Biden advisor weeks before he offered vast political donations to the Democrats. The Washington Free Beacon reported that Bankman-Fried met with top Biden adviser Steve Ricchetti on April 22 and May 12, according to White House visitor logs. Gabe Bankman-Fried — SBF’s brother who handles the billionaire’s political operations — visited the White House on March 7, according to the outlet. SBF largely funded the Democratic Protect Our Future PAC that only launched in May 2022. SBF’s brother said the PAC was formed to “stop [sic – create] the next pandemic.” …Curiously, the Ukrainian government launched a cryptocurrency donation website in March that was backed by FTX… The World Economic Forum (WEF) lists FTX as a partner, and provides a link to the exchange’s website.
Tens of Billions of U.S. Dollars Were Transferred to Ukraine, Then Using FTX Crypto Currency, the Funds Were Laundered Back to Democrats in U.S. | 12 Nov 2022 | Did you ever wonder where all those billions of doll-rs were going in Ukraine? We have information that the tens of billions of doll-rs going to Ukraine were actually laundered back to the US to corrupt Democrats and elites using FTX cryptocurrency. Now the m-ney is gone and FTX is bankrupt. As reported earlier, the FTX crypto company gave at least 40 million to Democratic candidates and causes in the midterms. Sam Bankman-Fried is Biden’s second biggest donor. In addition to this, Daily Caller lists many of the lawmakers who Sam Bankman-Fried was bankrolling who oversaw the institution that was supposed to keep on eye on companies like FTX… Bezos-owned Washington Post reported on March 3 that Ukraine was dealing in crypto.
Federal government throws away millions more COVID vaccines due to lack of demand –The number of expired Moderna shots has risen to 7.7 million and the government has also now disposed of 3.1 million doses of the Novavax vaccine | 11 Nov 2022 | The federal government is throwing away more COVID-19 vaccines, with nearly eight million doses of the Moderna vaccines discarded due to drying-up demand [for the clot shots] in Canada and around the world. The National Post reported in June that the government had thrown away 1.2 million doses of Moderna’s shot that had expired, along with 13.6 million doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine. The number of expired Moderna shots has now risen to 7.7 million and the government has also now disposed of 3.1 million doses of the Novavax vaccine. About 7,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine has been thrown away… Canada ordered tens of millions of doses from seven different manufacturers before any of the vaccines had cleared clinical trials, at a cost of more than 9 billion.
Doctors Fight Back Against Law That Punishes Them for Diverging from ‘Contemporary Scientific Consensus’ | 13 Nov 2022 | As The Free Thought Project has reported, Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, who has sponsored a slew of mandatory vaccine laws throughout his career, came out in 2019 to threaten the speech of those who question forced vaccination… With the passage of Assembly Bill 2098 in August, this tyrannical state senator has finally gotten his way and even doctors who question the safety of a product from a company with a known history of criminal behavior — will be punished by the state for doing so. The new law is set to go into effect on January 1 and doctors who disseminate information that diverges from the “contemporary scientific consensus” will face persecution. Now, some of them are fighting back. A group of doctors has filed a lawsuit against Governor Gavin Newsom’s tyrannical administration, asking the court to block the law from taking effect. The complaint argues that the new law “impedes their ability to communicate with their patients in the course of treatment.”
Captain Alan Dana: The Implications of the Experimental Injections on Air Travel | 9 Nov 2022 | Speaking at General Assembly Meeting #64 on Monday, November 7, Captain Alan Dana gave an eye-opening presentation on his firsthand experience as a pilot during the rollout of the experimental Covid-19 injections. Captain Dana is a highly experienced pilot who has always taken good care of his health. He holds British, US, and Australian professional Airline Transport Licences, including an FAA Accident Prevention Councillor designation. His total experience is over 35 years, now exceeding 23,000 flight hours. When his employer Qantas insisted he take a novel Covid-19 injection, Alan refused. Qantas fired him. Now, he and other flight crew are taking them to court.
Taliban Uses U.S. Military Equipment, IG Withholds Records of Afghan Security Forces Collapse | 8 Nov 2022 | The Taliban is training and operating with U.S. military equipment including rifles, trucks, and helmets with night vision mounts since the Biden regime withdrew American troops from Afghanistan last year. Taliban forces even held a military parade with dozens of U.S.-provided armored vehicles and Mi-17 helicopters flying overhead, according to a federal audit documenting the collapse of the American-funded Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF). For two decades, the U.S. government spent a mind-boggling 90 billion to [pretend to] help the ANDSF develop into a self-sustaining force capable of combatting terrorist groups like the Taliban. It never happened. When the Biden regime withdrew U.S. troops in August 2021 the ANDSF crumbled and the Taliban took over, generating images and videos of soldiers wearing U.S.-provided clothing and brandishing U.S.-provided rifles. “Taliban units now patrol in pickup trucks and armored vehicles likely procured by the U.S. and provided to the ANDSF” reads the report published by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), which was created by Congress to provide independent and objective oversight of Afghanistan reconstruction projects and activities.
Insane in the membrane: U.S. sending $400 million in weapons to Ukraine –Pentagon package includes ammunition, missiles and vehicles to Kiev | 10 Nov 2022 | The latest batch of U.S. military aid to Ukraine consists mainly of artillery ammunition and short-range air defense missiles, the Pentagon revealed on Thursday. Washington says the new weapons will help Kiev counter Russian drone strikes against critical infrastructure. The Ukrainian military will get 21,000 155mm artillery rounds, as well as 500 of the precision-guided Excalibur shells, and 10,000 rounds for the heavy 120mm mortars, in addition to an unspecified quantity of ammunition for the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), the Pentagon said. The U.S. has also pledged four Avenger air defense vehicles, which are basically Humvees equipped with four launchers for Stinger man-portable missiles.
Another Ukrainian soldier spotted with Nazi insignia –Earlier, a man with an SS-style patch was present among President Vladimir Zelensky’s security detail | 12 Nov 2022 | Footage of a Ukrainian soldier, wearing an insignia of a notorious SS brigade, emerged online this week, as the Kiev forces moved towards the city of Kherson following withdrawal of the Russian troops. The videos, presumably posted online by the soldier himself, show the Ukrainian fighter sporting on his helmet the patch with two crossed stick hand grenades – the emblem of Dirlewanger Brigade, known for mass murder of civilians and other war crimes committed during World War II. The display of insignia, popular among neo-Nazis, has met a mixed reaction online, with even some of those who support Ukraine in the ongoing conflict condemning the soldier’s choice, given the especially brutal record of the SS brigade.
Kherson remains part of Russia – Kremlin | 11 Nov 2022 | The withdrawal of Russian forces from Kherson doesn’t effect the legal status of the region, Moscow insisted on Friday, as it was officially incorporated into Russia last month after a public referendum. Speaking to journalists, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated, “Kherson Region remains part of the Russian Federation, and this status is legally fixed and defined, and there can be no changes to this status.” His comments come after the Defense Ministry announced that Russian forces had completed their redeployment to the left bank of the Dnieper River on Friday without suffering any loss of personnel, weapons, or vehicles. The ministry also noted that all residents who wished to leave were also provided with assistance and safely made it across the river despite attempts by Kiev’s forces to disrupt the movement of civilians with artillery fire.
Istanbul: Six dead, dozens wounded in Turkey explosion | 13 Nov 2022 | At least six people have been killed and 81 wounded in an explosion in a busy area of central Istanbul, Turkish authorities have said. The blast happened at about 16:20 local time (13:20 GMT) on a shopping street in the Taksim Square area, the Turkish city’s governor Ali Yerlikaya said. Vice President Fuat Oktay said the blast was thought to be a terrorist attack carried out by a woman. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the perpetrators would be punished.
Republicans Won 6 Million More Votes Than Democrats in House Races, But Gained Relatively Few Seats | 10 Nov 2022 | Republicans have won nearly six million more votes nationwide in races for the House of Representatives, but have flipped relatively few seats, suggesting talk of a “red wave” may have anticipated the overall mood of the country but not the final result of the election. According to the Cook Political Report, as of Thursday morning, November 10, Republicans have won 50,113,534 votes, or 52.3% of the vote, compared to 44,251,768, or 46.2% of the vote. Republicans lead by 6.1%, which is better than their average in “generic congressional ballot” polls, in which the party led by 2.5% in the final RealClearPolitics average before the election. But Republicans have only managed to flip nine seats thus far — likely enough to control the House, but far short of a “wave” result many anticipated.
This Is How Democracy Dies: Cameras Go Dark for 8 Hours in Washoe County, Nevada | 11 Nov 2022 | Republican Adam Laxalt is currently leading unpopular Democrat Catherine Cortez 49% to 48% in Nevada’s U.S. Senate race. Laxalt earlier on Thursday announced that his opponent had no path to victory. But then this happened… Anthony Scott reported earlier on the cameras going dark in Washoe County. As of right now, only 90% of the vote is in and counties all across the state are still counting ballots. In order to have some kind of “transparency,” many of these counties have been live-streaming ballot counting. One of those counties counting ballots while live streaming is Washoe County. However, “transparency” went out the window because at 11:24 PM Washoe County’s live stream went offline which led to viewers staring at black screens.
The Cause of Arizona’s Machine Tabulator Failure Identified – Ballots Larger Than Printer Parameters | 13 Nov 2022 | The cause of Arizona’s massive 30% machine tabulator failure is identified. This action disproportionately affected Republicans and assured delays in counting. Technical expert Dan Sundin has homed in on the likely cause of why 30% of the tabulators in Arizona could not process the majority of Republican ballots on Election Day. The sample ballot .pdfs published by Maricopa County and the Runbeck-printed ballots used for mail-in voting were correctly made to 20-inch length in the 2022 general. So there have been no problems processing Democratic-leaning, mail-in ballots. However, the ballot-on-demand printers used for in-person voting only have 19-inch trays that contain 19-inch ballot paper. This means, for in-person voting, the official ballot image had to be compressed to fit on smaller paper for which it was built. Compression causes the ink to be a little lighter than it should be and thus affects how the tabulators read the ballot.
The Gateway Pundit Catches Late-Night Operatives Moving Vanloads of Suspicious Ballots After Legal Deadline in Detroit, Michigan | 9 Nov 2022 | Michigan polls closed at 8:00 p.m. EST yesterday, Election Day 2022. …Nothing was done in response to the 2020 voter fraud well-documented by outlets like the Gateway Pundit. In fact, the Republicans in Michigan even made it easier to cheat by allowing clerks two extra days to “process” ballots, giving potential bad actor clerks more time to cheat. This is in addition to the widespread observations of major problems with voting machines… The Gateway Pundit has exclusive video and photographic evidence that the City of Detroit in Michigan was collecting thousands of ballots significantly after the legal deadline in 2022. This video is from the Detroit Department of Elections at 2978 West Grand. Ballots are processed there, entering and exiting through the garage in the alley behind the building. We can exclusively report that the City of Detroit was handling and beginning to process a significant number of ballots at 11:30 PM on election night. We can exclusively report that the City of Detroit was handling and beginning to process more ballots at 1:22 AM on election night.
Maggie Hassan Wins 1,100 Votes From Town With Population Under 700 | 13 Nov 2022 | Maggie Hassan had an amazing night on Tuesday. The unpopular Democratic senator routed her Republican opponent. She had such a good night that she won 1,100 votes in a community with a population under 700. Granite Glok reported: We’ve got something for you if you’re looking for irregularities in your local elections. Columbia, New Hampshire. It’s way up north. A tiny little town that, according to the 2020 US Census, had 695 residents. But according to the Secretary of State, Maggie Hassan received 1,106 votes from the same town. Don Bolduc had 193 votes. The State Website reports Columbia, NH, had 735 residents in 2019. Wikipedia cites a decline based on the 2020 census to 695. Local officials are now calling this a “glitch” and they corrected it locally. But the number is still being reported in the totals.
U.S. Rep Lauren Boebert Pulls Ahead After Multiple Suspicious Ballot Drops for Her Dem Opponent | 10 Nov 2022 | U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has retaken the lead in her 2022 midterm race. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is now ahead in her race for Congress. She leads her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch, by more than 300 votes with 96% of the votes counted. There is no information on why the corrupt election actors in Colorado have not completed her election counting. The Gateway Pundit reported this morning that there were mysterious data dumps in her race all for her opponent that put her opponent in the lead.
Trump alleges election fraud in Arizona | 12 Nov 2022 | Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that Republican candidate Blake Masters lost his bid for the Senate due to “voter fraud” in Arizona. Masters was preliminarily declared to have lost to Democrat Mark Kelly on Friday, after an election marred by malfunctioning machines and slow counting of votes. “They’re at it again,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Voting machines in large numbers didn’t work, but only in Republican districts. People were forced to wait in line for hours, then got exhausted…and left the voting lines by the thousands. This is a scam and voter fraud, no different from stuffing the ballot boxes,” he continued, referencing his own allegations that pro-Democratic poll workers engaged in ballot harvesting to deliver Arizona to Joe Biden in 2020. “They stole the electron (sic) from Blake Masters,” he concluded, demanding that officials in the state “do election over again!
Senate GOP won’t move leadership elections despite calls for delay –Sens. Cruz, Rubio and others said a delay is needed, but those calls are being ignored so far | 11 Nov 2022 | Senate Republicans won’t delay their leadership elections set for next week despite a growing number of calls from conservative senators who want a postponement and are growing frustrated with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other leaders. “It makes no sense for Senate to have leadership elections before GA runoff,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tweeted Friday. “We don’t yet know whether we’ll have a majority & Herschel Walker deserves a say in our leadership. Critically, we need to hear a specific plan for the next 2 yrs from any candidate for leadership.” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also tweeted Friday that the leadership vote “should be postponed.” Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., tweeted in support of Rubio’s proposition. So did Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who has vocally opposed bringing McConnell back as the top Senate Republican. But a Senate GOP aide confirmed to Fox News Digital that elections will go on as planned.
Biden’s student loan handout struck down by federal judge in Texas –The Job Creators Network Foundation brought the lawsuit| 10 Nov 2022 | A federal judge in Texas struck down Joe Biden’s handout in a Thursday night ruling… “Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine. Still, no one can plausibly deny that it is either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch, or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States,” United States District Judge Mark Pittman wrote.
Nevada voters approve constitutional amendment enshrining sexual orientation, gender identity | 12 Nov 2022 | By a margin of 57.1 percent to 42.9 percent, Nevada voters passed Nevada Question 1, which constitutionally enshrines sexual orientation and gender identity as specially protected classes that cannot be criticized or otherwise discriminated against. Question 1 was branded by proponents as “an equal rights amendment” that simply aims to protect all people, no matter who they are, from unfair discrimination (which is already covered by the Constitution). Hiding in the details, however, is a sinister plot to make transgenderism and everything that comes along with it, including child grooming, a constitutional right. As far as we know, Nevada is the first state in the country to pass a constitutional amendment like this.

VT Chronicle PLEASE do not let go this story on FTX money laundering through Ukraine to the Democratic party war chest and our local politicians. Sounds like a bit like election influencing by a foreign government to me —but what do I know?
Interesting how VT Digger has moved on about Rebecca and Peter donating their $2900 to charity. Very transparent and generous on their part…. Really?… how about the $1,100,000.00 her campaign went silent on?????
You are doing a great job following up on this and following the money and the time line of event . know Rebecca and Peter will thank you. In case they don’t through some lapse, I do.
check out the link below

CYA:
“Becca Balint and Peter Welch to donate contributions from crypto exec Sam Bankman-Fried to charity”
https://vtdigger.org/2022/11/15/becca-balint-to-donate-2900-contribution-from-crypto-exec-sam-bankman-fried-to-charity/
Yes, but only the $2900 payments from Bankman-Fried directly. Not the 1.1 million, for example, from FTX’s Nishad Singh to Balint, via PAC and “indirect expenditures.” (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more!)
They are simply trying to virtue signal to their base, whom they consider to be fools.
Where is the outrage? Countless ordinary investors lost all they had invested with FTX which blatantly used their funds to enrich the Democratic Party. And it now appears that there’s a good possibility that we the taxpayers, who were forced to send large sums to Ukraine have had this money laundered by FTX and sent to the Democrats as well!
And Balint and Welch just didn’t know of course and are shocked and horrified. They’ve sent the piddly individual campaign contributions by Bankman-Fried to “a charity “; hate to consider which ones. What about the huge sums your campaigns benefited from? That enabled all the ads, mailings, signs etc?
And the GOP is doing what? Where is the outrage? Don’t you understand that you are letting them get away with fraud again and again, in elections, fundraising and more. You will never get this country back if you don’t make it clear that enough is enough.
Please – whatever meager outrage there is, is here on VDC and TNR. Peter Welch has been shown to be a crony from way back. His ill-gotten investment gains, that his wife, Margaret Cheney, makes Vermont energy policy favoring so-called ‘green’ solar, etc., is well known to those of us who care to pay attention to, and document, their cronyism. But the problem doesn’t rest with Welch and Cheney and Balint and the countless other progressive cronies in Vermont politics. They cheat and deceive because they can…. because the vast majority of Vermonters (Republican and Democrat) don’t want to rock their own boat.
Forty percent of Vermont’s workforce is employed in the heavily tax-subsidized, government, healthcare, and education sectors. Vermont has the largest number of biased non-profit organizations representing these special interests (like VPRIG and VT Digger) per capita in the country.
This workforce enjoys some of the only ‘guaranteed benefit’ retirement packages in existence. While everyone else funds their own 401-Ks and IRAs or have ‘guaranteed contribution’ plans that they are responsible for investing, the elites have their benefits guaranteed. Why else would they not care that FTX went bankrupt? Their retirement benefits are guaranteed by Vermont taxpayers despite the devaluation of their retirement accounts.
These folks represent an insurmountable voting block – now veto proof.
How many times does someone have to point this out before we figure out that we, the so-called middle-class Patriots, have the problem. We can’t figure out how to stop the shake-down. And we’re slowly but surely being replaced with international trade deals, new immigrants willing to work for less, while the others thrive in their administrative state.
We have a ‘Tale of Two Cities’. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, …”, etc., etc. In the final analysis, complaining does nothing. Unless you have an idea of how to save yourself, and you’re willing to share it, put your complaint on the pile with the few others … and take what you get until these cronies finally, ultimately, go bankrupt themselves.
“I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, I see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out…”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
When are we going to do a forensic audit of this election? So much corruption in out state.
Since Vermont switched to Dominion machines (for ease in dumping in the extra votes for Dems), a forensic audit should be called for the whole state. They are only kidding the sleepers without a clue by using these machines.
Time to take back our state people.
Vermont is so corrupted by these deep staters We need to take a stand and stop what is happening. I will never forget what Welch did with his and Bernies and Scott’s involvement in the EB5 scandal as well. Main Street Newport still has a gaping hole where businesses and housing used to be. Thank God that was stopped before it got any worse. But although the perpetrators were caught, nothing happened to our illustrious government officials that were involved. Time we clean house and get new blood in there instead of allowing these villains to further destroy our once beautiful state. We are at the precipice of communism and this is the end of freedom as we knew it. We knew they would steal the election again. Now it’s our turn to stop them Every state was stolen. Every state needs to fight back. God help us!
This needs to be kept front and center, the FTX scandal is huge. I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoJpiVMVl9M, Dr. Chris Martinson explains some of it and helped me understand the deep connections. Becca and Peter are cogs in the corruption wheel, and probably more of the politicians have their fingers in the pie.
The VT public is incredibly stupid. They really don’t want to know. I’m sure they’re all convinced that lovely Becca and Peter donated the money that the bad guy sent them and their hands are now clean; end of story.That’s what VT Digger and WCAX is telling them.
Yes this is a very welcome compendium…Very Good, and as other’s have said
Keep it up!…Why?…Because we are in a crisis of immense proportions and this money laundering into campaigns shows ill will against Vermonters and civilization at stake.
