SDNY /
FEDERAL RESERVE, March 7 -- The
dissection of Goldman Sachs in the Jho Low
trial, in this time of war, had cause Kurt
to do some fast research. What banks were
still doing business in Russia - and even
bragging about it?
The
answers came quick: Citibank. HSBC.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Kurt stopped
there for now, as he was preparing to
testify to the Federal Reserve, if only by
WebEx, about MUFG's proposed sell-out to US
Bancorp.
Online he
found a MUFG podcast, of all things, that
advised how to arbitrage the bloodshed. It
was like what UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres was doing, trying ot use a human
tragedy for others as a way to keep the
money flowing to himself, but it was done
out in the open and unlike at the UN, Kurt
was not banned. He decided to focus on it.
And
so it was a day of all things Federal
Reserve. In the morning an oral argument
before SDNY Judge Lewis Liman, in which
long time Fed staffers tried to avoid
getting fired for not being vaccinated
even as NYC Mayor Eric Adams that day
ended masking requirements everywhere but
the subways and for under five year olds
in schools.
The
Federal Reserve Bank of New York's lawyers
bragged that the New York Fed is not a
government agency and so no Constitutional
arguments, or rights, should be
considered. But if the Federal Reserve
Banks weren't government agency but
instead owned by the banks themselves, why
were they allowed to approve bank mergers,
like that of Berkshre Bank and its Needs
to Improve rating in New York under the
Community Reinvestment Act?
Kurt
added it into his testimony, after the
Russia Ukraine hypocrisy. He would have
only three minutes.
Hours
later Judge Liman held a final final
pre-trial conference in the case of Sarah
Lawrence College sex cultist Larry Ray,
who was present with his shaved head and
two Marshals. One of the arguments
involved him suffocating a young woman
with a plastic bag. What had been her
major?
The
tabloid would be covering the Ray case and
so, it seemed, should Kurt, alongside the
hearing on Ghislaine Maxwell's rogue juror
Scotty David. The US Attorney at the
eleventh hour gave old Scotty, name
redacted, immunity. Impunity like for the
UN, which gave Ghislaine Maxwell as press
conference. #MaximumMaxwell.
Roger
Ng's lawyers were still hammering away at
Tim Leissner - a faint echo of the bombing
of Kharkiv - and the UAE as UN Security
Council president was still refusing ot
answer about its role in ripping off the
Malaysia people for money some of which
the UN still kept, and of illegally
intervening in US democracy by paying Tom
Barrack. #TheWeaselsOfWallStreet.
They had become plural.
Kurt had first heard
of Jho Low while still in
the UN, before he was thrown
out. Jho Low appeared at a
UN press conference in front
of the ubiquitous and now
defiled logo.
