CADMAN
PLAZA / UN GATE, March 8 -- In
the Jho Low trial in Brooklyn, there
were more details including about the
UAE and its Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Zayed al Nahyan. Flashed on the screen
in the overflow courtroom on the 6th
floor, then later uploaded to USAfx was
an email from Leissner to two others at
Goldman Sachs, Joseph Porter and Russell
Horwitz.
In
it, Leissner was pumping up his and the
UAE's partner in crime, writing that
"Jho is a very close personal friend of
the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi as well as
his brother Sheikh Mansour." It then ran
through Jho's deals with Mubadala, IPIC
and Aabar, including "real estate deals
in China" and a luxury brand purchase
that was left unnamed, apparently
because it involved high
end underwear.
What
hypocrites, Kurt thought. It was
drizzling but he decided to ride a
Citibike from the other side of Cadman
Plaza and up to the UAE mission, to film
a vlog if not get inside. As he biked
past Foley Square and up Centre Street
and Lafayette, past the Tombs condos and
Thai restaurants with ferns and palm
trees outside his mind flashed to images
of Kharkiv, blasted like Syria, now with
the spectre of chemical weapons being
floated.
Russia was pre-blaming the US,
and China joined them in that adding the
term "biological weapons," even as
France's Macron bragged that Xi had
praised French efforts. Really?
Meanwhile
UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al
Nahyan hadn't even taken Big Joe's call.
Oh but he or an underling would deign to
speak to little Big Tony, all of it
phony, how to keep the Malaysians' money
and pontificate about green energy.
Kurt
parked the Citibike on First Avenue and
44th Street, across the street from the
UN. Guards he still never by face
pointed him out and unlike when he was
first thrown out, he did not take the
bait. He turned his back on the UN so he
could film a stand-up. This was his new
weapon, such as it was.
Over on 46th Street there was
movement. The UAE mission staff were
taking a selfie about their great work
on "Women, Peace and Security" even as
the daughter of one of their royals was
locked up, covered up by the UN's (and
Ireland's) Mary Robinson, an Elder for
sale. Today's UN corrupts everything. The Weasels of Wall
Street.
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.
