Yet Another Jew (or Two) in the Stew
In this case it's Samuel Bankman-Fried, whose bankrupted crypo-scam op FTX has put him in the spotlight - which as always is filtered light, of course - and Renee DiResta, just for old times' sake
This morning while surfing the web I ran into the latest Kim Iversen youtube video titled FTX Secret Ties To Democrats and Ukraine IGNORED And CENSORED, and decided to give it a listen because of the combination of “Democrats”, “Ukraine” and “censorship”, all favorite topics of mine these days; it’s about the cryptocurrency exchange FTX’s collapse and all the extraneous fallout from that. Kim interviewed Kit Klarenberg of Grayzone about an article her wrote about ten days ago on the matter, and in her intro she talked about FTX’s principal Sam Bankman-Fried (who I instantly assumed was Jewish from the name), then said he was the second-largest donor to the Democrats in this year’s election, after notorious Jewish oligarch George Soros, and that billions of dollars have gone missing. Then she connected FTX to contributions having been made to Ukraine, including financial skimming, and I was hooked.
Do you think this money-sucking scumbag is Jewish?
Just to establish who the main player in all of this is, let’s hit his wiki:
“Samuel Bankman-Fried (born March 6, 1992), also known by his initials SBF, is an American entrepreneur, investor and founder and former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, FTX.US and quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm Alameda Research. FTX experienced a crisis in late 2022, which led to a collapse in FTX's native cryptocurrency, FTT. Amid the crisis, Bankman-Fried announced he would wind down operations at Alameda Research and resigned as CEO of FTX, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Bankman-Fried's net worth peaked at $26 billion. In October 2022, he had an estimated net worth of $10.5 billion. However, on November 8, 2022, amid FTX's solvency crisis, his net worth was estimated to have dropped 94% in a day to $991.5 million, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the largest one-day drop in the index's history. By November 11, 2022, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index considered Bankman-Fried to have no material wealth.
“Before Bankman-Fried's wealth eroded in November 2022, Bankman-Fried was a major donor to Democratic Party candidates. He was the second-largest individual donor to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, personally donating $5.2 million, and he donated $40 million, mostly to Democratic candidates, during the 2022 U.S. midterm elections. Bankman-Fried was born in 1992 on the campus of Stanford University into a Jewish family. He is the son of Barbara Fried and Joseph Bankman, both professors at Stanford Law School. His aunt Linda P. Fried is the current dean of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. His brother, Gabriel Bankman-Fried, is a former Wall Street trader and the director of the non-profit Guarding Against Pandemics.”
Okay, plenty there to chew on. More on his political donating:
“Prior to 2020, Bankman-Fried was not involved with campaign finance, except a $1,000 contribution in 2010 to Michael Bennet when Bankman-Fried was eighteen years old. In the 2020 US election cycle, he contributed $5.2 million to two super PACs that supported the Biden campaign. He was the second-largest individual donor to Joe Biden in the 2020 election cycle, second to only Michael Bloomberg. Contributions for June 2021 through February 2022 went to members of both parties. They included direct donations to the Republican campaigns of senators Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Ben Sasse of Nebraska. Journalist Matthew Kassel notes that he has often donated to politicians who cultivate good Israel–US relations, but concluded: ‘it is unclear if his backing of pro-Israel candidates was coincidental or motivated by any personal interest in Middle East policy’… Bankman-Fried was the second-largest individual donor to Democratic causes in the 2021–2022 election cycle, with total donations of $39.8 million, only behind George Soros… Contributions for the year 2022 went to members of both parties, with $35,872,000 donated to liberals (99.6%) and $155,000 to conservatives (0.4%).”
The bulk of this section of his wiki focuses on the ethnically-cleansed financial influence aspects of his donations, but this part establishes his bona fides as a Jewish activist; note that Bennett is Jewish with Holocaust survivor grandparents from the Warsaw ghetto and his father and grandfather were heavily involved in Democratic DC politics, and of course Bloomberg and Soros are Jews (for a point of relativity, Zionist Jew Shelly Adelson contributed $130-135M to the GOP in the 2018 midterm election, the largest off-cycle number I’ve seen to date).
Iversen’s intro cites the GZ article, titled FTX partnership with Ukraine is latest chapter in shady Western aid saga, and then say the article was censored and banned by Instagram “owned by fake liberal Mark Zuckerberg” - is “fake liberal” a new leftist euphemism for Jewish leftist, kind of like “fake Jew” (Khazarian) is a euphemism for Ashkenazi Jew on the woke extreme right? She asks Klarenberg about that and he says, “Well, I kind of half-jokingly said ‘I’d like to thank the CIA in turn, who wrote that fact-check for confirming that the story is 100% true’.”
Later he says, “It’s [Aid for Ukraine] received millions and millions and millions of dollars, and where is this money going? Because apparently it’s not being used by Aid for Ukraine. Is it being embezzled? Is it being used for black operations off books? We don’t know, these are very obvious questions to answer”, again implying CIA/intelligence involvement, evidence-freely.
And even later, when he’s talking about the financial shell game within FTX and its shell company subsidiaries and speculating on money-laundering, tax evasion and embezzlement, he says, “Were there other purposes there? The CIA is well-know for using shell companies to mask its operations.”
So, yeah, the spin away from the real matter at issue here and toward the traditional waspy villain the CIA, again completely speculatively. Btw, I did check to see if Klarenberg (who is British) is Jewish, like so many at GZ, but I didn’t see anything either way. He does seem to be a Palestein solidarity activist and a critic of Israel in that regard, which is par for the course at GZ.
Then he gets to what makes his reporting different from what the MSM apparently is doing, which from his article is this: “While mainstream media poured over the details of Bankman-Fried’s gargantuan crypto scam, not one single major outlet has investigated or even acknowledged FTX’s relationship with the government of Ukraine… Under its auspices, FTX pledged to ‘convert crypto contributions to Ukraine’s war effort into fiat for deposit’ at the National Bank of Kiev, allowing the embattled government to ‘turn bitcoin into bullets, bandages and other war materiel’.”
So this is not aid to suffering Ukrainians, this is aid to the proxywarriors and would no doubt result in even more death and misery, assuming it ever got to its claimed destination.
He also gets into the political donations in the article:
“Throughout the 2020 campaign, Bankman-Fried gifted over $5 million to Biden and groups supporting him. This reportedly helped fuel a potentially decisive ‘nine-figure, eleventh-hour blitz of TV advertising’ targeting swing states, and made the crypto bro the second-largest donor to the president, right behind Michael Bloomberg. Bankman-Fried claimed this wellspring of generosity was ‘motivated less by specific issues than by the Biden team’s ‘generic stability and decision-making process.’‘ Such an apparent lack of enthusiasm for the President stands at odds with the staggering sums he has pumped into Democratic party coffers ever since. In 2022 alone, Bankman-Fried lavished almost $40 million on Democratic candidates, campaigns, and PACs. The giving spree made him the second-largest individual donor to Democratic causes, behind liberal venture capitalist George Soros.”
So again we have the Jewish Bankman associated with fellow billionaire Jewish bankmen Bloomberg and Soros. And there is no speculation as to what is meant by “the Biden team’s ‘generic stability and decision-making process’.” What we do know is that they placed Jews in so many critical positions in the administration - the top three in the State Dept, the National Security Advisor, the Director of National Intelligence, the Sec of the Treasury, the Attorney General, the head of Homeland Security, Biden’s own Chief of Staff, even the sub-cabinet tranny in HHS is a Jew(ess?). It’s a f@cking Jewfest at Joe’s place.
And I think we know the main reason why, or ought to:
He ends the article recycling old Biden-Ukraine scandal stuff that walked the line between MSM unacceptability and 2nd-level deceptive alternative/independent left media unacceptability, the “Biden crime family” stuff on the alternative right:
“When it comes to Ukraine, Democrats at the highest levels are also immensely skilled at burying embarrassing stories. In December 2015, Joe Biden coerced Kiev’s then-leader Petro Poroshenko into firing prosecutor general Viktor Shokin as a condition for the US underwriting a $1 billion IMF loan to Ukraine. ‘I’m going to be leaving here in six hours. If [Shokin] is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’ Biden threatened. With Shokin’s firing, the experienced lawyer’s ongoing probe into the energy giant Burisma ended as well. Which meant that Burisma’s most famous board member, Hunter Biden, the son of then-US Vice President Joe Biden, eluded official scrutiny. Now, a politically connected crypto-billionaire who used a secret financial ‘back door’ to fleece customers of ungodly sums of money has become the latest character in the saga of shady US aid to Ukraine. And though the collapse of his FTX firm is front page news, mainstream outlets are studiously avoiding the Ukraine angle.”
Of course - this is just a piece of the latest stage of the psychwar domestic operation tied to the neocon ethno-mission against New Hitler Putin and hated mother Russia, and it’s been bullshit since it started two decades ago, after Putin pushed back hard against the Jewish oligarch takeover of the country. The MSM can or will no more make sense of this than they could JFK/Dallas and 9/11, which as I explained in my last piece is a fundamental characteristic of deep events, meaning operations driven by the deep state.
But the alternative independent media is really no different, and especially on the left, which is completely Judaized, the core of the matter I addressed in my article on today’s worthless left. In the discussion with Iversen, twice Klarenberg raises the possibility that Bankman-Fried was a frontman or fall guy in this, again just speculation, and Iversen wildly speculates that this was an attack on cryptocurrency itself, by a government or governments (showing her libertarian side). They are groping in the dark for an answer, any answer, to what is happening here, because they can’t/won’t address the mother-of-all-elephants in the room.
One thing not gotten into in the article or the interview is something Iversen hinted about at one point, when she was talking about the MSM treatment of isolating this to just SBF, and added, “or his girlfriend too, right?” and laughs, and Klarenberg says, “Oh, God, I don’t want to think about it!” But in fact that is part of the story - here, from the wiki on this firm:
“Alameda Research is a quantitative trading firm, co-founded in September 2017 by Sam Bankman-Fried and Tara MacAulay. In November 2022, FTX, Bankman-Fried's cryptocurrency exchange, experienced a solvency crisis, and both FTX and Alameda filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That same month, anonymous sources told The Wall Street Journal that FTX had lent more than half of its customer funds to Alameda, a decision that the sources said Bankman-Fried described as a poor judgment call. This was explicitly forbidden by FTX's terms-of-service. On 12 November 2022, The Wall Street Journal reported that anonymous sources had said that Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison said that she, Bankman-Fried and other senior FTX officials were aware of that decision.”
The CEO’s name is hotlinked:
“Caroline Ellison (born 1994) is an American business executive. She was the CEO of Alameda Research, a quantitative trading firm founded by Sam Bankman-Fried. According to an anonymous source cited by the Wall Street Journal in November 2022, Alameda Research owed $10 billion to cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The source said FTX had lent the trading firm money from customer funds at FTX. Ellison was terminated from her position after FTX and Alameda filed for bankruptcy. Ellison is the daughter of Glenn Ellison, the Gregory K. Palm (1970) Professor of Economics at MIT, who coached her math team when she was a middle schooler, and Sara Fisher Ellison, also an economist at MIT. Ellison graduated from Stanford University in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. After graduation, Ellison worked for the quantitative trading firm Jane Street where she met Sam Bankman-Fried. Ellison spent 19 months as a junior trader at Jane Street. She then moved to Alameda Research in March 2018.”
Then later this: “According to former employees of FTX and Alameda, Ellison was romantically involved with co-worker Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX”, which is echoed in his wiki. [I won’t get into the salacious 10-person orgy pit in the Bahamas here - just distraction.]
So there is a Stanford aspect to all these people, but also this Jane Street angle between these two. When I read that firm’s name the first thought I had was of someone from my exploratory past on this broader subject, who also is connected to Stanford:
DiResta is someone who I became aware of in January 2019 when she appeared on Sam Harris’ podcast as part of his Russiagate-related Jewish Trumpsanity. Here is part of the podcast summary:
“Sam Harris speaks with Renée DiResta about Russia’s ‘Internet Research Agency’ and its efforts to amplify conspiracy thinking and partisan conflict in the United States. Renée DiResta is the Director of Research at New Knowledge and Head of Policy at the nonprofit organization Data for Democracy where she investigates the spread of malignant narratives across social networks. She regularly writes and speaks about the role that tech platforms and curatorial algorithms play in the proliferation of disinformation and conspiracy theories.”
And from her wiki: “Renée DiResta is a writer and research manager at Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO). DiResta has written about pseudoscience, conspiracies, terrorism, and state-sponsored information warfare. She has also served as in advisor to the U.S. Congress on ongoing efforts to prevent online and social media disinformation. Renée DiResta is the current technical research manager for the Stanford Internet Observatory. Formerly, she served as the Director of Research at Yonder (formerly named New Knowledge) and a founder member of Haven, a logistics company. DiResta also appeared in the documentary The Social Dilemma and is a contributor at Wired and The Atlantic. Renée DiResta has appeared on the podcast The Joe-Rogan Experience. In 2015, Renée DiResta co-founded Vaccinate California, an organization designed to promote vaccination in California. DiResta is a proponent of vaccination and has advised the California State Senate on matters of vaccination misinformation.”
Her basic story presented was that she got involved in combating anti-vaxx lunacy on the internet in California as a concerned mother, and then was recruited by New Knowledge because of her developed expertise on that to look into Russia manipulation/misinformation on the web. Her wiki gets into that:
“During her ongoing tenure at the Stanford Internet Observatory, DiResta led investigations into the Russian Internet Research Agency’'s efforts to manipulate United States society and the GRU's efforts to influence the U.S. 2016 Presidential Election. This included a report to the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), detailing the means by which the GRU used social media to influence the election and how social media poses on ongoing risk to US politics. This report further stated that Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet's algorithms were intentionally manipulated in a multi-year effort by the Internet Research Agency, directed by the Russian government, and had successfully created false personas that spread misinformation to an estimated hundreds of thousands of Americans. The identified purpose of this effort was to ‘deepen political divisions’.”
The only problem here is that in December 2018 New Knowledge got busted by the NY Times, a couple weeks before her Harris appearance. I’m paywalled out of NYT right now - here is a link if you’re not: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/alabama-senate-roy-jones-russia.html - but Glenn Greenwald at the Intercept (then) wrote an article about NK a month after that podcast:
“NBC News published a predictably viral story Friday, claiming that ‘experts who track websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.’ But the whole story was a sham: The only ‘expert’ cited by NBC in support of its key claim was the firm New Knowledge, which just got caught by the New York Times fabricating Russian troll accounts on behalf of the Democratic Party in the Alabama Senate race to manufacture false accusations that the Kremlin was interfering in that election.”
Now, DiResta wasn’t just some grunt at NK, she was their Director of Research, and was at the heart of this sham. But neither she nor her co-ethnic Harris said anything about the NY Times outing during that podcast, and instead this Jewess c@nt just spewed her lies about Russian disinformation unfiltered and unchallenged. To make this sham worse, several weeks later Harris appeared on fellow Intellectual Dark Webber Joe Rogan’s podcast, and a few weeks after that there was Renee on his podcast (I wonder who suggested that?) doing exactly the same thing, with stoner goy Rogan apparently unaware of what was being done to him and his massive audience. And that was after Greenwald’s Intercept piece as well. [See the linked video at the end of this article, with Joe referencing the Harris appearance and Renee skimming the history of her involvement.] I am not aware of either Harris or Rogan coming clean to their audiences since then on what they and she had done.
Here is the beginning of another piece (from Canada Free Press, by the Israel-born Horowitzian New York Jew Daniel Greenfield):
“When the Democrats and the media wanted to prove that Russian trolls were everywhere, and supporting Republicans, they turned to Jonathon Morgan and Renee DiResta. Every time there was a story on Russian election interference, Morgan would show up on CNN or NBC. And his message was the same, the Russian bots were everywhere and they were a major threat. Morgan and DiResta soon had a company name, New Knowledge, and were brought on board by the Senate Intelligence Committee to produce a report on Russian influence operations in the 2016 election. Despite the fact that a second report found that most of the Russian trolling efforts had been directed at African-Americans, the New Knowledge report claimed that this was a Russian conspiracy to aid Trump. Morgan and DiResta had originally been part of Obama’s futile effort to fight ISIS on social media, before discovering a much more lucrative field. ISIS was losing on the battlefield and the Democrats were losing elections. The Hillary campaign had hatched a conspiracy theory blaming its loss on Russian trolls. And Morgan and DiResta soon became the experts providing the data linking Republicans to Russian trolls.”
Another article that gets into her NK Alabama scam from earlier this year on revolver that starts with the Musk/Twitter business about free speech and censorship includes this at the beginning:
“Like the now disgraced and jobless Nina Jankowicz, DiResta is a career-girl of the Disinformation Industry — a constellation of NATO and US State Department-funded NGOs and civil society groups that censor inconvenient truths, facts and narratives under the guise of protecting the public from so-called ‘disinformation.’ And like Nina Jankowicz, it turns out that DiResta’s name is closely associated with one of the most explosive and aggressively covered-up influence operations of the century.”
The article focuses on that “disinformation industry”, particularly related to color revolutions, and even though the article discusses numerous Jews and Jewish operations (what does “NGOs and civil society groups that censor inconvenient truths, facts and narratives” sound like?) it clearly is oblivious to what it’s actually addressing. Btw, I believe the notorious Jankowicz is Jewish although she apparently doesn’t declare that from what I remember; I think she’s generally referred to as Polish/Russian (which suggests the Pale) and has been said to have had survivor family who had passed through the Warsaw ghetto on their way to America.
DiResta wasn’t just some housewife and mother concerned about vaccinations and children’s diseases either. From her own website:
“She was part of the founding team and ran marketing and business development at Haven, the transportation management technology platform that’s transforming trade logistics for commodity, CPG, and food shippers. Before that, Renée was a Principal at seed-stage venture capital fund O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures (OATV), where she invested in early technology startups with a focus on hardware, manufacturing, and logistics companies. She spent seven years on Wall Street as an equity derivatives trader and market maker at Jane Street, a top quantitative proprietary trading firm in New York City.”
So there’s Jane Street (rhymes with J Street, the Dem left’s version of AIPAC), and that would have been something like 2005-12, so the run-up and aftermath of the 2007-08 Wall St. disaster, within which she may have played a tiny role. And before that she was in college, and I was at one point able to find in an interview from her children’s vaxx period that she wrote her thesis on propaganda used in the 2004 Russian presidential election!
That was Putin’s first reelection campaign, after having gone after the Jewish semibankirshchina, the seven banker oligarchs taking control of the state, driving out of the country Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky, and prosecuting Mikhail Khodorkovsky for fraud and tax evasion. In 2005 ex-American scumbag Wall Streeter Bill Browder, then the largest foreign investor in Russia and also Jewish, had his Russian visa pulled and was also charged with fraud and tax evasion, but he’s managed to avoid the prison cell in the gulag he so deserves. And DiResta, destined for Wall St. and Russiagate, was already involving herself in this 20-year ethnic mission of destruction and revenge, at the college prep level, showing her true colors.
But Renee is not done yet, including with Greenwald - the opening of an article in the Atlantic in March on Ukraine: “Late last month, the world watched in real time on social media as a nuclear power invaded a sovereign neighbor. In the days before Russian forces entered Ukraine, many high-profile commentators processed the impending crisis through the lens of America’s unending culture war. The left-wing contrarian Glenn Greenwald sneered that the CIA had told the media to use the term invasion, while the Fox News host Tucker Carlson implied that Russian President Vladimir Putin wasn’t as bad as American cancel culture. ‘Has Putin ever called me a racist?’ Carlson wondered aloud. ‘Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?’”
Later in her piece: “Interestingly, Russian state media seem to be looking westward again. When justifications of ‘denazification’ flopped as a pretext for invasion, these outlets’ English-language accounts started talking up purported Ukrainian bioweapon labs supported by the Pentagon; Chinese state media began boosting the story too. But the Russians don’t need shadowy troll accounts to whisper about it on Twitter, because—predictably—prominent American culture-war influencers have taken the bait and aired the conspiracy theory on their own platforms. What was the U.S. government’s role in the biolabs, anyway?”
So on what basis is post-con mama JAP DiResta entitled to spew her bloody ethno-BS in the Atlantic? She’s Jewish and fighting the anti-Russia culture war, and the Atlantic is effectively a Jewish neocon rag. And no one can, or at least will, say anything. Including Jews like Greenwald and GZ boss Max Blumenthal, who aren’t going to trigger the next Holocaust by outing their own murderous brothers-in-blood, even if they wanted to.
So instead it’s more neo-nazis and the CIA and the MIC, anything that’s different than the MSM line and sounds plausible enough - and isn’t the actual truth. Just another day in 21st century kosher America.
More generally, DiResta is important to her people and their influence/control over society because her essential mission is to restrict information to what comes from the controlled corporate media, government, academic institutions and other establishment organizations like think-tanks. The threat is uncontrolled information, for instance what you are reading right now. So do a search and you can see her roll seamlessly from Russiagate lies (where she should have been discredited but wasn’t) to the defense of COVID science and those vaccines, as problematic as all of that has been. Whatever one thinks about that topic (and I am not an extreme right wacko on that nor am I a “follow the science, dammit!” compliant mainstream leftist; I have not been vaxxed either), it's hard to claim there hasn't been establishment misinformation and a control aspect to it. Good practice and preparation for when we inevitably get to the really serious “antisemitism”, her promotion of building solid information barriers on the web.
So what perhaps is a better story here? Well, as I said in my last article, I just am starting to read Michael Collins Piper’s book Final Judgment, which is about the Israel angle to the JFK assassination. Part of that is the role played by mafiosos, led by Meyer Lansky, chairman of the board of Murder Inc. In the book’s intro he lists a who’s who regarding Dallas, and one section is on the Lansky crime syndicate, which lists Carlos Marcello, Seymore Weiss, Santo Trafficante, Sam Giancana, Johnny Rosselli, Mickey Cohen, Jack Ruby, Jim Braden and Al Gruber, a nice blend of cosa nostra and kosher nostra under Don Lansky.
There is also a legitimate mafia angle to what Whitney Webb has talked about regarding Jeffrey Epstein, going back to Lansky, although I seriously doubt it’s described entirely openly and accurately in her book. In that piece I talked about the “Russian” mob in the US, which is almost entirely Jewish, and tied them to the Russian oligarchs of the ‘90s. Many of the leading oligarchs in Ukraine are also Jewish, three of the nation’s four billionaires from one article I saw, including Zelensky puppetmaster Kolomoysky (the 4th is a Tatar and not Slavic). Ukraine is also arguably the most corrupt nation in Europe, which suggests a heavy dollop of organized crime, and a very hazy line between that and those oligarchs.
So it doesn’t take a genius to guess about at least a piece of this, a sizable chunk of the money that’s gone missing, and that would explain the Jewish-led government’s distancing themselves from Aid for Ukraine that is described. And it’s not the CIA left holding the moneybag.
The boss of bosses Semion Mogilevich
The Godfather of the Kremlin Boris Berezovsky
But the basic story, at least regarding this Ukrainian angle, is the same old story of Jewish activism seen over and over, with its two fundamental objectives:
Do something for the good of the Chosen People, their continuity and their desires, as the core mission within tikkun olam (repairing the world); and
Make a bundle in the process
Someone made a bag here, and I don’t think it’s the CIA, the military-industrial complex, or the Biden Crime Family, and it’s surely not anyone else who has ever gone to church on Sundays.
PS: Here’s DiResta on JRE in 2019; note her history starts a decade after that so-telling but unmentioned college thesis:
“…virulent and nasty trolls, antisemitic trolls going after journalists…” 🤔
The Jewish culture warrior and conman Sam Harris (also Stanford-connected, btw) has apparently deleted his 2019 youtube podcast with DiResta; it’s on his website - https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/145-information-war - but here’s him last week (very amusingly, at least to me) Jew’splaining the FTX collapse and his previous selling of SBF on his podcast as some kind of tikkun olam good guy smart philanthropist. Btw, as if I really need to say this, Bernie Madoff was also a Jew, using the J-word that appears NOWHERE in this story that I have seen or heard so far, other than as that byline footnote in SBF’s wiki about “being born into a Jewish family” - he’s not a Jew, he’s not even kinda Jew-ish, he just randomly and innocently dropped into a Jewish household, I guess…
“This is a fucking Greek tragedy” - not Greek, Sam, definitely not Greek 😂
PPS: Several days after posting this article a thought crossed my mind - what has Lex Fridman said about this FTX scandal? In case you don’t know, Fridman is a “Russian” Jewish professor of computer science at MIT who was born in the USSR into a family sourced from Ukraine and who has become an IDW-like podcaster, moving in that same circle in recent years. I was surprised to see from scrolling through his youtube clips (he breaks up his long-form podcasts into easily-digestable topical bits of a few minutes) that he appears not to have addressed it, at least not in any substantial way that I could see.
But I did come across this amusing bit from a discussion with “the artist formerly known as Kanye West”, where Fridman displays his Jewish activist side in attacking Ye the antisemite, specifically on the subject of Jewish influence/control of the media (of which he himself is part today); Ye doesn’t back down on that thankfully, continuing to bite the hand that feeds him (in the black-Jewish alliance sense), but his response is kind of weak overall, he really doesn’t counterpunch with any effectiveness:
Lex: A great man does the right thing. And I think the right thing is to not to say that there is Jewish control of the media.
Ye: That’s incorrect though, that’s a fucking lie, there is. And they did come and bully me, it proved the point.
Lex: No, the reason you don’t say it is because the world is much bigger than the, forgive me, the narrow little world you exist in, your impact stretches way past those little boardroom meetings over contracts.
Ye: So what should I have done?
Lex: You should be a strong man that doesn’t mention religion or people, and then fight - do you want to win this fight?
Ye: How do I win? How do we win?
Lex: Call out individual people, that’s one way…
This of course is the essence of the matter today, the black hole in the middle of our so-problematic 21st century world. And Fridman the Jew is advocating continuation of this problem with essentially political correctness, blinding one’s self to the people who occupy that hole under cover of darkness. Because he is one of those (chosen) people. Because without the labeling you don’t see the Jew, you don’t see the group commonalities, you don’t see the disproportionately loud and numerous voices, you don't see the fucking money.
As a black man Ye doesn’t have that advantage, everyone knows he’s black as soon as they see him, as soon as he opens his mouth - there is no hiding in plain sight, even if he wanted to. Which he doesn’t, I am sure. Same with Hispanics, Asians and (Euro-Christian) whites. There is really only one group that is dedicated to hiding their presence, is wedded to the practice of crypsis.
