Eye On The Ball :The Strategic Costs of Hunter Biden's Ukrainian Corruption

Clinton/Obama/Biden corruption using Ukraine for power & what it cost the U.S

"Corruption, however, is a very ancient and effective weapon of war. The Roman historian Sallust tells us in the late second century B.C., Berber rebel Jugurtha used bribery, murder and raids to build a personal power base in Numidia (modern-day Algeria). Jugurtha repeatedly thwarted Roman army efforts to defeat him."

"Hunter Biden's blatant corruption and hypocrisy had and still have real world strategic and national security costs. If defending Ukraine is a U.S. security interest, American participation in corruption undermines our security efforts."

Bloomberg TV Headline - Fed Talk Rattles Fixed Income

Get it? "Fixed Income". It's all rigged and fixed to benefit their trust funds and portfolios.

The Fed members and their children had it fixed for decades. "Gold" ends the Fed = GREED does them in.

Another reason they need a war distraction. Powell really did clobber the Fed.

Under the the new ethics rules:

-Officials are prohibited from holding individual stocks, sector funds, agency securities, bonds, commodities, cryptocurrencies, foreign currencies and derivatives contracts, and from engaging in short sales or buying securities on margin

-Officials must provide 45-day non-retractable notice for transactions, receive pre-approval for purchases and sales and hold investments for at least one year

-The time periods straddling FOMC meetings during which transactions are prohibited were extended by one day to align with the Fed’s communications blackout period

-The rules will apply to all members of the FOMC, regional bank first vice presidents, FOMC staff officers, the manager and deputy manager of the Fed’s System Open Market Account, Fed Board division directors and other individuals designated by the chair, as well as the spouses and minor children of all affected individuals
