US charges widen the net, deepen the intrigue on 1MDB scam

On November 1, the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) announced it had lodged criminal charges against three suspects in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fraud case, considered by observers among the largest financial scams in modern history.

The three accused include fugitive Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, former Goldman Sachs banker Ng Chong Hwa, and the same investment bank’s ex-managing director Tim Leissner, who headed the financial institution’s Southeast Asia operations.

A three-count indictment was unsealed against Low and Ng in the Eastern District of New York’s federal court on charges of conspiring to launder about US$6 billion embezzled from 1MDB and violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by paying bribes to both Malaysian and Emirati officials.

The DoJ’s investigation for the indictments involved dozens of individuals, institutions and corporate entities spanning Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Seychelles, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and US.

The three named defendants are the first to face criminal charges lodged by the DoJ for their roles as architects, enablers and organizers of the multi-billion dollar scam. Low, also known as Jho Low, is believed to be laying low in China, according to reports.

Several Malaysian government officials, including ex-premier Najib Razak, allegedly collaborated with two executives at the UAE’s state-owned International Petroleum Investment Company (IPAC) to syphon as much as US$6 billion from 1MDB.

Before being charged with embezzling US$1.7 billion from 1MDB, the 37-year-old Low made a name for himself as a globetrotting playboy posing with stars like Paris Hilton, Miranda Kerr, Elva Hsiao and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Scientists Mock New UN Climate Report Seeking “Unprecedented Changes” to Society

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) released its latest prophecies of doom, warning once again that if humanity does not quickly surrender freedom and prosperity, Armageddon is just 12 years away. The “fake news” media was more than happy to hype the supposed existential threat. Fortunately, the latest UN pseudo-science report is just as ludicrous as the previous ones, if not more so, say reputable scientists and experts from around the world. But that will not stop the tyrants and governments assembling next month in Poland for the UN COP24 “climate” summit from demanding ever more money and centralized government to “save” you from your “carbon footprint.”

But this time, it did not take long for serious scientists and experts to debunk the latest round of UN fear-mongering in SR15. One of the many groups of scientists to speak out was the Canada-based non-profit organization known as Friends of Science. In a report headlined “Faulty Premises = Poor Public Policy on Climate,” the group systematically dismantled the claims and demands made by the UN in its report. Indeed, the organization, which brings together earth, atmospheric, and solar scientists as well as engineers, argued that the public is being “misled.” After reviewing the literature and evidence, the group concluded that the sun is the main driver of climate change, not CO2 as claimed by the UN

In the abstract of his new study, published on November 5 in the Journal of Environmental Sciences, Mörner highlights the observation data and concludes that the UN fear-mongering is totally off base. “Observationally based facts document a present change in absolute (eustatic) sea level ranging between ±0.0 and +1.0 mm/yr,” said the scientist, who has been monitoring sea levels around the world for decades and is widely regarded as one of the world's top experts in the field. “This poses no threats whatsoever. In New York City, sea level is rising at a rate of +2.84 mm/yr, which would imply an additional rise in sea level by 23.3 cm by 2100, a modest rise that can be handled without problems.”

Responding to the latest UN report, former Harvard University physicist Dr. Lubos Motl could barely contain his disgust. “There’s absolutely no true, useful, or original content in this stuff,” he said, calling the report “garbage” that nobody even reads. “Almost identical predictions have been proven incorrect hundreds of times…. We’ve been bombarded by effectively equivalent garbage hundreds of times, the specifics of the newest report are completely irrelevant and uncorrelated with any events, insights, or new scientific evidence. All this fear-mongering is just a random mutation of nonsense that everyone has seen many times, with some completely irrelevant and random new noise…. Climate fearmongers, you’ve become some of the most dishonest as well as useless people in the Earth’s history.”

Welcome to the grand illusion

Come on in and see what's happening

Pay the price, get your tickets for the show

The stage is set, the band starts playing

But don't be fooled by the radio

The TV or the magazines

They'll show you photographs of what they want you to see

But they're just someone else's fantasies
