Quadriga Mystery Deepens After Auditors Find Bankrupt Exchange's 'Cold Storage' Wallets Were Drained

Quadriga's house of cards has finally collapsed.

For nearly three months now, customers of the Canadian exchange that declared bankruptcy in January have been questioning the company's official narrative - outlined in a series of court filings - that it had suddenly lost access to more than $150 million in customer deposits due to the sudden death of its founder, Gerald Cotten. And as it turns out, everybody who thought the company was hiding something by refusing to disclose the public keys to the "cold storage" wallets purportedly holding the lost crypto fortune, has now been proven right.

Tear gas v flowers: Yellow Vests march through Paris for 16th week in a row

Yellow Vest protesters have taken to the streets of Paris for the 16th consecutive week. While some enjoyed a friendly chat with police officers, others faced tear gas after trying to break off from a pre-approved marching route.

Unlike previous demonstrations, Paris officials authorized a designated route for Saturday’s “Act 16” anti-government marchers – a span of road beginning at the Arc de Triomphe and ending at Place Denfert-Rochereau in the south of the city.

In contrast to the chaotic clashes with police during previous protests, photographs and videos reveal a largely peaceful, orderly demonstration.

Examing The Real Crimes Of Netanyahu In Light Of Bibi's Indictment

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is finally facing indictment for a litany of charges related to bribery, fraud, corruption, influence peddling, meddling with the free press and currying favors on a pay-for-play basis. For about a year, we've been covering the fraud charges and, as we predicted, elections were called several months early, presumably in the hopes of circumvention indictment and potential arrest as a result of the many alleged crimes.

Bibi, his wife Sara and their son Yair have all been embroiled in the criminal scandals. Netanyahu is facing three separate cases, each one with multiple charges. Collusion with the media to damage opposition news sources, receiving gifts and money for policy. Between footage, cell phone records and a number of whistleblowers there is ample evidence to put away Netanyahu and finally he is facing indictment. But honestly, what is all this corruption in comparison to his real crimes. Crimes against humanity inflicted on both Jews and Arabs in the Gaza strip.

Cont. from images:

So Bibi has been indicted, he'll see a trial and likely get a slap on the wrist. Maybe he'll go back into political PR and media relations or, who knows, could get a job working with one of those ex-Mossad "PR" outfits like Black Cube. You know, the guys who would spy on and intimidate Harvey Weinstein's victims into ensuring they didn't go to authorities? In all seriousness though, even if he does get some short prison stint, it's too good for him, but I'm not holding my breath for the military tribunal.

Washington prepares 'global strike' to overthrow undesired govts like Venezuela – Moscow

The US is using the technologies of color revolutions to bring down unwanted regimes and is set to deploy a new warfare strategy dubbed “Trojan Horse”, Russia’s top army official said on Saturday.

Countries whose governments are left out in the cold by Washington should beware of a mix of military and soft power, Valery Gerasimov, Russian Staff Chief said. According to the Russian general, Washington is already using technologies of color revolutions and is working on several types of offensives which he called a “global strike” and “multi-sphere battle."

“It was that way in Iraq, Libya, and Ukraine. Similar activities are now seen in Venezuela.”

The Pentagon’s new “Trojan Horse” warfare strategy, which is currently underway, would rely on “protest potential of the fifth column” to destabilize the situation in the countries with unwanted governments. Simultaneously, precision-guided munition would be deployed to launch strikes on key infrastructure, according to Gerasimov.

On Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Washington is considering buying mortars and portable air-defense systems in Eastern Europe and sending them via cargo plane to locations near Venezuela’s borders.

The US publicly backs Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who proclaimed himself interim president in January following skirmishes on the streets of Caracas.

Guaido’s claim is supported by most Latin American countries, the UK, Germany, France, and Spain while Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, and several other countries stick up for president Nicolas Maduro.

In February, President Donald Trump said he will not rule out a military intervention scenario, while Maduro urged the US to get its hands off the country.

Kamala Harris' office paid out over $1.1mn to settle sex harassment claims as AG

Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris is in damage control mode over revelations that her office paid out over $1.1 million in response to sex harassment and misconduct claims while she was California's attorney general.

Allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation by co-workers, reports of inappropriate touching, and complaints about sexually charged comments and actions in the workplace are among the recorded incidents that resulted in payouts during Harris' six-year tenure as AG, according to records obtained through a California Public Records Act request by the Los Angeles Times.

Harris insists she was unaware of the suits, but has retroactively shouldered the burden of responsibility. "As the chief executive of a department of nearly 5,000 employees, the buck stopped with me," she said, adding that as a senator, she is made personally aware of any harassment complaints. Harris has cast herself as a staunch supporter of #MeToo, but despite her efforts at reinvention, her long record as a prosecutor seems to confront her at every turn.

She claimed ignorance of charges against top aide Larry Wallace after the Justice Department paid $400,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging he had harassed and discriminated against his executive assistant – even though he had worked closely with Harris for 14 years. Under Harris' leadership, the Department of Justice paid out $649,500 to special agent James Rodriguez to settle charges the agency had harassed and retaliated against him for winning an earlier settlement – transferring him to undesirable jobs, slow-walking his pay, and even encouraging co-workers to file complaints about him. While she pleaded ignorance about that settlement as well – the largest made under her tenure – her history of protecting officials guilty of prosecutorial misconduct – including falsified confessions, doctored evidence, and perjury – speaks for itself.

After Harris' Justice Department was ordered to ease the overcrowding plaguing California jails in 2014, her office argued that releasing minimum-security inmates up for parole would deprive the state of California of a vital supply of the cheap labor it had come to depend on to fight the country's deadliest wildfires – sparking a media firestorm that Harris tried unsuccessfully to quench by claiming she had no idea her own office was advocating keeping prisoners in jail to fight wildfires at $1 per hour.

UK to fine Facebook & Google for not removing ‘hate speech’ & ‘fake news’ fast enough

The UK is rolling out a draconian new ‘harmful content’ policy that will punish social media with massive fines if they fail to remove ill-defined “hate speech”, “misinformation”, and “problematic content” quickly enough, RT.com writes.

An “independent tech regulator” would have the power to impose fines amounting to as much as 4 percent of a company’s value if Facebook, Google, or any other social media platform is too slow to remove objectionable content, according to UK digital minister Margot James, who told Business Insider the new rules would be officially unveiled next month. The regulations are purportedly aimed at eradicating “illegal hate speech”, along with child grooming and “problematic content” related to suicide and self-harm, but also target the Western governments’ beloved punching bag, “misinformation.”

While the new regulator is supposed to be independent of government, it will be up to ministers to decide whether to set up a brand new body or just hand the responsibility for censoring objectionable content over to Ofcom – the same regulator which was recently found to be colluding with a government-funded “think tank” to tie up RT in regulatory red tape with astroturfed “complaints.”

Based in part on Germany‘s NetzDG laws, which fine companies tens of millions of dollars for hate speech if offending messages are not deleted within a certain period, the new UK regulations won’t stop at censoring “illegal hate speech” (which James apparently defines as anything from terrorist recruitment videos to racism, leaving plenty of wiggle room for neocon think-tanks to sink popular alternative media pages). Child grooming, “problematic content” related to self-harm, and even “misinformation” can now cost tech companies billions of dollars – up to 4 percent of their revenue – if they do not act quickly.

“Tech companies listen with their wallets”, Conservative MP Damian Collins said, praising the German model. Collins recently led an 18-month parliamentary investigation into “fake news” on social media, and the results didn’t bode well for independent-minded users and content creators. The report decried “malign forces” spreading “disruption and confusion”, liberally sprinkling the descriptor “Russian” throughout in case there was any doubt what flavor of “discord” was being sowed.

Tech executives could actually face criminal penalties if they are unable to rein in malicious use of their platforms, according to Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright, who joined James on a jaunt to Silicon Valley to meet with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and hammer out the details of the regulation.

James admits it isn’t social media’s fault that “toxic content” is posted on their platforms, but insists, “you’ve got to take it down before it proliferates.” She was open about her desire to impose the model on other governments, lamenting that the US government does not ban hate speech but expressing hope that the UK model could be a “template”, ensuring “other governments follow our lead.”

Finnish ‘Soldiers of Odin’ announce hunt for rapists and pedophiles in controversial video

The Finnish Police investigates a video published recently in social media by the vigilante group ‘Soldiers of Odin’ that announces a “hunt” for rapists and pedophiles.

The video, which is subtitled in English and Arabic, and has since been deleted from both Facebook and Vimeo, shows a group of masked men dressed in dark, armed with bats and chains march onwards to the camera amid winter darkness, accompanied by heavy metal music.

One of them, who acts as a spokesperson, announces that “The pedophile hunting season has been opened!”

The speaker points out that their target are the “sex tourists who have invaded our country” and “hunt our children”. And explains that the Soldiers of Odin are going to take justice into their own hands, since “the authorities and the politicians do nothing”.

The Soldiers of Odin also claim that half of the sexual propositions to underage girls came from Arabs. However, the group stress that the hunt is open for “domestic pedophiles and rapists of all colours”.

“We guarantee you that a date with us will be memorable. And hey, don’t worry, we won’t call the police”, they state.

The video is a response to the cases of sexual abuse of minors perpetrated in Oulu and Helsinki by a group of foreigners, who have been arrested by the police.

The National Police Board has asked the Helsinki Police Department to assess whether a hate crime toward ethnic groups should be suspected and to determine which preventive and other measures should be taken regarding the publication.

The Police Board says that; “suspected crimes cannot be systematically responded to with serious offenses”. And; “responding to sexual crimes with crimes of violence does not help in the protection of human life and health or contribute to public safety.”

Google Sponsored CPAC To Shape Narrative On Nationalism

Google sponsored 2018’s CPAC in the hopes of exerting influence over the Republican Party platform on immigration, according to a recording of a company executive.

In a phone recording obtained exclusively by “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Google executive Adam Kovacevich can be heard explaining his agenda.

“Big tech knows a lot about you—in some cases, more than you know about yourself. They certainly know where you go and what you eat, and maybe even know what you think. The only thing it can’t control is what your thoughts are but they are working on that, too,” Carlson began. (RELATED: Google Search Labels Republican Women ‘Enablers’)

He continued, “In a 2018 phone recording obtained exclusively by this show, Adam Kovacevich—he’s Google’s head of U.S. public policy—explains to Google employees why the company was a sponsor for CPAC that year. Google sponsored CPAC, he says, because it wouldn’t let them push the party toward a more open borders agenda. Listen.”

Carlson then aired the alleged clip of Kovacevich:

The Republican Party and I think conservatism in general is also going through a lot of internal debates about what — what it should be, right, what it should be—the sort of position of the party. And I think that’s one that we should be involved in because we, I think, probably want to steer conservatives and Republicans more towards a message of liberty and freedom and away from the more nationalistic incendiary nativist comments and things like that.

As The Daily Caller News Foundation reported in November 2018, Google also contemplated burying conservative outlets in the company’s search engine in response to President Donald Trump winning the election.

Five people are arrested in New York 'drug mill' raid where the DEA seizes enough fentanyl to kill TWO MILLION people and discovers the drugs concealed in furniture

Five people have been arrested following a New York drug raid where cops seized enough fentanyl to kill two million people.

DEA agents and Greenburgh police raided an alleged heroin and fentanyl mill operated out of Westchester, New York home on Friday morning.

A Drug Enforcement Administration task force carried out a search warrant in the home in the quiet and upscale village of Ardsley and found five kilograms of fentanyl in the home and six kilograms of heroin.

Photos from the raid show bags of powdered substances wrapped in plastic and stuffed into the crooks of furniture and hidden in concealed compartments of dressers.

Amazon Joins Big Tech Assault on Anti-Vaccine Information

As major media and big tech continue freaking out over 159 measles cases in the U.S., anti-vaccine campaigners are increasingly being likened to terrorists as their ability to share information and earn money is being cut off.

The origin of this latest move against the free flow of information seems to have stemmed from a letter sent by Adam Schiff (D-CA) to the heads of Facebook and Google wherein he lamented the increased viewership of the vaccine debate:

“There is strong evidence to suggest that at least part of the source of this trend is the degree to which medically inaccurate information about vaccines surface on the websites where many Americans get their information,” Schiff wrote in the letter. “The algorithms which power these services are not designed to distinguish quality information from misinformation or misleading information, and the consequences of that are particularly troubling for public health issues.” (Source: Bloomberg)

Facebook was the first to agree with Schiff’s call to action and vowed that they were “exploring additional measures” to fight the appearance of anti-vaccine messaging to the reading public.

But it was YouTube (Google) that appears to have taken the swiftest measures against anti-vaccine proponents by announcing that their two-pronged approach would include demonitizing videos with “dangerous and harmful” content, plus adding a stern warning from the World Health Organization that being anti-vaccine is “one of the top ten global health threats of 2019.”

In the true spirit of competition for which big tech company can foster the most censorship and destroy the key values of democracy, Amazon has followed suit by burning the digital books (videos) of those who have made it their life’s work to educate the public and spur debate. And, again, it seems that the public comments made by a single rep – Adam Schiff – have been enough to alter company policy which affects millions of people.

The move came days after a CNN Business report highlighted the anti-vaccine comment available on the site, and hours after Rep. Adam Schiff wrote an open letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, saying he is concerned “that Amazon is surfacing and recommending” anti-vaccination books and movies.

Anti-vaccine movies that were previously available free for Prime subscribers, like “We Don’t Vaccinate!,” “Shoot ‘Em Up: The Truth About Vaccines,” and “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,” are now “currently unavailable.” (Source: Fox2now)

Over 600 Tons of Leaked Oil Expected to Ruin Heritage-Listed Solomon Islands Reef

A terrifying environmental calamity has engulfed the Solomon Islands after a bulk carrier ran aground in last month’s cyclone Oma, threatening the future of a sensitive UNESCO World Heritage site.

The government of the small island nation has demanded urgent assistance in controlling the spill, which has already leaked over 80 tons of oil into the sea and surrounding shoreline and continues to gush into the nearby coral reef, causing a devastating impact on the environmentally sensitive region.

On February 5, the Hong Kong-flagged Solomon Trader, built in 1994, was loading bauxite from a mine on Rennell Island before the cyclone sank the ship onto a coral reef.

Over 660 tons of oil remain on board the leaking vessel along with the ship’s full load of bauxite, the key ore used to make aluminum. The ship was chartered with Indonesian company Bintan Mining Solomon Islands Limited, but its ownership remains unclear.

2/2

According to @guardian, the oil is yet to reach East Rennell which is a @UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Meanwhile, New Zealand and Australia are assisting the Solomon Islands government in dealing with the situationhttps://t.co/iIRcjCzVd3

Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has expressed that it was “profoundly disappointed” by the slow response to the unfolding catastrophe, according to the Associated Press.

The spill also threatens to eventually spread to East Rennell, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest raised coral atoll in the world. UNESCO officials had called the site “a true natural laboratory” for scientific study – and one which faces danger due to logging and overfishing in the area. The UNESCO World Heritage Centre is working with Solomon authorities in hopes of assisting in damage control.

A source with close knowledge of the incident told The Guardian:

“Once it hits rock the heavy fuel oil is effectively like a bitumen-like substance and has to be removed by hand.”

While Australian officials warn that it remains high’y likely that the oil will be “released” into the sea, salvage crews have scrambled to mitigate the damage and pump the remaining oil from the ship before it breaks up.

“All of the evidence indicates very little prospect of imminent action that would involve getting the oil off the vessel and preventing the ongoing spill,” the source added.

In the meantime, Bauxite mining operations by the company have continued unimpeded. Officials from the Solomon maritime administration have been interviewing mining management officials, however, and are expected to halt the company’s operations.

About 2,000 people live on Rennell Island and rely on the surrounding ocean, as well as its abundant natural resources, for their livelihoods. The island is also home to a number of unique species, including such birds as the bare-eyed white eye, the Rennell shrikebill, the Solomons white ibis and the rare venomous sea krait Laticauda crockeri.

“The impact of this oil spill will have a devastating effect on the surrounding environment, including potentially on a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the livelihood of the people of Rennell,” Australian high commissioner Rod Brazier said.

Hi Rabbi

Koch Brothers Announce Plans to Intervene in GOP Primaries in Support of RINO, Open Border, “Free Trade” Republicans

The Koch Brothers network announced they will intervene in GOP primaries in support of RINO hacks and open borders Republicans.

The Kochs are not happy with the direction of the country under President Trump. They want Paul Ryan-like Republicans who can push trade policies that wipe out the US middle class.

The Washington Examiner reported:

The Koch political network for the first time plans to intervene in GOP primaries as part of a deliberate 2020 strategy to reverse years of essentially rubber-stamping the Republican Party in general elections.

Disappointed with Republicans in Congress and occasionally at odds with President Trump, the coalition of political groups overseen by Charles Koch has been re-evaluating its engagement in federal campaigns. Playing in GOP primaries to elect more like-minded Republicans to the House and Senate is key tactical adjustment the network has agreed to, with a top Koch official confirming that incumbents could be targeted for defeat.

“We think that if we’re going to be more selective, you know, raise the bar before getting involved, that it makes sense, therefore, to do more primaries,” Tim Phillips, who runs Americans for Prosperity, the Koch grassroots arm, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday while making the rounds at the Conservative Political Action Conference. The Washington Examiner is a CPAC media sponsor.
