This is sad and yet entirely predictable. The Wall Street Journal has just put out an explosive expose on Federal Officials Insider Trading, trading on the most inside of inside information, joining
Congresspeople Insider Trading
Federal Reserve Officials Insider Trading
and
Federal Judges Insider Trading
If you and I did this kind of thing, well we’d be trying to cut a deal to be sentenced to the minium security camp at Lewisburg as opposed to the medium security camp.
Here’s just some of the highlights from the WSJ
More than five dozen officials at five agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department, reported trading stock in companies shortly before their departments announced enforcement actions, such as charges and settlements, against those companies.
More than 200 senior EPA officials, nearly one in three, reported investments in companies that were lobbying the agency. EPA employees and their family members collectively owned between $400,000 and nearly $2 million in shares of oil and gas companies on average each year between 2016 and 2021.
At the Defense Department, officials in the office of the secretary reported collectively owning between $1.2 million and $3.4 million of stock in aerospace and defense companies on average each year examined by the Journal. Some held stock in Chinese companies while the U.S. was considering blacklisting the companies.
About 70 federal officials reported using riskier financial techniques such as short selling and options trading, with some individual trades valued at between $5 million and $25 million. In all, the forms revealed more than 90,000 trades of stocks during the six-year period reviewed.
When financial holdings caused a conflict, the agencies sometimes simply waived the rules. In most instances identified by the Journal, ethics officials certified that the employees had complied with the rules, which have several exemptions that allow officials to hold stock that conflicts with their agency’s work.
Regretably, what will probably happen is absolutely nothing, just like the Congresspeople, Federal Judges, Federal Reserve officials who pulled this kind of stuff.
How strange. I just used the term “ kleptocracy” in the same context on another site. Great minds think alike.😇
Eric, search Aldous Huxley/ Mike Wallace Interview 1958. Make sure you’re seated on something sturdy and deep enough not to fall off when you faint.
Wallace was a condescending elitist bitch. Introduced Huxley with mocking disdain.” Mr. Huxley’s vision of a dark, dystopian near fire”. Huxley was so entrenched in thought it’s doubtful he even heard Wallace. And then he launched into the most detailed, prescient series of events , including a technocratic Kleptocorporate Multinational elite cabal of godless megalomaniacal authoritarian sociopaths creating patterns of so called catastrophic events, 24 hour media purveying synchronized , echo chamber type false narrative propaganda.. pandemics, novel pharmaceuticals, an increasingly brainwashed society divided ( the vaccines) creating one half of society so fearful and hate filled as to render those who didn’t bow to the mob as less than human. He segues to war, depopulation, wealth confiscation, lockdowns and isolation with a population so fearful , but worshipful of those who used the dogma to distrust family and friends.. - population so conditioned as to literally become willing, docile slaves. And the surveillance state, digitally currency used to reward or punish, a central bank, central feudal system of fiefs and serfs, melded with machine, microchipped, no privacy, no identity, no nuclear family, no freedom, no escape. All the more inexplicable are the devices, technology that weren’t even a pipe dream Transhumanism. The Great Reset aka Build Back Better aka Brave New World. Huxley may have been transhuman by divine design.😂He was a prophet.
