bust Posted March 25 Report Posted March 25 4 hours ago, Coss said: Trump says Iran gave the US ‘a very big present’ related to oil and gas He was probably referring to the insider trading going on within the WH. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Monday drew attention to an unusually large oil stock trade that occurred moments before President Trump announced a five-day pause on previously threatened energy infrastructure strikes in Iran, indicating it appeared be a case of insider trading. In an X post highlighted by Murphy, a stock market watcher said, “In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.” “$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again – a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump’s post,” Murphy wrote in his own post. “Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption,” he added. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5798756-murphy-trump-oil-iran-insider-trading/ 1
Coss Posted March 25 Author Report Posted March 25 The whole Trump presence is a big, big grift, in both terms. If I wanted to list the separate 'uuge grabs of money, I would watch Rachel Maddow's various youtubery and read Steve Benen's articles on this subject. Makes the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the creation of those Oligarchs, look like a training run. The thing about the USA is that there's so much more to take.

bust Posted March 29 Report Posted March 29 Watched an interesting interview with John Kiriakou, the former CIA intelligence official who blew the whistle on the torture program in Guantanamo Bay. He told the story of being at a function where several professors who are senior advisors to the CIA predict that if Trump pulls out of Iran, the IDF will Nuke it.

buffalo_bill Posted March 30 Report Posted March 30 Gentlemen, President Donald of America according to himself did already win the war against Iran about 2 weeks ago. Currently 3500 marines are about to arrive on a landing ship plus another 10000 said to be ready for departure. Probably to prepare a part of the Iranian coast for another Trump investment. Now the President made it clear that he shall give orders to destroy the whole Iranian energy supply if they do not agree to his latest proposals covering free passage through the Hormuz Straits and an agreement to seal peace . The Mullahs shall of course tell Donald to fuck off and then what? Donald will tell the world again that fruitful negotiation is on the way, they are really great people and all will be fine. Very soon. US troops hitting Iran territory shall meet fanatic warriors in fear of loosing their domestic privileges and driven by Allah´s 47 virgins somewhere. A lot of US sodiers shall then die due to Donald´s idiotic phantasies. I do personally believe that President Donald has no real idea what all this is about , what the Hormuz Straits are and why the Iranians shall not run away if the Americans come. A total mess.
