FTX Was Registered with and Licensed by the CFTC, Which Failed to Properly Regulate or Supervise It
November 15th, 2022Via: Better Markets:
FTX via FTX Derivatives US LLC, a derivatives clearing organization (DCO), is licensed by and registered with the CFTC, which was supposed to regulate and supervise it. The CFTC appears to have failed miserably at that and missed what now appears to be multiple failures at FTX to meet fundamental corporate governance standards (including multiple reports of commingling of funds, gross mismanagement, conflicts of interest, improper relationships with affiliates like Alameda, etc.) if not also outright illegal conduct.

Humans Could Face Reproductive Crisis, Sperm Count Decline Accelerating
November 15th, 2022Mission accomplished.
Via: The Guardian:
Humans could face a reproductive crisis if action is not taken to tackle a drop in sperm count, researchers have warned after finding the rate of decline is accelerating.
A study published in the journal Human Reproduction Update, based on 153 estimates from men who were probably unaware of their fertility, suggests that the average sperm concentration fell from an estimated 101.2m per ml to 49.0m per ml between 1973 and 2018 – a drop of 51.6%. Total sperm counts fell by 62.3% during the same period.
Research by the same team, reported in 2017, found that sperm concentration had more than halved in the last 40 years. However, at the time a lack of data for other parts of the world meant the findings were focused on a region encompassing Europe, North America and Australia. The latest study includes more recent data from 53 countries.
Declines in sperm concentration were seen not only in the region previously studied, but in Central and South America, Africa and Asia.
Moreover, the rate of decline appears to be increasing: looking at data collected in all continents since 1972, the researchers found sperm concentrations declined by 1.16% per year. However, when they looked only at data collected since the year 2000, the decline was 2.64% per year.

November 13th, 2022Sounds about right.
Via: Fox:
A former campaign spokesman for President Biden and top Pentagon official has taken a job at TikTok.
It was first revealed in Politico newsletter on Tuesday that Jamal Brown is “joining TikTok to manage policy communications for the Americas, primarily focusing on the United States.”
TikTok has not appeared to put out an official statement regarding the hiring decision, but Brown’s Twitter bio has already been updated to show his employment for the Chinese-owned social media app.
From February 2021 until February 2022, Brown served as the deputy Pentagon press secretary at the U.S. Department of Defense. He previously worked as one of three national press secretaries for Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.

At Least $1 Billion of Customer Funds Missing from Collapsed Crypto Exchange FTX, CEO 2nd Biggest Donor to Democrats
November 13th, 2022CEO of cratering crypto firm FTX is Dems’ second largest donor, behind Soros:
Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of crypto exchange company FTX, and the second biggest donor to the Democrat party, is in hot water as his company is in financial freefall with over $1 billion missing.
According to Fortune, “30-year-old Bankman-Fried has been a major force in Democratic politics, ranking as the party’s second-biggest individual donor in the 2021–2022 election cycle.”
Also, Sam Bankman-Fried Bought Into Stakeholder Capitalism And Proved It’s A Disastrous Ideology:
What many in the mainstream are missing, though, is Fried’s attachments to the World Economic Foundation, various global elitists and his avid sermonizing of the tenets of “effective altruism”, which are nearly identical to the tenets of Klaus Schwab’s Stakeholder Capitalism agenda.
Via: Reuters:
At least $1 billion of customer funds have vanished from collapsed crypto exchange FTX, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The exchange’s founder Sam Bankman-Fried secretly transferred $10 billion of customer funds from FTX to Bankman-Fried’s trading company Alameda Research, the people told Reuters.
A large portion of that total has since disappeared, they said. One source put the missing amount at about $1.7 billion. The other said the gap was between $1 billion and $2 billion.

November 12th, 2022Via: Liberation Times:
The U.S Department of Defense (DoD) has confirmed to Liberation Times that the United States Air Force (USAF) did not extend its Unidentified Aerospace-undersea Phenomena (UAP) pilot program.
Furthermore, the DoD has refused to directly address allegations that USAF personnel were warned against participating with the UAP Task Force (UAPTF), and in another instance interrogated by the Department of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) for participating in a classified DoD chat room devoted to UAP issues.
Liberation Times has also learned new information about attempts by the USAF to crack down on officers attempting to cooperate with the UAPTF, and that the air force was actually willing to participate on the topic before executing a “180-degree turn.”
FBI Should Have 14 Days, Not 66 Years, to Produce Seth Rich Information
November 12th, 2022Via: Epoch Times:
The FBI should only have 14 days, not 66 years, to produce information from Seth Rich’s laptop computer, a lawyer argued in a new court filing.
After a U.S. judge ordered the FBI to produce the information, the bureau said that it should not be required to hand it over because of exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). And if the bureau still had to produce the information, government lawyers said it should have 66 years because it needs to review the information and redact certain information.
