This was an amazing article. All of a sudden, I feel as though I have a better grasp on this nightmare than most of the journalists and politicians. For someone as naive as I am regarding high finance, I was able to follow and actually understand what you were saying. I look forward to following your posts.

I am now also armed, as I might guess many others too. We now have such a deeper understanding of the nature of the upper echelons and how they function and protect themselves. So complicated, yet so simple when you break it down. Ethan this article is a treasure. It should be sent to all independent journalists who are resisting this corrupt administration and let the cards fall where they may. I believe it just might be the Achilles heel-if you will, the weakest link to save our democracy.

Ethan, I echo all the previous words of praise for your work. How are you using all this invaluable material to join with other journalists and activists to get the word out? I’m doing my best to pass along your information as well.

I so appreciate the living hell out of you, Ethan. I’ve detested the orange devil since the early 80’s when he screwed over the contractors he hired, by not paying them. I refused to spend one penny in those two casinos he had ( and bankrupted? Yeah-right) in Atlantic City,NJ. I read a story just about 4 years ago.One contractor, felt so bad he couldn’t pay his employees that be sold everything he had , got cashiers checks and put them in an envelope with their names on it and blew his brains out. To this day I wish I’d kept that article. I cried my eyes out. These parasites we’re dealing with, both known and yet to be known are heartless , cold, soulless, self centered egotistical creatures who are all about making this a one world order of evil and that doesn’t sit well with We The People. We Must and We Will Change that. The tide is once again turning in our favor. We Will Be Ready. I’m here for all your chapters Ethan. I might be 70 years old but I still have a lot of fight left in me. Just differently as I’m one of those disabled casualties the orange devil dislikes lol.

Right there with you honey @70, and I’m here for the fight as well, we’re still younger than that rotten orange pos who thinks he’s king & evidently ageless, but he’ll find out about that soon!

Amazing amazing journalism! congratulations! All those photos with Trump and Epstein with tons of young women whose faces were blacked out: forget the sex and sensationalism. FOLLOW THE $$$$$$$$$$$!

I am grateful that there are individuals like you Ethan, who have the courage of their conviction to stand up and say what needs to be said.

Power always protects itself and those with the most money are the powerful in our world and always have been. I begin to get a glimmer of understanding as to why the Russian communist revolution scared the west so badly after November 1917. If the ruling class could be put up against the wall and dispatched without mercy, yeah... the powers that be quickly realised they had to make some changes. I'm no communist by any stretch of the imagination. Yet I recall the line from the Internationalle which says, "change does not come from above". The cycle of history is a wheel that comes around time and again. Empires, Kingdom, nations and the powerful all end.

This reads like a captivating fictional thriller that’s too good to put down. If only I could ignore the overwhelming evidence that indicates everything in this country, the world really, is controlled by the select few hoarders of 90+% of our country’s wealth and pretend this only a work of fiction. Instead, I’m standing here watching a handful of billionaires locked in a perpetual pissing contest of greed, each one vying to snatch up the largest share of the remaining 10%. All the while, nearly everyone else is simply far too busy fussing about over toilets, sports & whatever the next distraction du jour will be to notice our collective pockets being picked in broad daylight. So, yeah, I wish I could say I was shocked and surprised the banks are in on all of this. I guess we’re essentially the main characters in a captivating nonfictional thriller. I only hope it ends well for us, the underdogs. Based on how it’s going, that outcome seems unlikely.

I take solace in the fact that despite the gambling term “the house always wins”, DJT has managed to bankrupt multiple casinos! If we continue to root out the corruption, perhaps we will emerge from this quagmire victoriously!

Mary Burris's avatar

Wow!

I’m definitely hooked on reading all of your brilliant, researched, interesting, shocking information!

The people, places and things you name & describe are jaw dropping, but make sense!

Thank you again for all your hard work, and teaching the world the hidden, evil truths that are happening in darkness in our world🤬😢

Late stage capitalism is showing itself. Our definition of wealth is off-center and We the People keep electing based on how much money our candidates can raise vs their policies they run on? Accountability is dead. Until that returns there will be no middle class; just wealth and poverty.

Lynda's avatar

Late stage capitalism without regulations will crash our entire system. We are too far down that road to easily reverse it, if it can be reversed.

Mickey8255's avatar

We are beginning to reverse course now. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.

Ethan, I tried posting your article on Facebook and hot a “bad gateway” response. Are they blocking you?

There is clearly a basic flaw in humanity, which is one of the reasons that I have no doubt that either there never has been an omnipotent creator or, if such an entity existed or still exists, it certainly did *not* care about 'love', 'compassion', 'kindness' or indeed what its human creations chose and choose to do.

After 78 years of life on this planet and as an observer of humanity, I can do nothing but conclude that corruption, self-delusion, self-importance, power, control, wealth, perversion and all manner of immoral and obnoxious behaviour is endemic within the human race. Not only that but it is excessively evident among those occupying the highest status and levels of responsibility in our societies.

Regardless that there are exceptions which prove the rule, the sad reality is that humanity doesn't deserve to exist and assuming that it continues on the path that history shows to be ubiquitous and consistent, it is highly unlikely that it will last beyond the end of the Century, and certainly not for another millennium.

I disagree with either of your premise. There is a God and He cares more than you can imagine . He has made provision to end all of this evil and His judgement is inevitable.

Very good article here. I myself have never trusted JPM. Something about the people who worked there made me feel uncomfortable. Like something is wrong. The advent of Cryptocurrency is only going to make things worse. And with the orange 🍊 💩 with his diligence of destroying the Federal Reserve. ?

THIS has answered many of the questions I have had for decades!! The HOWs.. Thank you for sharing your in depth dive and making it so those of us without mba or banking background can comprehend it ‼️👍🏼🩵💙

Wow this article speaks volumes.

The truth,the whole truth…and it is horrible! Deutsche,Bank of AMERICA,and how many more involved? Violating laws, paying fines -measly amounts to them- certainly not deterrent the individuals using the rot that adds to the rust…the vertices wall’s foundation stays strengthened by the criminally wealthy elitist predators and the people be damned!

Nothin but the truth. Love that song. There evidently is world wide complicity. A world wide demand may be the only way to really change things. To hold every single person and entity accountable. This would have been impossible in the past, but now just nearly impossible. The parasite/criminal class is inordinately powerful but they are just people. So I'm saying there's a chance. Imagine not having sleazeball people manipulating world affairs. The corruption and evil is so deep so maybe I'm just wishing or dreaming. Typing into the ether.

YES, so let’s get RID of Trump and his entire Fascist Regime in the government. THEY are the threat to the People, and to Democracy!

You’re Delusional, Communists and Muslims and Jews oh my!

Excellent work and collation of sources. They keep us distracted with “the files” and the salacious aspects of the case - admittedly horrific as they are - in order to deflect from the sub rosa financial aspects which are the keys to unlock the inherent corruption of the system and its obscene concentration of wealth and power.
