Was The CIA Propping Up FTX? This Story Keeps Getting More Strange.

I work hard to avoid promoting conspiracy theories. They’re too easy to adopt as explanations for all sorts of strange events.

Usually, stupidity is a perfectly good explanation, especially when it comes to politicians and other public officials. Even when elite coordination is apparent, it’s not necessarily a conspiracy at work. It may just be the case that like-minded individuals are pursuing a common goal.

Elites mostly went to a fairly small group of top schools and took similar courses taught by a tight-knit group of academics. They came up through the ranks in the same government agencies and multilateral institutions. With that much in common, it’s no surprise they think alike and share the same globalist goals.

At the same time, some conspiracies are real. It’s naïve to believe otherwise.

How do you distinguish between the dime-a-dozen conspiracy theories and the real thing? Smoking gun evidence helps, but that’s rare. First-hand experience with the matter under consideration is one of the best approaches.

That brings me to this story from Revolver News. (By the way, if you don’t know Revolver News, check them out. They’re covering the truly important and difficult stories that the mainstream media are too cowardly to touch).

This story involves the CIA, the failed crypto-exchange FTX, money-laundered campaign contributions to Democrats, the Pakistani bank BCCI, which was a criminal enterprise on stilts that collapsed in 1991, Al Qaeda, Jeffery Epstein, and the crypto stablecoin Tether. That’s a lot to unpack.

This story is much longer than our usual recommendation and covers even more ground than is described above. Still, it seemed worth tackling.

I handled Citibank’s financial control in Africa in the 1980s, and BCCI was a bank we ran into constantly. We knew it was bad news then, years before the collapse, and made sure we kept as far away from them as possible.

I also converted Citi to Islamic banking in Pakistan around the same time. My Pakistan experience was one reason I was recruited by the CIA to do financial counterterrorist aimed at Al Qaeda and others in the 2000s. And I’ve been an expert on cryptos since 2010, shortly after they were created in 2009.

I’ve followed the Tether story for years and have been able to drill down on FTX in real-time. In other words, I’ve had enough hands-on experience in third-world bank fraud, intelligence work, cryptocurrencies, and other touchpoints to know this story hangs together and makes a highly credible case.

I’ll leave the story to you rather than repeat all of the details. Here’s the main takeaway: FTX is just the tip of the iceberg. Tether does not have the liquid dollar assets it claims to support its $80 billion of coins issued.

When Tether does collapse, the impact will be multiples of the FTX impact and will certainly affect mainstream finance leading to bank and hedge fund failures. If the Tether collapse is delayed somewhat, it will be because the CIA finds it so useful in financing Ukraine (a Democratic money-laundering scheme), and so-called “color revolutions” around the world.

Read this and enjoy. It’s all playing out before our eyes.
