sorry I thought the threat labeled “Epstein thread” would be a good place to check in on Epstein but then I scrolled through 5 pages of spook poo poo and had none of the info I was looking for.

If you don't even have to comb through a bunch of nonsense to find a nugget of information, is it really even worth finding out more?

if people aren't familiar, Bill Browder was one of the biggest profiteers to Yeltsin's (America's) 1990s shock capitalism in Russia. Browder had also gone through such valiant endeavors as renouncing his american citizenship to dodge taxes. In the same vein, he abandoned Russia following a civil tax judgement of 19 milly, leaving his accounting, Sergei Magnitsky behind to be arrested and answer for his crimes. Magnitsky died in jail (Russians say it was cardiac arrest, Browder and the US by extension say torture). Browder said Magnitsky was actually jailed not for Browder's own indiscretions but instead because Sergei had somehow exposed 230 milly in theft by the Russian govt.

Browder lobbied to get the Magnitsky act passed in America, which introduced sanctions on Putin and oligarchs close to him. Browder also fought tooth and nail to prevent release and screening of a documentary called "The Magnitsky Act: Behind the Scenes" by Andrei Nekrasov, a Russian dissident, because it suggested that Browder had made up most of his story.

Perhaps in the chaotic magic of this thread, I guess this can be woven back into the subjects here because the Magnitsky Act was famously combated by Putin barring the adoption of Russian orphans by Americans, which probably has implications here, sadly.

e: I don't even know where to begin to suggest to my dad that this is wild propaganda. Maybe ask him why he thinks the head of a capital firm that pillaged Russia in the 90s would write this book and not, say, an academic or journalist

let me see if I get this straight

Bill Browder profits off exploiting the collapse of post-Soviet Russia, gets slammed by the courts to the tune of 19 million bucks, and flees the country.

Browder's accountant Sergei Magnitsky, gets arrested instead of Browder, and dies in prison.

Browder claims that Magnitsky was prosecuted by the Russian government not because Browder left him twisting in the wind for the money that HE owed, but rather because Magnitsky had uncovered some kind of massive corruption scandal in the government.

Browder than lobbies the US government to pass the Magnitsky act, which imposes economic sanctions on Russia and "Putin's pals"... in retaliation for "killing" Magnitsky, when it was all his fault to begin with.

Where does the adoption of orphans come in? I vaguely remember that that was supposed to be something that involved the Magnitsky act.

Infertile Americans liked adopting white babies from Russia instead of non-white kids from America. In retaliation for the Magnitsky Act Russia banned Americans from adopting children there. When the Trump Tower meeting took place and they said they weren't conspiring but talking about adoptions, they were actually talking about dropping the Magnitsky Act in a quid pro quo of some sort

nut
Jul 30, 2019

I was reading a bit more and it sounds like Browder claimed that Magnitsky actually uncovered that Browder had been forced to overpay 230 mill in tax and def not fled the country after refusing to pay the 19 mill he still owed

the adoption ban was apparently justified by Putin pointing out a case of a Russian orphan dying when it was left alone in a hot car in Virginia.

also, I mentioned Browder relinquished US citizenships to dodge taxes, here’s the Wikipedia part with his justification for doing so

“In 1999, Browder received naturalization as a British citizen. Meanwhile, he relinquished his U.S. citizenship in 1998.[3][4][5] He cited that he did so because of "a legacy of bad feeling about the rule of law" as a result of his family having been "viciously persecuted" by U.S. authorities in the 1950s, citing especially his communist grandfather, Earl Browder who was imprisoned twice during the era of McCarthyism.”

Earl Browder was the leader of the US Communist Party for a while

On the newest episode of the Farm podcast, VISUP mentions that he's about to release a book about Epstein and Trump. If it's anything like Strange Tales, it'll be edited like dogshit, but at least it's coming from a better perspective than James Patterson

how much of this is the categorization of murders as by serial murders. If serial killers are in vogue with criminal "science" then you will get more murders in the serial killer bin

lead wasn't in the water, it was in the air. the leaded gasoline hypothesis has appeal because the entire world had a spike in violent crime during this period and a fall in the 90's. since lead erodes impulse control and emotional resilience, it's pretty expected that more violence would occur, including gruesome violence. everyone has intrusive thoughts, but almost nobody acts on them because those thoughts are wild. throw in the totally unaddressed and socially shamed trauma suffered by people that were involved in WW2 and the abuse they perpetuated and it's not exactly surprising to have a spike in serial killers starting out in the 50's, which predates the Phoenix Program.

people also didn't just decide to stop. age is negatively correlated with violent crime. as these folks got older, they got less prone to commit violent crime at about the same rate because they were part of the same lead-brained/traumatize age group.

so Barack Obama Sr was a 25 year old cia tied asset of some kind who comes to Hawaii as the first black student in history to learn russia (with two kids and a pregnant wife)

Ann Dunham was a 18 year old hippy freshmen who didn’t know Kenyan or Russian herself, but her mom (Obama’s grandmother) was in charge of the bank of Hawaii accounts that the CIA used in Asia, which becomes even more relevant with all the dealings regarding her second husband and all the shady poo poo he was up to

Obama and Durham’s parents both objected to the marriage (for obvious reasons) yet Durham’s father kept in contact with Barack Sr long after the divorce and subsequent remarriages

now I know I tastelessly said Ann Durham was a CIA spook with jungle fever, but now I double down with it and claim the entire Obama family and legacy was a CIA engineered plot for a free president to quell any leftist movements. And on top of that the entire birthism movement was a limited hangout to stop people from looking into this borderline demonic history
