💰 Joe Biden was just in Ukraine giving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky more US taxpayer money.
But that wasn’t enough.
Yellen is now in Kiev to announce another transfer of $1.25 billion to Ukraine.
Janet Yellen is also working to seize the $300 billion in Russian bank assets frozen by sanctions and transferring it to Ukraine to help rebuild the country.
Yellen met with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other key government officials just days into the war’s second year, repeating U.S. assurances delivered by President Joe Biden a week ago in Kyiv.
“America will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes,” Yellen, flanked by sandbags at the cabinet ministers’ office, told Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
–This has to be the biggest money laundering operation in the history of humanity. How many days of the week where we DON’T send another billion or two to fund this proxy war and democrat campaign finance operation?
–Biden last week. Yellen this week. No checking of anyone’s baggage going on either… Our political leaders are now just mules for the money launderers…
–More Inter-Tribe kickbacks from Janet Yellen Blumenthal 🔯 to Zelensky 🔯
They’re looting the peasants just like they did under Bolshevism.
–I’m honestly starting to think my hunch of Zelensky being the antichrist might be true?
–Can someone tell me how this is Yellen’s role to announce aid and engage with leaders of foreign nations? What does this have to do with managing the Federal Reserve (not Federal, no reserves)?
–They’re robbing our Treasury before the collapse.
–With all this money Zelensky the mad dwarf has been given, you think he would buy himself a new freaking tee shirt.
–It’s hilarious that top US officials can freely fly in and out of Ukraine when Russia controls the airspace. How much do Russian officials get paid to not shoot down enemy aircraft or fire hypersonic missiles at them?
–How come we’re not getting war coverage like we did in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam
–Something evil is going on. Where is our “free press?” Fake News doesn’t ask questions. More than money laundering. Much more.
💭 Climate activists decapitate prominent Berlin Christmas tree
Last Generation climate activists calling for tougher government action to combat the global climate crisis sawed the top off a Christmas tree at the Brandenburg Gate. Police said they attended the scene and took action.
Climate activists in Germany chopped the top off a famous Christmas tree outside Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on Wednesday in the latest in a series of public stunts.
Members of the group Last Generation used a cherry picker to reach the top of the 15-meter-high (50-foot) Nordmann fir.
They then cut off the top of the tree and unfurled a banner that read: “This is just the tip of the Christmas tree.”
“So far we’re seeing only the tip of the underlying disaster in Germany,” said one of the activists, Lilli Gomez, in a statement.
“While all of Germany spends the week getting the best gifts from the biggest stores, others are wondering where they will get their water to drink after droughts and floods have destroyed their crops.”
💭 The comedy sketch accurately depicted Joe Biden as a feeble old man with dementia.
At the end of his speech Biden falls back in Kamala Harris’ arms after suddenly falling asleep.
The fact this is coming from Saudi Arabia – which is a joyless, humorless place where things like music and humor are forbidden or despised – is embarrassing.
💭 Netflix removes Hasan Minhaj comedy episode after Saudi demand
Netflix has removed from its streaming service in Saudi Arabia an episode of a comedy show critical of the kingdom.
The second episode of Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj was removed following a legal demand, which reportedly said it violated a Saudi anti-cybercrime law.
It features Minhaj mocking the actions of Saudi officials following the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi and condemning the crown prince’s policies.
Netflix said it backed artistic freedom but had to “comply with local law”.
What did Hasan Minhaj say?
“Just a few months ago, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as ‘MBS’, was hailed as the reformer the Arab World needed. But the revelations about Khashoggi’s killing have shattered that image,” said Minhaj in the episode of Patriot Act removed by Netflix.
Since being named second-in-line to the throne in June 2017, Prince Mohammed has introduced a raft of headline-grabbing reforms, such as lifting the ban on women being allowed to drive and seeking to shift its economy away from oil.
But, he has also been criticised for escalating a crackdown on dissenting voices, among them a number of women’s rights activists, pursuing a war in neighbouring Yemen that has caused a humanitarian catastrophe, and starting a diplomatic dispute with Qatar that has divided the Gulf Co-operation Council.
At the end of the episode, Minhaj said: “I am genuinely rooting for change in Saudi Arabia. I am rooting for the people of Saudi Arabia. There are people in Saudi Arabia fighting for true reform, but MBS is not one of them.”
“And to those who continue to work with him, just know that with every deal you close you are simply helping entrench an absolute monarch under the guise of progress, because ultimately MBS is not modernizing Saudi Arabia. The only thing he is modernizing is Saudi dictatorship.”
