#2: SBF STINKS
FTX meltdown + bug nuggets for the europoors + CNN journo becomes Slovenia's president + Olympic-sized clitoris + MORE
SMELLY SAM BANKMAN-FRIED
Some people visually appear like they emit a bad odor and Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is no exception. It might have to do more with the fact that SBF acts like a walking and talking butthole that spews made up bullshit everywhere he goes.
For those just catching up to this story, cryptocurrency exchange and the Democrat’s second-largest donor, FTX, declared bankruptcy after it was revealed that CEO Bankman-Fried had misled regulators and investors about its solvency. On top of that FTX was shadily loaning $3.3 billion to SBF’s trading company Alameda Research.
Billions in funds virtually disappeared overnight and investors have since launched a $11 billion class-action lawsuit. SBF’s house of cards has sent the entire cryptomarket into disarray and it’s also a huge embarassment for the US government with some alleging improper ties to the Ukrainian war effort.
SBF has since departed to the Bahamas where FTX’s headquarters are located and has played a peculiar game of cryptic tweets, fake attempts at honesty and pretentiousness.
The more I look into Bankman-Fried, the more talentless and mediocre he appears. Entrepreneurial culture always left a phony taste in my mouth and SBF is a perfect example of how hollow and superficial the “tech-bro” persona actually is.
Everything SBF has said since filing bankruptcy should be treated as a disingenuous act meant to spare him from consequences.
The Democrat-adjacent media is desperate to spin this into anything except the fraudulent politically-involved clusterf*ck it appears to be. According to Forbes, SBF’s ex-girlfriend and business partner is a “darling of the alt-right.”
In Canada too, pundits are doing vigorous mental gymnastics to pin this on… Donald Trump.
GUILTY, RICH AND CLIMATE OBSESSED
You must have seen the headlines by now…
Climate activists pour flour on Andy Warhol art
The Van Gogh painting and the can of soup
Throw mashed potatoes at Claude Monet
When they’re not vandalizing priceless works of art, climate activists are being bankrolled by the ultra-wealthy.
Buried in one telling interview by the Austrian outlet Profil is a lucid revelation by climate activist Caroline Thurner. According to Thurner, it’s shadowy “wealthy people with a guilty conscience” who are funding the posters, banners and activities of the climate crazed via a shady Climate Action Fund.
ZE POOR MUST EAT ZE BUGS
European supermarket giant Aldi has cooked up a plan to feed poor people nutritiously questionable dirt-cheap critters.
If you’ve visited a grocery store in recent months you’ve likely seen the economical and less healthy brands sold out but don’t worry just head on over to the BUG BOUTIQUE and grab yourself some CRICKET NUGS you worthless peasant.
Will you try it? Just a little taste won’t hurt. No? Then we’ll have to resort to more forceful measures.
IT STUFFS THE WORMS IN ITS FACE OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN.
CNN JOURNO BECOMES PRESIDENT OF SLOVENIA
The journocracy has arrived (at least in Slovenia).
While running under a green-left coalition banner, former CNN journalist and lawyer Nataša Pirc Musar has been elected as Slovenia’s next president.
It’s not uncommon for journalists to enter into politics. Here in Canada our deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland has a long and storied past as a reporter with The Washington Post.
After all, being a journalist means rubbing shoulders with big wig politicians and maintaining sources in the government, so for many, a future in politics isn’t a stretch.
Pirc Musar’s victory already has the usual suspects happy including European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde who publicly congratulated the new president.
Unsurprisingly the Paris-based “Women’s Forum” didn’t offer any congratulations for Italy’s first woman prime minister Giorgia Meloni.
PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC MASCOT IS A GIANT CLITORIS
Paris unveiled its mascot for the 2024 Summer Olympics and everybody thinks it looks like a giant clitoris.
Need I say more? To be fair, they’re actually meant to be the Phyrigian caps worn by the sans-culottes during the French Revolution but it appears designer Joachim Roncin, doesn’t mind the confusion: “If people see a clitoris in it, that's fine, isn't it?"
