If you haven’t read part one, start there! We’re diving right in!
At the end of our last episode, Sam Bankman-Fried’s brother Gabe was put in charge of Guarding Against Pandemics, which was created to lobby public officials to allocate money to ‘prevent the next pandemic’:
You may have even seen this group’s commercials on TV:
In essence, Guarding Against Pandemics was designed to lobby congress to use taxpayer money to create advanced tests, speed vaccine development, and have treatments ‘ready in advance’. (All giveaways to Big Pharma!) To give you an idea of the breadth of The Swamp, helping the group do so was none other than former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge!
And although GAP’s website has been scrubbed of mentions of Sam Bankman-Fried (too bad the internet lives forever!), we can dig deep for then-current posts for clues about the organization’s goals and the people behind it.
Sam Bankman-Fried’s ‘well-funded lobbying work’ didn’t end there. He also backed Protect Our Future, which made an expensive habit of giving to “pandemic” candidates who would support GAP’s goal of supporting public money being rained down from DC. Protect Our Future spent $28.5M in the last election cycle, $27M of which was received from Sam Bankman-Fried, while another million came from FTX’s Nishad Singh.
(From the “you can’t make this up” category, both Protect Our Future and New Arizona Governor (?) Katie Hobbs use the same treasurer and compliance consultant — based out of Maricopa County, Arizona.)
The incestuous webs continue: The FTX Future Fund awarded $1.5 million to Stanford — where Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents just happen to work. This is pulled from the web archive, because obviously this information had to go down the memory hole:
Today on Twitter, Elon Must asked “What is best in life?”
Sam Bankman-Fried’s answer may have been “To create groups that advocate using taxpayer money to funnel to the ‘correct’ people, with a little ‘kickback’ to other ‘correct’ people here and there, all while buddying up to the regulators who are supposed to be holding me accountable!”
And of course, the media wasn’t left out of this ‘attention.’ Sam and Gabe Bankman-Fried established a $5 million ‘grant’ to ProPublica so the media outlet could focus on pandemic preparedness (creating the hype that would drive public sentiment to approve of massive new public pandemic programs).
Sam Bankman-Fried showered so much money on the establishment, The Washington Post lamented how the collapse of FTX threatened his pandemic prevention dreams while brushing aside the fact the money that he spent was stolen from his customers:
The Together Trial
Finally we come to the Together Trial. This was the massive study that ‘proved’ ivermectin didn’t work against covid — all but officially clearing the way for continued vaccine encouragement.
From the start, a section of the population was extremely suspicious of this trial, namely because of the massive conflict of interest of the study’s backers (page 5). I’ve previously written about Bill Gates push into the vaccine industry and — wouldn’t you know it? — we find him in the middle of the Together Trial as well (along with Pfizer and anti-ivermectin FDA stooges).
Looking at the list of players surrounding the Together Trial, it’s a near certainty that the study was designed so ivermectin would ‘fail’ (leaving emergency authorizations in place) and to 're-enforce’ the need for more tests, faster vaccine development, and have treatments ‘ready in advance’ — all major long-term goals of the players involved.
So when I heard that FTX Foundation Group was involved in the Together Trial, I fired up the engines and was ready to rip into Sam Bankman-Fried for funding the trial that paved the way for Big Pharma’s plentiful and persistent profits procured by public plunder.
But sometimes a funny thing happens when you do research: The story doesn’t end up being what you think it is.
While it’s true that the FTX Foundation Group is funding the (for some reason ongoing) Together Trial, the relationship began after the ivermectin research was already released. (You’ll probably need to enlarge this to read it)
So absent some nefarious “We’ll pay you once we get the results we want” type of agreement — for which there’s absolutely no evidence — it seems that FTX didn’t fund the study that ‘killed’ ivermectin at all.
SBF's going to jail, though not permanently: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/11/us-judge-sends-sam-bankman-fried-to-jail-over-witness-tampering.html
Sorry to say this is the first of your columns to which I cannot respond. Not choose not to reply. but literally can't. It is too difficult for me to parse. I suspect that's a function of my hydrocephalus, which is a sentence to a one-way ticket to non-Alzheimer's dementia.
